"Your Majesty, the concubine has prepared a dance and wants to dance it for the king." Liu Rong saw that Liu Heng's gaze had been falling on Yifang, and he suddenly had a sense of crisis, and hurriedly said that he wanted to show himself.

Liu Heng was in a good mood at this time, and he didn't get angry even if she interjected at will, and even asked someone to call a musician to accompany her. The queen was also happy when she saw that Liu Heng was interested today. He has always come to the harem in a hurry, and he left in a hurry, and he didn't stay long, let alone have the heart to appreciate the dance like this.

Liu Rong was a dancer in the dance workshop before being selected by Empress Lu, and she trained for a long time, so she was naturally easy at dance, and she danced very well. Yi Fang watched intently from the side, and suddenly remembered Chu Ruo, when she was training in the dance workshop, it was probably such a graceful scene!

It's just that everyone stared at Liu Rong to watch her dance, but Liu Heng turned his gaze to Yifang from time to time. Compared with this kind of flowery woman, he still likes the unique cold temperament of Yifang more. She is like an epiphany, not competing with other flowers, and only blooming when she is willing to bloom.

After the dance, Liu Rong saluted Liu Heng again: "The concubine is ugly." ”

"Good jump, reward." Liu Heng didn't pay close attention to her dance at all, but the surface work still had to be done, so he asked again, "What's your name?" ”

"Back to the king, the concubine's name is Liu Rong."

"Okay, the son of the family, the Liu family, is named the eighth son, and he is given the title 'Wan'." Liu Heng opened his mouth lightly, and his lazy voice made Yifang suddenly think of Deng Tong, and he always liked to talk to himself in such a tone.

"Your Majesty, the concubine has also prepared a song for the king!" Qi Zhi saw that Liu Rong had been canonized, and he hurriedly squeezed forward, "The concubine is free to learn the piano." ”

One was allowed to perform before, and this one naturally had to be treated equally, and it happened that Liu Heng was in a good mood today, so he asked her to perform together. Yifang originally thought that there was another good piano sound to hear, but this Qi Zhi was not as talented as Liu Rong. Her piano skills, even laymen, can hear that she learned them in a hurry, and it is definitely not what she said about learning the piano since childhood.

Liu Heng couldn't bear it anymore, and stopped when she was halfway through the game, but his words still saved her some face.

"Enough, it's a pity that this Qianqian jade hand is used to play the piano, and I don't have to touch the piano in the future." As soon as Liu Heng's words came out, the minions below all snickered, and he immediately said, "The son of the family, the Qi family, is named a young envoy." ”

Qi Zhi's face immediately stiffened, this young envoy was the lowest rank among the concubines, four places lower than the eighth son.

Listening to Liu Heng's words, Liu Rong was full of joy, she felt that her dance was beautiful, and she gradually felt complacent.

"Thank you, the king." Although Qi Zhi was dissatisfied in his heart, he couldn't show it directly, so he thanked him and stood aside.

"Your Majesty, since the two sisters have already performed, now it's the turn of the concubine." Wen Jiayi also took advantage of the situation to stand out.

"Oh? What's new for you? Liu Heng smiled faintly, his eyes swept over Yifang, he was more looking forward to what she would come up with.

"The concubine can sing." Wen Jiayi's face was full of confidence.

"What is singing, isn't it just humming? Who wouldn't? Qi Zhi had nowhere to vent the anger in his stomach, so he muttered in a low voice at this time.

It's just that this sentence was coincidentally listened to by Wen Jiayi, so she turned to Qi Zhi and said, "Sister doesn't know, my song is not sung to people, but to the birds." ”

Liu Heng raised interest and asked: "The song sung to the birds and sparrows, this is a bit interesting, you can talk about it." ”

"Your Majesty, the concubine can communicate with the birds with her singing voice, so that they can follow the instructions of the concubine."

"It's the first time this king has heard such an amazing thing, so let's perform it!" Liu Heng leaned back in the chair and returned to the appearance of watching the play just now.

"Your Majesty, if you let the birds fly into the palace, I am afraid that it will frighten the king and queen, so it is better to let the concubine go out to perform, and also invite the king and the queen to go out and have a look."

"Queen, go out and have a look?" Liu Heng seems to have this intention.

The queen nodded, intending to reach out to help Liu Heng, but he stood up and walked out. The queen was embarrassed for a moment, and then took her hand back in a daze. Yifang saw this scene in his eyes, it seemed that the news he heard earlier was good, and the king and the queen respected each other as if they were guests, but the king actually had no feelings for the queen, just to do some obligations.

When the king and queen went out, the rest of the palace went out with them. Yifang walked in the back position, and Teng Ling whispered to her.

"Girl, is it really credible to be able to communicate with birds?"

Yifang shook his head affirmatively: "It's not credible." But this Wen Jiayi is one of the more thoughtful ones in the family, unlike the other three who only play lip service, since she said so, there must be a way to do it. ”

"By the way, girl, they all showed off their best performances, but they didn't tell us in advance. If the king asks you what you want to perform, how can we deal with it? Teng Ling was worried, Yifang insisted on wearing such a plain and elegant dress, which made her worried, and now she is not prepared for any talent, wouldn't it be a comparison.

"Since you haven't prepared in advance, let's put it bluntly, you don't have to hide it. According to the rules, when we come to meet the king, we don't need to prepare any performances, and no one can find fault with us. Yifang looked at the three people who were dressed up gorgeously and kept coming to Liu Heng's side, and said with a smile, "If you want to perform, there will be opportunities in the future." If you serve people with color at the beginning, then the color will decline and love to run, which is not a long-term solution. ”

"The slave and maid understand." Teng Ling nodded, but said worriedly, "But the king seems to be watching the quality of these performances to determine the level of position, isn't the girl worried at all?" ”

"The family members who have just entered the palace, no matter how high their status is, they can't go anywhere, but they are just below the beloved, and it doesn't matter." Yifang didn't care at all.

When the two were talking, Wen Jiayi was ready, she signaled to Liu Heng, and began to sing.

Not long after singing, some birds flew in the originally empty sky. The birds first circled above Wen Jiayi's head, but after a while, they flew towards the small garden next to them, and they all landed on a piece of grass in the garden one after another, and they were actually lined up with the word "king".

The place where Liu Heng summoned his family was on a high platform, and the small garden was lower than the high platform, and the grass could be seen just in front of it, so everyone took that word into their eyes.

"This is amazing, it can really communicate with the birds."

"yes, it's amazing to not only be able to communicate, but also to command the birds to do what she wants."

"This is really a god, this girl will definitely be favored by the king."

Wen Jiayi listened to everyone's discussions, the expression on his face became more and more proud, and after singing for a while, those birds slowly flew into the sky, hit a few Xuan'er and flew away.

"Tengling, I said earlier that we weren't ready to perform, and now we can take it back." Yifang turned around and smiled at Tengling, already having an idea in his heart.

"Your Majesty, the concubine's performance is over." Wen Jiayi saluted again, looked at the acting king with a thousand charms, and waited for his will.

"You sing well, you have a lot of thoughts." Liu Heng smiled and nodded, "The family is a son of the Wen family, and he is a good person." Your singing is very good, so I'll give you the word 'Yue' as a title! ”

After Liu Heng finished speaking, he walked to the hall, and asked as he walked: "The three of them have performed, Dou Yifang, do you have anything to prepare for this king?" ”

"Your Majesty, please stay." Yifang said behind him, "It's better for the concubine to perform outside the hall." ”

"Oh? What is it? Liu Heng turned around and looked at her curiously.

Yifang bowed slightly: "Your Majesty, the concubine is not as good as the elder sisters, but she has a good learning ability." There are many performances, and when the concubine sees it in her eyes, she ponders it in her heart, and she learns it in a moment. ”

"How?" Liu Heng walked straight in front of her.

"Your Majesty, the concubine has already learned how to communicate with the birds with the song performed by the good man." Yifang said with a smile, "Although the concubine is definitely not as good as Yue Liangren's performance, she can also learn a rough idea." ”

"Is that true?"

"Seriously." Yifang nodded, "But the concubine asked the king to give the concubine half an hour and send a few eunuchs to assist." ”

"Okay, this king has agreed." With a wave of Liu Heng's hand, several eunuchs stepped forward to be sent by Yifang.

Yi Fang turned sideways and whispered a few words to Teng Ling, and she arranged them separately with the eunuchs according to her instructions. After half an hour of busyness, everything was finally ready.

"Your Majesty, the concubine is ready and ready to start."

"Okay, let's start performing!" Liu Heng faintly looked forward to it.

"Wait!" At this time, Wen Jiayi stood up, "Your Majesty, the concubine never knew that others would also know how to do this, if Miss Dou couldn't attract the birds, she had deceived the king, so what should I do?" You can't let the concubine laugh at it! ”

Liu Heng was about to speak, but Yifang took her words first: "If I can't perform successfully, how about I apologize for my crime with death here?" ”

Everyone present was shocked, it was just a performance, and it was about to be compared to death, and their eyes when they looked at Yifang showed a little admiration. But Liu Heng was a little worried, so he said in a round: "It is serious to apologize for the crime with death." ”

"The punishment for failure is more severe, and the reward for success is heavier, and the concubine wants to be heavier, what does the king think?" Yifang had a wishful thinking in his heart.

Liu Heng really raised his interest: "What reward do you want?" ”

"If the concubine succeeds, the king will agree to the concubine on one condition."

"On what terms?"

"This concubine hasn't thought about it yet, so I'll write it down here first, and then ask the king to cash it out after thinking about it in the future." Yifang's request is indeed a bit bold, but Liu Heng seems to be in a good mood now, if he agrees, it is equivalent to having a blank will, which he can fill in at will, and it is best to use it as a life-saving talisman in a critical moment.
