Chapter 148: Amazing Performance

Cao Deshun immediately bowed down and saluted, "The grass people have thanked Your Majesty Longen, and my Cao family will definitely abide by the law and be a good citizen who guards himself." ”

Li Yu nodded, looked at Cui Daoshu and asked, "Cui Gongzi, last year's three songs, and the "One Cut Plum" and "Nanxiangzi" that you wrote when you came to Jinling, are they all written by Nalan Rongruo?" ”

"Returning to Your Majesty, it is true. It's all the work of Mr. Nalan. ”

Li Yu sighed: "It's a pity! It's really sad that such an amazing and brilliant character can't be seen! ”

Emperor Zhou E asked: "Young Master Cui, this palace is very much looking forward to the three new words you brought, I don't know what the level is?" ”

Cui Daoshu said with a smile: "I will not disappoint Your Majesty and the Empress." ”

Li Yu said eagerly: "Quickly call Qi Jiuniang to come in and sing for the widow and the queen." ”

Emperor Zhou E also said: "I have heard the name of Qi Jiuniang for a long time, but I have never had the opportunity to see it, so I want to see it well today." ”

Guo Neishou went out immediately, and soon brought Qi Jiuniang and the three piano masters in. Qi Jiuniang and the pianist saluted Li Yu and Zhou Ehuang respectfully, and then stood in place with their heads bowed.

Emperor Zhou E said: "Guo Neishi, bring chairs for the pianist and let them sit and play." ”

After a while, several eunuchs brought three chairs and placed them in the middle of the palace.

The three musical instruments were the pipa, the qin, and the flute, and the chamberlain brought a low table and placed the piano on it.

The three violinists confessed, sat down with their instruments in their arms, and began to audition.

Qi Jiuniang stood facing Li Yu, closed her eyes for a moment, adjusted her mood, opened her eyes, nodded to the pianist, and prepared to start singing.

When the pianist plays, the tune is ethereal and tactful, and it is very beautiful.

Qi Jiuniang lightly opened her lips and began to sing:

"If life is only as it first sees,

What's the autumn wind sad painting fan.

Waiting for idle changes but old people's hearts,

But the old way is that people's hearts are fickle.

Lishan language is half a night,

Tears and rain rain bell will not complain in the end.

What a lucky brocade Lang,

Wishing on the day! ”

Qi Jiuniang's singing voice is soft and sad, very beautiful and beautiful. The people in the palace were immersed in it and couldn't extricate themselves.

Emperor Zhou E was teary-eyed and cried in a low voice. Then he looked at Li Yu, meaning to ask him, are you the Bo Xing Jinyi Lang?

Li Yu hurriedly said: "The queen can rest assured, the widow will not be like Li Longji, who is desperate like this." ”

Cui Daoshu laughed secretly in his heart, according to historical records, Li Yu will soon get together with his sister-in-law Zhou Jiamin, how can he not be 'Bo Xing Jinyilang'!

He suddenly thought, no! According to historical records, Emperor Zhou E will soon die! He recalled that this year, Emperor Zhou E was seriously ill, and Li Yu had an affair with his sister-in-law. After Emperor Zhou E found out, the illness became more and more serious, and later the son she gave birth to also died, and Emperor Zhou E died!

Cui Daoshu looked at Emperor Zhou E's beautiful face, and felt very sorry in his heart.

At the end of the song, everyone recalled Qi Jiuniang's excellent performance, and no one spoke out loud.

The more Cui Daoshu looks at Qi Jiuniang, the more he likes it. Her voice is very similar to the superstar Faye Wong in later generations, both of which are soft and ethereal styles.

Li Yu came back to his senses and said loudly: "Guo Neishi, look at the reward!" Qi Jiuniang really lives up to her reputation and sings very well! ”

Emperor Zhou E wiped his eyes with a handkerchief and said slowly: "What an outstanding woman!" The singing skills are amazing. ”

Guo Neishou brought a tray with some silver ingots on it.

Qi Jiuniang hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly.

Li Yu asked with some confusion: "Qi Jiuniang, why are you like this?" ”

Qi Jiuniang's forehead was already broken, and blood was flowing. Cui Daoshu immediately went over and pressed her wound with a handkerchief.

Qi Jiuniang said sadly: "Your Majesty, the slave family doesn't want to be rewarded, just want to ask Your Majesty for something." ”

"Tell me about it." Li Yu was curious.

"The slave family and Cui Gongzi are in love, and they have been privately agreed for life."

"That's a good thing, isn't it? Why are you so sad? ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the slave family was born in the 'Fengsong Pavilion', yesterday, Mr. Cao sent someone to redeem the slave family, but the owner refused. Before entering the palace today, he also sent people to intercept the slave family at the gate of Cao's mansion. Fortunately, the guards of the Cao Mansion beat them away. Only the slave family can enter the palace to perform for His Majesty and the Empress. ”

Li Yu smiled and waved his hand, "It's nothing, it's a trivial matter." Guo Neishi, you call Zan Xin in. ”

Guo Neizhi went out and soon came in with General Zhan.

Zan Xin saluted Li Yu and Emperor Zhou E, and then stood respectfully.

Li Yu said: "Commander Zan, you go to Fengsong Pavilion now, get Qi Jiuniang's document of selling her body, and say that she has been requisitioned by the royal family and wants to enter the Sect Division." If the proprietor wants money, he will go to Cao's Mansion to get it, and he will not be treated badly. If he doesn't know each other, the lion opens his mouth, and you will lead someone to smash the Wind Pine Pavilion. ”

Zan Xin agreed and walked out with his head held high. Before leaving, he also squeezed his eyebrows and winked at Cui Daoshu.

Emperor Zhou E said warmly: "Qi Jiuniang, get up." Your Majesty has fulfilled your marriage with Cui Gongzi, and I hope you can grow old together. Cui Gongzi, you can't be that 'Bo Xingjin Lang'! ”

Cui Daoshu Khan came down, and hurriedly said: "No, absolutely not!" ”

Qi Jiuniang stood up and shyly pulled Cui Daoshu's clothes, her face flushed.

Li Yu laughed loudly: "Haha! Sure enough, it's a pair of beautiful people! Queen, isn't she? ”

Emperor Zhou E also said with a smile: "What Your Majesty said is that Cui Gongzi is personable, Qi Jiuniang is both beautiful and artistic, and the two are a perfect match!" ”

Cui Daoshu and Qi Jiuniang re-gave the salute and thanked Li Yu and Zhou Ehuang.

Xu Xuan and Cao Deshun next to him also breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to themselves, this Qi Jiuniang is also bold enough, thanks to Li Yu being a benevolent monarch, and he is in a good mood today, so Qi Jiuniang took the risk and succeeded.

Zhou Ehuang said: "Qi Jiuniang, you sing very well, this 'Mulan Ci' can be said to be a famous story through the ages. Is it also the work of Nalan Rongruo? ”

Cui Daoshu said respectfully: "Returning to the queen's mother, it is indeed Mr. Nalan's work. ”

Emperor Zhou E continued: "The palace is very much looking forward to the other two songs, Qi Jiuniang, you have a wound on your head, can you still sing?" ”

Qi Jiuniang wiped her forehead and said, "If the slave family is not in the way, he can sing." ”

Li Yu said: "Guo Neishi, you take her down to bandage her and let her rest for a while." ”

Guo Neishou took Qi Jiuniang out, and Li Yu began to carefully inquire about Cui Daoshu and Nalan Rongruo's life deeds. Cui Daoshu had no choice but to play on the spot and began to make up stories.

He said a lot of things in a foggy way, and only then did he perfunctory Li Yu.

At this time, Qi Jiuniang came in, with a white silk silk wrapped around her forehead.

She bowed deeply to Li Yu, then nodded to the pianist and prepared to start the performance. The pianist played the music, and Qi Jiuniang sang:

"When is the spring flower and autumn moon,

How much do you know about the past?

Xiaolou had an east wind last night,

The old garden is unbearable to look back at the moonlight.

The carved fence and jade masonry should still be there,

It's just that Zhu Yan changed.

Ask how much sorrow you can have,

Just like a river flowing eastward! ”

Qi Jiuniang sang three times in Wu Nong's soft language, and the singing was graceful and listening, which made everyone present fascinated, and Emperor Zhou E was sad and wiped away tears.

Li Yu was amazed, stood up excitedly, and said loudly: "Okay! Very good! What a masterpiece! Come on, there are many rewards! Qi Jiuniang, you are not allowed to refuse. ”

Emperor Zhou E calmed down and said, "Your Majesty, you forgot, Cui Gongzi is from a wealthy family and has a big family. You don't have to reward Qi Jiuniang, just reward those piano masters. ”

"Okay, just follow the queen, and reward the luthier!"

Guo Neishou put the tray in front of the violinist, and the three violinists hurriedly came over to bow down and thanked Li Yu for his reward.

Cui Daoshu laughed secretly in his heart, this "Poppy Beauty" is Li Yu's masterpiece! More than ten years later, the army of the Great Song Dynasty broke through Jinling City, and Li Yu was captured and went to Bianliang City. He composed this eternal swan song, and then was poisoned by Zhao Er.

Cui Daoshu hid his heart, afraid that Li Yu would be sensitive, so he changed the 'old country' to the 'old garden'. Sure enough, it was fooled.

Li Yu said eagerly: "Qi Jiuniang, you can sing the next song immediately!" The widow is looking forward to it! ”

Qi Jiuniang smiled slightly and nodded to the pianist. The luthier began to play again.

Qi Jiuniang opened her mouth and sang:

"What is the love of the world? Straight religion promises life and death. There are double flyers in the south and the north, and the old wings have been cold and hot several times. Happy and fun, parting bitter, there are even more crazy children. You should have a saying, thousands of miles of stratus clouds, thousands of mountains and twilight snow, who does the shadow go to?

Hengfen Road, lonely and drummed. The smoke is still calm. The soul is a little more groaning, and the mountain ghosts are crying in the wind. Heaven and earth are jealous, unbelievable, warblers and swallows are loess. Through the ages, in order to stay for the people, he sang and drank wildly, and visited Yanqiu. ”

This time, Li Yu was also so sad that he couldn't help himself and shed tears. Emperor Zhou E couldn't cry anymore, bowing his head and wiping his tears.

After Qi Jiuniang finished singing, she also cried bitterly, grabbing Cui Daoshu's clothes. Cui Daoshu wiped her tears with a handkerchief and comforted her in a low voice.

There was a whimpering cry in the palace, and it was a few palace maids standing next to him who were crying.

Li Yu settled down and said, "Cui Gongzi, these three songs are all famous pieces that can be passed down through the ages. The widow opened his eyes today, and he could hear Qi Jiuniang's moving singing voice, and he saw such wonderful words. What a blessing in life! ”

Cui Daoshu said a few words of humility, and bowed down with Qi Jiuniang.

Emperor Zhou E opened his mouth and said: "Your Majesty, after listening to Qi Jiuniang's singing, the concubine felt that her blood was surging, and she wanted to go out for a walk and breathe. ”

Li Yu thought about it and said: "Okay, now that the spring flowers are blooming and the wind is beautiful outside, let's go to the Imperial Garden for a walk." ”

Guo Neishou hurriedly pushed open the gate of the palace, and Li Yu took Zhou Ehuang's hand and walked out first.

He smiled and said, "Xu Qing, Mr. Cao, Cui Gongzi, Qi Jiuniang, you follow." Everyone else stepped back. ”

Everyone respectfully followed behind and walked out of the Rouyi Palace. It was sunny outside and the weather was excellent.

Guo Neizhi led the way in front, and everyone walked along the path to the depths of the bamboo forest.

Following the winding path and through the bamboo forest, the group came to a chic garden.
