Li Chongding came in, didn't dare to raise his head, bowed respectfully, and said long live. He is only in his thirties, and it is the time to make great achievements, but he is trying to survive in the cracks, and he is far from feeling the hardness of the early generations of the True Palace.

Xiao Yue excused himself, then glanced at Xue Mengzhuo, and asked lightly, "It's just a few months, Chief Xue has been a Northern Yanchen, and he doesn't know the Southern Dynasty army." I don't even know me. ”

Xue Mengzhuo was polite when he heard this, and immediately broke out in a cold sweat, and hurriedly buckled his head to ask for guilt, "I don't know that Your Majesty is coming, and I will miss the welcome, and it will be difficult to escape the guilt of death!" ”

How could he know about the Holy Emperor's personal expedition? The news between the north and the south has not been smooth in the past two years, His Majesty has fought a blitzkrieg, and the two states of Pingjing have been terminated before they can react.

Xiao Yue didn't want to embarrass him anymore, so he asked Li Chongding, "Does anyone from the Beiyan royal family come to your view?" ”

Li Chongding got up slightly, not daring to hide it, "The high priest of the Sassanid Sect came here in March. ”

Xiao Yue and Ren Suming glanced at each other, and their hearts were clear.

After asking again, Li Chongding and Xue Mengzhuo retreated, and Xiao Yue said, "How to solve it?" ”

Ren Suming muttered, "Presumably, the closer you get to the Fragrant Soul Wood, the better the effect." ”

Xiao Yue nodded, bowed his head and was silent, for a long time, he rubbed his eyebrows tiredly, and called in Xiao Zhengzhi to give a few words.

Early the next morning, Xiao Yue and his party followed Su Ming into the mountain, Li Chongding waited at the bottom of the mountain early, Xiao Zhengzhi had already blasted everyone in the Ganzhen Palace down the mountain overnight, cleaned up the palace and waited for the holy car.

Xue Mengzhuo followed tremblingly, seeing the third prince with a cold eyebrow, and hurriedly flattering and smiling, Xiao Zhengzhi glanced at him coldly and ignored him. Xue Mengzhuo was bored, thinking that these three sons were domineering and difficult to get along with compared to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the second son.

Everyone went up the mountain one after another, and the idle people retreated, settled down in all kinds of things, and had eaten after bathing and soup, and it was already noon.

Xie Zhaorong has never been far away, and he only feels that the mountains and rivers are magnificent and beautiful all the way, and when he crosses the clouds and dreams, the reeds are boundless, and the mountains are stacked and green, and even his mind is loose. Thinking that Xie Youyi had galloped here, born and died, he couldn't help but be moved, and his heart was stunned.

Although the boat and car are tiring, but the feeling of the real palace is indeed refreshing and pleasant compared to Jiangling, at this time at noon, push open the carved window, the cicadas are singing and the trees are quiet, and the fragrance is refreshing.

Xiao Yue entered the mountain with Ren Suming and the others a moment ago, but did not explain where to go.

In fact, he didn't talk to her all the way.

It was boring to sit alone for a long time, so she told Lu Zhu to take the piano to relieve her boredom, and said with a slight smile, "Fuqin must not be without fragrance, and the natural fragrance in the court is even better." ”

Lu Zhu opened the bag and took the piano and placed it in the case room under the fragrant soul wood, Xie Zhaorong tuned the strings, and Lu Zhu stood next to Jiao Han and asked, "Niang Niang likes to stroke the piano to relieve boredom, but I feel that the more I play, the more boring it becomes, I ask, what are the benefits of stroking it?" ”

Xie Zhaorong smiled when he heard this, "It's a long story. Pointing to the stone pier to let her sit down, Taxue brought the tea out, Xie Zhaorong took it, took a sip, was distracted for a moment, and said slowly, "The qin is cut by the Fuxi clan, see the essence of the five stars, fly down the sycamore, and the phoenix emperor comes to the ceremony." The phoenix is the king of birds, not bamboo, not food, not sycamore, not drink. ”

When she was a child, she leaned on Concubine Xie's lap to listen to the piano, and Concubine Xie was familiar with the rhythm, and when she taught her to play the piano, she first told the origin of the piano, and she was very fascinated by it.

"Fu Xi knows that the sycamore is a good material in the tree, and it is the essence of creation, which can be used as a piece of music, which makes people cut it. Its tree is three feet high and three feet high, according to the number of thirty-three days, cut into three sections, divided into three talents: heaven, earth and man. Take a section and knock it, its sound is too clear, and it is too light and abandoned; Take down a section and knock it, its sound is too loud, and it is abandoned because it is too heavy; Take a middle section and knock it, its sound is clear and voiced, and it is both light and heavy. Send it to the long flowing water, soak it for seventy-two days, according to the number of seventy-two waits. Take up the yin dry, choose a good time and auspicious day, and use the master craftsman Liu Ziqi to cut it into a musical instrument. This is the joy of Yaochi, hence the name Yaoqin. ”

Taxue also sat next to him and listened, and exclaimed, "This piano is so exquisite." ”

Xie Zhaorong's fingers brushed the strings, the ding dong sound was pleasant, and he continued, "The body of the piano is three feet six inches and one minute, and it is three hundred and sixty-one degrees according to Sunday; Eight inches wide in front, eight knots; The rear width is four inches, and it is pressed at four o'clock; Two inches thick, press two instruments. There are golden boy heads, jade girl waists, fairy backs, dragon pools, phoenix swamps, jade splendors, and gold emblems. That emblem has twelve, according to the twelve; There is also a middle emblem, according to the leap month. First, the five strings are on top, and the outside is pressed by the five elements: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth; Inner according to the five tones: Gong, Shang, Jiao, Zheng, Yu. Yao Shun played the five-stringed piano and sang the poem "South Wind", and the world was under great rule. Later, because King Wen of Zhou was imprisoned in the palace, he hung his son Boyi and added a string, which was quiet and complaining, which was called Wen Xian. After the martial king, the song and dance before the war, add a string, and carry it out fiercely, which is called the martial string. First, the palace, Shang, horn, Zheng, Yu five strings, and then add two strings, so it is also called the civil and military lyre......"

As soon as the words fell, Lu Zhu clapped his hands and smiled, "King Wen and King Wu I know, I like to listen to the story of the gods!" ”

Tayuki pinched her face and smiled, "You love to listen to those gods and monsters." He turned his head to Xie Zhaorong and said, "Please don't bother with her, and continue." ”

Xie Zhaorong smiled, "There are six taboos in the piano, seven don't play, and eight absolutes." ”

Treading Xue Qi said, "What are the six taboos? ”

"One is to avoid the cold, the second is to avoid the heat, the third is to avoid the wind, the fourth is to avoid heavy rain, the fifth is to be thunderous, and the sixth is to be afraid of heavy snow."

Lu Zhu hurriedly asked again, "What is Seven Bu Bu Bomb?" ”

Xie Zhaorong said, "Those who hear mourning don't play, don't play music, don't play redundancy, don't play if they don't clean their bodies, don't play if they don't have neat clothes, don't play if they don't burn incense, and don't play if they don't meet a bosom friend." ”

He continued, "The Eight Uniques are talking about the sound of the piano, which is strange and elegant, tragic and long. The piano caresses to the fullest perfection, the howling tiger hears but does not roar, and the mourning ape listens but does not cry. This is the benefit of Yale. ”

Treading Xue and Green Bead smiled, "It's really a long insight, it turns out that there is so much knowledge in this little piano." ”

Xie Zhaorong said with a smile, "Qin is the voice of the heart, the left is nothing but a thing to relieve boredom, it doesn't matter if you know these or not." ”

After finishing speaking, he gathered his mind and played a song, which was murmuring, accompanied by the quiet mountains and waters, and a peaceful atmosphere. Before the end of the song, there was a sound of "chime", and a string was broken. Xie Zhaorong was shocked, who was eavesdropping on the piano in the dark? Therefore, the sound of the piano changes suddenly, and there is a difference in the string breakage.

She said coldly, "Who's in the shadows?" Come forward and speak. ”

Stepping on the snow green beads was surprised that the strings were broken, listening to the mother's question, she hurriedly got up and looked around, "No one!" ”

The sound of cicadas suddenly stopped, and in a moment, a figure came from outside the moon cave.

The three of them looked up, stepped on the snow and green beads, and hurriedly stepped forward and bent their knees, "I've seen the third son." ”

Xie Zhaorong was slightly surprised when he saw that it was Xiao Zhengzhi.

Xiao Zhengzhi's footsteps hesitated, and he arched his hand a little awkwardly, and said, "I've seen it...... Concubine Chen. I just passed by, and I heard the sound of the piano from afar, and I didn't want to be abrupt, forgive me. ”

Xie Zhaorong lowered his eyes slightly and said, "The saint has entered the mountain." The court is hot, and the prince can go to the side hall and wait. ”

Listening to her teasing people, Xiao Zhengzhi knew that she was avoiding suspicion, and was about to go to the side hall when she caught a glimpse of her collecting the piano.

He thought to himself, she was really beautiful.

The sound is also good.

He was passing by when he came in, and after thinking about it, he knew that it was Concubine Chen in the court. knew that it was not polite, but she was inexplicably bound by her eloquent voice, and couldn't help but stand under the flower tree and listen.

I heard that she has always been cowardly, her blood and qi are declining, and her health is not very good.

The days of running around made her look more and more weak and pale, but her cheeks were more rosy than in Gangneung, and her complexion looked much better.

He inexplicably remembered that when he was traveling at night in the painting boat in the old year, Xie Dingyi and Jin Bonan had made fun of her very informally.

Xiao Zhengzhi immediately put away his thoughts, and secretly scolded himself in his heart.

Seeing her put the piano away, he couldn't help asking, "Why don't you play it when you take it out?" ”

One of the fine strings had been broken, and she had carefully removed them.

A broken string is not a good omen, and Xiao Zheng's heart is indescribably irritable.
