Chapter 301: The Piano
Shen Qi: "...... "Boss, where are your principles...
When I returned to the courtyard, I hurriedly brought over a bowl of medicine, and said with a worried look: "Niangniang, it's time to drink medicine." ”
Xu Tiantian pursed her lips, and silently thought in her heart: Early death and early superbirth... Early death, early superbirth... Pinching his nose, he threw his head up and drank it in one gulp.
As soon as he finished drinking, he stuffed the candied fruit in Xu Tiantian's mouth, and the slightest sweetness in his mouth was overflowing, and Xu Tiantian felt a little better.
Two days later, the envoy of Xidi Kingdom brought the princess to visit, and in order to welcome and show sincerity, Xuanye set up an unprecedented grand dinner in the garden of the palace.
In order to show the strong strength of the Jingxi Dynasty in a low-key manner, whether it is the wife of the Houwangfu or the children of court officials, as long as they are talented, they will all let people go to the banquet.
The best musician in the palace, the best dancing girl in the palace, the best cook in the palace, and the most core emperors and grandsons in the entire Jingxi all reveal this luxury.
Xu Tiantian was quite curious about the ancient banquet, so she asked Wei Miao and Wei Xiao to help her dress up early.
Xi Qi came to Xu Tiantian and just wanted to dress up simply, but Wei Miao and Wei Xiao didn't agree, and said vigorously-
"Niangniang, this is the first time you have attended a banquet in the palace! And how can you not dress up beautifully when it's so grand! ”
"Yes, mother, you believe in the skills of both of us, and make sure that after you see it, you will fall in love with yourself!"
Looking at the two of them in high spirits, Xu Tiantian could only nod and agree.
Wei Xiao and Wei Miao work together, extra attentive, a light crimson long skirt, silver thread piping, embroidered along the skirt to the top of a few lifelike roses, the crimson corset is even more unbearable to grip, the layers of overlapping placket slightly expose the collarbone, more slender and elegant.
Su Rili only took a hosta hairpin and loosely held her hair, and also turned out two buns under Wei Xiao's skillful hands, and she trembled slightly when she walked, adding a little more Chu Chu and softness.
Xu Tiantian looked in the mirror for the last time, and immediately gave a thumbs up to the two of them, and said with crooked eyes with a smile: "The old lady is really going to fall in love with herself." ”
After arriving at the imperial garden where the banquet was held, Xu Tiantian saw Ning Qin'er and Lan at a glance, and went to say hello to the two.
I saw that Ning Qin'er was wearing a light cyan long dress, and the white crane with a red beak on the skirt was lifelike, and the Lan family was like a fairy driving a crane. On the side, Lan Guiren goose yellow long skirt, the long skirt is embroidered with green plums, and the waist is tied with a palm-wide pale green belt to echo it, which is tender like a flower bone that has just emerged in spring.
Ning Qin'er and Lan's were naturally amazed by Xu Tiantian, the pale crimson skirt was like the afterglow of the sunset after the evening burning, the eyebrows and eyes were radiant, sparkling, and a few roses were born on the skirt, which made Xu Tiantian like the god of a hundred flowers.
Lan Shi circled around Xu Tiantian and said in surprise: "Niangniang, you are really too beautiful!" ”
Ning Qin'er's eyes were also amazing, and she praised generously: "Niangniang's appearance deserves to be the first beauty in Jingxi." ”
Xu Tiantian smiled, but she made a few roses on her skirt lose their color, and she whispered: "It's just that you're dressed up carefully, and you guys are also very good." ”
Xu Tiantian's eyes flashed, and her smile deepened.
After Xuanye came, the banquet officially began.
It's been boring for many days, it's rare to have these fun and good-looking, Xu Tiantian watched it with relish, and didn't notice that someone looked at him.
And Xi Qi should watch Xuanye of the show, but his eyes couldn't stop glancing at Xu Tiantian, this woman is really good-looking today, and the peach is dying, scorching.
Before he knew it, the banquet had reached the middle of the banquet, and the ambassador of the Sidi Kingdom, Xi Qi, stood up and said, "Honorable prince, the minister has brought a gift for you on behalf of our king. ”
Xuan Ye heard this: "The king has a heart, and this king is here to thank you first." ”
As he spoke, a large object covered with a red cloth was already being carried in.
Xuan Ye was puzzled: "What is this?" ”
Xi Qi smiled and said proudly: "Back to the prince, this is a musical instrument." ”
Xu Tiantian, who was drinking, heard this, her heart jumped violently, her eyes wandered over this big object, this style, this size, this line, no matter how you look at it, it looks like a piano!
Xi Qi didn't sell Guan Zi anymore, and invited Xuan Ye to uncover the red cloth in person, everyone stared curiously, and Xu Tiantian's heart beat faster.
As soon as the red cloth was lifted, there was a black grand piano inside!
Looking at the familiar black and white eighty-eight keys, Xu Tiantian's eyes were wet with tears for a moment, since she was four years old, she had to practice the piano for at least one hour a day, and it had slowly become a habit of life from an iron law, and finally became an indispensable part of her life.
Didn't expect... There's still a chance...
Xi Qi continued: "Lord, this time I came to visit the Jingxi Dynasty, our princess has a wish, and I hope that the prince can allow it. ”
A gleam flashed in Xuan Ye's eyes, he was afraid that Xidi Guo was going to play some tricks, but on the surface, he just said lightly: "It's okay to say it directly." ”
Xi Qi arched his hand again: "The princess has loved the guqin of the Jingxi Dynasty since she was a child, and this visit is looking forward to having a discussion with the masters of the Jingxi Dynasty, and I also hope that the prince will be an adult." ”
Xuan Ye squinted his eyes before he said: "The competition is really serious, the sound of the piano is not high or low, the elegant and vulgar appreciation is the big pattern, the princess is a happy person, there must be a little similar, it is better to think of the Jingxi Dynasty and the Xidi Kingdom as a joint banquet to celebrate the evergreen friendship between our two countries." ”
Xi Qi hurriedly picked up the wine glass and said, "Celebrate the evergreen friendship between the two countries!" ”
The ministers and their relatives raised their glasses together and congratulated in unison: "Celebrate the evergreen friendship between the two countries!" ”
Xu Tiantian took advantage of the toast, and then looked at Xuanye, at this time he was still faint, and he looked pampered and not surprised, no different from usual.
It's just that Fang Cai's words didn't leak, but it made Xu Tiantian appreciate it a little more.
This princess's argument is not good, so it can be turned into a provocation. Guqin is the national piano of the Jingxi Dynasty, outsiders play the national piano, even if the Chinese people win, it can only be taken for granted, but if it loses, it is a joke.
But Xuan Ye's words were a preventive injection in advance. A good piano sound is not high or low, and insisted that the princess also agreed, and directly turned the competition into a celebration program.
Turning losses into profits, Xu Tiantian admired.
But... Xu Tiantian touched her chin, even with Xuan Ye's words as a guarantee, this competition will inevitably be judged by everyone.
If you lose, the Jingxi Dynasty will not save face, but if you win, it will not add a trace of brilliance. With the current situation, if this princess is brilliant in the piano, the Jingxi Dynasty will not be able to please anything. And the person who competes with this princess must not be too low...
Thinking like this, Lan Shi leaned over and asked, "Niangniang, what do you think so obsessed?" ”
Xu Tiantian replied casually: "I'm thinking, now that the Ye family has been expelled, who else in the palace is proficient in the guqin." ”
After listening to Xu Tiantian's words, the Lan family smiled proudly and said proudly: "It is said that the Ye family in the palace is comparable to a national player, but sister, let me tell you, Sister Ning is really hidden." ”
Xu Tiantian was stunned: "Ning Qin'er? ”
Lan's eyebrows fluttered and said, "Even you didn't expect it, my guqin was taught by Sister Ning!" ”
Xu Tiantian nodded and did not speak again. While she was talking, the princess of the Sidi Kingdom had already walked up with a piano in her arms.
The facial features are as delicate as a master's work of art cut with a knife, the nose is high, the eye sockets are deep, and the pupils are indifferent and noble, embedded in the low eye sockets, like a calm lake.
The moment he saw the piano, he gasped, his eyes were straight, Xu Tiantian glanced at her puzzled, and asked in a deep voice, "What's wrong?" ”
The piano in her hand is called "Wu""
Xu Tiantian also looked at it, and didn't know why: "Is it made of sycamore wood?" ”
Wei Miao pursed her lips and smiled: "Taken from the meaning of the phoenix is not a sycamore, this piano is not just a good one can be played, it seems that this princess is very good at the piano." ”
Xu Tian smiled sweetly, the enemy is menacing.
After the princess sat upright, she slowly raised her hand to stroke the piano, and drew a string of smooth music from top to bottom, and the sound of the piano surprised everyone as soon as it reached the ears of those present.
The princess grinned, her expression overflowing with contempt, as if she was accustomed to the reactions of everyone present. Before everyone could react, a pair of hands were already dancing on the strings, and when the sleeves of their clothes waved, a large piece of music poured out, and the atmosphere was majestic, as if it was about to fill the entire hall.
When the sound of the piano is urgent, like the sound of the horn on the battlefield, the war horse raises its front legs and neighses, which makes people's blood boil; When the sound of the piano slows down a little, the wind whines and sweeps across the grassland, sweeping through everyone's hearts with a great sense of pathos.
As the movements of the princess's hand slowed down, the last tail note gradually dissipated in the air, but everyone in the hall couldn't come back to their senses for a long time, and the distant and majestic sound of the piano was still stirring their hearts...
Xu Tiantian secretly admired in her heart, this princess's strength is really true.
"Pap-pa-pa-pa-pa"
Xu Tiantian slowly applauded, breaking the solemn silence, smiling, raised a glass of wine and turned to look at Xuan Ye and said, "The princess is really powerful, the concubine wants to honor the princess with this glass of wine." ”
Xuan Ye nodded and said, "Accurate." ”
Seeing this, the princess also took the piano, picked up a glass of wine, and the two looked at each other, and drank them separately.
After drinking, Xu Tiantian's eyes fluttered, and she smiled again: "The princess's performance is amazing, and the concubine is really admired." The princess loves me so much for the national piano of the Jingxi Dynasty, and I am really moved. ”
Then she changed her words: "This king listens to Mrs. Ning's piano skills, so it's better to listen to Mrs. Ning first!" ”
Everyone's eyes suddenly became intriguing, Ning Qin'er is famous for being proficient in qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, especially the guqin, this gong is mainly lost, but it is not good-looking.
But Ning Qin'er just smiled faintly, and her voice was soft: "Then the concubine will be ugly." ”
