Chapter Ninety-Nine: Watch
Yun Jinshu said, "I heard Wanwan's call for help, and I have already notified the comer, you guys are waiting here." ”
He retreated to Chu Yuewan's side and picked her up: "The hour is coming, let's go back." ”
Chu Yuewan was lying on his shoulder, still looking back at the two of them.
The chimes of the Zhaohua Hall sounded, and the ceremonial officials came on the stage from both sides, blowing out the candle flames one by one, leaving only a few bronze lampstands in the center of the "Nine Phoenix Dynasty Song" zhang high, and the hall was gradually shrouded in a rich and mysterious warm color.
The flickering candle flame danced in the eyes, and the early moon stood behind the screen and took a deep breath.
It's as if I'm always looking at everything outside through a thin veil.
In every dream of his previous life, he was watching behind the screen.
And everything around us in this life seems to be shrouded in obstacles that cannot be swept away.
The Three Emperor Sisters and the Eighth Emperor Sisters, and everything they said, is it true? Chu Yuewan raised her face to look at her father's seat, and the heavy crown of delphinium feathers on her head made her barely able to raise her head.
…… Why is the carpet of Zhaohua Hall so red? There was a strange synaesthesia in the trance of the early moon evening, as if something was slowly burning into the eyes along the red carpet.
In that glimmer, many familiar people were looking forward to her appearance.
The early moon is waiting for a result.
"Late, late."
A voice behind him shouted softly.
When Chu Yue turned around in the evening, Yun Jinshu immediately made a silence, leaning over and squatting next to her: "The third princess is fine, but she is weak for a while, and the fetal image is stable." ”
"What about the Eighth Emperor Sister?" Chu Yuewan asked softly.
"I asked His Highness Eleventh to lead her to the concubine."
Yun Jinshu said, "It's impossible for her to make any moves tonight." ”
Chu Yuewan was a little depressed: "I said that I wouldn't tell others, if the Eighth Emperor Sister knew, would she ......?" Her eyes flickered suddenly.
would have thought of such a cruel possibility.
"It's fine."
Yun Jinshu comforted, "I didn't let her know that I heard it, besides, this was all happened to me myself, not Wanwan said it, there is no need to blame myself Wanwan." ”
"At that time, was my little uncle outside all the time?" Chu Yuewan asked.
Yun Jinshu touched the back of her head: "I've always been by your side." ”
Chu Yuewan lowered her eyes: "Even if the little uncle is not there, I will tell the little uncle about it."
So I'm still ashamed...... But if no one else knows, there is no way to guarantee the safety of his father and emperor by himself alone.
I hope that the Third Emperor Sister and the Eighth Emperor Sister will not do bad things, but I don't know ......if they have figured it out or not" Yun Jinshu smiled: "Why did you tell me?" Don't tell the queen and His Royal Highness the Prince? Chu Yuewan silently took his finger.
"It's too late...... I don't know. ”
Chu Yuewan muttered, "It seems that from the time I first met the Eight Emperor Sisters and found that my little uncle was accompanying me behind my back, I felt ...... Only the little uncle knows what Wanwan is thinking. ”
Yun Jinshu was stunned and pinched her little meat hand.
The bells and drums beat slowly, laying out the prelude to the festival of pleasing the gods.
The ceremonial officer recited the scriptures in a long and low tone, and the lit incense pillars scattered the ashes little by little, and the new sound of the following year was coming.
"It's time to go on stage."
Chu Yuewan was reluctant to let go of his hand.
"Go ahead."
Yun Jinshu pulled hook with her, "I'm watching you here." ”
Chu Yuewan leaned over and gave him a hug, and then dragged the heavy sacrificial clothes into the center of the main hall.
The candlelight illuminated the ornamented garments, and the small body of the early moon night was encased in such a large garment, and it acted like a short-legged little monster.
As she walked, she glanced at the people around her with her peripheral vision.
Chu Yongwang always paid attention to her steps, frowning as if she was worried about her tripping over the robe, and her face was a little more handsome like Queen Yun's face in the soft light.
The sixth prince beside him, Chu Yongji, lowered his head, and half of his face sank into the darkness, as if he was wearing a half-mask.
Prince Su was half drunk and half awake in the first year, his long phoenix eyes were half closed, leaning on the armrest of the couch and smiling lazily at her.
Prince Lu Chu Xiandan reverently clasped his hands together and recited silently with the ceremonial officer.
Yun Qin tidied up his clothes and sat upright, looking proudly at the beginning of the moon.
In the evening of the early moon, he stepped on the rhythm of the drums, walked to the altar that had just been set up, turned around, and knelt in front of the incense table.
She looked up and met her father's kind gaze right in front of her.
Leaning down from his side, Queen Yun was quiet and dignified, casting a gentle smile at her and nodding.
Half of Yun Jinshu's body was hidden behind the screen, and he vaguely saw his figure in the early moon, but he couldn't see his expression.
The position in the dream finally eased.
Chu Yuewan couldn't help but bend the corners of her mouth.
She knelt down and leaned over, slowly picked up the incense burner, and practiced it one hundred and eighty times under the master's teaching, and now it is a matter of course.
Among the ministers who watched the ceremony, some experts had already let out a sigh.
Originally, I heard that the little princess's practice in the Sky Tower was not satisfactory, but now that I have seen it, those rumors are simply nonsense! Not to mention that the moment the little princess dressed up and appeared on the stage, she had already caught everyone's attention, and the line was also smooth, like a kingfisher falling on a branch.
The little pearl that was still rolling in front of the emperor's knee just now suddenly released her brilliance.
Chu Yuewan couldn't hear whether these sighs were good or malicious, just listened to the music around her, and continued every step she had to do, she offered incense and slowly got up.
The left arm is pulled from the chest, the fingers are spread out as "picking lotus", the right foot is slightly upturned from the skirt, and the heel is pointed on the stage to make "fish jumping waves".
The feathers on the high crown trembled, and the shadows cast on the carpet were like willow branches.
The chimes groaned twice and stopped.
The hall was silent, and the early moon was silent, and he sighed softly.
Suddenly, a loud bell rang all over the capital.
The morning bell of the new year has sounded.
Firecrackers rang out, fireworks on the Luo River were bright, and the light illuminated the dim Zhaohua Palace, and for a while, the ceremonial officials on both sides were ready to light the lampstand at the same time, and the hall was lit up again.
In the early moon, he waved his long sleeves vigorously, like an egret in the water straightening out its wings and turning around and falling.
In just a few steps, it is exquisite.
Everyone present held their breath and did not dare to disturb it slightly.
When the bell outside the hall has passed, the fireworks will end and the firecrackers will go off.
The bell and bronze drum are played again in the hall, which is the beginning of the "Moon God Music".
Chu Yuewan slowly pulled away her wide sleeves, revealing her face, her eyes turned smartly, and she glanced into the air.
She will play many different roles in this festival, starting as a goblin and later on, as the moon god.
Without the shroud of the moon's light, the elves of the forest came out to have fun.
At first, it was a temptation, and every movement was very brisk, and with the sound of the drum, the gesture of the early moon quickly changed shape.
The eyes chase the fingertips, and they are extremely delicate.
The little fleshy hand without knuckles was as flexible as a bird's claw.
"Yo."
Chu Yongnian laughed out loud, "It's so cute." ”
Prince Lu vigorously motioned with his eyes to pay attention to the occasion and not to speak.
Chu Yongnian not only did not stop, but also used his drunkenness to follow the gestures of the early moon.
Chu Yongwang looked at him like a fool.
But it's also true.,The royal sister of this palace is cute.。
At this time, the early moon evening had already changed its pace with the rhythm, and the movements slowly let go with the change of scene.
The dance of the gods of the ritual, since it is to please the gods, it is necessary to show the virtue of the gods, and the joy of the goblins is always for a while.
At the end of the prelude, the moon god will awaken and her light will shine on the world again.
And this dazzling light will not only repel other beings, but also blind the moon god's own eyes.
So the moon god is always lonely.
The ceremonial officer suddenly extinguished the lights again, and only the soft light under the towering lampstands around the altar sprinkled on the body of the early moon, and the golden silhouette appeared in the darkness, and the accompanying drums stopped, and the flute sounded instead.
She incarnates as the "Moon God" at this moment.
Master said that the moon god is always happy, and the moon god who can't see the goblins is the eternal beauty and dazzling existence.
But the early moon night inexplicably felt very desolate.
If you can't be with other people, only your own moon god, will you be content to scare away the beauty and dazzle of others? Even if he has the light that others envy, he can only hang high in the sky forever, and even the light that is sprinkled is cold.
