The civil and military ministers of the court and their families all arrived at the Zhilan Hall one after another, and after a while, Emperor Yongxu sat on the high platform with a noble woman, and the palace banquet officially began. Qingchen glanced at this ancient emperor curiously, because he was too far away, his facial features were not very clear, but he felt that he looked very much like an emperor. Hua Yaoyun had no choice but to reluctantly return to his position, because it was to celebrate General An's consecration, therefore, An Mingxia and Hua Yaoyun's seats were under the Emperor of Perpetuality, followed by the two princes - Zhou Xiao and Zhou Yun, Qingchen had seen it at the city gate, and the others were first ministers, and then female dependents, among whom there was a woman, with apricot eyes, willow eyebrows, and cherry mouth, who looked cute, but half of her cheeks were slightly swollen. She glanced at Qingchen hatefully, and Qingchen thought for a moment that this person was Miss Xiangfu Liu who stopped her carriage.

Looking at a group of ancients who didn't know much about him, listening to the emperor's boring words of praise for his father, General An, a sense of loneliness arose, and An Qingchen suddenly realized the desolation when Qu Yuan said, "Everyone is drunk and I am sober". Qingchen took a sip from the cup, and the bitter taste of the tea spread from his mouth to his heart.

Finally, the words of singing praises came to an end, and the palace maids successively brought some dim sum dishes and wine. The song and dance also began, and from time to time there were female dependents who volunteered to come on stage to show their hands, because there were two princes present, and the female dependents on the stage were mostly young women, Qingchen had no intention of watching, and was about to get up and go out for a walk, when she suddenly heard the woman on the high platform mention her name: "General An, I heard that Miss An is knowledgeable and reasonable, and she is both talented and beautiful, especially her piano skills, and she has been instructed by masters, why don't you let us see and understand today!" ”

When will she be able to play the piano? Qingchen sat silently, this kind of thing is up to his father. Sure enough, An Mingxia immediately spoke: "Concubine Liu smiled when she saw it, the little girl is vulgar, how can she know what piano skills." ”

Liu Guifei squinted her eyes slightly, and said: "Why should the general be so humble, I am afraid that the whole Kyoto has heard of Miss's talent, not to mention, today is the day of the general's triumph, why not let Miss An play a song to wash the dust for her father?" Talking nonsense with her eyes open, Qingchen snorted coldly in her heart: It's her nymphomaniac, and everyone in Kyoto has heard of it.

You can see her from such a distance, this Liu Guifei's eyesight is really good, looking at the smug look on Miss Liu's face, Qingchen's heart suddenly brightened: This Liu Guifei deliberately wanted her to make a fool of herself in order to avenge Miss Liu's humiliation. Both are surnamed Liu and seem to have a close relationship.

"Mother, Miss An is not feeling well today, so let's let my sons play a song for General An." To everyone's surprise, it was Zhou Xiao, the king of Yong, who spoke. This King Yong, who is known for his ruthlessness, when did he have a bodhisattva heart.

Emperor Yongxu was also very surprised: "When did Xiao'er learn to play, why don't you know for your father?" ”

"Father is very resourceful, so naturally he will not know these trivial matters. It's just that the sons are not good at learning, and they are afraid of polluting everyone's ears. ”

Everyone said: "Where, where, listening to King Yong's playing, it is really a blessing for three lives." ”

Liu Guifei's face was a little ugly, she never dreamed that her very favored youngest son would actually help An Qingchen come out, this Manchu Dynasty civil and military, including herself, who has ever heard her son play. Today he actually made an exception for this woman.

Qingchen didn't have the slightest gratitude in her heart, if it weren't for this Zhou Xiao, she wouldn't have used it to participate in this boring palace banquet.

Zhou Xiao beckoned, the palace people immediately presented a guqin, everyone looked at this qin, and immediately took a deep breath, this qin is made of sycamore wood, and the tail is scorched black. It is said that in ancient times, there was a master violin maker who snatched out a piece of plane wood that had not yet been burned out from the fire, and the sound was abnormal, and he made a Qixuan qin according to the length and shape of the wood. This is the legendary "Jiaowei", which is not in the hands of King Rui, who loves the Aegean, but is actually collected by King Yong, which is really much beyond everyone's expectations. Zhou Yun also narrowed his eyes, he had been looking for the "Jiaowei" for so many years, but it was actually in his hand, no wonder he couldn't find it.

The handsome and incomparable King Yong, stroking the "Jiaowei" with his hands, like a heaven and a man descending to earth, the entire Zhilan Hall was suddenly filled with a simple and mellow piano sound, and even Zhou Yun had to praise that his ninth brother's piano skills were not below him.

Qingchen doesn't understand the guqin, she only played the guzheng in college, because "he" loves the guzheng, she also laughed at him, what kind of guzheng does a man play, but in the end she still went to learn the guzheng in order to cooperate with him, she was a science girl who soaked in the real yàn room all day and dealt with chemicals, and actually let her learn the guzheng. They played the popular "Smiling Proud Jianghu" together...... It's just that this qiē is like a world away.

Zhou Xiao was stroking the guqin in his hand, but his eyes were looking at An Qingchen, looking at her indifference, looking at her indifference, and in the end, she actually began to wander too ......, he suddenly lost interest, his hands paused, and the sound of the piano stopped.

Everyone who was immersed in the beautiful sound of the piano suddenly came back to their senses and looked puzzled.

Emperor Yongxu also asked puzzledly: "Xiao'er, why do you only play half a song?" ”

Zhou Xiao said calmly: "Father, this Qu Erchen has only learned half of it. ”

"Why don't you change the plenum?" The Emperor of Perpetuality said again.

"Erchen won't be anything else, only this half-song." Zhou Xiao said that his face was not red and he was not panting.

Qingchen pouted his lips below, and he couldn't play and was stronger.

At this time, Liu Guifei said again: "Since Xiao'er only plays half of the song, then Miss An also came to the stage to play half of the song for us, I see that Miss An's face is ruddy, it doesn't look like she is sick!" ”

Zhou Xiao was about to speak, but Emperor Yongxu stopped him with a look, and said: "General An's Wen Tao is strategic, amazingly talented, the tiger father has no dog girl, the general's daughter, she must be talented, why not fulfill everyone's wishes today?" ”

Even the emperor has spoken, who else dares to disobey! Qingchen is very suspicious of Emperor Yongxu's motives, is Liu Guifei blowing the pillow wind, or does she really think that she An Qingchen is famous in Kyoto?

Qingchen reluctantly walked up to the high platform, and there was a famous piano "Jiaowei" quietly on the stage, Qingchen glanced at Zhou Xiao, and said to the palace: "Change the piano." ”

Zhou Xiao's voice floated over coldly: "Just play this." ”

Qingchen ignored it and continued to say to Gong Ren: "Change it." If I break the scorched tail at that time, you can't afford to be responsible. The Lingli Palace people weighed it slightly, and immediately went down and changed a piano. was so angry that Zhou Xiao, the king of Yong, gritted his teeth. This woman always seemed to like to disobey him.

Qingchen sat down and began to worry, the modern guzheng has twenty-one strings, and this guqin only has seven strings, how can you play the tune of "smiling proud rivers and lakes"?

Seeing that Qingchen didn't mean to play the piano with his hands, the reactions of the people below were different, and some were proud, such as Liu Guifei and Miss Liu; There are those who are puzzled, such as the Perpetual Emperor and the Rui King Zhou Yun; There are anxious, such as General An, Mrs. An and Zhou Xiao, the king of Yong. Among them, Yongwang Zhou Xiao's mood is the most contradictory, he wants her to make a fool of herself, but he doesn't want her to make a fool of herself in front of everyone.

An Qingchen has never been a person with stage fright, if he comes, he will be safe, the big deal is that he doesn't play well and loses someone. It's not that she An Qingchen hasn't lost people in front of her parents and fellow villagers in Kyoto, compared to before, this is nothing, and it's not her An Qingchen in the 21st century, it's just that this person is lost in front of the emperor.

Thinking about this, Qingchen had no psychological baggage at all, and even had a slight smile on the corner of his mouth. When Zhou Xiao saw this scene, he was very puzzled: Could it be that this An Qingchen secretly learned the guqin while pestering him?

Hua Yaoyun praised her: Even if my daughter can't play the piano, she can't lose her momentum!

Others looked forward to it, looking at this posture, this Miss An has really been instructed by a master......

An Qingchen began to play her "Smiling Proud Jianghu" amid everyone's various speculations

Posture, index finger flick, only to hear the sound of "Zheng", played a broken sound, I don't know who it was, "poof" squirted a sip of tea, and then began to cough patiently.
