Li Siye was stunned for a moment, thinking to himself, is his reputation already so great?
He knew that there were various nobles with hidden identities in the Liyuan, including the princesses of the Li family, the princesses, and the princes. One of the characteristics of these people was that they loved music. Of course, there were also people who played tricks just to get close to the emperor. He heard that An Lushan
When he returned to Beijing to express his merits, he would also go to the opera garden and perform a comedy-drama about joining the army. Being able to obtain such a title as a military commander in the opera garden is something that many people can only dream of.
He immediately crossed his arms and saluted the two more powerful and beautiful ladies: "The humble one is Li Siye."
They came closer. In order not to make him feel oppressed, Li Siye quickly got down from the pavilion and saw their appearance clearly.
The plain white undergarment worn by the woman in plain clothes outlines the pattern of imperial flowers, and underneath is a splendid stacked gauze skirt. Although the top and bottom are all white, the tones and layers are mottled and distinct. She has a cloud bun on top of her head, arranged in rows.
There are six hairpins on the cross, like the edges of clouds dyed yellow by the bright sun. Her chin is slightly pointed, her eyebrows are long and narrow, and the bridge of her nose is delicate. Her stunning look at that moment is slightly more than that of Yang Yuhuan. Maybe as time goes by, Yang Yuhuan will look more and more.
The more flavorful it is.
The woman next to her didn't look like a palace maid, because her appearance and figure were similar to those of the plain-clothed woman. The grass-green pleated skirt was worn on her body, which highlighted her slender waist and plump upper body.
She exudes a smart temperament that is far superior to other women.
The woman in green caught his gaze and immediately frowned and hit back: "How dare you, why don't you bow to Concubine Mei when you see her!"
It turns out to be Mei Fei Jiang Caiping, she should be her. With such a face, she can indeed be on par with Yang Yuhuan. However, she probably lost in temperament, slightly lacking the dignity and femininity of Yang Yuhuan, a lady.
Thinking about it this way, Li Longji is really an old scumbag pervert. He already has two such beautiful women by his side, and he can still dream about dancing with Chang'e in the Moon Palace. Do you think the person next to you is not up to your taste?
?
Li Siye bent down at ninety degrees and crossed his hands: "Your Majesty Li Siye pays homage to Concubine Mei."
Mei Fei nodded lightly and said: "I heard that Wu Sanlang likes shuffling dance the most. Even Yang Yuhuan has learned it. Mr. Li, can you teach it to me?"
I feel uncomfortable with the title of Mr. Li. Didn’t Concubine Mei see that I am a martial artist with broad shoulders and a strong body? Being called Mr. by a martial artist with a knife-head that licks blood, does it feel a bit like a beast in clothes?
"I obey."
Mei Fei turned to the woman in green next to her and said, "Aman, don't you also want to learn?"
Ah Man denied it flatly: "Who said I should learn it? Why should I learn it? My Limbo Dance is enough for me."
Li Siye guessed who the woman in green was. She was Xie Aman, another music camp general in the Liyuan. She was in charge of the dancing girls who established the department. Based on the characteristics of friends who work together, she should be hostile and resentful towards him.
.
He immediately crossed his arms and said to Xie Aman: "Ms. Xie is right, your Limbo dance is unique in the world. Why should you learn some other foreign dances that are unorthodox, which will make the Limbo dance nondescript."
Xie Aman lowered his eyebrows. He would naturally become suspicious if his attack did not receive any feedback. He pursed his lips and said, "Do you really think so?"
"That's for sure. Madam Xie created her own Lingbo dance. As an outsider, I really admire you."
Concubine Mei coughed politely and gracefully, reminding Li Siye that he was off topic, and he quickly returned to the topic: "Concubine Mei, I have been in the pear garden in the past few days. If you want to learn, you can summon me at any time.
"
The Concubine Mei said coldly: "No need, I have brought painters today. Just dance the shuffle dance completely in front of them, and they will draw all the movements."
"Here."
In just a few words, Li Siye understood the temperament of this Concubine Mei. She was aloof and cold, just like her title. Like wintersweet in the snow, Ling Han bloomed alone. She admired her beauty from a distance but could not play with it.
Compared with Yang Yuhuan's gentleness and pleasantness, the beauty of the peony and the fragrant beauty of the country, her iceberg beauty character was ultimately not flattering in front of the emperor.
He followed them and came to a side hall of the pear garden. There were several plum blossoms planted here. There were few people and it looked deserted, which was quite in line with the temperament of Concubine Mei.
Six painters were sitting around the hall, with ink tubes in their hands and bright eyes, waiting for Li Siye to dance.
Dancing in the palace seemed to be only the first and countless times, and he no longer felt disobedient and embarrassed, even in front of everyone, he swung his arms and danced.
As soon as he finished his first dance, the painters waved their hands and said, "Li Zhongcheng, you are jumping too fast, can you slow down?"
Li Siye slowed down a little, but these people still shook their heads. He had to break down the dance into silhouette movements. In the end, his legs were numb from dancing, so the painters painted all the movements on paper.
.
Concubine Mei and Xie Aman sat cross-legged next to each other, holding a hand-warming copper stove in their hands and looking distantly. Then Concubine Mei yawned and said, "I almost remember it." Aman also nodded solemnly and said:
"I seem to have learned a little bit."
The two ladies stood on the wooden floor and began to slide around. When Li Siye had some free time, he sat aside and gave instructions. Even if they made any mistakes in using their legs, he could only stand and demonstrate, but he could not use his hands.
It is a great pity to give advice.
Although the social atmosphere in the Tang Dynasty was open, it was still dominated by etiquette and law. It was well known that the relationship between men and women was not clear. What's more, the woman opposite was the emperor Li Longji. If she was not careful, she might be accused of deceiving the emperor.
Concubine Mei summoned the painter and the eunuchs and maids in the palace to leave. Xie Aman and Li Siye crossed their arms to send her off in person. They waited until Concubine Mei disappeared at the end of the street before turning back. Aman asked him suspiciously: "I heard
Others say that you can neither play the flute or the pipa, nor can you compose music, nor can you create a dance. You only know this dance that you learned somewhere."
Li Siye almost nodded, but the position of General Leying was extremely beneficial to him. It was the only possibility of contacting the emperor in the future, so the artist had to continue pretending.
"Of course I don't know how to play these instruments, but I can play the suona and compose music."
"Suona? What is this suona?"
He rubbed his head in embarrassment. There was indeed a suona instrument among the countries in West Central Asia from Shule Town, but it looked big and bulky, which was very different from the modern suona. The music was also very monotonous, and it was far from perfect.
When it reaches the level of a rogue musical instrument, it can at most be considered a chant.
But once the lie is spoken, it must be finished in tears: "This is another musical instrument from the Western Regions, with a clear and powerful sound."
Xie Aman said happily: "The saint will be happy to be able to add a new musical art to the Liyuan. When you return to Chang'an from Beiting, you must bring this suona back."
Li Siye nodded guiltily, fearing that she would mention this immature Suona in front of the saint, so he quickly pulled her into a corner, making Ah Man's cheeks turn red and his nose wrinkled in annoyance: "What do you want to do?"
"Aman, I have something to ask you. I hope you can promise me. Can you not tell me about Suona? When I bring Suona to Beijing in the future, I want to give the saint and the empress a surprise. You
What do you think?"
Xie Aman glanced at him coldly and hummed: "I have forgotten that you are just a person in the officialdom. What you people are best at is flattering others."
Li Siye was speechless. In front of these noble musicians and artists, people like him were full of copper stench.
When they came out of the corner, Yuan Siyi, the eunuch of Concubine Yang's palace, came to the Liyuan and was looking for Li Siye everywhere. When she saw him, she quickly crossed her hands and said, "Li Zhongcheng, Concubine Yang has asked you to go to Xingqing Palace to see her."
