Chapter 693: Hundred Flowers Feast
This matter between Liu Yanzi and Chu Dingwu, Ruoyun didn't know.
She just felt that from the next day, Liu Yanzi seemed to be a little absent-minded, that is, when she was rehearsing dance skills, she would actually dance the wrong move.
This should not be the case for someone as skilled as Liu Yanzi.
Ruoyun felt guilty in her heart, thinking that her victory had hit Liu Yanzi too hard, so she tried every means to make her happy, and told some stories to relieve her, but it seemed to be a little useless.
Ruoyun had no choice but to go to Chu Dingwu and ask him what happened after that day.
found that Chu Dingwu, like Liu Yanzi, had some thoughts, and as soon as Ruoyun asked about the events of that day, Chu Dingwu showed a sense of nervousness and panic that he had done before, which Ruoyun had never found in a resolute young man like Chu Dingwu.
Therefore, after Ruoyun judged that day, something must have happened between Liu Yanzi and Chu Dingwu!
After knowing this, Ruoyun breathed a sigh of relief, as long as it wasn't because of her! ――
Soon it was time for the Hundred Flowers Banquet, and Liu Yanzi seemed to be back to normal after a few days of disappointment.
It's just that Xia Fangtong hasn't appeared in class for the past few days, but Ruoyun heard that she was actually fine, probably because she felt ashamed of what happened that day, and was ashamed to come forward.
The dance that everyone lined up was called the Flying Fairy Dance, and Ruoyun, as the lead dancer, was the most dazzling fairy among them.
Mama Jiang found inspiration from Ruoyun's dance that day, and actually ordered someone to follow the simple tree qin made by Ruoyun that day. I also made a jumping piano similar to a round drum.
It's just that this "drum" does not have a drum surface, and it is also tied with a lot of elastic strings, and the principle of hollowing out is made underneath, so that the sound of this piano is better and louder.
The Hundred Flowers Banquet was set at noon, but this morning, the whole Show Girl Workshop was busy.
This time to participate in the banquet, everyone still has to wear the same clothes, but in order to make themselves more prominent, everyone can only make a fuss about the details.
Or wear sober yet delicate jewelry. Or a little more sophisticated in makeup. or make some small changes in some inconspicuous places on the clothes, hoping to leave a good impression in front of the emperor and the queen.
Everyone was taken by Mama Jiang to the garden where the Hundred Flowers Banquet was held about an hour in advance.
Fortunately, the weather is not hot, the spring breeze in the garden is pleasant, and all kinds of flowers are blooming just right. Although everyone did not dare to move. But take a look at the scenery in this garden from the seat. Whispering to the person next to him is also quite pleasing to the eye.
But this is Ruoyun's feeling, and some show girls obviously don't think so. From their worthy backs and closed lips, you can see the tension in their hearts at this time.
At noon, a shrill singing voice pierced in the distance.
"The emperor has arrived!"
"The queen has arrived!"
"Ladies and concubines have arrived!"
"Princes have arrived!"
"Princesses here!" ……
One after another reached everyone's ears, and everyone was shocked, they didn't expect the emperor to really come.
Everyone was all clean, stood up respectfully, and bowed in unison!
When I was young, I heard a sound of footsteps, and then there was the sound of ringing bells, and it was a lot of people walking on the red carpet in the middle.
The show girls didn't dare to look up, they could only watch some gorgeous shoes pass by in front of their eyes, men's shoes and women's shoes, all of which were exquisite and gorgeous.
There was another sound of sitting down, and then everyone heard an elegant female voice say, "Get up!" ”
"Emperor Xie, Queen Xie!" Although the female voice did not say who she was, it must be the queen mother who can speak at this time.
Everyone stood up, and then they saw the emperor and queen sitting on the throne.
The queen was wearing a purple palace dress, not wearing the queen's big dress, while the emperor was wearing a crescent white civilian dress, only a bright yellow belt around his waist showed his identity as the Ninety-Five!
It seems that these two people are still very casual when they come to participate in such an occasion, and the concubines on the side are also dressed up in the style of Shangfeng, and they are all more casual, but they should be the only ones who are nervous!
The emperor and the queen have seen it, even most of the concubines, princes, and princesses present She has also dealt with, but she has never seen the beautiful woman in royal blue palace dress who sits first under the queen.
But seeing that her face was a little pale, she would cover her mouth with a handkerchief and cough lightly from time to time, thinking that she was the lady who was not in good health and lived in a simple place all day long.
It seems that this lady concubine also came to such an occasion for King Ping, after all, this year is also the period for King Ping to choose a concubine, and if you want to come to Concubine Ping, a mother, she also wants to take a good look at this batch of show girls.
I didn't want Ruoyun to observe this concubine, but she happened to meet the concubine, and it turned out that Concubine Shu also looked at her.
Secretly observing others but being seen by others, Ruoyun was a little embarrassed and didn't know what to do, but she didn't want this concubine to nod at her slightly, and smiled lightly, with some playfulness and kindness in her smile.
Ruoyun couldn't help but smile at Concubine Shu, thinking that she was worthy of being the biological mother of King Ping, and she could give birth to King Ping, a person like a fairy, although her biological mother was not in good health, but this person was able to show this playful smile at her age, as well as this elegant and quiet temperament, it really made people feel like a spring breeze!
Ruoyun was thinking about it, but suddenly heard an exclamation not far behind him, and turned his head to find that someone had fainted.
And the person who fainted was none other than the girl surnamed Tian who often targeted Ruoyun some time ago!
Ruoyun couldn't cry or laugh, this Tian girl really couldn't get on the stage, she put some thought into the places where she shouldn't have bothered, but on such a critical occasion, she was so frightened and fainted when she saw the emperor and queen, she was really a dou who couldn't help up!
Of course, the queen who was seated also saw this scene. Although they are complacent because of their noble temperament, they can make others faint in fear, but most of them still feel that this girl is too childish and can't be on the stage.
Although the queen was not worried in her heart, she did not show it on her face, she tried her best to show more concern and said: "It seems that this girl is not feeling well, someone is here." Hurry up and go down to see the Imperial Doctor! ”
Don't wait for the queen's words to fall. Then they came up and carried her away.
The show girls looked at the Tian girl who was carried away, and there were worried looks, but most of them were disdainful and disdainful, just this bit of courage. I even dared to come to the draft. It's a shame. Even with it, they lost the face of their group of show girls.
Although the queen didn't say anything, everyone knew that the draft road of this Tian girl was probably going to end here.
But maybe that's a good thing for her. After all, although it was a bit embarrassing to go back like this, fortunately, she didn't cause trouble, so she wouldn't implicate the family-
The fainting of this Tian girl is just a small episode, and this banquet will not change because of her little person, and it will still be carried out.
The emperor only said two words and then said no more, after all, the queen is more suitable to be the leader on such an occasion.
What followed was the queen's encouragement and admonition, and everyone listened respectfully.
Then the concubines and princesses of each palace said some funny things, or chatted with one or two familiar show girls.
Of course, Ruoyun was also symbolically called up and asked, but because there was no mother in her palace, of course, it was not as good as Xia Fangtong and Liu Yanzi and others who were asked.
After the banquet officially began, it was time for Ruoyun and them to officially dance.
Ruoyun knew that it was not a good thing for everyone to dance with their heads, because when others were eating and drinking, they were going to dance hungry, if it weren't for Chu Ziheng, she really didn't want to do such a thankless thing.
After all, these eighteen show girls have become the focus of attention of the entire show girls since they were selected, and people are staring at them all the time, trying to find some faults among them, so that Mama Jiang can be replaced.
The work of these eighteen people to compete for dancing is simpler, and whether they can keep their position depends on their ability.
At this time, the eighteen of them are no longer the original eighteen, and three of them have been replaced.
One was a sprained foot while dancing, and the other was a cold, and he was afraid that he would get sick and give the nobles, so he was not allowed to come to the banquet today.
The last one was because he made a mistake, but he didn't come back when the courtyard gate was locked, and he was punished by Mama Jiang.
Whether the situation of these people is man-made or accidental, Ruoyun doesn't want to pay attention to it, the draft is like this, and she already knew it before she entered the palace.
I remember when I watched those palace fighting dramas in my previous life, there were many homicides during those drafts, compared to them now, these girls are a lot kinder, at least they won't kill people ruthlessly!
The music started, and the eighteen people who had been training urgently for several days finally came on the stage, and for this performance, how much thought did the women of the entire show girl workshop take!
Everyone looked at these eighteen people, envious, jealous and hateful, but it did not affect their performance.
After practicing for so long, everyone's dance steps have been proficient, especially when Ruoyun, who was wearing a water-green tunic light gauze dress, danced on the piano, everyone seemed to hear the fairy music coming from the sky, lingering around Ruoyun's side.
Her dances are not dancing and jumping, but those fairy music are supporting her to dance.
At the end of the dance, of course, it also received more praise and applause, and this time Ruoyun's dance was more exciting than then because he had time to prepare.
When Ruoyun finished dancing thanks, he saw the look of appreciation in the emperor's eyes, the look of shock in the queen's eyes, and the look of glory and love in Chu Ziheng's eyes.
It's just that Ruoyun didn't notice the complicated look in King Ping's eyes, as well as King Zhao's unconvinced and unwilling look.
may be unwilling in the eyes of King Zhao because he can't get Ruoyun, but he thinks that her Allure girl will definitely dance better than this Anyang County Lord!
"The county lord of Anyang is worthy of being born beautiful, and his dancing posture is outstanding, which opens my eyes!" The queen gently stroked her palm and smiled.
"The queen has won the award, and Ruoyun has also taken advantage of the beauty of this piano dance!" Ruoyun said modestly.
"Oh, I'm wondering what you're dancing in Anyang, it turns out that this thing is called a piano jumper, but it's extremely exquisite, I don't know where it came from?" The emperor was also surprised.
"Back to the emperor, it's Ruoyun's occasional game, it's not worth mentioning, it's just a gadget!" Ruoyun said.
"I often hear that your leisurely residence will produce some novel things, this time I see this thing, I know where these wonderful things come from, Anyang is really smart, there is a father's style!" The emperor praised.
The emperor's words in front, Ruoyun sounded very good, but the back said that she had the style of a father, Ruoyun was a little uncomfortable when she listened, who wants to be like her father!
But listening to what the emperor said, her cheap father should have been quite smart when he was young, but he didn't know why he was so confused about the major events of his life and children.
"The emperor praised it falsely, those things are just small paths and entertainment for leisurely, and it is not the power of Ruoyun alone, it is a collection of things that can only be studied by many wise people in leisurely residence!" Ruoyun said.
"Good, no credit, no pride, kindness!" Anyway, the emperor saw how good Ruoyun was, and Ruoyun said a word that the emperor praised.
Chu Ziheng, who praised him, couldn't close his mouth with joy, and the queen and Xia Fangtong who praised him were depressed and angry.
Finally, the queen interrupted the conversation between the emperor and Ruoyun, and said: "Your Majesty, according to the previous rules, this county lord of Anyang, as the lead dancer this time, can make a request or a thing!" ”
Many show girls didn't know about this, and when they heard the queen's words, they were all shocked, and they looked at Ruoyun with great envy.
The emperor also laughed and said: "Yes, yes, there is indeed such a thing, Anyang, if you have any requirements, just mention it, I should be satisfied!" ”
The emperor said this, and everyone looked at Ruoyun with bated breath, wondering what kind of request she would make, knowing that the emperor personally promised that it was a great thing.
Especially Xia Fangtong and Liu Yanzi both stared at Ruoyun with good eyes, and the handkerchief in Xia Fangtong's hand under the table was tightly twisted in the palm of his hand.
Ruoyun smiled slightly: "Back to the emperor, Ruoyun has always heard that the emperor has been obsessed with calligraphy since he was a child, and he has practiced hard every year in winter and summer. ”
The emperor laughed when he heard this, he was indeed obsessed with calligraphy in his life, and he also practiced hard, and it was indeed as Ruoyun said that calligraphy attainments were extraordinary.
But if there is no one to compare, it is a bit exaggerated, the so-called people outside the world have heavens, and some hidden Confucianism and powerful Mobao can also be compared with the emperor.
But who doesn't like to listen to good and obedient words, especially the emperor's proudest thing, hearing Ruoyun praise him like this, he thought he was extremely happy, and agreed in one bite. (To be continued......)
