The gentle and somewhat yearning voice, as if it came from the sky, and as if it was in the ears, made people seem to see Chang'e's grief and melancholy before going to the moon, and heard Chang'e's tangled and reluctant heart. Just like everyone's worries when faced with a major choice, just like everyone wanders between trade-offs, just like everyone regrets deeply after making a choice.

Lin Wan seemed to be like Chang'e running to the moon, and finally in the center of the stage, she spun in place, and turned faster and faster, so fast that people's hearts were in their throats, for fear that Chang'e in front of her was really about to fly to the sky.

I don't know how many times I turned, Lin Wan slowly stopped, sat back behind the piano case, and flicked his fingers, merging with the sound of Ximen Yuqing's flute, and interpreting the final climax of the music vividly.

The sound of the piano and flute slowly stopped, as if they were gone with the wind. However, people's noses suddenly smell a faint fragrance, which makes people feel comfortable, but it also makes people slowly wake up from intoxication, and it is the kind of person who has no regrets and returns to the world with satisfaction.

There was no applause, no praise, no warm applause, only the silence of the night, the baptism of the moonlight and the gentleness of the wind.

Lin Wan returned to his seat, and Ximen Yuqing also returned to the high platform, no one spoke, as if as soon as he made a sound, he destroyed the beauty of the moment.

Finally, Concubine Jin broke the silence at the moment and called in a low voice: "Your Majesty ......"

Only then did Ximen Longao come back to his senses and glanced at Lin Wan deeply, his eyes shining with crystal. Because, just now, he thought of Ximen Yuqing's mother, remembered the mistakes he made, and remembered the beauty he had lost.

When everyone came back to their senses, they turned their eyes to Lin Wan, to the slender woman who was sitting there quietly with her eyes lowered, as if everything that happened just now was just an unfulfilled dream in everyone's heart.

Ximen Longao sighed lightly, turned his head and glanced at Ximen Yuqing, his gaze had never left Lin Wan, his goal was so clear, he already had a choice in his heart, and he would not be shaken by anything.

Scholar Feng and Zhao Chengxiang also think that whether it is poetry, piano skills, dance skills, or choreography, Lin Wan's final performance can be called perfect. Not only are they only seen in their lives, but no one can surpass them.

Ximen Longao turned to Ximen Hucheng again, and asked in a low voice: "According to the emperor's brother, is Princess Wan's talent the best tonight?"

Ximen Hucheng thought about it, nodded, shook his head again, and said, "Brother Huang, Her Royal Highness Princess Wan's performance is indeed extraordinary. However, the younger brother believes that Princess Hongde's dancing is also amazing, and it is not equal. ”

Of course, Ximen Longao understood Ximen Hucheng's thoughts and position, nodded slightly noncommittally, turned to look at Ximen Yuqing, sighed lightly, and asked in a low voice: "Qing'er, ...... you?"

Ximen Yuqing did not hesitate, shook his head firmly, and said, "Except for Wan'er, I will not be the second choice." ”

Ximen Longao frowned slightly, but he did not object to Ximen Yuqing's choice. Lin Wan's performance just now deeply moved Ximen Longao, and reminded him of the past many years ago, so that he also had a new understanding and tolerance for Ximen Yuqing's persistence.

Concubine Jin hooked her lips and smiled, and said, "Your Majesty, since the three judges, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Lord Feng and Lord Zhao, all think that Princess Wan's performance is the best, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a soft spot for Her Royal Highness Princess Wan, you can fulfill them." ”

Ximen Longao nodded and said, "Okay, Feng Aiqing, you immediately draft a decree to make Princess Wan of the Great Feudal Kingdom the crown princess, and repair a letter to the emperor of the Great Feudal Kingdom, asking him to allow me to hold a wedding for them in the Xiling Kingdom." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, the ministers obey the order!" Scholar Feng immediately got up, bowed down to receive the order, and walked to the side, Grandpa Hua had already prepared a blank holy decree on the table, and began to write.

Concubine Jin looked at Ximen Longao with a smile and sighed softly: "Princess Wan is good at everything, but her body is too weak and she is young. Your Majesty, it is better for us to choose a few more side concubines for the prince, so that they can serve the prince wholeheartedly and spread out for our royal family as soon as possible. ”

Ximen Longao smiled and nodded, and said lightly: "What Concubine Ai said is very true, I wonder if there is a suitable candidate in Concubine Ai's mind?"

Concubine Jin smiled, glanced at the many women in the audience, her eyes fell on Bai Qingxue's body, but she didn't say anything, shook her head, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the concubines don't want to be said by others that the concubines are biased, so let's ask a few judges to judge together." ”

Ximen Longao nodded appreciatively, turned to Zhao Mian, and asked, "Zhao Aiqing, do you think that among the women who are running for election in our Xiling Kingdom, which two of them have family backgrounds, appearances, talents, and virtues that are enough to match the position of the crown prince's side concubine?"

Zhao Mian was a little embarrassed, pondered for a moment, stood up, bowed to Ximen Longao, and said: "Your Majesty, this matter is very important, please allow Weichen to give you an answer after discussing with Lord Feng, can you?"

Ximen Longao nodded and said, "Okay, Zhao Aiqing will go and discuss it with Feng Aiqing, I will ask the opinions of King Qi and the crown prince first." ”

Zhao Mian walked to Scholar Feng's desk as if relieved, and conveyed the meaning of Ximen Longao to Scholar Feng, and the two expressed their opinions and analyzed them seriously.

Ximen Longao turned his head to look at Ximen Hucheng, smiled and asked, "Brother Huang, do you have a favorite candidate?"

Ximen Hucheng snorted coldly and said: "The younger brother only thinks that the position of the crown princess, whether it is in terms of status, appearance and talent, or physical condition, it is none other than Princess Hongde, please think twice." As for the candidate for the side concubine, the younger brother thinks that it is not important, as long as it can balance the forces of the DPRK and China. It's about the crown princess, and please think twice about it!" After speaking, Ximen Hucheng actually stood up, left the scene in a huff, took his two sons, strode down the high platform, and walked towards the outside of the Bright Valley.

Ximen Longao frowned, looked at the back of Ximen Hucheng leaving, and didn't speak for a long time.

After a while, Zhao Mian and Scholar Feng walked back together, and Scholar Feng handed the prepared holy decree and national letter to Ximen Longao with both hands.

Ximen Longao took the holy decree and the national letter, frowned and read it carefully, nodded, and solemnly printed the jade seal on the holy decree and the national letter. Then, it was handed over to Grandpa Hua to collect. He turned to Zhao Mian again and said very seriously: "Zhao Aiqing, this matter will be announced in the morning tomorrow, and King Qi will definitely take the lead in opposing it, do you know what to do?"

Zhao Mian nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, Weichen understands." After speaking, he glanced at Scholar Feng again, and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen and Lord Feng agree that Bai Qingxue, the daughter of Prime Minister Bai, and Jiang Xinbei, the third lady of Master Jiang's family, have both talent and virtue, and are worthy of being candidates for the prince's concubine." ”
