Chapter 365: Li Qing'an's Paintings
The queen and the emperor can be regarded as the same kind of people, they are both selfish people, the queen knows the taboo in the emperor's heart, isn't the former queen a Tang twilight person, and the ending of the former queen can be said to be miserable, although Ning Jingfei can be regarded as obedient, but she has always been born in Tang Dusk, this point will always be a thorn in the emperor's heart, no matter how favored Ning Jingfei is, that thorn will never be pulled out in the emperor's heart.
Queen Guo's eyes can't tolerate people, she can't get face in front of the queen, and she won't let Concubine Ning Jing feel better, this handle sent to the door, no need to use it in vain, anyway, even she herself admits homesickness, then she will make this fire more prosperous, don't think she doesn't know the careful thoughts in the heart of Concubine Ning Jing's slut, she Guo Xianglan will always be the queen, and the prince will always be the prince, Concubine Ning Jing's little careful thinking in her heart is waiting for the next life.
"The queen mother misunderstood the concubine, since the concubine married to the Jin country, the Jin country is naturally the concubine's home country, the country is difficult to find, twenty years have passed, the concubine's body has even the appearance of Yong'an City has been blurred, and there are not even many memories left." Concubine Ning Jing explained that she had been fighting with the queen for decades, and there was no one in the world who knew the queen better than herself.
The sky is getting darker, and the spring banquet is arranged in the Zhenyu Palace every year. The palace is close to the imperial garden, not far from the queen mother's bedroom, the palace banquet is about to begin, the queen mother and the emperor moved to the palace.
The Empress Dowager left July by her side, and every time she stayed with the Empress Dowager in the past was the eldest princess of Shaoyang, but this time it was replaced by Princess Xiaoyang, and the eldest princess of Shaoyang went to the case originally prepared for Princess Xiaoyang, everyone is a smart person, and naturally knows the significance of the Empress Dowager's move.
"The ministers (courtiers) visit the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager is blessed with Jin'an, long live the emperor, long live the emperor." Before the palace banquet began, the ministers began to bow down to the Empress Dowager and the Emperor.
At the beginning of the palace banquet, the soft and boneless, dazzling beauties sang and danced lightly, the graceful dancing posture and tactful music turned around in the whole palace, the palace danced the snow dance, the beauties were dressed in plain white dance clothes, the white fox fur like snowflakes was inserted in the hair, and the slender and white hands and feet were wrapped around the fox white fox bracelet with bells, and the light posture danced.
"Your Majesty, today's monarchs and ministers are suitable, and the concubines in the palace have heard that the noble daughters of all the lords are beautiful and talented, and they are all young girls in their twenties, and it is boring to sit down, so it is better to let the nobles play the piano and make poems, what does the emperor think?" Today's Spring Banquet is a large-scale blind date banquet, and it is the top priority to let the ladies show their talents.
After listening to the queen's proposal, Leng Yang naturally agreed: "Okay, the queen's proposal is very good, but it is boring to write the right poem, so I will take this pearl white jade chicken as the color head and give it to the first name, I don't know which pearl of the Aiqing family can dominate." ”
The emperor has pointed out the color head, and the queen followed with an elegant pluck of a pearl and jasper step shake and said: "Since the emperor has a color head, the palace can not lag behind, the palace will take this step as the color head, the palace looks up, all the famous ladies are dignified and demure, gentle and supple, and the palace is also looking forward to the pearl of Aiqing's palm to win the first place!" ”
The emperor and the queen both said that the concubines in the harem naturally had to follow the steps of the emperor and the queen, and even the queen mother and the queen mother also found it interesting and brilliant.
The first girl on the stage was dressed in a pea-green pleated and butterfly skirt, the girl was about fifteen or sixteen years old, her skin was like condensation, her fresh and elegant face was slightly immature, and the black green silk hung down on the waist of the slender Yingying, dancing with light steps, her eyes were as clear and clear as a clear spring, and the smile on the corner of her lips was tranquil and natural.
Walking to the center of the palace, Ying Ying bowed: "Li Qing'an, the granddaughter of the imperial doctor, asked the queen mother, the queen mother, the emperor, and the queen mother, the courtiers are not talented, only the paintings in the qin, chess, calligraphy and painting can be eye-catching, and the courtiers will draw a picture!" ”
In fact, she didn't like this so-called talent show at all, she knew what she was going to the palace for the banquet today, she had already thought about pretending to be sick at home, but when she went out, she was forcibly pulled to the dresser by her mother to dress up carefully, no matter how she begged and didn't want to, her mother still brought her into the palace.
"Okay, if it's really a tiger father without a dog, the granddaughter of Li Aiqing's family is so courageous, come and prepare pen, ink, paper, inkstone and other painting tools for the girl of the Li family." Emperor Long Yan Dayue praised Han Su, the imperial historian, and motioned for him to raise a good daughter.
The speed of the people in the palace is very fast, the eyes of the girls of the Li family who got the painting tools are different, the ink-like deep cashew nut eyes are flashing with starlight, so focused that they have completely forgotten where they are, and the whole mind falls on the rice paper, the slender and white jade hand is like a beautiful jade hand tightly and gently pinching the brush, only to see the tip of the pen on the rice paper flowing smoothly, about a tea time, there is a woman on the rice paper who is captivating the country and the city, and is smart and free.
"The courtiers are ugly, when the courtiers started writing, there was only the moment when they first saw Princess Xiaoyang in their minds, and they painted a portrait of the princess without the permission of Princess Xiaoyang, and the courtiers asked Princess Xiaoyang to forgive her sins." The girl of the Li family was slightly blessed in the direction of Xiao Yang, and she somehow painted such a picture by herself.
Because when she was at home, her mother knew that she had persuaded her for a long time with emotion and reason, and when she arrived in the palace, she was about to have a banquet, so the mother and daughter did not go to the queen mother's bedroom to ask for peace, and went directly to the Zhenyu Palace. When I was painting, my mind was blank, and only Princess Xiaoyang was left with a green silk hanging waist and a slight movement of her skirt.
July Yingying smiled: "Xiao Yang can enter Miss Li's painting, it is Xiao Yang's luck, Xiao Yang has a reluctant request, Miss Li's wonderful hand Danqing, Xiao Yang painted a little aura, this is the first time Xiao Yang in Jin Guo someone painted for Xiao Yang, I don't know if a painting Miss Li can give to Xiao Yang, Xiao Yang must treasure it." ”
When I saw this painting, I unconsciously remembered Yang Liuyu and Zhang Moyu, in the twilight of the Tang Dynasty, the two of them always loved to paint for themselves anytime and anywhere, Qingyuetai There was a box in her dowry full of Yang Liuyu and Zhang Moyu's paintings in those years, I didn't expect that there would be a gentle and calm woman in Jin Guo who painted herself.
"It's an honor." Even if she is reluctant, Princess Xiaoyang has spoken, Li Qingan will not stubbornly want to keep it, it is Princess Xiaoyang who paints it, and it is most appropriate for this painting to be handed over to Princess Xiaoyang.
The corner of the silent cold twilight mouth raised a sneer, she said that this was her first painting after arriving in Jin Guo, how could she know how many portraits of her were painted every night when she missed her to the bone, her smile, her movement, her bits and pieces, were all in his own paintings, and whenever he sprinkled his thoughts about her on rice paper, his heart became soft.
"Okay, the painting is good, the mourning family looks like Xiao Yang has walked into the painting, the mourning family also likes to paint, Lan Zhi, give the mourning family's string of Anhua Shitai's enlightened Bodhi children to the Li family girl, not arrogant or impatient, demure and docile, the mourning family likes this child." The Empress Dowager praised when she saw the painting, and looked at Li Qing'an's eyes with appreciation.
Li Qing'an never thought that he could get the reward of the nobles, and after being stunned for a moment, he quickly knelt down and thanked him: "The courtiers thank the Empress Dowager for her gift." ”
With the beginning of the Li family's Qing'an, the nobles of each family began to fight openly and secretly in a strange atmosphere, nothing more than playing the piano and composing poems, or dancing and painting, in the eyes of July, they were all very boring.
After the dance of the girl from Ji Shen's family in the Criminal Department, the woman in the pink juan crescent moon silver silk skirt walked to the hall in a moving step, and her eyes fell on Prince Mu not far away from time to time.
"The courtiers of the Marquis of Xinyang Mansion Yan Xiang greet the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager, the emperor and the queen, and the ladies and ladies of the Queen." Yan Xiang deliberately made a gesture that he thought was elegant, and he was slightly blessed.
As long as it is a beauty, the emperor will not make it difficult: "No courtesy, what talent has Miss Yan prepared?" ”
In fact, Leng Yang wanted to call Yan Xiang Princess Mu, but thinking that the Empress Dowager was not satisfied with the Yan family woman he was marrying, on such an occasion, he still did not dare to challenge the Empress Dowager's bottom line.
"The courtiers have been learning the piano since childhood, and the master said that the courtiers' piano skills are acceptable, and today the courtiers played a song "Phoenix Seeking the Phoenix". Yan Xiang's eyebrows quickly glanced at Leng Du affectionately, and then quickly withdrew his gaze and lowered his head with a blushing face.
The previous ladies also had the piano, the piano was ready-made, the palace people carefully placed it in front of Yan Xiang's case, Yan Xiang sat down quietly and stroked the strings, took a deep breath, the small and delicate fingertips beat between the strings, and the melodious sound of the piano flowed from the fingertips, sometimes passionate, sometimes euphemistic, sometimes gentle, also frustrated, affectionate.
Whenever the sound of the piano was full of affection, Yan Xiang would look up at Leng Twilight with autumn waves in her eyes and affection, even if she didn't get a response from Leng Twilight, she still looked shy.
The fingertips paused, the sound of the piano stopped abruptly, and seeing Yan Xiangfan's appearance with spring on his face, Leng Yang was in a good mood: "Yes, Miss Yan's song of the phoenix is just right, it is melodious, and more importantly, it is full of affection, old seventeen, how do you say that Miss Yan's song is a phoenix?" ”
Leng Dui, who was named by Leng Yang, held the wine glass and said without changing his face: "Noise, when I heard the royal brother mention it, the younger brother knew that this song was originally a phoenix, but Miss Yan's phoenix sounded so much like a pheasant." ”
Yan Xiang's face turned pale instantly, and she looked at Leng Twilight with unbelievable wide eyes, a pair of watery eyes were misty, as if Leng Twilight would hide her face and cry if she said one more word.
