Chapter 126: Appreciation
(Xie: With Yu Lihua 1957's reward, Ye Shuo's monthly pass.) )
In the sound of silk music, the Yang family sisters appeared together as if they had made an appointment, the three sisters were dressed in colorful shirts, the gold and silver jewelry on their heads and bodies were shining, and the rings on their bodies jingled when they walked, attracting everyone's attention. After they stepped into the warm pavilion of the Agarwood Pavilion, the warm pavilion, which was originally extremely spacious and deserted, immediately became lively and crowded for some reason.
"The concubines and others have seen His Majesty and the concubine." The three of them knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
Xuanzong smiled and waved his hand and said, "No courtesy, no courtesy." ”
Yang Yuhuan also smiled and said: "San Lang has said that he is not formal, sisters, get up, you are in a hurry, on the flower bed by the dragon pond, the begonia and hibiscus trees are blooming, waiting for you to see it together." ”
Everyone respectfully invited Xuanzong and the concubine to get up, and the group walked and laughed, came to the side of the dragon pool, after an order, more than a dozen servants quickly rushed up, shuttled between the flower beds, and took away all the huge black sarongs covering the flower beds.
I saw dozens of flower beds dozens of steps square, spring hibiscus and spring begonias blooming purple and red, delicate petals, budding stamens, pink, golden, bright red, deep purple, all kinds of colors, each plant is competing for the lively and lively, as if afraid that tomorrow will not be able to open again, desperately swinging the branches and flowers, revealing their best moment.
"Wow, that's beautiful. It's a wonderland on earth. Although the three ladies of the country were well-informed, they also expressed their heartfelt admiration. You must know that the weather in Chang'an is cold, and it is not easy to let these delicate flowers bloom on time.
Yang Yuhuan stood in place, smiling at the beautiful scenery in front of him, but his eyes were a little moist.
"Look at our crazy little sister, she was moved by the beautiful scenery and cried." Mrs. Han lovingly grabbed Yang Yuhuan's arm, gently patted Yang Yuhuan's hand and smiled.
Xuanzong, who was walking in the middle, hurriedly turned his head when he heard the words and said, "Aifei, why are you crying." You okay. ”
Yang Yuhuan hurriedly wiped his tears and said: "San Lang don't worry, the concubine didn't mean to cry, but just now when I saw those black veils uncovered and the arrogant flowers appeared, the concubine suddenly felt it for a while, and couldn't help crying." ”
Xuanzong smiled: "You are not stupid, these black gauze covers are specially used by florists in order to open the flowers on time, it is said that after the cover, the temperature inside will be much higher, and it can also block the wind and rain." Without these black gauze covers, we would have to wait at least until April. ”
Yang Yuhuan nodded and said: "The concubine understands the use of these black gauze covers, but the concubine just suddenly thought that before this veil cover was uncovered, these flowers were also blooming in the cover, but no one knew, isn't it a little sad?" Fortunately, we are here to enjoy them today, otherwise no one would know about their blooming. ”
Xuanzong sighed: "Concubine Ai is really an idiot, she can think of these things in a moment, and she can make herself cry, and I will also obey you." Such sentimentality, how can I not be pity. ”
The group walked to the open space in the middle of the flower bed, Gao Lishi, who was waiting here, greeted him, the three sisters of the Yang family saluted him, Gao Lishi smiled and returned the salute, and said: "Your Majesty, the wine banquet is ready, please Your Majesty and the concubine Niangniang and several ladies of the country to enter the table, and enjoy the flowers while drinking." ”
Xuanzong smiled: "It's still thoughtful Lux thinks." ”
Yang Yuhuan said: "I'm afraid it's not good to drink among these flowers, pickled these newly bloomed flowers." ”
Xuanzong waved his hand and smiled: "Ai Fei, you don't understand, what did Li Taibai's poems say back then?" A pot of wine among the flowers, that is the most elegant thing, how can it be pickled. ”
Yang Yuhuan said with a smile: "San Lang still understands a lot, but the concubine doesn't understand anything, and she talks nonsense when she looks at the cute flowers." ”
Xuanzong smiled: "It's okay, take a seat." ”
Everyone sat down one after another, but listened to Mrs. Han say: "The Li Bai that Your Majesty said just now is the Li Bai who once wrote "Qingping Tune" for the little sister in this agarwood pavilion. ”
Xuanzong nodded and said: "Yes, it's him, but it's a pity that I can't keep him, and he disappeared after leaving Chang'an." ”
Gao Lishi, who was standing on the side, was a little embarrassed on his face, speaking of this Li Bai, talking about this Qingping tune, he had to remind him of how the arrogant short and fat rosacea Li Bai humiliated himself after getting drunk, but His Majesty loved him, and he had to pretend to be fun to help him take off his smelly boots. Thinking of this, Gao Lishi's anger did not come to one place.
"Your Majesty, this Li Bai is not inferior, his eyes are not respectful, His Majesty loves him so much, he said that he would leave, and he would not come to say goodbye to His Majesty when he left, and he would not mention him, and he would be in a bad mood." Colliers said with a smile.
Xuanzong waved his hand and said: "Okay, don't mention this person, mention this person, my heart will be blocked, come, today's begonia hibiscus flowering, let's raise a glass to congratulate a cup, if it weren't for the concubine who remembers this matter every day, I'm afraid I don't know after the flowering period." ”
Everyone raised their glasses and drank a glass together, Xuanzong put down the wine glass and said suddenly: "Why didn't Du Zhilang come?" Your sisters are gathered today, why didn't he come to have fun? ”
Yang Yuhuan said with a smile: "Brother is going to be an errand, San Lang thinks that he is the same as a few of us, and he has nothing to do every day?" But today's occasion should still call him to get together. ”
Xuanzong nodded and said, "Yes, Lux, I ordered someone to send a letter to Yang Zhao and ask him to accompany him." ”
Colliers nodded in agreement, and instructed the attendants around him to deliver the letter; After Xuanzong and everyone drank a few glasses of wine, Yang Yuhuan frowned and said, "Didn't you say that Li Guinian should bring the musicians to sing?" Although there is no Li Baiqing to help the fun, it is always okay to sing some seasonal tunes, why didn't you come? ”
Gao Lishi said: "Don't worry, the old slave will take a look." After saying that, a chamberlain next to him shouted: "Wang Chengen, go and see why the musician hasn't arrived?" ”
The chamberlain named Wang Chengen replied loudly: "Back to Master Gao, the Year of the Turtle Li has arrived, and I am waiting to hear the announcement." ”
Colliers scolded: "What are you waiting for? The monkey cub can't do anything, so he doesn't bring it soon when he comes. ”
Wang Chengen agreed, and went to call someone with a smoke, and after a while, Li Guinian's big sleeves fluttered, followed by more than a dozen male and female musicians holding musical instruments.
After seeing this, Xuanzong smiled and said, "Li Guinian, can there be a new song recently?" I haven't heard your singing voice for a long time, and it's rare for the concubine to be happy today, what are you going to sing? ”
Li Guinian arched his hand and said: "Weichen is waiting for His Majesty and the noble concubine to order." ”
Xuanzong looked at Yang Yuhuan, meaning to let her call the shots, Yang Yuhuan was silent, and Mrs. Qin Guo, who was sitting on the side, gently glanced at Mrs. Qiuguo, Mrs. Qiuguo was stunned and immediately understood, and said with a smile: "Mr. Li, why don't you sing the song "Qingping Tune" that was sung in my East Garden that day?" It happens to be also a flower viewing, isn't it in line with the concubine's wishes? ”
Xuanzong was stunned and said, "Qingping tune? Didn't Li Guinian swear not to sing? How did he sing again? ”
Mrs. Qin Guo said with a smile: "Li Guinian didn't sing because his bosom friend Li Taibai left Beijing, and now that he has met a new bosom friend, he will naturally sing this song again." ”
Xuanzong was surprised: "What the hell is going on? Who's going to say it for me? ”
Mrs. Qiu Guo smiled charmingly and said coquettishly: "Your Majesty, here's the thing, on the third day of the first month of March, the concubine held a spring party in the East Garden, and Brother brought a guest to participate. Originally, I didn't care about this person, but that day by chance, the concubine invited Mr. Li Guinian to sing music to cheer up, but I didn't expect this guest to know the rhythm of music and rhythm, and Li Guinian hit it off at first sight. The speculation that the two talked about, and even played a piece of music in a clear tune, and people like me who don't know the rhythm of music think it is very beautiful, and they have been having endless aftertastes since then, so I want to ask Mr. Li to sing it again today. ”
Xuanzong got up and said, "Li Guinian, is there really such a thing?" ”
Li Guinian said: "Back to Your Majesty, it is true, that day the minister did play this tune with a confidant on a whim. ”
Xuanzong smiled: "Okay, today you will sing this Qingping tune again, I and the concubine haven't heard you sing this song in person for several years, those singers can't sing as well as you, I and the concubine are tired of listening to it a few times." ”
Li Guinian shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, I can't sing." ”
Xuanzong was stunned and said, "Why? ”
Li Guinian said: "Because after I played with that son that day, I knew the beauty of this song; Unless I can invite that boy to come and play with me, it will be difficult for me to sing at the level of the day. Your Majesty, you should also know that ministers will never make do with it at will."
Xuanzong frowned and said, "Then how should it be done?" Does it have to be such a hassle? ”
Li Guinian said: "Your Majesty will never want to listen to shoddy songs, and there is nothing you can do. ”
Mrs. Qin Guo wasted no time in interjecting: "This is not simple, just summon him into the palace to cooperate with Mr. Li again to perform for His Majesty and the concubine." Your Majesty, this person is not a reclusive and eccentric person, and the concubine was also present that day, and he was a young man with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes. What is the name of Wang Yuan. ”
Xuanzong was surprised and said, "Wang Yuan? Which Wang Yuan. ”
"It's the one who gave Xiao Li Bai the title, the one who won the championship at the Pear Blossom Poetry Conference. Your Majesty knows about this person? Mrs. Qin Guo smiled.
