Chapter Twenty-Three: The Dancing Girl


The guests entered the hall one after another and sat down according to their respective seats.

Menghan could only stand pitifully behind Yu An, swallowing hard at the table full of delicious food.

Not bad, it was worth it to see such a grand scene once entering the palace.

Menghan glanced at the surrounding decorations and people coming in from time to time, secretly excited.

Following Ming'an's words, "The Emperor has arrived," everyone stood up and saluted, "See the Emperor."

The emperor's face was full of spring breeze and his face was radiant.

After sitting down, he stretched out his hand and said, "Sit down, everyone."

Everyone thanked them and returned to their seats to sit down.

"Today is a banquet for the emperor's eldest grandson.

Although there are many relatives and ministers here, we will not talk about state affairs today, so everyone should relax."

The emperor said in an easy-going way.

Sitting on one side of the emperor were the concubines of the inner palace, and on the other side were his relatives and relatives.

Concubine Yi was sitting at the front seat with her eyes full of tenderness.

She looked very graceful.

She touched her gorgeously decorated temples and said coquettishly, "The emperor said that he was holding a banquet for the emperor's eldest grandson.

Why didn't he bring the emperor's eldest grandson over to show you?"

Everyone agreed, and the emperor was in a good mood and readily agreed, "What my beloved concubine said is exactly what I said.

Come, please go and invite the emperor's eldest grandson."

Ming'an took the order and went.

Yao Ying had already known about tonight's banquet and had already packed it up in advance.

When Ming An arrived, she came out without any trouble.

"I have heard that Princess Mingli is really virtuous and suitable when I see her today."

Ming'an praised.

Usually, when you go to invite the queen of the harem, you don't have to wait for a long time.

Yao Ying whispered softly and said gently, "How dare you keep the royal family waiting for so long?

Let's go quickly."

Ming'an hesitated, "Your Majesty, he" "The prince has never liked liveliness, and the emperor also knows that."

Ming'an didn't force it, "Yes, the emperor's eldest grandson will be exposed to the wind, so I have prepared a sedan chair outside."

Yao Ying nodded in thanks, "Mr.

Ming'an, thank you for your trouble."

The sedan landed in front of the palace, and Yao Luo, who was guarding outside the palace, came up to greet her, "Greetings to the eldest sister."

Yao Ying raised the sedan curtain and smiled brightly: "Aluo, you are here."

"There are many people entering the palace tonight, so I naturally have to pay more attention."

Yao Ying nodded, Ming'an helped Yao Ying get out of the sedan, and Yao Luo asked, "Is this the emperor's eldest grandson?"

"That's right, the emperor is waiting.

I'll go in first, and you should be careful."

Yao Ying and Yan instructed.

"Yes, elder sister, don't worry."

Ming'an Yao Ying entered the palace, and Yao Ying walked to the middle of the palace and saluted solemnly, "My son, Princess Hong'an Yao Ying, and the emperor's eldest grandson Qi'er come to see my emperor, long live the emperor."

The Emperor Long Yan was delighted, "Quickly excuse yourself and come closer so that I can have a good look."

"Thank you, Father."

Yao Ying stood up and walked forward, while Ming An waited on her carefully.

"Qi'er, Qi'er."

The emperor touched his little face and teased him a few times.

Qi'er grinned, and the emperor also laughed, "Look, look at him, he's smiling. " Ming An happily echoed, "Yes, the emperor's eldest grandson is kissing the emperor, and he smiles when he sees the emperor."

The concubines and wives stood up one after another, walked to the palace, and praised each other.

Some say that the emperor's eldest grandson has a majestic appearance and is a dragon among men at first sight; some say that the emperor's eldest grandson looks like the emperor so much that he will do something great in the future; some say that the emperor's eldest grandson is not afraid of strangers and is bold and courageous; some say that the emperor's eldest grandson is bold and courageous; If you love to laugh, you will definitely be kind and kind to your people in the future.

"Everyone is so happy, let me see it too."

Concubine Yi twisted her limp body and approached, Yao Ying turned to Concubine Yi, Concubine Yi had a charming smile on her face and couldn't tell the truth from the false, pretending to be surprised, " Oh, the emperor’s eldest grandson is really handsome, he is just like the second prince.”

"Yes, the emperor's eldest grandson's mouth and nose do look like the second prince's."

The wealthy woman agreed.

Concubine Qi touched the beaded hairpin on her head, covered her face and sighed, "Speaking of the second prince, he was separated from his biological parents as soon as the eldest grandson was born.

It's really pitiful."

Concubine Yi reminded her in a long and soft voice, "How can my sister say such a thing?

The emperor's eldest grandson deserves the emperor's personal care and love, which is not as good as his biological parents."

The words were neither loud nor soft, and they just reached the emperor's ears.

The emperor suppressed his smile, and the palace fell silent for a moment.

The emperor said angrily, "Do you think it is more appropriate for Min Che to lead Qi'er?"

Yao Ying was afraid of surprising Qi'er, so she took a few steps back and hid behind the crowd to coax Qi'er in her arms.

Concubine Qi knelt on the ground in fear, "I don't dare."

The emperor persisted and asked angrily, "Manluo Palace is quiet and elegant, Minxuan has both political integrity and talent, and Yao Ying Duanhui knows etiquette.

Do you think she is no better than the second prince who is greedy for pleasure and behaves perversely?"

Concubine Qi put her hands on the ground and walked to the emperor on her knees, "I, my wife, only care about the relationship of flesh and blood, and I am not as thoughtful as the emperor.

I made a mistake, please forgive me."

The emperor's anger did not subside, and he sternly questioned, "How much benefits have you received from outsiders?

You clearly know that I don't like Minche, but you still bring it up now."

Concubine Qi shook her head repeatedly, "I have no concubine.

Please take a closer look, Your Majesty."

"Where would the treasures and pearls on your head come from?"

The treasures and pearls are produced in the extremely cold land of northern Xinjiang.

There is a dark blue in the snow-white, crystal clear, as bright and elegant as the moonlight, gentle and hazy, every year The tribute can only be three.

He fell in love with Yilin from the first time he saw her.

From then on, the emperor without exception rewarded Yilin with all the treasures and pearls he contributed to the Northern Dynasty every year.

Qi Concubine hurriedly explained, "Please be careful, Your Majesty.

My natal brother Qi Kan was ordered to go to the North Kingdom some years ago.

The North Kingdom and Dazhao have been friendly for decades.

The Lord of the Kingdom was in a good mood and sent his brother Bao He as a gift before leaving."

Pearl.

My brother thought about my concubine, so he sent someone to make a pearl hairpin and send it to the palace.

This is my brother's love for my concubine, and he is not accepting benefits from others.

The emperor understands that."

"Sent by Qi Kan," the emperor was doubtful.

Qi Bin nodded like a chicken pecking rice, "Exactly."

"Does the Ministry of Internal Affairs have archives?"

the emperor asked Ming'an.

Ming'an stepped forward respectfully and replied, "The treasure and the pearl are so precious.

If they are handed over to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, I will definitely pay attention to them."

"The implication is that there is no more," the emperor said coldly.

"My slave has never heard of it."

Concubine Qi suddenly lost her mind, and harboring a treasure of unknown origin was even more sinful.

"I feel that if the treasure and the pearl pass through the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the whole palace will know about it.

I don't want to be so ostentatious, so I asked my brother to bring them in quietly."

Palace."

"Okay, even if what you said is true, as a concubine, you despised the palace rules, gave and received secretly, and disturbed the palace system.

What crime should you be guilty of?"

The emperor scolded, which made Qi Concubine tremble and kowtow repeatedly, "Concubine Convicted."

"I'll go back and spend three months in isolation.

I won't be able to leave Cuiyue Palace without an edict."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, I will retire."

Concubine Qi went out nervously.

After all, the crime of giving or receiving in private was much lighter than taking bribes and harboring.

The emperor returned to his seat, still angry.

The concubines who had been joking and amusing just now were standing in the palace, and no one dared to say anything because they were in danger.

Qi'er's cry interrupted the awkward atmosphere, and everyone turned to look at Yao Ying behind them.

Yao Ying stepped forward with a slight smile, "Hey, Qi'er is not happy.

Grandpa Huang said that tonight is a banquet for Qi'er.

Why are they all standing with cold faces?

Do they not like Qi'er?"

Ming'an also echoed, "The emperor's eldest grandson is sympathetic to the emperor.

He knows that the emperor is unhappy, so he comes to comfort the emperor."

Everyone forced themselves to laugh, "Yes, the emperor's eldest grandson is sensible."

"The emperor's eldest grandson and the emperor are really connected."

The emperor waved his hand and said, "That's it, everyone go back and sit down.

Don't let these irrelevant people disturb your interest.

Qi'er is young and it's not appropriate to stay outside for a long time.

Send Qi'er back."

Yao Ying bowed and left, and the emperor told her, "Ming'an, please be careful."

"My slave obeys the order."

Ming An also followed out of the Qing Xi Palace.

Everyone went back and took their seats.

Although Concubine Qi was wearing the most luxurious jewelry, she failed to win the emperor's appreciation, but she caused a lot of trouble.

Concubine Yi was in a good mood, and it seemed that her strength was to set off a scene with one sentence.

Singing, dancing, silk and bamboo songs entered the hall, and everyone felt happy and festive, and everyone felt a lot more relaxed.

Taking advantage of the commotion, Meng Han finally dared to speak, bowing her body and whispering to Yu An: "The palace is as complicated as I imagined, and being with you is like being with a tiger."

Yu An took the tea and turned half of his face, "You still have the ability to imagine the life in the palace?"

"The tricks in the palace fighting dramas I've watched are much more powerful than this one.

There are so many poisonings, frame-ups, and blood recognition."

Meng Han said proudly.

"Don't talk nonsense, just stay calm."

Yuan didn't have time to question the new words that came out of Menghan's mouth.

"I'm not talking nonsense.

I'll tell you later how exciting our palace drama is."

The dancers in colorful clothes danced to let a hundred flowers blossom, and the sound of silk and bamboo was joyful, and the hall was instantly filled with festive colors.

After the dance, whether it was to alleviate the previous uneasiness or because he really liked the dance, the emperor clapped first, "This dance is gorgeous and unique, not petty, and the music is brisk.

It is perfect for today's festive day.

Thank you, reward" The guests applauded in unison, and Meng Han murmured in a low voice, "What's so good?

I just wave my sleeves and spin in a circle, forming a pattern and spinning around.

Isn't it so beautiful?

If you look at our Thousand-Hand Guanyin, what's the point?

With Yang Liping’s Peacock Dance, I’m sure these things will never catch your eye again.”

Yu An turned around and coughed lightly, and Meng Han obediently shut up.

The master of the Ritual Music Hall stepped forward and replied, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward.

The dance just now was just to create a festive atmosphere.

The next dance of dragons and phoenixes is truly unique."

"Oh" the emperor seemed very interested, "please come up quickly."

"According to the order."

The master bowed and retired.

A breeze blew from outside the palace, and golden dragons and colorful phoenixes floated into the palace.

The dragons and phoenixes slowly rose up.

Another gust of wind blew, and the dragon and phoenix swayed up and down and left and right with the wind.

The dragon's body covered with gold powder shone brightly and looked lifelike.

At this time, a woman wearing a vermilion dance dress jumped in from outside the hall.

She walked into the hall.

She waved the red silk in her hands and rotated her body.

The red silk in her left and right hands wrapped around the body of the dragon and phoenix respectively, and directed towards the dragon and phoenix.

With a strong pull, the dragon and phoenix came down and fell to the ground.

The dancer jumps and spins, letting go of the red silk.

The dragon and phoenix overlap and dance upward, like a pair of lovers who are inseparable.

The dancer's red silk touches the dragon and phoenix from time to time, and the dragon and phoenix also change various different movements, sometimes briskly, sometimes smoothly, sometimes chasing each other, sometimes lingering and snuggling, sometimes separated from each other and looking at each other from a distance, sometimes you and I are crowded together as if they are quarreling.

The eyes of the people in the hall followed, and they were all amazed.

Even Meng Han couldn't help but praise that it did require some technical skills.

The dancer pulled the dragon and phoenix back down, and the dragon's head and phoenix tail formed a circle, jumping and running quickly against the dragon and phoenix inside, and the dragon and phoenix also rose and fell.

The dancer circled inside and outside several times, then entwined the dragon and phoenix with red silk, and stood in the center looking at the emperor with a smile.

"Okay," the emperor shouted and clapped vigorously, "What a flying dragon and phoenix, worthy of this name."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your compliments."

The dancer let go of the red silk in her hands, thanked her, and the dragon and phoenix slowly rose to the roof.

"It's interesting to see dragons flying and phoenixes dancing."

Concubine Yi said with a smile, emphasizing the word "phoenix".

Since the queen died of illness, there has been no queen in the palace for more than ten years.

Feng Wu: Was that the phoenix that danced just now?

The dancer noticed the sting in Concubine Yi's words and hurriedly knelt down, "I have no intention of offending the Queen.

I just think that the dragon and phoenix are auspicious, and it is auspicious." sjgsf0916:
