Chapter 60: Bau
With Ji Qinglan performing Zhuyu in the front, the next few people playing the piano and dancing are bland.
The queen smiled: "Many of these noble girls who came today don't know each other in this palace, so I will give a random face, perform well, the emperor and the palace have rewards, and if you don't perform well, you will be fined three glasses of wine!" ”
The queen looked around, her eyes fell on Begonia, and the queen smiled: "Mrs. Zuodu Yushi, this palace only knows that you have a son, and this bright and beautiful girl next to you is the first time I have seen this palace." ”
The emperor and Concubine Ji also looked over.
Mrs. Sun got up and replied, "Niangniang has good eyesight." This is the righteous daughter of the concubine, named Cheng Haitang, she is the daughter of the general soldier of Xuanfu Cheng, and she married a mother-daughter relationship with the concubine by chance. When I entered the palace for the first time today, I didn't expect to get into the eyes of my mother. ”
Haitang also stood up and stepped forward to salute the emperor's mothers: "Courtier Cheng Haitang, I have seen Your Majesty and Niangniang." The courtiers are only shallow in learning, and since the queen has ordered me, I will offer one or two ugliness. As she spoke, she took a musical instrument handed by Shuang'er, which seemed to be a flute and not a flute, and a flute but not a flute.
She stood in the middle of the flower stand, Tingting curling, under the silver moonlight, the gradient cyan on the skirt, lining her like a fairy slowly rising from the sea.
I saw her playing the instrument vertically like a. A melodious tune sounded on his lips, and the sound of the instrument was soft and melodious, like a pair of lovers whispering and whispering their hearts.
For a while, the sound of music lingered on the lake, intertwined with the lantern scene on the lake, and lingered with the cold moonlight, which made people can't help but feel soft and want to hug their lover tightly.
In the sound of the music, the tide of love in Xie Ruijiao's heart is like a storm breaking the shore, stretching endlessly. And at this moment, he just wants to take Begonia away and hide her.
Xie Yuanyu also has an uncontrollable impulse in his heart, as if there is a dream he has been looking for for many years in the music, and the lover who depends on each other in the song will accompany him to spend a long and helpless loneliness together. He had a strong desire to have it.
Zhao Muzhe asked, "Did you feel anything?" ”
Shen Congxi whispered: "The timbre of this instrument is very similar to the gourd silk we saw in Yunnan, and it is indeed easy to move people's heartstrings." ”
Zhao Muzhe glanced at him, looked in the direction of Xie Yuanyu and Xie Ruijiao, and pouted: "I mean there is a strong smell of gunpowder in the song!" ”
Shen Congxi was confused.
The music stopped, and everyone had their own charms in the song, but they were still slowly released in their hearts. The emperor paused for a moment and asked, "What kind of musical instrument is this?" I've never heard of it. Cheng Haitang, are you guilty? ”
The emperor's sentence made everyone's hearts tense, and they felt inexplicable.
Haitang knelt down to the emperor and replied: "This instrument is called Bau, and it is a musical instrument in Lingnan. This song is 'Bamboo House Love Song', which tells the story of a couple of lovers who eventually become fairy couples. Your Majesty, the courtiers don't know what crime this music committed? ”
Begonia didn't say what she was guilty of, but said it was music. The emperor nodded with satisfaction at her intelligence.
The emperor affectionately took one of the concubine's hands and said with a smile: "Your sin is arousing the affection between me and the concubine, so that I can't help myself." ”
"Your Majesty~" Concubine Ji didn't expect the emperor to say such affectionate words in public, and she was also quite moved.
She beckoned to Begonia, who walked up to her and the emperor. "What a good boy! The palace will reward you with a waist card and give you access to the palace at any time. You want to go to the palace and pass on all the bau and the song to the musicians, are you willing? ”
The emperor laughed and squeezed the concubine's hand: "You always know what I mean." ”
Haitang hurriedly knelt down to receive the waist card handed over by the palace maid and said, "Begonia obeys." ”
Xie Ruijiao's heart that he had just put down was hanging again, and he often entered the palace, which was prone to accidents, and Begonia would have to deal with more situations.
Just as he was thinking a lot, Xie Ruiqing, who was beside him, stood up and said: "With the lingering sound of Miss Cheng, the sons and daughters also came to offer ugliness to help their father and mother." ”
I saw the king walk to the flower stand, let people put four cylindrical fireworks in the middle of the flower stand, the king used the fire fold to light the fuse, only to see the fireworks into the air, in the night sky one after another. There is a word in the middle of each blooming firework, which are "Wan", "Shou", "None", and "Xinjiang".
"Good! These fireworks are skillfully done, and the words are also well written! Come, give wine to the king! The emperor said happily.
The king drank all the wine from his father, and everyone in the men's table also toasted and congratulated the king, so the performance was suspended, and everyone walked around with each other.
In the past, in the palace, the men's and women's seats did not interact with each other, but today in the royal garden outside the palace, there are princes and kings who take the lead in the women's seats to respect the elders of the mother's family.
Xie Ruijiao suddenly remembered that in his previous life, at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, someone poisoned the prince's wine, but was mistakenly drunk by King Kang and died instantly. In this life, we cannot allow history to repeat itself.
Xie Ruijiao looked around and found that the fifth brother King Kang was in the women's banquet, so he also walked over.
At this time, the sky is high and the moon and stars are scarce.
