As soon as these words came out, they attracted everyone's attention.

Ji Xingchen stopped what he was doing, looked at her with wide eyes and incredulously, his bright eyes were half grateful and half surprised.

The expressions of the people present were different, as if they were thinking about what she was doing this for. A noble girl from the Bofu who was sent out to be raised at the age of seven, a chivalrous man from the rivers and lakes who had returned from the folk cult, actually wanted to play with the first talented woman in the capital at the public Mid-Autumn Festival banquet? If this was not self-inflicted humiliation, what could it be for? Could it be that the Taiwei Mansion intended to establish a relationship with the Prime Minister's Mansion, so that with the help of the Prime Minister's power, he could firmly hold the civil and military officials in his own hands?

If the Taiwei and the Prime Minister form a party, it will be the largest party in the imperial court. If this is the case, what they support will never be the crown prince produced by themselves, but the four princes produced by the noble concubine. The crown prince is about to weaken the crown, and the fourth prince is only fourteen years old this year, the saint is in strong health, and he will not die in a short time, and the fourth prince is younger than the prince, so he has more opportunities to inherit the throne. The queen thought for a moment in her heart, it seems that she must find a high-ranking princess for the crown prince.

"Then I will allow you to play with the stars, but this palace wants to learn this folk flavor of the piano music. The queen said slowly.

Ye Luwu got up and saluted, and sat down opposite Ji Xingchen.

She naturally worked hard to learn the qin music in the Bofu when she was a child, but later in Lanmen, she didn't have the time and opportunity to study it, so she gradually became unfamiliar. But even so, it is not unprepared for her statement today to explain Ji Xingchen's predicament, otherwise she would really want the queen to use this as a note to accuse the Bofu and the Taiwei Mansion.

Although her master, Shangguan Xiao, is a wind soul power, he does not delve into the auxiliary method as usual, but the sword goes off the rails and creates a set of attack methods of his own. He was a musician before he joined Arashimon, and he was obsessed with music. And after practicing the Lanmen technique, he never gave up playing the qin, he mixed his soul power into the qin sound, which can spread the attack range to the extreme, and the qin sound can spread far and far under the blessing of soul power. The two complement each other, and it is a wonderful technique.

Ye Luwu is a fire soul power, so her strength is hand-to-hand combat, so she was very curious about Shangguan Xiao's fighting style, so she pestered him to pass on the technique of combining the soul power of the qin sound to herself. Shangguan Xiao couldn't resist her, so he told her about his method of using soul power, thinking that after hitting the wall, she would no longer be delusional about the magic of wind soul power, but everyone didn't expect that she would be able to persevere.

Unlike Shangguan Xiao, her piano sound requires a lot of soul power, and everywhere the piano sound goes, there is a sea of fire, but this spell can't support it for a long time with her current soul power.

Therefore, although her piano skills are not top-notch, a few pieces are not difficult for her. It's just that the ensemble with Ji Xingchen must have a similar level as her, otherwise the two piano sounds can't blend with each other, and it will be unbearable.

She plucked the strings a few times, but the unfinished tune had a different flavor.

A trace of gratitude flashed in Ji Xingchen's eyes, and he began to play slowly with her movements.

Different from the cheerful and lively artistic conception just now, the sound of the piano at this time is like a stream flowing quietly in the moonlight, slowly flowing in the main hall. When everyone was immersed in the sound of the piano, Ye Luwu quietly took out a trace of spiritual power from the shark beads in his arms and injected it into the guqin, allowing it to spread with the sound of the piano.

Her piano skills are far from Ji Xingchen, and if she continues to play, she will definitely fall into disadvantage, and then destroy the beauty of the whole piece.

But she can still make a little trick to obstruct her eyes, and her soul power can't be transmitted with the help of the sound of the piano, so she has to take a trace of the elder brother's, manipulate it carefully, and sketch a demure and beautiful picture of the lake in front of everyone's eyes where the sound of the piano goes.

After the song ended, she slowly withdrew her spiritual power, looking at the stunned sense of loss that appeared on everyone's faces, she couldn't help but want to laugh a little, "Miss Xingchen, can I insult your reputation as the number one talented woman in the capital with this song?"

Ji Xingchen is closest to her and has quite an achievement in music, so her tricks can't hide from the other party's eyes.

"Miss Ye's piano sound is really the icing on the cake, and Xingchen is here to thank you. Ji Xingchen understood when she first proposed the ensemble that this meticulous and innocent and kind girl did not hesitate to expose her unskilled piano skills in front of everyone in order to relieve her predicament. This favor, she Ji Xingchen wrote down.

The queen's face was slightly gloomy, but she didn't expect Ye Luwu to really be able to play a graceful music that made people feel like they were there, but Ji Xingchen was there, so she had to praise, "You two girls really opened the eyes of the palace, and the stars remember to come to the palace often, and the palace heard your song, and it was really hard to be in the sea." Rose, go and give the stars the green qi given by the first emperor when the palace was married to the saint. ”

Everyone looked different, and the queen gave Lu Qi to Ji Xingchen, which made it clear that she would be the crown princess who was determined, and the hope of the prince inheriting the throne in the future increased by another point. As for Ye Luwu, as long as today's song is spread outside this apse, it will be performed by Ji Xingchen alone, and she will never be allowed to share the glory that belongs to Ji Xingchen.

The ladies present were all jealous of this girl who stood on the heads of the daughters of all the courtiers, if today's song was played by her own daughter, maybe the queen would look at it differently, even if she could not be named the crown princess, she could be the side concubines of other princes.

Ji Xingchen slowly got up under the gaze of many eyes, and bowed down before the high position, "The courtiers thank the queen for the reward, but the green qi is too valuable, and the courtiers really can't accept it." What's more, today's song still has half of the credit of Sister Luwu, Xingchen does not dare to take credit without authorization, and hopes that the queen will take back the reward. ”

Ye Luwu saw Ji Xingchen's deeply lowered head and turned slightly towards her, revealing a kind look.

Everyone looked at her in surprise, Ye Luwu was a wild girl who grew up in the mountains, and even the queen had never rewarded her, so she just couldn't look down on her.

A trace of gloom flashed in the queen's eyes, Ji Xingchen must have not understood the meaning of his words, otherwise how could he refuse the position of crown princess. I didn't expect the prime minister to be shrewd and capable, but he gave birth to such a stupid and dull daughter.

"The stars don't need to shirk, although the green qi is good, but it is buried in the hands of the palace, only in your hands can its elegance reappear in the world." She looked at Ye Luwu carefully, and slowly spoke: "This palace's memory has been getting worse and worse recently, if it weren't for Xingchen to speak, I would have forgotten to reward Miss Ye." Rose, Miss Ye's piano sound is also exquisite, so she will reward a hundred taels of gold. ”

Ye Luwu frowned, is this using himself as a musician. But if she slapped the queen in the face, and she was afraid that it would be difficult for the Murong family to be caught in the middle, since she had accepted Murong Hua's kindness, she couldn't push his family into the fire pit like this.

Just as she was thinking, a slight cough sounded in her ears, and she turned her head slightly, and saw Murong Lan covering her mouth with her sleeve, and her other hand waving slightly towards her. She suddenly remembered what Murong Lan said to her in the carriage, "My Murong family will never cause trouble, but I am not afraid of it." ”

This is to tell yourself not to be afraid, she is now the second lady of the Murong family, and she is not a commoner who the queen can humiliate at will.

She immediately calmed down, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "The courtiers thank the queen for the reward, and the courtiers also carefully prepared a gift before entering the palace, and asked the queen not to dislike it." After that, she took out a handkerchief embroidered with lychees from her sleeve, and respectfully offered it with both hands, "The courtiers have left home since they were young, so this knitted female red is not very good, but it is also embroidered by the courtiers with a lot of effort." ”

The queen took the Fang Jinpa from Rose's hand, raised her eyebrows and said, "A red dust concubine smiled, no one knew that it was a lychee, are you saying that this palace is a luxurious person?"

Ye Luwu blinked innocently, "Why did the queen mother say that, the courtier means that the queen mother favors the sixth palace, although His Royal Highness the prince is already in the year of the weak crown, but the queen mother still looks like the sister of the courtier." If there is any offense, please ask the queen to forgive the courtiers for the sake of the courtiers who have no father and mother. ”

This was an interesting thing in the palace, and Murong Lan was afraid that she would be bored in the mansion, so she specially said it to relieve her boredom. The earliest lychees ripen in late March, and the emperor sent people to send them all the way back to the capital with ice buckets. But the road was bumpy, and the lychees were transported on horseback, and there were nine times out of ten that they were damaged, and in the end, only two baskets were delivered to the capital unscathed. The emperor gave a basket to the concubines in the harem, but the other basket went into the palace of the concubines. The poor queen thought that this lychee would be sent to Fengqi Palace, and specially prepared an ice room to store it, and finally not only smashed the ice room, but also exempted all the fruit supplies in the palace on the grounds that the melons and fruits were cold.

The queen used her as a musician, and she alluded to the fact that the queen was old and unfavored, but the queen of the middle palace could only get as many lychees as the last concubine, which was really ridiculous.

A person without a father and mother is understandable for not being able to read poetry and books. And her words are full of compliments to the queen, even if she is angry again, she can only endure it and not have a seizure, and even has to be duplicitous for her filial piety, "Your heart is understood by the palace, it is difficult for you to have this piece of filial piety." ”

This turmoil is over, and everyone is secretly relieved.

The sound of silk and bamboo sounded slowly, and the dancers came with water sleeves again, dispelling the tense atmosphere in the hall just now.

Just as the banquet was about to end, the voice of the attendant came from outside the door: "The Holy Lord has arrived! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived! His Royal Highness King Rong has arrived!"

Everyone hurriedly got up and bowed, and no one dared to say that this uninvited guest was not.

"Why is the Holy Lord here, but the courtiers in the front hall have already dispersed?" the queen stepped forward with a smile, "Mingchuan and Minghe can have fun today? I haven't seen you for a long time, but you have grown taller again." ”

The emperor patted the queen's hand, then turned around and went to the concubine's table, holding her hand and not letting go, "I went to drink with those old men early this morning, but I neglected my concubine, so I punished myself for spending a good night with my concubine?"

The queen stood awkwardly, but she had already clenched her silver teeth, and the smile on her face became twitching because of this.

After the emperor and the concubine had enough flirtation, he pulled the queen to the throne.

He stroked his beard, rolled his eyes around the store, and said, "Which is Ye Jing's daughter?" ”

The emperor asked to see Ye Luwu by name, which surprised everyone.

Ye Luwu walked to the hall and bowed dignifiedly: "Ye Luwu, the daughter of the criminal minister, see the saint, long live the saint!"

The emperor made a distressed expression, choked up at her, and said: "Although Ye Jing has the grace of the widow, but you are innocent, and the widow can't bear to see you alone and homeless, so he will give you the Peony Garden in the capital to live in, and you can have a home." Also, in the future, don't call yourself the daughter of a criminal minister, you have no brother to help you, and the widow will give you the share of the countryman. ”

Ye Luwu didn't know what he meant by this, so he responded first, "The courtiers thank the Holy God for the reward." ”

The emperor's words can be said to have stirred up a thousand waves with one stone, and it has only been more than a month since the fall of the Yongding Bofu, so he treated Ye Luwu like this, whether it is to suppress the Zhenguo Mansion or to reactivate the Ye family's army? Or, it is not known whether this matter is related to the decision of the next new monarch, and the person who was still made fun of by them has the share of the township monarch at this time, and it seems that he will pay more attention to her in the future.

Everyone present reached a consensus on Ye Luwu almost instantly.

And the emperor above the high position looked at the people with different expressions below, snorted coldly in his heart, and turned his head to Xu Mingchuan and Xu Minghe: "The green girl enters Beijing for the first time, and the widow will give you two a few days, and when she walks around the capital, she will be familiar with the future home." ”

The alarm bell in the hearts of the two was loud, since the Zhou State waved its troops south, the court was divided into the prince faction and the Rongwang faction, these people took this opportunity to play and asked the two to go out in person, so that they could get a little military merit and be able to stand on their feet. But the emperor didn't send anyone, but only sent the queen's younger brother to go on the expedition, but he sent people sent by King Rong to supervise the army, so as to balance the forces between the two factions.

At this juncture, they suddenly stopped all the affairs of the two of them, and they had to accompany Ye Luwu to visit the capital?! They couldn't guess what the emperor was thinking in his heart.

After the two responded, the emperor hastily ended the Mid-Autumn Festival on the grounds that he wanted to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival with the concubine. After everyone retreated, they left in twos and threes, and Ye Luwu's figure flickered in front of their eyes, and they didn't know where they went.

Xu Mingchuan hurriedly chased out of the hall, catching up with Ye Luwu's footsteps before Xu Minghe, "Girl Luwu! Since my father ordered me and my fourth brother to take the girl to get acquainted with the capital, I will send the girl back today." ”

He is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Changguo, a noble man of the heavenly family, and he calls himself "I" to Ye Luwu and a grass people, which is intended to shorten the distance between the two. What this means is unknown.

Ye Luwu looked at him carefully, although he was a high prince, but now under the bright moonlight, he did not have half of his domineering momentum, and a pair of peach blossom eyes inherited from the royal family were full of tenderness, as if he was his treasure.

Too many things happened tonight, and the completely different attitudes of the emperor and the empress towards herself made her upset, not to mention that she had to go to the senior brother and Chenyu tomorrow, and it was inconvenient for her to have someone around, so she stepped back and saluted: "How dare you work for His Royal Highness the Prince? The courtier's maid is outside the palace gate, and I ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to stay." ”

After saying that, he quietly urged his soul power to hurry away, Xu Mingchuan only had time to touch the corner of her wind-like clothes, and watched her leave like a ball of wind.
