Chapter Twenty-Four: Dance
"The temper is really big."
In the silence, the voice of the king of Dongping sounded again, still with a faint smile.
"I've heard that people with great abilities have big tempers, and now it seems that children have big tempers."
These words broke the stagnation in the temple.
The emperor's face moved slightly, and the queen mother and empress also came back to their senses.
"You kid, you're thinking too much." The Queen Mother said, "He doesn't understand this, and he doesn't know that this is an attack on you." ”
Fang Ziyuan finally reacted.
"yes, yes, I don't know." He shouted, "This is something I don't know, I haven't seen any witches, just praise me for who looks good, I mean well, how do I know it's a humiliation for you!" ”
He craned his neck as he spoke.
"What are you coming at me, don't involve the emperor, it's me who humiliates you, don't talk about those who don't."
"yes, we don't know what you're talking about." Princess Xianrong said, "You feel that you have been humiliated, so you sue Fang Ziyuan, how can you beat someone like this?" ”
"You mean, he didn't mean to humiliate me?" Xie Roujia looked at Princess Xianrong.
No, Princess Xianrong also knows a little in her heart, but how can she admit it at this time.
"Of course not." She said.
"That's it, I'm kind, I just think it's nice to praise you, so I didn't humiliate you." Fang Ziyuan also said.
Xie Roujia looked at him.
"Do you know what kind of condition the witch dance is?" She asked.
"How do I know! I'm not a witch! Fang Ziyuan shouted angrily, "I didn't know that you didn't dance for people to see." ”
"Nope. The witch dance descends to the gods, praying for reward, but it is also for people to see, to those who have prayed, wished, and thanked, since you say that you are kind, you are not deliberately humiliating me. Xie Roujia said, looking at Fang Ziyuan, "Then I can dance for you." It's just that. Do you dare to watch? ”
Can you dance, do you dare to watch?
What does this mean?
Everyone in the hall was stunned.
"What do you dare to dance, what do I dare not look at?" Fang Ziyuan said.
"Because if you have malice in your heart, if you have disrespect and want to watch the witch dance, you will be punished." Xie Roujia looked at him and said. "Do you still dare to see it?"
What the hell!
Fang Ziyuan was stunned. scolded my mother in my heart.
What about cheating children?
"Why don't you dare to look at it." Princess Xianrong spoke first. sneered, "It's not uncommon to watch a witch dance in the palace, Zhang Lihua of the Southern Dynasty specializes in witch dance." The workshop is still passed down to this day. ”
Zhang Lihua, the favorite concubine of Empress Chen of the Southern Dynasty, often sang and danced in the name of worshipping the gods, and the emperor liked to see it.
This is to compare the Xie family's witch dance to the harem concubine, which is more excessive than Shicai's joke.
The people in the palace were shocked, and the Queen Mother also changed color.
"Glory, presumptuousness!" The Queen Mother raised her eyebrows and shouted, "Kneel!" ”
"Niangniang, if you want me to kneel for you, I will kneel, if I say something wrong, and kneel to others, I will not kneel!" Princess Hsien Rong said.
"Glory and boldness!" The queen was also anxious, and got up and shouted.
Before Princess Xianrong could speak, Xie Roujia had already turned around and brushed her sleeves.
"Okay, I'll let the princess see today how the Xie family's witch dance is different from Zhang Lihua's witch dance." She said.
"What do you want to prepare?" Princess Xianrong asked, looking at the girl who turned around, "Where?" What do you want for drumming? ”
Xie Roujia glanced back at her.
"You don't need to prepare anything, it's just a dance." She said, raising her hand and clapping her high-five, and flicking her waist.
There was a round of high-five, and the shoulders and waist swayed.
Here we go?
And that's where it begins?
There was no change into gorgeous dance costumes, no drums to accompany them, and no even clearance.
The people in the hall are sitting or standing, there are princesses, there are imperial doctors, there are chamberlains, some bow their heads, some hang their hands, some are in a daze.
In this case, the girl began to dance.
She stomped on the ground, shook her shoulders and turned her waist, and waved her arms to high-five.
There is no harmony of drums, no singing, only crisp high-fives, and the sound of footsteps on the ground.
The noisy whispers gradually subsided, and everyone's eyes fell on this girl, looking stunned.
No matter how you look at this scene, it's a little funny.
"Your sister can dance too? I thought only the eldest lady could jump. ”
Xie Rouhui asked in someone's ear.
"We all know how to dance, we all have to learn, and all the sisters in the family have to learn." Xie Rouhui squeezed out a smile and said.
"And she danced well?" The princess asked, looking at the girls in the middle of the field, the simple shaking of their limbs, the simple slow movement of their feet without any skill, where there was a little bit of dancing.
Xie Rouhui did not speak.
Not only did she dance well, she also danced on March 3, which attracted a vision of wind, rain and thunder.
But isn't this vision because of the three major festivals of March?
and the last time I gave my grandmother, there were all requests and requests, witch songs, honor guards, drum music, and invitations to the gods.
But now there is nothing but dance, so what can we do if there is only dance?
In Bashu, those people can go crazy just because you have the surname Xie, but here these people don't.
What was she trying to do?
Crazy? Angry? What does this jump out of?
Princess Xianrong also came back from her stunned and looked at the girl beating in front of her.
"It's pathetic." She scoffed.
Fang Ziyuan chuckled.
"It's so ugly to dance, I wouldn't have asked if I knew it." He said.
There were also a few young princesses who simply smiled and clapped their hands, learning Xie Roujia's movements.
A smile appeared on the mouth of the queen sitting on the top seat.
"This little girl is really grumpy." She said, "Here we go, mother, let these people stay out of the way, and at least make room for her to dance." ”
The Queen Mother hummed and shook her head a little helplessly before she opened her mouth. The king of Dongping on the other side spoke.
"No, mother, the little girl will clear the field by herself." He said with a smile.
Clearing the field yourself?
The Queen Mother and the Queen looked over and saw that the girl was walking backwards step by step, and several little princesses in front of her followed suit.
The little princesses smiled and followed the girl's spin, but the next moment they saw the girl on the other side, shuttling between the two chamberlains, swinging left and right, and the attendants moved with her swings.
The footsteps were stepped on, and the applause paused. Run and jump. In the blink of an eye, the hall was empty.
"It's not that everyone is blind, so you don't need to speak, you will naturally make way for her." The queen said, "Only Ziyuan and Xianrong are still angry." ”
Fang Ziyuan and Princess Xianrong were still standing in place. There doesn't seem to be any intention of backing away.
Xie Roujia staggered. Step by step, he walked towards them.
Isn't it just a song? I've seen a lot of this dance.
Fang Ziyuan said in his heart, and she didn't dance well.
Isn't it pretty?
The girl in front of her was swaying, her eyebrows and eyes were like silk.
No......
Fang Ziyuan was stunned.
Pretty. Pretty.
The girl's arms swayed, covering half of her face, and she stepped back step by step, swaying left and right, revealing a pretty smile.
Fang Ziyuan also laughed.
What's funny, Princess Xianrong looked at Fang Ziyuan and smiled, snorted, and looked at the girl in front of her, the girl's footsteps paused, and she seemed to be frightened by her.
Princess Hsien Rong raised her head and straightened her back, glaring at her.
The girl's footsteps slowly rose again, one by one, the same at the same time, her hands were exchanging blows from side to side, and her expression gradually became solemn.
The soil returns to the soil, the water returns to the gully, the insects do not work, and the grass and trees have a lot.
Wu came to Nanshan, the ancient gods, now I travel, and retreat and avoid.
The arms rotated, the waist rotated together, the corners of the skirt flew, and the palace seemed to be surging, and Princess Xianrong only felt that the person in front of her was suddenly hanging in the air.
The wind opens the way, the thunder roars, the beast is the protector, and the ghost is the slave.
Step by step, step by step, kick and sing, pause.
Withdraw! Withdraw! Withdraw!
Princess Xianrong breathed rapidly, clenched her hands tightly, only to feel the wind and thunder, and her vision became dim, and it seemed that the mountains were black and oppressive, and there were dark clouds circling in the mountains.
A thunder and a drum in her ears struck her heart.
Kneel! Kneel! Kneel!
There seemed to be a mountain falling in front of her, and Princess Xianrong let out a low cry, her whole body was numb, and she knelt down.
This popping sound made Fang Ziyuan shudder, and he looked up to see that the beauty of Shicai had disappeared, and was replaced by a giant.
Fang Ziyuan's eyes widened, looking at the big man in front of him.
He lifted his feet and landed.
The earth shakes and the mountains shake.
Lift your feet and drop your steps.
The earth shakes and the mountains shake.
What's going on? What is it?
Fang Ziyuan wanted to shout, but the giant in front of him stared at him with big eyes like copper bells and opened his mouth at him.
Huh!
A sound rolled down in my ears, like thunder, and it seemed to be singing.
Yes, what a sound.
It's not a song, it's a scolding, I can't hear what I'm drinking, I only hear a shout that is higher than a shout.
Huh! Huh! Huh!
With this sound, countless wooden nails in front of him came like rain.
Fang Ziyuan trembled all over, wanting to shout and escape, but he couldn't move.
Poof.
Xie Rouhui bit the tip of her tongue, and the sharp pain made her wake up, and blood oozed from the corners of her mouth.
The illusion disappeared in front of her, and there was only one girl in front of her who was kicking and singing.
Girls leap on one foot, or spin and flutter, their clothes fluttering.
The princesses around were still smiling and grinning, clapping their hands, or shaking their heads, scattered around the inner chamberlain, or watching the dance blankly, or bowing their heads to serve the princesses around them.
On the stage, the Queen Mother and the Queen even looked tired on their faces, as if they were bored with the dance.
Xie Rouhui's gaze fell on Princess Xianrong and Fang Ziyuan in the field, they were still standing dumbfounded, as if they were no different from Fang Cai.
But Xie Rouhui knew that they were no longer the same.
They have been dementored.
Xie Rouhui's gaze slowly looked at the dancing girl, and at just one glance, she felt that countless eyes shot instantly.
Can't look at it, can't see it.
Xie Rouhui bit her tongue and recited the scriptures wildly in her heart.
Yes! It's He! This is what Mother said!
Ha Dance! It's a dance!
Angry words, nailed into human sin, unstoppable.
