Chapter 30: Helplessness Under the Moon

Qizheng walked to the platform, stood in front of the main banquet table with low eyebrows, and Yingying Yifu: "The concubine participates in the queen mother, the emperor." "Get up, the injury on your leg is fine, why don't you stay in the dormitory to rest?" The Queen Mother looked at Qi Zheng and asked with concern.

Qingchu helped Qizheng to stand up, and Qizheng smiled slightly: "Empress Dowager Lao is worried, it's just a little skin injury, it's okay." ”

The Queen Mother nodded: "It's okay, go and sit in the back." ”

Qi Zheng replied, "Yes." Holding Qingchu's hand to the back, he stopped his steps and looked around.

"Qizheng, come and sit here."

Qizheng raised her eyes and looked, Youzhu was looking at her with a smile, Qizheng bowed slightly, walked to the table, picked a vacant seat to sit down, looked around, there were only Xi Ying, Shujin, Youzhu next to the table, and looked at the banquet table next to him, Wang Ji, Shen Qiuci, Begonia, Su Jingyun, and the other tables were all sitting in front of the previous palace concubines, so it seems that there is only one person missing, Qizheng turned his eyes, looked at Youzhu and them, and said curiously: "What about Wenyue?" Xi Ying was holding a tea cup and wanted to drink, and when she heard the words, she looked at Qi Zheng sideways, a little surprised.

"I dare you didn't see it when you first came up, there." Shujin raised his hand and pointed in the direction behind Qizheng, which was also the direction where Qizheng had just come.

Qizheng turned sideways and looked at it, it was the banquet table of the queen mother and the emperor, a bright yellow was particularly eye-catching, and the blue color beside him locked Qizheng's gaze, and the person sitting next to Emperor Yuan was not Yin Guifei or Hua Guifei, it was Wenyue. Shocked, he turned around, puzzled: "How could Wen Yue sit next to the emperor." ”

Xi Ying put down the teacup, raised her eyes and glanced at Wen Yue not far away, and said lightly: "You missed a good show this afternoon." ”

Qizheng looked at Xi Ying, frowned, and was about to open his mouth to ask, when he heard a voice behind him.

"Little Lizi, go down and prepare." The Queen Mother commanded.

Qi Zheng turned around again, saw that Gonggong Li answered, arched his hand, walked down the steps, and walked up after a while, leading two eunuchs behind him, holding a wooden plate in his hand, Gonggong Li walked to the platform, and whispered a few words in the ear of Emperor Yuan, Emperor Yuan's face appeared a little happy, nodded, Gonggong Li passed a few words to the little eunuch behind him, and the eunuch handed the wooden plate in his hand to Gonggong Li and retreated.

"When the auspicious time comes, the emperor will give the jade plate." Gonggong Li shouted.

Everyone hurriedly stood up and waited.

"Noble - He's Yuzhu."

You Zhulian stepped forward, took the jade card, and Shi Li stepped back and walked back to the table.

"Xiaoyi-Fu Qizheng." Gonggong Li shouted, Qizheng's eyes were confused, a little thoughtful, and he didn't come to his senses for a long time, Youzhu pulled Qizheng's sleeve, Qizheng equation was shocked, and hurriedly lowered his eyebrows and stepped forward, his knees were weak, and his body fell, but he was supported by a person.

"Sister is fine."

Qi Zheng raised her eyes and met Wen Yue's eyes, Wen Yue helped Qi Zheng to stand firm, Qi Zheng shook her head lightly, and stretched out the jade card in one hand in front of Qi Zheng, Qi Zheng took it with low eyebrows, and owed slightly: "Emperor Xie." With that, he held the jade plaque in his hand, slowly turned around, walked to the table, and stood up.

After Emperor Yuan gave the jade plate, the two eunuchs carried a rectangular brocade box up the steps and stood behind Emperor Yuan, Emperor Yuan looked around, everyone stood in front of the table, and did not dare to sit down without waiting for Emperor Yuan to speak.

"Wen Shuyi played the piano well today, and I want to reward you with something." Emperor Yuan looked at Wen Yue and said with a smile.

"What does the emperor want to reward his concubines?" Wen Yue looked surprised and asked hurriedly.

Emperor Yuan raised his hand and beckoned: "You'll know when you see it." ”

Gong Li understood, and hurriedly ordered the two little eunuchs to open the brocade box, and Gong Li carefully took out the contents of the box, and presented it to Wen Yue with both hands.

"Kite under the moon." Qi Zheng exclaimed in a low voice, looking at the piano held by Gonggong Li, he was eclipsed, a trace of helplessness flashed in his eyes, and his eyes sank.

Although Qi Zheng's voice was very small, Emperor Yuan seemed to smell what Qi Zheng said, glanced at her, turned back again, looked at Wen Yue, and said with a smile: "Don't take it soon." ”

Wen Yue looked at the piano in Gonggong Li's hand, and bent down: "Emperor Xie." Slowly got up and took it, held it in his hand and looked at it, raised his eyes and asked: "Your Majesty, this qin must be no different from other pianos except for its plain face, the emperor cherishes it so much, but what is the origin?" ”

"Haven't you heard of the origin of this instrument?" Emperor Yuan was suspicious.

Wen Yue lowered her eyes: "Back to the emperor, Wen Yue has been learning the piano for a shallow time, and she knows very little. ”

Emperor Yuan looked around and said with a smile: "Who knows about this piano among the concubines." ”

"Back to the emperor, the concubines know a little bit about it." Concubine Zhen owed, and said, "The name of this piano is 'Yuexia Zheng' is a rare good piano in the world, which has been lost to the people for a long time, and it is not easy to obtain, as for why this piano is called 'Yuexia Zheng' concubine, it is unknown." ”

Emperor Yuan nodded: "Ling Kite, you are right, it took me a lot of effort to find this qin, who knows its origin?" ”

"Back to the emperor, according to legend, there is a folk violin master named Meng Xu, the world punishes many pianos are from his hands, but he is not satisfied with this, all day long thinking about how to make a unique piano in the world, for this every night wandering under the moon, thinking about what wood to use to make this piano, and what pattern to draw on it, and finally one day, he figured out how to create a unique piano in his heart, so he only took 20 days to complete this piano, the time consumed compared to other piano manufacturing time reduced by half, the process is extremely simple, Without careful polishing, although the surface of the piano is a little rough up close, but the foresight seems to be covered with a layer of veil, just like the moonlight sprinkled on the surface of the piano, the time of the creation of this piano is unique, the pattern is also unique, and as if the moonlight covers the face, Meng Xu named this piano 'Yuexia Zheng'" Qi Zheng opened his mouth lightly, and said that, he owed slightly, but still calm. Emperor Yuan looked at Qi Zheng and didn't speak for a long time.

"Your Majesty, since this piano is so precious, how dare Wen Yue take it." Wen Yue held the piano with both hands and wanted to bless herself.

Emperor Yuan turned his eyes back to support Wen Yue, and said with a smile: "Your piano skills should be matched with this good piano, and the name of this piano is called 'Under the Moon', your name also has the word "moon", isn't it very compatible, since I have rewarded you, how can you shirk it." ”

Wen Yue stood up and bowed slightly: "Yes, concubine Xie Emperor rewarded." With that, he handed the piano to Gonggong Li and put it in the brocade box.

"Alright, sit down." The Queen Mother said with a smile, "The jade plate has also been given, and the piano has also been rewarded, and today's play should also begin." ”

Everyone responded in unison, "Yes." Just sat down, the gongs and drums on the stage sounded, everyone's eyes looked at the stage, Qizheng also slowly turned around, looked at Emperor Yuan and Wen Yue bursts of joy, sighed in his heart, and stared at the brocade box held in the hand of Gonggong Li.

"The Zheng under the Moon should have been yours, and it should have been you sitting next to the emperor." Xi Ying lowered his eyebrows and said lightly.

Shujin sneered: "Stepping on my sister's shoulder, you still treat her as a good sister." ”

Qizheng glanced back at Shujin and Xiying, turned to look at Youzhu, and asked, "Youzhu, what happened in the afternoon, Xiying and Shujin ...... words." Qizheng paused, staring at Youzhu. Youzhu shook his head helplessly, and said lightly: "In the afternoon, the emperor wanted to listen to the song, Wen Yue volunteered to play a song for the emperor, and the emperor was full of praise, and at the beginning of the dinner, he specially allowed her to accompany him." ”

"Wen Yue is playing ......." Qi Zheng said slowly.

"It's the Chinese Mandarin Song you taught her." Shujin said busily.

Qi Zheng was stunned, and his mind came to mind from the Imperial Garden......

-----------------

"Sister, I've been practicing that piece for a while, I don't know how to talk about it, wait until I go back to my sister to listen to it, give me some pointers." Wen Yue said.

Qizheng smiled slightly: "Okay, this Chuyan Palace is immersed in your piano sound every day, I just don't want to listen to it." ”

Wen Yue sighed and said with a smile: "It took me a lot of effort to get a piano from my aunt, so naturally I have to practice diligently, and after the election, I will become a concubine, how about we talk to the emperor together?" ”

Qi Zheng smiled: "This kind of song can get into the ears of the emperor, so don't be clumsy in front of the emperor, just play it on weekdays." ”

"If my sister doesn't play, then I'll play it to the emperor alone, sister, don't be jealous." Wen Yue said with a smile.

"What kind of jealousy am I, you can play, the emperor is not my alone, if I am jealous, won't I drown in the vinegar vat." Qi Zheng covered his mouth and smiled.

----------------

"It's really a song of Mandarin Flowers, my sister took the opportunity to steal the limelight from my sister, and stepped on my sister who maintained her in every possible way in the past, and people's hearts are unpredictable." Xi Ying smiled bitterly.

Shujin thought for a while and looked at Qizheng: "It's better for Qizheng to play a tune for the emperor now, and the emperor will definitely hear that the real owner of Hua Yuanqu should be you." ”

Qi Zheng's heart suddenly swelled up, a bitter smile, the idea of the book, the moon Zheng that she dreamed of, everything gradually faded away, and what appeared in front of her was Wen Yue risking death to intercede for her in the morning, and the former sisters joked. Qizheng came back to her senses and shook her head: "Since I taught Wen Yue the tune, she can naturally play it to everyone, the emperor listened to the tune she played, Long Yan Dayue said that Yue'er has superb piano skills, and Yuexia Zheng was rewarded to her by the emperor, and if it is not mine, she will not get it, Yue'er has always been my good sister, I believe she is not what you say." ”

Hearing this, Xi Ying snorted, frowned and looked at Qizheng: "Now that she has robbed you of everything, you are still obsessed, we persuade you with good words but we don't appreciate it at all, okay, then I won't say anything anymore, since you still insist on treating her as a sister, don't blame us for smiling coldly and watching you being trampled under her feet in the future." ”

"Okay, let's say a few words, since Qizheng believes in Wenyue, don't say anything." Youzhu said lightly.

"Youzhu, we are thinking of getting along in the same palace in the past, so that she can recognize Wenyue's true face, since she doesn't believe it, let her watch her good sister snatch everything from her, and the Tao is not the same." Shujin looked at Qizheng coldly.

Qi Zheng was calm, did not speak, her expression was gloomy, and she looked up at the waning moon in the sky, what she cared about was not who sat next to the emperor, nor was she jealous of Wen Yue's favor, Wen Yue's favor, she was happy for her, and she could be less bullied from now on, but what she cared about was lost under this moon......
