Chapter 48: Competition

Zichen Palace.

The emperor sat high on the throne. A group of princes and ministers sat on the left, Chen Guifei and others arrived in the main hall, and after taking everyone to salute the emperor, they went to the right seat and sat down.

The ladies and daughters also sat down according to their grades.

"Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, you have to take advantage of it." The Emperor picked up his glass and looked at the crowd with impassioned eyes.

"It is still up to the emperor that we can get together today." Chen Guifei answered with a smile, and everyone nodded to second.

"Hahahaha, Concubine Ai is all good to say." The emperor obviously did not blame Chen Guifei for answering, but was very happy because of this.

"Thank you for the compliment."

Everyone laughed and laughed, and drank the wine and juice in the cup in their hands with the emperor.

After drinking the first glass of wine, the waiter said "feast", and the maid poured in from outside the hall and began to serve the dish with a plate.

Taking advantage of the gap between the dishes, Jing Yu inadvertently looked at Shang Liyuan opposite, but Jing Mo looked at Shang Liyuan unscrupulously, the more he looked at it, the more excited he became, after today's marriage from his father, soon, soon the delicate person opposite will be able to become his own belonging.

Thinking of this, Jing Mo kept smiling on his face.

Jing Yu had a bad premonition when she saw Jing Mo's behavior, but Concubine Xue held back her anger, and what she said to Jing Mo became the wind in her ears as soon as she met Shang Liyuan, and it was gone as soon as it blew, no way, she couldn't be angry with her son, but she glared at Shang Liyuan.

Shang Liyuan said that she was very innocent, she naturally noticed Jing Mo's gaze, and even Jing Yu's inadvertent glance was aware of it, but the highlight of today was not herself, but the emperor. Thinking of the drama arranged today, Shang Liyuan was in a good mood and didn't care about Concubine Xue.

Chen Guifei also arranged singing and dancing, and after the food was served, people started singing and dancing.

Everyone in the palace watched it with relish, but the young concubine spoke at this time, "Your Majesty, why don't you take advantage of this stall and let the daughters of each family also perform?" ”

As soon as the emperor heard this, he agreed. At this time, Chen Guifei Zhang Luo is naturally needed.

Chen Guifei waved her hand to let the singers on the field retreat, and then said aloud to everyone in the hall, "Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, I wonder if any daughter is willing to show her talent?" ”

Knowing that it was the daughters who chose concubines for the prince, they were naturally eager to try, but thinking that it was the daughters who chose concubines for the emperor, they buried their heads to reduce their sense of existence, so that the people in the upper positions could not notice themselves.

Shang Liyuan naturally knew about shooting the first bird, and there were more people with higher status than herself, so naturally she couldn't take her turn to go first, but...

"Guifei Niangniang, is there anyone in this capital who is more famous than the name of the eldest lady of the Shang Mansion?" Yao Die took the lead in standing up and bowed in the direction of the emperor's concubine, and then said something that silenced the audience. But Yao Die didn't care at all, "Why don't you let the eldest lady of the Shang Mansion start?" ”

Shang Liyuan looked at Yao Die, and Yao Die also turned her head to look at Shang Liyuan at this time, her eyes full of provocation and pride.

"Miss Shangfu's talent and beauty are indeed second to none in the capital, I wonder if Miss Shang is willing?" Chen Guifei asked Shang Liyuan's opinion, but the words made it impossible to refuse.

"Courtier, willing." Shang Liyuan stood up and saluted, and responded to Yao Die's provocation, "I don't know if I can ask the concubine to agree, let the county lord Yao and the courtiers be together?" ”

"The courtiers have heard that Lord Yao plays a good flute."

Chen Guifei was naturally willing to watch these daughters fight, and when she saw that the emperor had no objection, she agreed.

Yao Die's flute is indeed playing well, but... Shang Liyuan is going to make her ugly today. Seeing that Chen Guifei agreed, Yao Die glared at Shang Liyuan, but still asked the maid to fetch her usual flute.

Shang Liyuan asked the subordinates in the palace to prepare a piano and easel. When these two things were moved to the stage, everyone was a little stunned, but what they thought in their hearts was that this Miss Shangfu was crazy? It's just a talent in this ring, and I got two things, even if I can play the piano and paint, the things that come out of this heart are not necessarily good works.

However, since everyone is not worried, it is difficult for everyone to dissuade them. Except for a few people in the hall who threw worried eyes at Shang Liyuan, the others were all irrelevant and even had the idea of watching the excitement.

The emperor on the throne was also interested when he saw this posture, which was interesting... It's been a long time since I've had someone like this.

And Yao Die's heart was shocked and gloating at the same time, it would be nice to be embarrassed when the time comes.

"I wonder what the county lord wants to play?" Shang Liyuan directly ignored the excitement in Yao Die's eyes.

"'Plum blossom lead' is good." When Shang Liyuan heard it, this 'plum blossom introduction' was Yao Die's good track. Not only can you make yourself brilliant, but you can also borrow things through this song, killing two birds with one stone, and it is very good.

However, 'Plum Blossom Introduction' was originally a flute song, which was later adapted into a guqin song, and it is appropriate to use this piece at this time.

Shang Liyuan nodded, which was acceptable.

The two were ready, Shang Liyuan saluted Yao Die, walked to the middle of the easel and the piano and sat down, facing the easel with her back to the piano, but Yao Die snorted, took out the flute and put it to her mouth.

Everyone on the side saw this, they were a little dissatisfied with Yao Die's arrogance, as an opponent, it is the most basic respect to salute each other on the field, but this Yao Die... King Yao Zhou's face was also a little unsightly when he saw this, and then he looked at the frowning brows of the emperor on the throne, and was shocked. It seems that he is usually too indulgent to Yao Die.

Yao Die didn't know if he didn't care about everyone's opinions, or didn't notice, so he started the performance of the first part of the 'Plum Blossom Introduction' by himself. In the first half of the piece, a quiet and comfortable overtone tune is played, and it is impossible to see a person's level, and Yao Die's grasp of the tune is also very accurate.

Shang Liyuan began to write when Yao Die was the first to call it out.

Everyone listened to the music and looked at Shang Liyuan, who was not in a hurry to paint, and this picture was also very beautiful.

After the first six sections of the piece were over, Shang Liyuan put down the brush in her hand and turned to face the piano.

The second half of the 'plum blossom lead' is very urgent, the melody is ups and downs, the ups and downs, Shang Liyuan's piano faintly overshadows Yao Die's flute, Shang Liyuan's piano sound in the syncopated rhythm, frequent jumps in the high and low registers, alternating sonata, one after another, emotional agitation, there is a lot of competition and anger, Yao Die began to be a little flustered, and gradually couldn't keep up.

By the last section of 'Plum Blossom Introduction', when the speed was slower and the climax atmosphere gradually stabilized, a trace of cold sweat had already broken out on Yao Die's forehead, but Shang Liyuan was still at ease.

After the song, there is no need for everyone to comment, in terms of music, Shang Liyuan is already a step above Yao Die. The two of them saluted the man in high position and stood in place.

At this time, Yao Di looked at Shang Liyuan angrily, but prayed in his heart that Shang Liyuan's painting skills would not be outstanding, at least he could win back a city.
