Stepping into the Taihe Palace, which held the night banquet, the courtiers who often participated in the night banquet felt a little novel, and the layout in the Taihe Hall was still luxurious and valuable, but it was slightly different in details.
For example, the roof of the carved beams and painted buildings is rolled with a bunch of curtains that cannot be seen, and the placement of palace lamps on both sides is also different from the past.
Of course, the emperor's throne still reigns high.
The attentive courtiers gathered together and quietly discussed, "The layout of the Taihe Hall is said to be in accordance with Princess Hezhen's construction. ”
A well-informed person took the initiative to break the sky, "It is said that a lot of fireworks have been placed in the palace recently, and Princess Hezhen has invited all the fireworks kings out of the mountain." ”
No one can guess what Gong Hezhen is going to do, although he didn't say it on the surface, but the matter of Princess Hezhen's red and swollen ankles due to allergies has been spread in private, and many people are able to win because of this.
As the Ah Jiu who operates this qiē, because Princess Hezhen's mysterious actions are the most eye-catching.
Ah Jiu had already obediently sat in the seat where he should be sitting, ignoring the scrutiny of the people around him.
"Sister Ah Jiu, I'm really convinced of you."
Miss Zhuge sat beside Ah Jiu and said with a smile: "With so many people looking at you, you can still sit firmly on Mount Tai, just for your calmness, I should really press another thousand taels and Princess Zhen to win." ”
Ah Jiu's eyes turned, and the sparkling waves were particularly moving, like a fairy and a goddess, "Many of them think that I am playing tricks, and I am strong on the outside." ”
She looked at Han Qingya and her entourage, who were making final preparations, and happened to meet Han Qingya's gaze, Ah Jiu smiled sweetly at her, and greeted Han Qingya generously. Han Qingya was stunned for a moment, then turned her head indignantly, and felt that she had fallen behind in front of Ah Jiu.
"Miss Han guards against arrogance and rashness. Competitions are always won by dance skills. ”
Cai everyone gave final guidance to the disciples who accompanied the dance, and at the same time comforted Han Qingya. "Miss Mo Jiu is probably disturbing you."
Han Qingya's breathing was a little heavy, and she obviously couldn't calm down.
Everyone Cai sighed slightly, but continued to encourage Han Qingya, "As long as you can play to the level of training, it is not difficult to win against Her Royal Highness Princess Hezhen." Dancers always belong to the stage, and external forces cannot determine the victory or defeat. ”
Han Qingya slowly closed her eyes and nodded, "I won't lose!" ”
I can't afford to lose either!
The Manchu Dynasty was civil and military, honorable. When the women gathered in the Taihe Palace, the voice of the eunuch came from outside, "Your Majesty has arrived." ”
Everyone knelt on their knees when they heard this, and the mountain shouted long live.
The Shenwu Emperor Long Xiang, who was dressed in a dragon robe, walked up to the high dragon chair, and after sitting down, his hands were raised in the void, "Flat." ”
After the important minister got up, he found that the west chamber of the dragon seat was full of high-grade palace concubines in the harem, and the queen was sitting next to Emperor Shenwu, even though the queen was not favored because of her declining age. As long as the crown prince is still there, no one dares to ignore the queen.
"Your Majesty, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess has arrived."
"Xuan."
Emperor Shenwu laughed heartily. Her beard trembled, and the eldest princess of the town country slowly walked into the Taihe Palace, and since the last banquet, the eldest princess appeared in front of the courtiers again.
After the eldest princess saluted, she was arranged by Emperor Shenwu to be by her side.
Emperor Shenwu first looked at his imperial sister, and then looked at Jiang Shoufu, who was sitting at the head of the courtiers, with a smile, "Jiang Aiqing, who are you more optimistic about this competition?" ”
Jiang Shoufu is elegant and calm. Pulling his beard, he smiled and said, "Your Majesty asked knowingly, since she is the granddaughter of the minister." Even if others are not optimistic about her, the minister also supports Her Royal Highness Princess Hezhen. ”
Emperor Shenwu has a very interesting problem. is a person who likes to be handsome, even if he is not judged by his appearance, but the minister he values and entrusts him with important responsibilities is handsome and elegant, among which the king of the mountain is the most.
"Where's the royal sister?"
"I like Ah Jiu a lot."
The princess of the town country glanced at Jiang Shoufu with a faint slanted glance, "It has nothing to do with Shoufu on the other side." ”
"Haha." Emperor Shenwu smiled very heartily, "You finally have the same opinion one day, okay, this competition is excellent." ”
The people in the Taihe Hall all smiled with Emperor Shenwu, but their eyes flashed slightly, carefully analyzing the meaning of Emperor Shenwu's words, whether Emperor Shenwu was sincere or false...... Ah Jiu sighed slightly, "The emperor is so tired." ”
Every word is broken apart and carefully analyzed.
Zhuge asked in a low voice: "Sister Ah Jiu thinks that His Majesty is sincere?" ”
After all, the conflict between the eldest princess and Jiang Shoufu has been going on for a long time, and the two have never had the same opinions, and their 'friendship' is not known to everyone, even if they do, friendship is not a decisive factor in national affairs and positions.
"It's just a competition, but it's just a little girl's competition."
Ah Jiu's meaning, whether Emperor Shenwu is sincere or not, is it so important? Only the brothers and sisters of the Han family regard the competition as a lifesaver, and what can really make the Han family rise is not Han Qingya's victory.
This point was also figured out by Ah Jiu two days ago, but even so, Ah Jiu didn't want to lose.
"Let's get started."
After Emperor Shenwu laughed, he said, "Han Qingya dances first. ”
"Yes."
Everyone's attention focused on Han Qingya in the middle, and the gorgeous dance skirt made Han Qingya panic like a fairy concubine, looking at all living beings, and the fairy posture was beautiful.
Han Qingya had a faint smile on her lips, and blessed Emperor Shenwu, "May the empire be eternal and your majesty will live forever." ”
Emperor Shenwu nodded happily, "Let me see how you have been preparing for a long time." ”
First there was a fierce drum beat, followed by the sound of a piano that rippled like mountains and water.
Han Qingya's bewitching body danced and rotated with the music, and the wide skirt was like a blooming flower, slowly blooming layer by layer, and the slender waist that was tightly outlined was flexible to the extreme, rotating at a surprising angle.
With the accompanying dances and music, Han Qingya's performance was perfect, which deeply attracted the attention of everyone present.
Cai everyone nodded while watching, this dance represents the highest level of Han Qingya, that is, when she is in the best condition, Han Qingya may not be able to dance so well, even if she dances in person. That's it.
The cold Qingya who fought against the water amazed everyone, fully showing the girl's youth and enchantment until the end of the music. Everyone hadn't woken up from her graceful dancing until Emperor Shenwu applauded for the first time. The crowd woke up and applauded.
Han Qingya's face is slightly red, drenched in sweat, and being fanatically sought after in front of her means that she has succeeded!
She thanked Emperor Shenwu again, and looked at Ah Jiu proudly, but Ah Jiu, who was originally in the position, was nowhere to be seen, Han Qingya frowned slightly, could it be that Ah Jiu dared to risk the world's disapproval to replace Princess Hezhen?
If Ah Jiu dares to dance instead of Princess Hezhen. Han Qingya must make the whole world know about it, so that the world can see through Ah Jiu's hypocrisy.
"Princess Hezhen, hold steady."
Ah Jiu straightened the jade pendant of Princess Hezhen's skirt, "Seven points of dancing, three points of stage effect." If you don't get hurt, your dancing posture is the same as that of Miss Han, and even if you have a leg injury, she has seven points of skill. ”
Wan Zongqi had already pricked the princess's golden acupuncture point one step ahead, and Princess Hezhen drank the auxiliary decoction, and now even if she was standing, she couldn't feel the pain in her feet.
"Win or lose. I am grateful to Sister Ah Jiu. ”
Princess Hezhen remembered Ah Jiu's hard work for herself, and took the initiative to shake her arm, and Ah Jiu shook it back with a smile. "I'm with the princess."
When Princess Hezhen was preparing, the queen praised Han Qingya's dancing posture, and Emperor Shenwu listened with a smile, and said: "She is good, the queen remembers to reward Li Concubine on my behalf for a while." ”
"Thank you."
Concubine Li got up from the palace concubines and thanked Emperor Shenwu, "Thank you to the queen, don't reward the concubines, be elegant and competent." Living up to His Majesty, the concubines are happier than any reward. ”
"Meritorious reward. There are penalties. Emperor Shenwu's eyes shone slightly, and he asked, "What does Concubine Li want?" You can say it with me. ”
"The outcome is undecided, and His Majesty's reward is a little early."
The eldest princess slowly put down the wine glass and said lazily, "Brother Huang, you are still too anxious. ”
Concubine Li Han lowered her head and hid her resentment towards the eldest princess, "Her Royal Highness the eldest princess is right. ”
Eccentricity...... She used to please the eldest princess like that, but now she is useless and thrown away by the eldest princess like a rag, doesn't she value the Jiang family to look at Ah Jiu differently?
Emperor Shenwu shook his head and sighed, "The imperial sister's heart is still too soft, and she is always misunderstood. ”
He knew that the eldest princess was helping the Han clan to relieve the siege, but the Han clan regarded the eldest princess's kindness as bad intentions.
"Your Majesty, why bother them?"
The eldest princess didn't care, "Even if they are selfish, they also came with His Majesty, and it is inevitable to compete for favor, who let you admit so many women into the palace?" ”
"Good, good, good." Emperor Shenwu waved his hand again and again, "I might as well be as dedicated as my brother-in-law, and don't mention these things." ”
Emperor Shenwu saw Ah Jiu who appeared again, this girl is really good, the water is very smart, I am afraid that it will be more charming in a few years, if he is ten years younger, he must admit Ah Jiu into the palace, if Ah Jiu is not Jiang Shoufu's granddaughter, the eldest princess values the lady, even if he is now sixty years old, he will still get Ah Jiu into the palace.
As Emperor Shenwu, he can force Ah Jiu to enter the palace, but it is morally untenable, and he doesn't want to be scolded as a faint monarch, woman...... The young concubines in the harem are enough for him to enjoy.
With a bang, the palace lights of the Taihe Hall went out almost at the same time, and it was pitch black in front of everyone's eyes, Emperor Shenwu clenched his fists, his expression was solemn, there were assassins?
Immediately after that, the curtain that fell from the sky fell, and just when everyone was at a loss and talking, the curtain suddenly lit up, and a bewitching figure was printed on the curtain.
The inside is bright, the outside is dim, and the shadows on the curtain are like fairies descending from the night sky into the mortal world, ethereal and dreamy.
The mysterious beauty of holding the pipa and half-covering her face is intriguing, and even if everyone knows the appearance of Princess Hezhen, they also want to see the beauty in the curtain at this time.
"A woman with a secret is the most attractive." Ah Jiu chuckled, "No one can refuse the mysterious princess, the first plan is to take the lead." ”
The sound of the bamboo flute sounded, and the figure on the curtain moved a little step, although it was only a small step, but the figure was clearer on the eight curtains of the eight pieces of cicada wings and white yarn surrounding the city, and the figure was exquisitely curved.
Compared with Fang Cai's music, the music of Princess Zhen's dancing is light and soothing, like a clear spring flowing slowly, Princess Zhen's dance is not as elegant as Han Qingya, and the strength is not strong, with the light music, the dance is very slow, but the figure on the curtain does not seem to be staggering, but like a fairy dancing lightly on the top of the mountains.
When the music is halfway through, five or six pairs of arms suddenly appear behind the figure, making various movements along with the music.
"Guanyin Bodhisattva?!"
"Heavens, the Bodhisattva is manifested."
"How did Her Highness do it?"
"I don't believe it, and I don't believe it when I die."
Needless to say, everyone was deeply shocked by this spectacle.
Emperor Shenwu's eyes widened, "It turns out that you don't need to dance or spin, you can still dance so well." ”
Han Qingya's complexion changed again and again, as white as paper, her eyes were red, and she lost...... Cai didn't care about Han Qingya, and carefully enjoyed the rare dance, "It's amazing." ”
The aftermath of the music was aimed, the curtain fell from the sky, and Princess Hezhen's body gradually rose, falling and rising, and the stark contrast made Princess Hezhen concentrate everyone's attention.
When Princess Hezhen rose to the highest place, the doors and windows of the Taihe Hall were all open, fireworks rose to the sky, and colorful light came in, illuminating Princess Hezhen like a light curtain.
Seeing everyone's obsessed look, Ah Jiu slowly retreated to the corner, and let out a long breath, finally living up to Princess Hezhen's trust.
