Chapter 42 Luan Dance Allures the City
This situation made everyone present cover their mouths and snicker, "It's really shameless and openly teasing the prince." ”
"yes, it's shameless." "Sister, you see King Rui's face is dark." The ridicule was incessant.
Ling Ruohui held the tea cup in his hand, looked at everything in the field with cold eyes, and sometimes looked in the direction where King Qi was, the two looked at each other and smiled, nodded to each other, and drank each other in the air, which aroused the anger and vinegar in King Rui's heart.
Xiao Caiyi heard the criticism of other official ladies but didn't think so, and even looked at King Rui flatteringly: "Don't you like the music of the courtiers?" The courtiers really admired the prince's demeanor. ”
Hearing only a snap, King Rui finally couldn't bear it anymore, and threw the wine jug in his hand on the ground heavily, splashing fine pieces of porcelain, as if it was short-lived and very beautiful, "Just because you dare to think about this king, a woman like you is not worthy of lifting shoes for this king, roll for this king." King Rui gritted his teeth.
Xiao Caiyi looked at King Rui's face with murderous intent, and couldn't help but hit a spirit.
"Brother Rui, why should you be so fierce, Miss Caiyi is also like this because she admires you, you should be happy." King Qi jokingly said with a wine glass.
"If you like it, it's good for you." King Rui glared angrily at King Qi. His eyes were full of bloodthirsty killing intent.
"No need, she's not a good match for this king. This king already has a favorite person, and Brother Rui doesn't have to worry about it. "King Qi still has that taste of banter.
"Okay, don't argue, today is the queen's birthday, and the mourning family hopes that all the housekeepers and daughters can come to a talent show and be lively." The queen mother interrupted the dispute between the two, and originally wanted to take this opportunity to give the emperor a few more concubines, but because Xiao Caiyi was stirred, the queen mother glanced at Xiao Caiyi unhappily, turned her head to look at the female dependents below and said with a smile: "Which female family member will perform first, every female family member who performs, the mourning family has a reward." ”
His Royal Highness began to stir, Xiahou Jingyao knew that the Queen Mother was taking advantage of her birthday as an excuse to take a concubine for her son, but she couldn't say anything, and if she said it, she was guilty of jealousy, and when the time came, don't say that her queen's position is not guaranteed, I am afraid that even her Zhenguo Mansion will be implicated, and I blame myself for not being angry, but there is no son and a half daughter after entering the palace for three years, and Emperor Yuchen has been on the throne for three years, but there are only two daughters, I am afraid that the Queen Mother is also anxious.
"The Empress Dowager, the courtiers are willing to stroke the piano to celebrate the queen's birthday." It was Fu Mengxue, the daughter of Fu Jun, who was the left minister, who saw her wearing a cyan blouse, embroidered with small water-colored flowers, densely covered with skirt edges, and the inner and outer layers of water yarn bloomed with the breeze, looking a little misty and elegant in the mist. The outer cover is a water-colored slim gown, the neckline and cuffs are edged with light cyan silk threads, and a pair of cyan silk shoes are stepped on, embroidered with light pink lotus, which is slightly elegant. His eyes were like a puddle of autumn water, twinkling like stars in the sky, but when his eyelids fell, they were so dim and bottomless.
"Oh? It turned out to be the daughter of the left minister, and I don't know what song Miss Fu is going to perform. The Queen Mother asked with a smile.
"Then the courtier, let's play a song about the mountains and rivers." After speaking, he slowly walked to the side of the piano case, plucked the strings with both hands, the rhythm flowed between his fingers, and the sound of the piano was like Kunshan jade broken, hibiscus weeping, indescribably beautiful. The queen mother in the palace nodded frequently from time to time, and Qu Bi was even more happy, and she really didn't care about the dignity of the queen at all.
"Okay, the song is good, the people are good, the mourning family really likes it. Can you be married? The Queen Mother looked at Fu Xiangdao with a smile.
"Back to the Queen Mother, I haven't yet, the old minister also asked the Queen Mother to find a good family." Fu Xiang had a face of selling women for glory, and Ling Ruohui just wanted to scold people.
"Of course, such a good girl, she must be matched with a good family, I don't know what my Yun family can call Miss Fu's mind?" After finishing speaking, Fu Mengxue looked at Emperor Yuchen who was sitting with a shy smile, and instantly there was a touch of red on her face, which made her coquettish face even more charming.
"Thank you Queen Mother, the old minister can't ask for it." Fu Xiang has been cultivating hard for many years, thinking that his father and daughter are expensive, and one day he will climb to the emperor, he will be the ruler of the country, and he will do whatever he wants first, but he will get his wish today.
"Okay, what do you think of the emperor?" The queen mother left the problem to the emperor, which also shows the shrewdness of the queen mother, even if Fu Mengxue enters the palace as a concubine, it is also the emperor's meaning, no matter how reluctant the queen is, she can't blame the queen mother's head, I have to say that she is an old fox.
Fu Mengxue stepped forward to listen to the seal. Emperor Yuchen thought for a moment and slowly spoke.
"The courtiers are here." Fu Mengxue knelt down and listened to Emperor Houyuchen's reward.
"I will crown you as Mrs. Youxue, give you a residence in the Youmeng Palace, and enter the palace in three days."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Fu Mengxue kowtowed to thank her, maybe her wish had come true, and the corners of her mouth hooked up with a smug smile.
The ladies finally understood the true purpose of today's banquet, the daughters of officials at all levels have performed in front of the palace, but they can no longer be appreciated by Emperor Yuchen, the banquet seems to have reached a stage of eating and drinking, Emperor Yuchen has gradually lost interest in the performance, his eyes have been looking at the woman sitting next to Ling Xiang leisurely drinking wine and chatting, and from time to time clinking glasses with the man diagonally opposite, the psychology is indescribably sour.
When all the ladies had performed, it seemed that some people felt that they were still unsatisfied, and looking around the audience, a woman in a long silk robe with silver thread and soft silk dyed with smoke from the lake slowly got up and said to Ling Ruoxi: "It seems that Miss Ling has not performed yet." ”
Ling Ruohui glanced at the woman and said lightly, "Today is the birthday of the queen's mother, Ruoxuan is not as talented as your sisters, wouldn't it be smiling and generous to come out to perform?" ”
"My sister is wrong, it's because today is the queen's birthday that we want to show our talents to congratulate the queen on her birthday, and now everyone has performed, but you don't perform, so you don't respect the queen." This woman is simply declaring war, but will Ling Ruoyi provoke Ying Zhan? This is something that everyone here is paying attention to.
"Ruo Yi thinks that he is a shallow learner, and he doesn't dare to compare with his sisters." Ling Ruoyi is still light and light, don't accept the invitation to see what you can do to me. Ling Ruoyi looked at the woman with a look that she didn't care about herself, and the angry woman stomped her feet.
King Qi has been watching everything happen with a cold eye, he knows that the woman he likes hates to show off the most, and she doesn't want to enter the palace to be the imperial concubine at all, if such a woman is trapped in the palace, it will definitely be very painful.
Who knew that at this time, Shuyi Guifei Li Feixu stood up, looked at Ling Ruoyi and said in a flattering voice: "Seeing that Miss Ling's shelf is very big, ordinary family members can't invite you to celebrate the queen's sister, so will the thin noodles of the palace also be given?" Or maybe Miss Ling doesn't even pay attention to the queen's sister. After that, Feng raised his eyebrows, and he looked like he was watching a good show, which was really annoying.
"The concubine Niangniang is too elevated to the courtiers, and the courtiers really don't have any talent to show, as the lady said, today is the birthday of the queen's mother, how can Ruo Yi take the lead."
"You ......" Concubine Li glared at Ling Ruoyi angrily, looking eager to swallow it in one bite.
Unexpectedly, Concubine Li's provocation attracted the attention of the Queen Mother, and she looked at Ling Ruoyi from a distance for a long time, such an indisputable woman made her return to the past, when she was still the queen, once the Queen Mother and herself fell ill one after another, it was the woman's mother who stayed by their side for several days and nights to treat them non-stop, so that she had the glory she has today. It's a pity that the woman died early and couldn't enjoy the blessings, so wouldn't it be better if she loved her daughter more, turned his head to look at the emperor, it seemed that his son was also very fond of this woman, but it seemed that Luohua was ruthless.
However, it seems that his youngest son King Qi and her are in love, and both of them seem to be in love, should they fulfill the eldest son or the younger son? The Queen Mother was also in distress, she didn't want her two sons to turn against each other for a woman.
The Queen Mother looked at Concubine Li as if she was provocative, and hurriedly stopped her: "Concubine Li, as a palace concubine, how can you, as a palace concubine, accuse the officials and their relatives at will and retreat from the mourning family. Concubine Li was still unconvinced in front of the Queen Mother, looked at Emperor Yuchen, and was slapped by Emperor Yuchen when she couldn't ask for help. I had no choice but to sit down indignantly.
What a shrewd person the Queen Mother is, she has long heard that Ling Xiang's daughter is amazing, she already knew about the divorce and King Qi and poetry in the Golden Palace, she also wanted to see how this woman's other talents were, and said with a smile: "Ruoyi, today is your cousin's birthday, everyone else has performed, why don't you perform?" The mourning family also wants to see the rest of your talents, so you can perform a show for the mourning family and the emperor and queen, so that the women of the harem and the ladies of officials at all levels can see it. ”
Ling Ruoyi saw that the Queen Mother had spoken, and she knew that she couldn't escape, so she had no choice but to agree, but she Ling Ruohui didn't compare, if she wanted to compete, she would definitely overwhelm the crowd, so as not to be provoked by anyone. Thinking of this, Ling Ruoxuan slowly got up, came to the front of the hall and said softly: "The courtiers must obey the decree of the Queen Mother. Please ask the queen mother, the queen mother and all the ladies to wait for the courtiers to change their clothes. ”
Suddenly, Ling Ruohui has a clear face and white shirt, green silk and ink dyeing, long sleeves are elegant, like a fairy, like a fairy descending to earth. The focus of the audience is on her body, ten women holding the pipa to pose, at this time King Qi took out the jade flute on his waist, the sound of the flute rose softly, the women danced with long sleeves, countless delicate petals gently flew between the heaven and the earth, and the refreshing fragrance of flowers was intoxicating. The buds of those women bloomed and spread out to the surroundings, and in the rain of flowers, Ling Ruoyi appeared like an orchid in the empty valley, with her light and graceful, fluttering like a fairy dance, and the wide wide sleeves opened and closed to cover it, which set off her beautiful posture. Everyone watched her graceful dancing in fascination, almost forgetting to breathe. In the anticipation of the beautiful eyes, everyone present was heartbeating, and they all thought that she was looking at herself.
After the dance, there was a round of applause from the audience, which overshadowed the talented women. Emperor Yuchen's dragon heart was happy, "What a Ling Ruohui, not only will it be amazing, but the dance music is even more breathtaking, and someone will give Ling Ruohui a gold medal to avoid death." ”
There was an uproar in the audience, the gold medal for avoiding death is only available to the generals who have contributed to the country's hard work, how can the emperor reward a woman who has no merit to the country.
The eunuch Wanquan came to Ling Ruohui with the gold medal in his hand, "Miss Ling, hurry up and thank you." ”
Ling Ruoxuan picked up the gold medal, with the words "Avoid death" written on the front, and behind it was a dragon soaring from Pan Yun, "Courtiers, thank you for the emperor's reward." ”
"Get up, you have to take this gold medal, not only do you have the right to avoid death, seeing the gold medal is like seeing me, with this gold medal you can enter and leave the palace at any time, I hope you can often come to the palace to accompany the queen."
"The courtiers obey." Ling Ruoyi knew that she would be hated for saying anything now, anyway, her legs were on her, and it was up to her whether she wanted to enter the palace or not.
After the palace banquet, Ling Ruohui danced all over the world. The kings and nobles who came here were even more endless.
When I returned to the house, it was already night, the moonlight was hazy, the moon shadow was hazy, and I saw a cold dart coming straight towards his face......
