Chapter 0187 Dance Music Division
The eunuch who was driving took out the fish talisman and handed it to the armored guard. His voice was sharp and he said, "According to the Queen Mother's oral order, the Dance and Music Department selected one folk musician, and the two dancers entered the palace to prepare new dance music and teach palace maids for use."
The armored guard took the fish talisman, inspected it correctly, and said, "Raise the curtain."
The eunuch raised the curtain, and the armored guard looked in the light, and his eyes suddenly became straight. He saw the three girls sitting in the carriage, each with extraordinary appearance, one more beautiful and charming than the other, with a small carriage with infinite spring breeze.
The eunuch asked, "Can you let go?"
"Wait! Why does this person carry weapons!" The armored guard looked tight and hurriedly pointed the spear in his hand. The atmosphere in the palace was very tense these days, and these guards were already in panic.
When Xiao Cui saw the shaking spearhead, she was so scared that she was about to shout, but suddenly remembered the advice she had just told me, for fear that she would say the wrong thing when she shouted, so she hurriedly covered her mouth tightly.
"Sir, please look at this sword."
A girl smiled slightly and nodded to the girl holding the sword.
The girl pulled out the sword and presented the white sword body to the armored guards.
"Hey, this sword body is so strange... how could there be such a sword?" The armored guard couldn't help but feel very strange when he saw that the sword body was neither gold nor iron, and it was faintly transparent, like a jade carving.
"Sir, this sword is a jade sword used for performing sword dance, and it is not a real sword at all. When we passed the previous palace gates just now, this sword was also inspected, and there was nothing wrong with it." The girl said, throwing a charming look at the armored guard, "If we don't have this sword, we will not be able to teach sword dance. Please make some peace."
The guard saw this charming look and suddenly became trembling, and even his bones were slimming. He nodded quickly and said, "So that's it, okay, you can go in."
He waved his hand and said, "Let it go!"
The eunuch drove the carriage again, walked through the palace gate, and headed towards the dance music department.
The dance music department is located at the edge of the palace and is affiliated with the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which is responsible for the dance music in the palace. Among them, women's origins are different from ordinary palace maids. Most of the palace maids are selected by women from lower-class officials or benevolent people's families. However, women in the dance music department are mostly convicted officials' wives and daughters, and are given a low-ranking citizenship. The best ones are selected into the dance music department in the palace for use.
The carriage was parked in front of the Dance and Music Department. The eunuch got out of the car and picked up the curtain and said softly: "Girls, it's time to arrive, please get off."
The three girls got off the carriage, and several women came to the gate of the music department. Among them, the leader was a thin dress, with a lotus face, and smiled and held the hand of a girl in green: "Sister Ruyan, I miss you so much!"
The girl in green was Liu Ruyan. She smiled sweetly and said softly: "Sister Qingrou, after the last time I parted, Ruyan missed you every day! After a long time of absence, my sister has reduced a lot, making people feel sad. This time I came to see you, I also brought some ginseng. Although it is not as good as the palace, it is good to nourish it. I will stew it with my sister later."
Qingrou hurriedly said, "I'm asking my sister to enter the palace this time to help me prepare new dance music, not to let you be an old mom!"
Both of them covered their mouths and laughed. Qingrou suddenly asked, "I just wanted to ask, who is this girl who looks like a fairy?"
The girl was dressed in white, as if she was like a fairy in the moon. She saw her move her lotus steps lightly, and greeted her, and said lightly: "I have seen Si Le, my name is Mu Ningzhi, I am polite."
Seeing Mu Ningzhi so indifferent, Qingrou was a little stunned. Liu Ruyan hurriedly said, "This Miss Mu is my best friend and is good at sword dance. This time my sister wants to compile new dance music, so she must rely on her more!"
Qingrou smiled and said, "It's really a good thing to get your help! It's cool outside, please come in with me."
Several people entered the dance music department, walked through the courtyard, and entered the hall. They saw that it was very empty, with the sound of silk and bamboo, which was pleasant to refresh the ears. In front of them, a group of beautiful women in gorgeous clothes were dancing gracefully. At first glance, they saw a wide-belt fairy-like, a rainbow of clothes, a graceful waist, and a light figure.
The dance posture of the beautiful people is like autumn geese walking in the sky, the clouds are vague and the traces are unknown, and it is like a green fish circling a lotus, and the water surface is rippling and there is no shadow.
At the end of the song, the beautiful people stood looking at each other, just like the pictures of the beauty on the screen.
Liu Ruyan clapped her hands with a smile and said, "It's amazing. This dance is shocking, and the cold moon and flowers fly, which makes people's hearts follow. She is floating in the air. She is really worthy of being trained by her sister himself."
Qingrou covered her mouth and smiled, "My sister is so good-mouthed, and she makes people happy as soon as she speaks. But when it comes to dance music, who can be your opponent in the capital? Otherwise, why would I invite you to help!"
She turned to the dancers and said, "You continue to practice hard, and you can rest in half an hour."
Then he smiled and invited Liu Ruyan to the small room next to him and ordered someone to serve tea.
The two of them started chatting there, and their words were full of rouge, nourishing and tonics. Mu Ningzhi was not interested in hearing it. She entered Miyamoto to find clues, but the palace was very wide and she really didn't know where to start. If it weren't for the fact that it was not yet night, she would have gone out to check it out long ago.
Liu Ruyan rolled her eyes and asked, "Sister, I have something to ask, but I'm afraid my sister will make things difficult for her."
"This place is secluded, but I say it's okay."
So Liu Ruyan asked, "The city is full of ups and downs, why is the Empress Dowager still in the mood to watch the new dance music?"
Qingrou sighed and said, "The Queen Mother has always thought that the palace dance music has been tired of it, and it has not happened in the past few days. It was just a few days later that it was Princess Yunshang's birthday, so the superiors ordered the Dance Music Department to compile a new dance music in three days, and at least two new dances, which made me difficult. I can still be competent for practicing dance, but it is indeed not my ability to compile a new dance music, so I specially invited my sister here, and I have to rely more on this time."
Liu Ruyan smiled and said, "Don't worry, sister, I'll come here with four new dances this time. Xiao Cui will be able to demonstrate it later. Sister can choose the best."
Qingrou was overjoyed and said, "Sister is really my timely rain! But I wonder if the names of these dance music were chosen?"
Liu Ruyan nodded and said, "Of course, the names of these four dance music are "Immortal Dance", "Bright River and Mountain Dance", "Returning to the Wind and Sending the Far Dance", and "Souling Sword Dance".
Qingrou frowned, looked around, and lowered her voice and said, "Fortunately, my sister said to me first, but the rest are fine, but this "Brave River and Mountain Dance" is a taboo in the palace."
Liu Ruyan was stunned: "The four words "Bright Rivers and Mountains" are so auspicious, but they are also taboos?"
"Hi, there are many taboos in the palace. This dance must be changed." Qingrou said, and suddenly she was worried that Liu Ruyan was unhappy, so she hurriedly said in a low voice, "It's not that my sister's name is not good, it's really..."
There are only Liu Ruyan, Qingrou, Mu Ningzhi and Xiao Cui in this room. Liu Ruyan understands it and says, "Don't worry, sister, both of me are the ones with locks on my mouth."
Qingrou whispered, "Okay, then I'll tell you, in fact, everyone in the palace has long known about this."
