Chapter 1466: No One Knows
The applause gradually stopped, and Father-in-law Hua walked to the front of the stage and announced loudly: "The emperor has a decree, Princess Hongde of Nanyue is talented, and she will appreciate a red brocade in Xiling." ”
There was an uproar in the audience, and the beauties present were stunned, and even Lin Wan couldn't help frowning secretly. Although she doesn't know much about Xiling Red Brocade, and she hasn't seen the real Xiling Red Brocade, she has heard of it.
It is said that Xiling red brocade is made of the hair of the fire fox, the color is red, bright and smooth, the production process is complicated, and it may not be possible to make a horse in a year. In the past, it was specially used for the queen's clothes. However, a few years ago, Ximen Longao posthumously named Ximen Yuqing's late mother as the queen, and no one in the palace wore clothes made of Xiling red brocade anymore.
Therefore, Xiling red brocade is also a symbol of status, but Ximen Longao gave Xiling red brocade to Hong Xiaotian, does it mean that Ximen Longao actually wants Hong Xiaotian to be the crown princess?
Everyone on and off the stage whispered, and even Concubine Jin beside Ximen Longao was surprised, she didn't expect that Ximen Longao would suddenly make such a decision.
Lin Wan was very surprised in his heart, and even Ximen Yuqing, who had been careless, couldn't help frowning, and glanced at Ximen Longao coldly, but didn't say anything.
Only Ximen Hucheng, Ximen Yuling, Ximen Yumin, Lan Ziheng, Lu Manting, Xu Nuo, and a group of envoys from Nanyue were extremely excited and couldn't help but be overjoyed.
Hong Xiaotian was also very surprised, and sat there in a daze, as if he hadn't reacted yet. But she was extremely entangled in her heart, she was a little repulsed to become the crown princess of Xiling Kingdom. However, for his skills to dominate the crowd and be recognized by Ximen Longao, he was very happy and proud in his heart.
Seeing that Hong Xiaotian was still stunned, Father-in-law Hua couldn't help but remind in a low voice: "Her Royal Highness Princess Hongde, quickly receive the order and thank you." ”
Only then did Hong Xiaotian react, quickly got up, and lightly blessed Ximen Longao on the high platform, and thanked him crisply: "Thank you for the emperor's grace!"
Ximen Longao smiled and nodded, and said kindly: "Tian'er doesn't need to be polite, let's sit down and rest for a while." After the performance of Princess Wan of the Great Feudal Kingdom is finished, I will discuss with several judges and announce the final results of today's selection of the crown princess on the spot. ”
Hong Xiaotian sat down as he said, secretly speculating in his heart about the meaning of Ximen Longao's words.
Ximen Longao addressed Hong Xiaotian very kindly, and seemed to be very satisfied with Hong Xiaotian both inside and outside the words. However, he said that he would not be able to decide the final ownership of the crown princess until Lin Wan finished the performance and discussed with several other judges. But it was very clear to everyone that although he rewarded Hong Xiaotian with a Xiling red brocade, it did not mean that Hong Xiaotian would be canonized as the crown princess of Xiling Kingdom.
Father-in-law Hua coughed lightly, and waited for the audience to be quiet before he slowly spoke: "Next, I will invite Her Royal Highness Princess Wan of the Great Sealing Kingdom to perform a talent for everyone." ”
Lin Wan smiled faintly, stood up unhurriedly, slowly walked to the center of the stage, raised his eyes to look at the judges on the high platform, swept the audience on both sides, and finally looked at Ximen Longao, smiled brightly, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the talent show started at noon, and by now, it has been in the middle of the moon." Presumably all the audience is already very tired, and Wan'er doesn't have any special talents, just a little bit of rhythm and a little bit of medical skills. It's better for Wan'er to play a song to calm everyone's nerves. ”
Hearing this, Ximen Long nodded with a smile and said, "Wan'er is really empathetic and deeply respected. In that case, I and Aiqing listened to it. ”
At the suggestion of Father-in-law Hua, the palace maids had already moved the piano case up again, placed it in the center of the stage, and then bowed down and retreated.
Lin Wanwan smiled, turned around and walked to the back of the piano case and sat down, raised her slender jade fingers, and gently plucked the strings, and the sound of the piano suddenly flowed out slowly, like moonlight, giving people a gentle and comfortable feeling.
This is a piece of music that no one has heard in ancient times, but it is very famous in modern times, and almost everyone knows it. However, adapting the piano music into guqin music was a very bold attempt by Lin Wan when she was learning guzheng in her previous life.
Beethoven's "Moonlight" has a total of three movements, the first movement is soft and lyrical, with a hint of melancholy in the slow melody, the second movement is light and beautiful, slowly mobilizing the audience's emotions and making the audience feel relaxed and happy, and the third movement is like a storm, venting a kind of fierce fighting spirit, embodying the author's fearless spirit, which makes people unconsciously excited.
Lin Wan's adaptation of this "Moonlight Song", although played on the guqin, is not as melodious, so passionate, and so impactful as the piano music. However, it also copied the original intention of the creation of "Moonlight Song" and retained most of the essence.
In particular, when Lin Wan played the first movement, the piano tone gently pushed and slowed down, like the moonlight pouring on the ground, slowly moving to people's hearts, illuminating people's memories that have not been touched for a long time, and evoking those fluttering past.
Only the first movement has completely made the audience slowly calm down, slowly forgetting the passionate dance just now, forgetting the crowd around them, as if only the beautiful moonlight and sad self are left between heaven and earth.
In the second movement, Lin Wan mobilized the emotions of the audience again, and slowly drove away the sadness in people's hearts with cheerful piano sounds. By the time of the third movement, the passionate sound of the piano ignited people's fighting spirit, as if they had seen the newborn sun through the endless night.
The song "Moonlight Song" has been played, and the audience is still immersed in their own world and has not returned to reality.
Suddenly, a wisp of Qingyue's flute sounded in the quiet mountains, and a slender white figure slowly walked to the stage.
Ximen Yuqing didn't know when he had already taken off the prince's robe in the color of the Ming Emperor, and came to Lin Wan's side wearing only a white robe. As soon as Lin Wan's piano sound fell, he put the flute to his lips and played the "When Will the Water Tune Song Head Bright Moon" that Lin Wan had been practicing a few days ago.
What's amazing is that the two pieces of music are connected seamlessly, without any sense of disobedience.
The flute sounded, Lin Wan also stood up, and with the sound of Ximen Yuqing's flute, it gently rotated and danced on the stage, as if this was the Yaochi Moon Palace, and the stage covered with white carpet was the bright moon, and the stunning woman dancing on the moon was Chang'e in the Moon Palace.
While dancing, Lin Wan opened his mouth softly and said slowly: "When is the bright moon?" I don't know what year it is in the heavenly palace. I want to go back by the wind, but I am afraid of Qionglou Yuyu, and the high place is unbearable. Dance to figure out how the shadow seems to be in the world. Turn Zhu Pavilion, low Qihu, shine sleeplessly. There should be no hatred, what is the long time to say goodbye? People have joys and sorrows, and the moon is cloudy and sunny, and this matter is difficult to complete. I hope that people will last a long time, and they will be together for thousands of miles. ”
