Chapter 29: Chunxiao gambles
Chunxiao's eyes were full of viciousness and smugness, and at this time, Bai Rong glanced at Chunxiao lightly, and Chunxiao immediately withdrew his gaze and changed his innocent color, as if he was clearing himself.
At this time, Princess Sanssouci changed into the simplest plain dance dress, and everyone present was surprised.
There are many dance skirts in the imperial city, all of which are exquisite, and the princesses just now picked out a very dazzling group of birds, thousand-fold skirts and gorgeous painting skirts, etc., after all, in front of the emperor, they all want to seize the opportunity to stand out.
Princess Sanssouci's face is light and light, she is the most cold and silent of the twelve spirit girls, she is not close to people, nor does she like to be showy, she wants to come to the same as me, and she came to this imperial city to follow the emperor's will.
The female official moved the table to the stage and set up the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, Jiang Qianchen is very talented, especially when it comes to calligraphy and painting talents, except for Su Hanyan, none of our spirit women can stand out.
Because Bai Rong was not with them in the morning, a female official went up with the piano and took a position.
The female official's piano skills are superb, Jiang Qianchen flipped her wrist with the sound of the piano, and she waved straight down, with a sense of heroism.
Carefree dances with the sound of the piano lightly, and the water sleeves bring their own breeze, unlike those women's delicate or proud dances, in the carefree dance, I only see sorrow and unfreedom.
Jiang Qianchen's intoxicated writing appearance is extremely charming, but there are people who are carefree on the field, and there are also human emperors, so it is not a worry-free wish.
At the end of the song, people stopped, and they took a few steps back, Jiang Qianchen's maid lightly picked up her ink treasure and displayed it in front of the human emperor.
The women in the audience were all amazed, although Jiang Qianchen was a woman, her brushwork was like a dragon and a snake flying, not losing to a man, and even Emperor Pingyu looked at Jiang Qianchen with appreciation.
Jiang Qianchen didn't look at everyone, bowed his head to the human emperor, and read this poem:
"The rivers and mountains and clear waters stay here, and the heavens, the earth and the people are happy with spring. ”
"You must know that you will celebrate the blessings of the Chinese and the fame of thousands of years. ”
In this scene, Jiang Qianchen wrote this poem to praise the emperor of the people, and everyone present tried their best to please the emperor.
The Emperor was very happy, and rewarded them as usual, even the female official with Fuqin was also rewarded, Jiang Qianchen and Wuwu knelt down to thank him, I don't know if it was an illusion, I vaguely felt that the eyes of the Emperor were cold, and Jiang Qianchen's smile also carried the ambition that a woman should not have.
The last one on the stage was Su Hanyan and Condensation of our Yong'an Palace, Condensation played the pipa, Su Hanyan performed her stunt - dancing while painting, stunning everyone, but the condensation pipa is not inferior at all under the contrast of the Hanyan girl, although I didn't play, I am sincerely happy to see them like this.
After the Emperor of the People rewarded him again, Emperor Pingyu said to him: "Brother, what do you think of this performance in the Four Palaces?"
When I heard this, I was relieved, it seems that Emperor Pingyu is planning to let me go, so that it will be good for everyone, and it will not lose the face of Hesui Palace, but Sister Bairong has a stunned face.
"Okay, very good!" the Emperor nodded with satisfaction, his eyes swept to me and Bai Rong, and I hurriedly lowered my head.
The human emperor didn't let go, pointed at the two of us and asked Emperor Pingyu: "These two princesses didn't perform, right?"
When Sister Bai Rong heard this, her face turned happy. Emperor Pingyu was not so happy, and explained: "These two princesses were in poor health before, so they didn't prepare much. ”
But the human emperor did not give up, looked at Sister Bai Rong, looked at me again, and asked the emperor: "I want to be punished a few days ago, is it one of them?"
Emperor Pingyu was a little weak-hearted, nodded and said, "Yes!"
At this time, I saw that Chunxiao's face was extremely frightened, and I should be worried that the Emperor would hold her accountable.
Bai Rong and I both sat there with our heads bowed, I didn't have the intention of complaining, it was a small matter to make a trouble, if I offended the emperor, it would be difficult to end.
The Emperor said with interest: "Now that I look at it, the princess should be fine, so let's have something to cheer up!"
Sister Bai Rong and I glanced at each other, there was joy in her eyes, my sister was already excellent in dancing, and she was prepared before noon, so it was difficult to think of the limelight.
After the emperor nodded in permission, Bai Rong and I went to change our dance skirts and came back.
When I was a child, the master who taught us how to dance said, "It's good for a woman to be good at dancing, and it's good to like bright colors, but the dresses you choose for dancing should be clear about the occasion, and don't be rude and abrupt." ”
I don't care, if I don't dance, I don't dance, dance is also a foil for my sister, but Bai Rong, after listening to the master's words, I know a lot about dance skirts, just now in addition to worry-free and unexpected, when other women danced, although Bai Rong did not show it on her face, I could see that she was a little disdainful.
Bai Rong picked a plain Luo skirt, but the workmanship was exquisite, only the water sleeves were blue and ink, and I only changed into a dress that was similar to carefree.
When Sister Bai Rong and I returned to the front of the people, most of the women chuckled at the corners of their mouths, but the emperor looked at Bai Rong in her eyes and showed appreciation.
There is also the proprietress of Chunmanlou, looking at Bai Rong and admiring her eyes very much, Qiu An just told me that everyone in the palace calls the proprietress Su Niang.
Chunxiao stood up at this time, knelt in the arena, and said to the Emperor of the People: "Your Majesty, the courtiers have something to say. ”
She called herself a courtier, not a slave, and secretly exalted herself in her words, and her eyes were as soft as spring. I took a closer look at her, her makeup today is extremely beautiful, and she is already stunning in the world, just from her appearance, she is not inferior to the princess and concubine present.
There was a look of anger in Emperor Pingyu's eyes, but he didn't expect this Chunxiao to have such thoughts.
After all, the human emperor was a man in the prime of life, so he couldn't help but be curious to look at Chunxiao a few more times and approve her.
Chunxiao looked at the human emperor, her face was extremely delicate and charming, and she said softly: "Today, many spirit girls have already performed their dance skills, and it will be boring to come again, and the courtiers think that it is better to dance the last song of Princess Bairong, and Princess Suji will do something else, how about it?"
I gasped, this Chunxiao is not only bold, but also thoughtful, anyway, it's a gamble, it's better to bet twice, one bet on whether the appearance of the city can enter the eyes of the emperor, and the second bet on whether the enemy can lose face in front of everyone.
I now regret that I blamed her that day, not because I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to fight her, but because I was her enemy, and I would have a lot of troubles in this palace, and I couldn't live quietly.
Unexpectedly, the Emperor of the People happily agreed, and said with a smile: "This is very good!"
Emperor Pingyu's eyes were full of anger, and he slashed at Chunxiao fiercely, but Chunxiao didn't seem to realize it, and generously retreated to his original position, and there was no one else in his eyes except the Human Emperor.
So I had to step aside, dressed in clothes that should not have been worn by a princess, and I was not far from Wuwu, and her eyes were warm when she looked at me.
Sister Bai Rong is like a little daughter's family in front of the emperor, happy and ashamed, I originally wanted to dance together, set off her pearl light, and also cover up some of her limelight in a timely manner.
There are many dancers today, if they are too outstanding, it is best to enter the eyes of the emperor and the emperor, but if they arouse the jealousy and hatred of everyone, they will have endless troubles.
Now that Bai Rong is dancing solo, I only hope that she can have this idea, and she is not in a hurry to stand out.
Pinghui had already found a female official who was familiar with her to play the qin, and when she was ready, she would accompany Bai Rong.
