Yi Xuan wore a phoenix crown on her head, dressed in a black and red auspicious suit, stepped on gold shoes, stood outside the hall, surrounded by a feather fan, and a feather fan half-covered her face. Ji Qianning wore a pink Luo shirt and stood behind Yi Xuan. Beside her, a well-equipped horse with a foal is particularly eye-catching, and according to local customs, the bride must use it as a mount.

Yixuan insisted on wearing the costumes of her homeland to hold the wedding, and the wedding clothes of the Han land were cumbersome and not easy to ride a horse.

"Princess Yixuan has arrived." The loud voice sounded, Ling Chengzhi, the third prince of Daxin, went out to greet him, he came to Yi Xuan, the corners of his mouth rose, he tidied up his robe, and suddenly took Yi Xuan's hand and walked towards the hall, Yi Xuan's heart trembled, and then he regained his calm.

Ling Chengzhi didn't notice the unusually complicated expression on the face of the woman behind Yi Xuan.

When she arrived in the hall, Ling Shi, the biological mother of the third prince, got up, and the inner supervisor immediately handed a silver bowl to her, and Ling walked to the newlyweds with a bowl full of wine, and sprinkled the wine three times with the middle finger of his left hand to the sky, which was used to thank the gods for their favor. Then he sprinkled Ling Chengzhi and Yi Xuan three times. Then, Ling Chengzhi and Yi Xuan soaked the wine with the middle finger of their left hand in turn, and played it three times in the sky before entering the table. During the banquet, the newlyweds ate grains and drank together, and King Daxin stroked his beard and ordered someone to send the new wedding that had been prepared for the newlyweds, and Ling took it and personally delivered it to Yixuan

Suddenly, the musical instrument and the song, a group of dancing girls danced in the main hall, one of which was a woman in yellow was particularly conspicuous, she was born gracefully, her eyes were like peach blossoms, and her waist was like a snake dance.

"Wonderful, Daxin is a person who can sing and dance, and that woman is really a stunner in the world!" Huai Song Zhao Yi looked at the back of the woman in yellow leaving, her eyes full of peach blossoms.

Ling Chengzhi hurriedly smiled and said, "Haha, that's my Daxin's most outstanding dancing girl Yanji, which makes everyone laugh." ”

"King, I heard that Daze attaches great importance to etiquette and music, and the three princesses must also have excellent dancing skills, I don't know how it compares with our Daxin's dancing girls, or invite the three princesses to dance a song, so that the ministers can open their eyes." The next minister suddenly spoke, his tone full of provocation.

When Ji Qianning heard this, she was extremely angry in her heart, Daxin was too rude, and she actually compared Princess Daze with a mere dancing girl. She glanced at Yi Xuan, whispered to her forward, Yi Xuan knew her mind, nodded at her, and then said: "That's natural, but Bengong is not feeling well today, why don't you let Bengong's personal maid present a song to everyone on my behalf, okay?" After speaking, he looked at the crowd.

Ji Qianning is just a maid at this time, if she dances, it is harmless, they must not let Daze lose face.

"That's fine."

"No." Ji Qianning, who was dressed in pink, owed a debt to King Daxin, and slowly walked to the center of the hall, everyone's eyes fell on her, and she couldn't help but exclaim: "Although this maid is dressed plainly, if you look closely, she is much more beautiful than Princess Yixuan." Still, there were people waiting to see her jokes.

During the banquet, one of them frowned and looked at her deeply.

Ling Chengzhi was even more surprised, he never thought that Ji Qianning would appear in the main hall, could it be that he recognized the wrong person, but is there really such a similar person in the world? The little cinnabar between the eyebrows is even more real.

Ji Qianning raised her eyes and saw the expression on Ling Chengzhi's face, and she only felt funny in her heart, and she was more sad than funny. "Emperor's Death." She tried to smile slightly, and her lips lightly spat out those two words, but it caused a commotion in the crowd.

"I heard that the ancient song "Emperor's Death" has been lost for a long time, how can this woman be?"

Listening to everyone's talk, Ji Qianning instantly wandered in Youlan Valley:

"Ning'er, when I was a teacher, when I was young, there were three people in this Kyushu who learned "Emperor Martyrdom", one was Ling Yue, the eldest son of the Ling family of the Southern Zhou Dynasty, one was Chu Jun of Chiyan, and the other was a teacher. The song of "The Emperor's Death", if the ensemble of the piano and flute, plus a dance, is the most perfect interpretation in the world. You have extraordinary qualifications, and you can understand the meaning of the teacher after listening to it a few times, which is your creation. Now that you have learned all the skills of being a teacher, in the future, if you find someone in this world to close this song, this person will be your destined beloved......"

Suddenly, the sound of the flute recalled Ji Qianning's thoughts, looking for prestige, only to see a man in black slowly walking into the center of the hall, his deep eyes always looking at her, the sound of the flute whimpering, that tune is the "Heartless" chapter in "The Emperor's Death".

Ji Qianning was shocked in her heart, she didn't expect Xuan Qi to come here, and she could also play this almost lost music, she took a deep look at Xuan Qi, stood on tiptoe and danced her sleeves, twisting her posture, sometimes as colorful as the morning glow, sometimes as light as a swift, and sometimes as shining like a meteor.

With the ups and downs of the flute, Ji Qianning vividly interpreted the emotional entanglements of resentment, affection, helplessness, and relief.

At the end of the song, after a long time, the hall erupted in thunderous applause, and everyone was impressed by this wonderful music and dancing.

In the admiration of everyone, Ji Qianning returned to Yi Xuan after saluting everyone, Xuan Qi looked at her departing figure, and after a long time, she also returned to her original seat.

Ling Chengzhi looked at Ji Qianning for a long time and never looked away, his eyes were complicated, there was no doubt that she amazed him, that day in the bamboo forest, he only knew that she was fortunate to know "The Emperor's Death", but he didn't know that she and Xuan Qi could perform so perfectly, Ji Qianning had been beyond his expectations, he didn't expect Xuan Qi to also learn this song, thinking of this, Ling Chengzhi actually had a trace of vinegar in his heart: "Hehe, I heard that the sixth prince is a civil and military all-rounder, but I didn't expect that the music and rhythm attainments are so high." ”

"The third prince praised it falsely." Xuan Qi nodded slightly at him, without any emotional change on his face.

"The Six Princes." Hearing their conversation, Ji Qianning was shocked and looked in the direction of Xuan Qi suspiciously.

The eyes of everyone in the palace were focused on Xuan Qi, and no one noticed the abnormality on Ji Qianning's face, and then, King Daxin suddenly spoke: "This king has long heard that only three people in the world can play "Emperor Martyrdom" a few years ago, and one of them is Chiyan, who seems to be surnamed Chu, if the old man Chu is alive, I am afraid that he is already in his old age, could it be that the sixth prince and the old man Chu know each other. ”

"The person in the king's mouth is the king's grandfather."

"Haha, I see, I really got the true inheritance of Old Man Chu." King Daxin suddenly laughed, stroked his beard, and nodded towards Xuanqi, "I wonder if your grandfather is still alive?" ”

"My grandfather died when he was a child." Before Xuan Qi could speak, Xuan Zhi stood up and said with a crying voice.

"Anu, don't be rude." Xuan Qi scolded sharply, and Xuan Zhi sat down, his face full of grievances.

"Hey, it's okay, it's just a pity for Old Man Chu." King Daxin shook his head as he spoke.

This time, Ji Qianning listened really well, Xuan Qi was really the sixth prince of Chiyan, it turned out that she had known him so far, but she never knew his identity, she always thought that he was just a prodigal son of a princely and aristocratic family, and she was so ridiculous. Also, no wonder Brother Yi obeys him, no wonder Peacock Palace can also see him, he is so stupid that he didn't suspect it in the slightest. Yes, it is not only the children of the Hou Mansion who wear the jade, but also the people of the royal family. Isn't the surname Xuan also the surname of the Chiyan royal family? Why did he realize now, thinking of this, Ji Qianning seemed to feel that she was being covered in a cover, and her heart was very uncomfortable.

"What's the name of the person who danced?" King Daxin suddenly asked.

Ji Qianning lowered her head and thought about her thoughts, but did not hear Wang Wei's voice.

"Qingyuan, Qingyuan." Hearing Yi Xuan call her, Ji Qianning looked at Yi Xuan, Yi Xuan glanced at her, and she noticed that Wang was asking her.

"Returning to the king, the name of the slave and maid is called Zijin."

"Zijin, Qingqing Zijin is in my heart, haha, I don't know how you have the song of "Emperor's Death" that few people in Kyushu know?"

"When I was young, I was fortunate to have a master to guide me."

"What's your name?" Ling Chengzhi and his biological mother Ling asked in unison, their tones quite excited.

"Aifei, could it be that you and San'er know this master?" King Daxin asked suspiciously.

"No, the concubine is just curious, and it's the same if you want to come to Yi'er." After speaking, Ling Shi unnaturally straightened his shirt a few times.

"Slaves and maids have only one side relationship with the masters, and they don't know the names of the masters." Ji Qianning said with a smile, but her eyes were staring at Ling Chengzhi, which made Ling Chengzhi turn his head in a weak heart.

"Fang Cai is really a dance in the city, come to the people, reward, the maid girl is meritorious, and enjoy two sets of splendid costumes."

"No."

"King Xie."

King Daxin nodded slightly, and the Ling family on the side looked like a mother, and said with a smile: "Toss for a day, the three princesses must be tired, come here, send the three princesses back to the palace to rest, and the third prince can go over after accompanying the guests." ”

"No." After Yi Xuan saluted King Daxin and the Ling family, she left the Changle Hall under the guidance of the inner eunuch.

Xuan Qi and Xuan Zhi also followed in their footsteps and left the main hall. Ling Chengzhi looked at the back of Xuan Qi leaving, thoughtful.

"Princess, please stay." Suddenly, a man's shout sounded behind him, and Yixuan stopped. Ji Qianning recognized Xuan Qi's voice, closed her eyes and sighed, she couldn't hide from what she should have come after all.

Xuan Qi pulled Xuan Zhi and walked quickly to Yi Xuan to salute: "In Xia Chiyan Xuanqi, I want to ...... with Ning Zijin said, can the princess make it convenient? After speaking, he kept looking at Ji Qianning.

Yi Xuan saw the tenderness in Xuan Qi's eyes, and seemed to understand something: "Of course you can, the six princes only need to return to Zhao completely." ”

"Nature." Xuan Qi saluted Yi Xuan, and when Yi Xuan and his party left, Xuan Qi suddenly chuckled, full of sadness: "You let me find it." ”

You make it easy for me to find, just a few words, inexplicably stung Ji Qianning's heart, thinking of the bitterness of this way, she suddenly had a sour nose and red eyes, in front of Xuan Qi, she always couldn't hide her emotions, but she couldn't bear to raise her head, smiled at Xuan Qi, the sun hit her face, and looked at Xuan Zhi beside her.

"Sixth prince, long time no see."

"You got it?" Xuan Qi suddenly felt a little embarrassed, "I didn't mean to hide it from you, I thought you wouldn't care about any of my identities." ”

"How could it not be cared." Ji Qianning turned her head to the side.

"Ning'er, I'm sorry, I ......" Xuan Qi, who has always been proud, can always lower his posture in front of this woman.

"No, it's me who should say I'm sorry, I'm sorry for worrying you."

"Come back with me." Xuan Qi suddenly stepped forward and grabbed Ji Qianning's arm tightly, and suddenly realized that he was a little reckless, and then covered it up, "Your brother, brother and sister-in-law, by the way, and Lan Xin, everyone is very worried about you." ”

"I can't go back, Xuan Qi, you understand me, I can't go back yet." Ji Qianning tried to break free from Xuan Qi's hand that grabbed her arm, but in vain, she simply let him hold it.

"Everyone has seen it, he has already married, what else do you want?" Xuan Qi was indignant.

"I just want a result, Xuan Qi, I'm just unwilling, I just want him a reply, this is the last time, I promise." Ji Qianning was a little excited, and as she spoke, two lines of tears slid down.

"Ji Qianning, does it make sense?" Xuan Qi clenched his other hand, and the corners of his eyes were bloodshot.

"You're going to make me wrong." As she spoke, she looked away again.

After the two were silent for a long time, Xuan Qi suddenly said: "Five days later, no matter what the result is, I will wait for you in the only wine shop in the north of the city with three sheep's heads." ”

"Hmm." Ji Qianning sniffed, "It's time for me to go, the princess is still waiting for me." ”

"She?"

"She knows everything."

"Then I'll send you."

"No, I'll go myself."

Xuan Qi looked at her affectionately for a long time before letting go of his hand, and Ji Qianning smiled at him: "Goodbye." With two lines of tears still on her face, she turned away and quickly disappeared at the end of the road.

Xuan Qi and Xuan Zhi kept looking at the direction where Ji Qianning left, and Xuan Zhi, who hadn't spoken for a long time, suddenly said, "That sister is so beautiful." ”

"Hmm."

"Brother Wang likes her."

"Nope." Xuan Qi paused, "Brother Wang loves her. ”

"Oh." The ten-year-old nodded as if he didn't understand, "Then Brother Wang is going to take good care of his sister." ”

"Huh?"

"Zhi'er just thinks my sister is tired."

Yes, only he understands her tiredness, so he is willing to accompany her to "mess around", and he doesn't want to regret it when she looks back on her youth a few years later.
