Harem Changwu Biography

Chapter 17
After Shenshi is Youshi, all the civil and military officials and family members who were invited were almost all there.

I saw that it was getting late, so I also got up and went to the Cold Food Hall.

Qi He and An Fulai walked behind me and went with me, one of them was carrying the palace lantern, the other was supporting me.

The days in winter are short, and the sky gets darker after You hour.

But tonight, palace lanterns are hung everywhere in the palace, and the lights are reflected from various exquisite lanterns, illuminating the whole palace as brightly as day, and the scenery and things on the road are clearly illuminated.

The Changwu Hall is a bit far from the Hanshi Hall. He, An Fulai and I walked for more than half a quarter of an hour to arrive.

As a palace for banqueting officials, the Hanshi Hall is more ornately decorated than the palace, and musicians and actors were sent to play in the hall to welcome officials early in the morning.

When the three of us, He An Fulai and I, were walking outside the Hall of Cold Food, we met Ming Qi who was also coming.

I saw that Mingqi was wearing a purple costume today, with a five-clawed golden dragon embroidered on his chest, shining brightly even at night, and the two longan eyes were even more lifelike.

Ming Qi was already handsome, but wearing this fine attire added a lot of majesty to him, but it also set off his slender body to make his figure even more upright. Suddenly, I felt that the young man in front of me was like a painting.

When I saw Mingqi, Mingqi also saw me. He stepped forward and bowed to me: "I have seen my mother."

"Flat body."

Then the two entered the Cold Food Hall together.

It was getting late at this time, and all the officials and family members of the DPRK and China who were supposed to come had arrived, and in Anfu came a cry, "The emperor is here!"The Queen Mother is here! ’ Afterwards, those officials and family members who were still chatting in twos and threes in the palace looked at me and Mingqi together, and then saluted loudly together: "Wei Chen (women) join the emperor, join the queen mother. All blessings, the emperor, and Jin An, the queen mother." .”

This year's dinner was attended by family members, so in addition to the troupe and musicians that used to be used in previous years, a high platform was built in the courtyard for all the officials to showcase their talents.

Compared with previous years, this year's annual banquet was much more lively.

Han Yuting, Qi Xiayun and the other five are confirmed concubines to enter the palace, and today's talent show cannot be without them.

Han Yuting was born in the general family, and her marksmanship was so good that even the generals applauded; Zhang Shuyue played the song "Moon on the West River", which made all the officials intoxicated. However, the most outstanding of the five is Chang Ruo.

Today, Chang Ruo was still dressed in red. Apart from the bells around her waist, she also hung bells on her wrists and ankles. The night wind blew past her, making crisp sounds.

Chang Ruo has taken off her shoes and socks since she stepped on the stage. She stepped on the carpet of the stage with bare feet, holding two red ribbons nearly five meters long and finger-width in each hand.

There is no moon tonight, but the lanterns all over the palace light up the night.

The body is light and the ribbons are flying.

Chang Ruo danced under the light, and the swaying light cast a hazy halo around her, making her like a flower fairy who had fallen into the mortal world, beautiful, ethereal, dreamlike, so beautiful that people dare not disturb her.

Chang Ruo's Flying Dance became the biggest highlight of the evening, and it also made all the officials present understand why their young emperor refused to listen to the prime minister's advice and insisted on marrying Chang Ruo.

After today's night banquet, Chang Ruo's name should become a household name.
