On the fifteenth day of every month, a family banquet was held in the Queen's Changchun Palace as usual. The Queen sat at the head, the highest-ranking Concubine Hui sat on the second seat, and the Prince sat opposite her. The Ministry of Internal Affairs arranged the latest
The singing and dancing troupe performed, and all the kabuki dancers tried their best to win the favor. During the first year of Emperor Qianlong's reign, most of the seats in the harem were vacant, which attracted the attention of the female family members like moths to a flame.
.
It was just that the newly favored Concubine Hui, the Gao family, relied on her brother's military exploits to suppress all the female relatives, and even ordered the palace maids not to apply makeup or powder. For a time, all the pretty women in the palace were in danger and did not dare to show their faces in front of Concubine Hui. The Holy Lord heard that
This did not punish him, but instead favored him even more, so today this singing and dancing troupe has become a thorn in the side of this domineering imperial concubine.
A Dunhuang dance was performed in the garden. In order to recreate the style of the Western Regions, the dancers all wore midriff-baring dance skirts, veils on their heads, and golden bells. The leading dancers were the chief dancers Luqiao and Hongxiao.
The perfect combination of one strong and one soft made the royal nobles present fascinated. He and the prince even entered the dance floor to swim with the two beauties. Emperor Qianlong was very pleased to see his brother being so unruly, "The fifth brother is still the same."
Back then, the romance never diminished!" Hong Zhou held Lv Qiao up with one hand, and his soft body in green gauze danced in the wind, just like that night at Prince Bao's Mansion three years ago, when he was also a flying apron in Dunhuang.
Dance, but now things have changed and people have changed.
Seeing Hongli looking at the dancer longingly and drinking one cup after another, Gao became jealous and his phoenix eyes almost wanted to tear Luqiao into pieces, "What a charming monster that seduces the Lord! How can I let you be here?"
This is one of the best!" After saying this, he raised his glass and stood up, bowed gracefully, and said to the emperor with a sweet voice, "Your Majesty, when I saw this dance, I couldn't help but feel moved, and I felt itchy for a moment. I wonder if the emperor can allow me to join them.
Let's dance together and make the king smile?" Hongli was naturally happy to see it.
From the back hall, Mrs. Gao changed into pure white Han Chinese dance clothes. She had a wide robe with long sleeves and slanted temples, giving her a unique look. When she came on stage, she threw her embroidered shoes in the air towards the seat. Hongli smiled at him and accepted them happily. The music of the Western Regions was added with the martial arts of the Han Dynasty.
With the majestic war drums, two figures, one white and one green, danced in front of the hall. Lu Qiao was originally a very high-spirited woman. Seeing Gao's pressing step by step, she became even more unwilling to give in. She used her special skills and used
With a look of her eyes, she ordered all the dancers to raise the big drum high. Hong Xiao knowingly inserted the scabbard into the drum. Green Qiao climbed up from her shoulders, stood on the scabbard with her toes, and raised one foot backward toward the top of her head, like a
The peacock with its tail open. Not to be outdone, Gao ordered the palace attendants to carry four water tanks, climbed onto the water tank with bare feet, jumped up in the air next to the tank like a drunken imperial concubine, and brought out the smallest drops of water, which landed lightly on the side of the tank.
, like a clear lotus emerging from the water.
When Hongli saw that the two beauties were quarreling with each other, he stopped him and said, "If my beloved concubine keeps dancing like this and gets her clothes wet, I will feel bad for her." Rong Er winked and ordered the palace attendants to offer brocade robes.
After changing Concubine Hui's clothes, Gao threw herself into the emperor's arms as soon as she stepped off the stage and said coquettishly, "Your Majesty, who dances better, the concubine or the dancer in green?" Hongli nodded her nose and said, "You
I am the imperial concubine of the Qing Dynasty. How can I be on the same level as the Lefang girl? My beloved concubine's temperament is of course even more outstanding!" After hearing this, Concubine Hui swallowed her breath and squinted towards the stage, looking arrogant. Seeing this, Lu Qiao saw this
, I felt very unwilling, so I had to grit my teeth and endure it for the time being.
