[Chapter 9: Lang Shiqing and Concubine Shiyan] (2)
Also clenched his fists was Li Longye, but he could only watch Ah Yuan being taken down by Cui Xiang, and he couldn't do anything. His heart was beating faster and faster, and he always felt that something bad was going to happen.
He began to fidget, and he could not sit still, no matter how his wife tugged at his shirt.
Concubine Wang Xian noticed that Li Longye was suddenly so active, and said worriedly: "Wulang, where are you uncomfortable?" ”
"Uh, huh? I ......" Li Longye hurriedly arched his hand, "It's okay, it's just ......"
"Come and sit down next to me." Before Li Longye finished speaking, Concubine Wang Xian was already anxiously beckoning, "What are you doing in a daze, hurry!" ”
Seeing that Concubine Wang Xian was so anxious, Li Dan thought that something was wrong with her young son, and she hurriedly instructed the eunuch to help Li Longye up. Li Longye didn't understand what was going on, and he had been "invited" by two eunuchs with a strong waist and a strong waist. He endured the unbearable itching and goosebumps, and finally waited for his adoptive mother to touch him before he said, "A-Niang, I said I'm fine......"
Concubine Wang Xian checked it very exaggeratedly, and then she looked relieved, but said, "I don't believe your words." ”
Li Longye: "......"
Li Dan smiled rarely: "It's okay." ”
The depressing and weird topic and atmosphere were shifted lightly, and the banquet became lively again. Li Dan is in line with the idea of everyone having fun, so that everyone does not have to be restrained, what they have to do at the banquet on weekdays, just take it out at this moment. Later, some officials got up and went out of the ranks, spontaneously started to dance, sing praises to the Tang Dynasty, and talk about loyalty. It is not enough for them to dance on their own, but before they finish the dance, they will walk in front of another courtier and invite them to continue dancing with their own.
Yao Yuanchong has already been invited twice. After all, when he was over the age of six, he danced, and he was no longer as chic and graceful as he was when he was young. Now he is a little powerless, and he is thinking about other things, so his steps are a little vain, if it weren't for Song Jing getting up and supporting him, he was afraid that he would make a fool of himself.
As soon as Song Jing arrived at Yao Yuanchong's side, the colleagues around Yao Yuanchong brushed the floor and scattered to other places. He looked coldly at the faces of those people who were afraid to avoid them, and said, "You can dance with these people, and you can dance too?" ”
"The Yuan Day ceremony worships the Son of Heaven, and the ministers still have to be led by the servants, and get up and dance after the chief, which is the so-called dance and worship. There were more people dancing at that time, so didn't you jump too? ”
"That's different."
"That's not the same as it is now." Yao Yuanchong smiled and shook his head, "Who doesn't dance at the banquet?" The Son of Heaven has spoken, can you not give face? ”
Song Jing said dryly: "The Son of Heaven doesn't know the importance of it, he praises the princess of Zhenguo and suppresses His Royal Highness the Prince, what does this mean in the eyes of the ministers?" What should it mean when it spreads to the ears of the people outside the palace? This has just changed the yuan, and it makes people feel that the father and son of the heavenly family are not in harmony, does he think that the Tang Dynasty is not messy enough? ”
Yao Yuanchong seemed to smile: "Then why didn't you stand up and admonish the saint?" ”
On this occasion, he will not listen, let alone take it to heart. It is better that I go home tonight, put it together again, and submit it in a formal book, and then I will persuade him that he may be able to calm down and listen to me. ”
Yao Yuanchong nodded: "It turns out that you are not stupid. ”
Song Jing: "......"
The ministers danced, and the crown prince and the princes were naturally no exception. In addition to Li Longye being escorted by Concubine Wang Xian and not allowed to enter, Li Longji and other four brothers spontaneously joined the ranks of group dancers. Their brothers have grown up with the rhythm of poetry and books since they were children, and they are easy to sing and dance, handsome and very young, with vigor and vigor between their heads and feet, and full of romance between the wide-sleeved dances.
The ministers couldn't help but stop their movements and were amazed.
"These five sons of the saint are very good." Yao Yuanchong sighed.
Song Jing raised his eyes and glanced at it, and continued to pour himself a drink: "However, there is only one prince. ”
“…… Can't you just say something that fits the situation? ”
"For example?"
"For example, it should be best if the future of Datang is in their hands."
Song Jing said "um": "As long as they don't fight." ”
Yao Yuanchong: "......"
At the same time, Xiao Jiangyuan had already arrived at the courtyard next to the Taiji Hall with Cui Xiang and other palace eunuchs.
"Next to the Taiji Palace, this house is the closest, in order to let the saint see Xiao Neishi's performance as soon as possible, Xiao Neishou has to condescend to rehearse here." Cui Xiang said very respectful words, but the tone was intriguing.
Among them, contempt and ridicule, Xiao Jiangyuan heard it very clearly. She only smiled faintly, as if she didn't realize it, and bowed to Cui Xiang: "Thank you Cui Zuocheng." It is also annoying Cui Zuocheng to write down the lyrics and tones, and the slave and maid can watch while dressing up, which can also save a lot of time. ”
"Don't you know how to learn?"
"If you can't learn, you have to learn, but fortunately, someone taught the slave back then, and the slave can still understand the score." Xiao Jiangyuan said and arched his hand at Cui Xiang, "This will bother Cui Zuocheng." ”
The palace people have brought the Maiko's dance clothes with them. The crimson base is embroidered with intricate and colorful patterns, which are crossed over the chest for the neckline, and the bandeau is paired with a crimson lotus tapestry. Beneath the bandeau is a long red beaded ribbon that staggers and falls with the skirt. The wide sleeves and skirt are all vermilion, as thin as cicada wings but flying straight down, and there is a long smoky shawl at the sleeves. The whole dance dress moved by the wind, fluttering and fairy, but it was also very dazzling.
Xiao Jiangyuan had never worn such fancy clothes, so he couldn't help but smile bitterly in embarrassment, and then reached out and began to undress.
Seeing that Xiao Jiangyuan didn't mean to let them interfere, the eunuchs of the palace hung their heads and retreated, but Cui Xiang didn't move at all after writing the tone, ignoring everything that happened in front of him. He stared intently at Xiao Jiangyuan's back, and suddenly said in silence: "I remember the first time I saw you, you were so tall. ”
Seeing that Cui Xiang was not leaving, Xiao Jiangyuan stopped his movements, turned around to face Cui Xiang, and saw the height of Cui Xiang's raised hand, and said with a smile: "The slave maid was too unsightly when she was young, so Cui Zuocheng remembered it until now." ”
Cui Xiang ignored her and said to herself: "I asked her who you are, she didn't answer, just squatted down, snuggled up with you, and then asked me with a smile, you see, do we two look like each other?" After a pause, Cui Xiang frowned with some disgust, "You were thin and dark at the time, and the clothes that should have fit, but when you wear them, they just look very weird." Your hair was not growing well, it was yellow and thin, and it was all tied up on the top of your head, which was no bigger than a child's fist. But she asked me, "Do you look like her?" ”
Cui Xiang walked towards Xiao Jiangyuan step by step, and carefully looked at her from head to toe: "Even now, what are you like her?" ”
Xiao Jiangyuan didn't have any answer, but smiled very lightly: "The slave's mutilated body is very ugly, Cui Zuocheng is here, I'm afraid it will be inconvenient." ”
"Inconvenience, where is the inconvenience?" Cui Xiang snorted coldly, "Even if you are really a eunuch, you can barely be considered a man, I am also a man, what is inconvenient for you to change your clothes in front of me?" ”
Xiao Jiangyuan said: "Slaves and maids can not understand etiquette, Cui Zuocheng was born in the Boling Cui family, a big family, but he can't understand it." Don't look at indecent manners, it has nothing to do with the sex of the slave, does it? ”
"What if I have to see it?" Cui Xiang said and pushed Xiao Jiangyuan down on the long case on the side, and the mountain-high scroll on the long case suddenly fell to the ground.
Regarding Cui Xiang's reaction, Xiao Jiangyuan was unexpected. Her uprightness is purely the effect of clothes, and her posture has developed more and more towards a woman's form as she grows older, so her clothes are mixed with a lot of materials on the shoulders and waist, and Cui Xiang can know it when she touches it.
He sneered, still unwilling, so he restrained Xiao Jiangyuan's wrists with one hand and stretched out Xiao Jiangyuan's collar with the other.
Although Xiao Jiangyuan is a eunuch, he has not suffered much, and he has been pampered for so many years, and he is a woman, and his strength is very small. The current Cui Xiang is like a mountain overturning for her, and her struggle and resistance are not only in vain, but also give Cui Xiang the opportunity to suppress her.
Her heart was surprisingly calm.
As early as Cui Xiang touched her waist, she stopped struggling. She stared quietly at Cui Xiang's slightly hideous face for a while, and suddenly chuckled when Cui Xiang's hand pulled her collar.
Cui Xiang's movements stopped, and he saw Xiao Jiangyuan's unfathomable smile, and his eyes were even brighter, as if he was waiting for him at this moment. He thought for a moment and said, "What are you laughing at?" ”
"The slave maid never knew that her gender could one day be so cared about, and she didn't expect that Cui Zuocheng would be one of them."
"What do you mean?"
"What the slave means is that if Cui Zuocheng wants to verify it, he will do it quickly, and the slave and maid will hurry up and return to the Taiji Hall to perform for the saint."
If you want to get away with the past and find the right time to get out of trouble, this is Xiao Jiangyuan's idea. However, the plan couldn't catch up with the change, Cui Xiang only hesitated for a moment, and then his eyes narrowed for some reason: "Your trick is a little similar to her...... I almost fell into your way, but now that I have reached this point, if I don't see it with my own eyes, won't I be sorry for this rare opportunity? ”
Cui Xiang was very proud at the moment, and his hand strength was slightly loosened. Xiao Jiangyuan struggled violently, and she really broke away, she casually slapped Cui Xiang, and with the other hand, she groped for the cuffs, pulled out the lotus silver hairpin, and hit Cui Xiang's throat.
Cui Xiang tilted his head slightly, feeling the faint coolness in front of his throat, and felt amused: "Do you think that in this way, you can force me back?" Is it because of the so-called etiquette that you are so reluctant for me to see your body, or because of ...... Are you just a woman? ”
Cui Xiang said that he held the sharp hairpin head of the lotus silver hairpin tightly, and with a slight fold, he snatched it out of Xiao Jiangyuan's hand and threw it aside. He re-imprisoned Xiao Jiangyuan's hands, his legs pressed Xiao Jiangyuan tightly, and his whole body leaned in front of Xiao Jiangyuan, with an ambiguous and charming posture. This time, he finally tightened Xiao Jiangyuan's collar, and there was no more nuisance, and he opened Xiao Jiangyuan's placket with one hand!
The swan song of the Tang Dynasty
