Chapter 78: Sending the Message Through Song
Su Tong's matter passed quickly, the emperor was still drinking and laughing with everyone with great interest, and the guests quickly forgot about Fang Cai's unhappiness, which had nothing to do with them.
The banquet reached its climax, and the emperor proposed that the young ladies and sons of each family perform programs, and since it was the emperor's Chrysostom, everyone was naturally happy.
Originally, they took their children to various banquets to choose their daughters-in-law and sons-in-law, but they didn't like it this time, and they may be able to match up next time.
Shen Ruobing, as the daughter of the Criminal Department, was one of the more outstanding in appearance at this rose event, so she naturally wanted to make King Chen look at her with admiration in this banquet.
He heard before that King Chen had a soft spot for Princess Chen because of a song and dance, she had practiced dance at home for two years, and today she would definitely attract the attention of King Chen, and he thought it would be good to be a side concubine, but now it is different, Princess Chen is dead, Princess Chen's position, of course she can work hard.
"The courtier, Shen Ruobing, is willing to dance a dance for everyone to celebrate the lord of Qinghe."
"Okay, then you can get started." The emperor said lightly.
"Your Majesty, the courtiers have a request, and I have heard that His Royal Highness King Chen's flute is playing very well, I wonder if His Royal Highness King Chen is willing to cooperate with the courtiers to sing a song?"
Everyone looked at King Chen, and King Chen's jade flute was very beautiful, but he always had a cold face on weekdays, and no one would mess with him, not to mention that King Chen only blew a song of spring river flowers and moonlit nights for Princess Chen, and this is just a rumor.
"Miss Shen is afraid that she will be disappointed, this king doesn't know this song, and she doesn't plan to perform with anyone." After finishing speaking, he poured himself a drink again.
Shen Ruobing's face was ugly, and there were already people in the audience who let out chuckles, and even sneered at them.
"Hmph, you still dare to want to accompany her with King Chen, what kind of person is King Chen, except for Princess Chen, who can let him give a smile."
"It's, that is, if you want to be in the limelight, you are disliked, you deserve it, you deserve it."
These words fell into Shen Ruobing's ears, and her delicate face became a little distorted, but since she had already promised to perform, she couldn't just walk off the stage like this, and she didn't know what it would be said when the time came.
Thinking of this, Shen Ruobing said lightly: "Since the prince can't do it, then let the little girl perform alone." After finishing the words, there was a maid for its accompaniment, only to see Shen Ruobing dancing lightly, light as a swallow, body as soft as clouds, arms as soft as bones, step by step lotus flowers, such as butterflies flying among the flowers, such as gurgling water, such as the bright moon in the deep mountains, such as the morning light in the alley, such as the round dew on the tip of the lotus leaf, which makes people drink good wine, drunk and unable to restrain themselves.
During the dance, Shen Ruobing didn't forget to look at the direction where King Chen was seated, how difficult it was to fall into the flowers, and the water was ruthless, King Chen still poured himself a drink, and he didn't care about her performance.
King Chen didn't plan to participate in this rose banquet, if it weren't for his aunt's recognition of a righteous daughter was something worth celebrating, he wouldn't have bothered to participate. It's better to drink in the room, at least you can see her when you're slightly drunk.
Shen Ruobing's thoughts were seen by everyone present, the Queen Mother originally wanted to give this Shen Ruobing to King Chen as a concubine, but this woman was really not smart enough, seeing that she liked King Chen so much, I was afraid that she would not be used for it at night, and in the end she could only give up.
After finishing the song, Shen Ruobing slowly got up, saluted the few people on the seat, and slowly retreated.
"Sister Shen's guqin is really good." Zhu Yunlan applauded and smiled.
"Miss Shen's dancing is really good, but the flowers are ruthless, and Brother Chen Wang will not take a fancy to you." Xiyue did not forget to pour cold water.
She just can't get used to those pretentious ladies, and she spends her days playing the piano, painting, or talking about right and wrong together. The talents learned are not for interest, but for some purpose, such a person, Xiyue is not willing to be with it. On the contrary, Chu Lixue's temperament made her feel very attached.
"Lord Xiyue, is this mocking? Is it wrong for me to like His Royal Highness King Chen? Shen Ruobing said with a look of being wronged.
"The county lord is not laughing at you, it's not wrong for you to like Brother Chenwang, but it's not good for you to trouble Brother Chenwang." Xiyue said lightly.
When she boarded, Shen Ruobing's face turned pale, wasn't she saying that she was shamelessly pestering King Chen? It's just that it's entangled, and King Chen is not hers, why can't she be entangled.
"The county lord looks down on me so much, but does the county lord think he can tie King Chen's heart?" Shen Ruobing said coldly.
Hearing this, Xiyue was furious, is this saying that she likes her cousin? It's really a villain's heart. Xiyue was just about to open her mouth to refute, but was pulled by Chu Lixue.
After a while, I heard Chu Lixue say lightly, "Why does Miss Shen have to misunderstand the county lord of Xiyue like this, the county lord is just telling you a fact, Miss Shen is so angry with her, isn't she afraid of annoying other princes?" ”
One sentence is not salty or light, so that Shen Ruobing was speechless for a while, Xiyue County Lord She naturally can't afford to offend, but she can't just say this right now. Immediately provoked: "Since the county lord doesn't look down on the talent of the little girl, I want to come to the county lord's talent is even better, otherwise please ask the county lord to teach it." ”
Xiyue looked at Chu Lixue, with a look of help, she likes martial arts, she doesn't like those things like piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, if she is asked to perform martial arts, then she must beat Shen Ruobing all over the ground to find her teeth, if it is singing and dancing, she still won't be embarrassed.
"Miss Shen, this is really difficult for a strong man, Princess Xiyue is wearing a strong costume today, how can she show her talents, Miss Shen oppresses people with her own advantages, this is too ......"
"It seems that the county lord of Qinghe also looks down on the talent of the little girl, otherwise the county lord of Qinghe can also perform in place of Princess Xiyue."
Shen Ruobing had long forgotten that she was now in the Eldest Princess's Mansion, so aggressive that her father and mother broke out in a cold sweat, even if she was a righteous daughter, she was also the county lord, how could she dare to be so arrogant, wouldn't she be afraid that people would settle accounts after the autumn?
"Okay, since Miss Shen wants to see the talent of this county lord so much, then she will be ugly." Immediately, Chu Lixue nodded at Xiangzhi and motioned for her to bring the guqin.
Xiangzhi came over with the guqin, which was made of fine sandalwood, with a dragon pattern and phoenix carved on the body, and the strings were as tight as a gossamer. The guqin is made by famous craftsmen in the palace. It was a dowry given by the Queen Mother to the eldest princess. Now the eldest princess has given it to her again.
Chu Lixue bowed slightly towards the few people in the upper seat, and sat down gracefully. The jade fingers were lightly raised, revealing the slender and white jade fingers, stroking the surface of the piano, contemplating and pondering, the sound of the piano sounded in vain in the hall, the sound of the piano was tactful and a little sad, and immediately, Chu Lixue's red lips opened lightly, and the singing voice slowly floated out. Yun wants to dress and flowers, the spring breeze blows Revlon, if it is not for the jade mountain, it will meet under the moon in Yaotai, a branch of red dew and incense, Yunyu Wushan is in vain, and it seems to ask who is in the Han Palace, poor Feiyan leans on new makeup......
Everyone listened attentively, only King Chen was shocked, no one had heard this song except King Chen, so the person who could sing this song must be Chu Lixue.
King Chen's eyes were wet, and she came back, finally back to her side.
After the song, everyone was still having endless aftertastes, and the emperor took the lead in applauding, "Good singing voice, good tune, I don't know what the name of this song is, I have never heard it." ”
"Back to the emperor, this song is called Qingping Tune, and it is a tune from my hometown." Chu Lixue said lightly. I bowed to the West in my heart, and read the original song of this song from afar.
"Qingping tune? It's very good, please write it out from the county lord, and I can listen to it from time to time in the palace. "The emperor knows that the woman in front of him is disdainful of the glory and wealth in the palace, not to mention that it is said that the medicine king Gu is rich and rivals the country, and she is even more rare.
"Yes, Your Majesty, Qinghe will write the song later and hand it over to Father-in-law Qian." Chu Lixue said lightly.
King Chen's gaffe was quickly discovered by Shangguan Tianyu, and he immediately lightly touched the other party's arm, "She's back." With four simple words, Shangguan Tianyu looked at the people on the stage in disbelief when he heard it. I thought it was just a similar appearance and similar temperament, but I didn't know that the phoenix had returned from nirvana.
"There is a beautiful person, I will never forget it, I will not see it for a day, and I will think like crazy." Someone among the guests suddenly said this, and everyone looked for prestige It was the man in a wheelchair in white with a handsome face, Jiang Tian.
From the first time he saw Chu Lixue just now, he knew that Chu Lixue was back, but since she claimed to be Ling Qingya, she must have arranged for her, so she didn't say anything, and kept waiting for things to develop with the attitude of watching the show.
Shen Ruobing listened to Chu Lixue's piano playing and singing, and blushed when she landed, if there was a hole in the ground, she couldn't get into it immediately. It's really embarrassing, I thought that a country woman didn't have a famous teacher to teach, in this case it must be embarrassing, but I didn't expect that it was myself who was ashamed.
"I didn't expect the county lord of Qinghe to be so proficient in music and rhythm, Ruobing was really offended just now, and I hope that the county lord Haihan." Shen Ruobing bowed and said.
"Of course, the county lord will naturally not care about you." Chu Lixue said lightly.
Hearing this, Shen Ruobing slowly came to his senses, and he blamed himself for being too reckless, but King Chen ...... When King Chen heard the song of the lord of Qinghe County, he was obviously surprised.
Could it be that King Chen is in love with the lord of Qinghe? This is impossible, doesn't King Chen have a soft spot for Princess Chen? How so? How so? Shen Ruobing was really unwilling in her heart.
At the end of the banquet, Chu Lixue, as the host, wanted to send the guests to the door, and when Jiang Tian passed by her, he asked softly, "Is it you?" Pal? ”
"It's me, I'm back."
Hearing this, Jiang Tian pulled his lips and smiled, "It's good to come back." "In just four words, there are many, many concerns.
That night, when Chu Lixue was about to go to bed, she suddenly smelled a smell of blood in the room......
