Chapter 439 Dancing in the Lake
The accompanying officials stood up and said: "Your Majesty, Concubine Rou is right. This lonely mountain in Hangzhou has a special location. The plum blossoms bloom late and wither late. Now there are still late plum blossoms to be found."

Concubine Chun sighed: "Plum blossoms and snowflakes exist almost at the same time. In March, the south is generally warm. It may not be easy to find late-blooming winter plum blossoms. I don't know who has such a thought."

When everyone looked at the fluttering white plums, they were all curious.

I don't know when, a black boat appeared in the center of the lake overnight, and a woman in red stood on the boat, holding a blooming red plum in her hand, dancing to the sound of silk and bamboo orchestras.

The blood-red red dress is embroidered with silver-threaded plum blossoms and covered with silver-threaded rice beads. With a slight swing of the body, countless silver lights flow in it, like a galaxy lingering all over the body, reflecting her picturesque eyes, Gu Pansheng Hui, extremely beautiful.

And because she was driving in the lake in a black boat, she automatically merged with the vast night and ceased to exist. From a distance, she looked like a fairy in red dancing in the sky in the lake, which is really beautiful.

Wanbi lived at the end, closest to the center of the lake, and she recognized it at a glance, and exclaimed in a low voice, "This...isn't this nobleman Huo?"

That's right, the one dancing in red is none other than Huo Noble Wei Yanwan.

Many people may be surprised, isn't Huo nobleman the emperor's concubine?How dare she wear a red dress?

Speaking of this, we have to mention the taboo on color.

Red, purple, white and yellow were the four most popular and taboo colors in feudal times.

Red is for joy, which means happiness and auspiciousness, and white for mourning, which represents death and auspiciousness, so red is worn for weddings and white for funerals.

Purple is considered the color of nobility, the emperor is the Ziwei star in the sky, purple is noble, and the imperial palace is called the Forbidden City, so officials cannot wear all purple official uniforms, otherwise it is a crime of usurpation.

As for yellow, let alone.

In common people's perception, yellow represents the royal family, and bright yellow dragon robes can only be worn by emperors.

However, nothing is absolute, and there is another kind of person who can wear a dragon robe without committing the crime of treason, and this is an opera singer.

When an actor sings an opera, it is inevitable to play the role of the emperor, and to play the emperor must wear a dragon robe. Otherwise, the audience in the audience will not know that this is the emperor, so the actor can wear the dragon robe.

The difference is that the actor's dragon robe cannot be made of silk, and the golden dragon on the embroidery cannot use five claws, one claw must be automatically removed to show respect.

In the same way, under special circumstances, concubines can also wear Zhenghong, that is, playing singers and dancers.

Because singers and dancers sing and dance in front of people, they are usually at festive banquets. Since it is a festive banquet, of course they must wear red, otherwise if you wear white clothes, isn't that just to add bad luck?

Since ancient times, whether it is singing or dancing, it has been regarded as a low-level industry and cannot be on the stage. Therefore, the superiors have no restrictions on the color of their clothing and can wear whatever they want.

At this moment, nobleman Huo, even though he is the emperor's concubine, is doing music and dance, so it's no problem for a dancer to wear red.

Concubine Jia heard Wanbi's exclamation, took a closer look, and then sneered: "Oh, tonight is really boring, it's either singing or dancing. Anything else, making yourself look like a kabuki all day long, demeaning yourself, it's really no fun."
