Chapter 295: Qin Xiao Ensemble

In the Falling Snow Pavilion, Lingxi sat on the main seat with an indifferent expression and ate tea, with a soft smile on his face, and the expressions that flashed on the faces of the six new concubines when they received the reward were all included in the beautiful eyes.

As Lingxi herself said, her reward was not a precious thing, and it didn't matter how high or low she was, she only gave a pearl hand.

But this inconspicuous handpiece can peek into one or two people's hearts and temperaments.

When Mo Jieyu took over the hand, the willow eyebrows on the left side were slightly raised. Then he put a smile on his face, as if he liked it.

Ting Meiren took the pearl bracelet and put it directly on her wrist, and when she raised her eyes to see that Mo Jieyu was still in her hand, she slowly took it off again, as if she had done something wrong.

Rumei took it with a brocade pad in her palm, and then carefully wrapped it up and held it in the palm of her hand. Raising his eyes, he glanced at Lingxi and smiled softly.

When Yun Cairen took the hand, Danfeng's eyes showed a slight contempt. Compared with the five-tailed phoenix hairpin rewarded by Concubine Rou, the pearl bracelet rewarded by Lingxi really couldn't get into her eyes.

Yuan Cairen is a straightforward character, and after taking it, he happily put the bracelet on his wrist. The sleek pearls shimmered in the morning sun, making her slightly plump wrists even more sleek.

Qin Cairen was the last in line, took the hand handed over by the lotus leaf, and first raised his eyes and glanced at the expressions of others. When he saw Lingxi looking at her, a timid smile appeared on his face, and he hid his body back.

When Lingxi walked out of the outer hall, Qincairen's heart began to beat wildly. Because Lingxi is wearing a lake-green palace dress, she is also wearing a lake-green palace dress. Although the styles and colors are different, the one she wears does not look as noble as Lingxi, but in the end, it collides with the concubines who are higher than herself, which makes her feel uneasy.

Lotus Ye has been on an errand in the palace for many years, and when he saw the detention of Qin Cairen, he knew what Qin Cairen was thinking, and he couldn't help but smile at the corner of his mouth, and he had a good impression of this cautious Qin Cairen in his heart.

The six concubines took the reward they got in their hands, and they all blessed the spirit rhino body, "Concubine Xie Ye Guifei Niangniang's reward." ”

Lingxi smiled and let the six people get up and sit down, looked at the six seemingly happy faces, and said with a smile, "Sisters, you don't have to be polite, there are nothing good in this palace, as long as you like it, it will not be in vain for this palace to prepare carefully." ”

Mo Jieyu leaned forward slightly, and said with a smile, "Concubines have always liked pearls the most, pearls are mellow, and they are the most spiritual by the essence of heaven and earth." ”

Yuan Cairen raised his eyes and looked at the spirit rhino, with a very small voice, but everyone could hear it, and smiled weakly, "The concubine heard that the essence of heaven and earth is jade, why did it become a pearl?" ”

The smile on Mo Jieyu's face was unstable, her right hand clenched the handkerchief in her hand fiercely, and she looked back and said to Yuan Cai, "What Yuan Cairen said is that the pearl is the essence of the sun and the moon, I remember it wrong." ”

Yun Cairen heard Yuan Cairen's words and smiled at Lingxi, "Pearls are indeed good things, but the concubine has always felt that the color is too monotonous. However, pearl powder is different, and if you mix pearl powder with gouache and wipe your face, the skin on your face will be smoother. Ye Guifei Niangniang, your skin is so smooth and tender, you must often use pearl powder. ”

Lingxi's gouache did have pearl powder in it, so Lingxi nodded and said with a smile, "Indeed, pearl powder is the best product for skin care." ”

Qin Cairen sat at the end, looked at the pearl bracelet in his hand, and said in a low voice, "It would be a pity if such a good pearl was ground into powder." The concubine is reluctant," she said and turned her body slightly sideways, and raised her hand in the direction of the outside of the hall, so that the sunlight shining in from outside the hall hit the hand. Qin Cairen smiled softly, "How beautiful, some shining light." Pearls are the tears of mussel shells, and it is really poignant to hear that it takes hundreds of years to form such a pearl. ”

The golden beam of light hit the body of the Qincai people, as if they had covered the snow-like skin of the Qincai people with a thin veil of golden light.

Good-looking eyebrows, soft smile, slightly fluttering hair blown by the breeze......

Lingxi raised his eyes and only glanced at Qin Cairen, and knew that An Xiaowan had a big enemy.

The talented person in front of him, who was covered with a faint layer of golden light and smiled as warmly as the sun, was far more attractive than An Xiaowan, who had an innocent face on her face.

For example, the beauty turned her head to look at Qin Cairen, her eyes flashed with a hint of amazement, and she couldn't help but praise, "Qin Cairen is really a rare beauty, just this single action will make people look crazy." ”

Qin Cairen was said to be like a beauty, and his face showed a trace of shyness. Putting her hand down, she turned around, bowed her head to Lingxi, and said, "Ye Guifei is not strange, the concubine has lost her manners." ”

Qin Cairen is not the kind of beautiful woman who is unforgettable, but her demeanor reveals a unique charm that makes people's eyes can't help but follow.

Lingxi smiled faintly and said, "It's okay, there are not so many rules here in this palace." It is also a blessing that this hand can be liked by Qincai people. ”

Ting Meiren looked back at Qin Cairen, her eyes moved, her head lowered slightly, and a smile appeared on her face.

Lingxi sat on the main seat, looking at the six beauties in front of him, as if he had seen the open and secret struggle between them.

It's just that I don't know which one will climb to a high position and become an enemy with himself in the near future.

At three o'clock, Hanyu sent the six concubines out of the Luoxue Pavilion. After coming back, he said to Lingxi, "Niangniang, when they left, Yuncai people went all the way by themselves. Such as beauty, Ting beauty, and Qincai walked together with laughter, and Mo Jieyu and Yuan Cairen walked hand in hand at the end. ”

Lingxi smiled when he heard this, and said to the lotus leaf standing beside him, "In the sixth year of Yong'an, there was a general election, and nearly a hundred concubines were selected in the palace. But those concubines combined, none of them were as lively as these six people, and none of them were vegetarians. ”

Lotus Ye had a very good impression of Qin Cairen, so he smiled and said, "The slave maid is very kind when she sees Qin Cairen." ”

"Who's to say it isn't." Lingxi took the tea cup in the lotus leaf's hand and said with a smile, "I just don't know what such a woman like a warm sun will become in the end." By the way, looking at some Yuncai people, this Yuncai people look brainless, I don't know what Concubine Rou will do with her. ”

Han Yu blessed the blessing and said, "Yes." ”

Qiaozhu mentioned the five-tailed phoenix hairpin worn by Yun Cairen's hair bun again, and said with a smile, "Her sister never wore a five-tailed phoenix hairpin in front of people back then. ”

Lingxi smiled and stopped talking. With the big Buddha of Rou Guifei behind her, there is something that Yuncai can't do.

-------------------

On August 15 of the ninth year of Yong'an, the family banquet of the palace of the viewing platform.

No relatives were invited to this palace banquet, only the concubines and princes in the harem.

Lingxi looked at the roster of this banquet before the palace banquet, which had the name of King Rui on it, and couldn't help but hold three points of hope in his heart.

Although she knew that there was no news of Allure from King Rui, as a brother who took good care of herself when he was young, Lingxi still hoped that he would be well.

When it was almost unitary, King Ping and King Rui stepped on the viewing platform in the afterglow of the sunset.

King Ping wore a pale cyan robe, and his eyebrows and eyes were a little lazy, as if he had just woken up and came to the palace banquet.

King Rui was dressed in white, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and the breath on his body was indescribably elegant.

Judging from King Rui's expression, it is completely impossible to see that King Rui has been imprisoned by Emperor Yong'an in King Rui's mansion for five and a half years, and he will continue to be imprisoned.

Lingxi looked a little stunned, if it weren't for the whiteness of King Rui's temples, Lingxi would have thought that he had returned to more than ten years ago, King Rui was holding a pot of chrysanthemums in full bloom, with a mischievous smile on his face, and said to Xiao and the Queen Mother, "Imperial grandmother, the objects in the grandson's house should be kept to raise the child, and this pot of chrysanthemum bento is a Mid-Autumn Festival gift from your grandson." ”

Concubine Ren looked back and saw that Lingxi's eyes were a little moist, and asked curiously, "Why is Ye Guifei crying?" ”

Lingxi reacted very quickly, picked up the brocade and pointed it on his left eye, pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled, "It's a little worm, it's spicy." ”

When Lingxi raised his head again, King Ping and King Rui had already entered the table, and the two sat next to each other like the Dragon Boat Festival Palace Banquet, and they were happy with the wine.

Lingxi withdrew his gaze and looked no more.

At the moment of the unitary hour, the Empress Dowager Xiaohe and the Empress Dowager came with Emperor Yong'an, and the palace banquet began.

The six concubines who newly entered the palace became the protagonists on the viewing platform.

Qin Cai people play the piano, like a beauty blowing Xiao, Ting Meiren in the foil of all the palace maids, waving a nine-foot-long water sleeve, dancing a song with strong Jiangnan meaning and a little sad "Luoshen".

The dance "Luoshen" was originally created by a dancer named Yueniang in Jiangnan. In the dance, it is full of Yueniang's lovesickness for her lover who has a mutual affection for her.

Yueniang knows that she and her lover may not be able to stay together for the rest of their lives, so Luoshen's dance is slightly sad, like sighing, and like helplessness, showing the lingering lovesickness of Jiangnan women.

The daughter of the Cao family, since she was a child, was required to learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, Ting beauty, and the best dance is this "Luoshen".

It's a pity that Tingmei and the deceased Concubine Wen are the same person, and their dancing posture is inevitably similar to Concubine Wen.

No matter how beautiful Tingmeiren's dancing is, when he thinks of Concubine Wen and Cao Guifei, who hate and kill each other, Emperor Yongan can't afford to have a trace of emotion for Tingmei.

The song is coming to an end, and the water sleeves in Tingmeiren's hands are flying up and down with the Qin Xiao ensemble, which is very good-looking.

Ru Meiren's beautiful eyes glanced at Qin Cairen, who was sitting opposite and playing the piano finely, and raised Xiao Sheng up by one syllable.

Qin Xiao ensemble, the emphasis is on playing the tacit understanding between the two people. And Xiao's voice must not overshadow the guqin, otherwise it will be difficult to reflect the unique timbre of the guqin.

Rumei suddenly raised the Xiao syllable, which made the heart of the player Qin Cairen feel a little panicked. In order to make the ending perfect, Qin Cairen had to raise the strings to match the high notes of a beauty......

Zheng ......

There was a mournful roar from the guqin, and there was silence on the viewing platform.

The strings of Qincai people, under the height of Qincai people, were broken. The long, processed strings popped out and flew back, drawing a trail of blood on the back of her tender, fair hand.

The beautiful woman who was dancing happily in the center of the viewing platform was frightened by the sound of the piano and lost her dance steps, and fell on the viewing platform all of a sudden.

A trace of dissatisfaction appeared on Emperor Yong'an's face, and the look in his eyes at Qin Cairen changed from admiration to chagrin.

The corners of the beauty's mouth provoked a hint of an unexpected smile, lifted the breath in her chest, and blew the Zi Xiao in her hand again.

Ting Meiren reacted very quickly, and immediately danced a lotus flower between her hands in a falling posture, and finished dancing the whole "Luoshen" with the accompaniment of Du Xiao.

Qin Meiren was defeated, and she was defeated at the hands of Rumeiren, who was commensurate with her sister every day.

The result can be imagined, Emperor Yong'an clapped his hands and praised Ru Beauty. And Qin Meiren, who was injured by the strings on the back of her hand, could only sit back on her seat with a gloomy expression.

Lingxi let out a long sigh, although she didn't understand the rhythm, she also knew that this must be a ploy made by someone.

Not wanting to look at it anymore, Lingxi looked back and smiled at Emperor Yong'an, and said, "Your Majesty, the concubine is a little drunk, go down to breathe." ”

Emperor Yong'an's eyes were poured into Ru Meiren's body, and he waved his hand at Lingxi and followed Lingxi.

Under the viewing platform, there is the chrysanthemum garden.

At this time, the chrysanthemums in the chrysanthemum garden are blooming brightly, and under the light of the moon, there is a cold taste.

The lotus leaf helped the spirit rhino to walk slowly in the chrysanthemum garden, and was still sighing that Qin Cairen was really unlucky, and actually plucked the strings off on such an important occasion, otherwise with the unique temperament of Qin Cairen, he would definitely be able to take the lead among the six new concubines.

Lingxi patted the lotus leaf's hand, and there was a hint of reprimand in his tone, "It's really getting bolder, even the master you dare to arrange." ” | ..

The lotus leaf stuck out her tongue and smiled, and pulled the topic to a golden chrysanthemum that was blooming on her side, "Niangniang, you see how beautiful this chrysanthemum is, the slave maid will pick it off and put it on for you." ”

Lingxi is holding a high Lingyun bun today, and it is also suitable to have such a flower hairpin behind the bun.

"Forget it." Lingxi looked at the flower and smiled faintly, "Let it grow here, it will take at least ten days to bloom before it fails." If you want to put the hairpin on my head, I'm afraid that the fragrance will die tomorrow morning. Why should he take his short life because of his own whims. ”

In the last sentence, Lingxi looked at the distance in the night, as if he was saying it to the lotus leaf, and it seemed to be saying it to himself.

Lotus Ye heard the desolation in Lingxi's words, and just wanted to find a reason to divert the topic, he heard a pleasant male voice coming from the depths of the chrysanthemum garden, "I didn't expect that Ye Guifei, who is now deeply favored, would actually say such lonely words." ”

The second more is offered~~

Anyway, did they all go out for the festival today, and it's a holiday? Hey
