Chapter 46: The Musician

When the man in white stepped into the main hall, a gust of fresh wind also entered the main hall, swept through the smoky copper dome, and brought the smell of incense into every corner of the main hall.

The white-clothed man with a stunning appearance walked into the center of the main hall as if he was stepping on the breeze and mist, and bowed to Murong You and the Empress Dowager in front of him: "Cao Min Rong Xiuyuan sees the Holy Lord and the Empress Dowager. ”

"No courtesy."

Immediately, Rong Xiuyuan sat on the stool brought to her by the palace maid and began to pluck the strings under her fingers.

"Bang", the first piano sounded. Immediately after, the melodious sound of the piano slowly flowed under the man's slender fingertips. The sound of the piano is as soft and boneless as water, as if it is the green water that crosses the green mountains, the green and the green are blended, cutting away the cold feeling of freezing, letting the gentle breeze linger on the main hall, everyone's hearts are gradually relaxed in the sound of the piano, and even the body is getting lighter and lighter.

The incense from the stove wafted through the air, allowing the smoke to surround the entire hall. White wisps of green smoke linger around everyone's body, making people feel as if they are on top of floating clouds, entangled by fairy energy. Gradually, the sound of the piano changed from slow to urgent, and the tight rhythm had a deep magic that made everyone indulge in it.

Immersed in the sound of the piano, Jian Xiaozhu only felt that she seemed to be stepping into a fairyland with the sound of the piano. It's smoky, fragrant, and full of flowers. On the emerald green branches, birds chirped, and fairy beasts jumped happily between the branches. And among the mountains in the distance, a fairy dressed in white is stepping on the clouds, with a smile like a spring breeze on his face.

Until the end of the song, the sound of the piano stopped abruptly, and everyone was still immersed in the sound of the piano, unable to relax for a long time.

"Good!"

The first to ease his mind was Murong Yi, who clapped his hands and said loudly: "It's really like what Brother Yuan Heng said, it's like a heavenly sound." ”

While Murong Yi spoke, everyone also eased their minds from the sound of the piano. And Rong Xiuyuan, who had been keeping his head down, raised his eyes and looked in the direction where Murong Yi was when he spoke, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he returned to a calm and calm look.

And Jian Xiaozhu, who was relieved, seemed to wake up from a dream, and looked at Rong Xiuyuan who was standing in the middle of the main hall in surprise. She was sure that when she heard the sound of the piano, she did see a hallucinatory scene like she was in a fairyland.

Jian Xiaozhu remembered that she had read it on Weibo that eating poisonous mushrooms would see elves. However, at this moment, in Rong Xiuyuan's piano sound, Jian Xiaozhu saw fairy beasts and fairies. This surprised her that Rong Xiuyuan's piano sound was like a poisonous mushroom, which made people hallucinate, which was really powerful and terrifying.

The Empress Dowager was obviously moved by the sound of the piano played by Rong Xiuyuan, and she applauded: "The grass people Rong Xiuyuan has exquisite piano skills, outstanding talents, and has many rewards for passing on the instructions of the mourning family!" ”

Rong Xiuyuan kowtowed calmly: "Empress Dowager Xie." ”

"Throne!"

The Empress Dowager asked Rong Xiuyuan to sit next to Yuan Heng and eat with the nobles in the palace. But Rong Xiuyuan said: "The grass people have a low status, and they really dare not ......."

The Empress Dowager interrupted him: "There is nothing to dare. Bai Guifei used to be a singer, but now she is also sitting in this palace with everyone? ”

Murong You's face changed, and Bai Ningshuang's face turned even paler in an instant. And thinking of something, the Empress Dowager said to Murong You beside her: "Emperor, we Dongyuan have also prepared a program to help the fun, the mourning family is looking forward to it, I don't know if I can compete with this musician." ”

After that, the Empress Dowager glanced at Bai Ningshuang again, intentionally or unintentionally, and then said, "Don't lose our Dongyuan's face." ”

Murong You's tone was firm: "Imperial grandmother, the son thinks that it won't." ”

After that, Murong You looked at Bai Ningshuang worriedly. After all, Rong Xiuyuan's piano skills are really amazing, and he is a genius that is rare to see in a hundred years. Even though Bai Ningshuang has attainments in dance and music, compared to Rong Xiu, it is still a little worse.

However, Bai Ningshuang was not timid, but looked at Murong You confidently and nodded slightly to him. Then, Bai Ningshuang raised her head, walked out of the banquet, and bowed to Murong You and the Empress Dowager: "The performance of the emperor, the emperor's grandmother, and the concubines may have to be displayed outside the palace, and the effect will be better." ”

The Empress Dowager snorted coldly: "So it's a trick." ”

And Murong You said expectantly: "Then the concubine will start performing outside the hall." ”

So Bai Ningshuang walked out of the hall, put on the feather robe prepared for her by Jian Xiaozhu, and started her performance.

Under the night sky, I saw a group of palace maids wearing white feather robes walking into the hall, their arms and waists wrapped with white silk ribbons, and their hands holding colorful brocade walked in. As the musicians played, the ladies threw the brocade into the air, only to see that their bodies lit up with a faint blue light, as if it were a sparkling lake.

And above the lake, there are lotus flowers with pink light. These feather-clad dancers walk above the lake, waving their long sleeves and dancing. Their dancing postures are all choreographed by Jian Xiaozhu according to the folk dance of the Spring Festival Gala in her memory, which is soft and gorgeous.

On the side, the musician was playing the song "Love of Sparrows" taught to them by Jian Xiaozhu. After Jian Xiaozhu saw this performance in the Spring Festival Gala, he was too impressed by this performance, so he learned this piece when he was studying guzheng in the Children's Palace, and he also kept this song in mind.

However, the dance of "Love of Sparrows" is more difficult, and it is difficult for Jian Xiaozhu to copy it in ancient times. So Jian Xiaozhu explained her idea to Bai Ningshuang with her memory, and Bai Ningshuang and the palace maids lined up the dance together. Due to the limited conditions in ancient times, the effect is much worse than the modern original, and even the changes are too great, and it has lost its original feeling.

So Jian Xiaozhu simply changed it drastically, changing the peacock in the original version to a white bird, and the pas de deux that should have been a match for men and women was also changed to a solo dance of Bai Ningshuang. As the musicians sounded the sound of birds, the dancers in feather coats danced like birds with wings spread, and slowly bowed their heads around. As the queen of birds, Bai Frost gradually appeared in the center surrounded by the palace maids, spreading her beautiful wings and dancing above the lake.

As the white frost danced, colored smoke surrounded her. This was created by Jian Xiaozhu using the method of making colored smoke in chemical experiments. The blue light like the surface of the lake under the feet of the white condensation frost is the effect of the blue palace lamp hidden under the white ribbon held up by the palace maid.

At the end of the dance, the dancers danced to the edge, and in the center, there was a golden altar. As the musician's music became more and more compact, something seemed to break through the ground in that jar. With everyone's exclamation, a phoenix appeared in the center of the jar, and then rushed into the sky like a firework, blooming with brilliant light.
