Qing Palace Dream Like Smoke·Moyu

Chapter 50

During this mid-autumn festival, there were too many elder brothers Fujin staying in the palace, and the maids and eunuchs were all too busy.Mo Yu was also so busy that he didn't even have time to drink his saliva.The banquet was placed on the side of the big stage, and Mo Yu was drenched in sweat after running up and down the stairs a few times.After finally being free, I found a corner to rest for a while.Chunyun hurried over and said, "Sister, I've been looking for you everywhere, this girl Qiuyue suddenly said that she has a stomachache, and she's going to Ronghua soon, and you have to go and watch, otherwise there will be chaos." Mo Yu sighed in her heart With a deep breath, I stood up and went to the backstage of the stage. Qiuyue was originally responsible for making arrangements behind, so it seemed that I had to come by myself, and said to Chunyun while walking, do you remember the tune I taught?Chunyun nodded.Mo Yu said: You go play the zither.Chunyun let out an ah, and Mo Yu frowned and said, "Just play as usual, don't panic."

Backstage, Rong Hua was standing on a large prefabricated wooden turntable in a moon-white long gauze. Under the moon-white gauze was a slightly reddish shirt. Under the gauze, it was like the shadow of plum blossoms in the white mist. , magnificent.Mo Yu sincerely praised: "You are so beautiful."

Rong Hua was a little shy, Mo Yu smiled and said, "You don't go out until I clap your hands for the third time." At this time, the little eunuch in front came over and said, "Sister, it's time for Rong Hua." Mo Yu nodded, Walking to the side of the stage, lifted the curtain to look at the audience, clapped his hands lightly, and the music behind him began to play, and when the voices at the front stage gradually quieted down, Mo Yu clapped his hands a second time, looking at the audience Mo Yu knew that the effect was good. At this time, a round moon made of light gauze and lanterns should have risen on the balcony on the second floor, which complemented the full moon in the sky. The lantern on the balcony lit up. Nodding to the little eunuch on the other side, the little eunuch fanned the fan vigorously, blowing the steam from the pot to the stage, Mo Yu shook his head, the effect was not good, it would be better with dry ice, but unfortunately there is no such thing here, just Being able to make do with it like this, even so, the audience still let out a sound of exclamation.When Mo Yu clapped his hands for the third time, the small lanterns dimmed one by one, and the big lantern in the middle lit up. The surroundings of the lanterns were surrounded by long thick cloth curtains, forming a good spotlight effect. The little eunuchs turned the roulette, and in this beam of light, Chunyun sat and caressed the guzheng and slowly rose from the stage to the stage. When the raised round platform was a certain distance higher than the stage, Mo Yu signaled to the little eunuchs stop.As soon as the Chunyun zither sounded, another big lantern lit up in the shadow of the slanted side, and quietly rose up with another platform, standing quietly in the dark, Rong Hua in the moon-white gauze, appeared suddenly like a fairy in a dream. In front of the crowd, they were distracted by the appearance of Chunyun before, and suddenly saw another beautiful figure appearing on the other side, they couldn't help but exclaimed, Mo Yu saw it, and smiled triumphantly.

On the rising round platform, Rong Hua began to sing along with the music: "The candle shadows on the mica screen are deep, the long river gradually falls and the dawn stars sink. Chang'e should regret stealing the elixir, and the blue sea is blue and the sky is heart-warming every night." Mo Yu took out the purple bamboo Xiao, when the sound of Chunyun's zither fades away, and it begins to play gently, the audience is silent because of Rong Hua's singing. As if the cool moonlight was shining in front of the stage, the lantern above Ronghua's head was removed, and the light and shadow of a huge full moon appeared behind him. The blue bird is near, the evening is sunny, the wind is blowing through the toad, and the light is like washing, so I can't stay. Find a few old traces, the shadows of osmanthus are separated, and people are in the Crystal Palace. I remember last year tonight, the moon came and went in the clouds." In the light and shadow The beauty of singing and dancing is so beautiful that it makes people's hearts sway.Rong Hua's singing had stopped, Mo Yu hurriedly signaled the little eunuchs to continue playing, and then slowly turned the disc down.There was only silence in the audience, and there was no sound. Suddenly, someone applauded, and peeping, it turned out that it was Kangxi sitting on the second floor of the stand, and everyone in the audience applauded.Mo Yu let out a long breath, feeling relieved.But he saw a little eunuch coming from the side and said: "Sister, the emperor asked you and Miss Ronghua to come to me."

Mo Yu and Rong Hua agreed, went forward, and saluted before Kangxi's seat.Kangxi looked at the two people, smiled and said: "It seems that a lot of thought has been put into it. This surprising trick must be Mo Yu's idea?" He simply asked himself a question first, thinking in his heart: "He's speaking in a subtle way, it's better to say that he is preemptive." He pursed his lips and answered with a smile: "I am praised by the emperor."

Kangxi smiled and said: "The venue is well set up, the music is well drunk, and it is indeed 'people are in the Crystal Palace'." After finishing speaking, Rong Hua glanced at Rong Hua, who bowed his head and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

When Mo Yu heard Kangxi's words, she was slightly stunned, and suddenly thought of Thirteen and said, "I don't care about anything else, as long as your platform is set up, don't have another worry." She raised her head slightly, and saw Kangxi staring at him. Hua, eyes full of admiration, subconsciously glanced at the prince sitting on the side, with complicated eyes, a sneer at the corner of his mouth, and a chill in his heart for no reason.

When the Kunqu Opera started, she stood a little far away in the garden, a little uneasy, thinking about it seriously, but couldn't think of a clue.Then I heard someone next to me laughing and saying: "What are you doing hiding here?" Turning around and seeing Huizhu and Baozhi, they smiled and said: "I don't want to listen to the show anyway, and I don't need anyone to wait in front of the emperor now, and I am going back."

"The emperor and the empress are enjoying the wine, and you don't want to eat?" Moyu has never really drank since he was drunk with the Thirteenth Party. Hearing Huizhu's question, she shook her head with a smile and said, "I'm not feeling well. I can’t drink it.” Baozhi said with a smile, “That’s a waste, but it’s your favorite sweet rice wine.” After finishing speaking, he took out a small bottle from behind, “I specially left it for you.” Mo Yu smiled Go to pick it up: "Then I will be disrespectful."

"Isn't it uncomfortable to drink? How can I make it worse and make you more uncomfortable, so take it away." Baozhi retracted her hand.

Mo Yu said angrily: "You girl, you took it out to provoke me and then took it back. If you do this again, I'll go and tell Master Jiu about your crying on your birthday last time." Baozhi flushed all of a sudden. , turned to Huizhu and said: "Sister, look at her mouth, she is talking nonsense, you don't care about her."

Huizhu said with a smile: "Whoever told you to tease her, it's fine when you were a child, but now I can't control either of you two."

Baozhi had no choice but to hand the bottle to Mo Yu, and said bitterly: "You are unreasonable, you will be defeated by me sooner or later." Mo Yu took the bottle and said with a playful smile: "Thank you." Huizhu also laughed out loud.

Huizhu turned her head to look at the stage in the garden and said with a smile: "Is that amazing performance today your masterpiece?" Rong Hua smiled and said, "How did sister know?"

Huizhu turned her head to look at her, and smiled: "It's Li Yishan's poem, and a lot of irrelevant sentences are mixed together. Who can think of it except you?"

Baozhi smiled and said, "Sister Huizhu is saying that the ability to make up nonsense is better than you." Moyu gave her a blank look, and took a sip of the wine in the bottle as if in demonstration.Baozhi snorted and turned her head away.

Huizhu smiled and said, "Although the sentences are irrelevant, they sound different when put together. It's really good." Moyu was also pleased with her praise, and gave a mischievous salute and said, "Thank you sister for your compliment."

Huizhu looked at the front and said, "Let's go first. The empress can't be left alone all the time." Moyu nodded.

"Master Fourteen is auspicious." Huizhu and Baozhi walked a few steps and bowed to salute. It turned out that it was Fourteen who came here.Mo Yu also quickly saluted.Fourteen smiled and waved his hands and said, "No." After Huizhu and Baozhi left first, he walked up to Moyu and asked, "I've been depressed all night, what are you thinking about?"

"Where is it? I didn't think about it." Mo Yu smiled.

Fourteen turned his head to look at the other side of the stage, turned around and said with a smile: "Is it because I helped others to build a stage and let others show their faces, and I feel uncomfortable?"

Hearing what he said, Mo Yu felt unhappy for a while, and said coldly, "Is it the turn of a slave to say if you are comfortable or not?"

Fourteen didn't think it was disobedient, looked at her face and said with a smile: "At least it's back to its original shape."

Mo Yu was amused by his words, so she turned away.

Fourteen met and said: "Don't think too much, you can be happier." If you want to say more, I saw Brother Jiu and others looking over here from a distance, gestured for him to go, and said, "I'll go first. gone."

After walking a few steps, she turned around and said with a smile, "I'm still here for everything." Mo Yu's heart warmed up, and she smiled at him and nodded lightly.
