Chapter 262: Killing Two Birds with One Stone
"In this way, the Xining case is a turning page?"
Wang Zhen tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart, and tried his best to keep the muscles on his face loose after sitting down. He couldn't believe that after a few years, King Yue, who had been coerced by himself in the other courtyard, could now coerce others in turn, and the positions of the coerced and the coerced were just reversed!
Seeing that the powerful chief eunuch was about to succumb, Zhu Qiming was not happy, he slowly put down the teacup and moved his eyes out the window. "The involvement between the prince and Xining is over, but the old grudge between this king and Xining is still over."
"Hahaha······" After pondering for a long time, Wang Zhen chuckled a few times, "Yu Qian has been rumored to be too evil by the people, and if he really returns to the court, he may not have anything extraordinary!" Using one person to save the society from danger is probably the wishful thinking of His Highness. ”
"It doesn't matter, anyway, in the eyes of the internal and external officials, everyone in the DPRK and China is used, and no one is essential, since this is the case, then let Yu Qian reinstate and return to Beijing, and the rest will be verified by time."
Fortunately, it is not an official to ask for an official, it is just an official reinstatement, and Yu Qian is not promoted to Shangshu, then the deal is good! Wang Zhen regained his calm and relaxed expression, "Yu Qian's bones are very hard, His Royal Highness stands up for him, he may not appreciate it, Your Highness, why is this so painful!" ”
"Father-in-law, rest assured, this king does not look at people with personal preferences and prejudices, judges anyone out of public heart, never thinks about what returns, just beg himself not to look away."
At this moment, there was a burst of piano sound on the side of the palace wall, and Zhu Qiming and Wang Zhen immediately stopped talking.
So familiar with the piano song of "Xiaoxiang Water Cloud"! Zhu Qiming soon realized that this song must have been written by Lu Xiyao, so he listened attentively to the temple situation in his mind.
"Xiaoxiang Water Cloud" is the representative work of Guo Wei, the founder of the Zhejiang school guqin artist in the late Song Dynasty. In that year, the Yuan soldiers invaded Zhejiang, Guo Wei moved to the vicinity of Hengshan in Hunan, and often cruised between Xiao and Hunan two rivers.
At this moment, the ethereal overtones are like a trickle, like a wisp of mist, bringing the listener into a rippling blue waves, cloud-shrouded out-of-the-world resort, and the depressed sentimentality implied in the song is rendered by the sound of the piano like a cry, as if it can be heard and seen. Suddenly, the style of the song changed slightly, and the person who stroked the qin played a majestic melody with the unique chanting and kneading techniques of the guqin, showing a beautiful picture of the clouds and water. The pitch gradually rises, and as the sound jumps sharply in the high and low registers, the presses, scattered tones, and overtones are skillfully blended together, outlining a magnificent landscape of sky and clouds, and thousands of weather.
The sound of the piano became softer, as if there was a sound of clouds and water, and only knew how to whisper. Finally, in the ethereal void, the sound of the piano quietly stopped, and all illusions returned to nothingness.
"Wonderful! This song should only exist in the sky, how many times can I hear it in the world! Wang Zhen stood up straight, as if he had forgotten Fang Cai's words and words, "Your Highness, the Li family has excellent piano skills, and the Sprinkle family was worried that no one in the Chunxi Palace might win against her, but now it seems that the Sprinkle family is too worried, and the song "Xiaoxiang Water Cloud" must be from the hands of Lu Xi's eldest daughter, and the Li family is still a little bit worse than her. ”
At present, Wara is eyeing the Ming Dynasty, and at this time when the society is in danger, Lu Xiyao borrowed the song to express her feelings, and the song "Xiaoxiang Water Cloud" expressed the worries and struggles of the Chinese people, which was very suitable for the occasion, so it produced a strong artistic shock effect. Zhu Qiming was grateful for a long time, and stood up with Wang Zhen, unable to suppress the excitement in his heart.
Wang Zhen glanced at Zhu Qiming deeply, "Congratulations to Your Highness for getting your wish!" If the Sa family can return to the palace today, it will definitely be the icing on the cake, and persuade the emperor to draw up a book, and seal the Lu family as the princess of Yue, and the right to be a generous gift from the Sa family to His Royal Highness. ”
It's just a favor, which is a generous gift! Besides, you are worried that the matter of Princess Liyue will be unresolved for a long time, so you want to cut through the mess quickly, don't you look forward to the early marriage of this king and choose the opportunity to go to the domain?
This king doesn't go to the domain, see who can consume whom! Zhu Qiming muttered in his heart, but he smiled but did not speak.
At this time, an imperial attendant hurriedly walked in, "See His Royal Highness King Yue." Then he turned to Wang Zhen with a flattering face, "Father, the emperor sent you to Yongsu Hall quickly." ”
Wang Zhen's face suddenly appeared with a leisurely look, and he calmly dressed up, "Your Highness doesn't need to go back to Yuefu, stay here and wait for good news." ”
······
In the Chunxi Palace, Li Yingji walked in front of Lu Xiyao, looked at Lu Xiyao carefully, nodded lightly with a smile, and said, "Sister is as good as a fairy, Yingji admits defeat." ”
Lu Xiyao bowed and returned the salute, "My sister's piano skills are not below me." ”
Most of the concubines in the palace had left before Lu Xiyao entered the palace, anyway, they were all watching the excitement, and they didn't have enough patience to wait for Lu Xiyao who was late. Only the Queen Mother, the Empress, Concubine Zhou, and Princess Changde were still sitting there, and the Queen Mother frowned and looked sad; The queen and Princess Changde couldn't hide their smiles, and intersected with their eyebrows from time to time; Concubine Zhou stared at Lu Xiyao, her face was so gloomy that it was about to rain.
Over there, Zhou Xiaodie chased after her, looking at all this blankly, with a slight hatred in her eyes. And the five women of the family on the side exchanged their heads and whispered quietly, completely forgetting their earlier embarrassment.
Li Yingji suddenly turned to Shang Yi and said, "Lord Shang Yi, Yingji only competes with Princess Yue to test her piano skills, but this sister is a candidate for Princess Yue?" If not, we would not be able to count today's contest. ”
"This ······"
Shang Yi turned to look at the Queen Mother, slightly anxiously waiting for the Queen Mother to give a clear explanation.
"Of course." The queen saw that the queen mother was embarrassed, so she opened her mouth first.
Concubine Zhou's gaze swept towards the queen, and after a while, she could hold back her anger, "The concubine is confused, hasn't the queen mother always been in charge of this harem?" ”
The queen didn't change her smile, "My sister doesn't know, when Miss Lu appeared in the competition, the queen mother didn't stop it, this is the default." ”
"The concubine dares to ask the Queen Mother to make it clear!" Concubine Zhou was obviously unwilling to give up.
The mourning family is only afraid that the heart of the Lu family will be broken, and now the mourning family wants to change their words, how can the mourning family have face? That's it, let the emperor go to the aftermath! As soon as she thought of this, the Queen Mother got up from her seat and walked out of the Chunxi Hall without saying a word.
Seeing this, the queen secretly said, "This palace doesn't want to be open", left Princess Changde with a stunned face, got up and chased the figure of the queen mother and left quickly.
It's not over yet, wait and see! Concubine Zhou glared at Lu Xiyao fiercely, and walked out of the Chunxi Hall with a snort.
"Uh, uh······" Princess Changde saw that the people who spoke the most heavily had left the scene, and she couldn't help but turn her head to look around, looking puzzled.
The female officials were suddenly at a loss, and Shang Yi walked quickly in front of Princess Changde, "Today's matter, please ask the eldest princess to decide." ”
Did I do it to the Lord me! Princess Changde sat down dejectedly and couldn't make a sound.
Lin Sulan and the five women of the family were stunned, suddenly not knowing what was happening in the hall; Zhou Xiaodie didn't listen to her sister's greeting, refused to leave, and looked straight at Lu Xiyao, without a moment of deviation. Lu Xiyao and Li Yingji hit it off at first sight, and they didn't pay attention to the situation in the hall at all, and just talked in a whispered endlessly.
Suddenly, a figure appeared in the hall, and the handsome figure that moved slowly attracted everyone's attention. When the light in front of the visitor overshadowed the strong light behind him, an incomparably handsome face fell into people's sight, and the jade lacquer eyes looked extremely vivid against the intertwined background of the sky and the candle flame.
Yes! After a few soft screams of young girls sounded, there were several more pairs of foolish eyes in the hall.
"See His Royal Highness King Yue."
Princess Changde jumped up, "King Yue, why are you here?" ”
"The emperor sent me here to wait for the decree." Zhu Qiming smiled at Princess Changde, turned to Shang Yi and said, "You wait for a while, the official who gave the reward is coming here." ”
The female officers breathed a sigh of relief.
Directly ignoring the several pairs of slightly hot eyes in the hall, Zhu Qiming walked straight to Lu Xiyao, "Sister, I will choose a day to take care of the bride price at your house." ”
After a moment of surprise, Lu Xiyao smiled shyly, and immediately turned her face sideways.
