Zhen Huan and colleagues Mi Wan Ling Xin

It's fun and eager to try.Concubines and concubines in the palace have always used all kinds of treasures to compete for favor and beauty.Seeing such a move now, and it is a matter of competing for face in front of the emperor, empress and relatives, they are all very competitive.It doesn't matter to Gu Mi, anyway, I'm pregnant and I'm the biggest!She was just waiting for Zhen Huan to be a dancer in front of everyone!

When Cao Jieyu drew the queen, she wrote the word "Shou" on her left and right hands.The queen's superb calligraphy is a must in the harem, not to mention the calligraphy with both hands.As soon as the word "longevity" came out, everyone praised it.Concubine Duan was weak and had already gone back to rest, Feng Shuyi wrote a poem; Tian Guiren and Qin Fangyi played a song "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix"; Liu Liangyuan painted a painting "Guanyin Sending a Child";

Cao Jieyu raised her plain hand, drew a paper sign and said in the palm of her hand: "This is Zhen Wanyi's." She unfolded the paper sign and looked at it, then she laughed first: "Please ask my sister to compose the song "Jing Hong Wu"." He turned his head to Xuan Ling and said with a smile: "My younger sister's appearance is originally 'like a dragon swimming, graceful like a frightened bird', and the concubine just got this one. It can be seen that it is suitable for the younger sister to dance, and the younger sister must not refuse it. ah."

Gu Mi secretly thought, here we come!Today's highlight! "Jinghong Dance" was originally created by Tang Xuanzong's concubine Mei Fei, and it has been lost for a long time.Empress Chunyuan loves rhythmic dance very much. After searching for the original dance several times, she painstakingly revised it and danced the world. Since then, it has become popular among the people in the palace, and there are women performing "Jinghong Dance" wherever there is well water.It's just that this "Jinghong Dance" is extremely difficult to learn, and it has strict requirements on body shape, and it takes seven or eight years of skill to be able to dance without having three to five years of skill.If you dance well, you will be amazed by heaven and man, but if you dance poorly, you will become a meme and make people laugh.

Concubine Xin Gui is a person who has one intestine to the bottom, and a bit of disdain has already appeared on her face: "How old is Zhen Wanyi, how can she write "Jing Hong Wu"? It is difficult for others to do so."

Cao Jieyu laughed and said, "Sister Xin underestimated Sister Wanyi too much. My sister has always been smart. This "Jing Hong Dance" can be danced by all women, so why can't my sister do it? Besides, it would be reasonable if she couldn't dance as well as the old queen. Among them, my sisters can do as they please, and there is no need to be serious." Concubine Xin Gui originally wanted to complain about Zhen Huan, but instead made Cao Jieyu so blocked that she couldn't speak a word, she turned her face in anger and ignored her again.

Concubine Hua, who was originally drinking alone, said: "If you can't dance, then don't dance. Why force it? So the queen once danced the world, and now there is no one who can match it." After finishing speaking, she said nothing. Throw your head back and take a drink.These words are shining brightly.

The queen heard people mentioning the old queen repeatedly, her face changed slightly, and she only looked at Xuan Ling.Seeing Xuanling thinking, he said softly, ""Jinghong Dance" is easy to learn but hard to master. It's better not to do it, but to change to something else."

Both Shen Meizhuang and An Lingrong frowned.Shen Meizhuang grew up with Zhen Huan since she was a child, and thought she knew Zhen Huan very well, thought that Zhen Huan had always been obsessed with poetry and books, and didn't pay attention to singing and dancing. Hearing the Queen's words, he quickly echoed: "Wanyi is not suitable for dancing when she is drunk."

Xuan Ling glanced at Gu Mi calmly, because she also danced Jing Hong Wu, on the night of leaning on the plum garden.Gu Mi also looked back, showing him her desire to watch.After receiving it, Xuan Ling turned her head and stared at Zhen Huan for a moment, then slowly said: "It's been a long time since "The Dance of the Frightening Hong" has been performed in the palace, so I really want to see it. Wanyi, you can dance as you please."

Shen Meizhuang got up suddenly, and smiled at the emperor: "The ordinary sound of silk and bamboo orchestras is too vulgar, why not let my concubine play the piano and An Xuan attendant sing to cheer up Wanyi."

Zhen Huan glanced at Shen Meizhuang gratefully, and then at An Lingrong, but her eyes were a little complicated.

Xuan Ling nodded and said, "Go and fetch Concubine Shu's 'Long Lovesickness'." The inner prisoner was busy.In the past, Concubine Shu was fortunate to be the first emperor, but due to Concubine Shu's status at that time, the two had a bitter relationship for a long time before they got good results.On the day when Concubine Shu Gui entered the palace, the emperor specially gave a piano named "Long Xiangsi" and a flute named "Long Xiangshou" as tokens of love.After the death of the first emperor, Concubine Shu Gui asked her to go out of the palace to practice, and the qin and flute stayed in the palace.

Shen Meizhuang adjusted his voice a few times and nodded vigorously towards Zhen Huan.An Lingrong bowed to the emperor and sat down beside Shen Meizhuang.

Let's play, dance, and Zhen Huan will also dance.Except for the sound of Shenmei Zhuang's piano and An Lingrong's singing, the entire Fuli Palace was silent, as if no one was there.The broad sleeves are flying like clouds, the bead rings on the head are swaying rapidly, the waist is soft like willows, and they gradually bend down on their backs. It was like raining flowers all over the sky.

An Lingrong's singing voice is graceful, and Shen Meizhuang's piano sounds are dazzling.Zhen Huan is not worried about her dancing skills. When she was a child, her aunt who lived in Jiangnan often taught her dance.When I was seven or eight years old, I heard that Empress Chunyuan's "Jinghong Dance" turned all living beings upside down, and the audience couldn't help but sigh.There is a bit of a competitive heart in the little mind, so Zhen Yuandao specially invited a dancer who had accompanied Queen Chunyuan in the palace to teach him, and also studied "Luo Shen Fu" and "Jinghong Dance" with Concubine Mei. "All the historical materials related to this have been achieved through ten years of hard work.But this just gave Gu Mi a chance

044. Zhen Ronghua

Zhen Huan danced more and more anxiously, and her dancing posture was a little stiff. I'm afraid she wanted to dance in a new way, different from Queen Chunyuan.Suddenly, there was a flute sound that was clear and clear, and the melodious and smooth sound was like rippling blue waves, light clouds came out of Xiuxiu, and entered the hall.I saw Prince Xuanqing of Qinghe standing in the court, holding a purple flute and playing it leisurely by his lips, under the sky filled with fine purple rose flowers, his snow-white robes fluttered like the wind.After changing a few notes, the tune has deviated from the usual "Jinghong Dance", such as blue sea tides, falling flowers and jade flowers, two tones higher, and longer and more soothing.

Shen Meizhuang was vigilant, he had already caught up with King Qinghe after changing the tune, and An Lingrong also changed the tune to sing.Zhen Huan's heart was relieved, she was very happy, and she broke away from the rigidity of the dances she had learned on weekdays.

Slowly, the sound of Shenmeizhuang's zither gradually became weaker, and several noises became chaotic, and the follow-up was already weak.Looking back, Shen Meizhuang frowned and covered his mouth as if about to vomit.Gu Mi gave a quick wink, immediately carried "Long Lovesickness" and placed it on Gu Mi's table, holding the piano, Gu Mi started to play the piano as soon as she put it down.Seeing this, King Qinghe paused when he threw the purple flute, and continued to play the flute as if nothing had happened.

Then there was the sound of the flute chasing the sound of the piano, and it was Xuan Ling who was very familiar. Gu Mi turned her head and looked at Xuan Ling with a smile in her eyes.Zhen Huan was really happy when she heard Xuan Ling's flute sound, she hurriedly glanced away, but saw him and Gu Mi looking at each other affectionately, her heart was slightly sour, but in an instant she saw him looking back at her tenderly, his expression was just like that at the beginning of the day Encountering the situation, my heart warmed up, and I didn't want to worry about the Huaishuilv Nanxun Palace any more.

Not many people saw the affectionate look between Gu Mi and Xuan Ling just now, but at this time Zhen Huan flirted openly in full view, which aroused the hostility of many concubines.

The qin and flute sang harmoniously, and the singing voice was melodious. Gradually, it became more and more subdued, as if there was nothing there.The body is like a soft willow being swept down by a huge wind, and the white and light soft gauze skirt spreads out with Zhen Huan's low kneeling, spreading out into a snow-white flower, blooming on the bright red carpet .Xuan Ling got up and took Gu Mi and walked towards Zhen Huan. He stretched out his hand to support Zhen Huan and said to the two of them, "How many surprises do you have that I don't know?"

Gu Mi smiled and said nothing, and gave him a provocative look of "Guess what!", Xuan Ling laughed heartily, and returned a look of "narrow ghost" to her.

And Zhen Huan just lowered her head and smiled sweetly, quite well-behaved: "The little tricks, Bo Huang's smile is all."

Cao Jieyu's complexion changed slightly, and she got up in an instant and said to Xuan Ling with a smile: "What does the emperor think of my concubine? My sister is indeed smart, and can perform dances that ordinary people cannot. It is not inferior to the old queen when she is alive."

Before the words were finished, the queen looked at Cao Jieyu with a half-smile and said, "Why did Cao Jieyu repeatedly mention the old queen's "Frightening Hong Dance" today? I remember that when the old queen performed this dance, even Concubine Hua had not yet entered the palace. , let alone you, Jieyu, how does Jieyu know how the old queen's dance is? How can she compare Zhen Wanyi's dance with it?"

Cao Jieyu heard the queen's bad tone, which was very different from the past, and said with a sneering smile: "It's my concubine's recklessness."The concubine also heard that it was a pity that I could not see the dancing posture of the old queen. "

Zhen Huan looked at her and smiled and said: "My sister has never seen the wonderful style of "Jinghong Dance" written by the late queen. How can the brilliance of firefly candles compare with the light of the old queen's bright moon?"

Xuanling smiled in satisfaction when he heard the words, let go of the two of them's hands and said to King Qinghe: "Sixth brother, you are late, and you will be punished with three glasses of wine!"

Xuanqing raised his glass and laughed: "The younger brother has already played a song to cheer up the singing and dancing of the new sister-in-law. Brother Huang will not hold the younger brother accountable for the sake of the new sister-in-law." He drank it down.

Xuan Ling said: "The flute sound of 'Long Lovesickness' must be matched with the piano sound of 'Long Xiang Shou' to be called unparalleled." Pointing at them respectively, he said: "This is the Ming noble concubine Gu, Wanyi Zhen family, Ronghua Shen family." Turning to see An Lingrong, he asked: "This song is..."

"The emperor should be punished! Didn't Sister Shen just say that? This is the selection of An's servant." Gu Mi continued.

An Lingrong felt a little embarrassed, but still knelt down and said: "I have chosen to serve you, Mrs. An, who has seen the emperor."

Xuan Ling ordered her to get up with an "oh", and casually said: "Reward." He didn't look at An Lingrong again, An Lingrong was absent-minded for a moment, and then gave a salute and retreated silently.

Xuanling returned to his seat and sat down, and said to Xuanqing, "Sixth brother is good at poetry, can you have a good composition for watching dance today?"

Xuan Qing said: "Brother Huang made fun of it, and my younger brother made a fool of himself."

After finishing speaking, he concentrated his attention for a while, held a brush in his hand, splashed the rice paper, and started to swim around.After a while, Li Chang personally took the presentation and handed it to Xuan Ling.
