Chapter 66: Playing with Drums
In the afternoon, the concubines of the three palaces and six courtyards all sent gifts to me.
This kind of treatment is only qualified for the show girls who enter the palace draft, and the reason is just because they are all rudderless.
Clear-eyed people look at it in their eyes and feel that this little palace maid has changed from an ugly girl to a beauty overnight and has been appreciated by the prince of Yuanyao.
In fact, in comparison, it is better for me to fight with Concubine De, the so-called help of Prince Yuanyao only gave me a great problem, and there was no substantial help, but it might make me ugly.
After all, Yuan Yao is a foreign race, and the type of music and dance they like will be very different from Beiyan, which can be seen from the clothes. The dance I can dance may not be in his eyes, and Aunt Chongzi is not around, so I can't find anyone to discuss.
"Sister Su Jin, come and see this gift." Snow beckoned me to pass.
Take a closer look, it turned out to be a pair of embroidered bow shoes, the pearl of the South China Sea inlaid with water blue Su brocade, and the cinnabar flowers bloom on the upper of the shoe, winding and winding like a branch.
These shoes are indeed excellent with that dance suit, but they are a little thick in the hand, obviously there is no heel, and the insole inside is as thick as a finger.
"Look at the gift list, these shoes were sent by Mu Meiren, sister, haven't you always been at odds with her? She's ...... Painful change? It's weird, but I think you'd better be cautious. ”
I shook my head, I couldn't think of a reason for a while, but Mu Han knew that I would never forgive her for killing Yinyue, if she came to show goodwill, then she really didn't have a brain.
Ruxue felt novel, put the shoes on her feet and circled on the ground, and the soft white pearl was smeared with a faint luster, enveloping the surface of her feet.
Suddenly, she leaned and her ankle was crutched, but she quickly recovered and seemed fine.
She took off her shoes and looked at other objects, rummaging through them, with a childlike look of joy on her face.
I took the shoe in my hand and looked at it, my fingers reached into the shoe and pressed gently, as expected, I could feel a slight bulge in the shoe, if I just put it on, it would not feel abnormal, but if I used it to dance, the broken porcelain buried deep in it would penetrate into the center of my foot, and it would be extremely difficult to take a single step, let alone dancing.
She wants me to make a fool of myself at the banquet, and then follow Concubine Li's example to find a substitute for the dead ghost, even if there is no substitute for the dead ghost, it is estimated that there will be someone in the palace to carry it for her.
"What's wrong? Having trouble with your shoes? Ruxue has a sugar snowball in her mouth, chewing and talking, leisurely.
"Nope." I smiled and replied, "These shoes go well with that dress, so wear them when you dance." ”
Ruxue is simple, I better not stir her into this kind of filthy thing.
Since Mu Han wants to kill herself, I will give her a chance to knock her down in one fell swoop.
She nodded, fell headlong on the bed, and consciously pulled the quilt open and fell asleep.
When I lifted the covers, she rolled on her side, making a mess on the bed.
"It's getting dark soon, go back quickly, winter is no better than summer."
She muttered a few words and sat up from the bed. "I'm not leaving, I'm going to sleep here tonight."
"What?"
She rubbed her hair and said pitifully: "The eldest sister came back with her husband, and every night she said that I was not doing my job, and I was not good at learning how to teach my husband and children, and I didn't have a husband at such a big age...... It's so annoying, I was going to hide from the queen for two days, but she is not well, I don't want to disturb her. ”
When it comes to the queen, I feel that there must be something inside, as the mother of a country in Beiyan, she has not appeared once in the past half a year. Yuan Yaoguo came to visit, no matter how she said it, it was not Concubine De's turn to preside over the main situation, but as the queen, she became a completely useless transparent person, and even Bei Yuliang had only been there once or twice in half a year.
"Queen...... Is the disease serious? Why have I never seen her? I folded the quilt and pretended to lift it unintentionally.
Ruxue sighed, moved to the side of the bed and whispered: "I'll only tell you about this alone." Don't tell anyone. ”
I nodded solemnly in agreement.
"The queen mother is my mother's family, and when I was a child, I actually got married, and I had a childhood sweetheart. Later, the queen mother may have considered the strength of my mother's family and married her into the palace, you think, the queen is the niece of General Liu Sunu next to the first emperor, and her temperament is also strong. On the second day of the wedding, he eloped with his childhood sweetheart, and of course he was arrested in the end. This is a royal scandal, but they can't abolish the queen, so they can only put her under house arrest in disguise, and the queen's position is also useless. As long as she stays in the palace and the family benefits each other, they will not abolish her. ”
I didn't expect the queen to have such a past, and if she used it, it could also become a stepping stone for us to restore the country......
"So, what about her childhood sweetheart?"
Ruxue didn't expect me to ask this question, so she replied, "Dead, do you think they might let him live." ”
This sounds a bit like an excerpt from an excerpt, but it's a sad story after all, and I don't feel comfortable after listening to it.
"Okay, that's one day, go back tomorrow, otherwise your father will think that I, the little palace maid, have abducted you."
She grinned, and tossed again.
I was thinking about how to deal with this Hongmen banquet, none of the dances I learned were suitable for this dress, let alone the eyes of his prince Yuanyao.
Now is not the time to compare your skills, it is better to be able to win by surprise.
In the evening, I ate some porridge and side dishes, and I had no appetite.
is like snow eating self-joy, it is not easy for a daughter to develop such a temperament.
The courtyard was cold, walking at the door, my mind was a mess, and I couldn't think of anything.
Casually broke off a branch, gestured twice in the air, leaned back, and fell directly to the ground with an unstable center of gravity.
In winter, the weather was dry and cold, and the ground was frozen solidly, so I fell directly and dizzy, and sat on the ground for a long time without relieving myself.
After thinking about it, forget about the sword dance, and take a sword with the amiable palace banquet, who can like it when you see it.
The house is as light as a bean, such as snow is estimated to have fallen asleep a long time ago, said to accompany me to practice dancing to find a way, before going out said that it was too cold, directly retracted into the quilt.
Sighing helplessly, he got up and patted the dust on his clothes.
Ran a few laps in the yard to warm up before I felt less cold.
Turning his head, he saw a tall figure, shrouded in darkness, and behind him was a faint faint yellow light, casting a dark shadow on him.
I said goodbye, and he walked slowly.
"Did you catch a cold?" He put his warm palm over my ear, and a wave of warmth spread from the pinna.
"Please forgive Su Jin for deceiving ......" was interrupted by him before he finished speaking.
"If I don't forgive you, you'll be in jail for a long time." He smiled, his thin lips slightly curved, and he looked like two people during the day. "If I protect you again, there will definitely be unrest in the harem again, sometimes protecting you will hurt you, and it will be uncomfortable if you don't protect yourself, it's really embarrassing."
His tone rose up, revealing helplessness.
"Your Majesty."
He scratched the tip of my nose with his index finger slightly and said, "So unfamiliar?" ”
I let out a white breath and smiled.
"What kind of dance have you figured out?" He asked.
I shook my head and kicked away the pebbles that were at my feet.
"Don't force yourself, just say a reason when the time comes, and I'll let someone else do it for you. When the people of Yuanyao Country are sent away, it will be Chinese New Year's Eve soon, how about we set off fireworks to watch the flower drum show? ”
To put it mildly, I don't think the so-called prince is so easy to fool.
Suddenly, he was stunned and asked, "What did the emperor just say?" ”
He was stunned by my question, "I said, don't force yourself. ”
"No, there is."
The smile on his lips grew brighter and wider, and he reached out to ruffle my hair. "Chinese New Year's Eve......"
"That's right! I knew what I was going to dance. ”
Before he could react, I dragged him to the utility warehouse next to the secretary's room, because I was too excited to notice the change in his expression.
When he arrived at the utility warehouse, he let go of the hand that was tugging at his wrist, slightly embarrassed.
It was easy to get the key, and the utility compartment was indeed a place to put the sundries, a piece of dust, lit a wax, and the candlelight shone through the chaotic dust.
In a few moments, his bright yellow robe was stained.
After a careful search, I found what I was looking for. Blowing the dust on it makes a choking smell.
"Come and help me move out." I have consciously not regarded him as a little emperor with fine clothes and food.
"That's it?" He pointed to the half-human-tall drum in front of him, his face puzzled.
By the time we moved the big guy out, he was covered in sweat, and he sat down on his ass, regardless of how much dust there was on it.
"How do you dance in such a small place?" He asked, patting his hand on the drum and kicking up a cloud of dust.
I put my hands on the drum and beat it in different directions, and the different directions and different forces on the drum surface should produce a sonorous and slightly dull sound, and the rhythm of the drum beat happened to be a single piece of music.
The more he played, the more cheerful he became, and he didn't stop until his palms were numb.
"The dance music that Prince Yuanyao said is not just dance, but also a combination of music and dance. The dance steps on the feet are different forces, and the rhythm of the sound of the blow is a natural combination of the two. Compared to the soft and gorgeous ancient dance of the Central Plains, they should prefer this unexpected feeling. "I don't care if the drum surface is dirty or not, I just lie on it, and when I open my eyes, I just see the sky full of stars, dazzling and dazzling.
He also followed my example, half-lying on the drum. "There is a Zhao Feiyan in the Western Han Dynasty, and there is a Liu Sujin in the Northern Yan, both of whom can be recorded in history."
"The slave doesn't dare to compare with Queen Zhao." I deliberately learned from him to raise his voice, and I felt that I was in a good mood.
