Chapter 361: The Excitement of Chinese New Year's Eve
This singer Su Linger was the singer invited by King Qi on his birthday, and some people speculated at that time whether King Qi was an old tree and wanted to accept this singer as a concubine. After that, King Qi didn't take a concubine, but he had an extra daughter, and everyone naturally forgot about this woman, Lin Yu said casually at the time, wanting to see this woman's singing, and didn't want Qingqing to remember.
"But is it appropriate to invite her on such a Chinese New Year's Eve?" Lin Yu always felt that something was wrong, in ancient times, she was still very particular about her status, saying that she was the first singer in the capital, but she was still a Qinglou woman, and it was not a big problem to help the birthday banquet, and it seemed a little frivolous to invite it on such a grand and serious occasion as the New Year. But it's hard to say, whether King Qi likes this woman's singing very much, it's also hard to say.
"Well, you'll find out in a while." Qingqing probably thought of this as well, and showed a sly smile. "Anyway, it's definitely a lot of fun."
"Oh?" Lin Yu saw that Qingqing rarely sold a pass, and he didn't ask any more questions, so he was immersed in the beautiful singing. Although she doesn't know much about ancient music, beautiful things are beautiful things, and art has commonalities after all, and she is still infected.
She, an outsider, was quite infected, not to mention the original ancient people here, after finishing a song, their faces showed a shocked and touching look. King Qi was also a great talent when he was young, and he was quite fluent in music, although he didn't like the background of this singer very much, he still raised his hand.
"Reward this Su Ling'er girl with ten taels of gold and a piece of silk."
As soon as King Qi's words fell, his men brought up a wooden tray lined with red silk. There are two golden ingots on it, although it looks small, it is close to one hundred and fifty taels of silver. Unexpectedly, the girl Su Ling'er didn't answer. But he knelt down at King Qi, kowtowed three times, and knocked the person holding the gift unconscious, and King Qi didn't understand what she meant, so he couldn't help frowning slightly.
Generally speaking, this kind of thanksgiving woman also bends her knees and bows, that is, there is no reason to kowtow three times in a row. Moreover, this Su Ling'er and Miss Su kowtowed and didn't get up to accept the bounty. Instead, he continued to kneel towards King Qi.
"Miss Su, what do you mean by that?" The King of Qi is old and refined, and many thoughts have turned in his heart in an instant. didn't show their faces, just looked at each other lightly.
Lin Yu looked at the girl who was kneeling, then looked at the lobby that had quieted down for a while, and turned her head sideways. Asked Qingqing lightly. "That's what you mean by hilarity? It doesn't seem like a simple task. ”
"You just look at it, it's actually a very simple thing." The corners of Qingqing's lips curled slightly, and he whispered, "Do you see which of my brothers has a wrong face?" ”
"The faces of the second brother and the fourth brother are not quite right, it is normal for the second brother to have a bad face, after all, this Su Ling'er was introduced by him, why is the fourth brother's face more ugly than him?" Lin Yu's eyes rolled. I have long seen that two of the five sons of King Qi are not very good-looking.
"Can't you guess?"
Qingqing was just about to decrypt it, when she heard Su Ling'er's beautiful voice over there and spoke. "Ask the prince to allow me to enter the mansion, I already have a child in my belly, and there is really no way."
In fact, Su Ling'er had already shed tears at this time, but her voice was so good, even if she had a little crying, it was still very beautiful, and people couldn't help but pay attention.
What else Lin Yu doesn't understand when he sees it now? touched Qingqing, lowered his voice and said, "That's what you said." ”
Probably Lin Yu's face was a little disappointed, and she glanced at her and said, "What else do you want to see?" That's not lively enough? ”
Seeing that Lin Yu was still lacking interest, she said as she lowered her voice very low, and said, "There is still a matter of the back house, you won't fail to see it, after all, I have five brothers, but I don't have a son." ”
Lin Yu was reminded by her like this, and she also understood. Qingqing already knows about the Dao, don't the concubines of the housekeeper know about the Dao? But at that time, Concubine Lu was under house arrest, and Concubine Li and Concubine Wang joined forces to pit the second and fourth children. Especially the fourth child, the mother Lu family has been very beautiful recently, with a good background and some ability, and it was the most powerful competitor to the throne of the son.
But now that this has happened, King Qi's impression of the fourth child must have been greatly reduced, don't look at King Qi and Qingqing's mother also have a touching love story, I think he will tolerate his sons to do some "can't help it" things. Because the father of King Qi favored a concubine and the son born to her, the prince who killed the son-in-law at that time was forced to die, and the queen died of depression. However, the son of the favorite concubine was even more faint after succeeding to the throne, and after two years, everyone was in danger, and finally there was turmoil.
The current emperor, Yu Wenji and the Qi Wang brothers, overthrew the faint monarch with the support of many ministers of the clan, and the faint monarch was accused of poisoning the previous emperor to modify the edict and usurp the throne, and was knocked out along with his mother, who was deposed as a concubine. Before the emperor ascended the throne, he was titled King Linchuan, known as the Linchuan King Rebellion. Although twenty years have passed since that incident, after all, King Qi has been suppressed in the process of growing up, and he almost died a few times later, and his original concubine also died at the hands of that person.
And before entering the palace, the favorite concubine was also a well-known Qing Qi Oiran who did not sell her body, and was later taken by the emperor when he traveled in micro-clothes, and was brought to the palace, and was loved by thousands of people. If it weren't for the fact that Yuwenji was indeed a capable emperor, the imperial court might have declined directly at that time, unlike now, although it is not a great prosperous age, it has also recovered.
Because of all the past, King Qi was very disgusted with the matter of spoiling concubines and killing his wife, especially disgusted with Naqinglou women as concubines, which was absolutely not allowed. Although he is older, he is a little more open-minded, because he really likes music, and he also allows Su Ling'er to sing in the house, but his son hooks up with that Su Ling'er, which is absolutely not allowed by him.
Lin Yu was mentioned by Qingqing first and saw who it was, but King Qi didn't find out, or noticed the clue, and didn't say it, but asked indifferently, "Who has a head and tail with you?" Looking for me for fulfillment? ”
Although his voice didn't hear much anger, and it could even be regarded as peaceful, Lin Yu could clearly see the cold light in his eyes, and couldn't help but sigh softly. It seems that after all, he is the superior person, the prince of real power, although he usually shows mildness and kindness, he is a very good elder, but he is still a decisive person in the end.
In the face of King Qi's indifference, Su Ling'er had tears in her eyes, and she didn't speak immediately, but glanced at the table of several little princes twice, and lowered her head, "He didn't let him say, it was also Su Ling'er who overstepped it, what kind of identity am I, how dare I dare to enter the palace?" It's just a child in my belly, and I'm worried about the future-"
A good move to retreat into advance, Lin Yu couldn't help but applaud Su Ling'er's performance. Say that she can't enter the mansion if she has a low status, but now that she has shown her belly, she is still in front of everyone, and it is impossible for King Qi to ignore this matter at all. Just like this Su Ling'er said, Su Ling'er's identity doesn't matter, the child she gave birth to is her grandchild after all, can she really let the child grow up with a Qinglou woman?
But even if King Qi allowed her to enter the mansion, she was afraid that she would not be very happy, and Su Ling'er must have understood this, so she came to retreat as advance, wanting to reduce King Qi's disgust for her. And although Su Ling'er is not a stunning beauty, she can be praised as the first singer in the capital, her appearance is not bad, and she is also a delicate little beauty, at this time her eyes are full of tears, she looks very pitiful, Chu Chu is moving, I am afraid that King Qi will be soft-hearted.
Lin Yu thought so, so he glanced at King Qi twice, but found that King Qi's eyes became more and more cold, more ruthless than before Su Ling'er retreated, and to put it bluntly, he was already murderous. This surprised her very much, Su Ling'er's trick is not a hundred trials for men, but it generally does not have any adverse effects. With the status of King Qi and the magnanimity he shows on weekdays, even if he is annoyed, for the sake of the child in Su Ling'er's belly, he will not really care about Su Ling'er, and most of them will punish the fourth child severely.
However, although King Qi had murderous intent, he didn't show it, he just glanced at Su Ling'er indifferently and then turned his head to look at the table where his sons were sitting, and said angrily, "Which son of a scumbag sits, don't you want me to get out, or do you want this king to invite you out?" ”
At this time, the fourth king of Qi also knew that he couldn't hide it, and looked at the angry old father, knelt down slowly, and explained desperately, "My son is actually very wronged, and it was that slut who seduced me." ”
He knew that his father was taboo about this matter, and although he didn't know if it had any effect, he still explained it head-on.
"Don't you dare to admit it!" When King Qi saw him like this, he became even more angry, and smashed a cup on the table in annoyance. "Seducing you? How not to seduce others? ”
Next, King Qi naturally squirted a storm, and several other people didn't help King Qi and the fourth to speak, one because they were competitors after all, and for another reason, everyone knew the royal family's taboo on this matter. Not only the King of Qi, but also other palaces, but also for the women from the Qinglou are not sensitive, they were all bitten by snakes once, and they were afraid of the well rope for ten years.
Even King Qi's fourth wife, Lu, and his mother, Concubine Lu, didn't come out to help him speak, for fear that they wouldn't be able to help, but would make King Qi even more angry.
"It's kind of hilarious." Lin Yu watched King Qi train the fourth elder of the Qi family on Chinese New Year's Eve and said softly.
Qingqing was just about to speak, when she heard an exclamation, "She fainted!" ”
But it was Su Ling'er who had been listening to King Qi's scolding, although it was not aimed at her, it had something to do with her, and she fainted in excitement.
In this regard, Lin Yu clearly saw that King Qi's eyes were not connected, but even colder, and his heart was full of puzzlement.
Qingqing next to her seemed to know more, and said lightly, "This woman is also smart, but in front of her father, she is definitely a stupid move!" (To be continued......)
