The Royal Concubine followed her usual extravagant style. The flowers at the flower viewing banquet were enchanting and dazzling, and she also prepared a grand song and dance performance. But what was even more pleasing to the eye was the beauties who attended the banquet. Everyone tried their best, just because the emperor today
Coming, this also revealed the status of the royal concubine to everyone, and the emperor also attended the banquet she held. This made many concubines who came to the banquet have ulterior motives, hoping to get the emperor's attention and favor.
A tangled butterfly agate headdress with a fluttering blue butterfly on the head. In the palace with red walls and yellow tiles, a dragonfly flies up to the jade and scratches the head. The gilt-pointed emerald flower basket earrings are gold inlaid with red gemstones.
Gold bracelets, the royal concubine is wearing a long purple fishtail dress with milky white pearls studded between the collars. It is the new style of Junjin this year. Her makeup is gorgeous and delicate, and her every smile and every move is noble.
With a coquettish voice and a graceful figure, Wang Guifei smiled again and again and walked to sit next to the main seat. The other concubines had already arrived. Although they were not as pompous as Wang Guifei, they also used all their wealth. They would take this opportunity every year
If you grasp it carefully, you hope to get the emperor's special attention. Concubine Huan Xian never attends such occasions. Although Concubine Li Shu arrived, she still looked quiet and comfortable, wearing an elegant blue dress and sitting quietly.
The one below the official position. Although her son was the crown prince of the dynasty, she did not show off to the public because of it. Instead, she suppressed all the light and lived in seclusion to avoid being a big tree. When someone talks about this timid and timid Concubine Li Shu, they think of it.
That court minister, who was the Prime Minister of the Left Dynasty, served Sima Shi loyally, and the daughter he raised was docile, polite, kind and benevolent, and did not participate in any harem struggles. Everyone said that this was deeply influenced by her father.
The concubines were shouting and laughing, and most of all, they were saying sweet words to today's master, trying to get closer to her to attract the emperor's attention. The concubine Wang Guifei, wrapped in the crowd, still looked arrogant and domineering as usual, listening to everyone's words happily.
flatter.
As soon as "The Emperor has arrived", the whole place fell into silence. Everyone became demure and respectful, stood up and knelt down to worship.
One was wearing a golden robe with a gold brocade belt around his waist and a green dragon-shaped jade pendant. His long black hair was lifted high and tied up with a jade hairpin. His sword-shaped eyebrows were raised between his foreheads. He had a handsome face and temperament.
The noble man slowly walked towards the main seat with a natural aura, giving everyone around him a feeling of reverence from the bottom of their hearts.
Sima Rui walked to his seat, turned around, and said calmly to everyone: "My beloved concubines are flat."
All the concubines looked at each other affectionately and secretly glanced at the people in the seats. Unfortunately, Sima Rui's expression was indifferent and he didn't pay much attention for a while. Instead, he saw the quiet Concubine Li Shu and asked lightly: "Concubine Shu, how is Shaoer's studies recently?"
Concubine Shu bowed her head and said respectfully: "Shaoer studies hard every day and practices martial arts diligently. He will definitely not disappoint the emperor."
A seductive smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "Well, thank you for teaching Shao'er."
There was a hint of bitterness in the corners of Concubine Shu's mouth: "This is my concubine's honor."
"Your Majesty," Wang Guifei was not willing to be left aside. She then approached and said coquettishly: "I am holding this banquet for the sake of the Emperor. The Emperor didn't even look at me."
"Oh, what should I say?" Sima Rui turned his head and looked at her, looking at her. Wang Guifei watched him look at herself, and she couldn't help but find a sultry figure, which made her whole person look more charming and sexy. She showed her perfection just right.
With a proud figure and well-dressed, Sima Rui had a smile in his eyes, and Wang Guifei glanced shyly. She thought that everything she had prepared finally attracted his attention.
However, Sima Rui looked at the colorful flowers in the garden and a group of shy concubines. They admired her and loved him. Maybe they loved his status and his power, but no matter what, they would die.
He followed him. However, for some reason, he suddenly thought of that elegant face and that thin figure. She was like a plum, standing proudly at any time. She was more like a lotus, as if she had emerged from the mud unstained, clear and pure. If
When she comes here, she must be wearing the most casual clothes and sitting in an inconspicuous corner. She will not change herself to please anyone. Even if she lives a humble life, even if she lives in darkness, even if she is not
Attention anyone.
Sima Rui couldn't help but smile, this is her. Why had he never noticed her before? Didn't notice her beauty, her indifference, her cold heart. He was suddenly glad that he saw that book. Look.
to the real her.
That she attracted him deeply. She reminded him of someone, someone he loved deeply.
Thinking again, they are really similar.
"Your Majesty—" A sweet voice interrupted Sima Rui's thoughts.
He came back to his senses and asked gently: "What's the matter, my beloved concubine?"
"Are you listening to what I was saying just now?" There was a slight grievance in her tone. Concubine Wang's pink lips pursed slightly.
Sima Rui put his arms around her slender waist: "What, are you wronged?"
"How dare I, my concubine," the tone was still coquettish, "Your Majesty, just enjoy the flowers and watch the song and dance that I have prepared for you."
Sima Rui still had a gentle look on her face, tapped her nose, and said softly: "Today my concubine is the master, and I completely obey my concubine's arrangements."
Wang Guifei smiled happily, turned around and said like a hostess: "Come, get ready to sing and dance."
The same dancer, the same dance, the same banquet. Although Sima Rui was smiling, he was already impatient in his heart. However, he had learned to remain calm in such situations since he was young.
As if seeing his impatience, Wang Guifei dismissed the dancers, and many musicians came in. From beginning to end, Sima Rui remained elegant and noble, without rejection or any joy.
Sitting there lazily, listening to the music without any changes, Sima Rui felt a little dazed.
Until a familiar and pleasant tune sounded, Sima Rui immediately woke up.
"What piece of music is this?" Sima Rui's voice was very abrupt. The musicians who had been playing were stunned for a long time before they came back to their senses. One of the musicians with a calm expression and no fear in his eyes stepped forward and said, "Report to your Majesty, this piece of music is
It's called "Tears of Beauty."
"Who made the tune?"
"Your Majesty," the musician said, neither humble nor arrogant, "I am a slave."
"Is it you?" Sima Rui's tone was full of disbelief.
The musician's expression remained unchanged: "Actually, I am not a slave. I accidentally heard this piece of music in the palace. After collecting it, everyone thought it was beautiful and pleasant. So I dare to play it here today. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
Concubine Wang also said curiously: "Your Majesty, all the sisters like this song very much after listening to it. They think it is very novel and beautiful."
"Who is it? Where did you hear it?" Sima Rui's tone was a little urgent.
"Luoshuang Palace." The musician said calmly.
"Luoshuang Palace?" Not only Sima Rui was a little surprised, but also all the concubines present were surprised.
"Yes," the musician said without fear, "Your Majesty, please forgive me for talking too much. In recent years, there have been many strange scenes in Luoshuang Palace." When he said this, he hesitated.
"Say." Sima Rui has regained his composure.
"I don't know why, this year, there are often sounds of laughter, singing, dancing, piano and flute, and music coming out of Luoshuang Palace this year. It suddenly changed from a cold and lonely place to a fairyland on earth. Minions
Although they didn't go in, they all speculated on how beautiful it was there. The servants often went there to eavesdrop on their songs, and then recomposed them, and everyone in the palace loved them."
Sima Rui's eyes sparkled: "Then, my musician, can you sing that song for me again?"
"Of course, Your Majesty."
The musician went back and took his seat, then the music started playing slowly.
"A curtain of lovesickness and an empty pillow to sleep on"
Leaning against the window and crying at the moon
Asking from a distance where the beauty is worried
The truth is endless and the heart is filled with sadness
I want to invite the bright moon to send my thoughts
Tears spread across the world, love has a long journey
I don’t know where the hero is now
But I saw the flowers flying all over the sky
Tender memories of the past
True love, true love
The storm turns to lamentation
The dream of ending the world is gone and will never come back
The love thread is broken and the flowers fly away
A lifetime of love turns into regret
Heartache, resentment, broken dreams
A song of fireworks dances and finally disperses
Sleeping on an empty pillow with a curtain of lovesickness
Leaning against the window and crying at the moon
Asking from a distance where the beauty is worried
The truth is endless and the heart is filled with sadness
I want to invite the bright moon to send my thoughts
Tears of love at the end of the world
The road is far away and I don’t know where the hero is now
But I saw the flowers flying all over the sky
A song of fireworks dances and finally disperses
…”
It's as sweet as the gurgling water in the mountains, like the ethereal natural sounds of the earth, like the long sigh of a beautiful woman's tears at night... There are also hidden unknown sorrows and water-like sadness...
Before the song ended, Sima Rui had already stood up eagerly: "Move to Luoshuang Palace."
