Xiaoyao Xiaojunhou

Chapter 422 422. Yushu
time flies.

Suddenly, it is the last day of the "Winter Solstice Golden Week".

This morning, Zhu Xiuyuan got up, washed up, and prepared to leave the city as usual and go to the Divine Thunder Army camp ten miles outside the city.

After so many days, the camp was actually completed late yesterday.

Zhou Dong, who was stationed there to supervise the work, once sent someone to say that the camp was well built and fully met Zhu Xiuyuan's requirements...

It is better to read it yourself than to hear it said a thousand times by others.

So today, Zhu Xiuyuan is going to "check and accept" it in person.

Take the opportunity to inspect Shenleifang.

After many days of trial operation, Shenleifang has no problems and has been officially put into operation in the past two days, building new weapons in large quantities.

Such as firecrackers, fire oil tanks, thunder and so on.

Outside the gate of the uncle's mansion.

Zhu Xiuyuan had just got on his horse and was about to set off when suddenly an old eunuch appeared from the side and led a group of young eunuchs, smiling.

"Eunuch Liu!"

Zhu Xiuyuan immediately turned over and dismounted, took two steps to meet him, and bowed his hands.

"Uncle, our family is here again, haha... Uncle, are you getting ready to go out?"

Eunuch Liu was shaking a whisk in his hand, with a smile on his face. The three words "here he came again" in his words showed that he often came to Zhu Xiuyuan.

"Eunuch Liu has arrived. Could it be that His Majesty summoned him?" Zhu Xiuyuan guessed.

We are all "old friends". In the past few days, Emperor Chen summoned him and sent this Eunuch Liu to pass on the oral instructions.

"Well..." Eunuch Liu suddenly stood tall and said loudly: "Your Majesty ordered: Summon Uncle Jiangcheng to the palace immediately for an audience!"

After reciting the oral instructions, Eunuch Liu's tall figure suddenly dwindled, and a smile appeared on his face again, "Uncle, you can't go far away. Your Majesty has summoned you. Please come with us to the palace!"

"I obey the imperial edict!" Zhu Xiuyuan raised his hands to the sky, boarded Eunuch Liu's chariot, and prepared to enter the palace.On the way, he asked in a casual conversational tone: "Eunuch Liu, why is your Majesty summoning you this time?"

"Uncle, don't worry!" Eunuch Liu shook his fly whisk, with a smile on his face. "Recently, the imperial concubine made a new dance, and your majesty admired it very much. He also said: There is no other person who can do this wonderful dance except me. Besides, the only person who can still appreciate it is Zhu Aiqing..."

Zhu Xiuyuan's face was expressionless.

As he expected, Emperor Chen summoned him again to attend a banquet to enjoy singing and dancing...

Recently, although Chen Huang has become interested in new weapons, there are faint signs of taking over the government...

However, he still indulged in singing and dancing, and had fun as much as he wanted.

"Oh, but I don't know what kind of dance the imperial concubine has choreographed? It can actually make your majesty appreciate it so much!"

In line with the principle of chatting nonsense, Zhu Xiuyuan asked casually.

"This dance is really wonderful. Our family was lucky to have seen a short part... Tsk tsk, the imperial concubine is extremely talented, and I am afraid that she is the only one who can compose such a wonderful dance... This dance is called 'Yushu Backyard Flower'!" Liu said. The father-in-law laughed.

Yushu backyard flower? !

Zhu Xiuyuan sat on Eunuch Liu's chariot and almost fell down.

The jade trees and flowers in the backyard are the sound of a country being destroyed...

"Uncle? What are you..." Eunuch Liu was startled. If something went wrong with Zhu Xiuyuan on the way to the palace, he couldn't bear the consequences.

"It's okay, it's okay, I just... felt your Majesty's love, and my heart was agitated, so I lost my composure for a moment..."

Zhu Xiuyuan waved his hands, but he was complaining crazily in his heart.

According to the original historical trajectory, this "Back Garden Flower" was originally a love song in Yuefu folk songs.

Later, Chen Shubao, the empress of the Southern Dynasty, wrote the lyrics, and Zhang Lihua, the imperial concubine, composed the music and choreographed it, creating the song "Flowers in the Backyard of Yushu", which is the sound of the country's subjugation.

Unexpectedly, the current imperial concubine You Lihua also composed a dance song called "Yushu Backyard Flower"...

In fact, the current Chen Dynasty is quite similar to the historical Chen Dynasty in the Southern Dynasties. Even the "Yushu Backyard Flower" in the voice of the country's subjugation has appeared...

When Eunuch Liu saw that Zhu Xiuyuan was fine, he breathed a sigh of relief.

On the chariot, he chatted with Zhu Xiuyuan and rushed all the way to Chengtian Gate at the root of the Imperial City.

The two got off the bus and walked, entering Chengtian Gate, passing Duanmen, entering Meridian Gate, and entered the Forbidden City.

After entering the Meridian Gate, Eunuch Liu led Zhu Xiuyuan along a corridor on the side, then passed through Fengtian Gate, passed through Wenzhao Pavilion, and then passed through the three main halls of Fengtian, Huagai and Jinshen, entered Qianqing Gate, passed Qianqing, Jiaotai, and The three major palaces of Kunning and Qin'an came to Qin'an Palace.

Qin'an Hall was where Emperor Chen and Concubine You played their daily games.

As a foreign minister, Zhu Xiuyuan was the first to set foot in this palace!

It can also be seen from this that although Chen Huang was dim and indulged in singing and dancing, he really valued Zhu Xiuyuan.

"My lord, I greet your majesty, and my concubine!"

In the main hall of Qin'an Hall, Zhu Xiuyuan watched Emperor Chen and Concubine You, performing the courtesy of a monarch and his ministers.

"Aiqing, please come back quickly, haha, Aiqing is finally here, please give me a seat!" Chen Huang's excited voice came from above. "I thank your Majesty!"

When Zhu Xiuyuan stood up and took his seat, he quietly glanced up.

I saw that Chen Huang was wearing casual clothes, and his face looked a little older, sallow and dull.

Although the beard, hair, etc. were carefully taken care of, they could not hide the look of being hollowed out by wine and sex.

But now, Chen Huang's interest is indeed very high, with an excited smile on his face and a strange excitement.

This is like the flame of a raging fire cooking oil, vague and red, but... it seems to be the "lamp oil" burning life...

Contrary to Emperor Chen, Concubine You was radiant.

Although she is over thirty years old, she seems to be a peach that has been nourished by infinite essence. Overall she looks like she is in her 20s. Every frown and every smile has the charm of a young woman in a flowerbed...

As the saying goes, flowers are blooming and beautiful, which happens to be the period of maturity and fragrance. Compared with the little girl in her teens, Concubine You has a different kind of charm.

"Aiqing, the noble concubine has composed a new dance piece today, called 'Yushu backyard flower', this dance composition is composed by the concubine Ai, but the words are written by me..."

"Haha, this 'Yushu Backyard Flower' is a collaboration between me and my beloved concubine. It is also the best dance song we have collaborated on in these years!"

Chen Huang laughed heartily and seemed quite pleased with himself.

Concubine You was also smiling, but she didn't speak.

"Your Majesty and the Imperial Concubine are the couple of gods and immortals in the world. I believe that the dance music jointly produced by Your Majesty and the Imperial Concubine will shock the world and be unique in the past and present! Like a bright pearl, it will illuminate the present and shine to future generations!" Zhu Xiuyuan got up and bowed.

This "Flower in the Backyard of the Yushu" has indeed "glorified future generations", but only as the voice of a subjugated country.

"Hahaha..." After hearing Zhu Xiuyuan's words, Chen Huang laughed even louder, which shook the entire hall.

"Ai Qing said it well. I am very satisfied with this dance music of 'Flowers in the Backyard of Yushu'." Emperor Chen said with a smile again.

"Your Majesty, Zhu Aiqing can be regarded as our bosom friend and the only audience for this dance music!" Concubine You also laughed.

"Then thank you for your hard work, my beloved concubine. Let's dance again for this only audience!" Chen Huang said.

Concubine You nodded, then exited Qin'an Palace and went back to change clothes.

Zhu Xiuyuan was so frightened that he asked the imperial concubine to dance for him, which was really shocking.

"Hey, eh, dear, don't be afraid. I summoned you today just for this new dance. You can just enjoy it with peace of mind, haha..."

Seeing this, Zhu Xiuyuan returned to his seat and sat down, chatting with Emperor Chen and waiting for the song and dance to begin.

About half an hour later.

The singing and dancing begins.

Concubine You, wearing a dance costume, was really stunning...

That dancing posture, that expression, that makeup, that figure, they are all top-notch.

In addition to being beautiful, the music is also great.

Sometimes it is magnificent and has the atmosphere of a prosperous age.Sometimes it's lingering and graceful, like falling flowers and flowing water, like a beauty in a boudoir...

In addition, the lyrics of "Flowers in the Backyard of Yushu" are also good. Although it is a palace poem, it is also unique.

Just listen to the song:

"Liyu Fanglin is facing Gaoge, the new makeup is beautiful and the quality is alluring.

Ying Hu Ningjiao did not enter at first, and greeted with a smile when she left the curtain.

The face of the enchantress is like a flower with dew, and the jade tree flows into the backyard.

The flowers bloom and fall for a short time, and the ground falls red and returns to silence. "

In general, this is really an audio-visual feast, rare in ancient and modern times.

No wonder Chen Huang, who has indulged in singing and dancing for more than ten years, also admires it highly.

But Zhu Xiuyuan was different. Although he felt amazed, at least he wouldn't be completely obsessed with it.

Although this dancer is beautiful, especially Concubine You, she is a noble concubine of a country... so this dancer alone can touch the string deep in people's hearts.

However, Zhu Xiuyuan has been tested by the "Kou Goblin" for a long time.

The figure, appearance, and temperament of the Kou Fairy are not inferior to those of Concubine You. She is also known as "the best singer and dancer in the world", and her dancing skills are naturally not bad either.

Furthermore, the identity of the demon Kou...is that of the princess of the old Guizhou Kingdom, which is considered to be on par with Concubine You.

Let's talk about music. Although the music of "Yushu Backyard Flower" is wonderful, what genre and style of music has Zhu Xiuyuan not heard of?

Finally, there is the libretto. This poem is indeed well written, but throughout history, this poem is not the brightest among them...
