The slave family is not a disaster

Chapter 282
Everyone watched Chen Shuyuan's dancing posture seriously, the audience was quiet, only the sound of rhythm, the emperor squinted his eyes and found that Chenxi's dancing posture was still very good, he could be called an expert.

The Empress Dowager's complexion changed again and again, it was very complicated, and no one could see the clue...

After dancing to a song, there was thunderous applause, and Chen Xi knelt down to thank her: "Dancing to a song, it's a shame, please don't blame the empress dowager and the emperor."

"Chen Xi, what is your dance...?" The queen mother seemed to be interested in this dance.

"Back to the Empress Dowager, the dance of the concubines is called Colorful Neon. To be honest, it is adapted from the dance that the Empress Dowager once performed - Caixia Zhilian. I hope that the Empress Dowager will not blame her." Chen Xi's voice was very soft, But everyone can hear clearly.

"No wonder Aijia looks familiar, but no one has danced this dance for many years, how do you know?" The queen mother seemed to be in a good mood.

"As far as the Empress Dowager is concerned, the master my concubine invited to teach the dance was the court lady who once danced for the Empress Dowager. Later, she left the palace and returned to her hometown to open a dance studio. She taught this dance." Chen Xi replied.

Everyone was in an uproar...

It turned out that the Empress Dowager danced this dance before, but Chen Xi is a little too bold, isn't she afraid that the Empress Dowager will be angry?

The emperor turned sideways and said with a smile: "Queen, do you still know how to dance? I never knew about it, and I never saw you dance once."

The Empress Dowager smiled peacefully: "When Aijia was young, she was just a beauty. Later, it was such a festival of lights. Aijia had the honor to choreograph a dance and dedicated it to the late emperor. At that time, the late emperor conferred Aijia as a noble concubine. That was also mourning." It was the first time that the family was in the harem, and then...?"

When the queen mother said this, her eyes were a little complicated, and she hesitated to speak...

"What happened later? Mother Queen?" The emperor seemed to be more interested in this period of history and chased after him.

"Later when the Ai family had you, they didn't dance very much. After giving birth to you, they were canonized as a noble concubine. At that time, they had to deal with a lot of chores in the harem, so there was no leisure for dancing." The queen mother said slowly.

"Hehe, it seems that I ruined a genius who has a peerless dance." The emperor said half-jokingly.

Everyone laughed too, but no one knew that what the Queen Mother actually wanted to say was that later... your father had a nobleman, that woman stole the late emperor's heart and possessed all his favors.

But it's enough to think about it in your heart, she really can't say it...

After all, Jue Nishinomiya is still sitting under the stage...

"It turns out that there is such an allusion to the queen mother's dancing posture, and the concubine has benefited a lot." Chen Xi knelt on the ground and said humbly.

"Chen Xi, your dance arrangement is pretty good, and it's very reminiscent of the time when you mourned your family. Come here, give Chen Shuyuan a neon dance dress." The Queen Mother ordered.

Chen Xi immediately kowtowed in surprise and thanked her: "My concubine, I would like to thank the empress dowager for her love."

The Queen Mother's reward undoubtedly made Chen Shuyuan's face even more radiant. She was afraid that she had already prepared for today's dance.

She was smarter than those who died before, because she knew how to use an allusion to evoke the Queen Mother's memory and win the Queen Mother's heart.

Concubine Ning sat aside, feeling very uncomfortable, with a trace of jealousy in her eyes. Some people once said that her dancing posture is the most beautiful, but time has passed, and no one of you remembers that Concubine Ning, who is versatile, is now just a concubine who has fallen out of favor. .

The empress dislikes concubines taking the top spot the most. She can't tolerate someone who is so bold as Chen Xi, because Shen Bilan thinks clearly that if a concubine enters the palace and competes with her for favor, then it will not be a role that is easy to deal with in the future.

So, the queen said, "Sister Chen Shuyuan, your name also has the word Xi, what a coincidence, the late emperor had a favorite concubine, named Xigui, right? Empress mother?"

Knowing that the Empress Dowager hates nobleman Xi to the bone, but she wants to mention it, Shen Bilan is really courageous.

"That's right, Mrs. Xi...is the biological mother of King Rui'an." The Queen Mother said with a glance at Xi Gongjue.

Chen Xi's complexion changed drastically immediately, and she said tremblingly: "I really don't know, I will change my name immediately when I go back today, and I shouldn't offend Mrs. Xi."

"No, my concubine's mother and concubine are not the same word as your Xi, so you don't have to panic." In contrast, Xi Gongjue seemed very calm.

"Yeah, since King Rui'an has spoken, you don't have to mind, let's go down." The queen mother did not have anything to embarrass Chen Xi, it was because Jue Xigong gave her a step down.

Who is Xi Gongjue, how could he argue with the Queen Mother over such a trivial matter? Shen Bilan, she said this deliberately, just to destroy Chen Shuyuan's prestige, but unfortunately, she used the wrong person.

Not everyone can mention Mrs. Xi, Shen Bilan looked down the stage and saw Xi Gongjue's sharp eyes, so naturally she didn't dare to continue messing around.

"I'm so happy today, why don't you all play a game." The emperor seemed to be in a good mood, and changed the embarrassing topic of Mr. Xi.

"Okay, Brother Huang, it's rare that you have such a good mood? Tell me, how do you play?" When talking about things to play, Xi Gongjin's eyes naturally lit up.

"Well, let's compare literary talents. Let's divide into two groups, and then recite a poem under the title of the two groups. Queen Mother, you and I will judge together, okay?" The emperor turned to look at the queen mother.

"Okay, the Ai family will also join in the fun." The queen mother seemed to be aroused.

"Then our group will consist of five of you, Lan'er, Lingshan, An Yao, Yu'er, and Xi'er, and the other group will have Jue, Anran, Mo, Bixuan, and Jin. , is this arrangement satisfactory?" The emperor raised his head and asked after finishing the arrangement.

"The courtiers (concubines) obey the emperor's arrangements." Everyone's slogans were in unison.

"Okay, since everyone agrees, let's start with our side first. Since it is the Lantern Festival, people in this group will recite poems with lights as the theme, as long as there are lights in the poems, or lights are implied. .” The emperor said the rules.

Shen Bilan smiled slightly: "Okay, what's the difficulty? Ben Gong will lead the way first."

Then Shen Bilan blurted out and chanted: "A little bit is worth ten thousand gold, but I'm afraid of the cold wind when I open it. If the master is also diligent in provoking, dare to show your respect."

As soon as Shen Bilan finished speaking, everyone clapped their hands and applauded. The emperor nodded slightly and praised: "Lan'er's "Song of the Lantern" is very good. Although there is no light in the poem, the light is implied. It is really a masterpiece."

Shen Bilan smiled modestly: "It's not the concubine's credit either, it's just the finished product of the ancients, use it as a reference, and show your shame."

"Who will come next?" The emperor looked at the other concubines gently.

The emperor had just finished reciting the poem, so naturally he had to come according to the rank, so Chen Shuyuan said, "I think it's not as good as sister Wang Guifei?"

Although Concubine Ning is also a noble concubine, she has not been in the palace for as long as Wang Yu, so according to the ranks, it is naturally Wang Guifei's turn.

Seeing this, Wang Yu didn't try to shirk it, even if it was difficult to recite poems, so he said, "I will shine on the blue window alone for a long time, and I want to die with the cold ashes. Youren will fall asleep quickly, untie the belt and turn it into a knot. "

After Wang Guifei finished reading the poem, the whole audience was silent, and the emperor laughed dryly: "Yu'er, your poem is not bad, but the mood is so sad. The Lantern Festival is a festive day, so don't be so sad in the future."

"Yes, my concubine would like to follow the instructions of the emperor." Wang Guifei sighed politely.

Indeed, after holding back in Qixia Palace for a long time, I was in a bad mood, and even the poems I blurted out were so sad.

"Lingshan, you have a song too." The emperor turned his head to look at Ning Lingshan on the right and said with a smile.

"Yes, the concubine is not welcome. There are no cars and horses in Luoyang day and night, and red gauze is hung all over the trees. It is said that in the shadow of the lights, Xuanzong's late companion is really swimming."

After reading this poem, Concubine Ning glanced at the emperor resentfully. Since the death of the little prince, the emperor seemed to have neglected Concubine Ning, and her status in the harem had plummeted, so she wanted to use this poem to remind the emperor that their past love.

But talking about love with an emperor is too ridiculous. There are three thousand beauties in the harem, but there is only one emperor. He can fall in love with different women. If you talk about long-term love with him, what is it if it is not a joke?
The emperor knew that Concubine Yang and Tang Xuanzong were mentioned in Concubine Ning's poem, no doubt reminding himself of the relationship between husband and wife in the past, but he is powerless at the moment, it is not his intention not to see Concubine Ning, that is the Queen Mother He couldn't violate his filial piety, so he could only pretend that he couldn't hear it.

Instead, he praised softly: "Lingshan's poems are also good, next one, An Yao, come on."

Concubine Ning was very heartbroken seeing the emperor's understatement. She didn't believe that the emperor couldn't hear her subtext, so how could she ignore it?
So he got up and wanted to go forward, but Yila was held back by the concubine Wang beside him: "Sister Ning, today is different, you should think twice before acting."

Concubine Ning looked around, and found that this occasion was indeed not the time to be coquettish or complain, so she sat down in a daze, and said softly, "Thank you, Sister Wang Guifei, for your reminder."

Ye Anyao's lower abdomen has no obvious marks yet, because the fetus is still young, but her status is also soaring day by day, even Shen Bilan wants to give her three points. Ye Anyao usually doesn't like to play tricks, but that doesn't mean she can't. Not bad, so why not show your hand?

Ye Anyao read with a smile: "10 people's homes are lit by candlelight, and red makeup is seen at the door. Songs and bells make the night even darker, and Luo Qi fills the streets with dust and fragrance. The stars don't come out from the sky, and the lotus does not bloom in the water. Baochai suddenly horses So lost, the Ming Dynasty is still by the road."

After reading Ye Anyao's poem, as expected, there was another thunderous applause...

"Should I be so exaggerated? My sister's poems, I feel average, not so amazing, why are these people not calm at all?" Ye Anran was a little speechless.

"They didn't applaud because of your sister's poems. It's because she has a noble status and is pregnant with a dragon's womb, so those people are applauding." Xi Gongjue said with a smile.

"I don't understand, sister, what does it have to do with the dragon fetus if she reads poems well or badly?" Ye Anran was shocked again.
