Chapter 406: Zhang Zhen
The palace people shuttled to present the imperial food in the palace, but at this time, I am afraid that no one has the heart to taste, the first and the third concubine have exchanged a few words, Queen Zhou made a look at An Xia, An Xia understood, stepped forward, and immediately attracted a lot of attention from below, An Xia said clearly: "The queen and the concubine Niangniang, the lady concubine Niangniang, and the Xiuyi Niangniang have a life, only drink tasteless, I don't know which show girl is willing to use her talent to entertain?" ”
As soon as An Xia's words fell, there was a burst of whispering on the table.
Zhang Huan sneered and said to Su Ruhua: "This is a good trick they are good at. ”
The women of the family, raised in their own homes, there are few who do not learn a few hands of chess, calligraphy and painting, speaking of the four of them here today, the identity of the four of them is faintly higher than that of the show girls, but because they are raised in the palace, everything can not be done according to their own wishes, except for Su Ruhui and Liu Xiuyi for two days to learn the piano, the others are gone, the Queen Mother has to look at it differently, and has taught some talents in private......
Su Ruhui smiled indifferently: "Aren't they very good at what they do?" It's also interesting to watch. ”
"Aren't you going up?" Zhang Wei was surprised.
"What am I going up there for? I've only been learning from Xiuyi Niangniang for a few days? Su Ruhui casually swallowed a cherry on the plate, wiped the corner of her mouth with a handkerchief, and then said leisurely, "We are not with them in the seat, why should we be the same as them?" ”
Zhang Wei frowned and thought about it, but quickly let go, nodded and said, "Yes!" ”
There was a moment of discussion among the show girls below, and finally someone was elected to be the first to perform - but to dance.
Su Ruhui and Zhang Huan both stopped talking, turned their heads to look, but it was a girl with her hair combed and fairy buns, dressed in tired silk clothes, looking at her outfit, she also knew that she had been prepared, although the light and soft tulle clothes were not exposed because of the many layers, but not only could not resist the cold of the spring night, but at the same time, it did not use the original light and light effect of the gauze to avoid the heat, but it was a special dance dress that would do so.
"Since we entered the palace, Concubine Xian's body has not been very good, but I didn't expect her niece to have a good body, and she is not afraid of the cold at all." Su Ruhui glanced at it, then withdrew her gaze and said lightly.
Zhang Wei immediately understood: "Have you seen her?" ”
"In Shanglin Yuan, she and Song Caisu seem to have a good relationship, she was arrogant that day, and I secretly ridiculed her, and Song Caisu also helped her out of the siege." Su Ruhua said a word, and Zhang Yan suddenly looked at Gu's unpleasant eyes: "It's all a raccoon dog!" ”
"That time, I saw that she was wearing a gauze dress, and it seemed that she was in very good shape." Su Ruhui muttered.
Zhang Wei sneered: "I'm afraid that I think about it day and night, so I'm so anxious that I can't wear an extra silk dress, right?" ”
The two of them discussed here, and after Gu Ming stood up, he had already reported his father's and brother's official positions, as well as his own age and surname, and with the permission of the queen, he said to the name of the dance offered in the music newspaper waiting next to him: "The courtiers are willing to offer a song of spring warbler!" ”
The spring warbler is the former Emperor Gaozong of the previous dynasty to hear the spring warbler tactfully, ordered the music worker to compose the music according to the warbler, and according to the song choreography is completed, this dance is set up on the ground, the dance posture is soft and graceful and clear, the advance and retreat rotation is as dexterous and graceful as the spring warbler, but it must not leave the table.
Someone mentioned this dance in the previous dynasty and wrote: The insiders have sung the spring warbler, and the flowers are dancing softly.
A soft word, the key to this dance.
Empress Zhou looked at her with interest and ordered someone to spread another brocade carpet between the seats. The musicians in the palace are all good at all kinds of tunes, after listening to what Gu Ming said, a familiar musician started his head, plucked a few strings, and tuned a few notes, Gu Ming nodded and said yes, and stepped on the brocade carpet, his originally confident demeanor suddenly changed, becoming gentle and graceful, and with a look of innocence and joy.
Queen Zhou, who was also known as a talented girl when she was a girl, bowed her head slightly when she saw this, and said to Huo Guifei, who was closest to her: "The softness of this spring warbler is not only in the dancing posture, but also in the expression. ”
Huo Guifei smiled faintly: "Sister Queen has probably forgotten, this Miss Gu is the same clan of the late Concubine Xian, Concubine Xian back then, was she also good at singing and dancing?" I only see that she is better than Concubine Xian, but she is still a little worse, but she can be praised by the queen's sister, and it is not in vain that she dares to be the first to stand up. ”
Queen Zhou's face stiffened when she heard this, and she smiled reluctantly: "Really? I was very sick the other day, but I didn't pay attention. ”
"Miss Gu is still young, although her dancing skills are not as good as Concubine Xian, but she looks bold and clever, and the queen's sister likes it, so she must also think about the good king." Huo Guifei smiled leisurely, "Why don't you ask King Liang later?" ”
The words of the two were extremely light, but they were enough for the servants to hear them, and they immediately understood that Empress Zhou was intentionally recommending the Gu family to Huo Guifei, but unfortunately Huo Guifei not only did not like the Gu family, but even pushed the Gu family to the good king with Queen Zhou's praise, Queen Zhou frowned and said: "The palace just thinks that her dancing skills are good, as for the good queen, she has to ask His Majesty what he means." ”
Huo Guifei sighed: "Really? It's rare that this child has cast his sister's eye. ”
When Queen Zhou saw that she didn't give up, she simply sank her face and pretended not to hear.
Because of Concubine Huo's attitude, although Gu Ming danced really well, Queen Zhou only praised it lightly, and then asked her to return to her seat, Su Ruhui watched coldly, saw the disappointment in her eyes, and the corners of her mouth curved.
After Gu Ming, another show girl stood up, but she offered a song, and then someone offered poems, paintings, and played the piano...... They all have talents that can be used, Zhang Juan can't do it herself, looking depressed, Su Ruhui patted the back of her hand and said with a smile: "Your family is really on the field, and cheer up." ”
Zhang Yan looked up when she heard this, and sure enough, Zhang Zhen walked into the entrance with a smile, and she couldn't help but sigh: "I've heard since I was a child that this cousin is the laziest, why is she willing to learn things?" ”
"Since you were a child? What year was that? Su Ruhui covered her mouth and smiled, "I don't know if she is offering dance or poetry books?" ”
I saw Zhang Zhen standing on the field for a while, at first smiling, Queen Zhou and the others all looked at her with a smile and waited, but after waiting for a long time, she didn't wait for anything, but her expression began to be annoyed, seeing this, Zhang Yan was suddenly shocked, and muttered: "She...... She shouldn't ......?"
"Could it be anything?" Su Ruhui asked curiously.
Before Zhang Yan could speak, Zhang Zhen had already frowned, and looked up at Queen Zhou very pitifully: "The courtiers are guilty!" As she spoke, she was about to kneel, but this time Queen Zhou couldn't maintain the shallow smile on the corner of her mouth, and said in surprise: "You haven't done anything yet, why do you have to ask for guilt?" ”
“…… Because of the talent that the courtiers prepared so easily, they suddenly forgot it all! Zhang Zhen said frustratedly.
For a while, the audience was quiet, and Zhang Yan hid her face with her sleeves, for fear that someone would know that she was Zhang Zhen's cousin.
