"This mud gold nine rings began to be planted by the craftsmen of the flower house the year before, and it took three years to get such a plant, you can enjoy it." The queen pointed to a large golden chrysanthemum in a glass house in the middle of the garden

"Yes, Queen." The crowd echoed in unison.

The chrysanthemum is indeed amazing, about half a zhang high, the branches and leaves are huge, the petals are moon-shaped, the layers are very lively, the color is not the usual pale yellow, but the royal use of golden, even if it is separated by a distance, but can also smell its sweet chrysanthemum.

"This muddy gold nine rings should be fragrant and fragrant, and the colors are bright." The queen said to a woman in white.

It is really difficult to see someone wearing a white dress at such a banquet in the palace, which is not unbeautiful, but unlucky. But the man's smile was calm, the white skirt was made of ordinary yarn, and only a single plum was embroidered on the skirt, and the voice was light and light, but there was no coldness.

"Who is this?" Sister Hui carefully touched Sister Yan'er's elbow and asked in a low voice.

"She is the concubine of the harem, Li Niangniang." Sister Yan's eyes showed envy.

"It's stunning." Although the man was dressed in ordinary clothes, with a simple headdress and a peach hairpin, his face was like a peach blossom in March, and his eyes were clear and clear.

The facial features are delicate but they complement each other well, the queen's face is not bad, but it is much worse than this Li Guifei, lacking some of the tenderness and cleanliness that a woman should have.

"The concubine was born in Shilin, this is a very good thing." Next to her, a lady who was also from a noble family and married into the royal family praised.

Although Qinggui has always despised the extravagance and moth-eating behavior of the royal family, it is not uncommon for his daughter to marry into the royal marriage. The queen smiled slightly from beginning to end, and was noncommittal.

Later, when it was time for lunch, the chrysanthemums were almost appreciated, and the newly caught crabs this autumn began, plus some seasonal side dishes, although they were not very expensive, but they were also elegant.

Chu Yuyi was afraid that she said a lot of good things by the queen's side when she was appreciating the chrysanthemums, and the queen could still think of Sister Yan when she was eating crabs, so she said a few words to her. Sister Yan thought that she had learned a lesson this time, and she answered decently and didn't dare to be careless.

"I heard that your piano skills are good, why don't you play a song for us today?" Playing the piano during the meal was the errand of the musicians in the palace music workshop, and the queen's words were very insulting to Sister Yan'er.

Chu Yuyi immediately said: "Niangniang, she is just a child's family, and there is Guangqu Bozhuyu in front of her, how can she dare to call her little insect carving skill the word 'good'." ”

"It's okay, come here, take the piano." The queen did not mean to refuse at all.

Chu Yuyi gave Sister Yan a look, but Sister Yan couldn't see it, the corners of her mouth were pursed, and her face was heavy.

Such an insult was indeed the first time in her life. Sister Hui sighed lightly, the country is easy to change, the nature is difficult to change, no matter how clever she is, but that temperament can't be changed in the end. Sister Yan has been proud for more than ten years, how can she affirm this low turn.

Chu Yuyi was secretly anxious, thinking about the palace maid getting the piano, but if Sister Yan insisted on refusing, what should be done. Fortunately, the emperor Hulala came with a circle of people to relieve her.

"The queen is so lively here, I walked to the entrance of the garden and heard the sound of laughter inside."

"Long live the emperor, long live, long live." Everyone was a person who had seen the face of heaven, and the emperor suddenly came, and although he was surprised, he quickly walked out of his seat and knelt down to salute.

"Flat." The emperor gestured and walked slowly to the empress and sat down with the support of an old eunuch.

"Son, meet the queen mother and all the mothers."

"Wechen meets the queen and all the mothers."

When the salute was completed, several people brought by the emperor also bowed their heads to the queen

"Let's be flat."

"Queen, I just seem to have heard you talk about happiness?" The Emperor's old voice sounded again

"Yes, the eldest daughter of An Ninghou heard about Shanqin, and the concubine asked her to play a song to listen to, so that you can feast your eyes."

"What does that have to do with fun?"

"Hey, Yu Yi modestly said that her niece might as well be happy."

"Oh? Why don't you give it a try? The emperor smiled slightly, looked at a white-robed young man in the distance, and said

"The minister is willing, but the minister heard that the eldest lady is only twelve years old, but the minister is more than twenty years old, so I am afraid that such a competition is deceitful." The young man folded the fan, his face was handsome and gentle, and he glanced at Sister Yan with a smile in his eyes.

Chu Yuyi was about to speak, wanting to take this opportunity to forget it, but unexpectedly, Sister Yan took a step out and glanced at the man, raised her head arrogantly, and then turned around and bowed her head and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the courtiers are willing to give it a try, and they have long heard of the Guangqu Boyin Rhythm attainments, and they have always admired it. ”

"Ha, this female doll is very fatherly, happy, you can point out." After the emperor finished saying this, the queen over there ordered the palace maids who went to fetch the qin to also present the qin.

Guangqu Bo was elegant, when he stepped into the arranged desk first, his always smiling eyes smiled, looked at the strings and stretched out his fingers to caress twice, but suddenly stopped, everyone looked at him fixedly, but he glanced at Li Guifei, and then bowed to the emperor and said: "Your Majesty, the minister has something to ask for." ”

"You say."

"Today is the Queen's Chrysanthemum Banquet, and the minister wants to play a song "Chrysanthemum Thoughts", but this song really needs to be accompanied by a beautiful dance, and Weichen wants to beg the concubine to dance in harmony."

"This" The emperor looked at Concubine Li with a sad face.

The queen also glanced at Li Guifei, but there was a smile in her eyes, and the smile on her mouth was even more unconcealed: "Your Majesty, the dancing posture of the concubine is also a must in this Beijing, and the music with music must be a superb scene in the world, so why not give it a try." Besides, this time we can't take advantage of this little girl, if we want the song to be paired with dance steps, if we have never practiced, then it will increase the difficulty. ”

"Well, Aifei will give it a try." The emperor nodded and continued to turn his head to Concubine Li.

Li Guifei didn't see half of the insulted look, she still smiled on her face, and nodded her head in agreement.

This "Chrysanthemum Thoughts" is an ancient song written by a down-and-out Xiucai two hundred years ago, expressing his lovesickness for lovers with autumn chrysanthemums. Because it is a mournful voice, the dance danced by Li Guifei also shows her gentle posture to the fullest, and the early part is very well coordinated, gradually bringing everyone present into this endless sorrow. In the middle paragraph, because I think of the scene of the two people in love, they cry like a complaint, both sad and happy, the rhythm is accelerated, and the dance steps are constantly changing, but they still cooperate seamlessly, presenting a picture of love but sadness in front of everyone, and many ladies have begun to wipe their tears. Although Sister Hui has a ruthless love experience, she also feels that her nose is sour, and she is unconsciously brought into the rhythm.

Until the last note fell, the sobbing on the table was still heard.

Then came thunderous applause.

"Good! Good! The song of Aifei and Aiqing is indeed a gluttonous feast, good! The emperor took the lead in applauding, his voice was like a flood, and it was obvious that he was also very excited in his heart.

"Thank you for your praise." Both of them saluted the emperor at the same time.

But Sister Hui noticed that Guangqubo's eyes kept looking at Concubine Li's back, her expression was painful, and she felt a blow in her heart, as if she understood something.

"Sister Yan, it's your turn." The queen looked in Sister Yan'er's direction and reminded.

Sister Yan walked out and sat in front of the piano case, her hands still for a long time.

The sigh gradually rose during the banquet, Sister Hui looked around, and saw Sister Yan lowering her head and not knowing what she was thinking, she sighed in her heart, stubbornly stepped out of the ranks, knelt down and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the courtiers are also willing to follow the example of the concubine Niangniang for her sister and song, and hope that the emperor will approve it." ”

"Oh? Who are you? The emperor looked at Sister Hui'er, and his eyes were even more interesting.

"Back to my father, this daughter, my son knows that she is the daughter of Chu Jinmin, the right envoy of the grain road, and I heard that she danced a hundred flowers dance in her mother's harem last time." The third prince came out of the crowd brought by Emperor Fang Cai and replied.

"Oh, so it is, the queen did praise it, and since this is the case, it is allowed." The Emperor stroked his beard and nodded.

Sister Hui thanked the emperor for her blessings, and turned around to bless the three princes, but when she looked up, she saw a handsome man in a blue robe with a cold face standing behind the right side of the third prince in the crowd, and the man was also looking at her, with an unknown meaning in his eyes, it was Xia Nanjing.

(乐 [yue] is the word of Guangqu Bo, there will be a lot of things happening at the queen Qiu Ju banquet, please listen to Pu Wei slowly)
