Chapter 17: The Phoenix Fairy

Yongxuan kowtowed and replied: "Huang Ama, the sons have been reluctant to marry the main family for many years because they can't feel love. And today I don't want to marry because I feel love. In Erchen's heart, that title is the love that Erchen has always guarded, and Erchen is unwilling to give it to someone he doesn't love. The sons are willing to be punished! ”

"The Emperor ······ Ama" When Qianlong was about to get angry, Yongyan quickly ran off the stage, knelt down in front of Qianlong, and continued: "Huang Ama, the seventeenth brother is not disrespectful, but the son once made fun of the seventeen brothers' concubines too many concubines, and made a bet with him, if he does not marry in the house within three years, he will give him the red rabbit horse that has followed the son for many years!" Erchen was just on a whim at that time, but he never thought that the seventeenth brother would be so serious for a red rabbit horse. It's still strange for this matter, and I ask the emperor to punish him! Yongyan whispered in Yongxuan's ear, "If you want her to die, deny what I said." ”

"It's worth three years of gambling for a horse. Ha ······" Qianlong smiled, and everyone followed suit, covering up the gloomy undercurrent just now. I glanced at Yongyan, who was smiling at the corner of his mouth, and today I was able to truly realize that his wisdom could be kept quiet. And Yongxuan, the laughter of the past is no longer a little gone, his face changed, and he still wanted to speak, Qianlong glanced at him lightly, Yongxuan looked at me sideways, and swallowed the words back. I breathed a deep sigh of relief in my heart, fortunately he didn't speak, otherwise, Qianlong would definitely punish me severely, give me a fox at will, a private meeting, and seduce any crime, it will only backfire at that time, and the life that I finally saved will definitely not be saved.

I looked at Yongxuan's pale and even bloodless worried face, but he didn't forget to look at me with composure when he got up. I stopped looking at him. At this moment, my whole person is relaxed, although I am standing outside, I feel that the autumn breeze that was originally slightly biting has also become gentle.

Everything is back to the beginning of the bustle, the sky has entered the evening, the lanterns are all lit up in an instant, the night through the lanterns emit red bright light, transformed into a blurred ocean blue, a bright moon seems to rise slowly from the sea, the dancing girl on the stage is covered with a thin veil, light blessing body, the cloud sleeves waved, put on the dance of the phoenix dance, with the musician's music, the dancing girl raised her hand, the brocade danced, the golden sky, everyone seemed to see a phoenix independent of the heaven and earth, under the bright moon. With the nobility of looking down on the common people, not stained with dust. She walked step by step, swaying and fragrant, the golden hairpin swayed slightly, the cloud sleeve long belt danced lightly, the golden skirt began to fly, and everyone's eyes began to fix on her. She is like a frightening dragon, graceful like a dragon, charming and delicate, like Chang'e in the moon, which can't help but make people yearn for it. As a woman, I can't help but feel a little ashamed of myself.

All kinds of piano and drum sounds stopped abruptly, the whole audience can hear the needle dropping, everyone looked up and stared at the phoenix fairy under the moon, in extreme silence, suddenly the flute sounded, everyone's heart was shocked, the shock was undecided, the long and distant voice of the dancing girl was refreshing and penetrating the heart.

The leaves are pale, and the white dew is frost.

The so-called Iraqi people are on the water side.

Tracing back to it, the road is long and obstructive;

Tracing from it, it is like being in the middle of the water.

The leaves are green, and the white dew is not dawning.

The so-called Yi people are in the water of the Mae.

Tracing back to it, the road is blocked and tasted;

Tracing from it, it is like being in the water.

The leaves are picked, and the white dew is not over.

The so-called Yi people are in the water.

Tracing back to it, the road is blocked and right;

Tracing from it, it is like being in the water.

The dancing girl is beautiful to the extreme, charming to the extreme, soft to the extreme, spiritual to the extreme, and the song is lingering to the extreme, affectionate to the extreme. At this moment, no man can resist such a changing woman, of course, even if there are three thousand beauties in the harem, Qianlong, who is over seventy years old, will not be an exception.

I looked around, only to see Qianlongye's face full of color and soul, although I couldn't see the expression of the eighth elder brother, but I could see his mouth slightly open on the oblique side. I must have been surprised. The eleventh elder brother's body leaned forward slightly, Yongxuan looked down at the ground the whole time, and the corners of Yongyan's mouth were involved in a hint of nonchalant smile. I looked sideways at Ama beside me, with an eyebrow-opening look, the corners of my mouth slightly raised, and the joy of appreciation, following Amma's gaze, I saw Qianlong's smile opening up rather than the stage. I couldn't help but smile bitterly, it seems that for today, Ama has been thinking about it for a long time, and I am not alone in the chess piece.

After the dance music on the stage, the audience was very quiet. When Mai Ji stopped spinning and fell on the stage in her last prostrate position, no one made a sound, and all that could be heard was the sound of people's heavy breathing. After a while, the applause rang out, and Qianlong praised and sighed that the fairy on the stage was reborn like a phoenix, which was beautiful! The concubine who came back to her senses looked at the dancing girl on the stage with sour eyes, only Concubine Ying's smile was as usual, gentle and graceful.

Ama saw the fanaticism in Qianlong's eyes, the effect was unexpectedly good, and I couldn't help but hook the corners of my mouth, all of this was seen in my eyes, there is no doubt that Ama succeeded. sighed that there was another little master in the palace.

The veil-covered dancer slowly took off the veil, and her stunning beauty smiled faintly, as clean and immaculate as a pear blossom, took two steps forward, knelt down and said: "Like the eternity of the sun, like the rise of the moon, like the longevity of Nanshan, it will not collapse." Such as the pine and cypress of the luxuriant, there is no lack or inheritance. The people's daughter Hua Yurong sees the emperor, long live long live long live! ”

Qianlong got up and was supported by the chief eunuch Gao Yu, walked onto the stage, and "raised his head". Hua Yurong slowly raised her head, her hands were like soft wattles, her skin was like clotted fat, her collar was like a grub, her teeth were like a rhinoceros, her head was like a moth, her smile was slight, and her eyes were beautiful. Clear water out of hibiscus, natural carving.

Qianlong couldn't help laughing and said: "The moon is shy of flowers, the powder makeup is jade, and the water is hibiscus." Looking back and smiling, the six palaces have no color. ”

Looking back and smiling, the six palaces have no color. I glanced around the faces and expressions of the concubines in the harem, and Concubine Ying's gentle face couldn't help but add a trace of bitterness. Concubine Rong was even more angry. As for the others, they can only sigh and curse secretly.

The birthday banquet is finally over, and I finally retreat in the seemingly festive banquet, Concubine Ying asked me to stay in the palace for a few days, although Eniang was reluctant, but she couldn't resist Amma's joy. After all, it was another step towards his plan.

After the birthday banquet, I was directly left by Concubine Ying to Concubine Ying's residence --- Chengqian Palace. When I entered the door, two palace maids came forward to greet me. Concubine Ying leaned on the couch and looked at me with a smile.

I blessed: "The slave and maid give the mother a greeting, the mother is auspicious!" ”

Concubine Ying hurriedly said: "Get up quickly, come and sit here in the palace." ”

I half sat on the couch and looked carefully at Yongxuan's adoptive mother, who was wearing a lake-blue embroidered gold cheongsam today, with a white collar, kind eyebrows, meticulous makeup, and a generous attitude without losing her majesty, which made people close and did not dare to lose her dignity. It is slightly different from yesterday's Qianlong's birthday.

Concubine Ying grabbed me: "Yesterday was the emperor's birthday, and it is inconvenient for the palace to ask more, I have been hearing from the old seventeen that you are sick and can't remember the past, what about now?" Still can't remember? The palace will ask the imperial doctor to come over and treat you well, but don't fall into the root of the disease! ”

I replied with a smile: "Xie Niangniang cares, the slave's body is already well, and Ama has also asked the imperial doctor to come to the house for diagnosis and treatment, but I still can't remember the past." ”

Concubine Ying sat up straight as she spoke, looked at me and said, "Now that you are qualified, you are no longer allowed to call yourself a slave." You look really well-behaved and smart, no wonder the emperor loves you so much, no wonder the old ······" Concubine Ying wanted to speak and stopped, and beckoned to a palace maid beside her, a flower letter year, a white and long face, a pair of almond eyes are very smart, the corners of the mouth are slightly raised, saluted, respectful, lowered eyes, stood on the side, hands folded in front of the placket.

Concubine Ying looked at me with a smile and said, "Her name is Shima, and she has been with the palace for seven years. During your time in the palace, Shma will take care of your food and daily life. ”

"Slave Shma, see Lan Yun Gege, Gege auspicious!" Shmafu bowed to me. I hurriedly got up and helped her up, and said with a smile: "Don't be so polite, Lan Yun is still in the palace and will be taken care of by you?" ”

Shima smiled, bowed his head and said, "The slave and maid don't dare, just call the slave and maid Shma." ”

"Which one?" I asked

"Back to Gege, Assorted Mix"

"Shma, what a special name," I chuckled

Concubine Ying was talking unconsciously, it was almost noon, and she could only hear the little eunuch outside: "Brother Seventeen has come to see Niangniang." "I was shocked, and for no reason I was upset.

As soon as the curtain was lifted, Yongxuan stepped into the main hall, and when he saw that I was also there, he was stunned at first, and then smiled softly at me.

"Say hello to Eniang, Eniang is auspicious."

Concubine Ying was overjoyed and said with a smile: "Hurry up, but I just went down to the court, and I came over in court clothes." ”

I stepped down and blessed: "Say hello to the seventeenth elder brother, the seventeenth elder brother is auspicious." ”

Yonglin smiled and helped me up, and said, "Don't be polite." Then he sat down with a smile: "Didn't you just go down to court?" I immediately came over to say goodbye to my mother. After speaking, he raised his hand to drink tea, and suddenly raised his eyes to stare at me, and he immediately lowered his eyes. Just looked at the tea bowl in front of him and was silent. I also lowered my head in a panic, and Concubine Ying hurriedly beckoned the palace maid to serve some snacks when she saw this. Turning around and smiling: "Since we have come today, it is not too late to stay for lunch and leave, and we haven't talked about family affairs for a long time." It just so happens that Lan Yun is welcome to officially move into our Chengqian Palace. ”

Yongxuan smiled lightly and nodded in agreement.
