Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Night Banquet (Part II)

At this moment, a clear whistle suddenly came from the air, like the sound of cracking silk, breaking through the air.

Everyone was vigilant and looked open, but there was no one on the field.

The sound was not broken, but it turned low, long and tactful, and it came from nowhere, but everyone could hear it clearly, it was the sound of a flute.

At first, it was intermittent, such as falling in the fog, and it was not really heard, and then the clouds opened and the fog dispersed, and gradually became clearer, and the flute gradually rose, as if the birds were singing beside it, but they felt full of vitality, and felt that the clear stream splashed and the bamboo moved the wind. Later, the music gradually became full but gradually lowered, like the autumn wind, which made people's bodies stunned, but they felt that the yellow leaves were flying, and everything was silent.

The music is sometimes high, like thunder and rain; Sometimes surging, like the sound of waves and water; Sometimes sluggish, like a raindrop eaves; Sometimes it is clear, like a rainbow and rain...... It is the scenery of the four seasons in the mountains.

For a while, it becomes majestic and atmospheric, as if there is a high-rise palace in front of you, rising from the ground, magnificent, and at one time it is like a water pavilion tower, and the smoke and rain are glorious.

At the end of the note, the music gradually flattened, and everything gradually stopped.

Everyone listened to the song, but felt that they were suddenly between heaven and earth, feeling the changes of the four times, and being immersive, as if they really experienced the scene described in the song, which was really hearty.

In the middle of summer, it was very hot and dry, but as soon as this song came out, it made people feel like falling into the mountains and forests for a while, like bathing in spring water, the whole body was refreshed, and a heart was rarely quiet.

The tail note was broken for a long time, and the field was still silent, and the so-called sound of winding beams was endless.

During the banquet, I don't know who praised "Good!" Only then did everyone come back to their senses and applaud one after another.

It was also at this time that people saw a slender figure standing faintly on the other side of the lake, in the octagonal pavilion, under the curtain.

The breeze was curling, blowing the curtain slightly, everyone was curious for a while, poked their heads and looked in, but they were vague, and they could not see the face of the person holding the flute, only felt that the posture was graceful and the temperament was extraordinary.

Chengye was also drunk under the sound of the flute, he looked at the blurred figure in the curtain, and said to Song Lian: "I just said that Yin Xia is incompetent, isn't this it." ”

The old man who had been sleeping on the seat seemed to be attracted by the sound of the flute and woke up, and when the music was over, his eyes lit up, and he asked in an old voice, "Who is the flute, and why doesn't he show up?" ”

Su Qingluo got up and came out of the ranks, and replied: "Back to my father, the flute player is the orphan girl who met the four emperors' uncle during his visit to Jiangzhou a few days ago. ”

Everyone looked at King Ming as they were.

Ming Wang was embarrassed, lowered his head and coughed violently. He didn't know what medicine was sold in Su Qingluo's gourd, why didn't he know when he had accepted a righteous daughter?

But with the ministers by his side, he still has to take care of his face. So when Su Yan asked him, "Brother Huang, this matter is serious, the woman who can play such a heavenly sound is really your righteous daughter?" He had to get up and go back, "Let everyone laugh, it's my unsuccessful daughter." ”

Su Qingluo continued: "The Fourth Emperor Uncle is really discerning, and he can receive such a smart woman. The ministers also looked at King Ming in agreement.

Emperor Yin Su Yan spoke again: "Since she is the emperor's brother and daughter, how can she have no identity, ask her to come forward to see Gu, Gu wants to ask her a few words." ”

Su Qingluo said again: "This woman's name is Shen Yu, although she is a little smart, but after all, she has never seen the world, and she never dares to see the true face of the Son of Heaven." ”

Su Yan said: "Today's female music, very lonely, should have a reward, since she is already the daughter of the prince, naturally should be the respect of the county lord, today she is named the county lord, give 100 acres of good land, 100 horses of brocade, 1,000 taels of gold. In this way, it can be regarded as having an identity, so let her come out to see Lonely. ”

Su Qingluo saluted with his hands, "The son thanked his father for Shen Yu's sister." ”

King Ming also chimed in: "Thank Your Majesty for the reward." ”

Su Qingluo turned to look at the pavilion, "Good sister, since my father has given the title of county lord, why don't you come out and thank you soon?" ”

The maid outside the pavilion lifted the curtain, and the woman slowly walked out. Dressed in a moon-white palace dress, tied with a cyan ribbon, simple and generous, she has a slender waist and graceful steps... The black hair is tied at the back of the head, only a jade hairpin is inserted, the forehead is jade, the eyes are bright and the lips are thin, the temperament is natural, the eyebrows are clear and dusty, although it is elegant, it is already amazing.

In addition to the amazing crowd, there were still six people in the banquet who were shocked, one was Su Rui, the king of Ming, the second was Shen Ji, the third was Russell and Liu Ji, the entourage next to him, and Cheng Ye and Song Lian, who accompanied him.

They never imagined that the person who played music behind the curtain, the righteous daughter of King Ming in Su Qingluo's mouth, turned out to be Yunhuang.

She held a pale yellow oval jade flute in her hand, her expression was calm and calm, she raised her eyes, her eyes were like water, there seemed to be a bright moon in it, and she was not alarmed, and she was coming to the banquet step by step.

Russell frowned and muttered in a low voice, "How could it be her, what does Your Highness want to do?" No one answered him for a long time, he raised his eyes, and saw that Liu Huanzhi, who was sitting on the side, had already looked straight. Russell coughed dryly twice, but he still didn't respond, so Russell had to frown and sigh and drink to himself.

I saw Yun Huang come forward, stand under the stage, salute with his hands in circles, put his left hand on his right hand, and then knelt down, put his hands on the ground, and almost put his head on the ground, and performed a national salute in a proper manner.

She said in a light and somewhat immature voice: "Courtier Shen Yu thank Your Majesty for the reward, long live my emperor." ”

Su Yan raised his hand, "Flatten." ”

Yun Huang Xie got up and stood under the stage with his hands down. Su Yan squinted his eyes at that delicate face and exclaimed, "What a beautiful jade!" The expression was exactly the same as Su Qingluo's back then, he was really father and son. He asked again: "What's the name of this song?" ”

Yun Huang replied: "If you describe the scenery of mountains and rivers, you will be called mountains and rivers!" ”

Su Yan praised: "Wonderful! A song and describe the scenery of the four seasons of the mountain, making people feel like a mountain stream, such as falling into the abyss, it is really wonderful! ”

Yun Huang held the flute with both hands, and said humbly: "It is not the work of the courtiers, only because the flute is a rare thing in the world, and the music is softened by jade, and the sound is sparse by tassels, so it has such an effect." ”

The courtiers who are slightly older and have some eyesight on the field must know that when the prince was born in the past, the Pinghou paid tribute, and the Caifeng Jade Screen Flute that has been treasured in the East Palace is the only one in the world, and because it is a relic of the previous dynasty, it can be described as priceless. The prince has always cherished and never shown it easily, but now he is willing to give it to her.

Su Yan naturally knows the flute, since the prince can give this thing to her, it means that this woman also has some ability and can be appreciated by the prince.

When Su Yan smiled, the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes became more and more obvious, and he said: "No matter how good the flute is, it is just an artifact, if the person holding the flute is not capable, how can it play such a natural sound." Yin has this talented woman, fortunately! ”

The ministers chimed in, "Congratulations to Your Majesty on your talent!" ”

Su Yan was very happy, "Since you are the lord of the county, you should sit on the side of the prince, come and give you a seat." Then some palace people added a table next to King Ming, set up fruit delicacies, and added wine cups.

Su Yan turned to King Ming and said, "The emperor's brother can get this daughter, he really has a discerning eye!"

King Ming echoed and said with a dry smile: "Your Majesty has won the award, and the little girl can be appreciated by Your Majesty, it is her own ability." Yun Huang saluted and thanked him, then retreated to the desk and sat down. King Ming looked at the person beside him, his face was cloudy for a while, but Yun Huang turned a blind eye.

The singing and dancing are over, and the meals on the table are also exhausted, seeing that the moon is in the sky, Su Qingluo got up and said a few words, and the banquet dispersed. The hundreds of officials dispersed in twos and threes, still discussing the affairs of Fang Cai, this banquet was really ups and downs.
