Chapter 96
"Guifei Niangniang, I told you, if you don't resist, you can keep the child, and if you resist, you will die together."
After speaking, the leading eunuch used force to make her open her mouth, and then raised the wine jug, wanting to pour the wine into Mu Wanqing's mouth.
Sun Bing's eyes widened in fright, watching the spout slowly tilt down, she twisted her head to the other side hard, a small column of water slowly flowed down, Mu Wanqing struggled indiscriminately, the wine wet her collar, making her shiver hard.
Sun Bing was poured medicinal wine, and the abdominal pain was unbearable after a while!
On the second day, Sun Bing's body had been hastily buried, and the child in her womb, a baby girl, was handed over to other concubines for foster care.
In a blink of an eye, it is the annual talent selection day, and the selection is to choose some women who are good at talking about the piano and dancing to enter the palace, and they specialize in dancing and playing the piano.
This kind of thing has always been handed over to Su's mother by Zuo Tingxue, but unfortunately, Su's mother was sick today, so Zuo Tingxue handed over this matter to Xiaomin, and she listened to it behind the screen herself.
Xiao Min tested several people, but none of them were satisfied, Zuo Tingxue was still watching silently behind the screen, she didn't want to get involved in this kind of thing, but Zuo Yunfeng told her that her cousin Shen Yan would come this year, and Zuo Tingxue was not very relieved, so she watched there!
Her screen can see the outside from the inside, but the outside can't see the inside clearly.
At this time, someone came up, she was wearing a juan gauze gold silk embroidered brocade dress, and the sleeves and skirt were embroidered with gold silk embroidery thread, which looked particularly dazzling in the sun.
She is Dongchu County Zhuqian, her father is Dongchu Liyanghou, her mother and Yan Junxian's mother are sisters, her father has made countless military exploits, so she was made a marquis, and she became the county lord with her father.
The crowd below let out exclamations, among the many official ladies, Zhang Qian's appearance belongs to the middle and upper, and then today's dress, there is a feeling of being glamorous, so that everyone has long forgotten the other people who have played just now.
Zhang Qian seemed to be very satisfied with this effect, and began to concentrate on stroking the piano, the melodious sound of the piano floated, the tune was smooth, and it sounded pleasant to the ear.
Zuo Tingxue trembled when she heard the sound of the piano, this piano song was Liu Ruyan's own song, isn't Liu Ruyan dead?
Could it be that she was born again, just like herself?
Thinking of this, Zuo Tingxue hurriedly saw Zhang Qian's appearance through the screen, her movements were not Liu Ruyan's movements?
After the song was finished, the audience burst into thunderous applause.
"The tune is so-so, you go back to your seat and wait for news." Xiao Min didn't praise this person, her music and Zuo Tingxue are just a big deal.
Zhang Qian felt very uncomfortable after hearing Xiao Min's words, so she bowed stupidly and returned to the position under the stage.
"Next, Shen Yan on the eighteenth."
Finally arrived at Shen Yan, Zuo Tingxue was very happy in her heart, although her cousin was honest, she was extremely capable of doing things, and she was affectionate and righteous, leaving her in the palace was much better than letting Feng Jinyi find some people who didn't know her identity to enter the palace.
Shen Yan was dressed as usual, wearing a white dress with plain makeup, which formed an obvious contrast with the others who had been carefully dressed before, and he was light and graceful, like a fairy who had fallen into the world by mistake.
Zuo Tingxue's eyes lit up, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
Zuo Yunfeng strongly recommended Shen Yan to come, but she wanted to see how capable this Shen Yan was.
Although there were a lot of exclamations in the audience, there were also many voices that were not optimistic.
"It's like this, it's still compared to the county lord, I really don't know how thick the sky is!"
"Dressed so poorly and sour, it's not as good-looking as the county lord......"
The people below are talking louder and louder, and the more they talk, the more people are talking, and the Buddha is like an appointment, loudly denouncing Shen Yan, which seems to be noisy.
Shen Yan had already sat down, ready, and looked up at the people in the audience who were looking at her like a joke, and there was something she didn't understand in her heart.
Her eyes moved to Zhang Qian's body, but she saw Zhang Qian's appearance of what you can do.
Fuqin needs a relatively quiet environment, but Zhang Qian secretly found some people to make a scene, and it was a mess, and few people could calm down and play, let alone let others enjoy the beautiful music.
Although there were people who tried to stop it, it didn't work, and those people simply turned a deaf ear and continued to make a loud noise.
Shen Yan's expression was still calm, and he couldn't see a trace of panic and uneasiness, raised his slender hand, and was about to stroke the qin, but he heard Zuo Tingxue's gloomy voice.
"It's noisy, come on, see who is still disturbing the palace listening to the music below, pull it out directly!" As soon as the words fell, the entire venue fell silent for a moment, and as soon as Zuo Tingxue spoke, no one dared to open his mouth again.
Shen Yan was unmoved, and directly plucked the strings.
"Qiangβ"
A sonorous and powerful piano sound stunned everyone, and the atmosphere became a little subtle.
Shen Yan continued to play, the sound of the piano was high-pitched, exciting, everyone was stunned, as if they were in a fierce battlefield, their ears seemed to be echoing the sound of horns on the battlefield, and the tragic scene of thousands of troops and horses fighting to the death was depicted in front of them.
I don't know how long it took, but the song slowly and tactfully went down, and the victory or defeat of the war was decided, and it was brisk, which made people breathe a sigh of relief, and the joy in their hearts also arose.
However, the style of the song suddenly jumped, and suddenly became deep again, which caught people off guard, from light and joyful to tragic and poignant, as if it had experienced a huge disaster, and formed a strong contrast with the previous one, but there was no sense of abruptness, only felt that I felt endless sadness from the fluttering song.
Shen Yan on the stage seemed to have already entered the realm of selflessness, and at the end of the song, tears also crossed his cheeks and dripped on the strings.
The competition hall was still quiet without a sound, and even after Shen Yan stood up and saluted, everyone had not come to their senses.
"Okayβ"
Zuo Tingxue suddenly clapped her hands and broke the silence: "This is the song that really deserves full marks!" It's simply amazing, and the attainments are quite high! β
Xiao Min also nodded approvingly on the side: "It's really rare." β
Zhang Qian was unwilling, her eyes were frighteningly red, and when she saw that Shen Yan not only did not make a fool of herself, but also got such a high evaluation, she couldn't wait to tear Shen Yan apart directly.
Among so many subjects, she is best at this piano skill, she didn't think about losing to Shen Yan, how could she be willing!
Zuo Tingxue looked at Shen Yan, this woman who seems to be weak and can't help the wind, but there is cold perseverance in her bones, this woman is not simple.
After listening to Xue and Jiu'er beside him whisper a few times, Jiu'er opened his mouth and asked, "What kind of song is Miss Shen playing?" β
Shen Yan replied: "This is a song I made myself, named "God of War Words""
"Interesting." Listen to Xue Dao on the left, "God of War words? It's appropriate, but why is the second half so sad, is the god of war dead on the battlefield? β
Shen Yan's eyes were dim and uncertain, and a trace of imperceptible hatred flashed in his eyes: "No." The god of war did not die on the battlefield, but he ended up bleak. β
"It turned out to be a sad ending." Zuo Tingxue's eyes flashed, staring at Shen Yan, wanting to see something from her face.
After the selection was over, Zhang Qian and Shen Yan both stayed, and the reason why Zuo Tingxue left Zhang Qian was to wonder, how did she know Liu Ruyan's piano skills?
When Zuo Tingxue came to the harem, someone reported that Feng Jinyi asked Zuo Tingxue to go to Yuwang's Mansion.
Since Feng Jinyi became the emperor, he has not been to the Yuwang Mansion, thinking back to the days when he was in the Yuwang Mansion, Zuo Tingxue is still very happy.
Zuo Tingxue raised her eyebrows, she didn't understand why Feng Jinyi suddenly wanted to go to Yuwang's Mansion and let her go too?
Zuo Tingxue and Xiao Min hurriedly went to Yuwang's Mansion.
When she entered the courtyard of King Yu's Mansion, Fang Zhe had already hurried over.
"Queen, you are here, the emperor is going to blow up the kitchen!"
Zuo Tingxue looked at Fang Zhe with a dark face, and couldn't say half a word for a while.
And Feng Jinyi, who was standing on the side, said: "It is said that a gentleman is far away from cooking, but I feel that the one who can cook for his beloved is the real gentleman." β
Zuo Tingxue glanced at him, "If you don't know how to cook, you have to cook it yourself?" β
Feng Jinyi sneered: "I can learn in the future." β
Seeing his appearance, Zuo Tingxue said: "You are the emperor, you live a fine life of fine clothes and food, what kind of cooking skills do you have nothing to learn?" β
After speaking, he glanced at Fang Zhe, seeing that he was a little weak, Fang Zhe coughed lightly, but his eyes were nowhere to be placed.
"Isn't the emperor here to cook a meal for you, the emperor misses the past when you cooked for him, so ......"
Just as he was about to continue, he saw Zuo Tingxue's face getting darker and darker, so he obediently closed his mouth.
Zuo Tingxue looked at the miserable kitchen that was made by the two of them, thinking that it would be too late to come to the palace today, and in retrospect, it was true that there was no freedom and happiness like before.
Feng Jinyi also sighed: "Fortunately, there are many kitchens in the palace, otherwise everyone in the palace would have to drink the wind first." β
Fang Zhe looked at the two sheep next to the kitchen, and suddenly said, "Why don't we eat roasted whole sheep today?" I remember that the queen loves to eat roasted whole sheep. β
"Roast whole lamb? Isn't that how to eat at the border? It is rare for a cook in Dongchu City to roast whole sheep. Feng Jinyi said.
Zuo Tingxue turned her head to look at the two sheep, the corners of her lips moved, and she stopped talking.
Seeing her like this, Xiao Min said, "Then eat roasted whole sheep, and it's not difficult to find a cook." β
Zuo Tingxue said: "Don't be so troublesome, I will." β
Feng Jinyi and everyone looked at Zuo Tingxue one after another, and they were all a little surprised.
Zuo Tingxue hasn't cooked for a long time, and she used to make some food by herself.
She used to like to follow her uncles to the mountains and forests to hunt, and then get game to eat, and occasionally climbed the mountains with her brother to pick wild vegetables and fruits.
It was because she met Yan Congxuan later that she broke her peaceful life!
