The Legend of Zhen Huan through Xuan Ling

The famous wine on the table is roasted hot, the preserved meat is wild, the harp in the corner of the hall is long, and the breeze blows the curtain, which makes people feel relaxed and happy.

After drinking for three rounds, Zhen Huan's face became hot and her head was dizzy. Seeing that everyone was talking happily about the wine, she quietly took Liu Yuan out to change clothes to sober up.

Huanqing had already ordered Jingqing and Pei'er to prepare replacement clothes in the small pavilion next to Fuli Hall.Although the Fuli Palace was cooler than other places, the wine was hot, and Zhen Huan's close-fitting little clothes were already sticky and uncomfortable with sweat.

There are all kinds of things in the small pavilion, which are specially used for changing clothes and sobering up for the concubines and family members who are accompanying them.Seeing Zhen Huan coming in, Jingqing and Pei'er rushed forward to greet her, fanning her hands and handing water.

Zhen Huan took the wet handkerchief and covered her face, "The weather is also strange, it's so hot before June."

Jingqing accompanied her with a smile and said, "It's no wonder I'm sweating all over from the heat to entertain so many concubines and concubines."

Zhen Huan said softly, "Where do you want me to go out to socialize? Today is a good day for Jing Zhaoyi, we just need to sit down, drink and listen to music."

Jingqing smiled and said, "The young master of Weidao didn't go out in fancy clothes today."

Zhen Huan took a sip of tea and said: "The protagonist of today's feast is Jing Zhaoyi, and it's time for her to shine. It's not that we should stay away from the limelight, so as not to cause trouble. Sometimes it's better to be quiet than to move."

While changing Zhen Huan's clothes, Pei'er interjected, "Is there anything that can't be avoided in this palace? What if it can't be avoided?"

Zhen Huan squinted at her, but said nothing.Huanqing interjected: "Since we can't avoid it, we have to stand still for a while and wait for the opportunity to make an unexpected move, so as to win by surprise. My little master, don't you think so?"

Zhen Huan smiled and said: "Living with me in the palace these days, you have grown a lot."

Huanqing lowered her eyebrows and smiled: "Thank you, my lord, for your compliment." After changing into a light purple palace attire, Huanqing said, "Your lord, do you want to go back to the table immediately?"

Zhen Huan thought for a while, and said: "Of course, after leaving the banquet for so long, if someone finds out, it would be bad to tell the emperor. Let's go back quickly." She helped Liu Zhu's hand and went back.

Zhen Huan tidied up her clothes and quietly returned to the banquet. She couldn't help but go to see Xuan Ling first. Just as Xuan Ling looked towards her, Xuan Ling asked, "Where did Rou Qing go just now? Why didn't you see anyone for a while?"

"The concubine was drunk, so I went to the small pavilion to sober up." Zhen Huan said with a smile.

"I'm a little drunk too, so I'll ask someone to serve some melons and fruits to relieve the bar." The court lady had already brought fresh fruits of various colors from the well water, and the clear as ice crystal platter contained cantaloupe jade white, watermelon bright red, and lotus pods full of emerald green , Grape congealed purple.

At this time, Cao Qinmo, my concubine, stepped forward and said with a smile: "Although today's singing and dancing is grand, it's just too rigid. It's a family banquet, and all the people here are relatives, why don't you think of something relaxing good?"

Xuan Ling said, "Let's hear what you have in mind."

"The concubine thinks that all the sisters in the palace must have merits to serve the holy driver. Why not write down these merits and draw lots on paper. Whoever catches something will perform in public to entertain the guests. What does the emperor think?"

Xuan Ling nodded and said, "This idea is fresh. Just follow what you said."

Cao Qinmo hurriedly went down to prepare, but after a while, he brought a square bottle with blue patterns, "This idea is proposed by the concubine, why not let the concubine take care of the lottery."

Xuan Ling asked: "Why, you, the one who came up with the idea, don't act in a scene yourself?"

Cao Qinmo said: "The concubine has nothing to do, she only knows how to play beads, it's really hard to be elegant. The concubine has already made up her mind, no matter what the sisters perform, the concubine will give a string of beads to show her heart Your Majesty, do you agree?"

"That's barely passable." Xuan Ling was a little disappointed, but still let Cao Qinmo go.

The banquet has been going on for half a day, and I am tired of listening to silk and bamboo vocal music. Seeing that Concubine Jin mentioned this idea, they all find it interesting and are eager to try it.

The concubines in the palace saw that such a move was a matter of competing for face in front of the emperor's relatives, and they all had a lot of intentions to compete for beauty.

Cao Qinmo drew the empress with the word "Shou" written on her left and right hands.Zhu Yixiu's exquisite 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.

Mrs. Duan Qi Yuebin played a piece of pipa; Jing Zhaoyi and Li Xinyu wrote a poem; Kui Shuyi and Tang Jingyan wrote the first lyrics; Concubine Feng Ruozhao drew a picture; ; Xin Jieyu Lv Yingfeng performed tea art, flowing clouds and flowing water, which shows her proficiency; Yun concubine Du Peiyun played a song "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix";

Cao Qinmo raised her plain hand, drew a paper lottery and said in the palm of her hand: "This is from Concubine Rou." As she opened the paper lottery and looked at it, she laughed first: "Please ask my sister to compose the song "Jinghong Dance". He turned his head to Xuan Ling and said with a smile: "My sister's appearance is originally 'as graceful as a frightened bird, as graceful as a dragon', 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."

Zhen Huan's hands are slightly curled up. "Jinghong Dance" was originally created by Tang Xuanzong's concubine Meifei, and it has been lost for a long time.Mrs. Xue, Zhu Rou, loves rhythmic dance. After searching for the original dance several times, she painstakingly modified it. She once taught Gu Jiayi, the No. 1 dance workshop.

This Gu Jiayi danced across the world at a palace banquet, and everyone was amazed. Gu Jiayi took this opportunity to ask Xuan Ling to let her leave her lowly status and return to her hometown.King Xuanqing of Qinghe couldn't help sighing when he heard about this woman's experience, so he begged Emperor Xuanling to agree to Gu Jiayi's request. After discussing with Queen Zhu Yixiu, Xuanling bestowed a hundred taels of gold and ordered someone to send Gu Jiayi back to her hometown.Since then, "Jinghong Dance" has become popular both in the palace and among the people, and women at wells have performed "Jinghong Dance".

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.

Lu Yingfeng showed a bit of disdain: "How old is Rou Concubine, how can she write "Jinghong Dance"?"

Cao Qin smiled silently: "Sister Xin underestimated Sister Rou too much. Sister Rou has always been smart. Besides, it would be reasonable if her dancing is not as good as Mrs. Gu's. My sisters can do as they please, and there is no need to be serious."

Fei Yunyan sneered: "If you can't dance, then don't dance. Why bother? The Gu family once danced the world, and now there is no one who can match it."

When these few people said these words, they clearly used aggressive methods.There was a chill in Zhen Huan's heart, and she had thought clearly before and after.If you don't dance, you will inevitably make people laugh.If it's a dance, if you don't dance well, you will inevitably be ridiculed.

After watching a good show, Xuan Ling felt refreshed, and said with a smile, "You can just dance to a song as you please."

Now that Xuan Ling spoke, Zhen Huan could no longer refuse. She took a deep breath and walked slowly to the center of the hall.

Sun Miaoqing, the concubine of Shun, got up suddenly, and said with a smile to the emperor: "Just right, the concubine and concubine Qian haven't performed yet, why don't concubine play the piano and sister Qian sing to cheer for sister Rou."

Xuan Ling was very interested, nodded and said: "Go and fetch Concubine Shu's 'Long Lovesickness'." The eunuch hurriedly brought the piano.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 invited her to go out of the palace to practice, and the qin and flute stayed in the palace.

Sun Miaoqing adjusted her voice a few times and nodded towards Zhen Huan.An Ningrong bowed to the Empress, bowed her head and sat beside Miaoqing, Zhen Huan nodded slightly, and Ning Rong began to sing in a manly voice.Let's play, dance, and Zhen Huan will also dance.

Xuan Ling raised his eyebrows, this Zhen's dance is pretty good, although not as good as Mrs. Xue, but comparable to Gu's.

At the end of the song, Xuan Ling applauded first, and then the others also applauded. Zhen Huan lowered her head and smiled sweetly: "The concubine is a little tricky, just to make everyone laugh."

Cao Qinmo's complexion changed slightly, and he smiled instantly and said to Xuanling: "The emperor sees what the concubine said? My sister is indeed smart, and can perform dances that ordinary people cannot. She is not inferior to Mrs. Gu."

Xuan Ling nodded, and said, "What Jinqing said is absolutely true."

After a while, after the banquet, everyone dispersed on their own.
