Chapter 12 Fuqin
The atmosphere of the banquet became a little strange, and the noble children who were originally excited to go to Emperor Xuwen to show off their duties did not dare to go up, for fear that they would cause something if they didn't take a good measure. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
This kind of occasion is not an ordinary banquet, but the person facing it is the royal family of the southern country, if something goes wrong, even if it is a casual sentence on the stage, it is very likely to ruin the future of the entire family.
Zhao Shuxuan stared.
In the next game, it should be the queen who pointed out that she wanted to see Zhao Shuxuan, the daughter of General Zhao He.
Sure enough, Empress Yuande whispered a few words in Emperor Xuwen's ear, and then looked at the position of Old Madam Zhao from a distance.
Gonggong Zhang passed the decree: "Spread the will of the queen's mother, and invite Zhao Shuxuan, the daughter of General Zhao, to come to the audience." ”
Old Madam Zhao didn't seem to expect to suddenly call her granddaughter's name, and she was a little surprised. Old Madam Zhao turned her head and lowered her voice to Zhao Shuxuan worriedly and said, "Xuan'er, pay attention to proportion." Although Zhao Shuxuan has made her feel a lot more relieved in recent days, at this critical moment, the old lady is still a little worried about her naughty little granddaughter.
"Yo, I've called Zhao Shuxuan, wait to see a good show."
"It's estimated that she is going to run down with a sad face, just by her, how can she deal with the queen."
"That's it."
The voice that was not far away still reached Zhao Shuxuan's ears, and Zhao Shuxuan didn't care, but only said to the old lady: "Xuan'er will pay attention." ”
Zhao Shuxuan stood up, Dong Kui behind him held Zhao Shu Xuan's hand tightly, and then let go, intending to cheer for Zhao Shu Xuan, looking at Dong Kui's worried about himself, Zhao Shu Xuan smiled and nodded.
She lifted the hem of her skirt that dragged on the ground slightly, and stepped forward, with an elegant gait and an indifferent expression, as if she had long been accustomed to such occasions, and there would be no stage fright at all. When passing in front of the banquet of the guests, it made people feel an incomparably powerful aura, which was a little overwhelming. Even Empress Yuande, who is now sitting on the throne of the main hall, does not necessarily have such a powerful aura.
When Mrs. Zhao saw Zhao Shuxuan's calm posture, her clenched heart relaxed a little. Tom Lyhock was also secretly happy for her own young lady, she had never seen such a radiant young lady.
Zhao Yucheng didn't think that his sister would disappoint everyone at all, and looked at Zhao Shuxuan's back with confidence.
She is carrying the fate of the Zhao family, and she must pour out the hearts of the three generations of the Zhao family at this banquet to stabilize the position of the Zhao family in the heart of Emperor Xuwen. What does the queen think, Zhao Shuxuan knows it well, she just wants the Zhao family to have a marriage with the royal family, so that it can be contained, and the Zhao family's military power naturally belongs to the royal family.
It's really a good calculation.
The golden hall stabbed Zhao Shuxuan's eyes painfully.
Nine-fold palace, gilded copper tiles.
The person she hated the most was close at hand.
Cho Shu-hyun bent over and curtsied. "The courtiers have seen Your Majesty and the Queen." She buried her head deeply.
"No courtesy. Raise your head and show it to Hongu. ”
Zhao Shuxuan raised her head slightly, her eyes still lowered.
Empress Yuande took a closer look and said happily: "It is worthy of being the daughter of General Zhao, it is really clear water out of hibiscus, and it is natural to carve and decorate." ”
Princess Rongle and Qi Haoze, who were originally talking and laughing on the side, also turned their heads to look at Zhao Shuxuan when they heard this.
Zhao Shuxuan's cheeks were red, she was shy, and replied in a small voice: "The courtiers don't dare to be." ”
"What this palace said is the truth, Miss Zhao should not be modest." The queen smiled kindly. "I heard that Miss Zhao is talented, can you show your face to the palace today?"
"Back to Niangniang, the courtier wants to stroke the piano and give it to the prince."
"Fuqin song. Good, good, Hongu hasn't heard the sound of the piano for a long time. ”
A female official offered a guqin and placed it in the center of the banquet hall.
Zhao Shuxuan walked over with light steps and sat on the soft collapse in front of the guqin.
Dong Lai was anxious to red-eyed, how could Miss play the guqin! I don't know a single rhythm, let alone a piano. Tomallow really couldn't understand why the young lady dug a hole for herself to jump. Old Madam Zhao also pinched a cold sweat, thinking about how to clean up the mess later.
Zhao Shuxuan was dressed in a pink gauze skirt, and her face was pink and tender, she stretched out her white and slender fingers to pluck the strings, and the sound of the piano was leisurely remembered.
The tender white hands are gentle and soft, and between the gentle and slow twists, the seven strings seem to have been given new life, but they come alive, and the beautiful melody is gripping, like a natural sound. The guqin exudes a melodious sound, sometimes slow like a stream, sometimes as rapid as a waterfall.
Everyone was intoxicated by the faint sound of the piano, all the distractions and sorrows in their hearts disappeared, and their bodies were about to merge into the sound of the piano.
Suddenly, the sound of the piano turned sharply, a pair of plain hands stagnated slightly, the guqin made a slight trill, and the originally light and smooth sound of the piano became sad and desolate, like low crying, like night rain. Her fingers slowed slowly, her heart turned a thousand times, her face saddened, and the sound of the piano stopped abruptly.
"Why did she stop all of a sudden?"
"This is a good birthday banquet, why did you play a lamentation?" Someone asked puzzled.
Old Madam Zhao's heart thrust again.
Zhao Shuxuan raised her eyes, only to see her tears pouring down.
Zhao Yucheng's sword frowned slightly, he didn't know why his sister was crying, he was an elder brother, and he didn't know his sister at all. Zhao Shuxuan's maturity beyond his peers made him feel Zhao Shuxuan's unhappiness, it should have been a carefree age, but Zhao Yucheng felt that Zhao Shuxuan's heart was filled with many things and he couldn't let go.
"Miss Zhao, why are you ......," the queen paused, and then continued, "This palace doesn't understand why you suddenly played mourning. ”
Zhao Shuxuan immediately turned around and knelt on the main hall, sniffed, wiped her tears, and then choked up: "The courtier's father and mother are far away in the frontier, and they have been brought up by their grandmothers since they were children. Daddy Rongma has made countless great achievements in his life, and the courtiers feel lucky to be their father's daughter, but the courtiers often feel unlucky. Today, I am blessed to be able to attend the birthday banquet of His Royal Highness the Prince, and I see that His Majesty and the Queen Mother love His Royal Highness the Prince, and the courtiers ....."
was so sad that she couldn't speak, Zhao Shuxuan took a deep breath, calmed down a little, and continued: "The courtiers want to have their father and mother by their side every year on their birthdays. Even if they only see each other every day, the courtiers are satisfied. ”
As soon as these words came out, Empress Yuande, who was provoked, was full of pity, and Emperor Xuwen was also moved.
After listening to Zhao Shuxuan's confession, Princess Rongle was already red-eyed, she walked to Zhao Shuxuan's side and helped her up, turned her head to Emperor Xuwen and said, "Father, can't you let General Zhao return to Beijing?" Why did you only send General Zhao to guard the frontier for so many years? There were many officials in the Ming and Ming dynasties, so couldn't they send other generals over? ”
After thinking about it for a while, Emperor Xuwen said slowly: "I really didn't think it was appropriate, I will discuss with the ministers that General Zhao will return to Beijing and send other outstanding soldiers to the frontier. The three generations of the Zhao family are generals, and the style is honest and honest, and after General Zhao returns to Beijing, I will be rewarded heavily. ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty, Long." Zhao Shuxuan knelt on the ground again.
"Don't kneel, don't kneel." Princess Rongle hurriedly grabbed Zhao Shuxuan and asked her to get up.
Qi Muyao looked at the woman lying on the ground with interest, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly.
Nian Nian said: It's really interesting.
