Murong Qingfeng was not able to accompany me for a long walk. The little eunuch who had just called the prince away hurried over again, saying that the prince had memorized all the homework for the emperor's inspection. The emperor Longyan was very happy. I heard that the companion Murong Qingfeng was also there.
In the palace, someone was sent to summon him.
A high stage was built in the center of the imperial garden. The palace maids and eunuchs were busy arranging the scenery around them. Several actors who had not yet made up were standing on it, singing their voices. The sound of Yiyi was very harsh and a little funny. I
After standing for a while not far from the stands, I felt very bored and returned to Kunning Palace.
It was relatively early to have lunch in the palace. After eating, I sat with Aunt Rong and the Queen for a while. They had not seen each other for a long time. They had a lot to say, but they were just talking about the affairs of the palace. I would like to remember them by the way.
In the lost boudoir life, my parents who have passed away will inevitably be mentioned. However, they are no longer there after I traveled through time. I have never even seen them once, so I have no feeling at all, and I cannot act that sad.
He seemed to have no choice but to hide on the soft couch in the inner hall and pretend to sleep, but he actually fell asleep later.
When she woke up, it was already dark. The queen had changed into a bright red silk palace dress, her hair was tied up into a bun, and a gold phoenix rocker with pearls was inserted sideways, and thin gold flowers were posted around it. She had a kind of natural nobility, I sincerely said
praised: "The queen's dress is so beautiful!"
The queen tapped my forehead with her slender fingers, raised her eyes to look at Aunt Rong, and said with a smile: "This ghost elf's little mouth looks like it has been smeared with honey."
"You were born with a natural beauty, and she was right." Aunt Rong gave the Queen an angry look, walked up to me, pulled out the hairpin, untied the bun, and used a wooden comb to mess up my sleep.
I combed my hair again, looked out the window, took my hand, and said goodbye to the queen: "It's almost time, you still have to go to Qianqing Palace to meet the emperor. It's not appropriate to appear together because we have different identities. Let's go there first.
.”
The queen nodded, ordered the palace maids to light the palace lanterns to help us lead the way, and explained some things we should pay attention to. Aunt Rong and I then left Kunning Palace.
.
Not long ago, there was a flood in the south of the Yangtze River. The imperial court allocated a lot of money for disaster relief, and the palace also reduced the expenses accordingly. In previous years, the Queen Mother's birthday was celebrated with great fanfare. This year, only a small family banquet was held. Despite this, those who were entrusted to other places were
The two princes still rushed back after traveling thousands of miles. After sitting down, Aunt Rong quietly pointed me out and explained them one by one.
The King of Qin was about forty years old, and he was born tall and thick. He did not look like a pampered prince, but more like a rough bandit who wandered the rivers and lakes. He was a compatriot with the same mother as the current emperor. He really fulfilled the old saying, "A dragon gives birth to nine sons.
Everyone is different." King Qi's legs and feet were inconvenient, so his sons performed filial piety on his behalf. Unfortunately, the seats were too far apart, and he could only be vaguely seen wearing a purple robe, but his specific appearance could not be seen clearly.
In addition to these two, there are also four concubines present, their children in the capital, three princesses born by the queen mother and their sons-in-law, concubines of high rank in the palace, and all the princes and princesses.
, plus I, a princess of the opposite sex, although it was a family banquet in name, dozens of tables were laid out.
"The Queen Mother is here!" "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother is here!"
The eunuch's shrill chorus sounded, and everyone stood up and knelt down to take over. There was a slight uproar, and people fell on their backs. The Queen Mother sat down on a wide chair covered with thick mattresses, raised her hands, and said with a smile: "Everyone, get up!"
The King of Qin and the Crown Prince of Qi came out and knelt down together: "My sons (grandsons) wish my mother and queen (the imperial grandmother) to be as blessed as the flowing water of the East China Sea, to live as long as the immortal pines in the Nanshan Mountains, to be in good health, to live a long and prosperous life, and to live in peace and happiness forever."
The Queen Mother couldn't hide her joy, but she said against her will: "Birthdays are celebrated every year, and they are always like this. You are content to have this sad family, so why bother coming all the way back?"
King Qin didn't say anything, Prince Qi waved his hand, and immediately a young servant in blue came out, holding a brocade box in his hand. The prince took it, presented it to the Queen Mother respectfully with both hands, and said in a clear and calm voice: "
My father originally wanted to go to Beijing together, but now the weather is cold, and his cold syndrome cannot withstand the bumps, so he is really overwhelmed and unable to do so. However, my father has never missed the emperor's grandmother day by day. This birthday gift is my father's birthday gift.
The king personally prepared it, please accept it with the royal grandmother’s approval.”
The Queen Mother took it, opened the brocade box and took a look, her eyes filled with tears. The Emperor glanced sideways, and couldn't help but feel moved. He sighed: "I didn't know that your younger brother also knew the art of carving. I think he must have learned it now.
Your heart is really precious."
"Mother, please don't be sad. Several princesses have shed tears. Today is a festive day. It's rare for relatives to get together. Mother should be happy." The queen saw this and also tried to persuade her. The queen mother wiped it with a handkerchief.
He rolled his eyes, and his face finally cleared up from the rain. He turned to look at the emperor and ordered: "The children are probably hungry, let's start the feast."
.
The dishes came out like water, and everything was exquisite and meticulous. However, I spent a lot of time in the royal palace in my previous life. These are not unusual. I just didn't eat enough at noon. According to modern time, it should be 7:30 in the evening.
, I have been singing about the empty city plan for a long time, but my face maintains the elegance and dignity that a noble lady of aristocratic family should have, and I have no time to spare with chopsticks in my hand.
In the middle of the banquet, the heavy curtain on the stage opened. Monkey King jumped up with a golden hoop in his hand, covering his forehead with his hands to make a far-off look. Then the white-bone spirit dressed in seductive clothes appeared on the stage and fought with Monkey King for three hundred rounds.
It was a joy to watch, and the applause was loud and clear. I have no interest in opera at all. Moreover, it is a story like "Journey to the West" that is a household name in the 21st century. The TV station will rebroadcast it several times every winter and summer vacation. Not to mention memorizing it by heart, but everyone
I knew all the details. I secretly covered my lips with my sleeves and yawned, pretending to be serious, and stared at the stage without blinking. In fact, if you look carefully, you will find that my eyes are not focused at all.
.
After singing "The Monkey King Strikes the White Bone Demon Three Times", he changed to "The Drunken Concubine", followed by "Drunk and Strikes the Golden Bough" which is related to the royal family. I was so surprised that I almost thought I had traveled back in time. Now it seems that this era is not all imaginary.
There are still many things in common.
After all, the Queen Mother was old and couldn't stay up too late. As soon as the three plays were over, the Queen Mother said she was tired, so she went back to the palace. Everyone couldn't help but be in a hurry again. As soon as the Queen Mother Luan Jia left the imperial garden, the Prince of Qi stood up
He stood up and walked out of the procession, raised his hands and said to the emperor: "The concubine's natal family has a niece. When she heard that her nephew was going to the palace to celebrate her birthday, she clamored to come with her to see the world. Not only that, she also prepared a dance to serve as a celebration.
Birthday gift, but now the royal grandmother has returned to the palace..."
"Oh?" After hearing these words, the emperor said with interest: "Since we have prepared the congratulatory gifts, let's invite her in. Although the emperor's grandmother is not present, she can perform for all the relatives and relatives of the emperor, and it will not be worth her expense.
So much thought goes into it.”
.
Prince Qi took the order and retreated. After a while, a sonorous drum sound was heard in his ears. A young woman walked onto the stage barefoot, with a string of small copper bells hanging around her ankles. Her hair was combed into a fairy bun with double rings, and her upper body was only
Wearing a bright red tube top, it softly covers her chest. The lower body is a floor-length long skirt embroidered with gold threads. The waist of the skirt is tightly buckled on the lower abdomen, revealing a slender waist and a looming belly button.
There is a small cowhide drum in the middle, and he holds a wooden stick in each hand and beats it from time to time with the dance steps.
Dressed like this, it was not to congratulate the Queen Mother on her birthday, it was clearly for ulterior motives... I turned to look at the concubines, and sure enough, I saw their expressions changed at the same time. The Queen's face was as usual, and there was no emotion at all.
The waves are rough, so I don’t know.
This woman's face is not very beautiful, it can be called delicate at best, but her expression is charming and her movements are seductive, and the eyes of the men present are firmly attracted. Although I am not a person who knows everything, but I have been a person for three generations, and I can tell you at a glance.
It can be concluded that this woman is definitely not a young lady from an ordinary wealthy family. Even if a serious lady wears the same clothes and dances the same dance as her, her expression will definitely be different, and she will not be able to express the spirit of a brothel in her bones.
She danced extremely slowly in the beginning. As the tempo of the music became faster and faster, her dance steps also became faster and faster. She waved her hands alternately, and her wide skirt fluttered like the buds of a flower. It also looked like a huge stone being thrown into the lake.
The ripples spread out in circles, and the people watching were overwhelmed and amazed. Even I had to admit that this dance was indeed professional. Even if I were on stage, I would not be able to achieve this level.
"Zheng..." The strings of the accompanist musician suddenly broke. She couldn't reach her feet and stumbled and fell towards the stage. To make the picture clear, the stage was as high as two people, and she fell sideways. I'm afraid she would have to fall down.
The fall was hard, and the woman was so frightened that she exclaimed: "Help..."
"Whoosh whoosh", several figures rose up from the ground and flew towards the woman. However, when everyone noticed that there was a bright yellow mixed in, they suddenly stopped the car and calmly returned to their seats and sat down.
The emperor wants to save people, who dares to compete with him? Beauty is good, but life is more important.
After holding her in his arms and landing, the emperor patted her shoulder gently and comforted her: "Okay, don't be afraid, it's safe now, I'm here."
The beauty leaned weakly in the emperor's arms, clutching his sleeves tightly in her hands. Her face was pale and bloodless, and it was obvious that she had not recovered from the shock just now.
The emperor was very patient. After a while, when her face returned to normal, he lowered his head and asked her: "What is your name?"
The beauty replied coyly: "Back to the emperor, my daughter's name is Qingcheng, Gu Qingcheng."
"There is a beauty in the north, peerless and independent. She looks at Qingren City and then at Qingren Country..." The emperor chanted, raised his head and laughed loudly. He picked her up fiercely and said domineeringly: "Gu Qingcheng,
What a good name, and you are destined to be my woman."
After carrying her back to the dragon throne, the emperor loudly announced: "According to my decree, Gu Qingcheng is granted the title of Zhaoyi and is granted residence in Qiushui Palace."
I sighed secretly, the emperor and his wife were deeply in love, but it didn't seem to be the case today. I looked sideways at the queen, she lowered her head, the hand holding the silk handkerchief was shaking slightly under the desk, and her chest was panting rapidly.
After a long while, when he raised his head again with a virtuous smile on his face, he stood up, blessed the emperor, and said with a smile: "Congratulations to the emperor on your beautiful wife, I also have a new sister."
