Bai Yiyan still didn't wait for the head of the Tai Hospital to show her injuries, and heard that the person was still left with Concubine Li. But Cui Guifei's female official brought her a small bottle of jade condensing cream, saying that it was a special scar removal holy product in the palace, which was obtained by the prince with great effort when he went to the south last year. Bai Yiyan was also free and easy, although it would be a pity to leave a scar, but she didn't think it was a big deal, but Cui Guifei rewarded such a valuable thing, which made her a little frightened.

The evening flower banquet also opened in Nanyuan. As the name suggests, this flower feast is also made of a variety of food, and then made wine with nectar, which is very ingenious.

When Cui Guifei arrived with a group of concubines, Bai Yiyan noticed that Concubine Li, who had stopped the head of the hospital, did not come. Cui Guifei still looks smiling in front of people.

When the banquet opened, the ladies who couldn't help it took the initiative to show their talents and make a reputation. Bai Yiyan's original purpose of going to the banquet was mainly for the scar on his leg, and his mother specially instructed him to keep a low profile, so he would not take the initiative to attract attention.

She sat not far from a few friends with whom she had a good relationship, admiring the talents of the other girls, while relaxing and feasting, and by the way, she had a few drinks.

The girls who dared to go on stage did not perform badly. Wu Zijiao is a very outstanding one of these girls, a song of Mrs. Xiang, singing with a heartache. But the most unexpected thing for Bai Yiyan was Zhao Wanzhu. She played a guqin Sauvignon Blanc, with skillful fingering, elegant rhyme, and great attainments, which was completely different from her usual domineering appearance, and really won the applause of the house.

Wan Ping originally didn't plan to go on stage, but Zhao Wanzhu picked her. After Zhao Wanzhu thanked Cui Guifei after the performance, she said provocatively to Wan Ping: "I have heard for a long time that Miss Wan of the Funan Hou family is also an expert in musical instruments, I don't know what Miss Wan thinks of my Sauvignon Blanc?" Why don't Miss Wan also come to the stage and let us enjoy it? You're not so good at being on stage, are you? When Wan Ping heard this, she knew that if she didn't go, she was afraid that the entire imperial capital would laugh at Funanhou Mansion tomorrow, so she could only fight hard.

Zhao Wanzhu actually rolled her eyes, looked at Bai Yiyan again, and said: "I heard that Miss Bai and Miss Wan from the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion have a good relationship, and they came back from the border city, I don't know if the border city also has talent teaching, and it shouldn't be bad." If Miss Bai can dance with Miss Wan or something, I'm afraid it will be even more exciting. Wang Mingxia, Liang Zhuo and others also clapped their hands and said yes.

Bai Yiyan knew that Zhao Wanzhu's purpose was to make people look ugly. Wan Ping is actually not good at the guqin, although her pipa is better, but compared with the girls who have performed before, it does not stand out. And the purpose of pointing at her is nothing more than to guess that her foot injury has not healed, and even if she has no foot injury, how can a woman who is not in the imperial capital all the year round be as familiar with the skills of the boudoir as the young lady next to her, which just ruined Wan Ping's performance. All of a sudden, the two young ladies who were against Zhao Guogong's Mansion were embarrassed, and Zhao Wanzhu's abacus sounded.

Bai Yiyan could only say respectfully to Concubine Cui Guifei: "Although the courtier is not talented, she is also willing to perform a song for the concubine with Miss Wan." It's just that the courtiers didn't bring dancing clothes, and Miss Wan didn't seem to bring a pipa. I wonder if there is anyone I can borrow? I also want to borrow an unedged dagger. ”

Princess Wuyang preemptively replied: "Miss Bai is about the same size as me, I have extra dance clothes, you might as well go to the side hall with my maid to change." I also have a pipa, and I'll send it to the side hall in a while. As for the short sword, I can ask someone to go to the Zhangtai Hall to see if there is one. ”

Bai Yiyan said yes, and Wan Ping went down to the side hall under the worried eyes of Xue Liangyu and others. Bai Yiyan sent the others to discuss with Wan Ping the tune to be played for a while. Wan Ping was a little hesitant: "I like this song, we have played it before, but do you really think we can win Zhao Wanzhu with this song?" ”

Bai Yiyan reassured her, and then asked Bi Rui to put on makeup and dance clothes for her. Wearing a bright red dance dress, wearing it on her body, there is a different kind of smart style.

When they got out of the side hall, they found that Emperor Wei had also come. It turned out that when Princess Wuyang went to Zhangtai Hall to go to the short sword, Emperor Wei happened to be there with a group of courtiers, and he heard that some people danced and used swords, Emperor Wei felt curious, so he came to take a look. Bai Yiyan saw Emperor Wei for the first time, Emperor Wei should not be young, his face was sallow, his eye sockets were deep, probably he had been hollowed out by wine all the year round, and his eyes fell on the young woman attending the banquet. The princes who accompanied him were all Zhou Zheng's appearance, and the crown prince was one of Emperor Li's own. As soon as Bai Yiyan appeared, Yuwen Moyuan's eyes quietly followed.

Emperor Wei looked at Bai Yiyan and said suspiciously: "You said that the girl who asked for a short sword to dance?" It's not a small amount of courage. If you dance well, you will be rewarded, if you don't jump well, you will use a sword in front of the emperor, and I will be punished. ”

Bai Yiyan had long heard of Emperor Wei's moody name, and knew that he had better not provoke this kind of person, so he lowered his eyebrows and took the sword. Motioned to Wan Ping to play the pipa.

With the sound of the pipa, Bai Yiyan danced, and she sang while dancing:

The sky is clear and the clouds are far away, and the wind is rustling and the birds are scattered

In front of the array, the golden Ge Yao, the iron armor is sparkling, and the flag is rolled

The yellow sand is beating the drums, and the brave soldiers are vying for the first

The twilight of the day stopped, and the chaos was abandoned

The clear water stains the rivers and rivers, and the bones are tired

The body is dead, and the guards and the country sigh

Mu Xiao Xiao Xi is independent, especially ask Lang Xi when he will return

A short sword slowly moved with her voice, bringing people as if they were on the front lines of war. The vast land, the cruelty of war, knocked on everyone's hearts step by step with her dance steps.

The pipa music played a sense of desolation and solemnity, and the singing and singing were deep.

When she sang to the brave warriors competing for the lead, her red dance dress flew up and down, and a short sword danced vigorously, as if it was the blood of the soldiers, swaying endlessly on the battlefield. The pipa also gradually became faster, and the breath of killing flowed from the music non-stop.

As she sang the next few lines, her figure slowed down, with a sense of post-war heaviness.

By the time of the last sentence, the sound of the lute had turned into a poignant lament. And her singing voice also became sad, as if there was a sense of heaven and earth crying together. Her sword was already in her sleeve at this time, leaving a fluttering figure empty, and slowly retreated to Wan Ping's side.

The dance is over, and everyone is still reminiscing. At this time, I heard a delicate praise from far and near: "It's so good to dance." The pipa is also good. What's the name of this tune? ”

When everyone looked, it turned out to be Concubine Li. This concubine is not young in terms of age, but she still seems to be in her prime, but she is very delicate. Emperor Wei took Concubine Li's hand and asked, "Concubine Li, why are you here?" Isn't it uncomfortable? ”

Concubine Li leaned towards the emperor: "The concubine's body is already much better." I heard that the emperor and Sister Cui were here, so I wanted to come over and join in the fun, but I didn't expect to see such a wonderful song just now. The concubine was also thinking about watching from the side. I haven't heard this song before, what's the name? ”

Wan Ping replied forward: "Back to Concubine Li, this song is called "The Levy Has Not Been Returned". It's a lyric and song made by Yi Lang. ”

Concubine Li looked at her: "It turned out to be the young lady of the Hou family in Funan." If you are both talented and talented, you play the pipa very well. As for who this stooner is? ”

When Bai Yiyan heard the point to herself, she could only bow down and reply: "Concubine Hui Li, she is the courtier, and her father is the Marquis of Dingyuan." ”

Concubine Li asked her to raise her head and said with a smile: "It turned out to be the Marquis of Dingyuan's family, and she is really a lovely girl." Not only does he sing well, but he can also compose lyrics and songs. I heard you've been in the border city before? No wonder he has a good sword that can dance. It's really eye-opening. Then he smiled and shook Emperor Wei's hand and said, "Your Majesty, the concubines like Miss Bai very much, and the emperor should reward her well." ”

Emperor Wei looked at Concubine Li's coquettishness, and was very useful, and hurriedly said, "What Concubine Ai said is true." What do you think is the best thing to enjoy? ”

Concubine Li's eyes fluttered, and she giggled and said, "Miss Bai looks like Xiao Liu's age. What could be better than a good marriage for this girl's family? ”

Emperor Wei nodded, looked Bai Yiyan up and down, and then said, "I said before your song that there is a reward for dancing. How about giving you the title of Princess of Xiling? ”

Yuwen Moyuan listened to Emperor Wei's words, his eyes darkened, and he quietly retracted his hand into his sleeve. And the sixth prince, Xiling Wang Yuwen Mochi, bowed down and thanked Lord Longen.

Bai Yiyan was taken aback, his mind was confused, and he didn't even have time to look at Yuwen Mochi, so he immediately knelt on the ground and blurted out uncontrollably: "The courtiers are not worthy of the king of Xiling, and I ask the emperor to choose another virtuous one." ”

Emperor Wei was obviously unhappy: "What? You still don't look down on my son? Or do you have a marriage engagement? ”

Bai Yiyan had no choice but to say: "The courtiers came alone today, and the elders in the family may have any arrangements, and the courtiers may not know." ”

Emperor Wei stared at her gloomily and said, "I am the Son of Heaven, Chrysostom and Yuyan, what marriage contract can be better than marrying the prince, huh?" Even if you have any arrangements at home, just leave it at that. ”

Bai Yiyan's heart was cold, but he still didn't give up: "But the courtiers haven't reached yet." I'm afraid that it will delay the prince. ”

Emperor Wei said disapprenously: "It's not a big deal, you can get married after you have a good time." The will of marriage will be sent to the Bai family tomorrow. ”

Bai Yiyan still wanted to make the final battle, but Concubine Li had already answered: "Miss Bai, the emperor's marriage is a great honor, and others can't ask for it, don't let down the emperor's hard work." I think Dingyuanhou will also be happy for you. Your Majesty, did you say that? Come, Little Liu, stand beside Miss Bai. Look, what a couple. Your Majesty, your vision is good. ”

The signs of anger that Emperor Wei had just appeared made Concubine Li persuade her to go over, feeling that she was a good match for the mandarin ducks, and nodded with satisfaction when she saw the two of them together.

Bai Yiyan knew that Concubine Li had something to say, so she took out Dingyuan Hou and threatened her. She secretly bit the tip of her tongue and forced her reason to return to the cage, she couldn't affect her family, she could only thank the emperor.
