Chapter 10 Light body can dance on the palm of your hand

 Princess Yang'a is Liu Ao's sister.

Originally, Princess Yang'a had no sense of existence in history, but she did the same thing as Princess Pingyang during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

It was precisely this incident that made Princess Yang'a leave an understatement in the vast history books.

Don't underestimate this understatement. From ancient times to the present, there are very few women who can leave their names in official history. They are either demon concubines who bring disaster to the country and the people, or they are real and fake princesses sent for marriage.

It is quite difficult for other women to leave their names in official history.

Princess Yang A liked to recruit beautiful women to teach singing and dancing for her own entertainment. It was precisely because of her hobby that Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty almost always went to Princess Yang A's house to have a gathering when he went on tour in disguise.

Over time, the relationship between Liu Ao and his sister, Princess Yanga, became very harmonious.

Therefore, this time after Princess Yang'a sent a letter home to Liu Ao, Liu Ao did not refuse and went out of the palace incognito to attend a banquet at Princess Yang's place.

After arriving at Princess Yang'a's mansion, Liu Ao and Chunyu Chang stopped in front of the palace gate and ordered the guards in plain clothes beside them: "Go to the princess's mansion to report that Fulehou's family has arrived."

The guards received the order and immediately went to the Princess Yang's house to report. The servants guarding in front of the Princess's house heard the report of the visitor and did not dare to neglect. They immediately turned around and entered the mansion to report.

After a short while, the door of Princess Yang's Mansion opened, and Princess Yang went out to greet her in person.

Seeing Princess Yang'a coming out, Liu Ao also got off his horse and walked over.

"See Your Majesty."

Princess Yanga bowed.

Liu Ao saw Princess Yang's salute and said with a smile: "Eldest sister, please get up. I came incognito to attend the eldest sister's family banquet. How can I allow my eldest sister, the master, to be polite?"

Princess Yang'a also felt happy when she looked at Liu Ao with a smile on his face.

"Your Majesty, let's talk after we enter the palace."

Princess Yang A invited Liu Ao into the palace.

Liu Ao walked ahead of everyone without hesitation, as if he was returning to his own home. Princess Yang'a followed one step behind, and Chunyu Chang waited another step behind.

In this way, everyone entered Princess Yang's house in order of priority.

After arriving at the mansion, Liu Ao sat on the main seat in the main hall of the princess mansion. He did not kneel down, but sat cross-legged on his side very comfortably, with one arm propped up on the table in front of him to maintain his body balance.

, seems extremely casual.

"Sister, if you have anything interesting to do, just ask me to come up. I have been depressed in the palace for a long time, why should I come here to relax?"

Liu Ao was not polite at all and asked directly.

When Princess Yang heard Liu Ao's impatient voice, she smiled slightly and said, "Your Majesty, there is no need to be anxious. I have already arranged songs and dances to add to the fun. Wait for a while and then you can enjoy the beauty's dancing."

Liu Ao was in a good mood when he heard that there were songs and dances to entertain him. He frivolously took a grape from the copper gui in front of his case and put it into his mouth. Enjoying the delicious grape from the Western Regions, he said happily: "Cai !"

The Han Dynasty introduced grapes and other fruit plants from the Western Regions to the Han Dynasty after Zhang Qian returned from his mission to the Western Regions during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

But even so, grapes are a luxury fruit that is out of reach for ordinary people.

Princess Yang'a was in a great mood when she saw her emperor brother so happy.

Then Princess Yang clapped her hands gently, and after a while, the musicians bowed their heads and entered the main hall, then knelt and sat behind the screen on one side of the main hall, waiting for the dancers to come out to play music and add to the fun.

After the dancers of Princess Yang's Mansion entered the house with the musicians, they didn't wait too long. After the musicians struck a clear and melodious sound of "Zhong Qing", they stepped on the lotus steps and shyly raised their sleeves. Hiding his face, he entered the open space in the main hall.

As a piece of melodious Zheng music played, the dancers danced gracefully to entertain everyone in the hall.

The dancing of these dancers is very skillful. They always half-cover their faces during the dance, so that when the people watching the dance watch their slow and delicate dance, they can't help but feel itchy in their hearts and want to Get a glimpse of the dancer’s beautiful face.

It’s a pity that I can’t see it!

This dance is obviously a unique masked dance, in order to create a sense of curiosity that makes people feel mysterious and yearning.

Liu Ao was extremely happy watching the graceful movements of these moving dancers, especially every time the dancers turned around and changed positions, revealing their beautiful faces that were hard to see and glimpsed, Liu Ao's expression My heart is itching even more, and I want to get a glimpse of the beauty.

Princess Yang'a looked at Liu Ao, who looked attentive and never took his eyes off the dancer's figure for even a moment, and she felt extremely proud.

She spent a lot of time rehearsing this dance, just to surprise Liu Ao.

Now looking at Liu Ao's reaction, Princess Yang A knew that the dance she designed was really successful and really attracted all Liu Ao's attention.

As the dance gradually followed the charming Zheng Yin and entered the climax, the dancers quickly rotated in place to the rhythm of the music. In an instant, all the dancers let go of their faces and sleeves. , their beautiful faces like delicate flowers bloomed in front of everyone's eyes.

Liu Ao looked at the beautiful face of the dancer in the center and murmured: "There is a beautiful woman in the north, peerless and independent. She looks at Qingren city and then Qingren country. She would rather not know Qingcheng and Qingguo. Beauty Hard to find again."

This alluring song praising a beauty was written for Mrs. Li by her brother Li Yannian, the beloved concubine of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

At this moment, Liu Ao recited this poem softly, which shows how beautiful the beauty in the center of the dance floor is!

Just when Liu Ao was looking at the beautiful faces on the dance floor, the musicians stopped playing, and the dancers stopped dancing, bowed, stepped back slightly, and left the main hall with light steps.

Looking at the disappearing shadow of the beauty, Liu Ao still didn't come back to his senses. He looked straight ahead, as if he could still see the beauty dancing just now.

Princess Yanga called softly, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty?"

When Liu Ao heard Princess Yang's voice, he quickly came to his senses and said an unparalleled "hmm" twice, trying to cover up his embarrassment.

"Sister, what's the matter?"

Princess Yanga smiled and said: "Your Majesty, it's time to drink."

Liu Ao laughed awkwardly, "Yes, yes, you should drink this cup!"

After saying that, Liu Ao picked up the small cups on both sides of the wine glass with both hands and drank a full cup.

The wine glass is a common wine vessel in the Han Dynasty. It has an oval shape, a flat bottom, a shallow belly, and looks like hands clasped together, with half-moon-shaped ears on both sides.

Wang Xizhi, a great calligrapher in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, once described the scene of the wine cup in the preface to the Orchid Pavilion, "There is also a clear stream with strong turbulence, reflecting the left and right, making it look like the flowing water of the wine cup, which is the second place."

It can be seen that the wine glass, as a common drinking vessel, was still a high-end drinking vessel for nobles to enjoy themselves in the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

After drinking the wine in the wine glass, Liu Ao still couldn't forget the alluring face of the dancer just now.

After chatting for a few moments with Princess Yang, Liu Ao couldn't help but ask: "Sister, what is the name of the dancer who was standing in the center just now?"

Princess Yanga smiled and replied: "Feiyan."

"Flying swallow? Wonderful and wonderful, its body is as light as a flying feather, and it can dance on the palm of your hand."
