Chapter 174: Birthday Banquet
Wangchun Palace is a palace with beautiful scenery, at this time it has already been arranged, and the seats have been arranged. The two people sitting on either side of him were not smiling, and Chen Siye didn't go close.
However, there was no prince Li Runze at the banquet, and I don't know if Emperor Ji was still angry and didn't let him come or what. And there was no female guest at the banquet, and I didn't know where the lord of Xuanyang had gone, but Jin Hongtai sat with the blonde middle-aged man who should be the king of Pingxi.
There are maids standing on each table to serve tea and pour wine, and the table is also full of dried fruit preserves, dim sum cakes, Emperor Ji has not yet arrived, so the main dish has not yet been served. When Chen Siye was turning his head to look around, he only heard a shout: "The envoy of the martial country has arrived!" β
Suddenly, the audience was silent, and all the ministers turned their heads to look at the entrance, Da Ji suffered a lot of losses in the hands of the Wu State, and many military attachΓ©s glared angrily at the envoys of the Wu State.
I saw an old man leading four or five people, and he followed the waiter to sit in the second seat on the side of Emperor Ji's position without fear, looking at the old man, Chen Siye always felt a little familiar, but his face was very unfamiliar, and he said that this should be the prince and master of Wuguo, and he should have never seen him.
When they sat down, they closed their eyes and turned a blind eye to the hostile eyes around them.
Not long after, another shout was heard: "Your Majesty has arrived!" "Emperor Ji finally made his finale.
Everyone, including the envoys of the Wu Kingdom, stood up and greeted: "Welcome Your Majesty!" "This time, you don't have to kneel anymore, you just have to bow down.
I saw Emperor Ji walking up to the throne with a spring breeze on his face, raising his hand and pressing it weakly: "Zhuqing is exempt." β
All the ministers sat down one after another, and the prince and master of Wuguo led a few people to step forward and said: "Foreign minister Yun Fei, meet His Majesty Emperor Ji, and wish His Majesty Emperor Ji a prosperous sun and moon, and a long pine crane." β
Although it was a visit, a few people only bowed slightly, which made the ministers very dissatisfied, only to feel that these people did not know the etiquette and were extremely arrogant.
However, Emperor Ji didn't care, and said with a smile: "Master Yun doesn't have to be polite. β
After everyone in Wuguo sat down, Emperor Ji glanced at the audience, saw that no one was absent, smiled with satisfaction, and with an order, the banquet officially began, and the court musicians around also played music in due course.
All the men present, most of them were attracted by these dancing girls, Chen Siye also looked at it with appreciation, and said in his heart that this banquet had just begun, and the women should be the finale.
Then the maids also began to serve the main dishes, each table has 20 hot dishes, 20 cold dishes, 4 soup dishes, 4 side dishes, and 4 fresh fruits, plus the dried fruit preserves and pastries that have been put on the table before, a total of 100 and 9 products. Among them, there are many delicacies, Chen Siye's local buns have never even seen it, and even the plates and dishes are unusually exquisite and chic, it seems to be newly fired, and there are different shapes of longevity characters on it, which makes him cry out for luxury in his heart.
As Emperor Ji raised his glass and moved his chopsticks, the ministers also raised their glasses and moved their chopsticks, the atmosphere gradually became warmer, and the program also changed several times, singing, dancing, juggling, everything, especially a program, which couldn't help but make Emperor Ji's ministers shout interesting, and even Chen Siye's eyes lit up.
This show is composed of hundreds of children as big as Jingqing, red, purple, silver and green, colorful, wearing jade crowns, wrapping scarves, dancing swords,
Holding the brocade battle, holding the treasure plate, and carrying the carved arrows, I don't know whose idea it was, and the response in the field was enthusiastic, which was very fun.
When the atmosphere was in full swing, the sound of silk and bamboo, which had never stopped, suddenly stopped, and all the ministers in the audience were a little stunned, but Emperor Ji showed a slight smile, knowing that this was a program prepared by Le Xuan for him, Chen Siye naturally knew that the neon dress and feather dance was about to start.
When the ministers didn't know what was going on, suddenly a piano sound came from nowhere, and the ministers turned their heads to look around, trying to find who was playing the piano, not waiting for them to find it, and then, a wave of flowing piano sound came, light and elegant, soft as water, and everyone present didn't care about looking for where the sound came from, they closed their eyes and listened, looking enjoyable.
As Chen Siye, who dedicated the score, he naturally knew that this was the prelude to the Neon Clothes and Feather Dance: Loose Order, this Loose Order is played solo or in turn by various single instruments, and he can hear that this piano sound should be played by Su Lanzhu.
When everyone in the audience was listening attentively, the sound of the piano suddenly changed to the sound of the pipa, but this transition was so natural that everyone did not notice it at all.
The sound of the pipa is like a small bridge flowing water, carrying people's thoughts to another world, as if they really saw the murmuring of flowing water. The rhythm of this pipa sound is also very familiar to Chen Siye, and it must have been played by Lin Jing.
Listening to it, even Chen Siye was in a trance, and he didn't care about telling who played it, and he didn't even know when he changed the flute, Xiao and other musical instruments.
Everyone in the audience, including Emperor Ji and the envoys of Wuguo, was intoxicated with the song, and it was not until the prelude was finished and there was a pause in the middle that they woke up and discussed the beauty of the song with the people around them with appreciation.
But it didn't take long for the music to sound again, and the room suddenly fell silent again, and only the music was left, and everyone was listening carefully. This is the second section of the Neon Dress and Feather Dance, the middle prelude.
Chen Siye knew that from the middle order, there would be a dance, so he stretched his neck and waited for the girls to appear.
At this time, I saw more than a dozen women dressed in the same color neon feather coat fluttering like fairies entered, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Chen Siye saw at a glance that the three people in front of him were Su Lanzhu, Cuiyun, and Xiaochan, the three of them were slightly powdered, their eyebrows and eyes were picturesque, and they were wearing neon clothes and feathers, which were really good-looking, and most of everyone's eyes fell on the three of them.
The women in the audience danced to the beat of the song, fast and slow, their clothes fluttering, and their dancing posture was really different from the dance at the beginning of the banquet.
When everyone was intoxicated by the dancing posture of the women in the audience, the girls suddenly showed their singing voices, singing and dancing, and suddenly set off a wave of **.
Then, with the music that gradually calmed down, the women withdrew, and the middle order should be over.
The ministers looked at the end of the women, they all thought it was over, and they all praised and praised endlessly, but then suddenly there was a sonorous music, and the ministers knew that there was another paragraph, and they were busy listening carefully.
This is the last paragraph: Twist and break. This sonorous music is an ensemble of more than a dozen musical instruments such as chime, zheng, qin, pipa, flute, flute, gonghou, zhen, sheng, etc., such as rain hitting plantains, complex sound and rapid festival, accompanied by music, there are 20 women dressed in various colors of feather coats floating on the stage, and the head is impressive
is Le Xuan, dressed in a colorful feather coat, with her peerless appearance, it is really beautiful.
However, Chen Siye didn't see Qiu Ju, Lin Jing and Ming Yuesu in it, it seems that the three of them should be playing music and don't plan to appear on the stage.
The rhythm of this song is urgent, only dancing and not singing, so the dance style of the women led by Le Xuan in the field is completely different from the middle sequence.
Everyone in the audience stared at Le Xuan, who led the dance, with a smile and a smile, every movement was like a fairy outside the sky, so that everyone was reluctant to end the dance.
But at the end of the day, as the sonorous music gradually slowed down, the dancing of the girls became soft again until the music stopped.
At the end of the dance, Chen Siye also felt very reluctant, and suddenly knew what Bai Juyi's "thousands of songs and dances are innumerable, and I love the neon dress dance the most" is really wonderful.
At this time, there was silence in the field, and it seemed that they hadn't reacted yet, until Le Xuan and the women were about to retreat, only to hear Emperor Ji laugh loudly, and stroked his palms: "Hahaha!" Wonderful! Wonderful! Xuan'er is slow, tell me what is the name of this dance? β
Le Xuan stopped, turned around and said, "Back to Your Majesty, this dance is called the Dance of Neon Clothes and Feathers." In front of the ministers, Le Xuan did not call him Uncle Huang.
"The Dance of the Feathers... It's perfect, it's perfect! Emperor Ji looked extremely happy, and said: "This dance should only exist in the sky, it really opened my eyes, but I don't know where the immortals can create this dance?" β
Le Xuan smiled and replied: "Back to Your Majesty, this dance is an ancient remnant score presented by Hanlin to be edicted by Chen Liubu, and Xu is really created by ancient immortals." β
As soon as they heard this, all the ministers whispered, through the matter of the emperor's list two days ago, no one knew the name of Hanlin to be edicted, but they hadn't seen him yet, and they didn't know what it looked like, even the two unsmiling officials beside Chen Siye were curious, but they didn't know that Chen Siye was beside them.
Emperor Ji glanced at the last seat, looked at Le Xuan with a smile and said, "I know, Xuan'er should go and rest first." After dancing for a long time, Le Xuan's forehead was already covered with fine beads of sweat, which could be seen if she was a little closer.
In the midst of all the attention, Le Xuan left the scene without arrogance or impatience, and Emperor Ji asked the ministers again: "What do you think about the neon dress and feather dance just now?" β
Naturally, no one will say anything bad about the scenery, and the words of praise are endless.
At this time, a young man sitting next to Yun Fei, the prince of the Wu Kingdom, suddenly whispered something to him, Yun Fei nodded, got up and interrupted the ministers to praise and said: "This dance is certainly beautiful, but the foreign ministers think that this dance is all because of His Royal Highness the Lord of Pingle. Your Majesty Emperor Ji, the foreign minister has something to play. β
All the ministers looked at Yun Fei with some displeasure, and they didn't know what he meant by saying this, but Emperor Ji didn't care and asked, "Master Yun, please speak." β
"The foreign minister wants to propose to His Majesty Emperor Ji on behalf of the crown prince of my dynasty, and marry His Royal Highness the county lord of Pingle to His Royal Highness the prince of my dynasty."
As soon as this remark came out, the audience was shocked, they were all unhappy, and Chen Siye was so embarrassed, he secretly scolded this Yun Fei in his heart for being really hateful, not to mention whether Le Xuan was willing or not, if Emperor Ji really agreed to marry Le Xuan to Wuguo, then how could his task be completed?
Although they all felt that with the current state of hostility, the prince and prince of Wuguo were simply wishful thinking, but the decision was in the hands of Emperor Ji, so all the ministers looked at Emperor Ji to see how Emperor Ji decided.
