Chapter 244: Dance
"Why hasn't the tea party in the Imperial Garden been held? The queen is waiting for the palace to participate. ”
Hua Ying returned to the familiar Forbidden City, the emperor really had been thinking about Hua Ying, and stayed in Jingyang Palace that night, and let her not sleep well all night, the next day in a daze, the emperor was exempted from a day's greetings, and now he learned that the queen still did not hold the banquet she said, so he said.
"Who knows what the Queen thinks? She shouldn't think that our mother is not proficient in anything, then she is wrong. Lan Yu changed Hua Ying with new tea, and just happened to hear their topic, so he pouted.
Qingxu said while fanning Hua Ying: "I guess I think our mother has never shown any amazing talent in front of outsiders, so I want to make my mother ugly." ”
"Bengong does have this idea, but the queen should want to understand the enemy of Bengong, and what skills have not been revealed." The queen is not a fool, although Hua Ying is indeed as they say, she has not shown any talent, but she can often hear from the emperor's mouth that her danqing chess skills and cooking skills are very good, she does this, she just wants to know more about Hua Ying, Hua Ying of the province suddenly became a blockbuster in the future, it is better to let Hua Ying perform when the harem concubines are outstanding, in this way, even if it is amazing, for the emperor, it is inevitable that there will be some aesthetic fatigue.
Such an idea is obvious in Hua Ying's eyes anyway, but she is not afraid, for the queen this is the best of both worlds, not only to know more about her opponent, but also to praise the people on her side, but for Hua Ying, this is not an opportunity? Even if the emperor is prone to aesthetic fatigue, then she has to be the most different person and show the things that are easiest for the emperor to remember.
"If the mother doesn't want to go, you don't have to go, in short, the queen can't force the mother to go to her banquet." Seeing that Hua Ying didn't speak, Hui Xin thought that she didn't want to participate.
"How can that be? This is too bad for the queen, and the palace naturally wants to go, but I'm afraid it won't be able to make the queen happy. "Sometimes the queen is just too self-righteous to think that everything will go the way she wants it to.
At the junction of late summer and early autumn, the banquet of the harem concubines that the queen wanted to hold wholeheartedly finally kicked off, although it was just a simple platform built in the imperial garden, but it was also a chance for many of them to show themselves, to say that the queen is indeed good at doing things, so that these concubines more or less respect the queen.
"This stage is too shabby, I know that our harem concubines are playing by themselves, I don't know, I think there is an unpopular troupe in the palace." Concubine Jiang has no talent to show, and she also scoffs at this matter, and she doesn't forget to say a few sour words.
"Since Concubine Jiang knows that this is a banquet for the families of our harem concubines, there are no outsiders, so it is more simple, not to mention that the sisters in our harem all have their own talents, and some are not only singing and dancing, but also dancing and writing, such a platform is enough." The queen was not in a hurry, she just explained lightly, what she said was also reasonable, after all, this was just a leisure activity for themselves, and there were no foreign guests, so why should they be so solemn?
Concubine Jiang seemed to know that she was in the wrong, and did not continue to pick up this point, but Hui promised to ask Concubine Jiang: "I don't know what program Concubine Jiang has prepared today?" The concubines, who have just entered the palace, are waiting to see Concubine Jiang's good show. ”
said that he had just entered the palace, but in fact, it had been a year, and Hui agreed to say so, making it clear that he wanted to embarrass Concubine Jiang.
"What does this palace have to do with you? You'd better prepare your own, you haven't had a few favors throughout the year, and it's all up to you to get back a little favor today, right? "Since Concubine Jiang has this life experience, she has been so sneered at by others since she entered the palace, but she has cultivated some cheekiness, and she is also above board when she has no talent.
"Concubine Jiang is very amazing, she doesn't need a little talent to be able to secure the throne of the four concubines in the harem." Megumi promised to be flattering on the surface, but in fact he was still sarcastic.
Without waiting for Concubine Jiang to continue, the emperor and the queen mother arrived, she muttered in her heart that she was not familiar with these people, so she followed everyone to get up and salute, the queen mother was able to come to surprise everyone, it seems that she was really persuaded by the queen to be tempted.
The Queen Mother didn't want to come, but she just thought that the queen was so gracious, and she didn't give face, and because of the majesty of the queen, it affected the royal demeanor, and the gains outweighed the losses: "Today's mourning family is to have a good time, you don't have to worry about the mourning family, don't let you lose interest." ”
"The Queen Mother said something like this again, these sisters are here, aren't they just looking for some fun for the Queen Mother?" Concubine Xiu affectionately held the arm of the Queen Mother, but I don't know if the queen will feel that Concubine Xiu is acting on behalf of her again.
"You don't say these words to coax the mourning family, okay, let's start quickly, the emperor finally has time to accompany everyone, don't waste time complimenting the mourning family." Although the Queen Mother said that Concubine Xiu was clever on the surface, it could be seen that she was very useful.
"Then let's use a form of drumming and passing flowers today, what do you think?" The queen was smiling, and she already had a posture of giving up the opportunity to everyone: "The palace has also prepared a hydrangea to pass on, and where it stops, whoever will perform a show." ”
"It's a bit boring to click on the drum to pass the flowers, right? Queen Mother, why don't we find a sister to play the piano or sing on the side, and then pause to see which sister has superb piano skills or singing skills. "Fei Guiren gave the queen an idea, but I don't know if the two have discussed it before.
"Okay, so are any of the sisters volunteering?" The queen nodded, looking very satisfied with Fei Guiren's proposal, and asked, "If not, it can only be carried out in such a plain way." ”
Their concubines rarely sat in a circle today because of this form, but the dignity and humility can't be messed up, so the queen and the emperor and the queen mother are outside, Hua Ying is the leader of this circle, and now the queen asks like this, Hua Ying secretly said in her heart Who will do this kind of thankless work, just find a singer to come.
Who knew that as soon as he thought about it, someone spoke: "Concubines can sing and cheer up the sisters." Du Changzai said in Fushen, because Concubine Jiang was sitting next to Hua Ying, she obviously heard Concubine Jiang's disdainful sneer, and she looked down on Du Changzai.
"If you keep singing, it's not good for your voice, and if you have a sister who volunteered, you are always with Du Changzai."
No one answered in the middle of the ring, Hua Ying also noticed that Yan Guiren avoided the queen's eyes, and Hui promised to look a little strange, I don't know what she was thinking, she was funny in her heart, is this not negotiable or what, there are so many intrigues in a small banquet, why bother?
"Then the concubine will come to accompany Du Changzai, it just so happens that the concubine can play the kite, and it is also ugly." Hui agreed to say so, even if it was to give the queen a face, Hua Ying could almost see it, the queen probably wanted Yan Guiren to cooperate with Du Changzai, but Yan Guiren wanted to perform by himself and show himself in front of the emperor, so Fang Cai was a little remorseful, Hui promised not to know whether it was to please the queen or show herself, so she took the initiative to stand up.
The queen didn't seem to have happened, and when she saw Megumi promise to stand up, she smiled slightly, but there was a little more inquiry in her eyes: "Okay, since there are sisters who are willing to take the initiative, that's the best." ”
"Let's get started." The emperor seemed to think that it took too long before this start, and said to the queen impatiently, speaking of which, the queen also held this event for herself to better understand the harem concubines, but he always had no interest in his heart, and felt that many of the talents of the harem concubines were exactly the same, and there was nothing for him to look at twice.
But the later emperor obviously changed his opinion, and even wanted to thank his queen.
After the two discussed, as Hui agreed to pluck the strings lightly twice, Du Changzai also sang a song with a light tune in her sweet voice, which was indeed an auditory enjoyment, plus both of them were beautiful and beautiful, and the emperor looked at it twice.
The hydrangea was passed between the concubines, Hua Ying was really too lazy to play, but for the sake of the queen's face, she just passed it casually, and with the song and the sound of the piano stopped abruptly, the hydrangea stopped in front of Jing Concubine.
Concubine Jing was a little surprised, she didn't expect that the first one was herself, so she got up and said slightly: "The concubine doesn't have any special talents, so she wants to play a flute for the emperor and the queen mother, but she only learned it as a child, and please don't dislike the emperor and the queen mother." ”
"It doesn't matter."
Jing Concubine has been in the palace for so long, and the emperor knows a lot about where to shine, and there is no special reaction, Jing Concubine is just as she said, the flute is not particularly good, but it is also barely blown down a complete song, and the emperor is also more face-saving, and symbolically applauded twice: "Not bad." ”
Concubine Jing is also frank and unrestrained, after all, she is indeed not a talented woman, and one or two things are enough.
"Okay, let's move on."
The next one is the Fei noble, the Fei nobleman pretended to be surprised, and snorted lightly, somewhat contrived, but in the eyes of the emperor, it is quite cute, what talents Hua Ying really doesn't know, and I don't want to know.
"For today's concubine, I have specially studied palm dance these days, but I have only learned it for a short time, I am afraid that the emperor and the queen mother and the sisters will laugh." Fei Guiren said very modestly, and said that he would learn for this, Hua Ying was a little skeptical, this palm dance as its name suggests, was founded by the emperor's mother, legend has it that she can dance in the palm of the next person's hand and not fall, this is not a skill that can be practiced in a while.
"Oh? I didn't expect that Fei Guiren would have such a unique skill, so let's start quickly. The emperor was really interested in it, this was a good show, and he was looking forward to it.
Fei Guiren did not disappoint the emperor, although she did not dance on the palms of the palace people, but also moved a long time ready, thin columns, with toe points, fluttering and rotating, wonderful and amazing, graceful limbs and suitable music combined, can always completely catch the attention of others, especially the emperor, a pair of eyes seem to be glued to her body.
Hua Ying is also admired for being able to practice her dancing posture like this in a short period of time, even if she has a dance foundation before, it is not easy to transform it into this in a few months, and Fei Guiren has endured it before without showing it, so it can be seen that she is waiting for today.
