The Emperor's Favorite: The Beauty Disturbs the World

Chapter 9
After nightfall, the Xingqing Palace is brilliantly lit!
Xuanzong Li Longji hosted a banquet in Huae Xianghui Building.And the name of this calyx is taken from the "Book of Songs", "The flower of Tangdi, Ebuweiwei, all people today are like brothers." It was originally built by Li Longji for his elder brother Ning Wang Li Xian, because Ning Wang Li Xian was the Tang Dynasty. The eldest son of Emperor Ruizong was supposed to ascend to the throne, but he saw that his third brother Li Longji was brave and good at fighting. The throne was given to his younger brother.After Li Longji ascended the throne, he was grateful for his elder brother's righteous deeds, and built this Huae Xianghui Building specially for their brothers in Xingqing Palace, symbolizing their deep brotherhood.

Opposite the West Street of Huae Xianghui Building are Anxingfang and Shengyefang, and the new houses of Ning Wang Lixian, Qi Wang Lifan, and Xue Wang Liye are built in these two workshops. The four brothers can meet each other from time to time and compare music skills. carefree!
In today's banquet, not only the three kings will be present, but also ministers from various government houses, roads, platforms, and temples in the imperial court and a group of wives will also come here to congratulate!So that from Xuanwu Gate to Longchi to Huae Xianghui Building, all the trees on both sides of the corridor were decorated with colorful lights, and the Great Music Department and the Advocacy Department assigned hundreds of musicians to play music.The dancers of the Jiaofang Division were placed on the platform in front of the Huae Building, performing dances and dances to entertain the guests.

But there are thin singing pipes everywhere, dancing sleeves twitching, and a big drum with a width of two feet and a height of one foot has already been erected on the platform. Meier led a few sisters with excellent dancing skills from the teaching workshop to beat the drums and sing on it, boom... boom …Accompanied by the beautiful rhythm, where more than a dozen girls flicked their sleeves, flowers fell one after another, attracting bursts of fragrance.Accompanied by dozens of musical instruments such as pipa, konghou, chimes, and Qiangguan, hundreds of female musicians sang in unison:

The calyx terrace rains new,
Taiping people in Chang'an city,
Long Street is full of fiery trees and thousands of lights,
Long live the spring of the chicken stepping on the lotus!
The singing is curling up, and it seems to be sent to the sky with the long wind.Chang Xi wore a bun on her head, and stood under the huge drum as a foil in a concubine red round neck and large sleeves.After coming to the Tang Palace for so long, she felt the prosperity and shock of the prosperous Tang Dynasty for the first time!Such a majestic aura was never seen in those decadent dynasties.

In front of my eyes, there are countless wives who are beautiful and beautiful, dressed in emerald greens, delicate red and tender green, passing by; Mud" atmosphere.

There may be Zhang Jiuling, Wang Wei, Meng Haoran, Wu Daozi, Zhang Xu, whom she has admired for a long time...the great poets and artists who exist like gods in these Chinese documents just pass by her eyes like this, what kind of kind is that? feeling!
A kind of heartfelt joy from admiration to experience, a transformation from turning a blind eye to the incomparable worship of Chinese civilization.Datang is really inclusive. Chang Xi saw many yellow-haired, blue-eyed foreigners talking and laughing, and what she hated the most—little Japanese devils?Hehe, as expected they were very frustrated back then, Chang Xi pouted.

"Hey! Prime Minister Zhang is here!" On the red carpet in front of the Huae Building, an official over [-] years old said to the bearded Zhang in front of him and bowed to the ground.

"Oh! So it's Lord Xiao! Nice to meet you! Nice to meet you!" Prime Minister Zhang replied with a smile.

Lord Xiao?Chang Xi, who was listening on the sidelines, frowned. Could it be Xiao Yu's father?
However, Lord Xiao said flatteringly: "The rain and dew in front of the Calyx Tower are fresh, and the people in Chang'an are peaceful. This poem written by Prime Minister Zhang is really the best in the past and present! It describes the grand occasion of the people in Chang'an City living and working in peace and contentment, and praying for my emperor's long live The ground is vivid!"

"Where, where." Prime Minister Zhang Shuo smiled and said, "Master Xiao is absurd! If my Zhang Shuo's writing power can describe one-tenth of the prosperous Tang Dynasty built by His Majesty, I will be very lucky! How can we talk about it?" It is the best in the past and the present."

Master Xiao said: "This statement is wrong. Although the Great Tang Dynasty was built by His Majesty, and Your Majesty is also a generation of holy masters from ancient times to the present, it still needs a towering pillar like Prime Minister Zhang to advise and advise the Great Tang Dynasty, otherwise there is no such thing as today. The prosperous age?"

"Ha-ha! Lord Xiao can really talk!" The high hats were thrown out, which really coaxed Prime Minister Zhang Shuo to feel complacent.

Chang Xi saw that the two of them were making fun of the numbness, and goose bumps all over his body.

Suddenly there was a commotion in the distance. The servant Jingdao had long shouted that the emperor and queen were coming, and the crowd avoided.

In the distance, I saw two people sitting on top of a treasured chariot with colorful glazed canopy and emerald curtains. The man among them was Li Longji. Showing the air of the emperor.Next to her was the Queen Wang, with a flying bun on her hair and a brocade gown with honey-colored finely sprinkled golden haws and peach patterns. With a reserved and dignified smile on her lips, she nodded frequently to the minister's wives under the car.

Behind her was the Empress Liu Hua, who was a concubine of the first rank, in the eight-treasure chariot with emerald green cover and pearl tassels.Followed by Yu Zhaoyi and Guo Shunyi of the second grade.In the Qixiang car that followed were Liu Jieyu, Gao Jieyu, and Guo Jieyu of the third rank, and the latter were Wang Meiren, Zhong Meiren, etc. of the fourth rank, and Liu Cairen and Zheng Cairen of the fifth rank. , Chen Cairen can only take an ordinary chariot.

The crowd on both sides of the road fell to their knees and shouted: "Long live Your Majesty!"

Chang Xi looked at Li Longji's concubines and concubines and couldn't help being speechless. He thought of Bai Juyi's "Song of Everlasting Regret" with "3000 beauties in the harem". Also get the year of the monkey!The more he thought about it, the worse it became, but he saw Prime Minister Zhang and Master Xiao in front of him had already lifted their silk and purple robes and knelt down on the ground, and he had no choice but to bow down along with them.

For a moment, the noisy front of the Huae Building fell silent, only the sound of three shouts of long live.

Li Longji helped the Queen's hand and stepped off the chariot with a smile: "This is a family banquet, there is no need to be formal!"

The crowd shouted again, and when the music sounded again, a group of ministers, wives, servants, and court ladies had already surrounded the emperor and empress and entered the Huae Tower.

From the beginning to the end, Li Longji's eyes never stopped on Chang Xi's face, and Chang Xi was slightly disappointed.It seems that his "Carmen" failed to capture Li Longji's heart, and he was just trying to enjoy it for a while. He has been acting affectionate in Yichun Garden these days.

While thinking about it, there were already a few crystal clear teardrops in the corners of his eyes.

"Why are you in tears every time I see you!" Chang Xi was greatly surprised by Xiao Yu's sudden appearance.

In order to prevent others from seeing, Chang Xi pulled him behind the shadow of the giant drum and asked, "Why are you here?"

Xiao Yu smiled and said: "Don't forget that I am a member of the Zuo Jinwu Guard! Naturally, I was ordered to protect His Majesty's safety here! Look, I still have a sword!" As he spoke, he pulled half of the sword out of its black scabbard , For a while, it was so cold that it hurt people's eyes.

"You!" Chang Xi hurriedly put the sword back into the scabbard and complained: "You man! Just talk about it, what to do with it, don't you want to die? Be careful that others will kill you as an assassin!"

"It doesn't matter!" Xiao Yu wiped the sweat off his face with his hands.

"Why do you sweat so much!" Chang Xi helplessly wiped the sweat off his head with a silk handkerchief, and sighed, "This is my last silk handkerchief!"

"Eh!" Xiao Yu scratched his head embarrassingly, and said, "Wait for me to buy you some good ones!"

"Okay! Xiao Yu, you don't do a good job of patrolling, and hook up with the little girl here! I'm going to sue you, the Commander of the Zuo Jinwu Guard!" A young servant ran over and grabbed Xiao Yu who was in the shadows.

　Thank you Aji for voting for me every day. I am very touched. I will update it around [-]:[-] tonight!Sorry for any inconvenience caused to you!
