Chapter 41: Lonely in the Palace (5)
With the entry of Emperor Helian to the table, Helian Luan'er's birthday banquet also officially began.
First of all, the gifts, all kinds of rare treasures, calligraphy and paintings offered by the nobles of Helian country are nothing, until the envoy of Wei presented a thick gift list, and said loudly: "The subordinates respectfully follow the holy will of our emperor and ask to hire Princess Phoenix as Mrs. Yuan!" He Lianqi, who was shocked, jumped up from his seat and his eyes were on fire.
The harem position of the Wei State, under the queen, set up three ladies, and the Wei Emperor had already married the daughter of the Feng family as the queen, but he chose the word "Yuan" as the title, which also gave Helian Luan'er enough face, and the Wei State was strong, and it was not humiliating.
Queen Zhu was very moved by this, after all, the Feng family was her mother's family, but Helian Long still frowned and didn't speak.
The envoy of the Yu State over there was not far behind, and presented the same thick gift list, and said loudly: "The subordinates respectfully follow the holy will of our emperor and ask to hire the Phoenix Princess as the concubine of our King Kang!" "King Kang is the younger brother of Emperor Yu, although his identity is much worse than that of Emperor Wei, but after all, he is the main family, a royal brother, and a royal sister, which is also a good match.
Helian Long remained silent.
At this time, the envoy of the Jin Kingdom stood up and bowed slowly, and it was also a thick gift list, and said: "The subordinates respectfully follow the holy will of our emperor and ask to hire the Phoenix Princess as the queen!" ”
The audience was in an uproar.
Luo'er propped her chin and looked at the three court-seeking envoys in the field with great interest.
Wei Guoqiu is his wife, even if he is titled "Yuan", he is still a concubine in the final analysis, which still hurts her self-esteem for a little princess like Helian Luan'er who grew up pampered.
Yu Guo is asking for Princess Kang, this is a proper room, but that King Kang is really talentless, incompetent, and unknown, and he is not worthy of the reputation of Princess Phoenix.
Although the Jin Kingdom threw out the position of queen, but the Empress Yuan of the Jin Emperor just died of illness last year, Helian Luan'er was the successor in the past, and the Empress Yuan had both children and daughters, the eldest son has been made the prince, Helian Luan'er is only fifteen years old, and she has to be the mother of the thirteen-year-old prince, which is really pitiful.
I don't know which Helian Luan'er likes more?
Luo'er turned her head to look at her, but Helian Luan'er seemed to be completely off the attention of the three messengers, and her eyes were full of joy, as if she was looking at-
Yuqin Gongzi?
Luo'er was surprised, and glanced at Yuqin Gongzi, who was like jade, indifferent, and not at all uncomfortable because of Helian Luan'er's fiery gaze, but he didn't pretend to turn a blind eye, he also nodded to Helian Luan'er from time to time, and responded to Luo'er's gaze by the way, his eyes were warm and he acted freely.
Yes, with such a peerless handsome gentleman here, how can the little princess look down on others? What's more, the background of the son of Yuqin is not bad, the Yu family is noble, and it is more than enough to match a princess.
Luo'er admired the peerless beauty of Yuqin Gongzi again, and from a certain point of view, Helian Luan'er is still a little unworthy of Yuqin Gongzi!
Although the envoys of the Three Kingdoms could choose this occasion to ask for marriage, Helian Long could not reply on such an occasion, and after a few words, he returned to the gift link, while the gifts offered by other guests who did not have the intention of marrying were more decent.
When it was Yuqin's turn, he was just given a book of piano scores, plus a few congratulatory messages, which were not very outstanding, except for his own low-key demeanor.
However, Helian Luan'er couldn't hide his excitement, and immediately summoned the palace people around him to whisper a few words, and the palace people ordered the word to Helian Long, Helian Long got the news, and glanced at Helian Luan'er with a slight frown, Helian Luan'er was full of anticipation, and nodded again and again.
Helian Long smiled slightly and nodded at her.
Helian Luan'er was so excited that her face was full of peach blossoms, and after whispering a few words to the maids beside her, she withdrew surrounded by the maids.
As the protagonist of the night banquet, Helian Luan'er's departure was seen by many people, but Helian Long didn't speak, and others could only pay attention silently and secretly guess.
After the gift session was over, after three rounds of wine, Helian Long shocked the audience when he spoke again: "The princess gave a score to Xie Yuqin's son, and I would like to give back a song!" ”
It's all in love, Luo'er looked at Yuqin Gongzi with a regretful face, and could see that he didn't have the heart to compete for the horse, but at the moment he was still calm, and he didn't realize the Helian family's thoughts: "It's Yu's luck!" ”
Helian Luan'er had already sat down behind the curtain, and when Yuqin Gongzi's voice settled, he burned incense with his hands in front of everyone's eyes, sat in front of the piano, and his hands fell.
One of the pianos, Luo'er also learned with Wang Jiehuan, although not proficient, but also good or bad, Helian Luan'er played this song called "Youlan", is a work that Gu Xianhuai has never encountered, deep opening song, bright ending, slow and melodious, beautiful and euphemistic.
In the past, when Wang Jiehuan played "Youlan", he laughed at himself for having a beginning and an end, and he couldn't have fun, but now Helian Luan'er is playing, and he only feels that the technique is first-class, but the elegant and deep places in the song are nowhere to be found, and Luo'er secretly shakes his head when he hears it.
According to Wang Jiehuan, the score of "Youlan" has almost been lost, and there are only collections in Yucheng Yu's "Yuhua Qin Score" and Qincheng Shi's "Seventeen Scores".
It's just that this flower doesn't seem to be suitable for her, if you change the song "Phoenix Introduction" or "Mountain Stream", it won't be so miserable, so Yuqin Gongzi just lowered his eyes and was silent, and his face was still warm as usual.
But the other person couldn't help it, as soon as Helian Luan'er's music was finished, one of the people at the table suddenly got up and said in a loud voice: "Since Shi Mou has been invited, he should present a song for the princess!" ”
Luo'er took a look, wasn't that the "master" of Ximen Jia? Looking at the wide robe and hair, full of madness, it is quite a bit of a celebrity.
Helian Long also gave him face, and nodded happily: "Mr. Qinbei, please!" ”
There was an uproar at the banquet.
It is said that the Qincheng Shi is a descendant of Fuxi, and the ability to make and compose music has been passed down from generation to generation, and it is unparalleled in the world in terms of performance, and each generation of the Shi will select three descendants to inherit the three skills of piano making, composing music and performance, and Mr. Qinbei is the descendant of the Shi's generation of piano art.
Mr. Qinbei was also not polite, resigned the piano in the palace, beckoned back, Ximen Jia respectfully opened the burden on his back, took out a dusty piano, and put it on the piano table brought by the palace people, this piano looks extremely inconspicuous, but people with a discerning eye can recognize it, it is the heirloom of the Shi family, called "Fengji".
Another palace person came up to serve Mr. Qinbei to clean his hands, and when the palace people brought the incense burner, they were sent away by Mr. Qinbei.
I saw that his wrist vibrated slightly, and then his eyes were lightly covered, and his fingertips were pressed, and a low and thick note sounded, and the hall was instantly silent.
Mr. Qinbei still played "Youlan", and gradually, Luo'er couldn't help but straighten up, like most people at the table, and her expression gradually became solemn.
The piano is the sound of elegance, containing Haoran righteousness, non-minded celebrities can not do it, ordinary women are difficult to control, although Helian Luan'er is a princess, she can only drum the sound of the glamour, and now Mr. Qinbei's piano sound is together, that is, Yuqin Gongzi also sits upright, his eyes show respect, and the smile and low-eyed posture of Helian Luaner when he played before is not the same.
At the end of the song, I still feel that the aftermath is lingering, silent, people who know the piano all close their eyes slightly, and reminisce carefully, even those who don't understand the piano are also moved, trembling, and dare not be rash.
"Mr. Kotohoku!" A delicate and sweet voice shattered the silence.
