Rule the Roost in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 390: Enter the palace

Views:

The people who perform dance music in the palace today are still the group of people that Li Hong trained in Taiyi City. They are composed according to the dance of Thousand-Hand Avalokitesvara. However, today, Dragon Father and Dragon Mother have made these people look different. , except for the familiar Thousand-Hand Guanyin, Li Hong couldn't tell what the other dances were.

Therefore, the Thousand-Hand Guanyin Dancers were now jokingly called the Hu Xuanwu professional dance team by Li Hong. For this reason, Wu Mei punished him with three drinks.

Whether it is the Hu Xuan Dance or various music and other dances, they all reached an unprecedented peak in the open era of the Tang Dynasty.

Whether it was Gaozu, Taizong, or Li Hong's current father Long, they had all worked hard on this court dance, and they had all choreographed various dances semi-professionally.

"The Music of King Qin Breaking the Formation" is the famous work of Emperor Taizong, while "Shangyuan Music", "Shengshou Music", etc. are the fruitful achievements of Dragon Father and Dragon Mother, but Li Hong has never been qualified to appreciate them.

For some reason, Wu Mei and Li Zhi were willing to arrange dance music for the courtiers to enjoy with other concubines in the harem, Li Xian and other princes, but they were unwilling to let Li Hong watch it.

Because the two of them really have no roots in their hearts. They don’t know what this unfilial son will say to make them feel embarrassed after watching the dance music they choreographed. After all, how much do the two of them face Li Hong in terms of artistic attainments? It's a bit unconfident.

After all, the shocking effect brought by the Thousand-Hand Guanyin and the sublime sublime music made the Thousand-Hand Guanyin the best dance music of the Tang Dynasty, which is difficult for others to surpass.

In addition to the current era, the musical instruments are nothing more than pipa, guzheng, transverse flute, various shengs, harp, and the most rhythmic waist drum, etc. There are no other new instruments.

Yan Lingbin, Xue Chuer, Huo Xiaoyu, and Du Qiuniang followed Pei Wanying. They were shocked when they received the invitations from the respectful Hua Meng and Jingzhe.

Xue Chuer, the most timid one, turned pale in an instant. The three Yan Lingbin girls were slightly better, but compared to Xue Chuer, they were just a little bit better.

Going to the palace to play dance music for the queen, this... This is something they could never imagine, or even dare to think about.

Although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince taught them a kind of footwork in a simple way a few days ago, which was called walking in the clouds. When he jumped out, his vision was indeed very good, and the four of them did feel like it when they first learned it. Obtain a treasure.

But as I practiced more deeply, I discovered that this dance step seems simple, but if you want to dance to a very realistic dance where the person is clearly walking forward, but giving people the illusion of walking backwards, you need to practice very seriously. of.

Now, although each of the four of them can practice and perform the dance steps very easily, they still feel a little bit behind when they think of four people doing it at the same time and combining it with other dance moves to achieve the smooth and flowing effect. Tacit understanding and proficiency.

The four girls looked at Hua Meng and Jing Zhe who were respectful, and then looked at Pei Wanying who was also confused, and they all felt like there was a short circuit in their heads for a moment.

"What is this guy going to do? It's already night, why did he suddenly think of it?" Pei Wanying's first reaction was that the prince who didn't act according to common sense was crazy again

However, he nodded quickly and asked the four girls to take their clothes and follow Hua Meng and the others to the palace quickly.

Since Pei Wanying was not ordered to enter the palace, Pei Wanying naturally could not accompany her. As for whether Xue Chuer and the others would come back that night, she did not dare to ask, so she had to bite the bullet and send Xue Chuer and the others to the door.

"Two palace ladies, I have to trouble you a lot on this journey. I don't expect some wine money..." Pei Wanying sent the four girls to the door. As she spoke, she took out the money she had just taken out of the room in a hurry from her sleeve pocket. , he handed it to Hua Meng and Jingzhe as he spoke.

"Miss has broken this slave. Even if you don't tell me, we will be careful along the way. If we don't do this, if the prince knows about it, the two of us will be tortured by the prince's cane. I hope young lady will take it back." Hua Meng I was so startled that I almost jumped up.

Good guy, I want to accept the benefits of the young lady that the prince loves, do I still want to get involved

Since the four of Xue Chuer and Pei Wanying got along, the five of them have become good sisters who talk about everything in a short period of time. In addition, Xue Chuer and the others are also well-educated and talented. Together with Pei Wanying, there is nothing wrong with them. Generation gap.

Pei Wanying held the silver in her hand and neither handed it over nor accepted it. She could only stand there and watch Xue Chuer and the others get on the carriage in the East Palace. After watching Hua Meng and Jingzhe salute to her again, they got on the carriage shafts on both sides and sped away.

Pei Wanying stared blankly in the direction of the carriage leaving, but she didn't know that this scene was seen by her future good sister Yang Yu.

Since Hua Meng and Jing Zhe were temporarily dispatched by Li Hong, they didn't even have time to change their clothes. They ran out in eunuch clothes.

Yang Yu, who was preparing to go to Pei Mansion, naturally saw this scene clearly, especially the respectful attitude of the two palace ladies towards Pei Wanying, which made her feel envious and jealous.

After seeing Pei Wanying watching the carriage disappear, she lowered her head and returned to the house. After the concierge closed the door in time, Yang Yu's face became more and more livid, and finally he had to stamp his feet and turn around with his maid and go back. It’s okay if Pei Mansion doesn’t go today.

Full of fear and uneasiness, he followed Hua Meng and Jing Zhe as they walked quickly into the palace. The bright armored Jinwu Guards, the smooth bluestone road under their feet, the tall and solemn palace buildings, the palace lanterns all made of glass, etc. Wait, the entire palace is full of elegance that is beyond their reach.

Walking in the palace of Nuoda, the four girls were filled with uneasiness and nervousness, while feeling their own insignificance and humiliation. Only when they were in the palace did they realize that the names of the four famous celebrities, the gold and silver they had been chasing for many years, Compared to this huge palace, everything becomes unimportant.

Walking like ants, they couldn't help but feel a sense of vanity and pride. This was a royal palace. There were thousands of people in the world, but how many people in the world could be able to walk like this in the palace

Amidst the tension, excitement and restlessness, the four girls could hear faint sounds of music and laughter, and even some familiar and unfamiliar melodies.

The eunuch named Hua Meng in front of him stopped at the door, asked them to wait for a moment, and then hurried in to report.

Soon, Hua Meng came out again and said with a smile: "Four ladies, please remember the etiquette I just taught you."

"Yes, I have written it down." Along the way, Hua Meng once told them that you are now your beloved ones. In addition, although it is the reason for following Miss Pei, when it comes to it, it is the crown prince who redeemed your body for you, so When you see the queen and salute, you need to call yourself a slave.

The four girls followed closely behind Jingzhe and Hua Meng, and walked into the palace with their heads lowered. The thick and soft carpet under their feet made them almost think they had stepped in vain.

"Queen, I brought them here." Hua Meng's voice sounded in the ears of the four Xue Chuer girls.

The four girls did not dare to raise their heads. They nervously murmured the instructions given to them by the two palace servants along the way. They timidly saluted the queen and said, "Your servants Yan Lingbin, Huo Xiaoyu, Du Qiuniang, and Xue Chu'er have met the queen."

"Get up, raise your head, why are you so nervous?" A drunken female voice came to their ears, and the four of them thought: This must be the Queen's voice. So he raised his head in response and looked at the place where the sound came from.

Looking around, I saw a woman wearing a light yellow narrow-sleeved Confucian shirt and a palace dress. Her hair was only combed into a simple swallowtail bun, but she still looked graceful and luxurious, with a slight blush on her fair cheeks, with a faint The beautiful lady with a smile was looking at the four of them with a smile.

At this moment, Mrs. Mei is holding a crystal glass half full of grape wine. Her graceful and luxurious demeanor seems to be mixed with a sense of supreme dignity and majesty. Her face is stained with redness, but her eyes are slightly drunk. It was still bright and sharp, as if it could see through them, causing several people to face it for less than three to five breaths before they lowered their heads involuntarily.

"She is really a handsome young lady, Li Hong. It seems that you did not attend this poetry meeting in vain. You carry 1.8 million taels of silver with you. Could it be that you have long wanted to redeem your life for them?" Wu Mei She began to speak with a hint of drunkenness, as if she was drunk but still awake, and her lazy posture made Wu Mei, who was already in her forties, not inferior to these four famous celebrities in terms of appearance.

Even Bai Chun admired the queen from the bottom of her heart for her good care. With her delicate skin, green hair, and graceful figure, she was simply a well-dressed beauty.

Li Hong, who was playing with Li Lingyue on the flute held by the court musician, played the flute for a long time. Except for the whining sound, there was no prelude to the beautiful music played on the flute.

At this time, when she heard Long Ma's question, she handed the flute to Li Lingyue, who had been shouting for a long time to play it. Hey, he ran to sit next to Wu Mei and looked at the four Yan Lingbin girls with satisfaction, who had obviously been dressed up carefully. , and then said: "The queen mother must not accuse her son unjustly. I went there that day just to appreciate the style of my scholar son of the Tang Dynasty."

"So you brought four pretty little ladies to your east palace? No, did you give them to Pei Wanying?"

"You must be happy to give it to me... Oops... Wrong, wrong." Li Hong, who had not had his ears pulled for several days, suddenly felt his ears tighten and hurt. Mother Long's hands were hard, fast and steady. He grabbed his ear.

"You unfilial son, try it and see how I deal with you." Wu Mei put down the wine glass in her hand and said in a demonstrative and warning tone.

Yan Lingbing, Xue Chuer, Huo Xiaoyu, and Du Qiuniang were stunned. What they saw in front of them was not commensurate with the fairy-like status of the queen they had imagined.

And the Crown Prince, now looks like a lucky little daughter-in-law, without any trace of the Crown Prince's majesty.
