Jingling Palace, which has been silent for a long time, is a lively scene.

Or to the Hongqiao as the boundary, the emperor took hundreds of officials and envoys from various countries to have a banquet in the temporary lakeside open pavilion, and the queen took the palace ladies and the royal relatives and important ministers and daughters to dine in the lake pavilion of Jiuqu Bridge.

I couldn't sit down in the Huxin Pavilion, so I simply put a seat on the Jiuqu Bridge, and the ladies sat in twos and threes, but they were also comfortable.

The two ends of the Hongqiao are guarded by the forbidden army, and changing sheds are set up on both sides, and the invited artists and juggling teams perform on the Hongqiao, and the emperor and the queen and the men and women can feast their eyes.

Li Qiniang sat at the end of the Jiuqu Bridge with red sleeves and green Yi.

She searched in Lin'an City for several days, but could not find a suitable birthday gift, so she simply performed a sword dance with two maids to congratulate the emperor on his birthday.

After a few days of discussion and rehearsals, the show called "Sword Dance Birthday Celebration" was performed by Li Qiniang with two maidservants in charge of the sword dance, the future princess of the Jianwang family, Qian Shi, the granddaughter of the Empress Dowager Wei, and the rest of the classmates chanted "Guangongsun Auntie's Disciple Dancing Sword Weapon Xing" to help the fun.

Li Qiniang is dressed in neat red clothes today, with a blue shawl on her shoulders, and her waist-length long hair is braided into a fine braid, which is tied into a man's bun on the top of her head, and the hairband is tied with a hairband of the same color as the shawl, and the long hairband floats behind her head, and the whole person is handsome and fairy, and many young girls on the Jiuqu Bridge have cast admiring glances at her.

Red Sleeves shook his hands and said in a low voice: "Miss, I'm so nervous, I'm really afraid that I'll mess up later!" ”

Li Qiniang was also nervous and excited in her heart, she pretended to be calm and said: "There are many people on the Jiuqu Bridge, let's go to Qingfeng Pavilion to see how Qian Niangzi and Wei Niangzi are prepared!" ”

As he was talking, a palace maid came over, bowed down and said, "Mrs. Li, they are all looking for you, please come with the slave maid!" ”

On the other side of the lake, Xiao Rong and Wang Quan took the opportunity to watch the performance, applauding loudly while desperately looking at the opposite side.

The two of them came to Lin'an this time, and the Emperor of Jin arranged a secret mission, all because Emperor Jin heard that Zhao Gou's Liu Guifei was extremely beautiful and known as the first beauty in the world.

This small shadow was treasured by the Golden Emperor in the Zhongdu Palace, and he watched it from time to time, sighing every day, because people who had seen Liu Guifei claimed that this small shadow only painted six or seven points of color of Liu Guifei, and Liu Guifei's own charm and charm were only three points, "much inferior to real people!" ”

Emperor Jin thought about it day and night, almost crazy, and ordered Xiao Rong and the others to see with their own eyes no matter what, whether Liu Guifei was really as beautiful as described.

"Whoever brings back the portrait of the first beauty in the world, I will be rewarded, the official will be promoted to the third level, and the gold will be a thousand taels!"

Xiao Rong knew that Liu Guifei was in the Huxin Pavilion opposite, but the distance was too far, he couldn't see the faces of the people in the pavilion clearly, and he wanted to break through by getting drunk, but the forbidden army was heavily guarded, and the Jiuqu Pavilion was also a zigzag loop, and he couldn't break through at all!

Wang Quan heard Song Chen's discussion during the banquet, and the students of the "Female Virtue" School performed on the Hongqiao today, and Li Qiniang, who met on the "lakeside" that day, was also among them.

He immediately had an idea and said this to Xiao Rong. Xiao Rong walked towards Zhao Gou with a wine glass.

"On behalf of the Emperor of the Great Jin Kingdom, Xiao Rong, the envoy of the Jin Kingdom, congratulated the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty on his birthday! I wish the Great Song Emperor a long and blessed life, and the Song and Jin countries will always be friends! Besides, the foreign minister has a reluctant request—"

Zhao Gou saw that the envoy of the Jin State had a deferential attitude, and his heart was happy, and he said with a smile: "If the envoy Jin has any request, just say it!" ”

Xiao Rong said with a smile: "The foreign ministers bowed to the grand event, and saw the birthday of His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, and I was very grateful in my heart, and I wanted to tell the emperor of the Dajin Kingdom about today's beautiful scenery after returning to China in the future, presumably the emperor must be very happy, and there will be more fun on the palace banquet of the Jin Kingdom in Japan." But the Song people have a saying, 'It's better to see than to hear', I wonder if Your Majesty can have a way to bring today's beautiful scenery back to China? ”

As soon as the words fell, Wang Lun smiled and said, "What's so difficult about this? Just send the painter to copy the picture of today's situation, let the golden envoy take it back, and the golden emperor will know it at a glance! ”

The envoys of the other countries also joked: "The emperor of the Great Song Dynasty must not favor one over the other, and we must also draw a picture scroll and pass on today's grand meeting to future generations!" ”

When Zhao Gou heard that it was such a trivial matter, he immediately summoned the painters of the Imperial Painting Academy into the palace and painted today's grand event.

After the painters unfolded their drawing boards, Xiao Rong walked up to the painter who was responsible for copying the Hongqiao Hundred Operas, and deliberately praised: "It is said that the women of the Great Song Dynasty are versatile, and they are not comparable to the women of the Northland. Please also ask the painter to paint carefully, I will win the trust of my majesty in the future, and I can't say that I can ask for a little reward! ”

Zhao Gou then ordered: "Closer, draw carefully!" ”

The conversation between the emperor and Xiao Rong, Zhao Dianju listened to it in his ears, and his heart was naturally very anxious, but it was a pity that although he was the emperor's grandson, he couldn't interject on such a major diplomatic occasion.

He wanted to find a small chamberlain to inform Li Qiniang and find a way to push off this performance, but at this time, Qingfeng Pavilion was already in full view, and the slightest carelessness was a major diplomatic accident, which was related to the face of the court and the emperor, who would help him take this risk?

In the Xuan Hall, the emperor and the courtiers had their own thoughts, and the "Sword Dance Birthday Celebration" performance of the "Female Durban" on the Hongqiao Bridge finally began!

First of all, there were two piano sounds, and the whole lake was silent, and then a woman chanted gracefully: "In the past, there was a beautiful woman Gongsun, who was dressed in jade and brocade, and did a sword dance for Emperor Xuanzong." Today, we will follow the example of the East and congratulate Your Majesty on his birthday——"

The sound of the piano immediately turned around, and the female voice recited Du Fu's "Guangongsun Auntie's Disciple Dancing Sword Weapon Walk"——

"In the past, there was a beautiful woman Gongsun, who danced with a sword and moved in all directions.

The viewer is depressed like a mountain, and the heavens and the earth are low for a long time......"

Zhao Dian covered his eyes and didn't dare to look, but he heard the people around him whispering: "Why is he?" ”

"The children of the military generals family are different from the rangers of the rivers and lakes, not only are they good-looking, but they can also kill!"

He couldn't help but be curious, secretly let go of his palm, and looked up-

I saw that on the Hongqiao, with the lotus flowers and the blue sky of the middle lake as the background, a person was dressed in bright silver armor, the red tassel on his head was like a cluster of dancing flames, and the sword walked with him, sometimes like a spring breeze blowing willows, sometimes vigorous like a swimming dragon.

Attacking, stabbing, retreating, and turning back, there is really the charm of "coming like thunder to collect anger, and stopping like the river and sea condensing the clear light".

Some ministers who were originally dissatisfied in their hearts applauded loudly without scruples at this time, and instructed the painter: "Draw carefully, and draw all the heroic posture of Lord Xiao Wu!" ”

Li Qiniang wore a veil and mixed in with the "female Durban" students in charge of chanting, her mouth was open and closed, but in fact, her heart was all on the body of the person dancing the sword on the bridge.

At first, Wu Yang proposed to replace her on the bridge to dance the sword, but she was quite unhappy, after all, she came up with this idea, and she didn't think there was anything wrong with showing her head, can't she enjoy being in the spotlight as a woman? Can't show off your talents? can only nest in the back house in the four corners of the sky to die silently?

Who prescribes?

Later, when she heard that the Jin envoy asked to draw their performances and bring them back to the Emperor of the Jin Kingdom to enjoy, she was not happy, the Jin Envoy disgusted her like that, and the Emperor of the Jin Kingdom must not be much better!

Now watching Wu Yang dancing the sword on the Hongqiao, she suddenly feels that the sword dance still has to be danced by a beautiful man like Lord Xiao Wu to look good, but I don't know if Jin Envoy is satisfied or not?
