Chapter 142: Dancing Grass
Luo Xia in the audience has been approved by Concubine Ling, and she bowed to Mo Guhan and Yuehua in a curling manner, and then sat down in front of Jiaowei, took a deep breath, raised her hand lightly, and immediately a spring sound flowed out.
Yuehua doesn't know much about vocal music, and she sounds a little bored and absent-minded. also only raised his eyes to look at the warbler Yanyan in a room, secretly speculating which one could enter Mo Guhan's eyes.
This Luoxia is superior in appearance and bearing among all the nobles, and it is no wonder that she is so confident and dares to be the first to play, without fear. You must know that if you listen to this music, you will inevitably get tired after listening to it, and even if it is the sound of immortals, it is difficult to arouse the heart of amazement.
At the end of the song, there was little applause, and one after another people stepped forward to play, Concubine Ling came to the two of them, tired of Mo Guhan approaching, and introduced the origin of the nobles to Mo Guhan with a smile, and there were many praises. Mo Guhan didn't say a word, only nodded occasionally, which made people puzzled by his mind.
Concubine Ling was secretly a little anxious, today the Queen Mother explained this errand to her, she also took great pains to do this, and began to arrange it two or three days in advance, and she was even more considerate of the list of participants in the banquet. If Mo Guhan didn't appreciate it at all, wouldn't he waste a lot of hard work?
She cautiously looked at Mo Guhan's face, and felt more and more that he was absent-minded, and did not take these beautiful beauties in front of her in his eyes.
There was a shrill voice outside the hall, dragging a long tail note: "The Queen Mother has arrived!" ”
Everyone in the hall immediately got up and knelt down to greet each other, and the dressed queen mother came in peacefully surrounded by the palace people, with a smile on her face.
"The mourning family also came to join in the fun."
Concubine Ling immediately took a reassuring pill, happily stepped forward to support her, and went straight to where Yuehua Shicai was sitting: "The Queen Mother is late, and she missed many exquisite performances of Shicai. ”
The Queen Mother raised her eyebrows slightly, stretched out her hand at Mo Guhan, and motioned for him to sit down in front of her, and immediately a palace person stepped forward to relocate the seat at the lower place, and Yuehua and Concubine Ling sat on the left and right.
"The emperor will tell me, which daughter plays the song you prefer?"
Mo Guhan bowed slightly: "Each has its own merits, it is difficult to distinguish between them, and the emperor can't say anything for a while." ”
The Queen Mother slowly glanced at the nobles: "If they are really charming, it is no wonder that the emperor is dazzled." Today's mourning family can be regarded as a blessing for the ears. ”
Concubine Ling immediately understood: "If there is anyone who has not offered skills, there is no need to twist, just come forward generously, if it is in line with the queen mother's wishes, the palace will be rewarded." ”
As soon as the words fell, someone in the audience responded delicately: "Si Yin dares to sacrifice ugliness." ”
The Queen Mother had a smile on the corner of her mouth: "I haven't seen him, just by this voice, like a pearl falling on a jade plate, I know that he must be a wonderful person." It's a brilliant name. ”
A girl in a spring goose yellow silk yarn palace dress came out from the back of the crowd, with a touch of flowers on her forehead against the willow eyebrows like a knife, and her forehead like a jade carving, a neat and wonderful person! Shicai has been silent and unassuming, and now he suddenly stands out, which is stunning at a glance.
The woman bowed down, and Concubine Ling introduced: "This is the daughter of the household department in the Shilang Mansion, the ancestral home is Huguang, and it is much gentler than our rough and loud northern women. ”
The Queen Mother bowed: "No wonder such a water-like bearing, and the upbringing at home is good." ”
Yuehua knew the origin of this woman. The head of the household plays a pivotal role in the court, which is located in the lord is just seconded from other provinces back to Beijing, in Hunan, Hubei and other places quite influential, it is said that there are many contacts with the queen mother's family, it seems that the queen mother is trying to take this opportunity to win over to her own name.
Si Yin got the head of Concubine Ling, lowered her head to Jiao Weiqin, and bent down to hold the qin into her arms: "The little girl saw Tianyan for the first time, she was terrified, she was really nervous, and she asked the little girl to play with her back." ”
The Queen Mother smiled kindly and waved her hand: "It's okay, it's okay, it's okay." ”
Si Yin held the piano in his arms, walked to the side of the hall, half-turned around, sat on the velvet carpet, put the Jiaowei piano on his lap and lay it flat, and then stretched out his fingers and began to "play" eloquently.
The Queen Mother slowly closed her eyes, full of smiles, as if she was drunk and infatuated, and bowed her head again and again.
The whole hall is silent, only the sound of the piano lingers, endlessly.
Yuehua felt bitter in her heart, knowing that after the end of the song, the Queen Mother would definitely make the decision to enrich the harem for Mo Guhan's concubine, there is no doubt about it.
Since the ancient palace, a generation of new people has replaced the old people, happily walking in the heart of the day, facing the east and twilight, how can he expect him to be the unwavering Big Dipper for thousands of years?
She thought wildly, and the crowd began to whisper, not loud at first, but then like a pot of boiling water licked by a flame, it gradually boiled, and the sound became louder and louder.
Yuehua listened carefully, and someone was whispering: "Oh my God, how can this grass move?" It's like dancing, it's so unusual! ”
"If there is no wind and automatic, can even flowers and plants enjoy the music?"
Yuehua looked intently, where Si Yin sat on his back, there was a row of flowers and plants, two of which could not be called famous, there were no flowers, and the leaves were as green and slender as peach leaves.
At this time, a few tender green new leaves at the top are gently swaying from side to side with the music played by Si Yin, just like a dancer gently spinning, and like a colorful phoenix nodding and swaying.
Yuehua pays attention to the surroundings, the main hall is not ventilated in order to keep warm, this pot of flowers is obviously not swaying by the wind, but dancing by itself!
At this time, the Queen Mother and Mo Guhan heard the noisy discussions around them, and they also turned around, paying attention to this magical scene, and praised it: "In ancient times, there were beauties who sank fish and geese, and closed the moon and shy flowers. ”
Si Yin's song was nearing the end, and he slowly stopped his fingertips, the aftermath was still lingering, and the grass slowly gathered its leaves and stood still.
A noble lady standing near Si Yin curiously plucked the strings twice, or high-fived, and the blades of grass did not move at all, and she became more and more unaware.
Yuehua doesn't believe in any nonsense, just like what Chang Lingyan did a few days ago, there must be something greasy in it, I am afraid that it has been arranged a long time ago, and it will not be able to escape from the Queen Mother and Concubine Ling.
The Queen Mother looked at Mo Guhan with a smile, and asked straight to the point: "This girl's piano sound is wonderful, and there doesn't seem to be such a proficient person around the emperor now, if you stay by your side, you also have a pastime in your spare time, what does the emperor think of this sound?" ”
Concubine Ling smiled reluctantly, and said against her will: "Siyin drums and pianos, Ling Er is good at dancing, if the two of us can serve the emperor together, it can be regarded as fate." ”
Mo Guhan glanced at the shy Si Yin lightly, and did not express his position, but turned his head to Yuehua and said: "The court is messy, I don't have to worry about this harem matter, and I will leave it to the queen to arrange." ”
The Queen Mother was a little displeased when she heard this, and her sharp eyes swept towards Yuehua: "This matter of taking a concubine should indeed be worried about the queen." The emperor's harem is empty, and no one can share the emperor's worries, which is the queen's responsibility. The queen looks at how this score is evaluated, right? ”
Yuehua didn't expect Mo Guhan to hand this hot potato to herself, and she was a little embarrassed for a while.
In fact, this matter is obvious, from beginning to end, it was arranged by the Queen Mother and Concubine Ling, and I am afraid that I have already planned about the title of this Si Yin. If Mo Guhan likes it, he should also accept it. He asked for his opinion, and was afraid that he was not satisfied with the sound? Or do you just want to test yourself?
Yuehua peeked at Mo Guhan and saw that his face was intriguing, and his expression did not reveal half a trace. She was a little hesitant in her heart, whether to refuse or to include? What kind of title should be given for inclusion? What excuse is used for refusal?
Yuehua is naturally reluctant to let this woman enter the palace, aside from her selfishness and jealousy towards Mo Guhan, this woman is the queen mother's person as soon as she enters the palace, so it is inevitable that she will be enemies everywhere. As long as she nods today, she is raising tigers and making enemies for herself in the harem.
She groaned slightly, turned her gaze to the noble girl in the hall, and said with a clever smile: "If the music can relieve worries and make the emperor happy, Yuehua is naturally duty-bound and willing to be a capable person for the emperor." ”
Mo Guhan's face sank, and his gaze was awe-inspiring when he looked at her. Yuehua made his mind clear, and became more emboldened, winking at him playfully.
"This Siyin girl's wonderful music can make flowers and plants dance, which is really a natural sound, and it is really rare. It's just that there are many talented people among these noble girls, but the Queen Mother is not there, so I can't show one or two in front of you. Especially the Luoxia girl, the sound of the piano is even more lingering, and Yuehua still remembers it vividly. Why don't you let her play this song for the Queen Mother to see if she can also move the flowers and plants? ”
That Luoxia was originally a clever and well-behaved character, and when she listened to the repertoire played by Shicai Siyin, she was unconvinced. Seeing Yuehua looking at herself, she quietly glanced at the two pots of flowers and plants, and suddenly woke up.
She didn't wait for the Queen Mother to refute, so she stepped forward to give Shi Ran a salute and said, "Follow the queen's will." ”
Then he walked to the Jiaowei piano, held the piano in his arms, put it on his lap, and played the suitable piece again.
The Queen Mother wanted to stop it, but it was too late, so she glanced at Yuehua, obviously a little angry.
Together with the sound of the falling glow piano, everyone was surprised to find that the two pots of flowers and plants seemed to have received a summons, and began to move without wind, sometimes rotating, sometimes closing, and sometimes trembling, which was really like Lingbo dancing.
Everyone secretly said "weird", thinking of Si Yin's deliberate actions when he was playing, and naturally understood that there was something wrong with it, and looking at Si Yin's gaze was somewhat disdainful.
At the end of Luoxia's song, she was secretly proud, got up and carefully put Jiao Weiqin on the case, and said coquettishly: "Live up to the queen's expectations, although this song is unfamiliar and played unsatisfactory, but Luoxia can also make flowers and plants show visions, which is really wonderful." ”
is not his own good repertoire, but he can also have the same trick, Luo Xia's implication is to belittle Si Yin's piano skills.
