Volume 1 Spoiling Chapter 15 Shoulder to Shoulder
In the blink of an eye, the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve has arrived. Just after the hour, I heard the busy voices of the palaces, but the Yikun Palace was quiet and quiet, which made people wonder.
At the time of Chen, Xuan Ye set up a banquet in the Taihe Hall to celebrate with the sky. Subsequently, the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager led the harem concubines and Xuan Ye to burn incense and worship the Buddha in various places inside and outside the palace, set up offerings to the ancestors, and prayed for the blessing of the gods.
The feast began at three o'clock. In the middle of the Qianqing Palace, the south side of the flat is placed on the emperor's golden dragon banquet table, and the queen mother and the queen mother's golden dragon banquet table are placed on the left and right ground.
The Qianqing Palace is laid out on the ground of the ground, and the banquet table of the main seat of the inner court and the prince Fujin is arranged. The first table on the east side is Concubine Wan, Concubine Tong, the second table is Concubine Yun, Rong Guiren, and the third table is Hui Guiren An Guiren. The fourth table is for the nobles and the nobles. There will be a number of banquets in the back, all of which will be seated with the title obtained.
The first table on the west side is Prince Yu Fuquan and his Fujin Xiluke Yiyun, the second table is Prince Gong Changning and his Fujin Nala clan, and the third table is Prince Chun Longxi. There are also a number of accompanying banquets, all of which sit on the princes and their families.
When Shen, the two corridors of the Qianqing Palace played the music of Shao. Xuan Ye first invited the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager to take a seat, and then Xuan Ye's palace was elevated, and the Empress Le Shang and the princess Fujin were seated, and the banquet began.
After the hot meal, he sent a box of soup and rice to the main seat of the inner court, and then entered milk tea. When entering the wine, I overheard the Empress Dowager say: "The mourning family heard that Concubine Wan said that for this Chinese New Year's Eve, everyone is prepared. Why not make fun of the big guys at this moment. ”
Listening to the words of the Empress Dowager, Concubine Wan smiled knowingly. Let the noble people who have been prepared for a long time come out.
Jin Guiren hugged the guqin to the platform, and the melodious and tactful sound of the piano sounded extremely cheerful. Immediately afterwards, Mu promised to dance another dance, which was praiseworthy.
"The concubine heard that the nobles are versatile, why don't you also perform for everyone?" Seeing that Chun Xi had been silent, Concubine Tong became anxious. What kind of medicine is sold in this gourd? So mysterious. I have never said whether I want to write poetry or dance tonight.
"Oh? Is there such a person in the grandchild's harem? When the Empress Dowager heard this, she immediately became interested and looked at Xuan Ye beside her.
"Since it is Concubine Tong's suggestion, it is better to invite a noble person to perform, so that you can know if this versatility is worthy of its reputation." The queen mother on the side was also curious when she heard it.
Chun Xi sneered secretly, she had never shown her talent in front of everyone, but Concubine Tong knew it clearly. It's a pity that she has been unprepared at all these days, how can she have the sound of Jin Guiren's piano and the soft dance posture of Mu Promise? Now it's just a joke for the people to see.
Chun Xi stood up elegantly and flicked her body slightly: "Back to the Empress Dowager, Chun Xi is not as stupid as Concubine Tong has heard of it, but Chun Xi feels that what she lets herself perform on stage alone is also what I think is proficient, and it is natural to perform well, it is really boring." The concubine had an idea. ”
"Tell me about it." When the Empress Dowager heard this, she felt more interesting and immediately asked her.
"It's nothing if you can do your own good things perfectly, if you can do other people's good things well, you can count it as a skill." With a smile on her face, she glanced around, full of good looks: "It's better to let everyone think of a piece that they are good at and write it on paper, and then put it in a box, extract them one by one, and do what you draw according to what you say above." If you're lucky enough to come across something you're good at, that's good. If you draw something you are not good at, you should be punished with three glasses of wine. Luckily? ”
"That sounds like an interesting idea." The Empress Dowager looked at Chunxi with a look of appreciation. also immediately understood something, and said to Xuan Ye: "The mourning family thinks this is a good idea. ”
"My grandson also thinks it's feasible." Xuan Ye also smiled in return, he was already interested in Chunxi's proposal, and now that the Empress Dowager said so, naturally no one would have any objections.
"What about the others?" The Empress Dowager turned her head to look at everyone around her.
"The concubine also thinks it's good." Concubine Wan smiled, this is indeed a smart person. Concubine Tong wanted to see her jokes, but she wasn't sure who would see whose jokes at this time.
Everyone else is naturally clever, the empress dowager and the emperor have spoken, and even Concubine Wan has agreed, who can say no.
Concubine Wan ordered Ziyan to put away the notes written by everyone.
"Why don't you ask the nobles to come first?" Concubine Wan smiled gently at Chunxi, and then smiled at Xuan Ye.
Chunxi stood quietly in place, and Ziyan was ordered to bring the box to Chunxi. Looking around, they were all watching the show, and they didn't hide it at all.
"Naturally, the concubines should come first, but if they come one by one like this, I'm afraid they won't be able to finish it until next morning. Why don't you take this opportunity to play another game? Chun Xi smiled, looked at the Queen Mother and said.
"Go on." The Empress Dowager is rising at this moment, and when she heard her say this, she suddenly became energetic.
"Drumming and passing flowers. As soon as the drum fell, the flower was passed to whomever it was, and a note was drawn from the box. Whatever is written on it, do it one by one. Otherwise, a penalty of three glasses is given. "This is a game often played by big families outside the palace, and there are occasionally one or two such games in the palace, but it is really the first time to play on such an occasion.
No one could have thought that Chunxi would put forward such an opinion, and someone was about to open his mouth to dismiss it, when he heard the voice of the Empress Dowager.
"Good! Good! Good! The Empress Dowager was even more amazed when she heard this, and clapped her hands again and again: "Everyone here must participate, and the mourning family and the emperor must be together." This family should be so happy. ”
"Come on, according to what the noble man said, prepare it immediately." It is rare for the Empress Dowager to be so interested, Xuan Ye immediately commanded.
"The emperor is slow. Why should these things be taken by anyone, they are found in this great temple. Chun Xi got up, walked to Xuan Ye, took all the flowers on his table for decoration, made a flower ball as fast as possible, and said: "It's good to use this, just ask the musician to blindfold and play the drum, stop at will, and the flowers will be in anyone's hand in the end, even if it is anyone's." ”
"Good. Then the mourners will come first. When the Empress Dowager heard this, she was happy again. This girl is really different, and she can come up with such a method. Su Mo'er and Mama Su, who was next to the Empress Dowager, heard this, and immediately stepped forward to take the flower ball in Chunxi's hand and handed it to the Empress Dowager.
The drum sounded, and the Empress Dowager quickly passed the flower ball in her hand to Xuan Ye, and Xuan Ye passed the flower ball to the Empress Dowager, one after another. The drumming stopped abruptly, and the flower ball fell into Concubine Tong's hands. Concubine Tong smiled again and again, but she looked extremely embarrassed, but in the end, she was steady, and then she took out a note from the box in Ziyan's hand.
"Pipa song." Zi Yan read out the words on the note, and Concubine Tong suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and her smile was much more natural.
Concubine Tong's side took the pipa from the musician's hand, and Concubine Tong walked to the center of the hall, sat on the stool that had been prepared, and played it casually. The song "Yangchun Ancient Song", with a brisk and smooth rhythm, is actually a promise. Although it was not better than the musicians present, it was far better than the pipa masters who were shouting. It seems that Concubine Tong has drawn a good question.
The drum beat again, this time by Concubine Tong to pass the flower ball. The drum stopped, and the flower ball was finally in Xuan Ye's hands. Xuan Ye smiled and took one out of the box with great interest, but only asked him to write a blessing word. Xuan Ye was a little dissatisfied, why couldn't he draw a more difficult question. I want to, but I can't do it. Only a blessing word was written on the royal pen, and then it was given to Concubine Tong, who had just finished playing the pipa and was happy.
The drum beat again, and when the drum stopped, the flower ball fell into the hands of Prince Gong Fujin Nala, and the note he drew was actually a poem. This is difficult for Prince Gong, who is not good at poetry, Fujin, so he has to drink three cups in a row as a punishment. When everyone saw this, they were even more interested, but they were afraid that the flower ball would fall into their hands in the end.
After playing two more rounds, the flower ball finally fell into the hands of Chunxi.
Chun Xi reached out and took out a piece of paper in the box and handed it to Ziyan.
Zi Yan opened it, saw the words on it clearly, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise up. She read out the words on the note: "Dance and paint." ”
The corners of her eyebrows trembled when she heard this, and she glanced around, all of them were puzzled, only Jin Guiren lowered her head and snickered.
"The nobleman has drawn a good question." Concubine Tong said with a smile: "This dance and painting is the specialty of the noble Jin. Jin Guiren is not only good at dancing, but also at the level of calligraphy and painting. I heard that the nobles like to paint on weekdays, but I don't know if this dancing is good? ”
Chunxi lowered her head slightly and returned: "Chunxi only understands a little." ”
"These are two things, but the nobles of Jin have combined them into one. But it's brilliant. Concubine Wan also smiled. At the beginning, it was precisely because of this attitude that the noble Jin changed from a small palace maid of Si Le Si to a noble person today.
"The nobleman is going to be punished for drinking." Noble Jin got up and picked up his wine glass, smiling slightly, very proud. Unexpectedly, I wrote it casually today and gave her a problem.
Concubine Tong also looked at Chunxi, and was very happy in her heart. Fang Cai thought that he was asking for his own hardship, but this time he dug a pit by himself and jumped into it. I can understand what she just said, although I don't believe it, but this dance painting is not an easy task, even if it is a person who is good at dancing skills, I am afraid it cannot be easily completed. No matter how well this noble man paints, it is useless now.
Just when everyone was waiting to see Chunxi's jokes, Chunxi was not in a hurry, but said calmly: "Let the concubine go and prepare." Seeing that Xuan Ye had agreed, Chun Xi left his seat with Shu Sleeves. After she left, the drums started again, and when she went to prepare, she didn't rest, and still played.
Maybe they're just trying to be happy to be able to watch the excitement for a while.
"Hurry up and let people go, Mu Hui called over." Chun Xi commanded as he walked.
Shu Sleeve also left in a hurry, although she didn't know what Chunxi wanted to do now, but she was also interested in seeing how Chunxi survived today's predicament.
Success or failure is in this move, if he is embarrassed today, I am afraid that he will be difficult to be favored by the emperor in the future. Although this is a deliberate difficulty for Concubine Tong, it can be noted that she came out by herself, and she also smoked the strip herself, and she took a bite. If it's messed up, I'm afraid it's really a good show
