The Empress of the First Emperor, the mother family of the Empress Dowager Duanshu, the Xinzhou Qiao family, is a traditional first-class noble family with the same name as the Emperor Ye family. It is commonly known as "Yunlu in the south and Xinzhou in the north." It's just that the mother family of the Empress Dowager Duanshu has always been low-key, and only her brother Qiao Zhiru was appointed as a scholar of Wenlan Pavilion. The other children of the Qiao family are dedicated to teaching and educating people in Xinzhou, and they are very respected by the talented people of Dayanguo.

It is said that Qiao Jingqiu's piano sound is a must in Beijing, but because he is too low-key, he rarely attends various poetry meetings, and everyone rarely hears it. Today, I heard that it was true. After the two pillars of incense passed, Qiao Jingqiu played two tunes in a row, one was "Mountains and Flowing Water", and the other was "Autumn Moon in the Han Palace". The four young ladies who painted painted while listening to the music. At first, the sound of staggering in the main hall was endless, and gradually everyone was attracted by the sound of music, and the sound of conversation slowly lowered......

The song ended for a long time, and everyone was intoxicated with it for a long time and couldn't extricate themselves. Emperor Xiping shouted, "Okay! The crowd realized that it was over. The four people who painted also completed the painting at this time and showed it in front of everyone one by one.

"Qiao Jingqiu, you are the one who plays the piano, can you tell me whose painting is closer to what you thought when you played the piano?" Imperial Concubine Xie Wanru said.

"The imperial concubine, the courtiers are not talented, they are not good at Danqing, and the imperial concubine also said before, the painter listens to the sound of the piano and draws the picture according to what he thinks in his heart, and the courtiers are not talented, so they cannot be judged." Qiao replied neither humbly nor arrogantly.

“……”

"Okay, Imperial Concubine, since the daughter of Scholar Qiao doesn't know Danqing, it's better to let the Imperial Aunt evaluate it! I always remember that my father always said that the emperor's aunt's danqing was a must in the Dayan country, and not only the literati and writers of my Dayan country sought after the emperor's aunt's danqing, but even several surrounding countries also came to Dayan to seek it. ”

The eldest princess Huimin, the old princess of Weinan who was sitting at the bottom, got up and replied: "I didn't expect Your Majesty to remember that little joke when the old body was young. ”

"Imperial Aunt, please."

The eldest princess Huimin got up, slowly walked to the paintings of the four, and after her careful inspection, she finally stopped at the painting of the right minister's son's house, and said: "I heard that the eldest son of the right minister's family is full of poetry and books, and is proficient in poetry, but I didn't expect to have some attainments in Danqing." This ink painting "Xiaoxiang Picture" does have the style of the previous generation of Dong Yuan, and this is the best. ”

"What the imperial aunt said is naturally good, since the son of the right phase of the wind family has been appreciated by his aunt, come and go to Baoguang Pavilion to get Dong Yuan's "Xiaoxiang Tu" authentic work to reward the eldest son of the right phase family." Emperor Xiping said happily

"Your Majesty is rewarded, and the ministers are afraid." Right Prime Minister Feng Zhao led all the family members to kneel, "Feng Xiang is not polite, I see that the eldest son of the Feng Xiang family can copy such a similar "Xiaoxiang Tu", I am afraid that the true work of this painting has been longing for a long time, and a good painting also needs to be appreciated by heroes, so you don't have to refuse." ”

The eldest princess continued, "The other Danqing are also leaders, and sure enough, now that the younger generation is full of talents, I am very fortunate in the country!" ”

"What the imperial aunt said is that several other people have rewards." Emperor Xiping waved his hand, "The daughter of the scholar Qiao also plays the piano very well, this 'Nine Heavens Huanpei' is the love of the Queen Mother, today you can play it It is your fate, it is your own family, I will also reward you!" ”

"Courtiers, thank you, Your Majesty." The palace people handed the piano to Qiao Jingqiu, and Qiao Jingqiu held the piano and touched it again and again, and her joy was expressed.

Nan Lingmo looked at the expressions on the faces of these people, and pinched together fiercely in her heart, secretly blaming herself for how blind she was in her previous life, so she felt that Emperor Xiping's actions were to sincerely appreciate the learned people and admire their talents, but now it seems that they are just selling fame and reputation! 'Huh,' she laughed to herself, shook her head and drank a glass of wine.

Nan Lingmo's every move was nothing unusual to the people around her, but it was a little different in the eyes of Yun Tianhong, who had been paying attention to her. He found that Nanling Mo always raised a wry smile at the corner of his mouth, and this smile seemed to be very bitter.

"Your Majesty, you have seen that so many young ladies of the family have shown their talents, but our future Princess Yun has not shown her talents yet! Why don't you come up and show off your talents? ”

Nan Lingmo suddenly heard someone call her name and asked her to show her talent. She immediately got up and looked at the stage, and found that the person who spoke turned out to be Xie Wanru, the vicious woman who had gouged out her heart with her own hands. Nanling Mo couldn't wait to rush up and choke Xie Wanru's neck and kill her, but she didn't lose her mind, and replied coldly: "Imperial concubine, the courtiers are not good at talents, and they have only followed their mother concubine in the army since they were children. ”

Xie Wanru didn't expect that someone would dare to refuse her so directly, and said with a smile: "I heard that Princess Zhennan was also a talented woman who was famous all over the world, and the county lord would naturally not be bad if she was by her side." ”

"Although the imperial concubine's words are good, but the first mother's name is all over the world for her medical skills, and she is known as the 'soul saving fairy'. Nan Lingmo's answer made everyone present laugh in a low voice, and the imperial concubine's face suddenly became a little pale.

Emperor Xiping was just about to say something, when he heard a colder voice sound: "Is the imperial concubine dissatisfied with the princess of this king?" ”

"What does King Yun mean by this?" The imperial concubine suppressed the dissatisfaction in her heart and said.

"How can this king's princess entertain the public at will?"

Emperor Xiping said: "Seventh brother's words are wrong, today is Chinese New Year's Eve, the young ladies of the family show their talents and knowledge more, and it is also the hope that Shu can see the future of the Great Yan Kingdom!" ”

"Since Your Majesty said so, then Ren'an can only be ugly no matter how shallow he is." Nan Lingmo glanced at Yun Tianhong and motioned him not to make a sound, and continued: "The courtiers have stayed in the army since they were children, and they are not good at poetry and songs. The courtiers are stupid, they have only learned to beat the drum with their mother, and I hope that Your Majesty and the ministers present will not dislike the courtiers for being vulgar and stupid. ”

Drumming in the army requires strong arm strength and deep internal force of the drummer, and is familiar with the situation in the army. Emperor Xiping thought that this Ren'an County Lord was estimated to be a subplot of carving insects, and he didn't know much. So he said: "I remember that the year before last, Beirong once dedicated a big drum with a diameter of six feet, which is commonly translated as the Jinyang Drum, but no one in this palace will use this drum, since Ren'an said that you can beat the drum, then use this drum!" ”

When Nanling Mo was Li Yunqing in her previous life, as a female teacher, she once accompanied the former prince to patrol Beirong, and she saw the Beirong people dancing this great encouragement. However, she is frail, and although she likes it, she has never learned half of it. Thinking about it now, that scene still makes her blood boil.

Emperor Xiping asked people to carry this drum to embarrass Nan Lingmo, after all, she refuted the imperial concubine in public and gave face to face, and King Yun didn't give him face, he always contradicted him, and it was not bad to take the opportunity to kill them.

The palace people brought this big drum and placed it in the center. Nan Lingmo didn't prepare clothes in advance, so she went up. At this time, the young lady of the Anguo Mansion stood up and said: "Your Majesty, this war drum Jing Sa has also seen it in the army, Jing Sa thinks that it is most appropriate to use sword dancing as a war drum to help fun, I wonder if Your Majesty can allow Jing Sa to dance the sword to help the fun?" ”

"Okay."

I saw Jing Sa smile at Nanling Mo, took the soft sword handed by the palace people, and walked to the center of the hall, the two of them took a good position and smiled at each other, only to hear the sound of "bang", everyone didn't expect that Nan Lingmo's small body actually had such a big energy to beat the drum. Then Jing Sa also began to dance the sword according to the drum sound of Nanling Mo.

"Knock, knock, knock......" Nanlingmo's rhythm is getting faster and denser. Jing Sa followed the sound of the drums and began to speed up his moves. Everyone seemed to see the soldiers who were ready to go, the momentum was soaring, ready to go, the war drums sounded, and the flag was swaying in the sky.

"Knock knock, knock knock......" Jing Sa's sword glittered under the candlelight of the Yixian Palace, making everyone seem to have seen the soldiers fighting the battlefield with their own eyes, and the wolf smoke was everywhere......

"Knock...... Boom...... Dong ...... "People let go and saw the sadness of the corpses everywhere after the war, thinking of the soldiers who went out with them, who lost their lives in the war and could never come back, and thinking of those who died in battle to defend the frontier, so that all the soldiers present couldn't help but have red eyes."

"Boom... Knock knock... Knock knock... Knock knock... Boom... "The triumphant drum sounded, and the soldiers returned to the court, and the joy of reuniting with their relatives and the pain of losing their family members were mixed......

The last drum fell, and Jing Sa also took advantage of the situation to collect his swordsmanship. Everyone couldn't come back to their senses for a long time, and Yun Tianhong took the lead in applauding, "Pap, pap, pap", and the applause was thunderous. Yun Tianhong saw that there was a fine sweat on Nan Lingmo's forehead, and her chest rose and fell slightly, and she was happy and puzzled: how could she interpret the situation on the battlefield so clearly, and she only stayed in the military tent without a shadow and never went to the battlefield...... It seems that this Nanling Mo is getting more and more interesting.

"Your Majesty, you see what the concubine said is right, this Lord of Ren'an is really a Hui Lanxin. Look at how well she plays this drum, it's really a 'blockbuster'! ”

"The imperial concubine's false praise Ren'an can't afford it. Ren'an can't be called a good blue heart, but he just has no strength. Nanling Mo said with a sneer.

The Empress Dowager Renhui glared at Xie Wanru fiercely, and said with a blank face: "Emperor, now this different kind of wine has made the mourning family have also seen it, and this wonderful song Danqing mourning family has also appreciated it, and this encouraging mourning family has also seen it, and the mourning family is also lacking, so the mourning family and Concubine De will go back first." ”

Everyone immediately got up and said, "Congratulations to the Queen Mother, congratulations to the Concubine." ”
