Ruian Palace, warm pavilion, the first long night.

The palace lamps on the ground lit up one after another, the dipterocarp in the copper furnace was burning in full bloom, and the faint fragrance was gradually condensed by thousands of threads, which was lighter than catkins and softer than petals.

The light fan shook slowly, and before long, the entire warm pavilion was lingering in a warm and bright atmosphere.

It took nearly half an hour before and after, and Bai Bait and a few palace maids finally finished arranging the warm pavilion.

Just as Bai Bait sat down tiredly, about to pour a cup of tea into his anxious lips, a palace maid who went to inquire about the news had returned, and she stood in the center of the pavilion with a look of urging on her face, "The monarch and Concubine Chen are about to arrive at the Nuanxu Pavilion, hurry up and prepare!" ”

As soon as these words were released, several palace maids hurriedly went to the front pavilion, and they had already begun to kneel in a row......

hurriedly straightened his makeup and knelt down with them.

Like everyone else, Bai Bait buried his head tightly, staring at the carpet without daring to make a sound, until the aisle outside the pavilion - the magnetic voice of the desert and the laughter that was crisper than the silver bell were getting closer and closer.

“…… The dance posture last time was still a little less charming, and by the time I sang two or three sentences, my movements could no longer keep up. While speaking, the two of them had already walked to the door, Mo Cang took Concubine Chen's hand, looked at the threshold under his feet, and reminded slowly: "Watch your step." ”

"Your Majesty is too modest?" After entering the pavilion, Concubine Chen's smiling eyes then turned to the person holding hands and asked gently, "Your Majesty's dancing is excellent!" After dancing with His Majesty that night, the concubine returned to the East Palace, and suddenly she didn't think about it, lying on the couch tossing and turning several times, and suddenly realized that the rhythm of the concubine's dancing was too fast, and she couldn't take care of Your Majesty...... I never thought that it was this little mistake that made Your Majesty feel so sorry for himself, and he has no interest in dancing with his concubines these days! The concubine is really a sinner and ruined His Majesty's Yaxing! ”

Speaking of this, Concubine Chen blamed herself and hurriedly apologized.

At the same time, a number of people kneeling in the pavilion greeted each other.

Ignoring those accustomed voices for the time being, Mo Cang immediately dragged the pair of jade hands beside him, helped Concubine Chen up, and then laughed teasingly, "I can hear it, Concubine Chen is blaming me for not going to the East Palace these days?" ”

"The concubine has no such intention," Concubine Chen's eyes narrowed, she withdrew her hand, still blaming herself, and said, "It's the concubine who didn't perform well last time, and she has no shame to face Your Majesty." ”

Seeing this, Mo Cang Wuxian really couldn't do anything with her, he shook his head with a smile, "You have always danced very well!" I've never been disappointed. How could I blame you? ”

Seeing that Concubine Chen's face gradually smiled, she was relieved, "Then again, although I have been busy with government affairs these days, I have also pondered several difficult actions in my spare time, and it has been fruitful. Jumping up tonight will definitely impress you! ”

"Really?!" Concubine Chen couldn't help but applaud, she subconsciously glanced at the furnishings in the pavilion, her eyes were full of joy, "Concubine can't wait anymore!" ”

Mo Cang nodded with a smile, his calm eyes moved away from Concubine Chen, swept towards several people in the pavilion, and ordered: "You all go down!" Yan Cai people stayed. ”

Under the order, the other palace maids retired one after another.

Meanwhile.

Bai Bait suddenly raised his head, and there was also a gaze.

The person's makeup is simple, and her light appearance sets off the original beauty very well, compared to Liugong Fandel, she is more like a clear stream.

She didn't see the slightest majesty on her body, she was easy-going and warm every frown, and a pair of Danfeng eyes were picturesque under the illumination of the palace lamp, and she couldn't see the original deep traces at all.

It was the first time she had seen her so closely.

Compared with Donggong's thoughts, this time, what she saw seemed to be a complete stranger!

It's not so much an incredible feeling as it is a puzzle!

Obviously, the other one she hesitated as well.

Between the two of them, their eyes seemed to be very different, faintly, but they were the same......

"This is, the first talented person in Tiansheng Palace?" Concubine Chen took a few steps closer, pursed the corners of her lips and asked with a smile.

"Wen Wan, I've seen Sister Chen." Bai Bait's words were very light.

Concubine Chen leaned over slightly, holding the person who spoke with both hands, she quietly looked at her face for a long time, and her smile bloomed again, "What a stunning talent!" ”

Bai Bait's palm slowly retracted, and he replied, "Sister Concubine Chen has won the prize." ”

"By the way, what's your name?" Concubine Chen hesitated for a moment, her lips opened slightly, "White-"

The soft voice suddenly tugged at the two heartstrings, and Mo Cang frowned, and suddenly looked at Yan Cairen.

"The Ministry of Rites Fine Diet Qing Officials Division, Zheng Wupin Langzhong, the daughter of Bai Lizhong, Yan Wenwan." Bai Bait smiled softly and replied.

"Yan, gentle, gentle......" Concubine Chen repeated, her eyes lightly.

Mo Cang Wuxian slowly stepped forward with his waist crossed at this time, and his slender two fingers gently knocked on the jade belt around his waist, and there was a long string of gold and jade tassels on the left and right sides of it, which were staggered, and matched with the tall figure, which was perfect.

Knocking and knocking, as if reviewing the beat in advance, he said lightly: "Concubine Chen, it's not too early, let's start now!" ”

"Okay!" Concubine Chen turned her head, and her expression was lit up with joy again.

Mo Cang's traceless eyes then moved from Concubine Chen to Yan Cairen, and ordered: "Yan Cairen, you are responsible for playing music for me and Concubine Chen!" It's still that song - "Ancient Acacia"! ”

Hearing this, she raised her head in amazement and glanced at Mo Cang Wuxi, and immediately buried her head and obeyed: "The concubine obeys the order." ”

Ancient Acacia ......

She thought to herself, in this way, this song did not arise from the East Palace last night......

Hesitating, on the other side, Mo Cang raised his head and reminded her, she immediately came back to her senses, and watched him fly the Qiang flute in his hand into his hand, weighing a thousand catties.

Then, she stepped aside.

Before long, the flute sounded.

He is dressed in white and wins the snow, embroidered with a golden dragon with auspicious clouds, his body moves, his clothes fly, like a dragon swimming in the snow; She is stunning in a white dress, like a flower in the river, not bewitching, only for him to bloom wholeheartedly, with a touch of pearl and jade tassel on her waist, and he clanged!

The two of them, she is like a star, he is like the moon, night and night, bright and clean......

And she is nothing more than the accompaniment, with the floating golden shadows, the hazy curtains, the soft feather blankets...... It's no different.

"Concubine Chen, do you remember the first time I heard you play this song?"

His magnetic voice is so warm that it makes you willing to fall for yourself.

"Of course the concubine remembers! That day, the concubine will never forget! ”

Her phoenix eyes were sparkling, flowing quickly with her fluttering body, full of happiness.

"Because, that day is not only the day when His Majesty listened to His Majesty's concubine play this song for the first time, but also the day when the concubine met His Majesty for the first time!"

"First encounter with me?"

Taken aback by the hesitation in his eyes, Concubine Chen's dancing movements couldn't help but slow down, "Yes! Your Majesty! Have you forgotten? ”

She stared at him expectantly, and when she saw that he couldn't answer, she immediately hurriedly recalled: "That day, there was a ...... on the Qinhuai River"

On the Qinhuai River, the smoke and rain are misty, like splashing ink rendering.

The boats in the north, south, east and west are bustling, among them, there is a passenger boat, which is so ordinary that it can no longer be ordinary, but the world does not know that the person on the boat is the emperor of the dynasty.

The fishing fire lights up the night, it is the time of the transition of autumn and winter, the cold is pouring into the sky, and several people are hugging Qiu around the hearth passenger boat, and the wine in the furnace is boiling.

Mo Cang raised his glass to drink with a few guests, and at this time, there was a sudden intermittent sound of sobbing on the river.

Some people in the entourage heard that it was a pipa, and some people felt that it was clearly a woman's crying.

Just when everyone was arguing, someone asked, "What does Childe think?" ”

Mo Cang took a sip of hot wine without a trace, his eyes were thoughtful, and he raised his eyes lightly and looked at everyone, "I think that it is not only the cry of a woman, but also the sound of a pipa." ”

Everyone was surprised, after a year, Qinhuai was thriving, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and there was a thriving and prosperous world, how could there be a scene of a woman crying while playing the pipa?

In such a prosperous era, I am afraid that such a scene will only be written in the script and performed on the stage.

The crowd was very curious, so they followed the sound of the pipa and went up by boat.

When the ship approached a passenger ship, I saw a down-and-out singer kneeling on the bow of the boat, holding the pipa in her arms without sounding, and the two frozen strings were suddenly disconnected.

The singer subconsciously retracted her fingers because of the pain, and smashed the pipa on the board, which immediately disturbed the eel-bearded people who were drinking happily in the boat, and they smashed the wine glass in their hands, and the burly and rough body burst out, and several slaps fell on the singer's face one after another.

It wasn't until two men flew up on another passenger ship opposite him, strangled him, and ransomed him with gold ingots, and the eel-bearded man who got the gold ingots walked away.

Later, the singer was invited to their passenger ship, and after receiving a kind support and a good stomach, she poured out her thoughts one by one.

The singer's name is Shen Han, and on the way to escape, she was unfortunately sold to the hands of the eel-hu people, and became a slave and singer.

Today's events are not accidental, insults and beatings have long been Shen Han's norms.

Everyone didn't believe it until the bruised lump on her body inadvertently pierced her eyes.

In order to thank Gongzi for his rescue, Shen Han said that he would dedicate a song to repay Jun's kindness.

Thinking of her injuries, everyone couldn't bear it.

However, the singer is tenacious and insists on playing.

So, an unheard of song "Ancient Acacia" shocked the four!

Mo Cang Wuxi, who had not said a word, finally couldn't bear it, and before the end of the song, he asked her uncontrollably, "This song!" Where did it come from? ”

Frightened, Shen Han told the truth, a year ago, he met a woman of the same age in the catastrophe, and they talked happily.

After that, they were separated by war and never met again.

Later, she heard that she was dead.

She remembers that she said that this piece had a special meaning to her, and in order to express her thoughts about the deceased, she often remembered the composition in her heart, and decided to let more people know about it.

She also said that over the years, she has only played this song to those who understand, so that she can be worthy of the preciousness in the hearts of the deceased.

After Mo Cang knew it without a trace, he burst into tears.

A guest, seeing his abnormality, thought that he was a merciful singer, so he pushed the boat down the river, intending to recruit her into the mansion and pay tribute to her in the future......

Unexpectedly, the singer was so ambitious that she rejected the kind guest and thanked her: "I'd rather be a stone to make up for the sky than to climb the ladder!" ”

After bowing down to thank you all for saying goodbye, the singer Shen Han got off the passenger ship and disappeared without a trace.

Half a month later, the new water pavilion and the singer Shen Han became popular all over Qinhuai overnight.

……

"How could I forget. I'd rather be a stone to make up for the sky than to climb the ladder! Mo Cang said with a smile, his tone paused and became firm, "I have never forgotten that you who are brave, bold, tenacious, and never live up to your ambitions." ”

"So Your Majesty remembers!" Concubine Chen was so happy that she buried her head in his heart at once, the dance steps under her feet slowly swayed, and her eyes were filled with all kinds of happiness......

I don't know where to start, the Qiang flute in her hand became more and more unstable, and even the sound of the flute became a little weaker.

Her eyes flickered, and it wasn't until the two eyes looked at each other that she suddenly realized that the sound of the flute had stopped abruptly!

In the next moment, Emperor Jiji knelt on the ground with his skirt in his arms, "Wen Wan damn it!" ”

At this moment, a voice without blame sounded.

"Your Majesty, this is the first time to play this new song for Yan Cairen, it is inevitable that the skills will not be refined, Your Majesty is magnanimous, don't blame!"

Mo Cang glanced at the kneeling man, smiled as if he was nothing, and said, "It's not the first time she's playing. ”

Staring at the smile that quickly disappeared, the corners of Concubine Chen's mouth twitched slightly, and she said ashamedly: "Hey, it's all because the concubine is patronizing and talking to Your Majesty!" Slowed down the whole tempo! As for this art, you should concentrate and ponder repeatedly, let's not blame ourselves, just try again! ”

Now that the song is over, the dance is destined to be difficult to continue.

Soon, Concubine Chen's proposal was aborted.

"I'm tired, let's settle it earlier!" Mo Cang looked out of the pavilion without a trace, and said: "Someone! ”

Soon, Concubine Chen was sent to Xiaoxiang Pavilion.

In the pavilion, before the tent, he signaled, "What are you still doing in a daze?" Come over and take care of me. ”

Bai Bait tried to suppress all kinds of emotions in his heart and stepped forward: "Yes." ”

It was the first time she had been so close to the desert, so close that she could almost feel the temperature on his body clearly.

She knew that at this moment, it would be too easy for her to take revenge!

But, no.

For a long time, when Concubine Chen was sent into the Luo tent, the palace gate was heavily covered, and the entire warm pavilion fell into a quiet atmosphere.

Everything seems to be heating up.

She knelt outside the inner sanctum, the dim light shining on her countenance, filled with all kinds of dead silence.

She thought the night would pass so peacefully, until not long after, the door of the inner sanctum suddenly opened, and a dignified figure walked out of it......

"Are you nervous about your reaction so much?" Concubine Chen stood at the door, looked at her with a smile and asked, and then followed her gaze and glanced lightly in the direction she had just come down.

She just stared at her, shook her head, and almost forgot to say hello.

Concubine Chen walked out the door, stopped at her side, squeezed out a smile again, and pointed to her ear, asking, "You're afraid that there will be sounds from inside that you don't want to hear, right?" ”
