Chapter Forty-Nine: Chang'e in the Moon
After all the nobles of the family finished lighting the palace lanterns, the virtuous concubine smiled gently: "These palace lanterns, this palace looks interesting, what do you think?" β
Rong Sheng's eyes were smiling, a pair of string moon eyebrows were slightly raised, and the smile under his eyes seemed to be a circle of ripples, so that the nobles couldn't help but shame their faces, "Erchen also thinks it's funny." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ info" is just that, and there is nothing else to say, and the ladies can't help but be a little disappointed.
"I used to be the emperor and served the emperor, and I once accompanied the banquet in Zhaoyang. There are thousands of songs and dances, and I love the neon dress dance the most. During the dance, the cold food spring breeze day, the jade hook bar under the incense case. The dancer in front of the case, Yan Ruyu, does not wear vulgar clothes...... 1 "Outside the hall faintly came a soft and tactful singing, the phoenix chanted and blowing, sometimes like a thin spring gently flowing in the mountains, sometimes like a crisp and tactful warbler in the spring, everyone here is holding their breath to listen, for fear that a heavy breath will disturb the singing outside the hall.
Rong Bingye couldn't help but put down the wine bottle in his hand, and there seemed to be a hint of surprise on his handsome face, "Who is singing?" After that, he followed the song and walked out of the temple, and when everyone saw this, they hurriedly followed.
A trace of surprise flashed in Su Dai's eyes, and he glanced at Concubine Xian and Concubine Ning without a trace, but saw that the two of them were smiling with surprise that could not be concealed, and even anger. Also, if the singer is a noble lady of a family, I am afraid that things will not be so simple.
Out of the palace gate, only to see the faint light in the distant night, but really like the illusory fairyland, suddenly, the curtain like the night faintly out of a dusty fairy, the woman is wearing an ivory white snow gauze neon dress, the clothes are blowing in the breeze like the fairy of the mortal world, the flying fairy bun made of three thousand green silk is more dusty than the flying fairy bun of the palace concubines on weekdays. Everyone stared at the woman in the distance, all wanting to explore her face, but the woman's face was hidden behind a light veil, and it was dim and unreal.
With a gentle singing, the woman danced, the ring around her waist fluttered in the dance, and the steps between the sideburns were shining in the faint light.
Su Dai couldn't help but turn his eyes to look at Rong Bingye, but when he saw that he was looking at the woman dancing in the distance, she suddenly felt like a mixture.
The moonlight like water gently sprinkled on the ground, the woman danced softly and delicately, and the tactful singing gradually sang to the end, with the last singing, the woman's dancing posture was finally frozen, looking from afar, like a fairy in the mortal world. A fluffy white rabbit slowly jumped under the shadow of the tree in the distance, the woman leaned over to pick up the rabbit, the rabbit in her arms was lying obediently, and the fragrance of the occasional osmanthus was delivered by the breeze.
Rong Bingye's eyes were full of affection, and his voice was full of indescribable tenderness, "Just ask Chang'e about the bottom line, I want to go down to the sky 2." Who are you, really from Guanghan Palace? β
I only heard the woman chuckle, and bowed with the rabbit in her arms, her voice was tactful and crisp, "The concubine is not from Guanghan Palace, but from Lingxi Palace." β
The sound was like a thunderclap, and it exploded in the ears of all the concubines, and Concubine Ning's nails stained with red Kodan lightly grasped the Jinpa, and a trace of fierceness quickly crossed her eyes. Concubine Xian's gentle smile was like a mask about to shatter, turning into pieces at the touch of a light. The smile on the corner of Su Dai's lips had long been smoothed, and a trace of disbelief flashed in his eyes.
Jiang Mi also couldn't believe it, and gently held Su Dai's hand.
I saw that the woman raised her bare hand lightly, took off the light veil, and revealed a face as bright as the autumn moon, and it was Sheng Han'an, who hid out of the hall at some point.
Sheng Han'an hugged the rabbit in his arms to an internal servant, and then Lianbu stepped forward, Rong Bingye held the hand she handed over, lowered his head and said softly: "I didn't expect it to be you." Sheng Han smiled, his voice was full of gentleness and restraint: "The concubine wanted to surprise His Majesty, so she quietly came out of the banquet, Your Majesty blames the concubine?" The gentleness between her eyebrows is like a galaxy in the distant night, but she has completely lost the arrogance and domineering of the past.
Rong Bingye was affectionate, and his eyes were very doting: "The dance music you carefully prepared is already commendable." How can I blame you? β
The two people in front of him were affectionate, Su Dai only felt that there seemed to be a sour pass under his eyes, pursed his lips and said nothing, he didn't want to see this scene anymore, so he looked away, but he accidentally looked at a line of sight, from Rong Sheng, he smiled as much as he saw in his eyes, just looking at Su Dai, she was a little flustered, for fear of being misunderstood by others, so she lowered her head and lowered her eyes. When he saw her eyes down, he couldn't help but hook the corners of his lips.
After the banquet dispersed, Su Dai and Jiang Mi returned to the palace together.
On the way, Jiang Mi was afraid that Su Dai would feel sad in his heart, so he said softly: "The emperor's grace is like this, no one can say for sure, but Your Majesty has you in his heart." β
"This matter is not Sheng Han'an's handiwork." Su Dai suddenly spoke, startling Jiang Mi, only to hear her voice continue to come, "Sheng Han'an was born beautiful, but she has no brains, she wants to learn Concubine Ning to crown the six palaces, but she has no means to concubine Ning." The way to invite pets this time is definitely not something she can come up with, the right time and place are right for her, and there must be someone behind her to plan for her. β
Jiang Mi felt that her words were reasonable, and also said, "Then who do you think is behind the scenes?" β
"As soon as Sheng Han'an revealed his identity, I looked at the expressions of Concubine Xian and Concubine Ning, and they didn't seem to know. Who can make Sheng Hanan obedient, I can't think of anyone now. β
This is the strange place, Sheng Han'an is domineering on weekdays, and he can't wait to walk with his face raised, but today he is meek and docile, like a gentle and virtuous lady, not to mention that Sheng Han'an's position is not low, from Sanpin Jieyu, there are only five people above her, including Concubine Xiangui, Concubine Ning, Concubine Zhuang, Su Dai and Wen Zhaoyi, if Concubine Xian and Concubine Ning don't know, then Concubine Zhuang and Wen Zhaoyi are left, but Wen Zhaoyi is Concubine Xiangui's henchman, and what Concubine Xiangui doesn't know, Wen Zhaoyi has no reason to know. Could it be Concubine Zhuang?
In the palace, Concubine Zhuang Wei Xinyi has no quarrel with the world, but judging from Wei Shu, she doesn't look like a person who has no quarrel with the world, is it really her? Su Dai thought secretly.
That night, Rong Bingye summoned Sheng Han'an to sleep, and Fengluan Chunen's car drove out of the Lingxi Palace, and the sound of jingling bells spread all over the harem.
Su Dai was lying on the bed, the candles had already been extinguished in the hall, and the cool moonlight poured into the room through the carved windows, and the room was quiet. Her eyes were open, and the complicated patterns made her dizzy, but there was more of his doting smile in front of her, she selfishly thought that such a smile full of tenderness and pampering was only for herself, it turned out that she could also be naΓ―ve to others. A sarcastic smile tugged at the corner of her lips, the emperor's saint, heh, why is he an emperor!
On the second day, the holy decree from Shanggongju told the six palaces, "Fengtian carrier, the emperor edict said, Jieyu Sheng's family, smart and agile, beautiful and light, Yu quality and famous, long service palace eunuch." Special promotion is a three-grade noble concubine, admiring this. β
Exegesis:

From India, formerly known as "Brahman Song", Yang Jingshu presented to the court in the Hexi Festival in the Kaiyuan Dynasty, and was processed and polished by Li Longji of Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, and was renamed "Ni Clothes and Feather Song" in 754 AD. Xuanzong's favorite concubine Yang Yuhuan is famous for her good dance "Neon Dress and Feather Dance".
2. The words are from the Song Dynasty lyricist Gao Deng's "Waves and Sands, Biyue Hanging Autumn Night", the whole poem is "Biyue Hanging Autumn Night." The fragrance of osmanthus wafts. The road to the Guanghan Palace is long. Let's ask Chang'e about the bottom line, and I want to go down to the sky. Lanyu hangs on her hair. Worship the court. The gods will be in and free. Take the idle sun and moon in the pot to accompany Wang Qiao. β
