Chapter 224: The Inexplicable Emperor
The music stopped abruptly, the seven "fairies" on the stage ended their postures on the stage, some of them put their hands together, the treasure was solemn, some of them crossed their left legs on their right legs and pinched their lotus fingers, some stood upright, their right hands were lightly lifted to pilllow their faces on it and their eyes were slightly squinted, some of them were half-squatting, their hands were obliquely opened, their palms were down, and their bodies were leaning forward to make a flying shape, in short, the postures were different, but they were harmonious and unified, as if they were fairies flying out of the stone wall of Dunhuang.
As the music was put away, the scenery on the stage was withdrawn, the dancers retreated, and everyone was still immersed in the shock just now, and they couldn't recover for a long time.
I don't know who cheered first, only to wake up everyone in the audience, and then the quiet stage applauded and cheered warmly, which lasted for a long time.
This dance is novel and has an endless aftertaste. Close your eyes, as if the graceful dance of the dancer just now is still lingering in front of you. This dance does not have the subtle and complex style of the Central Plains, but is full of exotic sexy, seductive and even mysterious and provocative feelings.
Every move of the dancer is as elegant and chic as the fairy in the mural. The dancers' costumes are also bold and exposed, and the makeup is delicate and flying, and even the seven dancers have small thoughts on their ankles. Although the dancers are only on the lotus stage, they have been doing various movements at fixed points, but each person has a small bell tied to their left leg, and with the dancers' movements, the bell is crisp and pleasant, as if there is a kind of magic sound piercing the ear, which makes people unconsciously lose their minds and attract them.
Song Yi had expected this reaction from everyone early on. This novel, exotic dance is sure to be refreshing and popular.
Moreover, Song Yi knew that the people of the Qian Dynasty admired Buddhism, and the Queen Mother was also a person who believed in Buddhism, so she thought that when she watched the Spring Festival Gala in the past, there was a dance performance, which used some kind of mechanism to fix the dancer's right foot on the stage, and then let the dancer stay in place and change various postures. Song Yi still remembers that when he first watched this dance, he was still very young, but the shocking feeling has always been fresh in his memory, and he has never forgotten it until this moment.
"Okay, it's really a special gift" Over the years, Empress Dowager Pang has received many valuable gifts and seen a lot of strange dances, but she has never seen such a novel and ingenious dance.
Originally, when she knew that Song Yi would prepare a special program, to be honest, she didn't have too many expectations, but today she watched seven dancers dance, and even the well-informed Empress Dowager Pang felt that this dance was "only because it is in the sky, and it is rare to hear it in the world".
In the fog just now, the seven female dancers whose appearance was obscured by the scarf, although they only showed their eyes, made people feel extremely charming. They stepped on the rhythm of charm, swaying their slender and slender waists, although the upper body has been doing all kinds of movements, but the magic is that no matter how big the dancers move, the lower plate does not move at all, there is a wonderful feeling of breaking free from the ascension but not getting rid of it.
Empress Dowager Pang, like everyone else, was very curious about how such a dance was arranged.
"Queen Mother, I also borrowed your light today to watch a wonderful performance. This dance is a birthday gift for Princess An Le, and I am a little curious, how did she come up with the idea of choreographing this dance like this? ”
The emperor spoke, and of course Song Yi didn't dare not answer.
Song Yi bowed, and then replied, "Long live Hui, Queen Mother." This dance is called "Flying Heaven", which is based on the "Flying Fairy" picture on the stone wall of Dunhuang in the Western Regions. Song Yi knew that the Queen Mother was a believer in Buddhism, so she specially choreographed this dance as a birthday gift for the Queen Mother."
"Good, good, good" Empress Dowager Pang said three good words in a row, which shows her love for this "Flying Sky" dance.
"The real princess has a heart, and the mourning family is very happy. However, I just saw the dancers on stage, no matter what they do, they don't move, as if they have grown on the stage, how do you do this? Empress Dowager Pang looked at Song Yi with a smile and asked what everyone was puzzled about.
Song Yi smiled and replied, "Back to the Queen Mother, of course the dancer did not grow up on the stage, but because of the lotus platform." Because this dance is based on the Buddhist "Flying Fairy" diagram, when I was rehearsing the dance, I borrowed the elements of the Buddha sitting on the lotus platform to create this huge lotus platform, which can not only be used as a stage for dancers to perform, but also ensure the stage effect of my dance."
"At the beginning of the design, I wanted the dancers to feel like they were about to fly like the people in the picture, so I nailed seven iron rods to the lotus platform and tied the dancer's right leg to the iron rod to maintain balance. In this way, no matter how the dancer moves, because his right leg is fixed on the stage, he has the illusion that the upper body is graceful and the lower body is as stable as Mount Tai. Coupled with the vastness of the smoke on the stage and the foil of exotic music, it has the effect it has now."
Song Yi said the truth, and everyone had a feeling of sudden enlightenment.
Emperor Zhao Pang De seemed to like this dance very much, and an expression of appreciation appeared on his face.
"Well, the real princess is really smart. Even the congratulatory gift to the Queen Mother is so ingenious. Queen Mother, what do you think? ”
"What the Emperor said is very true. The gift of the real princess won my heart, and it was the most satisfying gift that the mourning family received this year."
The Queen Mother also saw what the emperor meant, and she really liked this dance, so she said.
"Okay, the real princess has a meritorious dance. I want to reward him heavily" The emperor was happy, and no one stopped him from doing anything. Besides, this dance presented by the True King's Mansion is indeed gorgeous, and no one has any objections.
"The real princess is ingenious, even if she is physically inconvenient now, she can still give this wonderful performance, which can be described as well-intentioned." The Emperor spoke, thoughtfully, as if thinking about something, and then said, "Otherwise, I will reward you with two dancing girls." It is a relief to make you bored, and it can also take care of the real king when you are inconvenient."
The emperor's words made Song Yi startled, where is this reward, this is obviously a punishment, right?
What do you want to do with the two dancing girls in the real palace? Do you think your husband and wife are too happy?
Song Yi looked up at the emperor on the stage, and saw that his eyes were looking at him intently, Song Yi had a feeling of having nothing to hide, as if he had the illusion of being oppressed.
Song Yi didn't know that the emperor was obviously smiling, but there was still a feeling in his eyes that made him uncomfortable.
The queen mother, the noble concubine and the concubine Qi and others next to them all showed gloating expressions, Song Yi didn't know what medicine was sold in the emperor's gourd, and was trying to find a reason to refuse.
The real king got down from the seat, came to Song Yi's side, and said to the emperor on the stage, "Your Majesty, it is enough to have a real princess." The others, they don't have to send them to the True King's Mansion anymore."
Zhu Xi said this bluntly, and the others were silent and did not dare to speak.
"What does the real princess mean?"
"Long live, the concubines listen to the prince"
The emperor's face sank, but he quickly changed his smile and said, "Since the true king and the princess have said so, it will be too difficult for me to reward the dancing queen again." But the reward of the true princess is indispensable."
The emperor suddenly changed his mind again, which made the second monk Song Yi confused. The true king on the side knew that this was just a warning from the emperor to himself.
As for why the emperor deliberately rewarded the two dancing girls of the True King's Mansion in front of everyone, no one else knew except the emperor and the true king.
Song Yi broke out in a cold sweat, I don't know how a good person could be frightened by this today.
How could the emperor inexplicably think of rewarding the dancing girl to enter the real palace? Song Yi felt that there must be something between the emperor and the true king.
But now it is the queen mother's birthday banquet, and in full view of everyone, Song Yi can't immediately ask the true king.
