Chapter 24: Dancing (1)

Just as I was in a trance, I heard a crisp silver bell, and then I saw the Turkic princess Aziya stand up. She wears a lot of jewelry, and there is always a sound between movements. I saw her smile and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, seeing that you are all dancers of the Celestial Empire now, I wonder if Your Majesty is bored?" I remember that when I was in the grassland before, Your Majesty liked to watch the Hu Xuan Dance very much, and today I am lucky, why don't I let the little girl perform a dance for Your Majesty, so as to show my Turkic determination to be good with the Celestial Empire, how about it?"

Everyone's eyes looked at this beautiful alien girl, and the emperor smiled happily and said: "It's hard for you to be so understanding, Aziya, there are many talented and beautiful women in my harem, since you are willing to dance, is it reasonable for me to be inaccurate?"

Aziya stood up generously, glanced at the orchestra in the palace, and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, although I know that the musicians of the Celestial Empire can also play the music of the Hu Xuan Dance, I am afraid that there are some differences with what Aziya dances, so if Your Majesty does not mind, can you ask Your Majesty to allow our Turkic musicians to accompany you?"

The emperor nodded and said, "It's good if Aziya likes it." ”

He said this very much to the princess, I quickly glanced around, and saw that the faces of everyone in the harem flashed with displeasure.

Aziya spoke a few words of Turkic to one of the Turkic missions, who nodded, went to fetch a cowhide drum, sat down on it, and began to beat it gently.

Then I heard a concubine whispering, "Is there only one Turkic musician she is talking about, one drum?"

Another sneered: "Who knows! A barbarian is a barbarian, and there is probably no decent person or a decent musical instrument! Ha, look at how she dances later, but don't lift a stone and shoot herself in the foot." ”

"Isn't it!"

I pursed my lips and smiled, at this time these two people said disdain, if they saw Aziya's dancing posture later, I am afraid that they will be dumbfounded!

At first, the beat was not fast, and Aziya's dancing did not impress the audience, but gradually, the young messenger who played the drum slowly quickened the beat in his hand, and became light and urgent. At the same time, Aziya spun faster and faster, she was wearing a bright red beard robe, and there were ornaments on her chest and waist, and as she rotated, silver light appeared, and she flew with a bright red color. The white feathers on her head jumped like an elf, and the fluttering braids were moving up and down.

The beat was getting faster and faster, and Azia's spinning speed had reached an alarming level, and everyone's eyes were on the alien girl who was no one in the field. Every cell in her body was jumping and spinning, captivating everyone, including, of course, the Emperor.

His eyes were fanatical, surprised, he probably didn't expect that he was about to have a proud dancer, and in the future, he would be able to watch this passionate dance anytime and anywhere.

My shallow smile is really good, in the future, this Princess Aziya will definitely replace me and become the focus of everyone in the harem.

Azia slowly stopped spinning, and miraculously she didn't get dizzy at all, and walked up to the emperor accurately, poured a full wine glass, and asked the emperor to drink this cup. The emperor laughed heartily, praised her dance for its uniqueness, and drank the wine in his glass. Everyone raised their glasses, and the ministers naturally praised Aziya, and the concubines forcibly endured the vinegar in their chests and did not let the sourness show on their faces.

After Aziya returned to her seat, Concubine Zheng suddenly stood up and smiled at the emperor: "The princess's Hu Xuan dance is really an eye-opener for us! Your Majesty, it is really a blessing for me to have this beautiful woman!"

I had a bad feeling in my heart, and I hurriedly looked up at the woman, just in time to see her look at me with a sneering gaze. I "chuckled" in my heart, and it was the same in my previous life, after Azia danced, she asked me to dance too. However, that's because I've been favored by the emperor before! Only this time, I clearly said that I was sick, and I didn't get the emperor's favor again, so why didn't she let me go!

My heart turned a thousand times, and I heard the emperor smile and ask the concubine: "What good ideas does the concubine have?"

Concubine Zheng Guifei looked at me again and said with a smile: "Even the Turkic princess is willing to dance for the emperor, why don't you also choose one of our sisters as a return gift?"

Everyone was startled, and looked at the emperor one after another, the emperor's expression was calm, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and he said: "I also said that there is no shortage of talented and beautiful people in my harem, so according to the concubine, who will dance?"

Concubine Zheng covered her mouth and chuckled, and said, "The concubine is old and decrepit, so she can't do it, but you can choose one of the younger sisters!"

Wang Meiren immediately said: "Concubine Niangniang, the youngest of us here is Sister Ji!"

Sure enough, it happened to me! I was about to make a resignation, but the concubine didn't give me this opportunity, and nodded hurriedly and said: "Exactly! The concubine also heard that when Sister Ji was at home in the past, she had apprenticed to learn art, and she danced in a neon dress and feather coat, which was amazing!"

Azia asked curiously: "I have also heard of your Celestial Empire's neon dress and feather dance, which was created by an emperor in his sleep, and I have always wanted to see it...... If Sister Ji knows, can she come out and dance?"

I lowered my head and smiled bitterly, even Aziya spoke, I was afraid that even if the emperor had the heart to not let me play, it would be impossible.

However, the queen saw that the emperor had never spoken, so I looked embarrassed again, and persuaded softly: "Ji Meiren's body is just right, so it is not appropriate to be tired." ”

Concubine He also helped: "Exactly, the emperor! Besides, Sister Ji is a concubine of heaven, and there is a foreign minister here, I'm afraid it's not appropriate." ”

Concubine Zheng sneered: "Sister Hefei's words are biased, Sister Ji is a concubine, then Princess Aziya is about to become our sister, every princess in the house can dance, why can't Ji Beauty?" and lowered his head and whispered to the emperor: "Your Majesty, although the Western Turks are subordinate to our dynasty, there is still an Eastern Turk!"

The emperor looked at me and said slowly: "In that case, Ji Meiren, you can dance!"

As soon as the words fell, I looked up and saw the smug and mocking smile on Concubine Zheng's face, the inquiring eyes of the ministers and the Turkic envoys, and the concerned expressions of the fifteen kings...... You can also see the embarrassment on my father's face.

My heart felt as if I had been pricked with a needle, my father, seeing his daughter humiliated by Concubine Zheng and unable to fight back! Seeing that I, like him, had to surrender to the supreme power of the emperor!

I took a deep breath, clenched my fists, and opened them again, smiling gracefully. Out of the ranks, he knelt down and said: "The concubine's neon clothes and feather dance are just learned randomly, where can you get to the hall of elegance? However, the emperor's golden mouth and jade words, the concubines also have to sacrifice ugliness. It's just that Concubine Rong is asked to step back first and change into dance clothes. ”

"Go!" the emperor waved.

I saluted again, quietly retreated, and when I turned around, I heard Zheng Guifei smile and said: "The dance of neon clothes and feathers, as the name suggests, if there is no colorful feather clothes, how can you convey the gods?"
