Chapter 24 The Spring Festival

A few days later, Chinese New Year's Eve came, and the entire Wanfu was lit up and lively. I saw that the people in the house were busy, coming and going.

Since the emperor was also there this time, the princess was also there, so the Chinese New Year's Eve was more grand than usual. Originally, according to the official rank, a banquet should be held in the mansion of Lord Zongguan, but Sima Xunye felt that it was too troublesome, so he specially gave it a gift to be held in Wanfu.

In the evening, the banquet was ready, just waiting for the invitees to arrive.

When night came, there was only a full moon hanging high in the night sky, and there was not a single twinkling star.

The lights of Wanfu were dim, and all the officials entered the venue one after another, just waiting for the emperor and princess to appear warmly. The banquet was still held in the Water Moon Pavilion, and everyone sat in the Water Moon Pavilion to watch the singing and dancing below, while the people above drank and talked happily.

The Water Moon Pavilion is huge, it can almost accommodate thousands of people, he is built with a high platform below, people want to go up, they must walk up the covered bridge, and then cross the stairs, in order to go up the Water Moon Pavilion. A high platform was built under the Water Moon Pavilion, which was specially used for performances. Below this high platform is a pond with fake lotus flowers planted around it.

At this time, the emperor appeared, only to hear his personal eunuch shout, "The emperor has arrived, the princess has arrived!" ”

So they walked up to the Water Moon Pavilion, only to hear all the officials kneel down and salute, "See the emperor, see the princess!" The voice was loud and neat.

Sima Xunye sat on the top, and on the right side next to her was Zhen Rong's position, she also sat up, only to hear Sima Xunye's voice, "Flat!" The crowd stood up and thanked them, "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”

Today, the second brother is wearing a black dragon robe, and the officials are all wearing court clothes.

At this moment, I combed my hair into a fairy bun, a phoenix hairpin on each side of it, wore golden tassel earrings in my ears, both of my shoulders drooped, my face was delicate makeup, my forehead was painted with lotus flowers, my eyes were painted with pale red eyeshadow, with a few hints of lilac glitter, and my lips were painted with pale red lipstick.

He was wearing a pale red palace robe, embroidered with red luan with gold thread, and a pair of light-colored boots on his feet. He wears a jade bracelet on each hand and a jade ring on his right index finger.

I only heard the second brother announce majestically, "The banquet begins!" ”

Then, the dancers entered the arena one after another and began to perform, and the music of the silk and bamboo orchestra also sounded.

I saw that after the above toasted the emperor one by one, they began to toast each other and compliment each other, only Wan Qin and the chief Guan sat there and drank slowly.

I don't know who was bold, he suddenly got up and looked straight at Zhen Rong, with a teasing smile on his face, "I heard that after Her Royal Highness the princess married into the Chu State, she has conquered the Chu Emperor with a dance, and the Chu Emperor was fascinated by the princess, I don't know if there is such a thing." "The man was dressed in a suit of armor, and stood crookedly, as if he had drunk a lot, so that he could be so bold and tease the princess of the dynasty.

These words shocked everyone, and the officials sitting in the seat were mourning for him, he was dead, and he dared to tease Her Royal Highness the princess, it seemed that he didn't want to live anymore.

At this moment, Wan Qin stared at that man, his face full of displeasure, as if he wanted to drag him out and kill him. Sima Xunye's face was also dark, extremely cold, and he only listened to his cold words, "Someone! Drag this disrespectful thing down, and fight it to death with a military club. ”

At this time, when the guards were about to drag it down, the person finally spoke. I saw Zhen Rong get up slowly, her tone was as gentle as water, and her eyes looked at Sima Xunye with bright eyes, "Slow." ”

"Second brother, this person is only drunk, so rude, blamed to death, not yet, besides, today is Chinese New Year's Eve, it is not suitable to see blood, and he is still a general, he has fought for the Lan country for many years, so he is executed like this, so that those who work for the Lan country will inevitably be chilled, so, second brother, drag him down and beat a hundred military sticks, has been the police officer."

After listening to her words, Sima Xunye was very reasonable, so he changed his tone and said indifferently, "Drag this person down, and deal with it according to the princess's words." "If it weren't for Zhen Rong's intercession today, it is estimated that that person would really die.

I only listened to Sima Xunye's cold voice of warning, "Today's matter, I can be lightly punished, if there is a next time, I will not be spared." ”

Everyone knelt down, "Yes, please remember!" "Of course, except for Zhenrong, you don't have to kneel.

Zhen Rong thought to herself, this is the price to pay for being too beautiful, and wherever she goes, there will be people looking for trouble, or someone will tease. In modern times, people who are too beautiful are also unhappy and are often harassed.

Zhen Rong looked at Sima Xunye with a smile on her face, "Second brother, I don't know what to give you, as the emperor, the woman lacks nothing, so the third sister specially choreographed a dance and dedicated it to the imperial brother today." ”

After Sima Xunye heard this, the anger just now disappeared, and his face was full of joy, "Really? Okay, let the second brother see, how is the dance of my third sister? ”

Zhen Rong smiled, "Okay, but the imperial brother has to wait first, let me go and change my dance clothes." ”

Then, Zhen Rong went down to prepare.

After a quarter of an hour, all the lights around them suddenly went out, and they looked around with uneasiness, and some people shouted, "Where are the lights?" How did the lights go out. ”

At this moment, the center of the stage was lit up, and on the stage, a stunning beauty, wearing a light purple dance dress, was lying on her side on a huge war drum, and there were several erected drums around her.

I saw her holding a drumstick in both hands, tapping the war drum, "Knock-knock". At this moment, he suddenly stood up, and the drumsticks of both hands suddenly flew like both sides and hit the small drum, only to hear two "dong dong" shocking people's hearts.

Then, he sang the song "Loyal to the Country".

The wolf smoke rises, the north looks at the dragon rolling, the horse neighses, and the sword qi is like frost

The heart is like the water of the Yellow River......

She sings, turns around, and strikes the drumstick in her hand, sometimes jumping, sometimes spinning, sometimes beating the drum.

Suddenly, she leaped and grabbed the red ribbon in the air, and the drumstick in her right hand struck to the right and spun in a circle in the air, and the drumstick in her left hand struck to the left and also spun in a circle. At this moment, she sang to the point of hatred, and how many siblings were buried in the land of the long knife......

When she sang this, everyone present was moved, especially those who had fought with the enemy on the battlefield and witnessed the bloody scenes on the battlefield, their faces couldn't help but be full of grief, and some even left tears, saying that men don't flick when they have tears, just because they are sad.

At the end of the song, Zhen Rong knelt down abruptly, and kept beating towards the war drums, singing the last word, and when she sang "He", the drumsticks of both hands flew to both sides, and the force struck it, making two "dong dong" sounds, which ended.

Then, when Zhen Rong saw everyone's faces full of excitement, even her royal brother stood up from his seat in shock, and the others did the same.

I saw a smile on my face and whispered, "The third sister is here, I wish the imperial brother a victory in the first battle, and I wish Lan Guoguo peace and security." ”

After saying this, everyone clapped their palms and looked at me with admiration. And I'm new to the Water Moon Pavilion.

Sima Xunye's face was full of excitement, "Third sister, your dancing is so good, your song is so good, your gift today is too precious, the second brother is very happy, you say, what do you want?" The second brother will give it to you. ”

Zhen Rong had a smile on her face and a coquettish voice, "Second brother, today's dance and music are originally prepared for you, how can you ask for something?" Besides, the third sister lacks nothing, so there is no need for gifts. ”

Sima Xunye smiled and said, "Okay then! What you want, I will say today and count. ”

After Sima Xunye finished speaking, I nodded with joy on my face.

Next, everyone was watching the performance, and they were already out of interest, they had already been impressed by the princess's dance just now, so they were still in the mood to watch others.

Wan Qin, who was sitting in the first position on the left, stared at Zhen Rong with his eyes, and looked at Lord Guan who was sitting in the past, Li Muhan. A man of twenty-seven or eighteen was also shocked by the song sung by the princess at this moment, and was excited by his dance.

Li Muhan is the son of Li Can, the former general manager of Caiguguan, and after Li Can's death, his son, who had followed him for many years, inherited the position of general guan. The martial arts are extremely high, and so is the strategy of war, and no one is unconvinced.

At the beginning, Ye Han was defeated and ran away, but he retreated to the city, persisted for a month, and finally waited for the second brother's army. If it weren't for him, I'm afraid that this grain valley pass would have been occupied by foreign tribesmen.

Then, the banquet was declared over, and everyone left one after another.

At this time, Sima Xunye ordered, "General Wan, escort the princess back to the room." And he was going to the study to review the urgent memorabilia sent by the court.

Although in the palace, he ordered his eldest son to supervise the country and the prime minister to assist, but there were some things that they couldn't decide, so they had to rush eight hundred miles and send them to the front line, let me decide.

The second brother tied his cloak to me, and guessed that he would leave with his heart.

Zhen Rong told Yu Xuan and the two of them to go to sleep, and she was escorted by Wan Qin. The two of them were walking on the road at the moment, relatively speechless.

In fact, Wan Qin has a lot of things to say, but he doesn't know where to start, so he keeps saying and stopping.

Seeing him like this, Zhen Rong suddenly stopped, but Wan Qin was thinking about something else, and he didn't pay attention, and suddenly hit me, almost knocking me down, but fortunately he caught me.

When I stood up, he found that he was holding my hand, and immediately let go of my hand like a hot potato, with a face full of reproach, "I'm sorry for the general, no, it's the general who is sorry for the princess, and I ask the princess for forgiveness." "He's already incoherent.

Seeing him look so stupid, Zhen Rong burst out laughing.

"Look at you're scared, I don't blame you, I just stopped to ask what you want to say to me."

At this moment, the moon was hanging high, and there was a sound of silence all around, only to see Wan Qin's mouth open and closed, wanting to say but not daring to say it, Zhen Rong had no choice but to say: "Then if you don't say it, I'll leave." Zhen Rong thought that he was going to talk about the front line, but the second brother didn't say anything to me. But he never expected that what he wanted to say was, princess, the last general likes you, since the first time he escorted the princess, the princess said that, the last general has liked the princess.

At this time, after I turned around, suddenly, he grabbed my hand and said eagerly, "Don't go, princess, the last general, the last general...... Zhen Rong turned her head.

I only listened to him and said, "Princess, the last general, the last general likes the princess, since the first time I escorted the princess to the Chu State, after the princess said that sentence, the last general has liked the princess, the last general knows that she is not worthy of the princess, the princess is the lady of the sky, and the last general is just a small general, so the last general does not expect the princess to love me, I just hope that the princess can be safe and happy, and this is enough." ”

After hearing his words, Zhen Rong was extremely shocked, "You, you ......" He didn't know what words to use to persuade him, after all, it was difficult for him to give up. Because I used to be the same, I also liked the platform, and finally wanted to give up, and it took a long time. I just hope he can think about it slowly! Let go of feelings for me.

I withdrew my hand from his hand, and then, looking at him, I gently persuaded, "You want to open up something yourself, don't be persistent, don't be stupid." ”

I turned and walked forward, and he followed me in disappointment, escorting me. Although he knew that even if he said it, nothing would change, but if he didn't say it, he kept hiding, and one day, he would be driven crazy. Therefore, it is better to say it, even if there is no result, at least I have the courage to dare to say it, but I am still very lost and heartbroken!
