Chapter 38: The Phoenix Spreads Its Wings
"Gu Jinxiu?" After seeing the people dancing below, the emperor was stunned at first, and then looked at the empty seat beside Qi Hao, and then continued to enjoy the dance.
Qi Hao glanced at the petrified men opposite, his eyes disdainful.
When he arrived at King Xuan, he saw that he was also looking at him, his thin lips hooked a touch of arc, and he raised the wine glass in his hand.
King Xuan took a sip of wine and smiled back.
Gu Jinli stood barefoot on the cold ground, flicked her hands, and two red silk threads came out of her sleeves and hooked the pillar directly above the main hall.
With a light tap on her toes, she secretly gathered all her strength under her feet, and then the music changed, and she turned over and jumped up with force, and with the strength of the red silk, she actually flew up over the main hall and leaped into a word from the top of everyone's heads.
After three laps in the air, she landed steadily, and then changed back to a coherent and orderly dance move.
The music was high, Gu Jinli held the red silk tightly again, and flew into the air, like a wild goose flying, like a fairy and dust, but when she heard the music, she wrapped Hongling three times with one hand, and buckled Hongling four times with one foot.
After a few glasses of wine, I don't know if it was the effect of alcohol, or the wind was too soft tonight, Qi Hao actually felt that the red figure flying in the night was a fire, and it bloomed into fireworks in his heart.
Yin Suwan noticed the strange color in his eyes, his slender nails pinched his palms hard, and called softly: "Brother Hao, drink less wine." ”
Qi Hao came back to his senses and sandwiched a few more dishes for Yin Suwan.
When the music was heard in the sky, Gu Jinli spun sideways, and nine consecutive air whirling dances, and when her physical strength was about to be exhausted, she landed leisurely with the wings of a phoenix.
No one applauded, and there was silence.
The Queen Mother's eyes were moist, wiping the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, Yin Suwan looked straight at Gu Jinli, her hands under the table clutched the handkerchief tightly, Princess Xiyue was a little envious, as for Princess Huaqiong and the other ladies and relatives, their eyes were full of jealousy.
"Good!" The emperor was the first to applaud, and everyone also applauded after retracting their thoughts.
After the Queen Mother calmed down, Qi Hao smiled and said, "Queen Mother, is this gift satisfactory?" ”
The Queen Mother looked at Gu Jinli, frowned without a trace, and said after a while: "This 'Phoenix Dance Nine Days'...... Barely possible. ”
The reason why the Queen Mother was favored by the emperor was because she danced this "Phoenix Dance for Nine Days".
It's just that the Queen Mother later got cold after giving birth, and she accidentally fell, so she couldn't dance such a difficult dance as "Phoenix Dance for Nine Days".
That's why she has been so obsessed with "Phoenix Dance Nine Days" over the years.
The emperor naturally knew that the Queen Mother didn't want to see Gu Jinxiu because of Yin Suwan, and this sentence "barely can" was an affirmation in disguise, so he turned his head and said in a deep voice to Gonggong Jia: "Concubine Gu has a unique dance this time, and she will appreciate the Vermilion Bird Feather Coat!" ”
He did this, firstly, because Gu Jinli really danced well, and secondly, he followed the words of the Queen Mother to give Gu Jinli a step down.
When they heard this, their eyes turned red again.
"Father, the Vermilion Bird Feather Coat, the son has asked you for many times, and you are reluctant to give it, but today is generous!" Princess Huaqiong pursed her lips, stepped forward and grabbed his sleeve, half coquettish and half arrogant: "The retainer does not follow!" ”
Princess Huaqiong was used to being willful in front of the emperor, but after all, the words had been spoken, and the emperor couldn't change his words, so he had to pat her hand and say, "Huaqiong, wait for the next time I ......."
"Your Majesty." With a flash of eyes, Gu Jinli suddenly knelt down, and her voice was crisp and respectful: "The Vermilion Bird Feather Coat is very precious, and it is loved by the princess, so Jinxiu can't take it away, and ask the emperor to take it back." ”
"This ......" The emperor didn't expect Gu Jinli to be so understanding, and he also knew Hua Qiong's temperament that he wouldn't give up if he couldn't get it, so he was embarrassed: "Since Concubine Gu is so knowledgeable, then I will give you ...... again"
"Your Majesty, Jinxiu doesn't want any rewards." Gu Jinli shook her head, and unexpectedly interrupted the emperor's words in time: "But...... Jinxiu wanted to ask the emperor for a holy decree. ”
Her words made everyone's eyes widen, this Gu Jinxiu is really bold, and she dares to make a request to the emperor, she is really tired and crooked!
Qi Hao's hand holding the wine glass paused, and his eyes darkened.
"Oh?" The emperor looked at Gu Jinli unexpectedly and said curiously: "What holy decree?" ”
"Jinxiu hasn't thought about it yet." Gu Jinli pursed her lips and said loudly: "However, the holy decree that Jinxiu asked for has nothing to do with the country, the former dynasty and the harem, please rest assured." ”
After hearing this, the emperor thought that she couldn't make any earth-shaking requests as a little woman, so he smiled and said, "Okay, I promise you." ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty." After Gu Jinli kowtowed and thanked her, she retreated to the side hall in the stunned eyes of everyone.
