Chapter 25: Duan Shun
The palace maid's voice was not high, but it still attracted Jian Ning's attention, and when she heard that she was here to invite Sizhen to Concubine Duanshun's side, her expression suddenly became a little subtle.
After Jian Ning hesitated for a moment, he smiled and tugged at Sizhen and said, "You hurry up, Concubine Duanshun is waiting for you." ”
At the moment when Sizhen got up, Jian Ning reminded her in her ear: "Be careful! ”
also told the thrush: "Accompany your family Gege, the palace is big, don't let her get lost." ”
What's going on?
Sizhen suppressed the doubts in her heart, smiled gently at Jianning, got up and walked out slowly with the palace maid.
As soon as the two of them walked out, Ah Yunduo said enviously: "I didn't expect Sizhen to win the favor of Concubine Duanshun!" ”
Talma didn't speak, her eyes looked at Jian Ning, as if she wanted to see something from her face.
Jian Ning said lightly as if nothing had happened: "Maybe there is something." ”
After a while, she beckoned Lu Xiu to come over and said a few words in a low voice.
Although he didn't hear what Jianning said, seeing Lu Xiu nodding and leaving, Talma was vaguely excited.
Let's say that Sizhen followed the palace maid to the side hall of Kunning Palace, and stood at the door, and the palace maid stood aside respectfully: "Please Zhen Gege go in, Niangniang is waiting for you inside." ”
Didn't you even report it?
seemed to see Sizhen's doubts, and the palace maid smiled slightly: "The mother said that you should go in directly, and the slave maid will go to invite a few Gege, so I won't accompany you in." ”
After speaking, the palace maid walked away.
Sizhen was hesitating, the door of the palace automatically opened, and a small chamberlain came out, and when he saw her, he asked Andao: "Zhen Gege is here, Concubine Duanshun was still asking just now." ”
He led the four servants in.
Sitting on the master's seat is the concubine Duanshun, Abahai Borzigit Yuhua, she is the daughter of Abahai first-class Taijib Dahib, only fifteen years old this year, born with a flower and moon appearance, usually not very obvious in front of the queen, today sitting on the main seat, wearing a wisp of gold and flowers and a butterfly satin narrow coat, the neckline and cuffs are inlaid with white fox fur, and the bottom is equipped with a brocade skirt of apricot yellow silk, sitting upright in the circle chair, looking as dazzling as pearl and jade.
Sizhen saw that Concubine Duanshun was sitting on the master's seat, and the wives of the Beile and Beizi of the various prefectures were sitting at the top, thinking that it was those Fujin who accompanied the queen, and these ladies were greeted by a few maidens, and then looked at the seven or eight girls of the same age sitting on both sides, and felt a lot more relieved.
When Concubine Duan Shun saw Sizhen entering, she didn't speak, but only smiled and pointed out a place for her and motioned for her to sit down first.
Sizhen gave her a blessing from afar, and sat down next to a girl.
At that time, on the carved wooden platform of the three steps in the center of the side hall, there was a girl playing the pipa, performing the first famous song "Plum Blossom Three Alleys", although the fingering was not skilled enough, it sounded clear and far-reaching, noble and awe-inspiring, quite a bit of the spirit of the plum interest.
Sizhen looked at the girl a little familiar, and after a closer look, it turned out to be thirteen Gewushiha.
Since Ihanna got married last month, Ushiha has become close to Concubine Duanshun, and she will appear here with Concubine Duanshun, Sizhen doesn't find it strange.
After Ushiha finished playing the song, the ladies naturally praised it one after another.
Seeing that Thirteen Gege was praised, Concubine Duanshun's face was proud and satisfied, as if Thirteen Gege was her sister, she smiled lightly and said to the ladies who came to praise: "Oh, don't talk about her anymore, if you continue to boast, this palace will not dare to play the pipa in the future." ”
As soon as her words fell, a lady smiled very attentively: "Look at the mother's modesty, who doesn't know that the thirteen-grid pipa has advanced by leaps and bounds after you have been taught by yourself, according to the concubine, your pipa can start a class to teach." ”
The other ladies also echoed in a few words.
Concubine Duanshun looked at Sizhen with her eyes, although she was smiling, her face was a little arrogant: "Zhen Gege, how do you say that the pipa of the thirteenth grid is better than you Han people?" ”
Sizhen got up and replied respectfully: "Back to Niangniang's words, Sizhen can't play the pipa, it's hard to say how well the thirteen grids play, listen to the meaning of the ladies, it's excellent to think about it." ”
She didn't belittle the Han people, nor did she say that the thirteen grids were not as good as the Han people, and she answered very cleverly.
Concubine Duanshun heard it in her ears, and smiled coldly in her heart, but the smile on her face was even stronger, and she introduced the ladies of the various mansions in front of her to Sizhen: "This is the lady of Xiangmin Beizi......."
According to the introduction of Concubine Duanshun, Sizhen saluted those ladies one by one, her expression was calm and generous, her words were moderate, and her demeanor was neither humble nor arrogant, as if she was already a royal style.
Concubine Duanshun saw that Sizhen's figure seemed to be a little taller than when she entered the palace, wearing light green clothes, and only light powder lip fat on her lips, without fat powder, but her eyes were still like cold stars, her skin was brighter than snow, and her eyebrows were picturesque.
If she grows up, will there still be a place for them in the palace?
Thinking of the emperor's praise of Sizhen on weekdays, Concubine Duanshun couldn't help but clench her fists under her sleeves.
She showed an extremely satisfied look on her face with Sizhen's performance just now, called Sizhen to her side, held her hand and asked softly, "Is Gege still adaptable to the palace in the past few months?" Did Jianning bully you?! ”
"Back to the mother, in the palace, whether it is the queen mother, the emperor, or all the mothers, they all take care of Sizhen everywhere, and Her Royal Highness the princess is also very good to Sizhen. Sizhen replied to Concubine Duanshun's words with a smile, and the words were respectful and innocent, but the doubts in her heart were getting heavier and heavier.
There is a saying that if you have nothing to do, you will be either a traitor or a thief, and Concubine Duanshun will be very kind to her today, what is it for?
As soon as she came in, her words and deeds were full of intimacy and preference, and she even deliberately pulled herself to talk to these Baylor and Mrs. Beizi, all kinds of abnormalities made Sizhen very uneasy.
While she was talking, a girl in a begonia red dress was already dancing on the carved wooden platform, and a girl in a lake green dress next to her was playing with a tambourine.
Whether the girl is flipping and jumping, kicking in the air, curling up in the air, rotating left and right, throwing silk and squatting, and picking silk with both arms, she is not only stable and sensitive, but also soft, vigorous and integrated, looking very cheerful and bright.
Seeing Sizhen's appreciative gaze, Concubine Duanshun explained with a smile: "This is Qing Gege of Xiangmin Beizi's family, she danced the Mongolian Andai dance, this dance was originally a shamanic dance used to heal diseases, containing the meaning of praying for the protection of the gods, dispelling demons and eliminating disasters, and then slowly evolved into a national folk dance that expresses joyful emotions. I heard that Gege's sword dance is very good, can you dance for us for a while? ”
