Chapter 271 Talent
Mo Ziyao went back to the palace to change her clothes and returned to the banquet again. Everyone was still drinking happily. I couldn't help looking up to see Ruan Lingzheng first. Seeing that he was still raising his glass and talking and laughing with the guests, it seemed that he didn't find it when he came in and didn't look more.
In the late autumn, he left from King Pingren and came to her and asked in a low voice, "Where has the Empress gone? I haven't been back for such a long time, which makes me so worried.
Mo Ziyao smiled faintly: "I slept drunk in the pavilion for a long time, but I overslept."
She sighed softly and said, "If you don't come back, the emperor should send someone out to look for it." As she said, she looked at the seat where King Xuan had been sitting, bent down and whispered, "As soon as the Empress left, King Xuan was drunk and dizzy, and followed her. I saw that the emperor's face was very bad."
Mo Ziyao's heart suddenly sank down, and she naturally knew what late autumn meant. Suddenly, he felt that he should not leave the table tonight. Thinking that when he just came in, Ruan Lingzheng didn't want to look at himself. Obviously, he thought that he and King Xuan had gone down to meet in private.
While talking, I saw that King Xuan also came in impartially, and happened to be with her.
After he sat down, he looked at this side without concealment. Mo Ziyao suddenly felt anger surging, and her hands clenched between her wide sleeves. He gritted his teeth and said, "What a king of Xuan, I, Mo Ziyao, don't think I have offended you, but you have been against me again and again. It's really unbearable!"
Yu Chi Chenyi and Fumo Zheyu's eyes also fell on this side at the same time, with one eye full of thought and a smile on the corners of his lips, with a playful look.
But Ruan Lingzheng coughed softly and said, "With a few cups, I'm also a little drunk and asked people to have some melons and fruit to drink."
The maid of honor has been holding all kinds of fresh fruits that have been washed for a long time. The crystal of crystal like ice is filled with melons and jade white, watermelons are bright red, lotus flowers and green, and purple grapes.
The Empress Dowager glanced at Ruan Lingzheng and smiled and said, "Although today's song and dance are grand, they are too rigid. Why don't you think of something easy?"
Ruan Lingzheng said, "Mother, you are the master today. If you have any ideas, let me hear it."
"The mourning family thinks that the women in the palace are all famous and must have some strengths. It's better to write these strengths on paper. Who caught something to entertain the guests? What does the emperor think?"
Ruan Lingzheng nod his head and said, "This idea is fresh. Just do as the mother said.
The Empress Dowager smiled and raised her hand gently. Lu'er hurried down to prepare, but for a moment, she came to the seat and asked each of the women present to reach out to get the lot.
Everyone rubbed their palms, and Concubine Yunxian suddenly stood up, gently stroked her lower abdomen with her right hand, and apologized to the Empress Dowager Ruan Lingzheng: "Empress, emperor, my concubine has no strengths. She can only make ribbons and play, which is really difficult to go to the elegant hall. Why don't you give this opportunity to the sisters who are ready? My concubine has thought about it. No matter what the sisters perform, I will send a tape to show my heart. Is it good?"
The Empress Dowager looked kindly at her lower abdomen and said with a smile, "That's barely enough."
Princess Hui said, "What if the paper drawn is not written on a sister's strengths, what should I do?"
The Empress Dowager laughed and said, "Even if it's not a long one, the fur always knows something. Besides, it's just for fun, whatever you want.
The banquet has been held for more than an hour, and the silk bamboo vocal music is also tired of listening to it. Seeing that the Empress Dowager put forward this idea, everyone thought it was interesting and eager to try.
In addition to the princess of the State of China, there are also several family members of courtiers present. They rarely come to the palace and have no preparation.
Mo Ziyao noticed that they sat awkwardly and their faces were slightly nervous. However, the princess still sat there, but her eyes sometimes fell on Ruan Lingzheng, and sometimes crossed Ruan Ling County, a little absent-minded.
And the concubines in the palace have always competed for hundreds of treasures and beauty. Now that there is such a move, it is also a matter of competing for face in front of the empress and nobles, which is very competitive.
When they held a paper tag in their hand, the Empress Dowager said, "In view of the time, not every sheet is written on the program. Only books, piano, paintings, poems and singing were left. These six dances, I think these are not difficult for you who are versatile.
As soon as the Empress Dowager's voice fell, she heard a noise from the stage. The women opened the paper sticks one after another. Some were glad, some were happy, some were helpless, some were proud, and some were worried.
Mo Ziyao also drew one and unfolded it, and it turned out to be blank. She didn't feel too disappointed, but Yuzhi behind her sighed heavily.
At this time, everyone had seen the paper signature. There were 18 concubines, plus nine accompanying women, a total of 27 people, and only six people needed to perform. Therefore, the vast majority of people, like Mo Ziyao, draw blank.
The hall suddenly became quiet, and everyone was waiting for the person who was drawn to perform. Hui Guifei was the first to stand up. She shook the paper sign in her hand and said with a smile, "I drew a 'book'. But my concubine is not talented. She is quite proficient in dancing guns and sticks, but it is difficult to be elegant. After thinking about it, I changed the sword dance to a brush.
When everyone heard it, they felt very fresh and looked at it. Hui Guifei waved to Zi'er to prepare the props for use. After a while, Zi'er returned, with a seven-foot-long brush in her hand, holding a roll of red silk in the arms of the maidservant behind her.
Hui Guifei stepped forward slowly, and Lu'er respectfully presented a wolf pen. She took it with one hand, flipped it with her bare hands, and threw the brush up. The lotus step moved gently, and her body flew lightly.
In the air, there is a mixture of the sound of brush flying, coupled with her graceful posture, which is indescribably beautiful. As soon as she hooked her bare hands, the brush fell into her hand, her toes stood up, and her body fell lightly in the center of the field.
She took the red silk in her hand and raised her arm and shook it hard. When she saw the square red silk, she flew straight to the beam. She took off her right hand and threw three inches of hairpin from her head and threw it on the beam. She only heard three crisp sounds. The three hairpins had been distributed on the beam, and the red silk was fastened. It is firmly fixed on the top.
After that, she held a brush in one hand and wrote a gentle horizontal on Mo Fei's body. Her body leaned slightly to the left, her left foot was slightly hard on the pillar on one side, and her body rotated and flew towards the red silk. At the moment of rotation, she quickly wrote down the other two horizontals. At the moment her body fell, she leaned to the right, and the borrowing force under her feet again When she was held high, the movements of her hands became rapid, her arms waving gracefully, and the powerful strokes and horizontal lifting on the red silk were completed.
Mo Ziyao was slightly distracted, and only heard everyone shouting softly, and the shadow of the woman in front of her shook. Looking intently, she saw the corners of her mouth smiling, turning her slender waist, whirlling several times, and her toes fell to the ground.
There was not much ink on the pen. She landed, stained the ink again, raised her hand and threw the brush out. The pen flipped and flew forward quickly. After hitting the red silk, she fell down. She flipped out and fell horizontally under the red silk. The last stroke of the finishing touch was also completed. When her action was completed, the brush also fell into her hand.
Behind her, a huge "shou" picture has been born. For a moment, everything was silent, leaving only the red silk and the word 'shou' still moving. She used a graceful technique, led by the dance pen, and presented it completely.
"Good!" Ruan Lingzheng couldn't help clamping. For a moment, everyone talked about it one after another, and they all praised each other. Most of them were amazed. Liu Yanfei stood up, clapped his hands hard, and shouted 'good'.
The noble concubine Hui slowly got up, handed over the brush in her hand to the maidservant beside her, pulled the red silk, shook her hand and rolled it up, handed it to the empress dowager, and then said, "I wish the empress dowager a blessing in the East China Sea and a long life!"
The performance of Hui Guifei is wonderful. Combining martial arts and calligraphy, amazing handwriting and heartfelt words, no one can be more happy than her.
Sure enough, the Empress Dowager laughed so much that she couldn't close her mouth, praised her repeatedly, and waved her hand and said, "Come on, come to my family. Emperor, that's why I like her!"
Hui Guifei came forward with a smile, and the palace people were busy adding a seat on the edge of the empress dowager. The concubines and several women were busy flattering.
Mo Ziyao's hands unconsciously clenched, and suddenly she became alert again. This is the first time to see Hui Guifei show her talent in front of everyone. Her 'talent' is indeed amazing, and at the same time, she secretly speculates in her heart how far her martial arts have come to.
The noble concubine Hui has returned to the table. Next, Jing Chongyi recited a poem with the theme of celebrating her birthday; Qian Chongyuan and Ling Chongyuan sang a song "Water Fairy Exercise"; Chen Shunyi drew a Danqing "Guanyin Sending Son"; He Jing's concubine sang a song "Thinking of Return" all of them.
There was only the last 'dance' left. Everyone waited for a long time and didn't see the person who was drawn stand up. Everyone looked left and right to find out who the man was. The Empress Dowager was a little impatient, but Yu Chi Chenyi suddenly stood up and shouted, "You don't have to look for it. The last 'dance' was pulled by the little sister." Later, the Empress Dowager and Ruan Lingzheng arched their hands and said, "My little sister has always been weak and sick, and it is really not appropriate to do strenuous activities. I hope I can give up."
"No... I can do it!" His voice has just fallen. Princess Lianmo beside her suddenly stood up and her face was a little flushed. Obviously, the two had argued about this paper sign before.
At the moment when Yu Chichenyi lost her mind, she grabbed the paper tag from his hand, pressed it in her hand, and said firmly, "Brother, Li Mo's body can withstand it. Please let me dance a song "Phoenix" but my sister's wish."
Mo Ziyao looked at the two in surprise and saw that the color of the Empress changed slightly, while Ruan Lingzheng looked at the ink in a daze. There was an unconcealed shock in his eyes, and his mouth kept repeating: Feng Qiuhuang, Feng Qiuhuang...
The Empress Dowager frowned, but turned to Ruan Lingzheng with a smile and said, "What does the emperor think? The princess has a lot of thoughts. She deliberately bit the four words of thought very hard, hoping that Ruan Lingzheng would not lose his weight on such an occasion.
Ruan Lingzheng slowly withdrew his eyes and said softly, "Since the princess is carefully prepared, let's dance." But if you feel that you are exhausted, don't be strong anymore.
His pitiful words not only made the Empress Dowager's face change greatly, but also made Hui Guifei smile in an instant. Concubine Yunxian also frowned, raised her eyes, and looked at the woman who was talking.
Everyone also showed a surprised look. Mo Ziyao bit her lips and looked up at the masked woman. At this moment, even she wanted to see her beautiful moonlight. Unfortunately, the veil was covered and hazy, and she could only identify her uplifted figure according to her figure.
I don't know why, there was a slight jealousy in her heart. From this moment on, Mo Ziyao knew that she, Princess Mo, was her biggest enemy.
