Chapter 74 Privacy
The princess of the town held a banquet, and the ladies and wives of the imperial capital rushed to go first, and the children of famous families and young unmarried officials who had not yet married in the imperial capital would also be invited to the banquet.
In previous years, the commander of Jinyi Weibei Town Fusi could not make Lu Tianyang available, firstly, no one wanted him to come, and secondly, he was not interested in blind dates.
This year, he dressed in a gorgeous costume, freshly shaved his beard, cleaned up neatly, replaced the cold and full of evil masks in the past, and appeared in the garden with a relatively soft, thin half-silver Tengyun mask.
The deliberately restrained ruthlessness makes him look like a noble son.
But even if he was dressed differently, no one would come up to him.
Even if the children of famous families younger than him are from good backgrounds, they are not as powerful as Lu Tianyang at this time.
Coupled with the bitter 'hatred' between him and Xungui, and the dislike between him and Qingliu Wenchen, Lu Tianyang was completely isolated in the lively banquet.
No one dared to talk to him, and of course no matter how much the noble children who still hated him, they did not dare to openly insult him.
Everyone ignored him completely in line with the principle of ignoring him, not caring, and invisible.
Ignoring him, he will also guess the reason for the appearance of King Lu Yan.
Especially today, how King Lu Yan looks at it is different from the past, some people suspect that King Lu Yan is also here to see the girlfriend, after all, there has been a rumor recently, King Lu Yan has plans to marry a wife, although I don't know where it came from, it may not be without reason.
People who feel sorry for their daughters are looking forward to landing Hades, don't look at their own young lady.
King Lu Yan and Emperor Shenwu's most trusted male wolf bรจi were in adultery, and Gonggong Ma muttered two sentences in Emperor Shenwu's ear, and Emperor Shenwu, who has always been a good matchmaker, is very likely to marry King Lu Yan.
Some people are not happy to marry their daughters to King Lu Yan, but some people want to marry King Lu Yan.
Since coming to the garden, Lu Tianyang has always been able to see the whole place of the Skill Pavilion. A person silently sipping tea.
Until Ah Jiu stood up with the bamboo flute in his hand, he turned the bamboo flute handsomely and chic in front of everyone, and the bamboo flute was full of jasper, and the green color spread with a touch of turning, and it was the first to catch people...... It's impressive.
In the cold and snowy midwinter, the most desired color is full of vibrant greenery.
The lady who supported Lu Zige had a bad face, and someone whispered: "Grandstanding!" โ
Lu Zige looked at the person who spoke. He asked lightly, "Can you think of it?" โ
The implication. If you can't think of it, shut up, so as to save the face of your nobles.
Since she dared to fight, she could afford to lose, and the general orders she played were her highest level. If she can't win Ah Jiu, she won't have the pain of defeat, just a little regret.
It is also a shame to win by cunning tactics.
*****
Ah Jiu held his breath and slowly put the bamboo flute to his lips. The clear sound of the bamboo flute floated out of her lips, and the princess of the town had held a banquet for many years. In the competition of the art pavilion, I almost never heard the music played by the bamboo flute again.
The princess of the town doesn't like the bamboo flute, and the bamboo flute is the mainstream musical instrument of the empire's high society, so naturally few ladies will choose the bamboo flute.
Rare things are expensive, and I am used to listening to the piano. Listening to the bamboo flute itself is strange and good.
Ah Jiu also exerted all his strength while calculating step by step, and the melodious sound of the flute seemed to be able to create a bamboo forest in front of everyone's eyes, hidden in the depths of the bamboo forest. There seems to be a pair of Yaoyao looking at each other and loving each other.
The man is handsome and dashing. The woman is graceful and beautiful, and they stand together like the most compatible pair.
โฆโฆ
Lu Tianyang's arm trembled, his eyes became a little solemn, and his lips pursed into a line.
Liu Tiecheng touched his head and muttered in a low voice: "How can you feel like you are in love with life and death?" This song seems sad and joyful. โ
As soon as the tune turned, the melodious and euphemistic bamboo flute music turned clear and sharp, as if the love affair between men and women had been discovered and was not tolerated by the world...... In the face of strong pressure, the pair of men and women were not crushed and separated, but stood together persistently to face the battle together.
If you want to make the audience fall in love, you must first fall in love.
A hint of pain appeared in Ah Jiu's bright eyes...... I almost pressed the wrong sound hole, and quickly turned to the second half of the piece, the tranquility and tranquility after the storm, but there was an unspeakable sadness hidden in the tranquility.
Slowly the music faded away, no need to say it explicitly, everyone could hear that the man and woman who were affectionate to each other were not together, the world could not separate them, but life and death could!
Bang, when everyone was immersed in the already created by the music, lamenting the separation of men and women due to life and death, the sound of the tea cup falling to the ground made everyone sober up.
Hula, the person hidden behind the bead curtain walked out violently.
"Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess."
The princess of the town mayor, who rarely showed up, had silver hair, and her resolute face was overflowing with anger, sadness, and irrepressible remembrance, "How dare you?!" โ
The county lord of Zhaohua originally wanted to speak for Ah Jiu, but under her mother's anger, she could only close her lips.
How dare she?!
The eldest princess hasn't been so angry all these years!
Ah Jiu was also taken aback by the angry eldest princess, strictly speaking, she didn't want to anger the eldest princess she admired the most, and thought about leaving a good impression on the eldest princess, even if she couldn't get close to the eldest princess, she didn't want to be hated by the eldest princess.
"The wise see the wise, and the benevolent see the benevolent."
Ah Jiu bit his lip and clenched the bamboo flute in his hand, "It's just a remnant." โ
"Since it's a remnant score, you can make a sequel to complete it, why...... Why is it like this? โ
The eldest princess can't suppress the sadness in her heart at all, the loneliness of a lonely goose, and the beautiful memories of the past, every time she can draw a wound in her heart, it accumulates a lot, and it hurts more and more, not because she can't let go of the empire, the eldest princess may have gone with her husband a long time ago.
She had already made him wait on the bridge for too long, and if she didn't go, I wondered if he would keep waiting.
"I thought this continuation was the most moving." Ah Jiu didn't want the eldest princess to be too sad, let alone mention the more touching words of the tragedy, and she couldn't say the sentimentality in her heart to anyone, "If the two love for a long time, how can it be in the morning and twilight." โ
The eldest princess's face turned pale, and her fingertips sank into her palms, "I don't like this song, give you a chance to change it." Re-arrangement. โ
"The article is made by nature, and the magic hand gets it."
Ah Jiu smiled faintly: "I couldn't find the mood when I continued the song at that time, so I reluctantly continued it, but unfortunately this remnant song is suspected of being a dog's tail continuation mink." In fact, even if yin and yang are separated, their hearts will always be connected. We all want each other to be happy. There is hope in the finale...... Hope for the next reunion. โ
"Little girl, if you understood what life and death are, you wouldn't say that."
โโฆโฆโ
Ah Jiu lowered his head slightly, thinking irritably, what did he think at that time? Why is there a feeling of sadness?
Lu Zige stepped forward and said, "I lost." โ
"No!"
The eldest princess pursed her lips and smiled. "The loser is Mo Xinyi! I don't like the bamboo flute, I don't like this piece. โ
Ah Jiu raised his head and looked at the eldest princess, and saw willfulness and domineering in the eyes of the eldest princess. is exactly the same as the county lord Zhaohua who was embarrassed by Uncle Lu at that time, and she really deserves to be a mother and daughter.
"Her Royal Highness the eldest princess is right. I lost, in terms of technique and artistic conception, I lost to Miss Lu. โ
Ah Jiu didn't have to fight for right and wrong as before, no matter who he was in front of, he wanted to explain the truth to the end. After a blessing, Ah Jiu turned around and returned to the ladies and smiled apologetically: "I'm sorry." I lost. โ
The princess of the town obviously showed her dislike for Ah Jiu, which made the ladies from Wenchen show their alienation. Someone muttered, "It's average, and I still refuse to listen to persuasion." โ
Ah Jiu smiled faintly, whether it was Wenchen and Xungui, they couldn't help the princess of the town, and only the princess of the town was the most transcendent in the empire, even the prince of An Guo couldn't compare.
Even the young lady from the Wenchen system is looking forward to being selected as the purple shirt guard next to the princess of the town mayor.
The eldest princess pulled Lu Zige to talk with a pleasant face, and admired the general order she played, and even gave her the jade jue that only the purple shirt guard could wear, so as to show that Lu Zige was one step away from the purple shirt guard. "Sister Ah Jiu, wait."
Seeing Ah Jiu leaving alone, Zhuge hesitated for a moment, got up and chased out. Situ Shi, who was next to her, picked up the teacup and took a sip, neither got up to marry Ah Jiu, nor fell into the well like others, and said lightly: "Being able to be weak in front of the eldest princess is enough to prove that Miss Mo is outstanding." โ
It wasn't Ah Jiu who failed at all, but I was afraid that Lu Zige, who was praised by the eldest princess at this time, also understood, so Lu Zige's face didn't see any joy, but a little aggrieved.
But...... The Situ family can't be as willful as Miss Zhuge , before she understands the true intentions of the eldest princess, she had better distance herself from Ah Jiu, not to mention that the Situ family and the Jiang family will always have a fight.
******
"Your Excellency?!"
"Huh?"
King Lu Yan asked suspiciously, "Something?" โ
Liu Tiecheng was in a hurry next to him, Miss Ah Jiu was deeply hurt, how could the adults be indifferent? Even if you can't help Miss Ah Jiu in front of the eldest princess, you should comfort a few words afterwards, "Just now my subordinates saw that Miss Jiu went to the east. โ
"Hmm."
"Adults aren't worried about Miss Nine?"
"She didn't lose, so why should I worry about her." King Lu Yan pressed the mask, wiped away the fluctuations in his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "She has enough limelight to be able to retreat in front of the eldest princess under the rage, and only Ah Jiu can do it in the entire empire." โ
Lu Tianyang's eyes implied a hint of literary playfulness, and he could still paste the eldest princess's gloomy expression, "I only made Ah Jiu too proud in the past, but today her appearance is perfect, much more mature than before." โ
Liu Tiecheng: "......" was speechless, obviously unable to keep up with the train of thought of Lord Lu and Miss Nine.
"It's not Ah Jiu's niece who really needs to be reflected......"
Lu Tianyang's throat was slightly bitter, but it was him! His strength and power can't make Ah Jiu act rashly, in fact, he wants Ah Jiu to be mature more than anyone else, and maturity means understanding compromise.
There are also those ladies who are alienated from Ah Jiu because of the eldest princess's preferences, if he is strong enough, even if he has a higher status than the eldest princess, even if Ah Jiu loses, they will lose well!
There is no doubt that the discipline of famous ladies can be thrown away at any time in the face of power.
The taller they are, the more they cherish the authority in their hands, and the more they care about the preferences of people with higher status than them.
*****
After the old lady heard that Ah Jiu failed in the competition, she said angrily: "Useless things, how good is it usually blown, and it's not a loss?!" โ
"Grandmother, Sister Ah Jiu is still glorious despite defeat." Mo Xinqing persuaded in a low voice, "Miss Lu's talent is excellent, few people can compare, it's not Her Royal Highness the eldest princess who judges, it's not certain who loses and who wins." โ
"Even if she loses, she also loses, since she also loses when she goes up, it is better to let Yue'er go, at least Yue'er will not lose the competition and offend Her Royal Highness the eldest princess."
The old lady got up, pulled Nangong Yue and said, "Let's go, go with me to meet Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, our Mo family will have a new competition." โ
"Grandmother ......"
After Nangong Yue listened to the general's order and Ah Jiu's bamboo flute, she knew that she was simply making a fool of herself when she went, and tried her best to stop the old lady, "Forget it, I will make Ah Jiu's cousin even more ugly, and the second uncle will think that I don't know the importance after knowing it, after all, I don't have the surname Mo." โ
"He dares!"
The old lady had a lot of strength, and almost dragged Nangong Yue forward, "He still dares to dislike you?" I don't want to think about how he would be today without me. I'm afraid I'll starve to death long ago. โ
Mo Xinqing frowned slightly as she listened, and was about to speak, when Cui'er said in her ear: "It's already arranged, the second lady went to Hantan alone." "Hmm."
In the eldest princess's garden, Mo Xinqing had to be even more careful, she had to watch it in person to rest assured.
Mo Xinqing was supported by Cui'er and stayed away from the old lady who went straight to the eldest princess.
After the menacing old lady saw the princess of the town at the door, she immediately stopped, her forehead was drenched in cold sweat, as if she had seen a ghost, Nangong Yue asked, "Grandmother?" โ
"I have a headache, no, my chest hurts, Yue'er, help me to rest for a while."
โโฆโฆ Be. โ
Nangong Yue secretly rejoiced that she didn't have to make a fool of herself, today she realized that she was not only inferior to Ah Jiu's cousin, but also inferior to many people, she was also known as a talented woman in her hometown, she was also fluttering, and she thought that her talent was unparalleled in the world, and now she realized how ridiculous her pride was.
The old lady's breath was much smoother after she stayed away from the princess of the town, her face was still pale, her hands covered her chest, and she calmed down for a while, "Sister Yue'er, you don't have to accompany me, it will be good for you to have more fellowship with people." โ
"Grandmother's body?"
"I just...... It's just that Ah Jiu is angry, and he doesn't matter. โ
Nangong Yue was sent away, and the old lady could no longer hide her shock, "How come?" How so? How could that person be the eldest princess? โ
*****
"Sister Ah Jiu."
"I'm fine, Sister Zhuge don't have to worry."
Ah Jiu and Zhuge walked hand in hand in the garden, the slight cool air was wafting with the fragrance of flowers, Ah Jiu was not depressed at all, Zhuge nodded and said, "I really don't have to worry about you." โ
"Hey, the flower garden ahead? Glass planters? โ
"Hmm."
Zhuge nodded enviously, "The eldest princess likes peonies, and the best peony flowers in the entire empire are planted here, no matter spring, summer, autumn or winter, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess can see the peonies in full bloom." (To be continued)
