Chapter Thirty-Eight: The First Dance of the Harem?
On the day of the Wanshou Festival, the dignitaries and nobles who entered the palace to celebrate their birthday entered the palace.
The emperor, the queen and the queen mother appeared together, wearing the most luxurious court clothes, full of golden light, Jiang Xian looked up from below, and the jewels reflected directly in her eyes.
She is late for the position of queen, and the position of queen mother may be able to fight.
After the salute, it is time to take a seat.
The queen mother was in the field, Jiang Xian was favored, and she was not treated specially, so she stayed at the table where she often promised to stay, but after taking a seat, a little eunuch in front of the emperor put a small bowl of cherries and snow fungus bird's nest on her table: "The tributes brought by He Shengshou's convoy, except for the queen mother, the queen, the concubine and Concubine Zhang Xian, the emperor only asked the servants to bring such a bowl, saying that the food at the banquet looks good, and it may not taste good, so let the little lord cushion his stomach," Seeing that she was about to get up, the little eunuch hurriedly said: "The emperor has instructed that there is no need to be specially grateful." ”
"That annoying father-in-law thanked the emperor for me."
Jiang Xian said with a smile.
The cherries were pitted in advance and poked with a silver fork to eat, and they were so sweet.
Jiang Xian is not good at appetite, in order to prevent Chen Promise next to her from falling on the table in the eyes of everyone, she divided half of her, and just let her move more chopsticks and talk less at the banquet, so as to save trouble.
"Sister Xie Shu's reward." Chen agreed and replied flatteringly.
Zhang Changzai, who was sitting at the same table, looked at her coldly, yin and yang: "Chen promised, you are also the little master of the palace, she is just a permanent presence, why should you be subservient." ”
Jiang Xian's eyelids twitched.
Without waiting for her to go back, Chen Yu looked at Zhang Changzai with a vigilant face: "If Sister Changzai wants to please Sister Shu, let's choose someone else!" Sister Shu already has a concubine. ”
“……”
What a brain circuit this!
Is she trying to please Shu Chang? She was mocking Chen for promising not to please a little Changzai! What's so good about being a dog leg that Shu is always there? These days, I haven't seen Shu Chang sharing her favor!
It can be seen that Shu Changzai is not a generous person.
Zhang Chang, who was inexplicably deducted, was annoyed and was about to refute, but when he heard Jiang Xian turn his head, he actually raised a smile in a very good mood: "Sister Chen is right, Zhang Changzai still don't worry about me." ”
was originally speechless, but at this time Zhang Changzai was chest tight.
But at the banquet, she didn't want to make it difficult, so she had to keep her face tight, and she didn't want to deal with the people who leaned on Zhuxuan.
Zhang Changzai lives in the same palace with Guo Guiren, and he doesn't like Jiang Xian with the same enemy.
It's just that it was quiet for a while, and when it came to the part of the eunuch's roll call to the prince, Zhang Changzai said again: "I'm really looking forward to waiting for Guo Guiren's "Neon Clothes and Feather Dance"!" The noble sister has been learning dance for many years, and she has a deep foundation, so she usually doesn't show herself easily in front of others, and today's concubines are also blessed with eyes," she glanced at Jiang Xian: "I heard that Shu is often waiting to prepare for a performance, why don't you agree with Chen to perform for the emperor in advance?" ”
If you don't hide it obediently, forget it, you have to make a fool of yourself in front of the guests of the clan.
Chen promised to catch a spark between the two.
She whispered to the palace maid standing behind her, "Hexiang, do you think I want to help?" ”
"Has the little master forgotten Shu's constant advice? Talk less and move chopsticks more, don't make a mess for Shuchang. Hexiang hurriedly said.
Chen regretted agreeing.
She also felt that she was sharp-tongued and well versed in human nature, but she could go into battle on behalf of the Jiang family to kill the enemy.
"Seeing that you are not blessed enough, I will give you more eyes." Jiang Xian replied softly.
If you don't listen carefully to the content, you think that she and Zhang Chang are talking very happily.
Zhang Changzai had a cold face: "Don't be hungry for your eyes, but make people laugh." ”
As soon as she finished speaking, the performance on stage was about to be the turn of Guo Guiren, who had changed into dance clothes.
With the sound of silk and bamboo, a shadow appeared on the stage.
On the first day, after hearing the eunuch singing "The Dance of Neon Clothes and Feathers", the Queen Mother showed an interested look: "This dance has been lost for a long time, and what circulates in the dance workshop is also a dance that has been drawn up by the imagination of later generations, but this Guo Guiren dances well, and it seems that he has also worked hard and worked hard." ”
The emperor was not interested in Guo Guiren.
The queen mother's praise is just for the sake of her family background: "Erchen can't look at Er'er, and it can't compare to the amazing dance I saw during the autumn hunt." ”
It was a performance by the workshop.
The dancing girls in the workshop are not good at dancing and have to take their heads to see them, Guo Guiren can't compare to professionals, and the Queen Mother said: "Just in terms of dance skills, I can afford to be the first person in the harem." ”
After the dance, Guo Guiren bowed down and said auspicious words of congratulations.
Her heart was stirring, but she was not thinking about the man at the top.
It's about waiting for Jiang to make a fool of himself in public.
As soon as she thought of this, she couldn't wait to get off the stage and immediately change back into her dress, and go to the audience to enjoy Jiang's jokes.
