Chapter 61: Performance
[:] November 21, Nangong Qing's twenty-third birthday,[ed]~! Medium @! Text ~ debut
The masters of all palaces, halls, pavilions and pavilions all got up to bathe and dress up, put on new dresses, and brought new and exquisite jewelry with charms and identities, striving to make a good impression on the emperor.
Usually not a festival, unless it is flipped over, otherwise it is impossible to see the emperor, only the emperor can see the emperor on the fifteenth day of the first month, and the others can only wait for the flop, and some can't even turn over once a year and a half.
Therefore, in the imperial garden, where there is a chance to meet the emperor, there will be concubines to visit and play, in order to be a chance encounter.
And today the emperor will definitely come to the harem, how could they let go of this opportunity to see the emperor, and they all tried their best to dress themselves up like no other in the world, so that the emperor fell in love at first sight.
Nangong Qing has never missed a dynasty since he became the emperor, even if he has a cold or something, as long as he can move, he will go to the court, not to mention his birthday.
Therefore, Nangong Qing went to the Jinluan Hall to accept the worship and congratulations of hundreds of civil and military officials according to the usual time of going to the court, and then went to the court as usual, but invited officials above the third grade to enter the palace for a banquet when he retreated.
Of course, the wives of officials above the third rank can also bring their daughters into the palace to celebrate their birthdays and participate in the birthday banquet prepared by the queen's mother.
The birthday banquet was scheduled to be seated at Shen Shi, and Queen Cheng Lingyue set Shen Shi to gather a group of concubines to the Empress Dowager's Cining Palace, and respectfully invited the Empress Dowager to attend.
The birthday feast is set in the open space between the Imperial Garden and the Mirror Lake.
There is an inner lake in the Imperial Garden, the surface of the lake is as flat as a mirror, so it is called Mirror Lake, the lake water is clear and blue, and everything can be reflected on the surface of the lake.
Because it was a fireworks show prepared in the palace for the Wanshou Festival, Queen Cheng Lingyue set this location in order to set off fireworks on the lake, and they would enjoy it by the lake when the time came. Pen '¥' 'Idiot' '¥' in '¥' Wen ~
But because it is November, and the night is cold and blowing, in order to prevent the delicate concubines and ladies from catching a cold, a bamboo shed was specially made, and the gardener was allowed to climb the evergreen vines on the bamboo shed, and I don't know where to find various flowers to decorate it.
When Queen Cheng Lingyue and her entourage came to the flower shed with the Queen Mother, everyone was attracted by this beautiful flower shed, the flower shed was arranged in a zigzag arrangement, the left was the seat of the official, the right was the seat of the official's wife, and the middle was the position of the concubines of the harem.
At this time, several rows of long tables were arranged in the flower shed on the right, and those ladies were seated according to their ranks, and when they reported the arrival of the Queen Mother and others, they all came out to salute and greet him.
Then the queen Cheng Lingyue and the queen mother sat down in the middle of the flower shed.
The position in the center is the emperor, the left and right sides are the positions of the queen mother and the queen, the concubines are in the two wings, from high to low, from the inside to the outside, because the quantile of the cloud dawn is not high or low, it is unfortunate to be arranged at the edge of the position, this position is close to the shed, although there is a bamboo curtain to block the wind, but it is still a relatively cold position, and it is strange to sit on the wind and cold all night.
Yun Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows noncommittally, and sat down with a faint expression, who arranged this position?
Although this position is a good position, whether it is to enjoy the performance or want to show your face in front of the emperor, it is an excellent position.
But there is one thing, in order to show their best side in front of the emperor, who will wear bloated? Everyone can't wait to put on their summer dresses, and in such a tuyere, needless to say, one night, they will get cold for an hour.
This location should not have been arranged in the first place, but now it is arranged, and it is still arranged for Yun Dawn.
Yun Xiaoxiao looked at the opposite side, and the opposite position also sat a Shu Sipin filler, but this charge was not pampered, but according to the seniority, he was promoted to this quantile and was arranged in such a conspicuous position, but showed a happy smile.
The clouds dawn and look at the sky speechlessly, and see if you are still smiling at night.
"Incense, go back and help me prepare a cloak." Yun Xiaoxiao whispered an order to drop incense, and drop incense nodded and sneaked out.
It didn't take long for Nangong Qing, who was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, to lead the civil and military officials to stride in.
In addition to the Queen Mother, everyone got up and shouted Long Live and kowtowed, and then after Nangong Qing and Queen Cheng Lingyue sat down, everyone sat down according to their grades, and the banquet began.
At the beginning, Cheng Lingyue arranged acrobatics and other programs.
What mouth top ladder, drill fire ring, change face, spit fire, somersault, stack arhats, frisbees, climb knife ladders, etc., everyone who watched kept shouting, especially some timid ladies and ladies who climbed the knife ladder, including several concubines, all covered their eyes and did not dare to look.
However, when the continuous cheers of the crowd sounded, they secretly glanced at it, and immediately turned their heads, or secretly peeked through a gap.
These performances were performed until the end of the unitary hour, followed by the performances of the concubines.
"Your Majesty, today all the sisters are preparing their best talents to perform for the emperor to watch, and the emperor must appreciate them." Queen Cheng Lingyue leaned over slightly and smiled and said to Nangong Qing, the voice was not small, and all the concubines could hear it.
"Okay, I'll appreciate it, as long as I perform well, I'll be rewarded." Nangong Qing waved his hand very heroically and said loudly.
"Did you hear it all for a sister? Who's going to be the first to play? The queen turned her head to look around at the concubines on both wings with a smile, and in order to cheer up the first one to play, Cheng Lingyue added, "Whether the first performance is good or not, the palace will have a heavy reward." ”
"Niangniang, it's better for the concubine to be the one who throws bricks and leads the jade, Niangniang's things are good, the concubine is cheeky and decided, you can't fight with me for a sister." Concubine Xu Jinse stood up with a smile, although she was already twenty years old, she was still as innocent and cute as a girl with a pair of big autumn eyes.
It's indescribably cute and delicate, and it's irresistible.
Queen Cheng Lingyue despised her heart, but her face nodded in her direction with grace and affection, "Just you, it seems that this palace is going to bleed again, so you will be the first to perform." ”
Both of them are smiling, looking affectionate, and those who don't know each other think they are good sisters.
Concubine Xu Jinse got the will and retreated to prepare, and it didn't take long for her to change into a set of red Se long-sleeved dresses out, the long skirt dragged the ground, the shoulders were draped with a long scarf, and the long skirt was very fitting, especially the waist was plain with a three-finger-wide belt that exposed her slender waist.
The dance is a dance full of graceful charm, the dance posture is light, elegant, soft, free, because there is a movement of the flying movement, like the flying goose, so the name of the dance.
Concubine Xu Jinse's body is slender and soft, this dance is just right, when she finished performing, there was thunderous applause in the venue, Concubine Xu Jinse smiled on her face and gave a blessing to Nangong Qing, "The concubine would like to congratulate the emperor on his longevity, national peace and security, and body Ti Kangtai with this dance!" ”
"Okay, there's a reward." Nangong Qing laughed.
Then Concubine Xu Jinse returned to her position proudly. 7 [:]
