Chapter 55: The Eldest Princess (2)
Yuan Yongyan stepped forward, hugged the imperial sister into her arms with a heartache, and said softly, "Don't think about it." ”
"I heard it, I really heard it." The eldest princess's eyes were red, her expression was excited, and her hands hidden in her sleeves trembled slightly.
Yuan Yongyan held her hand painfully, after that incident, the imperial sister seemed to have become a puppet without emotion, no sadness, no joy, no laughter or crying, sometimes I really hope that she can shout out loud, and even crying once is better than suppressing the pain in the bottom of her heart, but she is always quiet, and she is so excited to see her for the first time in three years.
"It's him, it must be him, he's back." Breaking free from holding his hand, he couldn't help but follow the direction of the sound.
The flocculent thin clouds covered half of the moon girl, and the distant light was hazy like a phantom. In the quiet night, even the sound of insects became inaudible, and I don't know if it was the sound of the flute or the flute, Yuan Yongyan frowned slightly.
On Concubine Su's birthday, everyone naturally did not dare to slack off. Chu Junxi sat in front of the carved bronze mirror and was combed by Linglong, his long black and silky hair was coiled into a beautiful bun, revealing a white and graceful neck, two platinum flowers were pasted on the sideburns, two beaded hairpins were inserted side by side, and the long tassels hung down on the side of the ear, simple and elegant. The clothes are exquisite, and a silver silk ink snow jasmine with buds is worn with sleeves and waist Luo skirt palace dress, and the skirt is embroidered with layers of silver threads with jasmine, dazzling and luxurious.
Chu Jun said with regret, "Won't it be too conspicuous?" ”
Linglong said, "But the slave maid thinks it's very beautiful." ”
Chu Junxi shook his head, the last thing he needs now is to be beautiful, he is a thorn in Su Xueyao's flesh, it is better not to compete with other concubines, "Go and change it." ”
Linglong brought a crescent-colored palace dress, on which was a lighter silk thread embroidered with a dark pattern, and the skirt was swaying to the ground, simple but elegant, Chu Jun nodded with satisfaction, "Very good." ”
Linglong was extremely dissatisfied, tied a light purple palace silk to her, and smiled, "It's better this way." ”
Chu Jun cherished her, and the two went out.
The carefully arranged Qingfeng Pavilion was gorgeous and elegant, and when Chu Jun arrived, half of the people had already arrived, sitting around Su Xueyao, flattering and complimenting.
"Xinyue Ju Ning Jieyu has seen Concubine Su." Chu Jun curtsied.
The joyful atmosphere of talking and laughing suddenly quieted down, and everyone looked at the people in the center of the hall in unison. Su Xueyao smiled softly, "Ning Jieyu, please get up." ”
Chu Junxi picked up a seat far away from Su Xueyao and sat down, she was not good friends in the harem, so she had almost no friends, and Chu Junxi was a little surprised when the beauty in pink palace clothes next to her took the initiative to talk to her.
"You are Ning Jieyu of Xinyueju? I've only heard of you, but I've never seen you in person, you're so beautiful. She spoke softly, not hostilely, just to herself.
"Thank you." Chu Jun laughed because she found that she didn't even know what the other party's name was.
The pink-clothed beauty put a piece of osmanthus cake in her mouth and continued, "You don't know who I am, I'm Tong Zhaoyi from Yanyun Palace." ”
"Xinyue Ju Ning Jieyu has seen Tong Zhaoyi." The other party's grade was above his own, and Chu Jun was busy saluting.
"It's free, this snack is good, you can try it." Tong Zhaoyi waved her hand and sent the osmanthus cake to her.
It was difficult to resist the hospitality, Chu Jun took a pity to twist a piece and put it in his mouth, and the soft sweetness spread in his mouth.
Tong Zhaoyi couldn't help but eat another piece, "Isn't it delicious?" ”
Chu Junxi nodded, and just as he was about to speak, he saw Qiu Zhaoyi walk in, the slender figure was weak but revealing a sense of tenacity, after Qiu Zhaoyi sat down, someone walked in, Chu Junxi was surprised to find that it was the eldest princess, although she was not standing with the eldest princess in the near place, but the light blue palace dress was familiar to herself, and there was that indifferent sadness, no one thought about it.
Su Xueyao got up and went down the steps to greet people, "The eldest princess is here, I am really flattered." ”
Everyone knows that the eldest princess doesn't like to be lively, so she never participates in banquets, and Su Xueyao's use of the word flattered is not an exaggeration.
"The concubine's birthday, how can Huayin not come."
Huayin? Chu Jun felt that the name was very familiar, but when he thought about it carefully, he couldn't remember hearing it there.
After the eldest princess took her seat, the banquet officially began, with gold cups and silver cups and gold plates and bowls, and exquisite and delicious snacks, all of which aroused the greed in people's hearts. The silk and bamboo dance is beautiful, and the breeze pavilion is happy.
The Qing concubine of the Water Shadow Building danced into the sky, fluttering dresses, flying ribbons, like fairies soaring in the air, Song Shuyi is obviously after hard practice, her waist seems to be soft and boneless, her every move is elegant and unrestrained, the skirt and the streamers on her hands fly up at the same time with her movements, with the void against the wind, giving people the feeling of fluttering and soaring. The quiet and peaceful artistic conception of flying is vividly expressed.
Everyone was intoxicated by her dance, and they couldn't come back to their senses for a long time, until the crisp applause sounded from outside the door.
Yuan Yongyan picked up the golden hairpin that fell to the ground and inserted it in his hair for him, and tenderness overflowed his eyes.
"The concubine has seen the emperor." Qing Concubine said shyly.
"The emperor came in person, I am very honored." Su Xueyao came down from the first place, and after Yuan Yongyan took the seat in the first place, she did not hesitate to take the seat next to her.
Qing Concubine sat down on the other side of the emperor, forcibly endured the excitement in her heart, turned a blind eye to the vicious gaze of envy and jealousy from everyone, from today onwards her position in the harem will not be whispered, I didn't expect that a flying dance could change her fate, God treats herself well, and her years of hard work have finally paid off.
"We have been throwing bricks and attracting jade for a long time, and it is time for Ning Jieyu to show Hou Yan's unique dance posture." Su Xueyao said with a smile.
As soon as she said a word, everyone turned their eyes on Chu Junxi, Chu Junxi got up slowly, he didn't say that he wanted to dance, but it was obviously unwise to refute Su Xueyao's words at this time.
Yuan Yongyan raised her eyes, "Oh? Can the concubine dance? I don't know. ”
"The Emperor's ......"
"Concubines can't dance." Chu Junxi said before Su Xueyao spoke, "The concubine has been learning to recently, and she has the courage to show her ugliness. ”
Yuan Yongyan raised her hand.
Since it was proposed by the emperor, everyone no longer had any objections, Chu Junxi took the jade flute handed over by Linglong, raised it to his lips, and the crisp sound of the flute recalled in the hall.
Chu Jun did not learn to blow the flute for a long time, so he didn't play very well, although the song was smooth, but it was still far from being able to express the fascinating artistic conception in it.
Chu Jun bowed her head with a weak heart, and then heard the sound of the teacup breaking, she looked up suddenly, only to see the eldest princess looking at her in shock, the teacup obviously fell down because she was standing.
"You, how could you ......"
This piece was created by him, so he is the only one who can play it, so after hearing the sound of the flute, he will naturally think that he is back.
Everyone was puzzled, and with curious eyes, they watched the changes in the temple.
"Chief, eldest princess?" Chu Junxi held the jade flute, a little at a loss.
Yuan Huayin looked at her fixedly, the mist in his eyes was hazy, he couldn't tell whether he was more happy or disappointed, he found the person who gave the, but that person was not him.
"Where did you learn this tune?"
Su Xueyao looked at the eldest princess who was in a trance, and then set her eyes on Chu Junxi, thinking of the news that Ju'er brought to her, and instantly understood the reason. They didn't have to make excuses to make excuses, they sent them to the door, and if they didn't make good use of this opportunity, God would not let them go.
"Ning Jieyu has reached such a level when she first learns to, which is really rare." Su Xueyao intercepted the topic and said, "If you practice in the future, you will definitely be able to achieve higher achievements." ”
"The concubine praises falsely."
Su Xueyao's gaze turned to Yuan Huayin, "Looking at the appearance of the eldest princess, she must be extraordinary in the flute, so it is better to play a song to open our eyes." ”
Yuan Huayin shook his head slowly, and returned to his chair.
