Chapter 367: The Dress
Not long after, Xiao Yuhong, Empress Dowager Zhao, Meng Yunting and the princesses arrived and sat in the first seat.
As usual, the fruit dim sum is accompanied by vocal music.
Zhong Yuqi didn't eat much today, and seemed to be restraining her diet. Xiao Yulin wanted to feed her several times, but she had no appetite to eat on the grounds that she was tired from climbing the mountain today.
After the performances of the ladies of the various mansions were finished, Zhong Yuqi said to Xiao Yuhong: "Your Majesty, the courtiers know that they have no talent and no virtue, and they are afraid that people will laugh at the Rui Wangfu, saying that there is no talent in the Rui Wangfu. Therefore, today's courtiers brought a song girl into the palace to perform, so that she could earn some face for the Rui Wangfu. ”
Xiao Yuhong naturally didn't refuse, and said: "Everyone has their own strengths, Princess Rui can't sing and dance, and no one will laugh at Rui's mansion." Zhang Ruliu can sing and dance, and in the future, you Rui Wangfu will have people to perform. Since you brought someone into the palace today, let her show off her talents! ”
"Yes! The man was already waiting in the side hall, and the courtesy ordered her to be called. ”
Subsequently, Zhong Yuqi asked Qiu Shi to summon Wu Yue'er.
Not long after, Wu Yue'er walked into the hall in a red robe, as if a fairy floated into the hall from outside the door, and there was a faint smoke around her body.
Wu Yue'er raised her sleeves to cover her face, and she couldn't see what she looked like. However, looking at the figure, it should indeed be a wonderful person.
When the vocal music started, Wu Yue'er sang first. The voice, like a spring flowing through the hearts of the people, made people feel refreshed when they heard it.
Then, Wu Yue'er flicked her sleeves and revealed her face.
It's just that her face is covered with a veil, and she still can't see what she looks like. I could only vaguely see that behind the veil was a stunning face.
Unlike other songs in the past, where women danced weakly, Wu Yue'er danced very powerfully, but without losing the "softness" of the dance, and the songs she sang in her mouth were also fast-paced.
Wu Yue'er waved her robe, and the light veil on her face was brought up. Before the true face was revealed, the light yarn had already fallen again. Cycle.
Everyone kept changing positions, hoping to catch a glimpse of the woman. However, the most they could see was the woman's lips, and beyond that, they couldn't see anything.
Xiao Yuhong had never seen such a song and dance, and he was very curious, and he couldn't help but focus his eyes on Wu Yue'er. Looking at Wu Yue'er's dancing, Xiao Yuhong's heart was also eager to know what this woman looked like.
Zhang Luyao still did not attend today according to the usual practice, otherwise, with her thoughts, she would definitely be able to see that Xiao Yuhong had some meaning to Wu Yue'er.
Huo Mengluo's face showed disdain, but she was actually so jealous in her heart. This Wu Yue'er not only dances novelly, but also sings and dances so well.
Meng Yunting is on the side of King Rui's Mansion, so she has no hostility towards Wu Yue'er. On the contrary, she also admires Wu Yue'er.
Needless to say, the Empress Dowager Zhao came out of King Rui's Mansion and was always good. Except for Zhong Yuqi. Therefore, Empress Dowager Zhao always had a smile on her face.
After the song, Wu Yue'er ended the dance with a rotating and landing posture, and the wide robe formed a good-looking circle on the ground. Then, Wu Yue'er got up, bowed her head and slowly exited the hall.
Everyone's eyes still followed Wu Yue'er, and they couldn't wait for Wu Yue'er to sing and dance again.
Those ladies and ladies naturally have different looks. There are admirers, there are shocks, and there are envy, jealousy and hatred.
Empress Dowager Zhao smiled and said to Xiao Yulin: "King Rui, where did this song girl come from?" ”
Xiao Yulin replied: "Oh! Queen Mother, this is some time ago, the princess bought it from outside. ”
When everyone heard this, some people sighed, some whispered mockery, and everyone talked about it one after another.
Empress Dowager Zhao frowned, and said with some surprise: "Oh? In the past, you didn't have these things in your house, so why did you suddenly have to buy a singing girl from outside? ”
Xiao Yulin glanced at Zhong Yuqi and motioned for her to come out.
Zhong Yuqi said to the Empress Dowager Zhao: "After enlightening the mother, some time ago, the daughter-in-law went to play on the street and met this woman who was selling herself to bury her father. Thinking of her filial piety, the daughter-in-law sent her some silver. However, when the woman received the money from her daughter-in-law, she thought that she was the one of her daughter-in-law, and begged her to take care of her and eat a mouthful. When the courtiers saw that she was pitiful, they accepted her. ”
Zhong Yuqi: "Later, the daughter-in-law saw that this woman had some appearance, and she could also write poems, books, songs and dances, and it was a pity to be a rough girl, so she made her a singing woman." ”
Zhong Yuqi: "In the past, when I entered the palace for banquets, there were talented young ladies in each mansion to display their talents, but there was no one in King Rui's mansion. Therefore, this time when she entered the palace for a banquet, her daughter-in-law brought her and asked her to give it a try, but whether she was in the hall of elegance or not. In the future, if there are guests in King Rui's mansion, she can also be asked to perform to the guests. ”
Empress Dowager Zhao nodded and said, "Hmm! The vision of Rui Wangfu has always been good, and the person chosen is also very good, and he will be rewarded! Qinglian, tell someone to bring some jewelry and give it to the singing woman. ”
"Yes!"
Qinglian answered, then stretched out her hand to summon a palace maid and whispered a few words to her.
The maid answered, turned around and left from the side of the main hall.
Meng Yunting said to Zhong Yuqi: "How can this palace look at it, how can the clothes on the song woman be so familiar?" ”
Zhong Yuqi smiled and said, "Sister-in-law Qiqi, that dress is actually the courtier's. At last year's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, the courtiers wore that dress. The woman had only come to the palace of King Rui a few days ago, and she had no time to make suitable clothes, so the courtesy gave her the clothes to wear. ”
Meng Yunting nodded and said with a smile: "No wonder, this palace looks so familiar." That garment is rare in the world, and the woman who dances in the song is even better. ”
Huo Mengluo said disdainfully: "Huh! How can a master put his clothes on his maidservants to dance? This Princess Rui is still the first one! ”
When Meng Yunting heard this, she was embarrassed for a moment, and she didn't know how to refute Huo Mengluo at this time.
Zhong Yuqi said disapprerovingly: "It was the courtiers who brought the singing woman to perform, if the singing woman earned face for the Rui Wangfu, it would be a good thing." but a garment, and the courtiers could give it to her. ”
Meng Yunting smiled again and said, "Princess Rui is really kind-hearted!" It's just that the clothes were given to Princess Rui by King Rui after all, and Princess Rui lent the song girl to wear it, and that's it. ”
At this time, Huo Benchu said: "Princess Rui's move is for the Rui Palace, which is the style of being a housewife." Huo Guifei is in a high position in the harem, and with this identity, Huo Guifei not only has to maintain the face of the royal family, but also set an example for the harem concubines, and everything must be royal first. ”
