16. Happiness (1)

Xia Shouzhong responded, the female ancestors who told the joke just now were still there, so they were ordered to beat the drums, the female ancestors were experts in drumming, and the drum beat was beating quickly and slowly, like a dragonfly dotting water, and like a big peng hitting the air, and like plum blossoms falling one after another, the feeling of big beads and small beads falling on the jade plate, the blooming magnolia flower passed in the hands of the women, and after a while, the drum stopped abruptly, everyone saw that the flower fell into the hands of Ying Guifei, Ying Guifei stood up with a red face, "The concubine really doesn't know what talent can be performed, I can only write a few big words and dedicate it to Lafayette. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½ā€

The Queen Mother nodded, "Have fun at home, and don't limit anything, your words are good, I know it." ā€

The eunuch on the side held the bookcase, the pen, ink, paper and inkstone had been prepared, Ying Guifei took off the armor on her hand, held the wolf's hair, concentrated and calmed, a few big characters waved, "Zhilan Baoting", the handwriting is handsome, there is a charming but no feminine atmosphere, "Good words, good words," the Queen Mother said approvingly, "Frame this word, put it here in a few days, hang it." ā€

Everyone praised one after another, Emperor Li's concubine Ying Guifei retreated, and then beat the drum and passed the flowers, this time it was Luo Concubine who won the lottery, everyone applauded, Xilin Jue Luo also knew that this was an opportunity to have a long face, "Just now the Queen Mother and all the ladies listened to the flute, and the concubines are not talented, and they want to play a song." ā€

The Queen Mother nodded with a smile, Luo Concubine picked up a tube of bamboo flute, and carefully blew a song "Plum Blossom Three Alleys", the sound of the flute was quiet and low, completely different from the bright and hearty flute, the Queen Mother was crooked on the kang, and listened to the whole song with a relaxed attitude, "Jiangcheng plum blossoms fall in May, where can the jade teach?" It's really excellent, Luo Concubine, this flute, has worked hard, and it sounds as good as the flute just now. ā€

She commanded, "I remember that there was a purple jade flute, and I gave it to Concubine Luo. ā€

"Lafayette is going to reward others with his body again." Concubine Lihuang said with a smile.

"With what good things he has, there are also good people to use, Luo Concubine blows such a good flute, of course, it must be matched with the best things." The Queen Mother looked at Concubine Enluo with a smile, "Don't thank you, sit down and have some fun." ā€

Concubine Luo stood up proudly, glanced at Concubine Zhen, and the big guy gave the order again, this time it was the turn of Emperor Li's concubine, before she could speak, the queen mother laughed first, "Okay, there is a saying called self-destruction, everyone can see how this word is written today, Imperial Concubine, it seems that it is your turn, it is really a good reincarnation of heaven, look at who has spared this time!" ā€

The rest of the people laughed flatteringly, and the concubine of Emperor Li stood up generously, "Niangniang, you are underestimating me, who doesn't know, the three holes of the cunning rabbit, I dug a pit by myself, how can I jump down by myself?" She instructed the palace maid, "Go find the offering of the Shengping Department and ask for a pipa!" ā€

"I know you left a hand," the queen mother stretched out her hand with purple gold armor, nodded to the imperial concubine, and the palace maid took a handful of Nanqu pipa, "I haven't listened to your pipa for a long time, but I want to hear it." ā€

Lihuang Guifei sat in the atrium, the pear blossoms were all over the sky, the east wind blew slightly through her orange clothes, no one could see that she was already in her fifties, Lihuang Guifei was well-maintained, the pain of losing her daughter in the past, more than ten years have passed, and it has been almost eliminated, just take a closer look, the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes can no longer be hidden, and her red face is old, not to mention the past few decades? The Queen Mother was slightly distracted, and she didn't know what she was trying to write, but suddenly, the pipa sounded, and a high-pitched "Overlord Unloading Armor" bounced out of the hands of the Lihuang Guifei.

This song describes the battle of the Chu and Han dynasties, with Xiang Yu as the protagonist, such a war song, with a very passionate and high-pitched pipa to play, very appropriate, plus the overlord unloading the armor more shows the helplessness of the Chu army after hearing Chu Ge, Xiang Yu's sad song, and Yu Ji's farewell, it is really soft but heroic, like a canopy, the magnolia flower floating on the head of the Lihuang Guifei seems to be infected by the joy of this sad song, shaking in mid-air in response to the beat, "Thorn!" Then Emperor Li's concubine waved, the music ended, the queen mother nodded with a smile, and clapped her hands, "Okay, I haven't listened to it for many years, but I didn't expect that the imperial concubine still retains the style of the year, it's really a song that moves the capital!" ā€

Everyone applauded, and Emperor Li's concubine bowed slightly, "I really don't dare to laugh at the generous family." ā€

"I remember that there is no good pipa in the palace?" The Queen Mother asked Xia Shouzhong, "No?" That's it," the Queen Mother said with a smile, "Then you have no color!" ā€

"Then I don't follow, why did I get here, and I didn't have a color?"

The Queen Mother spread her hands, "That's it, then I'll give you a ruby, do whatever you want to do yourself, don't come to trouble me!" ā€

Emperor Li's concubine sat down with a smile, "The concubine learned from the ancient books, "In the end, Concubine Ying read through the poetry books, and the things in the books are remembered clearly," The wine lees pipa that Yang Guifei in the Tang Dynasty liked to play the most, is different from what we are making now? ā€

"This is for this pipa master." The Queen Mother smiled.

Concubine Lihuang nodded and smiled, "The pipa of the Tang Dynasty was played horizontally, and now we are all changed to be held vertically," she gestured in front of her, "Now they are all played with their fingers, and there used to be a wooden board to pluck." ā€

Others didn't know, but the Empress Dowager Cixi suddenly realized, "Oh, isn't this just the same as the guitar?" He hugged him horizontally and then plucked it with a plectrum to make a sound, "Imperial Concubine, will you do this?" ā€

"But no," Emperor Li's concubine said frankly, "There is no physical object to practice this pipa, and I don't know how this system is. ā€

"Ying Guifei, you know a lot," the Queen Mother said with a smile, Ying Guifei's favorite thing to go to is the Wenyuan Pavilion in the Old Summer Palace to read books, "Do you know where else there is such a pipa in this world?" ā€

"There may be among the people, but there are not many of them," Ying Guifei said, "The Tang Dynasty has been more than a thousand years now, what kind of things can't afford to be burned down by so many years of war, and at most there are only collections such as scrolls of the Tang and Song dynasties. ā€

The Queen Mother looked at Concubine Min, both of them have not been built for a long time, even if the Li Dynasty has been long enough, but it is only more than three hundred years, both of them told that these things are gone, the Queen Mother was a little disappointed, "That's it, I'll help you pay attention to it first, and then let the Shengping Department see if it can be copied, good things, if we all forget, this is not good." ā€
