Chapter 26: Cheng Ze

Sizhen thought about his little insect carving skills, where can he show ugliness in front of others, and heard the drums on the stage becoming more and more intensive, and the girl was dancing like a flowing cloud in the field, and suddenly the hall applauded.

The girls on the stage thanked Quartet with a smile, and then stepped off the stage.

Mrs. Xiangmin Beizi smiled at Concubine Duan Shun and said: "This is the queen's banquet, we have already presented a gift as a guest, since the lady is helping the queen to greet her, we should show some of the master's demeanor, and let us appreciate the wonderful music and dance of the head of the palace!" ”

As soon as these words came out, many people immediately echoed them, and they all smiled and asked Concubine Duanshun to arrange someone to appear.

Concubine Duanshun pulled Sizhen to her side and said to everyone: "This is the emperor's newly recognized sister, Zhen Gege, this sister was born in Jiangmen and has excellent martial arts, and after a while, she will let you appreciate what a real sword dance is." ”

After a pause, Concubine Duanshun Yingying got up and walked to the carved platform with Sizhen and said, "This palace accompanies Zhen Gege with a pipa." ”

As soon as her words fell, there was silence at first, and then there was an exclamation of disbelief.

Concubine Duanshun's pipa is said to be a must, but she is the emperor's favorite concubine, and even the queen's mother can't move her on weekdays, let alone play it in front of everyone.

Sizhen was even more surprised, why Concubine Duanshun wanted her to appear in front of people has not yet figured it out, and it is really unexpected that she is willing to be an accompanist to set her off at this time.

Moreover, how could Concubine Duan Shun conclude that she could dance with swords? The more I thought about it, the more abnormal I felt, and the doubts in Sizhen's heart became more and more serious.

It's just that at this point, she can't help but refuse.

Sizhen was pampered and raised at home, and she was very courageous, and in the past few months, because of life and death, she has become much more cautious, but she is not timid or afraid.

The soldiers are coming, the water is flooding, it's not a big deal.

She looked respectfully bowed her head.

Concubine Duanshun touched her head lovingly like a sister, and said softly: "Don't be afraid, just like you practice martial arts on weekdays, this palace will help you play "Ambush on All Sides", okay?" ”

Sizhen looked up at Concubine Duanshun's beautiful face, and her eyes were full of encouragement.

Sizhen smiled slightly: "In this way, there will be Concubine Lao Duanshun!" ”。

She blessed everyone, took the long sword held by the palace maid, turned around and jumped onto the center of the wooden platform.

When the fake nails made of celluloid worn by Concubine Duan Shun's right hand were pronounced, everyone saw the sword light flying in Taichung, like a rainbow of lightning, and the sword light flashed, and a pale cyan figure flew non-stop, dressed in brocade and jade, like a dragon, as if the sky would be bright at dawn.

And Duanshun Concubine Pipa is also worthy of its name, and the magnificent brilliance of the song "Ambush on All Sides" makes people feel like turning around in a fierce battle, faintly feeling of saber rattling.

The sound of the pipa became more and more urgent, but Sizhen in the field could still keep up with the rhythm, her sword danced into a gust of wind, an arrow, a beam of light, and when the sound of the piano stopped abruptly, she had already put away her sword and turned back, and even the skirt hung quietly under her, as if the fierce scene just now had nothing to do with her.

If it weren't for the slight swing of the skirt, it would have been suspicious that she had stood there all this time without moving.

There was silence in the hall, and there was no sound for a long time, and when Concubine Duan Shun stood up, there was a cry of surprise.

A girl stood up and clapped her hands and chanted loudly: "Huo Ruyi shoots nine sunsets, like the emperor of the group and the dragon soars, like thunder to collect anger, like the river and the sea condense the light." ”

The sentence she recited was the sentence in the Tang Dynasty poet Du Fu's "Sword Weapon Xing", which praised the demeanor of the grandson of the sword master when she danced the sword.

As far as the sword dance itself is concerned, Sizhen's dance is definitely not top-notch, but being able to dance to such a level at her age seems to have everyone's taste, and her sword dance is more like a sword dance, which also shows that she herself has a deep attainment in swordsmanship.

In the midst of exclamations and admiration, in the curtain behind the main seat of the side hall, there was a pair of eyes firmly staring at Sizhen's pale cyan figure, and they never moved away.

And Sizhen didn't understand the purpose of Concubine Duanshun until she left.

Is it just to get her to come over and perform a dance?

When she walked out of the side hall with Concubine Duanshun's palace maid, she still didn't think about it.

And Thrush saw that Sizhen's face was solemn, and the heart that had just been put down was also a little uneasy, so neither the master nor the servant found that they were walking the same way they came.

"Are you the Han man's Gege?"

Hearing the question, Sizhen raised his head and saw a man standing in front of him who looked like he was twenty-four or five years old, wearing a dark yellow Panlong court dress, embroidered with "Haihai Jiangya" on the hem, and wearing a red velvet knot crown on his head.

Judging by the clothes, it is clear that this sword-eyed man is a prince.

At the Qianqiu banquet, there were royal relatives in the outer hall to congratulate, and this prince may have accidentally walked to the back.

There is a difference between men and women, Sizhen did not answer his words, but only stood on the side of the road with the thrush and the palace maid according to the rules, and made his debut for the prince.

The prince took two steps, but did not walk away, but walked up to Sizhen and asked again, "Are you that Han personality?" ”

As he spoke, a burst of wine came to his face.

Obviously, this prince has drunk, and he has drunk a lot, and he is already a little drunk.

Sizhen hurriedly retreated again, squatted down, and wanted to go back.

But before she could turn around, the chamberlain next to the prince blocked their way with a single arrow step.

"Why don't you answer?"

Sizhen was wondering if this person had anything to do with Concubine Duanshun, and the palace maid standing behind her said tremblingly: "Prince Chengze, this is a place for the ladies to feast and drink, you shouldn't have come here, are you looking for Fujin?" The slave maid is looking for someone to inform you that this Zhen Gege was invited by Concubine Duanshun, and please let us go over......"

Prince Shuo Sai of Heshuo Chengze, the fifth son of Emperor Taizong Taiji, the fifth brother of the current emperor, can be good at poetry and painting, has outstanding military achievements, and is highly used, and was named the king of parliament not long ago.

In early October, the Fifth Dalai Lama, the Tibetan religious leader, Ngawang Lobsang Shetso, came to Beijing to meet him at the invitation of the emperor.

Such a prince who is an all-round man in civil and military affairs is a pillar of the country, and he should only get drunk to come here by mistake.

Originally, she was a little suspicious of Concubine Duanshun, but when she heard the palace maid's words, Sizhen also dispelled her doubts.

She lowered her head and waited for Prince Chengze, who had heard this, to give way to them.
