The father hurriedly left the table and got up, saying to the emperor and Concubine Qing on the main seat that he didn't dare to be.

Concubine Qing only smiled coquettishly and interrupted her father's honorifics: "Prime Minister Murong, you don't have to be too modest, now I only want to ask you, can you let me see Ling Qianjin's talents." ”

Since it has come to this point, it is impossible to shirk, and besides, with the respect of a noble concubine, she still plays music to cheer up, what reason does the daughter of the Murong family have to refuse.

I looked at the Son of Heaven on the jade steps, with a faint smile on my face, and I didn't support it, but I didn't oppose it.

sighed slightly in his heart, knowing that he was ready to fly, and he had to send it.

lowered his eyes, but he couldn't help but feel slightly annoyed at Shangnan Chengyao's lazy smile, and sighed lightly: "Now Your Highness is happy." ”

While speaking, he gently stretched out his hand to push him, Yun'er is pregnant, it is always difficult to ask her to attend the performance, now, the eyes of the entire hall are almost focused on me, I know that I can't, I can only meet it, but please not be rude.

"What do I have to be happy about, on such an occasion, according to your temperament, it is good to be able to use seven points of strength. He smiled lazily and straightened up: "However, it is also a fun thing to watch you perform in front of everyone, not only not to lose the face of the Murong family, but also to control not to steal the limelight from Concubine Qing." ”

I glared at him in annoyance, his dark eyes seemed to be dark, but I didn't bother to pay any more attention to it, so I got up to attend.

But he heard a beautiful voice ringing in the hall first: "Since the mother commanded, Yun'er will be ugly." ”

I was slightly stunned, Yun'er had slowly walked to the hall, with an elegant posture and a thousand appearances.

Qing Guifei obviously didn't expect her to make such a move, but after being stunned, her reaction was extremely fast, and she smiled coquettishly: "I don't know what instrument the princess wants to play?"

Yun'er smiled faintly: "Dizi." ”

Immediately, a palace maid held a new jade flute, Yun'er took it, and without saying anything, she put it to her lips and played it by herself.

The hall was silent for a while, and what she played was the song played by Concubine Fang Qing, and it was exactly the same. It's just that Concubine Qing's flute is soft, and Yun'er's flute is beautiful.

I saw that my mother's complexion changed slightly, and then she returned to her usual peace.

At the end of the song, the hall was still full of applause, and Concubine Qing smiled coquettishly and said: "The daughter of the Murong family really deserves her reputation." ”

Yun'er handed the jade flute to the palace maid on the side, and smiled faintly: "Niang Niang's praise is ashamed, but Yun'er is also a person who is a music idiot. ”

Concubine Qing was still smiling: "Since she is also a person who is a music idiot, the crown princess should have also heard the moving legend of the phoenix caused by this song three songs, such a good festival, it happens that another daughter of the Murong family is also at the banquet, why don't you invite the third princess to attend and play a song, and this legend is fulfilled." ”

I sighed slightly, she refused to let me feel better.

Before I had time to deal with it, Yun'er's voice was still heard with a light smile: "Niangniang also said that it was a legend, why bother to be so persistent?"

Concubine Qing smiled coquettishly: "It's just to please an elegance, the third princess won't be unappreciative, right? Besides, when the son is here today, maybe it can really attract a phoenix, Your Majesty, you say yes?"

The emperor looked at Concubine Qing and smiled: "What Concubine Ai said is very true. ”

Now that the Son of Heaven has spoken, how dare I disobey? I can't help but sigh that Concubine Qing's move is so high, and she deliberately hooks the emperor, then, in the eyes of everyone, no matter how much she does it, she is just killing the prestige of the Murong family for the emperor, and no one will suspect that there is something else hidden in it.

So the appointed person got up, walked into the hall with a dignified demeanor, and said gently: "Since the emperor has a life, Qing'er should play a song to help the fun." It's just that Qing'er doesn't know how to play the flute, can you use a zither to bring it?"

Concubine Qing raised her lips and chuckled: "This is difficult for me, there are all kinds of musical instruments in the palace, but there is no such zheng." If you send someone to pick it up from the wine shop now, I'm afraid it won't be too late. Fortunately, the difference between this Zheng and Yaoqin is not too much, but one is more noble, and the other can't be in the elegant hall, I don't know if the princess can settle down, I immediately ordered someone to get this good Jingtao Guqin. ”

Before I could say anything, Yun'er had already said lightly: "This piece is extremely difficult to learn, let alone play it with the yaoqin, and I am afraid that no one in the world can do it anymore." Niangniang is naturally very clear, otherwise she would not abandon the Yaoqin and take the flute. Now, why bother us anymore......"

"Yun'er, Niangniang is just a joke. A gentle voice interrupted Yun'er's words, and I saw Nan Chengmian get up and walk in the hall, protect Yun'er behind him, and then saluted to Concubine Qinggui: "The concubine and concubine are not sensible, and I hope that my father and mother will not be surprised." ”

The emperor was still smiling and waved his hand lightly: "It's not in the way, the girl is straightforward and fast-talking, and she is cute." ”

Concubine Qing's face was full of emotion, and she smiled softly: "This palace has always hoped to have a sister to protect me like this." ”

Nan Chengmian thanked his father warmly, and then took Yun'er back to the table. Yun'er's face changed slightly, but she didn't say anything after all, and followed the prince back to the table quietly and sat down.

In the empty hall, I was the only one left, looking at the smiling Qing Guifei on the jade steps.

Her voice sounded again, and she smiled softly: "Since the crown princess misunderstood that I was embarrassing the third princess, I had to give up." Since the three princesses are good at using the zither, they don't immediately go to the nearest wine shop to get a side back. ”

I smiled slightly, and compared me to a dancer. Even if I don't care, the Murong family can't be humiliated.

So he lowered his eyelashes, and said gently: "How dare Qing'er move the crowd to sweep everyone's interest, and ask Niang Niang to borrow Yaoqin to use, Qing'er is willing to give it a try." ”

I wasn't entirely sure, but I was a little nervous.

My Qin Zheng was learned from Su Xiumian, under the moonlight, between the mountains and rivers, each note is like flowing clouds and water, and it is played very well, which I know.

Later, when I returned to Xiangfu, although my mother also found someone to teach me Yaoqin fingering, although I learned it, I always felt that Yaoqin was not as freehand and free as Qin Zheng, so I didn't put in the effort to practice.

Now, I want to use this yaoqin to play an unfamiliar tune, and my composure and tranquility are only on the surface.

After a while, the Jingtao guqin was lifted to the hall, and I silently recited the notes played by Concubine Fang Caiqing and Yun'er, and sat down slowly.

was about to play, but suddenly heard Nan Chengyao's voice sound, and smiled faintly: "Father, if my princess's performance can still be heard, I will take this 'shocking wave' back to the house." ”

I looked at him sideways, although he was smiling and talking to the emperor, his eyes were looking at Concubine Qing, so cold, implying a warning.

The saint smiled and agreed, and couldn't help shaking his head, as if he had a headache for this unreasonable son, but he was helpless because of his love.

Concubine Qing also stopped talking, lowered her head slightly, and sat down quietly beside the emperor again.

And Nan Chengyao seemed to notice my sight, looked back at me, and said with a lazy smile: "I've been remembering this 'storm' for a long time, and I finally got a chance, so don't let me down, princess." ”

I raised my fingers slightly and stroked the strings, naturally I didn't have the intention of deliberately winning because of his words, but now, I don't dare to move the idea of hiding my strength at all, I just want to finish this song as it is, not make mistakes, and not lose the face of the Murong family.

One by one, the notes sounded between my fingers, and at first there was inevitably a slight condensation, but finally it slowly became smooth like a secluded spring.

I couldn't pay attention to the faces of everyone in the hall, and I didn't even have time to distinguish the sound of my own lyre, but I followed my instinct and let the strings fly between my fingers.

When the last trills stopped, I closed my fingers slightly, and a drop of Yin Yin's blood slowly slid down the tip of my fingers onto the surface.

I seemed to hear my mother's exclamation in disbelief, and when I came back to my senses, the whole hall was silent again, and there was no sound.

It made me feel that the exclamation I had just heard was just my hallucination.

I don't know how long it took, but it was still eerily quiet, and I looked back at my mother, but her face was dazed and she didn't give me any response.

So subconsciously looked sideways to find Nan Chengyao, he was looking at me fixedly, and his dark eyes were bottomless.

I was a little at a loss, and just then, a lonely applause came from the right front, breaking the silence of the room.

I looked up, and the prince stood up with a gentle smile on his face, looked at me approvingly, and applauded softly.

As if awakened by his applause, the entire hall was thunderous in applause, and it never stopped for a long time.
