Chapter 209: Performing in front of the emperor, a stunning beauty
At night, the capital has returned to its former bustling and lively. The entertainment activities of the pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info suspended due to the funeral of the first emperor were reactivated with the beginning of the new emperor's enthronement ceremony.
On the night of the imperial city, the autumn breeze was slightly warm, and there was a little sweet smell of fragrant dew wafting in the air.
Different from the lively pleasures of the people, the dinner in the palace is atmospheric and grand.
The new emperor and his wife Lu Fangfei, who has not yet been officially canonized, sit side by side on the high platform, and there are several cases on the left and right under the steps, and behind the cases sit the most important ministers of the emperor. Those who can enter the palace to participate in the banquet today are either rich or expensive. The few sitting in the front row are members of the royal family. Then there are several princes and marquis who have survived three dynasties. Then there are a number of elders, scholars, generals, and scholars...... Far away, in the spacious hall, hundreds of people, but there was no loud noise, and the courtiers sitting next to each other occasionally whispered a few words, most of the time, they were all paying attention to the actions of the new emperor above.
Near the innermost side of the temple gate, on the last seat, sat Xu Yuqin.
In the center of the main hall, Mei Ji danced with long sleeves, accompanied by the majestic palace music played by the palace pianist, and every gesture was full of style. How can the people in the palace really appreciate the soft beauty of the dancers. It wasn't until a figure wearing a neon robe appeared in the hall that it aroused everyone's admiration.
I saw a beautiful woman with skin better than snow, with a ribbon wrapped around her arm that had been tied on the beam of the main hall, and she flew in like a fairy. She landed lightly in the middle of the dancers, taking all the attention of those present at the right time.
I saw her using the ribbon as the axis, flying back and forth. People can't see her face clearly, just looking at the graceful figure, they can't help but guess that her appearance must be extremely beautiful. When she danced slowly and slowly fell from the ribbon, the crowd couldn't help but let out a few more admirations.
I saw that she was depicted with a red plum blossom between her eyebrows, and there were eight treasures on her high combed bun with eight treasures and beads and silk golden phoenixes, and the phoenix's mouth was decorated with long beads and tassels, swaying back and forth with her every movement. She has slender eyebrows, almond eyes, a small nose tip, and red lips like cherry blossoms. The most touching thing is that the snow is condensed, under the lamp of the main hall, it is lined with more and more lustrous jade.
The thin waist is tightly bound with a wide red silk, which is really not enough to grasp. The small slender feet step on the beat, kicking their long legs from time to time, and dancing the cascading skirts like flowers.
I saw her hands folded, her eyes flashed, her left leg hooked, wrapped around the ribbon, and slowly soared, but it was her head and feet, rising higher and higher. Then, she wrapped the ribbon around her legs, stretched her arms forward, and raised her head slightly, looking like a flying fairy.
With her sudden downward movement, everyone present was shocked into a cold sweat,—— afraid that the beauty would fall to the ground and hurt the ice muscles and jade bones, what should I do?
I saw her smile brightly, her eyebrows and eyes were as bright as stars, and she landed firmly on the ground. Everyone's hearts fell back into place, and they couldn't help but smile at her. Her gaze never stopped at anyone, but everyone present had the illusion that she was staring at her with a smile.
I don't know when, the dancing girl who was originally dancing in the center of the hall quietly retreated cleanly, and she was the only one left in the center of the hall. And the pianist's music has also changed from an atmospheric and heavy tune to a lively and agile song "Looking at the Sea Tide".
In the center of the main hall, the woman who had just danced opened her small cherry lips, and an incomparably ethereal and pure singing voice escaped from her mouth:
"The southeast shape wins, the three Wu metropolises, Qiantang has been prosperous since ancient times, the smoke willow painting bridge, the wind curtain and green curtain, and the difference of 100,000 people. The clouds and trees surround the embankment sand, the angry waves roll frost and snow, and the moat is endless. The city is a jewel, the household is profitable, and the competition is luxurious. Heavy lakes are stacked on top of each other. There are three autumn laurels and ten miles of lotus. Qiang tube clear, Lingge flooded the night, frolicking and fishing lotus baby. Thousands of horsemen have high teeth. Listen to the flute and drum while drunk, and enjoy the smoke. The picture of the different day will be good, and return to Fengchi Kua. ”
Her eyes are flowing, her posture is picturesque, and her voice is pure and beautiful, gentle and gentle. After she finished singing, everyone was still immersed in the beauty of her singing, unable to return to their senses. She bowed down: "Courtier, Yao Xinyue, I wish the emperor a long foundation and eternal prosperity of the Celestial Empire!" Hooray, hooray, hooray! ”
Yu Wenwei said with a smile: "What a foundation for ten thousand years, the Celestial Empire will be prosperous!" What a talented girl in Kyushu! Aifei, what do you say you should reward Miss Yao? ”
Lu Fangfei showed a decent smile, looked at the beautiful woman in the center of the hall, and said in a reserved and soft voice: "Miss Yao gave us such a big surprise, naturally we should be rewarded. It's just that Miss Yao is an elegant and refined person, and I'm afraid that ordinary jewelry and silk can't get into her eyes. The emperor is really embarrassed by the concubines! ”
Without a trace, Lu Fangfei threw the question back to the emperor.
In the past, she performed with Zheng Zixin and Wei Yan, and the emperor rewarded them at that time because he wanted to keep them in the palace as concubines. She didn't know what her husband was thinking. If the emperor really fell in love with this Miss Yao, she would naturally accept her into the palace generously. But the emperor wanted her to ask his wife, to take the initiative to usher in a strong opponent for herself, but she was unwilling.
Now that the back position is vacant, she has not yet been sealed, and everything is unknown. In case Yu Wenwei's mind changes after ascending the throne, she falls in love with this newcomer of "Yanguan Kyushu" and insists on establishing him, where will she save face?
Yu Wenwei smiled slightly, "Third brother, what do you say?" ”
He moved his gaze to King Lu at the bottom of the stairs.
Before Lu Wang Yu Wenli could speak, Yao Xinyue had already pouted and said in a coquettish voice: "Your Majesty, if you want to reward your courtiers, why don't you ask your courtiers what they want, but ask your courtiers' brother-in-law?" ”
"Huh!" Yu Wenwei laughed disapprerovingly, and spread his hands to everyone, "Look, look at this sharp mouth, even I have arranged it!" Well, you say it yourself, what reward do you want? ”
Yao Xinyue's eyes flashed, and she said with a smile: "The courtiers hope that the emperor can allow the courtiers to stay in Kyoto forever!" ”
She is the cousin of Princess Lu, and her father is the Taishou of Yingcheng, and this time she came to the capital to visit Princess Lu. Now she asks to stay in the capital forever, which means that she hopes to find a husband in the capital...... Could it be that which son did she fall in love with?
Or, is her goal simply to enter the palace to accompany her?
Lu Fangfei's smile remained unchanged, her back was straight, and her posture was elegant, but no one knew the coldness that suddenly arose in her heart. She turned her face sideways, trying to gauge her husband's expression beside her.
saw that his gaze was falling on his face, his eyebrows were affectionate, and there was a smile on the corner of his lips.
Under the dragon case, which everyone couldn't see, the new emperor's right hand held Lu Fangfei's left hand tightly. The warmth and strength from the palm of the palm seemed to be dissecting her heart,—— Fangfei, don't be stupid, no matter how beautiful others are, they can't take away my heart. In my heart, I only have the country and you! I can't fit anyone anymore...... (To be continued.) )
