I only heard the sound of "Zheng", the group sound was closed, and the sound of the piano started to be low, cold and solemn, as if constructing a picture of the withering plants and trees on a cold night, and the postlude tune was beautiful and light.

More than ten dancing girls followed the beautiful music, interpreting the scene of spring flowers, they suddenly retreated on both sides, and in the middle a woman wearing a light gauze dance dress with a slender waist stepped out, black hair like a waterfall, and a peach blossom tassel hairpin was inserted in the middle. Everyone saw that this was not who Lou Shanlan was, their expressions gradually changed from surprise to envy, their eyes were jealous for a moment, Lou Xuan's servants hooked their lips and smiled, she knew that she was about to be out of the limelight to gain honor.

So she flew up again, hooked her toes, danced and embroidered and swirled into shape, and threw out a weeping branch of green peach from her sleeve, like a spring breeze and light clouds, the flowers were charming and moving, Chu Chu was beautiful.

The dancing girl gathered into a semicircle behind Lou Xuan's attendant to semi-surround her, and lined her with delicate and delicate flowers, budding and ready to be released, and her style was vibrant, catering to her dancing.

Zhang Fuxin was enjoying the "Carp Leaping Dragon Gate" in front of the table, took a bite of fish belly, and smiled at Ban Lanbi: "This Lou Xuan waiter is silent on weekdays, so he is waiting here to make a splash." ”

Ban Lanbi thanked him, "Yes, I haven't paid attention to this sister on weekdays, but she has superb skills, who is willing to sink under the palace walls." ”

The concubines in the seats had different expressions, especially Shi Fuzhou, whose faces were already so cold that they could freeze, and everywhere their beautiful eyes touched was ice hell.

The queen didn't react, as if she was already a commonplace expression, and she took all kinds of small actions in her pocket, and Concubine Yin smiled decently, and went to evaluate one or two with Empress Dowager Xun from time to time.

Zhang Fuxin seemed to feel that Jing Concubine always glanced at her like nothing, so she avoided Jing Concubine's gaze without a trace.

Jing Concubine put a piece of jade cake into the entrance, with a touch of pride on her face, this palace can make the Lou family out of the limelight, and naturally there is a way to let your Zhang family out of the limelight, while you can still watch this beautiful dance, just enjoy it.

This emperor was full of wine, he didn't notice Shi Fuzhou's iceberg-like face, and looked intently at the obvious dragon heart in the center of the dance floor, there was such a graceful concubine in the harem, and he was destined to be rewarded a lot tonight.

At the end of a dance, I don't know which dancer's long sleeves were scattered, a piece of soft paper was shaken out, and it fell under the feet of the Lou Xuan, everyone hadn't woken up from the intoxication, and the queen in the high position saw this at a glance, and asked out loud, "What is this?" ”

Lou Xuanzhi was very puzzled and picked up the soft paper, didn't have time to look at it carefully, and first replied to the queen, "Back to Your Highness, it seems to be a poem, and the concubine doesn't know where it came from." ”

After speaking, she felt a little remorseful, because she suddenly remembered that it must be which dancing girl wanted to use her dancing opportunity to seize the limelight and create an opportunity to attract the emperor's attention, and fly on the branch from a dancing girl to become a concubine of the Son of Heaven, and she must have been used as a stepping stone.

The queen frowned slightly, her body was already showing some fatigue, and she raised her hand lightly, "Present it to Lone." ”

Lou Xuan's servant Lianbu gently moved the soft paper and presented it, the queen's face changed after taking a closer look, the emperor took the paper suspiciously, and Jing Concubine squinted slightly when she saw this scene.

Seeing the emperor's expression sinking little by little, Concubine Yin instantly became alert, with her experience and perception, she was afraid that there would be another storm, and she asked worriedly, "What's wrong with Your Majesty?" ”

The emperor didn't answer her, but just held the paper and asked Lou Xuanzhi in a deep voice, "Who is this poem?" Lou Xuan's eyebrows jumped, and he wondered if he had gotten the extreme, "The concubine didn't know, it was the dancing girl who fell out, and the concubine picked it up." She wanted to know what was the mystery on the paper that made the emperor change her face, but she didn't dare to ask if she was low.

The emperor looked back at the more than ten people behind Lou Xuan's attendants, and seemed to repeat patiently, "Who's?" ”

The dancers all lowered their heads in fear and quietly looked left and right, but no matter whose face they were, they were confused, "The slave doesn't know." "The slave and the maid don't know." Therefore, no one dared to stand up and claim it.

The Queen Mother picked up the piece of paper, her brows were tightly locked, and she read it out, "Embrace the green peony, and the mirror is fragrant with osmanthus flowers." Tang Taiqi Xuanwu, hidden phoenix hidden in the abyss. Empress Dowager Xun shook her head majestically, "It's really not like words." ”

The concubines below have begun to whisper:

"I didn't hear what the first sentence was."

"What do you mean?"

"Tang Taizong's Xuanwu change? Oh my God, it's a metaphor for Your Majesty's Taiji Gate......"

"Shhhh Stop it. ”

"How do I remember that Yongcui Pavilion is Zhang Cairen'......"

"Isn't Jinghuaxuan Ban Ronghua in this way!"

"What does that mean? It's a hidden phoenix and a peony, could it be that the Zhang family covets the Middle Palace? ”

Some of the concubines who reacted poorly were confused, but some people who understood choked their tongues, because Tang Taizong's full face Xu Hui, later generations compared her to the osmanthus flower god, a metaphor for Banrong Hua is Xu Chongrong, and Tang Taizong's martial talents, that is, the later Empress Wu, and Peony also have allusions, this is to compare Zhang Cairen to the queen of martial arts!

Xu Hui and Wu are both concubines of Tang Taizong, Tang Taizong's Xuanwumen changes are quite similar to today's emperor, Ban Lanbi is a talented woman like Xu Hui, and Zhang Fuxin is favored in the study of politics, corresponding to the dry politics of the Empress Wu, the hidden phoenix abyss means that the empress was born, implying that the emperor killed his brother like Taizong, and also registered a talented person in the harem who subverted the country in the future.

When Zhang Fuxin heard the first sentence of "embracing cui", she already had an ominous premonition in her heart, this scene was clearly directed at herself, she swept the dancing girl on the field, and tried to remember who dropped the poem in the panic.

She felt the sharp eyes of the concubines on the field, and the emperor who swept here, so she took the initiative to kneel and said, "The concubine is frightened, I can't afford such a dirt, the concubine must be a person with a heart who used Lou Xuanzhi to harm the concubine by her hand, the concubine is a little concubine, the father is just a small from the six grades of cultivation, how dare how to set off a storm and leave a disaster, Your Majesty is already a great honor not to abandon the vulgar, and I hope Your Majesty will see it!" ”

Ban Lanbi was also implicated, and she also knew that this matter was not for her, but she still came out of the ranks, probably because of the grace of recovering the siege last time, "Please Your Majesty be aware of it, Sister Zhang abides by her responsibilities on weekdays, cultivates her virtues, and will never be a rebel." ”

The emperor pondered and didn't know whether he was thinking about who wrote this poem, or whether he was thinking that Zhang Fuxin was indeed a hidden phoenix hidden in the abyss, which flew out after precipitation for many years and replaced the Hu family.

The subtle rise in the corners of Concubine Jing's mouth is that she has served the emperor the longest with the most seniority, and she has taken a fancy to the emperor's suspicious nature, and he will not let anything that is unfavorable to his imperial power.

Not to mention that the royal family is very superstitious about these things, religious feng shui, especially for future prophecies.

Lou Xuan's waiter thought that it was really unlucky, obviously today was a day when he was favored, but there was such a thing, so he secretly glanced at Jing Concubine, it wouldn't be her, she first agreed to help herself get favored, but behind her back she did something to kill people with a knife.

Concubine Jing secretly shook her head at her, and raised her chin reservedly, I will give you a small opportunity to choose a servant to dance in front of the emperor, it is already a great love, and you have no qualifications to doubt me.

Lou Xuan's attendant retracted his gaze, and turned to look at Zhang Fuxin and Ban Lanbi on the field, as well as the emperor's reaction.

The emperor looked at them condescendingly, and said to Zhang Fuxin in a deep voice, "Even if Ban Ronghua has Xu Chongrong's talent, you are not as smart as the Wu family." Then he sarcastically looked at the dancing girl and Lou Xuanzhi below, "However, Tang Taizong is an outstanding person who is a scholar of civil governance and martial arts, and I will be too." ”

After that, he picked up the wine and took a sip, laughing heartily, "Suppress all these dancing girls and hand them over to the Punishment Division, as for you." He glanced at Knowles, "It's a good thing to be jealous, I can't make you a talented person, how can you be worthy of the hard work of the concubine?" ”

Knowles, a talented person, felt frightened, the emperor would reward her in this situation, and she was directly promoted from the selection of Bao Lin to the talent, recalling the jealousy that the emperor said, could it be that she suspected that this matter was arranged by herself, but at this time, Xie En must be much better than a tough explanation.

So he said happily: "The concubine thanked Your Majesty for your grace." ”

The concubine looked at it peacefully, she knew her majesty, this was definitely not as simple as a simple reward, especially when she also said such a thing.

The Queen Mother beckoned, "Gao Shi, go and remove the emperor's wine." Coats respectfully complied. She looked at Zhang Ban and the others lightly, and said gently, "You guys go back to the table." ”

Zhang Fuxin made a thoughtful salute and returned to his seat with Ban Lanbi, he really wanted to become the target of the public, and he didn't want this moment to come so quickly.

The emperor stared at Zhang Fuxin and said, "From now on, you will move to live in the Yuhua Pavilion, and you are not allowed to come out of it without my permission." ”

Jing Concubine's heart was relieved, and she moved to Yuhua Pavilion, of course, everything had to be simple, and the treatment was not as good as a quarter of the original, and when she could come out was even more distant.

Yuhua Pavilion is the palace of Tibetan Buddhism in the palace, the setting inside is very simple, there are all kinds of Buddhist scriptures and ritual instruments hidden in it, and this generation of the royal family because no one particularly believes in religion, even the queen mother is, the inside is even more empty.

Zhang Fuxin was very caught off guard in his heart, but at the moment there was no other way but to accept it, and silently thanked him, "Concubine Thank you, Your Majesty." ”

Ban Lanbi glanced at her a little anxiously and worriedly, "Sister." She was relieved, "I'm fine, but I've eaten and worn a little, and it's no different for me." ”

The rest of the concubines looked at Zhang Fuxin, more or less gloating, and even some subtle voices came into her ears, "I said that no one will always be lucky." ”

Zhang Fuxin glanced at the place where the voice came from, and there was a rare coldness in his eyes, which made several concubines who were looking this way withdraw their gaze. The Empress Wu descended to subvert the country? I really look up to her Zhang Fuxin.

At the end of the banquet, the palace maids who shaved their shoulders and waists held all kinds of fresh melons and fruits to relieve hangover, and the snow-white porcelain plate was filled with fresh fruits dripping with crystal water droplets, which was particularly attractive. But it seems that except for the emperor, no one dares to get drunk, and everyone has their own hearts and minds, and they are cautious.

Before leaving, Zhang Fuxin passed by Jing Concubine's side and whispered, "I heard that Empress Wu came out of the Thanksgiving Temple and gained power once, cut off Concubine Xiao's hands and feet, and threw her into the wine urn, which is drunk. ”

Concubine Jing's heart jumped, but she just glanced at her coldly, "Just because you are also worthy of threatening this palace?" ”

Zhang Fuxin said with a smile on her face: "What Niangniang said, the concubine is terrified, and she dare not bear it, there is neither Empress Wu nor Concubine Xiao Shu in this harem, don't worry too much." ”

Concubine Jing said with an undecided expression: "Then this palace can teach talented people to slowly understand what it means to be afraid." ”

Between the inches and inches, there are countless sword shadows.
