Chapter 91: Concubine Huan
Hua Guifei rubbed her forehead lightly, and her voice sounded a little weak: "The concubine suddenly felt a little uncomfortable and wanted to go down and rest for a while." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Before Emperor Xuan could say anything, the queen had already turned sideways and expressed concern: "Since my sister is not feeling well, the emperor will let her go back to rest, with Lan Yan serving, the emperor doesn't have to worry." But today's reunion and New Year's celebration, all the sisters gathered together, and the concubines specially prepared a posthumous song, so that the musicians stepped up rehearsals, and invited the emperor and the sisters to taste it carefully. ”
"Sister Queen is so hearted, it seems that all sisters and sisters will feast their ears tonight." Concubine Rong immediately expressed her strong interest and said to Emperor Xuan: "Your Majesty, you are not allowed to leave, the concubines and the emperor in the belly of the concubines will accompany you to celebrate the New Year." ”
Hearing what the queen and Concubine Rong said, the concubines below also looked over one after another, for fear that Emperor Xuan would really leave everyone behind. But even if Emperor Xuan pampered Concubine Hua Guifei, he would not do such an act in public that disregarded the overall situation. He smiled and looked around, first calmed the hearts of the concubines, and then whispered to Concubine Hua: "Then the concubine will go back and rest for a while, and I will see you later." ”
Hua Guifei can say nothing other than saying yes, I can't say that I am comfortable again now, I want to sit down and continue to watch the song and dance, according to her usual grace, she naturally replied empathetically: "Then the concubine will go back first, the emperor will accompany the sisters more, don't spoil everyone's interest because of the concubine." ”
Emperor Xuan said yes and ordered Wang Huaide to send Concubine Hua back to Yiqing Palace with the imperial chariot, and he stayed to continue watching the singing and dancing. However, the singing and dancing performances have passed year after year, and the performances have been performed one after another, as usual, as usual, with long sleeves and bent waists, and there is not much novelty. He became a little interested, and began to think back to the dream dance from last night.
At the end of another dance, the dancing queen left the stage, the musicians stopped playing, and the queen ordered the curtain to be lowered, and the lights and candles were extinguished, and only a few lamps were placed in the four corners of the main hall. The light suddenly became extremely dim, and the atmosphere changed from lively to quiet. The queen's trick was very good, everyone's attention was instantly focused, and even Emperor Xuan stopped meditating, looking forward to the new repertoire that the queen said.
The sound of "dong" sounded like a clear spring dripping into a deep valley, making a crisp and pleasant echo, but it immediately returned to silence. Everyone was puzzled and thought that the sound just now was just the pianist accidentally stirring the strings, but they heard the sound of the piano finally sounding again, thin and long, as if it came from an ancient breeze, wisps and meanders.
The curtain quietly opened a corner, and a round platform surrounded by tulle slowly pushed into the center of the main hall. I don't know what kind of design is used for the base of the round platform, which exudes a faint light from the inside out, the light is not large, and the figure in the tulle is hazy, and gradually stretches out in the distant sound of the piano, faintly with a bit of grace and mystery.
Soon, no one paid any attention to what was being played, for the tulle fell after it, revealing a woman in purple dress and bare feet on the round stage, with her skirt fluttering and about to fly......
Emperor Xuan was overjoyed, stood up from the dragon chair, and then sat down slowly, his eyes firmly locked on the woman, like a lost treasure, and refused to move it for a moment. The queen smiled proudly, but some people's faces froze, and in the darkness, no one had to bother to hide it.
The sound of the piano stopped, the round platform and the purple shadow disappeared behind the curtain again, and the light on the hall reappeared, but it was silent, and after a long time, I heard a cheer, Emperor Xuan took the lead in applauding, and the queen and the concubines also followed with high-fives and praise.
Concubine Rong held her waist, touched her stomach, looked at the queen, and praised meaningfully: "Sister the queen really has a heart, the concubine thought that she was going to feast her ears, but she didn't expect to feast her eyes." ”
The queen didn't intend to pay attention to the ridicule in her words at all, but asked Emperor Xuan for credit: "Your Majesty, I don't know if the new repertoire specially arranged by the concubine for tonight, can you still be satisfied with it?" ”
"The song is good, and the dance is even better!" Emperor Xuan laughed and urged: "I have a lot of rewards, what about the woman who just danced?" Hurry up and ask her to come up and receive the reward! ”
The queen clapped her hands three times, and a woman covered her face with a purple veil and a white brocade cloak walked back to the front of the hall from behind the curtain and knelt down to Emperor Xuan. A pair of jade feet are not as good as socks and shoes, so they are stepping on the cold ground, so white that people look at it with pity, and it is undoubtedly a woman who has just danced.
Emperor Xuan said happily: "The dance you just performed, I like it very much, do you have a name?" ”
"I have never chosen a name, please give it a name to Your Majesty." The woman groaned.
"Good!" Emperor Xuan pondered for a moment, and said happily: "In the past, there were long-sleeved fame that moved the world, but now you have purple clothes that want to fly to win people's hearts, so it is better to call it Flying Dance." ”
The woman kowtowed and thanked her: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your name." ”
Concubine Rong's eyes stared at the woman's body without blinking for a moment, and she wondered: "Your Majesty, how can the concubine feel so familiar when she listens to her voice?" ”
Emperor Xuan said: "As soon as Concubine Ai reminded me, I also felt a little familiar, but if there was really such a beautiful woman in the harem, how could I be willing to let her be left out and buried!" ”
The queen pursed her lips and smiled: "The emperor might as well order her to take off her veil and see who it is?" ”
Emperor Xuan's way is wonderful, and the curiosity of all the women has already been hoisted high, and they all stretch their necks to look at each other, looking forward to seeing her true face of Lushan.
The woman stretched out her fingers, gently pulled off the light purple veil in her ear, and then raised her head slightly, only to see that under the purple veil, the ice muscle and snow skin were particularly dazzling, and above the moon, the willow eyebrows and apricot eyes were even more affectionate.
Everyone exclaimed, "Like a concubine......"
In the early morning at the beginning of the new year, the sun slanted out from behind the clouds, and the Dexi Palace, which had been silent for a cold winter, finally ushered in the melting of ice and snow.
Shen Rushuang was lying on the bed, tilting her head sideways, looking at the light spots on the window lattice through the layers of hanging smoke gauze tents, not knowing what she was thinking. One of Emperor Xuan's arms was still heavy on her, and after a long time, the place where she was pressed was a little painful, and she didn't move, allowing those pains to spread from the local area to the whole body little by little, and then to numbness.
Last night in the main hall, Emperor Xuan said, "Rouhuan Huan, charming and charming", only she can afford a "Huan" word, I will give you Concubine Huan, from now on you will only dance for me alone. She did not refuse, knelt on the ground, bowed her head and thanked her, Emperor Xuan stepped down from the dragon chair, personally helped her up, carried her to the dragon chariot, and sent her to the Dexi Palace.
She felt a little ridiculous, but she danced a dance, and she was promoted to the throne. She felt a little sad again, even if she danced beautifully, even if she kept jumping day and night, some things, lost, could never be replaced.
