Chapter 18: The Phoenix Seeks the Phoenix
The door slowly opened, and everyone's eyes were fixed on it. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info saw Rong Li dressed in pure white clothes, wide sleeves and light swings, which was open-minded and elegant after refinement. Rong Li walked slowly into the main hall, the pace was gentle, perhaps because of the backlight, as if he was a fairy from the sky, quiet and beautiful.
As beautiful as him, Zijin couldn't help but be stunned, and couldn't even bear to breathe, just afraid of delaying this beautiful scenery. Rong Li smiled at the corner of his mouth and walked into the main hall. Gently flick the hem of your clothes, bow down, kneel on the ground, and salute with your sleeves. "Rong Li greets Your Majesty, Queen Mother, and Queen. The minister came late because he was unwell, and he hoped that His Majesty would forgive him. ”
Zijin tried to pull his senses back and patted his cheek. I almost fell for it. The emperor looked at His Royal Highness's Rong Li, and said with an unpredictable smile on his face: "It's okay, Rong Gongzi is flat." ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty." After Rong Li saluted again, he got up. Under the guidance of the palace maid, he walked to the opposite side of Zijin and sat down.
Zijin picked up the teacup and tasted the tea. The movements are gentle, and it looks like a classic style of everyone's ladies.
is so calm, but she can't be calm in her heart now.
"If you are not well, you can rest in the house, and you don't have to come." The Queen Mother's voice changed to her majesty, revealing a kind of pampering. Rong Li bowed his head slightly and said: "Back to the Queen Mother, the minister's body is fine." ”
The Queen Mother sighed softly and said: "It's all to blame on the mourning family, if it weren't for the mourning family's failure to protect the Rong family, how could they let you suffer like this." ”
"The Queen Mother is serious. In the past, it was the father who had committed a crime, and he should be punished. The Queen Mother doesn't have to mind. Rong Li replied lightly, as if he was saying something inconsequential. With a smile on his face, his demeanor was calm.
The emperor also showed a state of amazement. "Queen Mother, cousin Dacai, I also feel sorry for the treason I did in the past, but today is your birthday banquet, and it may be bad luck to mention this matter."
The Queen Mother may also feel that it is inappropriate to mention Rong Li's father at this moment, and then put away her sad posture and returned to her previous majestic appearance. "Yes, today is the birthday of the mourning family, but there is something inappropriate about it, so don't talk about it."
Rong Li still looks calm, like an abyss looking at Zijin opposite. The Queen Mother and the Emperor mentioned this matter today, it is nothing more than to warn Rong Li, now his backer is only the aunt and grandmother who are high, if he is obedient, she will ensure that he is well in his life, but if he refuses to be obedient, his father's fate will be his tomorrow.
Rong Li gave her a reassuring look. Zijin reacted at this time, she had been staring at Rong Li. His face suddenly turned red, his eyes became evasive, and he looked down at him.
Looking at Zijin's embarrassed appearance, the corners of Rong Li's mouth hooked a pleasant arc.
Above the main hall, singing and dancing are leveled, extravagant and flashy.
After eating a few bites of cabbage, Zijin put down the dishes and chopsticks, and picked up the luminous cup on the table and played with it in his hand. The dishes in this palace are indeed different, but Zijin feels that the food is tasteless.
"Father, today is the birthday of the emperor's grandmother, and the daughters of all the prefectures have prepared talents to celebrate the birthday of the emperor's grandmother." The crown prince Sun Hong stood up and saluted. The emperor nodded and looked at the queen mother on the side and said, "What does the queen mother think?" ”
"The mourners feel very good."
"Imperial grandmother, every year according to identity, how about we have something fresh this year?" Gongsun Ling also stood up and said. The prince looked at him with disgust. "Third brother, you usually play around and forget it, today is the birthday of the imperial grandmother, you must not forget your status."
Zijin ignored it, still playing with the luminous cup in his hand. And Rong Li on the opposite side was also unhurriedly sipping tea.
Gongsun Ling smiled evilly: "Brother Huang, isn't it just to be happy today, why bother with so much red tape." ”
"Third brother, it is precisely because I am your royal brother that I kindly warn you not to forget the etiquette and humility."
"Okay, the mourning family thinks Xiao San's proposal is good."
After hearing this, Zijin lowered his head and kept shaking his body. Zihan half-sideways asked, "What's wrong?" Zijin turned his head to look at Zi Han, his eyes full of smiles.
"Nothing."
Seriously, after listening to the Queen Mother's address to Gongsun Ling, she couldn't help laughing. Zijin admits that he was wrong, but, however, he still wants to laugh.
"What is the junior going to do?" The Queen Mother then asked. The prince didn't say anything more, just sat down silently. Gongsun Ling opened the jade fan and shook it. "We draw lots. Come. ”
A servant girl stepped forward in response, holding a dozen wooden sticks in her hand.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please draw lots." Gongsun Ling's voice was very charming, and his smile was deep.
The maidservant walked quickly in front of the ladies of the various provinces, and after they had finished drawing lots, they respectfully returned. I looked at the wooden skewer in my hand and saw the number "Wu" written on it. Zijin raised the corners of his mouth, it seemed that he could leave earlier.
"Let's start now." The Queen Mother looked at Her Highness's situation and said.
The daughters of various provinces took the stage to perform. Zijin watched the show from time to time, and then looked at Gongsun Ling, only to see him smiling in his eyes, the corners of his mouth raised, shaking a jade fan, and acting in a romantic manner.
His eyes fell on Rong Li, and he saw that he was still smiling, elegant and calm, as if he was seriously appreciating, but he never seemed to pay attention.
"Su He greets the emperor, the queen mother, the queen, may the queen mother have a long life and good health."
Looking at Su He in the main hall, he was generous, elegant and beautiful, and Zijin couldn't help but smile. In the past, Zijin used to laugh with her, and her talent was worthy of being the mother of the country. Presumably, the right minister is also cultivating her in this way.
It's a pity that after all, she fell in love with someone she shouldn't love, and this intention can only be a secret forever.
At this time, Su He had already changed into a moon-white silk dress, holding a folding fan and walking to the middle of the hall with the sound of Qingling silk and bamboo, and gently swaying his body with the music, especially boneless. With beautiful eyes smiling, she looked at everyone affectionately, and everyone present was moved. I can't help but breathe tightly. The wide sleeves are lightly swinged, covering half of her face, and the hazy and hazy makes people not see it really, but it makes people think that she is absolutely beautiful. As the music plays, it gets faster and faster. The folding fan in her hand also follows the music, opening, turning, winding, and combining movements in one go, flowing smoothly.
After the dance, applause broke out in the hall, and the sound of surprise was endless.
Rong Li looked at it seriously. Zijin looked at Rong Li, and his heart was empty. I thought he was different from others, but I didn't expect him to be the same person as Gongsun Ling.
Su He immediately set his eyes on Zihan, but he was still cold and detached.
I already knew it would be like this, but I still couldn't help but feel a tingle in my heart. With a glimmer of hope and continuous efforts, Lin Shizi will treat her differently and will find that she is good, but it is just an extravagant hope.
The right side stroked his beard, and he looked proud of my daughter.
"It's a fan dance, like a shock. Su Xiang taught his daughter well. The Emperor approvingly. Su Youxiang hurriedly got up and saluted: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your approval." ”
Su He's dance is really famous, and he is showing his edge. Su Youxiang also really fulfilled his wish.
"Su Xiang's daughter danced today, but it reminded me of Hanlian four years ago." If all the political power struggles are put aside, he really likes that smart, simple-minded little girl, that year she was like a budding flower, wearing a lotus dress, dancing in the garden.
"Can Han Lian dance again?" The Queen Mother asked.
Zijin stood up, blessing. "Back to the Queen Mother, Han Lian knew that her dancing skills were not good, so she no longer offered ugliness."
The right minister narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "The county lord might as well follow the queen mother's wishes." ”
Zijin smiled like a flower: "The right phase is a daughter, the dancing posture is excellent, and Han Lian is indeed ashamed." ”
After hearing this, Su He hurriedly saluted Zijin Fu: "The county lord has tormented the courtiers, the courtiers are just Puyi's posture, how dare they compare with the county lord." ”
Smiling slightly, Zijin didn't say anything, and walked to the main hall, where several palace maids carried a guqin to the hall. The prince looked at the piano carefully. "Can this piano be thought?"
Zijin turned to the crown prince and blessed slightly: "Your Highness's discerning eyes." This piano really evokes thought. ”
The originally quiet hall suddenly became noisy. Zijin ignored those people, knelt beside the piano, his fingers flicked the strings, the music slowly flowed at the fingertips, and the music sounded in the hall and slowly returned to the original silence.
The person who played the flute was Rong Li.
A piano and a flute are harmonious, and the Tao is a song of lingering love. In the eyes of outsiders, the two are like immortals, not disturbed by the world, the man is elegant like the clouds on the edge of the sky, the snow in the mountains, the woman is elegant and noble, like an orchid like a lotus, a match made in heaven, a pair of beauties. Zijin glanced up, only to see Rong Li standing on the seat and looking at her at a distance, Rong Li's demeanor was calm and elegant, and Zijin's originally surprised face softened. The music is lingering and sympathetic, and the sound of the yaoqin and the flute are sometimes intertwined with each other and blend into one. From time to time, the sound of the yaoqin gradually disappeared, and only the sound of the flute became clearer and farther.
Just as everyone was intoxicated and the music sounded, a woman's ethereal and tactful singing voice came from outside the hall, singing shallowly. Walking slowly, she was wearing a peony-colored floor-length dress, her face was captivating, charming but not floating, and her phoenix eyes were breathtaking. There are bursts of fragrance in the air from time to time, which seems to be there or not, and the fragrance is elegant and soft, which is intoxicating.
There is a beautiful woman who will never forget it.
I don't see it for a day, and I think like crazy.
The phoenix soars, seeking the phoenix from all over the world.
Helpless beauty, not on the east wall.
The piano will be used as a substitute for the language, and the conversation will be heartfelt.
When I see Xu Xi one day, I am hesitant.
I am willing to match virtue and join hands.
I shall not fly away, and I shall be destroyed.
The phoenix returns to his hometown and travels all over the world to seek his phoenix.
When I haven't met anything, I don't know what to do!
There are beautiful ladies in the boudoir, and the room is poisonous to my intestines.
What is the fate of the neck for the mandarin ducks, and the beards and cheeks soar together!
The phoenix and the phoenix are from me, and they have to be entrusted with the tail as a concubine.
Friendship and harmony, who knows each other in the middle and night?
The wings are flying high, and I don't feel that I think about the remaining sorrow.
When the song stopped, everyone present was shocked. Applause was endless.
"Who is Your Highness?" The Queen Mother's voice was full of intimidation.
"Caomin Jinsu, meet Your Majesty, Queen Mother." Jin Sufu saluted, moved skillfully, and was generous. The emperor just looked at Jin Su quietly and did not speak. The prince said: "No wonder the singing is so beautiful, it turns out to be the Jinsu girl from the Yingchun Building." ”
"Oh? Does the prince know about this Jinsu girl? The Queen Mother asked.
"Back to the emperor's grandmother, my grandson has indeed heard some folk rumors about Miss Jinsu."
Ever heard? Zijin is a little funny, this prince usually pretends to be a righteous gentleman, but he is actually a scoundrel, some time ago, he almost demolished the Spring Festival Building in order to see Jinsu, but now he is pretending to be well-behaved and serious in front of the Queen Mother.
"Tell me about it." The emperor, who hadn't spoken for a long time, suddenly spoke.
"Yes, father, half a month ago, the plague in Yuanjia Village was serious, and Miss Jinsu alleviated the plague by herself, and later the people called Miss Jinsu an immortal."
The Queen Mother frowned slightly: "Oh? Immortals descend to earth? The mourning family wanted to know how the girl of Jinsu relieved the plague? ”
"Back to the Queen Mother, Jin Su has been a doctor at home since he was a child, and his father once left some records about the plague, so Jin Su wanted to dare to give it a try, if he could get the people out of the pain and suffering, it would be considered a merit." Jin Su said without humility or arrogance, and there was some rare decisiveness in his tone.
"Then have you ever thought that if you fail, the villagers will all die at your hands?"
"Back to the Queen Mother, have you ever thought that once a person has hope for life when he is desperate, he will want to try his best no matter how slim that hope is. Jinsu will personally test the medicine every time to ensure that there is no problem with the medicine before giving it to the villagers. ”
The people in the palace couldn't help but despise her because she was a courtesan at first, and now they admire her after listening to her remarks. She was not only born with a country and a city, but also knew how to pity the common people, such a beautiful woman, how could people not be moved?
The Queen Mother nodded approvingly.
"Yes, Miss Jinsu, what a wonderful person. Someone came to spread my will, and today from today, the brocade is the positive six products of Qingyin, and the Hehuan Palace is given. ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Jin Su knelt down and thanked him.
"Stand down."
"Yes." Jin Su got up, took three steps back, turned around and walked out of the hall.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that although Miss Jinsu is only a six-pin musician, who can ensure that it will be a day, once she enters the palace, she will be the emperor's woman, and the concubine is afraid that it will be just around the corner.
It seems that the direction of the wind in this palace is about to change.
After Jin Su retreated, a man who had passed the age of confusion suddenly spoke: "County Lord, it is already disrespectful for you to use the relics of the previous dynasty, and you should be guilty of playing such a beautiful song in front of everyone?" The man's voice was low, word for word, clear and clear.
Lin Wangye on the side frowned, a little anxious, this Zhou Guogong is notoriously difficult.
Zijin smiled when he heard this, turned to look at Zhou Guogong, and saluted slightly. "Zhou Guogong, do you think that what Han Lian played today is a vulgar song?"
Zhou Guogong looked at Zijin, as if he was smiling, and his tone was still gentle, "Isn't it?" ”
Zijin blinked, and the stars in his eyes reorganized. Turn around and walk over to the yaoqin and stroke the strings. "Zhou Guogong may be old and his memory is not very good, so Han Lian will help Zhou Guogong recall it today."
Zijin sat down and plucked the strings with his fingertips. "Zhou Guogong forgot a little, but Han Lian believes that the Queen Mother must still remember this song."
Zijin looked at the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother's phoenix eyes were slightly red, and her voice trembled lightly, "Remember, remember, this is the day of the wedding between the mourning family and the former emperor, and the first emperor specially played the song for the mourning family." The Queen Mother said with an irrepressible smile. His Majesty also said that all the people of Tianyu Kingdom should learn this song. ”
Zijin smiled warmly, "The relationship between the queen mother and the former emperor is unswerving, and it is a good story passed down by everyone in Tianyu country. And the love and thought are the love things of the emperor and the empress Lanling clan of the previous dynasty. Hanlian is like this today, firstly, to express the courtiers' admiration for the feelings of the queen mother and the former emperor, and secondly, the courtiers' own yearning for the future. Zijin turned around and walked towards Zhou Guogong and saluted. I don't want to let Zhou Guogong misunderstand today, I think it's Hanlian's fault, and Hanlian apologizes to you again. ”
The muscles on Zhou Guogong's face twitched slightly.
Gongsun Ling shook the jade fan, looking at Zhou Guogong's somewhat deformed face, he couldn't help but feel happy. Zhou Guo's eyes are on the top of his head on the fair day, and he wants to insert everything he sees, so he wants everyone to be afraid of him.
The emperor's eyes were full of deep meaning, and he smiled. "Our Han Lian has indeed grown up, and she wants to find her sweetheart. Zhou Guogong, it's good to be happy today, don't worry so much. ”
Zhou Guogong tugged at the corners of his mouth, and replied, "Yes." But he was extremely reluctant. However, what can he do if he doesn't want to, the younger generations have already achieved such humility and courtesy, and no matter what he says, he will seem to be a small belly.
"Hanlian, do you have a sweetheart? Tell me, and I will personally decree that he be your husband. ”
Zijin showed a look of joy and looked at the emperor, "Your Majesty, is this true?" ”
"Zijin." Prince Lin said in a deep voice: "Don't break the rules, how can you question Your Majesty." ”
Zijin's body trembled slightly, and he immediately lowered his head. Rong Li clearly saw her sticking out her tongue mischievously, her beautiful eyes flowing, and she looked scared at all.
The emperor looked at Prince Lin and smiled, "It's okay, I think that the girl is so simple and straightforward." It's more likable than ever. ”
"Han Lian, since my father asked you to say it. Just say it. Prince Sun Hong said.
Zijin shook his head, "Your Majesty, Han Lian doesn't have a favorite man now. When Hanlian finds that person, please remember today and marry Hanlian. ”
The emperor and everyone were slightly stunned when they heard this, but they set their eyes on Rong Li. But I saw him drinking tea quietly, and his movements were elegant and noble.
Everyone up and down Tianyu knows that the former county lord liked Rong Gongzi, and to what extent he was obsessed. In order to make Rong Gongzi treat him differently, it can be said that he has tried his best. But now, is it the county lord who has really changed sex?
The situation is very turbulent, but Rong Li is unheard.
