Chapter 39: A Farewell Song
Chu Nuo tidied up his appearance, touched the pastry residue on his mouth with the big red sleeves of Huayi, added oil stains on the outside, clapped his hands and walked to the front of the Jade Pavilion, and said to the emperor, "Miss Zhao's pipa sound just now is really like a big bead and a small bead falling on a jade plate, and the courtiers are afraid that it is really ugly, and I ask the emperor to bear with me." ”
"Hehe, Princess Yun is really humble, since you can win Qing Lan's love, naturally you have your superiority, I and all Ai Qing are looking forward to it." Yun Jingwei said gently.
"Yes." Chu Nuo stepped back, took the zither from the musician's hand, and placed it. The green white and slender fingertips brushed the strings, and suddenly a pleasant sound flowed slowly through the surface of the piano.
The style of music under Chu Nuo's fingertips was a little weird, unlike any style they had ever heard.
The prelude ended, and at the same time, in the surprised eyes of everyone, Yun Qinglan danced the folding fan and came suddenly.
"Out of the sheath, the sword is murderous, the wind is rising, the battlefield without the moon, thousands of troops and horses, alone, is a brave son, a good son, a child, a love of the previous life, your laughter, how to forget the beauty, tears and intestines, this can take people's lives, is rouge, the recipe for farewell poems, two or three lines written on the road of the spring rain in March, if you can still walk beside you with an umbrella, farewell poems two or three lines, who will sing for me, Huangquan Road, if I can die next to you, it will not be in vain to come to the world, go this way"
A low and slightly hoarse voice, faintly echoing in the air, with a little ethereal, with a bit of vicissitudes, a song that should have been sung by a man, but at this moment it was vividly shown by a woman. Chu Nuo lowered his head, closed his eyes and devoted himself to the song, his fingers brushing the strings as if dancing, and a strand of hair on his shoulders slid down his chest and fluttered in the wind.
The breeze blew off the white petals between the trees, and a man in a purple python robe danced a white jade folding fan, as if it was really the sword out of the sheath, murderous. The slaughter in his eyes made people see a man on the battlefield, calmly breaking through thousands of troops and horses, and killing decisively.
At the end of the song, Yun Qinglan withdrew the folding fan, turned around with a cold face and a hint of imperceptible stiffness, and sat back on the chair in the banquet.
Chu Nuo stood up without hurry, and there was a dead silence at the banquet at this time, and even a sentimental girl was wiping her tears. Before everyone could recover from that song, Chu Nuo had already walked to the front of the Shuyu Pavilion and said with a slight bend: "Your Majesty, the concubine is ugly." ”
"Princess Yun is modest, everyone is fascinated by Princess Yun's song." Yun Jingwei was silent for a moment before speaking, but he didn't mean to let Chu Nuo back down at all.
Chu Nuo glanced at Yun Jingwei out of the corner of his eye, and saw that Yun Jingwei's face was not very natural. Chu Nuo's scalp was numb, how did he do it, a song actually made the emperor unhappy. Come to think of it, I don't seem to be out of tune. No, even if it's out of tune, they won't be able to hear it.
Sure enough, the emperor has something to say.
I only heard Yun Jingwei clear his throat and said, "Is Princess Yun's song sung to Qing Lan?" Hehe, a very nice love song, I saw that Qing Lan was cured, and I originally planned to let him go to the border for a few years, and make a contribution, I re-returned the title of God of War and the title of general to him. If you sing this, if I send him to the border again, it seems unreasonable. ”
Chu Nuo listened to Yun Jingwei's previous words, and complained in his heart, who said that it was sung to him, and it was a love song, it was disgusting. But then listen down, yes, Yun Qinglan's illness has not recovered yet, and the emperor here is in a hurry to send him to the frontier, what kind of heart does this guy who is considered an uncle in terms of blood relationship.
No, if Yun Qinglan goes to the border, then what about her treatment, the disease of the mouse has not been cured, how can she be taken away by others like this.
Chu Nuo began to use his crooked brain, his eyes rolled, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a sly smile.
The smile on the corner of Chu Nuo's mouth was fleeting, his face suddenly turned into a tearful expression, his big eyes were filled with tears, and his voice said with a little hoarseness: "The emperor doesn't know something, the prince's illness is not cured at all, it often recurs, the pain is abnormal, and the concubines see it in their eyes and feel pain in their hearts." The emperor, you are the prince's uncle, and you must not bear the pain of the prince. The concubine begged the emperor to take back her fate. ”
What Chu Nuo said is called a true outpouring of feelings, and Zuihou played a family card, which really blocked Yun Jingwei's back road, which was irrefutable.
"Alas, it's my biased consideration, forget it, forget it, Qing Lan will recuperate in the palace. It's just that this border matter can't be taken care of by anyone, can all Aiqing have a good candidate? The displeased light in Yun Jingwei's eyes flashed away, and he made a helpless expression and asked the minister in Xiangxia.
The ministers looked at each other, and knew that nothing good would happen to this banquet today, and that this border was the most bitter of all the errands, and the border was constantly turbulent, remote and desolate. This border is at least three to five years, and at most more than 10 years. If the border is guarded for a long time, the emperor will let his family follow, in case the border generals are unstable, which is simply a disaster for the whole family.
Chu Nuo knelt on the ground with a pop at this time, and Yun Qinglan's brows immediately furrowed. I only heard Chu Nuo say loudly: "Your Majesty, before I got married, I often heard my father sighing in the General's Mansion, lamenting that he had borne the title of general empty, but he had no chance to serve the country and go on the battlefield. The martyrs are in their twilight years, and their hearts are strong. As a child of the General's Mansion, I also feel very sorry, so I hereby ask the emperor to give my father a chance to end the only regret in his life. Chu Nuo's tears fell like money, and everyone present was moved by Chu Nuo's filial piety. Only Chu Qianzhan was pale, and his face trembled with anger.
"Oh? I don't know that Chu Aiqing has this heart of loyalty to the country, but what Princess Yun said is what you are talking about? Yun Jingwei's face couldn't see joy and anger for a while.
Chu Qianzhan immediately walked and knelt down in front of the mountain: "What the little girl said is right, but she can't serve the country with the court's money, and she is worried about the king, minister, I'm ashamed." "Even if Chu Qianzhan is unwilling in his heart, ten thousand are unwilling, but when Chu Nuo said that to this point, there is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire in front of him, and he has to go forward.
Chu Nuo had tears in his eyes at the moment, but he was already happy in his heart, when he married Yun Qinglan, this "great thing", the first thing that came to mind was her, then this "good thing" Chu Nuo reluctantly sent Chu Qianzhan to it.
"Well, since Chu Aiqing said so, then I will allow Chu Aiqing to stay on the border for ten years, and his family can go with him, I hope Chu Aiqing will not live up to my trust." Yun Jingwei said earnestly.
Chu Qianzhan kowtowed and thanked him, and stood up tremblingly, ten years, his good days seem to be over. Turning his head and glaring at Chu Nuo, Chu Nuo raised his eyebrows and smiled, and said with his mouth: "I am the first to think about you for this great thing." When he landed, Chu Qianzhan, who was almost out of breath, turned his back on his back.
