Wu Wangfu arranged everything, and then trotted to the harem.

There are newcomers in the palace, and naturally there are palace maids and concubines who come to watch. Everyone wants to come to the set, talk, chat, and find out, and soon find out the details, and if they feel the need to tie up, they will quickly tie the knot, and they can be bullied mercilessly.

As the saying goes: "There are three thousand beauties in the harem." "In the Wu Yue era, there were no three thousand beauties in the harem, but there were still hundreds of girls. There are so many beauties, all of them belong to the king alone.

But the king is just a man, and he can't take care of every woman. Therefore, there are many palace maids who die as virgins. Although he is in the palace and has fine clothes and food, there are still people crying and not wanting to go during the folk beauty pageant, and this kind of widowhood is really not good.

In later generations, someone in the Tang Dynasty wrote poems to describe the palace maids: "The ancient palace is lonely, the palace flowers are lonely and red, and the white-headed palace maids are here, sitting idly and talking about Xuanzong." ”

In the palace, it is not uncommon for women to blackmail each other and kill each other in order to compete for favor.

These circumstances, before Xi Shi and them entered the palace, they all had foreknowledge, and entering the palace was equivalent to entering a dangerous gladiatorial arena.

When those palace maids saw Xi Shi and Zheng Dan, they were all shocked by their beauty, and knew that they would be out of play in a short period of time.

When Xi Shi and Zheng Dan saw someone greeting them, they all replied politely, polite and generous, graceful and approachable. Can't jump out of anything.

Everyone found it boring, so they dispersed.

King Wu is here. Lao Yuan shouted: "Beauty, the widow is late." ”

Xi Shi and Zheng Dan hurriedly got up, saluted, and said in unison: "The concubine is the king,"

Be polite, courteous, and convey respect and obedience in your expression.

King Wu was stunned for a moment, feeling that he was too casual. So he said: "The two ladies don't have to be formal, we will be a family in the future, and everyone will be casual to be cordial." ”

Xi Shi only took a closer look at King Wu at this time, he was also a young man, wearing a purple gold crown on his head, white skin, two sword eyebrows, a pair of eyes shooting a domineering light, a slender figure, and a straight waist. is not a beautiful man like Fan Li, but he has a terrifying heroic spirit.

At this time, King Wu was easy-going, but he did not lose his royal demeanor, his face was full of desire, but he revealed dignity and majesty.

"This man is okay." Shih Tzu thought,

"Come on. We sat down. ”

King Wu looked at Xi Shi, then at Zheng Dan, and then at Xi Shi, and finally remembered that he should sit down and play.

With a wave of his hand, someone offered tea and snacks. Zimei and Luo Jiang stood behind Xi Shi and Zheng Dan respectively.

Drinking tea, eating snacks, and talking, Xi Shi and Zheng Dan held festivals, and seemed to be strange and curious about the palace. King Wu said, "Two ladies, are you satisfied with this place?" ”

Xi Shi said: "The concubine comes from the mountains, is between the green mountains and green waters, often in the mountains and streams, and now lives in the luxurious palace, and sees the king mighty and handsome, it is really a surprise." ”

King Wu said: "Mrs. Changguo is really good at talking, okay, let's talk about the mountain stream and Huansha in Lai Luo Village now, that is for the widow." It's also very novel. ”

Xi Shi and Zheng Dan slowly told the anecdotes about the girls' mountain streams and raccoons, and Wu Wang laughed: "Oh, these mountain winds and wild fun, it's so interesting, it's the first time I've heard of it." ”

Zheng Dan said: "It's also quite fun for us to sing while singing with raccoons. ”

King Wu said, "Madame can sing? ”

Shih Tzu said, "Our sisters can sing." ”

King Wu rubbed his hands and said, "It's really good, can Madame sing a song for the widow?" ”

Xi Shi said: "I am afraid of the voice of the concubine in the mountains and wilderness." Not in the ears of kings. ”

King Wu said: "It's okay, it's okay, the widow wants to hear the sound of the mountains and fields, musician, call the musician." ”

Zheng Dan said: "You don't have to call a musician to come, the concubine can have music." Tell them to bring ten bowls and a cup of water. ”

King Wu was curious: "Seven bowls and a glass of water?" What do you mean? ”

Zheng Dan said: "The king just calls to bring it." ”

King Wu said, "Ten bowls, a glass of water, quick, bring it!" ”

The waiter hurriedly held a stack of bowls, and another waiter trotted over with a glass of water.

Zheng Dan said: "Zimei, you come to tune." ”

Zimei whispered, "Yes, madam." "Squatted down, put the bowl away, picked up a chopstick, knocked on the bowl, set a tone, and then added water to the bowl to determine the pitch, and quickly found ten pitches.

In the Spring and Autumn period, the music has no semitones, only five notes.

Fan Li came from the later generations, he was the captain of the singing team at school, and he saw the teacher play this. It's actually a gadget. But King Wu had never seen this, so he felt very curious.

Zimei is an extremely smart fairy, as soon as Fan Li said it, she would do it immediately, and soon found two semitones. Now it happens to be demonstrated in front of King Wu.

Zimei said, "Madam, it's okay." "Say it, stand up.

Zheng Dan picked up the chopsticks and flexibly knocked out a string of more than a dozen rice hair solasi. King Wu was stunned for a moment, this can also be a musical instrument, long knowledge.

Zheng Dan said to Xi Shi: "Sister come to a song? ”

Xi Shi stood up and saluted King Wu: "King, the concubine is ugly." ”

Zheng Dan held a chopstick in one hand, knocked out a prelude, and immediately entered the main song, Xi Shi did not sing along, this is an opportunity to show the skill of knocking bowls. I saw Zheng Dan's two snow-white little hands, like two butterflies flying, bamboo chopsticks knocking on the bowl like beads falling on a jade plate, slow like spring water, like rain hitting plantains in an emergency.

This is the episode "A Big River" from the movie "Shangganling" in later generations, Fan Li taught the song to a few girls, and re-matched the lyrics.

When King Wu heard this beautiful music, he couldn't close his mouth in surprise, where had he ever heard such beautiful music!

At the end of the song, Zheng Dan knocked on the door, and Xi Shi picked up and sang:

The mountains are green and the grass is long,

The raccoon girl sings sweetly.

Dancing around the beam,

Lift the gold bottle to the king.

……

The music is beautiful, the people are more beautiful, the singing is clear, and the sweetness is like a sweet spring. After singing a song, the aftermath lingers. King Wu closed his eyes and did not open them for a long time.

After a while, he let out a long breath. Tears fell from his eyes. said, before meeting the two ladies, the widow really lived in vain.

As Fan Li taught, Xi Shi used the technique of two-point fox. Zheng Dan used a foxy technique, but Zimei and Luo Jiang hid it deeply.

As a result, as pre-designed, throughout the day, King Wu has been revolving around Xi Shi, although he did not snub Zheng Dan, but the center is still on Xi Shi.

Later, Zheng Dan knocked on the bowl and played a tune, and Xi Shi also danced a simple dance. King Wu, who only watched, was fascinated.

After playing for a day, King Wu was very happy, but he didn't realize that the sun was setting in the West Mountain, and it was late in the sky, King Wu began to linger with Xi Shi, and Zheng Dan and Luo Jiang quietly hidden. Zimei sent King Wu and Xi Shi to Chaoyang Palace, and after doing what a maid should do, she also quietly withdrew.

Xi Shi's heart beat wildly, and now, she was about to welcome the most precious first time in her life.
