Chapter 18 Satisfactory

Shen Yun accompanied Xiao Cong and ran in the paddock for two or three days, and was so tired that he was about to break up. ”

Shen Yun smiled slightly: "Family banquet, it won't be very tired, the old man likes the family Ding Xingwang, I can't go to make up the number." ”

So the two returned to the palace together, rested and tidied up, and then went to the banquet.

When they arrived at the field, only the lower left head of the throne was still empty, and saw the rest of the clan relatives, as long as they brought their families, they were all men and women sitting together, so they also walked over and sat there together, not long after the arrival of the day, Yuling did not see Queen He, so he asked Wang Zizhen a few words with great concern, and heard him say that the queen was a little unwell because of the wind in the morning, and sighed, "Mother must miss Brother Chengxi who stayed in Kyoto", and hurriedly left the table to greet her, Lingxi saw it, and immediately showed a look of disdain, I thought that this Jade Ling was like Queen He's niece, they were all flattering people, and she didn't know which kind of mother you were calling so affectionate.

When Yuling came back, everyone had drunk a few rounds of wine and enjoyed a lot of singing and dancing, and Jinshang looked very happy, and suddenly said to everyone: "I don't think it's interesting to watch these outsiders sing and dance, let's let them all go down, let's have fun with our own families." Especially you children, you must be willing to have fun with the elders, no matter what dancing and singing, reciting poems, silk and bamboo orchestras, I will all be rewarded. ”

Everyone listened to the emperor's speech, and they had to push some children out to recite poems and play the flute or something, and then many noble relatives and children couldn't sit still, thinking that they would behave in front of the emperor to leave a good impression, and maybe they could be pointed to a good marriage in the future, so they all ran to the field to compete for beauty. When Yuling saw it, she hurriedly pulled Meng Yinglan to no one's place, and explained like this.

At that time, Shen Yunzheng felt that her eyelids were heavy, and she didn't want Meng Yinglan to suddenly jump in front of her, but she woke up from her sleepiness.

I only heard Meng Yinglan say: "The courtiers heard that Liangdi is good at playing the pipa, and she can be called a national player, and she has admired her for a long time. ”

Shen Yun raised her eyebrows when she heard this, and when she finished speaking, she glanced at Xiao Cong, but saw that he was just raising a glass and drinking with an expressionless face.

Seeing this, Meng Yinglan deliberately said to Xiao Congjiao: "Your Highness, Liangdi is waiting for your permission." As he spoke, he was about to reach out to hold Xiao Cong's sleeve, but he avoided it quietly, and Jinshang's attention at this time was successfully attracted by her here, and when he turned his face, he saw Xiao Cong's small movements, and couldn't help but pout, and said in his heart, tsk, look at your unproductive appearance, before Linzi Hou came to me and said to me what reason you used to prevaricate him, but now it seems that it is really not prevarication.

Shen Yun saw all this clearly, and at this time, he quickly grabbed her little paws, and said with a smile: "The county gentleman is serious, I don't know which song the county gentleman wants to play?" ”

Meng Yinglan pretended to be happy and said, "Liangdi, this is an answer?" What do you think of 'Spring River'? ”

Shen Yun nodded and said, "Very good." After speaking, Xiao Cong glanced at him, he hurriedly moved his gaze to the side, but saw that Jinshang was looking at him with disdain, hurriedly lowered his eyelids, and coughed lightly in embarrassment.

However, Shen Yun didn't care about this, but came hand in hand with Meng Yinglan, looking like a sister, and her hair stood on end.

At this time, there was already a handful of pipa and a Qin Zheng in the waiter, and the two of them gave a salute to Jinshang, and gave a salute to each other, and each tried the strings, Meng Yinglan took the lead and was extraordinary, Shen Yun did not hurry up to catch up, everyone listened to a paragraph, and couldn't help but applaud, the heart said that these two are national players, in terms of skills alone, they are really comparable, first of all, the sound of the zither, like splashing ink mountains, wanton swaying, hearty, and the pipa, not in a hurry, more like the Yangtze River, rippling with the waves, straight into the hearts of the people.

Naturally, everyone gradually heard the mystery of this ensemble: Meng Yinglan's thoughts about the East Palace are now known to passers-by, and now the sound of the zither always has the meaning of wanting to suppress the pipa, such a blatant provocation, those who can't hear it are fools.

At the end of the song, Meng Yinglan felt that she had won a little, so she stood up and gave Shen Yun a slight salute, and said a little arrogantly: "The courtiers are taunted, please give me advice." ”

Shen Yun smiled slightly, got up and saluted: "It's rare for the county monarch to be so humble, but the county gentleman's state of mind today is more appropriate to play the 'Entering the Formation Song'." After speaking, no matter how Meng Yinglan's face turned white and then red, she saluted everyone, handed the pipa to the waiter on the side, and returned to her seat.

By this time, many people who knew this well had already laughed in a low voice, and others were blankly pulling them to ask why in a low voice.

I heard those who laughed and replied: "This 'Spring River' is about leisure, it should be like Liangdi's talent, popping up the feeling of gurgling water, but it is a pity that the daughter of Linzi Hou in order to win, the 'Spring River' was bounced into a flood, even if the technique is exquisite, it has lost its interest, how can it be considered good." Therefore, Liangdi asked her to play the 'Entering the Formation Song', which was actually a secret way that the meaning of the sword soldier faintly appeared in her song. ”

Yuling listened to the ridicule of those people, thinking that Jinshang and Donggong were there, and she still had to make up for Meng Yinglan, so she said seemingly casually: "This zither is different from the pipa, 'Chunjiang' was originally a pipa song, and it was moved to a zither song, so it will naturally be different from the previous taste." Liangdi only plays the pipa, so she must not know much about the zheng. After speaking, he pretended to sigh regretfully and said: "In the end, the best player in this kite is still Sister Yan back then, but it's a pity that the mountains and rivers are high and the mountains and rivers are hard to find, and now it has become a perfect sound." ”

When Shen Yun heard this, he sneered in his heart, oh, I see.

At this time, the faces of the people who knew the deep meaning of her words changed color, and even Jinshang smiled, and said in his heart that this Yuling was too ignorant, and it was not a disappointment to mention this at this time. Donggong frowned even more and kept his face calm and didn't speak, while Lingxi exploded directly, "Xiao Yuling, pay attention to what you say." ”

Meng Yinglan listened, looked at Xiao Cong and wept sadly: "The courtiers know that they can't get His Royal Highness to be green if they can't get His Royal Highness, and they have nothing to say, but they are not reconciled, so they will ask Shen Liangdi for advice. ”

Shen Yun was about to walk to her seat, but when she heard Yuling speak, she stopped, and when Meng Yinglan finished speaking, she sighed lightly, turned around and returned to her, took out a handkerchief from her sleeve and handed it to her, and said calmly, "The concubine just thinks that the county monarch is the daughter of the Hou Mansion, and it is not like people like us who are used to beating and beating, so it is better to speak tactfully, but it is the concubine's fault that the county monarch misunderstood." In fact, the skills of the county gentleman have been perfected, and the concubine can't tell the county gentleman anything, but how old is the concubine who is the county gentleman, but she has some feelings about learning the piano, and she can talk to the county gentleman. ”

As she spoke, Shi Shiran sat down on the piano bench and said while trying the strings: "The concubine is not good at playing the zither, but she was instructed by a musician a few times in the past, and she is just familiar with some techniques." But no matter what kind of instrument or how it is played, the rhythm and music theory are the same. ”

As she spoke, music flowed from her fingertips, as gentle and gentle as water, calming everyone's minds. I only heard her say: "A piece of music, no matter what instrument is played, is to convey feelings, difficult techniques, and even the song itself, are just appearances, the most important thing is what you think in your heart, there are mountains and rivers in your heart, and there are mountains and rivers in the song." As she spoke, her fingertips had already drawn out a melody, which was as elegant as a yaoqin, which really made people feel like mountains and flowing water. Who knew that he had just stroked a paragraph, and suddenly said: "There are sword soldiers in my heart, and there are sword soldiers in the song." Just listen to her music style, it is really like the sound of Jin Ge Iron Horse, fierce and not losing the pipa. When everyone was excited to hear it, she gradually faded the sound of the strings, replaced it with soft music, and said slowly: "But today, it's still not suitable for that tense state, what do you think?" ”

Meng Yinglan noticed that she hadn't used any difficult techniques from beginning to end, but she could make everyone's mood change with it.

At the end of the song, Shen Yun stood up and first saluted everyone, and then gave a slight salute to Meng Yinglan, who had a pale face: "The concubine has not seen Xu Liangdi's natural sound, and the subtlety of her skills is enough to make the concubine feel ashamed, but what does this have to do with the concubine and the county monarch?" ”

As she spoke, she took the time to glance at Yuling, who was looking at her faintly, "There are thousands of people and thousands of faces, everyone's character and talent are different, and some things are just flowers in their own eyes." There is no need for people to be presumptuous and inferior to others, and there is no need to follow suit and live a joke in order to please anyone. After speaking, he gave a final salute and returned to his seat. When Meng Yinglan heard this, she had no choice but to retreat and stop entanglement.

Lingxi originally thought that this Yuling mentioned Ah Yan in front of so many people, Qingqing would definitely be angry with her, and finally make everyone look bad, but her humble and arrogant rhetoric not only resolved the embarrassment and eased the atmosphere, saved everyone's face, and did not lose her dignity, so she quietly gave her a big finger, and got up again to give a salute to Jinshang: "Your Majesty, the minister listened to Shen Liangdi's high comments today, and felt that he had gained a lot of knowledge, and he was also itchy for a while, and he was willing to play the gonghou for all the elders. I beg your Majesty's permission. ”

Jinshang smiled and nodded and said: "Our Qinghejun took the initiative to say that it is really rare to play the gonghou, I want to think about your mother's gonghou, but it is also a must, play it well, play it well, I will reward you heavily." ”

Look, we are still sensible, and we all know that we have come out to play a round.

Since Shen Yun returned to his seat, he didn't look at Xiao Cong with a cold face, he knew that she was wronged again, and he was a little anxious, but in front of so many people, as well as his father, he could only show his joy and anger to the extreme, and at this time, seeing Shen Yun listening to Lingxi's performance, he finally had some smiles on his face, he hurriedly reached out from under the table to shake her hand, but he didn't expect her to look waveless, but her hand was dodged.

Xiao Cong didn't care about that, but still reached over and held her hand hard.

Shen Yun secretly tried twice to pull his hand back, but he couldn't pull it out, and it was not good to make too much movement in front of so many people, so he lowered his face and whispered: "You let go." But I heard Xiao Cong also whispered: "Father is watching, Liangdi will save me some face." ”

Only then did Shen Yun notice that although Jinshang had been staring at Lingxi and smiling, he had to glance at them from time to time, so he stopped struggling, exhaled a long breath, stopped speaking, and his expression was only faint, and he couldn't see joy or anger.

After the Lingxi performance, he said hello today, and then said with some interest: "Everyone is tired today, let's come here, I just said that all the children who have performed for the elders today will be rewarded," he said, Wang Zizhen had already led the attendants to serve a few trays, and he stood up, and everyone also got up and followed suit.

I saw him walk to those trays, pick out a pair of red gold inlaid agarwood inlaid with mutton fat jade Ruyi in his hand, walked to Lingxi first, handed one of them to her and said: "Our Qinghejun is good today, and he has more and more charm of Princess Zhaoyang, and he should be rewarded." ”

Naturally, Lingxi happily thanked him for receiving the reward.

Then, he walked up to Shen Yun and handed her another Ruyi and said, "Prince Liangdi is also good, he should be rewarded." ”

Shen Yun was a little stunned for a while, but fortunately she didn't forget to receive the reward, but she just waited until she turned around and waved her hand, and asked Wang Zizhen to bring the rest of the things to everyone and let them pick them one by one.

In the end, Xiao Cong teased her in a low voice, "I think you've seen the world, what?" One wishful thinking scares you stupid? Only then did she come back to her senses and muttered something, Xiao Cong didn't hear clearly, so she asked her, "What did you say?" ”

Shen Yun glanced at him, but just sighed, shook his head and said, "It's nothing." After speaking, he hugged the wish, accepted everyone's greetings with Xiao Cong, and returned to the dormitory together.

Xiao Cong thought about Fang Cai Lingxi's expression when he looked at them leaving the table, and almost wrote the words "You're finished" on his face, he originally thought that Qingqing would have a big temper with him, and even had the consciousness of not fighting back and scolding, but he didn't expect that until he finished washing and lay down on the couch, she was still holding the Ruyi in a daze, so he hugged her and called tentatively, "Qingqing".

Shen Yun glanced at him at this time, and said with a long sigh: "Your Highness doesn't have to be like this, the concubine is no longer angry." Seeing that he raised his eyebrows, his face was incredulous, she smiled helplessly: "The concubine just suddenly figured it out, Xu Liangdi Zhuyu is in front, and the concubine is afraid that in this life, she will be compared with her by others, and besides, today's matter, it is no wonder that Your Highness, the concubine has not been wronged." She said, shaking the Ruyi in her hand, "For the sake of the old man, I won't worry about you for the time being." ”

Xiao Cong breathed a long sigh of relief when she heard this, and said in her heart that Jiang was still old and spicy, and her father's generous reward seemed to be rewarded in her heart.

Then I thought, I like Ruyi, I said it earlier, how much trouble does this have to be saved.

Shen Yun looked at him relieved, laughed secretly, turned over, and fell asleep by himself with the ruyi in his arms, Xiao Cong was really tired after tossing all day, so he rubbed behind her and hugged her, and also slept.

As for the sentence that Shen Yun muttered before that he didn't hear clearly, it was: Why do these emperors like to give away wishes when they have nothing to do.

Who knows that a prophecy has become a prophecy, since then, Xiao Cong, the quasi-emperor, has Ruyi, as long as it is a pair, she and Jingyi will have one handle, if it is a unique product, then he will find a more valuable thing to send to Jingyi, and only keep Ruyi for her, until she inherits the throne, it is still the same.
