53. Treading snow and cold incense

Previous Chapter

As the Chinese New Year feast approached, Yun Jiang ordered the singing and dancing, and the Nguyen sisters stepped up their line dancing practice.

At the moment, the big Ruan clan led the dancers to practice the green medicine dance music, and the little Ruan clan held the fire chopstick on the side and plucked the charcoal, and then said softly: "I'm tired, let's rest for a while." ”

Da Ruan stopped, retracted the crimson water sleeves raised, and the small bell on his waist rang in an instant.

Da Ruan took the jasmine tea handed by Xiao Ruan and took a sip gently: "There is not much time now, and I am still a little rusty with my practice, where do I get so much free time to rest?" ”

Xiao Ruan twisted the handkerchief and pressed the corner of Da Ruan's sweaty forehead, and said softly: "It's a little sweaty in winter, aren't you tired?" If you hurt your waist, how can you jump? Practice is important, but rest is also important. ”

Da Ruan smiled with relief, "That's right, it's you who are careful." Because I thought that I couldn't live up to Concubine De's instructions, I was extra anxious. ”

"Is Sister Ruan resting?" A dancing girl came in with the curtain open and saw Da Ruan standing sipping tea.

Xiao Ruan chuckled sideways and looked at the dancing girl: "Why are you here?" ”

The dancing girl glanced sideways at the surroundings, and then whispered in Da Ruan's ear: "Master Cao has come to teach the workshop to practice dance for the sake of making a splash at the New Year's Eve banquet." That is, in the West Pavilion. ”

Da Ruan's eyes flickered brightly and darkly, and then he looked slightly, and responded in a low voice, one wall ordered her to go down, and the other side pulled Xiao Ruan to walk towards the West Pavilion.

Before entering the West Pavilion, I heard a sharp and mean shout inside: "How to learn this dance, the waist of this concubine is twisted, you clearly have the intention to get along with this concubine!" Isn't it possible to look at this concubine so bullying! ”

"Concubine Cao's master is angry." Da Ruan's and Xiao Ruan's skirts stepped inside, smiling brightly like a spring flower, "If the little master doesn't like this dance, why don't you enslave and show you a clear way?" Da Ruan's wall said and bowed.

Concubine Cao frowned and glared at Da Ruan, she knew that Da Ruan was the first person in the dance club, and the dance she was referring to would not be bad. So he was slightly stunned and said, "Okay, you can talk about it." ”

Xiao Ruan's raised his hand at the right time and sent others to retreat, answered the words, and said gently: "Presumably, Master Cao Concubine must have heard of the emperor's biological mother, the Empress Dowager Zhaoyu, whose dancing posture is amazing, and it can be the first to start the country." ”

Cao Concubine's eyelashes trembled, and she looked at her suspiciously: "This is natural, who doesn't know the holy posture of the Empress Dowager Zhaoyu?" ”

Xiao Ruan twisted the narcissus pattern handkerchief and smiled charmingly: "That's it, the Empress Dowager Zhaoyu once alarmed the Ming Palace with a dance, this dance is called 'stepping on the snow and cold incense', and it is a dance with red plums." The dancers can be compared to fairies, and they should be more suitable for the winter scene. It's just that because the later generations danced and were all cried for the East Shi to imitate, it is not often seen in the Forbidden City. It's just that Concubine Cao's master has outstanding appearance, and she is round and jade, isn't it good to jump? ”

A glimmer of light flashed in Concubine Cao's pupils, and she said happily: "Is this true?" Da Ruan smiled and said, "Where do the slaves and maids dare to bluff the little master? This is all the truth from the heart. ”

Concubine Cao hurriedly pulled the two of them over and said, "Then let's teach quickly, there is not much time to spend." ”

Xiao Ruan stood aside and looked at Concubine Cao, his smile getting deeper and deeper, but there was a fierce wave in the depths of his charming eyes.

Stepping on the snow and cold incense, since the moment the Queen Mother ascended to the back seat, it has been forbidden to dance, no one knows the reason, and no one dares to spread it.

Concubine Cao has not been here for a long time, and no one has mentioned it, so naturally I don't know.

The big Ruan clan quietly cast a look at the little Ruan clan, and the little Ruan clan retreated lightly and went to Weiyang Palace.

Yun Jiang acquiesced after knowing it, the Cao family was stupid and domineering, and he was a person in the Yihua Palace, so it was time to suppress it.
