Chapter 12
Seeing that Ah Xiu's anger did not subside, Concubine Wan left the table and knelt down in the middle: "The queen is angry, what a day today, it is the negligence of the concubine that makes the concubine angry, so that the people in my palace collide with Sister Hui Concubine, please punish the mother." ”
"Get up!" Ah Xiu softened his tone, "Go back and tell Zheng Zhaoyi, copy the female commandment ten times, and send it to the palace." As for Concubine Hui," Ah Xiu glared at Hui Lan, "It's only been a few days since she came out, and she can't stop her temperament, on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival reunion, there is such a dispute between the sisters in the palace during the banquet, you are the old man in the palace, is there no sense of proportion?" Tomorrow, I will copy it ten times to the main palace. ”
"Yes, Queen." Huilan and Concubine Wan bowed their heads and responded. So Concubine Wan got up and returned to her position, Su Xin clapped her hands and signaled the dance and music to continue, and after a while, Zhu Yuanzhang and Yizhen came back and re-entered the table.
After the song was over, Yizhen didn't see Zheng Yingxue, and muttered in a low voice, Zhu Yuanzhang asked her what was the matter, Yizhen said: "I wanted to listen to Yingxue's sister play a pipa to meet the situation, but how do you know that people are not there." ”
Ah Xiu smiled: "Sister Yingxue was drunk, so I sent her back." Yizhen smiled and asked Wan Concubine: "Then why don't you have a dance with Sister Miaoyi, I don't know if my sister is willing?" Miaoyi smiled: "Today is the day of reunion, Miaoyi is willing to dance to please everyone, but let me change my clothes." ”
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, and Miaoyi got up to change clothes. Yizhen said: "Bai Juyi in the Tang Dynasty wrote, 'Hu Xuannu, out of Kangju. The strings sang with their sleeves raised, and the snow fluttered and danced. Turn left and right tirelessly, thousands of turns of time. The subtlety of the Hu Xuan dance lies in the tactfulness of the reciprocating body. His Majesty named Miaoyi's sister as a concubine. The dance is sure to be extraordinary. It's just that His Majesty is stingy and refuses to let our sisters share the reward. ”
Zhu Yuanzhang listened to her coquettishness and said with a smile: "Since she went to change her clothes, you can wait a minute, why do you say that I am stingy?" Yizhen smiled slyly: "This Hu Xuan Dance flourished in the Tang Dynasty, but in the Song Dynasty, it has been dispersed, and now, most of them are in the name of Hu Xuan Dance, but the dance is Tianzhu Dance, which is a thousand miles away." Miaoyi's sister thanked the king with the almost lost Hu Xuan dance, this kind of eye blessing, who doesn't want to open their eyes, but His Majesty is hiding it privately, if I don't have the courage to invite my sister to dance today, Your Majesty will hide it, isn't it stingy? ”
Ah Xiu sneered: "That's it, Your Majesty, how can you talk about Yizhen girl!" Her small mouth can say that she can retreat a million male soldiers. Zhu Yuanzhang laughed: "Yes, yes!" It's still the queen who protects me, and I don't dare to talk to this sharp-tongued art girl anymore! ”
For a while, everyone laughed and drank a few more glasses, and the palace people came to remove the carpet in the middle, and saw Honglian come in and whisper a few words to the musician. Several musicians left the table, and Shaoqing came back with the instrument, and the music was together, but it was a flute.
The green ripples and red ripples blew out a few lights in the hall, and when the light dimmed slightly, the sound of the flute turned from slow to urgent, and the strings and drums rose again, and a masked woman wearing a short dress, a wide water-colored silver silk dress, and a flower crown on her head spun out from the corner.
The two-foot long sleeve hem grew out of his hand, slowly whirling and dancing, the skirt opened like a bell, the waist was slender, and the body was like a willow. At first, as the music progressed, it flickered left and right, near and far. Suddenly, the tune was high, spinning like flying, the skirt was completely open like a disc at the waist, the hands were sometimes raised and sometimes bent, the ribbons on the waist were flying, and the Dou Dan on the jade feet was floating on the ground like a red thread.
The rotation became more and more rapid, and even the dancer's face could not be seen clearly, the dancer seemed to be dizzy in the halo, and everyone opened their mouths to see it, and suddenly the flute stopped, and the dancer suddenly fell to the ground, the skirt spread out, one hand raised like a goose's neck, and the other hand fell to the ground like a crescent moon, and the dance was finished.
Miaoyi got up steadily, panted lightly and took off the veil, and smiled at everyone: "Miaoyi is ugly." Yizhen was stunned for a long time, and Ah Xiu took the lead in replying to his senses and praised: "Humanity is 'returning to the wind and dancing in the air', I didn't believe it before, how could someone spin like a cloud, and when I saw my sister dancing today, I knew that the ancients were not bullied!" ”
Zhu Yuanzhang praised: "Miaoyi, Miaoyi, I thought that your weekday dance was already amazing, but when I looked at it today, I realized that you still had a song!" Yizhen also turned around and admired: "Yuan Zhen once said, 'Softly wearing streamers, wandering around the fingers with the ring', Bai Juyi also said, 'The strings and drums are raised with both sleeves, and the snow is fluttering and dancing', no matter how you imagine it, I always feel that the praise is too much, and now I look at it, I can't resist my sister's dancing posture!" I wonder what the other sisters think? ”
Lian'er also nodded: "The dance of the concubine's sister is like a snowflake fluttering in the air, like a fluffy grass flying in the wind, but it is lighter than a snowflake, more flexible than a fluffy grass, and even the speeding wheels feel slow as if they stopped compared to her, and even the whirlwind blowing by is inferior." ”
"My sister rotates left and right, tirelessly, thousands of laps and turns. When she turned so fast, she was so fast that she could barely see her face and back, but when she stopped, she was so steady, like a fairy descending to earth. Zhilan also smiled.
Zhu Yuanzhang was overjoyed: "I want to seal you, but you are already a concubine." Spread the decree and give the name of the neon fairy. Concubine Wan smiled gently: "Thank you, Your Majesty for the reward." Zhu Yuanzhang beckoned her to the front and whispered: "I'll go to your place tonight, go back first." ”
Miaoyi nodded and said to Ah Xiu: "The queen forgives me, Miaoyi is not good at drinking, she just danced, and now she is a little drunk, please allow me to change my clothes and go back." Ah Xiu nodded: "Go, remember not to blow the wind after changing your clothes, you will have a headache after drinking, go back and let the palace people drink some milk tea for you before sleeping." Hurt your stomach carefully. ”
Seeing that Miaoyi went, Ah Xiu left the table and returned to the palace first when he was tired, and Zhu Yuanzhang and everyone were happy until they left. Yizhen thought that Zhu Yuanzhang would go to his palace to rest as he said when he left the table in the middle, but Zhu Yuanzhang excused himself and went to Miaoyi.
Chu Fang helped Yizhen: "Your Majesty just left the table with Niangniang and said so many considerate words, why did you miss the appointment?" Ye-jin laughed: "Naturally, I went to accompany the fairy." Fang pouted and said, "What a fairy, the slave looks like a fox." ”
Yizhen stopped and glared: "The person on the tip of the emperor's heart, you dare to scold?" How many heads do you have?! Cailan explained: "She is just not worth it for her master." Ye-jin was even more angry: "It's not worth it for me? I am now a concubine, one person is above ten thousand people, how many pairs of eyes are staring, you are the people around me, not only do you not know how to be cautious in words and deeds, but you are talking nonsense in front of me? If others listen to me, it will seem that I am something! ”
"With how she is favored, His Majesty only rewarded the title today, and did not seal the concubine, even if it is sealed, there is only one concubine, I don't mess with myself, how can others have a chance? You are shallow in your knowledge, and you only care about competing for favor, why don't you look at the few girls around the queen, how do you behave in words and deeds? (To be continued.) )
