July twenty-five is the night, the night banquet is held in the Daming Palace.

The concubines bowed three times with the queen Shangguan's lower head (1), and the queen mother on the right side of the head smiled and glanced sideways at the emperor Huiyu.

After the ceremony, the Queen Mother said gently: "Let's get up." It's just a family banquet, you don't have to be confined to yourself, you have the right to be casual. ”

The queen and all the concubines thanked in unison, and said: "The concubines wait for the Empress Dowager to thank the Empress Dowager, I hope that the Empress Dowager will be happy and happy, and the emperor will be blessed with Jin'an." Hui Yu raised his eyes and glanced at the concubines, but there were only more than ten people.

"Take your seats." The queen mother bowed, and the concubines bowed their knees, and they all sat down according to their own position rules. The Queen Mother glanced at all the concubines and sighed: "It's just that Concubine Shun is weak and unbearable, how can Concubine De never come to the banquet?" ”

When Lin Chu heard his words, he got up and replied: "Back to the Queen Mother, Concubine De's mother is afraid of the excitement of the banquet, so she can't refuse." The Queen Mother bowed her head slightly when she heard this, and sighed and said to Hui Yu: "Concubine De's health is indeed not good, and from time to time she has a small illness and a small disaster, and the emperor should also visit her to comfort her." In addition, Concubine Shun has been sick for a long time, and she wants to ask the hospital to do her best. ”

Hui Yu heard that he was only under the order, but he did not show too much worry, and the queen beside him looked at it for a while, and his heart was much more relaxed when he saw this. After that, the concubines toasted the emperor and the queen mother. When the queen saw that the scene was lively, she thought of ordering someone to sing and dance to make it interesting.

Seeing this, Lin Chu hurriedly got up and said, "Your Majesty, the queen." This song and dance has always been too cheesy, and there are still few ordinary banquets? The concubine is stupid, but she also wants to earn something new, so she secretly went to the Jiaofang Division to rehearse a song and dance, does the emperor want to see it? ”

Hui Yu saw that Lin Chu rarely involved singing and dancing, and he was surprised in his heart, so he said: "Let's see, it's strange what new ideas you can have." Lin Chu understood, smiled and bowed, so he ordered the palace maid to recruit singing and dancing girls.

The dancing girl has not heard the song first, it is played by the zheng, its tune is melodious and long, like a hibiscus crying dew, Kunshan jade broken phoenix called.

Hui Yu listened to the beat in his heart, and an inexplicable warm current rose in his heart.

The sound of the zither is varied, and a group of dancing girls are drawn out by two leaders with beautiful faces and similar appearances, and their graceful styles are like green smoke rising under the moon. The song was sung and sung and resounded - Qingyue entered the ear: "Guan Guan Ju Dove, in the river island, fair lady, gentleman..." Lin Chu's beauty fan half covered her face, watching Hui Yu's face gradually change, and her smile deepened.

The dancing girl's water sleeves fluttered like smoke, and the skirt bloomed like a lotus in the hall. The song is faint and comes through the clouds. Hui Yu listened and watched obsessively, the Qingyue relatives outside the hall were all mutilated, and the light moonlight fell slightly on the surface of the lake and folded out sparkling waves, showing worry.

Six years ago, the spring pear blossoms were like snow, the girls danced like butterflies, and the melodious singing was like a yellow warbler out of the valley. Hui Yu's thoughts don't know where they fall, but they only know that there are thoughts in their hearts and thoughts. - Fu Yunjiang.

He hadn't seen her for a long time, even though he missed her. But the aftermath of Quan Jieyu's miscarriage has not completely dissipated, and if she goes to see her, it will only increase her trouble. As if he wanted to dispel his sorrows, he raised his glass and drank it all, with indescribable feelings in his eyes.

Everyone in the hall was not obsessed with the beautiful scenery of this good day, and they sang and danced in a trance. Huiyu lost his mind for a while, and the queen opened her mouth to call softly.

Hui Yu suddenly withdrew his thoughts, and bowed his head again: "Not bad." Lin Chu, you did a good job, and you will be rewarded later. Hui Yu swept the two dancers and singers, both of whom were young and good, and he vaguely saw the shadow of Yun Jiang's youth from them, and his tone was gentle: "The singing and dancing are good... It's just that no matter how exquisite it is, it can't compare to the dance and song that Concubine De sang back then. ”

The Queen Mother couldn't help but smile beside her: "Concubine De was like a shocking woman back then, and her singing voice was clear, but she was not the best in the country?" It's just that now she doesn't sing or dance anymore, but it's a pity that this song "Guan Ju" is gone. Hui Yu's face became warmer, and he asked casually: "Although you can't compare to Concubine De, you two dance quite well." You have your reward. ”

The dancing girl was flattered, but not rude at all, and then the shorter one knelt down and thanked him for his grace.

The queen added on the side: "Those two singers are also good, why don't the emperor also reward them?" ”

The two singers were slightly frustrated because they were not noticed by Huiyu, but now they were appreciated and happy by the queen, and they knelt down to thank them.

Lin Chu also smiled and said: "This dancer Sister Ruan, and the singer Sister Zhu are the two pairs of Lishu of the Teaching Workshop Division, and they are rare wonderful people for decades. The Queen Mother also appreciated his exquisite skills and gave him gold and jade clothes as a reward. The queen saw that Hui Yu showed a rare tenderness and joy between her eyebrows, so she secretly paid attention to these four people.

Then Lin Chu held a toast, and the staggered joy was not a problem.
