Chapter 63: Dance
"Your Majesty." Halfway through the banquet, a clear female voice attracted everyone's attention, and the emperor looked at the person who spoke.
"Moon Princess, what's the matter?"
Xun Xiluo Yingying got up and said: "I heard that the Hui Dynasty is a state of music and etiquette before I came to the Great Hui, and I have always liked to dance, so today I specially prepared a dance of our Nanzhao, I want to dedicate it to Your Majesty, and at the same time I want to ask the dancers of the Hui Dynasty for advice or two, I don't know if Your Majesty is willing to fulfill me." ”
"Princess Yuebai has a heart, but is the princess really willing to present a song?" The emperor was also interested, and looked at Xun Xiluo.
"Your Majesty, the concubines have also heard of the wonderful dance of Nanzhao, and they also want to watch it. Since the princess is willing to join in the fun, then we might as well let the princess dance, and the princess wants to ask our Hui Dynasty dancers for advice, then we might as well call out our Hui Dynasty dancers to play together, wouldn't it be more lively and interesting. The queen chimed in.
"Okay." When the emperor heard the empress say this, he also agreed: "Then please ask the princess to perform a dance." ”
"Let me go down and get ready." Looking for the fine Luo Yingying, he smiled and went down to prepare.
Su Bei Kite took a bite of the goose fat roll and thought, the dance of Nanzhao is really fresh, and it is actually good to participate in a palace banquet, the food and drink are good, and there are beautiful and novel performances. This kind of rich and idle life must have been rewarded to her by God for saving so many people in her previous life.
A crisp silver bell crossed the sky, and Xun Xiluo was dressed in a purple gauze skirt and jumped into the Phoenix Terrace with the beat of the drum. She stood on the stage with silver bells tied to her hands and feet, under the purple veil, her black eyelashes were like thick fans, but her eyes were full of mysterious charm like a bonfire, her arms were raised high, her palms swirled upward, and the faster the drum, the faster the silver bells sounded. Her toes were pointed, her waist rotated with her footsteps, her purple gauze skirt bloomed like petals, she turned faster and faster, her gestures changed with the rotation of her body, and her arms evolved into different postures like a thousand-armed Guanyin. Suddenly, there was a beat of the drums, and she froze suddenly, her arms spread like the wings of an egret. The drums continued to sound, the sound of the wind flowing between her skirts and the silver bells tinkling like spring water converged, the sleeves of her shirt fluttered, and she jumped high on her toes, and kicked her legs up, and the hem of her skirt rose like a peacock on the screen.
"Boom." As the last beat of the drum falls, the last action ends perfectly.
The audience erupted in warm applause, and the sound of praise was endless, and Xun Xiluo gasped violently and got up to salute.
"Good, good, it's so exciting." The emperor praised.
"I have long heard that Nanzhao dance is famous, and it is better to see it than to hear it." The queen chimed in.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your praise." Xun Xiluo also took off the veil and saluted the emperor and queen: "I have already performed a dance, and I don't know who the emperor is going to send to have a fight with me." ”
The queen thought about it, looking for a fine dance is a must, it is necessary to pick a top dance in the palace may be able to overpower her, the best dance in the palace is Hu Meier of the Teaching Workshop Division, although this girl usually wants to climb up, but the dance skills are indeed a must, and it is appropriate to send her up.
"Go and call Hu Mei'er." The queen instructed the maids beside her.
The maid came back after a while: "Niangniang, the teacher said that Hu Mei'er didn't pay attention to his feet when he just got off the field, and he fell crookedly and sprained his foot. ”
"What? Twisted foot? The queen frowned: "It's useless." ”
"What's wrong, Queen?" The emperor saw that the empress looked wrong, and turned his head and asked.
"Back to the emperor, the dancing girl who is going to play has twisted her feet, I'm afraid she won't be able to play." The queen said.
"Then it's okay to send another one."
The queen leaned close to the emperor's ear and whispered, "The others are not as good as the dancing girl, and I am afraid that they will not be able to compare to the princess of the moon." ”
"That dancing girl has broken her foot, why don't the queen send another person to come, is it possible that in a country as big as the Hui Dynasty, only that one dancing girl can come on the stage." Xun Xiluo stood on the stage and asked.
The queen was also a little anxious, so she whispered to the maid to call a person who jumped almost to come up and replace her.
