Chapter 10: Peony

"Miss Duanmu's birthday gift is an embroidered picture." Aunt Nanzhu's voice was unhurried, with a bit of palace-like rigidity, as if all the aura had been absorbed by this palace.

"Oh?" The queen seemed to be very interested, "The embroidery skills of the eldest princess of Zhaoming were famous all over the world back then, I don't know how Miss Duanmu compares!" ”

"The queen mother is inevitably a little too strong, Zhaoming's aunt's embroidery skills are only unmatched at that time, Miss Duanmu is only twelve years old, where can she compare with the emperor's aunt."

It was the second prince who spoke, with a gentle but serious expression on his face, but the slightest ridicule in his eyes fell on Duanmu Qing's face without leaving a trace.

It seems that there are many people who want her to be uneasy!

This is not difficult to understand, if there is no Duanmu Qing's mother and daughter, Li Ningshuang would naturally be the wife of the Yongding Marquis Mansion, and according to their aunt relationship, the Yongding Marquis Mansion would naturally be a strong supporter of his second prince.

"How ......"

In the silence, Duanmu Zi's sudden exclamation was a little abrupt, but her voice was suddenly cut off again, obviously Li Shi stopped her.

Everyone's eyes turned to them, and they all had some questions, and they didn't understand why she suddenly screamed.

Duanmu Zi's face was sneering, and he blushed and said, "I have always known that my sister's embroidery skills are very good, but I have never seen such a beautiful work, so I exclaimed." ”

This sentence is also true, of course Duanmu Zi doesn't know, because this is not the Duanmu Qing embroidery she knows, but a work with two lifetimes of experience.

There was silence in the pavilion for a while, until the emperor spoke, "I and Princess Zhaoming grew up together, and I thought that no one could beat me in embroidery skills, but I didn't want Miss Duanmu to have this attainment at a young age, which is really good. ”

I saw that on the embroidered cloth of Zhangkuan, a bright moon shined in the faint clouds, and below the embroidery was a quiet mountain village, occasionally a little light, but it was hazy and not clear in the moonlight.

Only a clump of peonies blooming in the lower right corner, with crystal dewdrops, is as beautiful and dignified as jade under the moon, making people unable to take their eyes off.

After all, embroidery is not a painting, the more you want to be realistic, the more complex and delicate all the colors will be, such as this picture, just cyan, Duanmu Qing used sixteen kinds of embroidery thread.

"Your Majesty Xie praises, the queen mother is beautiful and fragrant, like a bright moon, bless me Xiqi people are happy and peaceful, Duanmu Qing wishes the queen mother to live forever." Duanmu Qing is neither humble nor arrogant, his words are generous, and he bows down slowly.

Over there, Li's mother and daughter were white for a while, and Duanmu Zi's eyes were about to burst into flames, obviously what they sent over was "Phoenix Dance Nine Days", how could it become this "Peony Under the Moon"?

Everyone knows that Pang Xinru's painting skills are unique, if they are discovered, Duanmu Zi's embroidery is the same as Pang Xinru's, how can this crime of stealing other people's works be able to escape, how can it be?!

The next one is Duanmu Zi, Duanmu Qing gently returned to his seat, but when he passed by Duanmu Zi's seat, he said in a voice that only two people could hear: "I remember your stroke, the traces of the nine days of Feng Wu, you didn't leave it!" ”

Looking at her white-washed face, Duanmu Qing's face was silent, and he sat firmly in his seat, fortunately, he had an eye at that time, and found that it was not the ordinary "Ten Thousand Lights" in his previous life, so he simply changed the painting.

I was a little apprehensive when Duanmu Qing said something in my heart, and I didn't come back to my senses until Li reminded me.

Trying to stabilize his mind, a little embarrassed blush appeared on Duanmu Zi's face, "Queen Mother, the birthday gift given to you by the courtier, I'm afraid it's not easy to take out at this time." ”

"What does that mean?" It was the fifth prince Zhao Yuxuan who spoke, from the first moment he walked into the Water Pavilion, he noticed Duanmu Zi, although he looked young, but such a beautiful face attracted people to take their eyes off.

Duanmu Zi naturally noticed this, and the shyness on his face was even more moving, but he still couldn't say it.

Li on the side had a smug smile on his face, but he showed an apologetic look, "Concubine Rong returned, I thought it was just a banquet for the ladies and ladies, and the second lady made a dance to celebrate the queen's birthday, but now it's ......."

As he spoke, his embarrassed face turned around on the faces of the princes and princes.

Seeing the excited look on the queen's face, the emperor laughed loudly: "I want to be very brave with Uncle Yongding, before standing up for a million heroes, how could I have the slightest fear, Miss Duanmu Er is a person from Yongding Houfu, how can she be so cowardly?" ”

Hearing this, Duanmu Zicai went down to change his dance skirt and came in style.

Suddenly, everyone's eyes lit up, the pink dance skirt, glowing with pearl luster, from the knees to the feet, layer upon layer, just like the lotus leaves in the fields outside the pavilion.

The wide sleeves of water were wrapped with water-red ribbons, like an immortal in the fluttering wind.

The pink peach cheeks are as warm as jade under the black green silk, and the slender neck is as beautiful as a grub under the shining clothes, which makes people forget the vulgarity, and they dare not breathe loudly, lest they wake up this dream-like beauty.

Duanmu Qing glanced at everyone's reactions lightly.

The second prince Zhao Yuxing couldn't help but show a surprised look in his eyes, Zhao Yufeng couldn't hide that hint of heartbeat, the fifth prince Zhao Yuxuan's eyes were straight, and the eighth prince had a faint smile on his face, with a taste of appreciation, but he looked generous and upright.

On the contrary, his face was full of smiles, but his eyes were thoughtful.

Li Ouyan and Qi Ming looked even more sluggish, there are many beauties in Tianjing, but in the harem, it is nothing, and Duanmu Zi's beauty is beyond the reach of the concubines.

Duanmu He's face was indifferent, even the smile became a little boring, and when Duanmu Qing looked at him, he happened to meet his turned gaze.

But he felt that there was some comfort in his eyes, and he couldn't help but be stunned, and then he understood that he was worried that she was secretly sad because of Duanmu Zi's covering!

This second brother! Duanmu Qing couldn't help but laugh in his heart, picked up the fruit wine in front of him, smiled and shook it lightly over there, and sure enough, seeing him show a relieved look, he also picked up the wine glass.

The musicians who had been arranged in the pavilion began to play music slowly, but they did not feel complicated, but it was a kind of leisurely and leisurely pastoral music.

With the clear water and blue sky and the purple and colorful lotus costumes of Duanmu, they really complement each other.

Under the amazed gaze of everyone, one person clenched the handkerchief in his hand tightly, and his long nails pierced his palms painfully.

With a wave of the water sleeves, Duanmu Zi danced with the rhythm, and the dance steps under his feet were fast, but he didn't feel in a hurry, and the dance clothes on his body swayed with his posture, swaying like a lotus, and beautiful like a lotus.

Tiny white pearls on the hair are complemented by the pearlescent dress, creating a room of brilliance.

The soft waist, dexterous limbs, twisting like water, light as a swallow, coupled with the delicate state of a girl, how can people not be moved.

As the rhythm increased, Duanmu Zi rotated faster and faster, and a dance skirt also rotated, and everyone couldn't see the dancing person at this time, only feeling that thousands of peonies were blooming enthusiastically, swaying shyly.

Even the princes who had seen all kinds of dances were shocked by this dance, and they all looked at it dumbfounded, speechless.

At the end of the dance, Duanmu Zi fell to the ground lightly with his rotating body, slowly raising his head, smiling delicately, "The name of this dance of the courtiers is like a peach peony, scorching its glory, the real national color, the phoenix is shocking." ”

The queen was obviously very happy, and the rewards were endless, and the princes below also had amazing faces, not to mention the two sons of the family.

Duanmu Zi stepped back with a smile, carried his back to his superior, and glanced at Duanmu Qing proudly, listening to her words just now, I thought she would do something, but it turned out that it was just to scare people.

Duanmu Qing had a faint smile on his face, and he couldn't see any expression, as if he didn't care about this matter at all.

When the Li family saw the appearance of the queen and the princes, they were naturally full of joy, and they also pretended to glance at Duanmu Qing casually, but a fierce light flashed under their eyes.

Duanmu Qing, who had been paying attention to their movements for a long time, did not let go of this look, there was no trace on the surface, but he was secretly attentive.

I saw a little girl next to Concubine De nodded her head invisibly, and Duanmu Qing's lips also hooked a trace of mockery.

"Huh? Crane! The little princess Jingyi, who was sitting on the side, suddenly screamed in a milky voice.

When everyone heard this, they all looked out, and sure enough, they saw that in the middle of the lotus leaves of the Yuye Pond, two white cranes danced with their necks crossed, fluttering their wings, and in the sun, a piece of white flowers fell in the blue lotus pond, like the bright moon in the night sky.

Everyone knows that there are cranes in the palace, but they have never seen such a scene, and the cranes have always been regarded as immortal things, and this is clearly auspicious.

So the emperor led everyone forward to watch, and for a while the praise continued.

It wasn't until the two cranes left that everyone returned to their seats, and with this episode, the emperor was obviously very interested, so he led everyone back to the table.

"Today coincides with the queen's birthday, I have seen the unique birthday gifts of the daughters, and there are cranes coming to the court, which is really auspicious." As he spoke, he raised his glass and invited everyone to drink.

"Oops!" Suddenly, Concubine Shu screamed, causing everyone to look sideways.

The emperor, who was originally very happy, was slightly displeased because of this.

"Back to the emperor, Xu smelled the fragrance of fruit wine, just now a fruit fly flew on the wine glass of Concubine De, and the concubine was startled when she saw that Concubine De was about to drink it." Concubine Shu's face turned crimson, and she pointed to the wine glass of Concubine De next to her, and said a little shyly.

Frightened by the concubine, the fruit fly had already flown away.

Hearing her say this, the emperor was unimpressed, and drank the wine in the cup.

"!" The palace maid behind Concubine Shu suddenly stopped loudly.
