Shen Zhuangzhao stepped forward slowly, the queen folded her fingers, her eyes were speechless, and her manly appearance showed the luxurious posture of the middle palace, which put a lot of pressure on the comer, and she didn't dare to look at the queen more.

The palace maid lifted the curtain, she entered the back seat of the curtain, and sat under the queen, the seat of the four concubines.

At the moment when she was close to the queen, Shen Shuzhao vaguely smelled the faint body fragrance from her, which was a mature charm, which was different from the fragrance on the girl who had not left the pavilion outside the palace, and it smelled good.

At this time, the queen chuckled and said, "Concubine Yuan, the next thing should be what you are good at." ”

She was humble and said, "What does the queen mean?" ”

"Concubine Yan wants to dance on the day of the palace banquet, your talent is known to Beijing, and the palace is ashamed of itself, and you are the only one in the whole palace who can give her some guidance, in order to be perfect, you just see."

Shen Zhuangzhao excused himself in a panic: "The concubine doesn't dare." The queen mother is too modest, and the concubine may not be able to bear it. ”

"Concubine Yuan is unwilling to help? That's it. ”

With a calm word, the queen put Shen Zhuangzhao in the position of arrogance, and her words were forever like a cold winter wind, without any emotion, silently piercing her chest. Shen Zhuangzhao gathered resentment in her heart, so she had to swallow silently, she clenched her ten fingers, and remembered what she said in the family letter: Just endure it.

"Why should the queen ask her? In the six palaces, the emperor has never mentioned to any sister that the concubine's dancing skills are outstanding. Concubine Yan said with a sword in her words, and looked at Shen Zhuangzhao contemptuously, as if she was just looking at the tiny ants stepping on the ground.

The surrounding concubines all showed mocking expressions, no favor, forgive me for being useless no matter how amazing you are, it's really pitiful-

"Concubine, let's dance." Queen's Road.

The person on the phoenix seat spoke, and everyone retracted their thoughts and focused on themselves. Now it's the turn of Concubine Yan to present a dance of neon clothes and feathers, accompanied by the Yuefu Dancing Girl, Concubine Yan is dressed in heavy makeup, elegant and elegant, soft and elegant in her gestures, at this moment she is like her own title, and her charm is to the extreme. Others watched it with relish, and secretly compared her with themselves, each winning or losing.

But Shen Zhuangzhao didn't think so, Concubine Yan was obviously an imitation of the first emperor's favorite concubine at the banquet outside the palace, "Ni Shang Song Caged Jun Heart" adapted dance, thinking of this, she also showed the same contempt - that year, she really saw the concubine's dance at the private banquet in the palace, with the first emperor and the powerful queen mother.

What is the elegance of the peerless peony, what is the six palaces of pink and white colorless, she has deeply appreciated.

At this time, the queen was keenly aware of the rise in the corners of Shen Zhuangzhao's lips, "Concubine Yuan, why are you smiling?" She wondered.

"Nothing." Shen Zhuangzhao replied: "The concubine just thinks ...... The imitation traces in Yan Concubine's demeanor are too deliberate. ”

"Oh?" The queen raised her eyebrows slightly, becoming more and more curious about her, "Why do you say that?" ”

"The reason why Concubine Jiang won the favor of the emperor is because her eyebrows and eyes are extremely beautiful, so she mostly covers her sleeves and shows her eyes in her dancing, and Concubine Yan is obviously beautiful in the whole, but she always shows people with a pair of eyes that are not too breathtaking.

After listening to her words, the queen became interested, "Why do you know so well? ”

Shen Zhuangzhao smiled after hearing this, and she replied in a voice that everyone below could hear: "That's because the concubine has seen it with her own eyes-the real Xi Shi." ”

When the concubine in the seat heard this, she was so angry that her nose was crooked, what does this shrew who has fallen out of favor mean? Are you jealous of how well you dance? In an instant, there was no interest in dancing, she danced to the end of the song with a straight face, the queen shook her head helplessly, and Concubine Yan's temperament was still too calm. After the end, the queen asked Shen Zhuangzhao again: "How did Concubine Fang Cai dance?" Concubine Yuan should give me some advice. ”

"The concubine is too shallow to evaluate the talented concubine, so the concubine body will not say much." Shen Zhuangzhao has never been the master of being bullied.

Concubine Yan said angrily: "Concubine Yuan's talent for proficient music and rhythm is known to everyone, how can there be any reason for not being worthy, if Niangniang really has a deep memory of Jiang's neon dress and feather dance as said before, why don't you come up and dance yourself?" ”

"Yes, the talented concubines of the concubine have heard of it before they entered the palace, and now they have seen it, why don't they demonstrate it in person?" The concubine, who was good friends with Yan Concubine, echoed.

For this scene, the queen did not intend Shen Zhuangzhao to dance herself, she only knew that the order given to her by the Xiao family had been achieved, that is, to humiliate Shen Zhuangzhao. At this moment, the concubine can't get on and off the stage, how embarrassing it is. Now that the anger of the people has been stirred up, it is up to her to put out the fire. "Alright...... Concubine Yuan......"

Unexpectedly, Shen Zhuangzhao stood up straight.

"Concubine Yuan, you ......"

In the queen's astonishment, Shen Zhuangzhao did not smile, "Queen Mother, please allow the concubine to dance a neon dress and feather dance for you." ”

The queen didn't expect her to be so impulsive, but for her it was just another good show, so she nodded in agreement.

Walking down the curtain, Shen Zhuang Zhao walked to the center of the group of concubines, and then turned to the people in Yuefu and ordered: "Just follow your practice." ”

Concubine Yan snorted coldly, pride appeared on her face, she and the concubines walked to the corner, and then said unconvinced: "Does she really think she is unique?" ”

The concubine next to her hurriedly relieved: "Don't worry, there is the queen mother, after the end of the song, maybe the queen mother will find fault with what excuse." ”

Then, the people of Yuefu played the first strings, and the dancing girls with high combs and temples of the nine immortals greeted the song, with light steps and a sound of Shanshan. The song suddenly rose high, and suddenly turned over the clouds and the sea to the Yangtze River and the flowers passed away, the beauty was like floating duckweed, high and low in the waves, slowly disappeared by the clouds and smoke, and finally scattered, and finally revealed the only beauty behind her who was tough and arrogant in the world - Shen Zhuangzhao, her complexion was transparent with snow, her arms were soft, and she bent in a graceful posture, and the tulle around her shoulders was twisted because of her posture, and there was a tendency of "the wind blows the fairy robe fluttering".

The queen slowly changed from a bland expression to a detached look, not because she was distracted, but because she was too focused. The corners of Shen Zhuangzhao's lips bent, his eyebrows were lowered and he was pitiful, and the charm and beauty of the world showed a little red plum blossom makeup on his forehead. Who made them despise themselves? Shen Zhuangzhao smiled coldly, and didn't care about anything else, just if there was really a sweetheart here, she was dancing to show the other party - if there was, it would be fine. Her flattering posture is only revealed to the person who is vain and does not exist zài, with a dancing posture, with a soft beauty, with a figure, the body and mind of the person will be conquered, the lips contain Dan slightly breath, the fragrance of the daughter's body will not be dispersed for a long time, Jun will remember the concubine day and night because of the dance, in the dark, in half a dream, all I breathe is the fragrance of pity from the concubine's body, from then on, Jun's heart can no longer tolerate others, but there will always be only the back of the concubine in front of him - like a cold mist from the rain, standing still, ethereal and looking from a distance, even if you dig out your heart and lungs, you can't ask for it, so come, this is the real meaning of the neon dress and feather dance - this is Shen Zhuangzhao's understanding of it.

Qingyun is out of Xiu, and the soles of her feet are lotus, not because of entering the palace, not because of her background, she can become a talented and intelligent dancer, but she is only a high-ranking concubine without favor at the moment, and she can only be trapped in a cage for the rest of her life.

E'e straightened her red makeup, raised her hands slightly, Shen Zhuangzhao's fluttering skirt was like a fragrant breeze, and for a moment, the woman on the phoenix seat seemed to be able to feel it, she smelled her lonely fragrance.

The dancing girl surrounds as always, and returns to the beginning. Shen Zhuangzhao stepped back step by step until she stopped in the center, and finally she twisted the corner of one end of her skirt, bowed her instep lightly, rotated, and the skirt was low and half empty and round with white flower marks. has turned around several times, and the gap between the talented and the acquired hard workers is very obvious. Standing next to the hall and wanting to watch her proud concubine slowly turn from contempt to surprise, and then felt a sense of depression, but her face was still able to hold on for a while, but when she saw that Concubine Yuan just turned a little and wiped her efforts over the past few years to nothing, the haze shrouded her head in a flash, and shame and resentment were intertwined back and forth in the eyes of Concubine Yan, which made the little woman gasp, and then turned her head and stopped looking.

Among the dancing girls, Shen Zhuangzhao vaguely saw the person behind the bright yellow curtain - she had never felt so calm, she was no longer confused, and even forgot her previous sorrow, only amazed, and surged in vain under the waves. If the beauties on the stage can know, they will definitely have endless pride in their hearts.

In the end, the loneliness was over, the walls of the temple were empty, and surrounded by all the women, the beauty retreated, and the clothes seemed to be slowly hidden in the smoke, and could not be found again. For a moment, Shen Zhuangzhao recalled the scene of dancing in the mansion, and in a blink of an eye, the reality of the indifferent golden wall of the imperial city appeared in front of him. But what else can there be but sigh for yourself?

After finishing the song, Shen Zhuangzhao learned from the emperor's favorite concubine, covering his sleeves and showing his eyes gracefully, staring at the upper seat movingly, and she couldn't see the expressions of the people inside. After the end of this neon dress and feather dance, all the concubines were dumbfounded, and couldn't say a word for a long time, in the past, the Jiang family relied on this to win the favor of the "myth of neon clothes" actually made her dance so well, the rumor in the capital is really true, and then look at the disrespectful concubine - poor her green silk is still slightly messy because of the previous dance, with flushing on her face, but no one cares about the charm she once had, suddenly, the sweat and tears on her face blurred together, she cried.

Concubine Yan immediately got up aggrieved, and then ran out with her head down, the pear blossom brought rain, and her back was quite pitiful, what a great shame it was for her - a woman forgot about irony, and ran out just to protect her face from tears.

The queen couldn't help but stand up, but she couldn't tell if it was because of Concubine Yan or something else.

Shen Zhuangzhao stood out from the crowd, as if to say, look at it, am I not able to compete for favor, or I don't want to compete for favor?

There was silence.

No one spoke.

After a long period of consternation, the first to speak out was Wang Meiren, "I didn't expect Concubine Yuan to dance so well, which made the concubine and others dare not perform, Queen Niangniang, don't you say?" ”

The queen trembled a little when she heard her voice, "Hmm." ”

Even when you touch your hand on your chest, you can hear your heartbeat beating one after another.

But she still has to come up with a dignified middle palace style.

"Concubine Yuan, the song is over, let's go back to our seats."

Why can't the excitement subside?

Obviously, that person is the concubine he despises the most - he wants to replace his own concubine.

"Thank you, Queen Mother."

Shen Zhuangzhao said softly.

She walked up the long steps, and slowly, the distant countenance became clear.

The queen pressed her unstable feelings, and for this reason, she even deliberately staggered Shen Zhuangzhao's gaze.

Shen Zhuangzhao didn't realize this, she sat next to the queen, got out of the rouge and vulgar fragrance permeated by Her Royal Highness's dancing concubines, and then suddenly smelled the cold fragrance from the queen, huh...... It's a little better smelling.

She involuntarily approached the queen.

The singing and dancing flute in front of him still continues, but the taste of appreciation among the people has changed a lot.
