Chapter Seventy-Six: The Dance of Holding Prosperity
Chaoyan frowned and took a sip, only to realize that the glass in her glass was not wine, but her favorite pomegranate juice squeezed from pomegranates. Smelling the aroma of the wine around her, she glanced at Qin Zheng gratefully, but he was
The eyes of Ye Chiying on the opposite side came into contact.
I saw that Ye Chiying was wearing an aqua fairy dress today and had a fairy bun. She didn’t wear too many jewelry. She only tied a beaded and jade phoenix on her bun; instead, she looked elegant and cute.
She first gave Chao Yan a friendly smile, then put down the wine glass in her hand, and said to Qin Zheng and the Queen who were sitting on the high dragon chair: "Your Majesty, the Queen has a rare holiday today, and Chiying is willing to perform a dance to help Your Majesty and the Queen."
How about a drink?"
"oh?"
Qin Zheng glanced sideways at her, nodded with a smile and said: "Then Concubine Lao Ying is here. I heard that everyone in your Xihuang is good at dancing. Everyone can sing and I think Concubine Ying's dancing must be extraordinary."
"Your Majesty, thank you very much. As long as your Majesty doesn't dislike it, it's fine for me to show my disgrace."
Ye Chiying smiled lovingly, stood up gracefully, walked down from the banquet, and came to the center. The palace musicians who were in charge of accompaniment in the corner saw them from a distance, and played the flute to accompany her.
The melodious sound of the flute started with a beautiful beginning, and then the piano and Xiao joined together, gradually speeding up the rhythm, and the tune became more and more lively.
I saw Ye Chiying dancing with her feet a little bit, her shoulders twisted and her waist twisted.
The long sleeves flow like flowing water between her smooth and slender wrists. The jade pendant on her body reflects the gleaming light under the candlelight. The black hair is flying behind her head. Ye Chiying's beautiful eyes are smiling and looking as if they can speak.
Gradually, the music became more and more wild, and the drum beat sounded. It seemed as if someone heard some order outside the palace door. Two rows of palace maids in green dresses walked in to the rhythm, and walked in for Ye Chiying.
Backing dancer
Each of them wore elegant feathers, wide sleeves and long belts; each held a small red drum as big as the mouth of a bowl. While dancing, they walked to the center of the hall and stacked the small drums one by one to form a small drum mountain.
The Xiaogu Mountain is very delicately arranged. One on top of the other, the last one looks like a high mountain peak. It is as high as one meter. It looks exquisite and interesting.
After setting up the drums, the women formed a big circle around Gushan and Ye Chiying, dancing gracefully.
Then, accompanied by the continuous sound of Jie Gu, Ye Chiying smiled gracefully and jumped onto the newly arranged drum mountain like a flying swallow. Everyone was suddenly surprised.
You know, that kind of light wooden drum is not strong. Let alone someone who jumps on it, even if it is touched casually, it may collapse. If she jumped like this, wouldn't the drum mountain be collapsed?
But soon everyone was shocked to find that their worries were in vain:
I saw Ye Chiying resting steadily like a swallow on the tip of the small drum mountain that could only accommodate two pointed toes, but the drum mountain did not move at all.
The notes of the Qiang flute sounded, and the palace ladies danced around the Drum Mountain together, like green lotuses in full bloom.
Ye Chiying's dance steps sped up. Sometimes she would point her toes on the palm-sized drum head at the top, and sometimes she would jump up and twist in the air, like a shooting star or a butterfly, flying, dancing, and smiling.
; The long flowing fairy skirt bloomed into a huge aqua hibiscus under her rotation, like a fairy falling from the sky; Qin Zheng couldn't take his eyes away from it, and all the concubines around him also stared blankly.
The concubines looked jealously at this woman who danced so superbly, gnashing their teeth in their hearts, wishing she would fall down, and wishing the Drum Mountain would collapse quickly; but the Drum Mountain was as firm as Mount Tai.
Ye Chiying danced faster and faster, and the ups and downs of her toes were consistent with the accompaniment of the drums. Only then did people realize that she was tapping the drum head rhythmically with her toes to accompany her dance.
