Three days later, the banquet was held as scheduled, and in addition to the harem concubines, there were also Renyu, Renzhen, and Rencao.

Among the three brothers, Bao Yuan and the fourth brother Rencao are the most close, so I have more opportunities to see Rencao.

At this moment, Ren Cao, who was sitting at the head of Bao Yuan, was listening intently to Liu Huilan Fuqin singing, and after the song was finished, Ren Cao smiled at Bao Yuan: "Brother Huang, the lyrics and songs sung by Liu Anchen are beautiful and refined, it doesn't seem to be made by musicians in the palace, but it is a new work of the imperial brother?" ”

When Bao Yuan heard this, he smiled and said, "I didn't write it, and this song is the first time I've heard it today." Saying that, he said to Liu Huilan: "Huilan, where did you learn this song?" Sing well, reward! ”

"Thank you, Emperor" Liu Huilan got up happily and thanked her, and said in a slow voice: "This song is a gift from Sister Hua Rui, saying that it can make the emperor smile." ”

"Oh, is it made by Rui'er?" Bao Yuan looked at me and smiled, "Since you have spent all this effort, why don't you play and sing for me yourself?" ”

"Your Majesty, Sister Huilan has a beautiful voice, and this song is more flavorful when sung by her, so ......" I said with a smile, and now I have favored the sixth palace, if I pinch the tip everywhere, it will definitely attract more jealousy.

Looking back, Li Yanniang looked at each other coldly, I just couldn't pick up the pear blossom in front of me and take a sip, but I heard Li Yanniang say coquettishly: "Your Majesty, Sister Huilan's singing voice has always been good, and now it is even more extraordinary to be trained by Mrs. Hua Rui, and Yanniang will dance a song." With that, she got up and walked outside the pavilion, and suddenly turned back to Bao Yuan and smiled: "Your Majesty, can you please accompany Yanniang to play the flute?" ”

I didn't like it when I heard it, but I couldn't do it in front of so many people, so I had to pretend to talk to Jingyi around me.

Bao Yuan pondered for a moment, shook my wrist under the table and got up, and crossed his lips.

The flute sounded, Li Yanniang outside the pavilion danced gracefully, her eyes were wrapped around Baoyuan like silk, I watched silently, I couldn't talk about joy and sorrow in my heart, but the indescribable discomfort was lingering.

Li Yanniang danced from outside the pavilion to the pavilion, like a vine around Bao Yuan, and when Bao Yuan finished playing the last note, she actually lay down in his arms...... Bao Yuan straightened Li Yanniang with a slight stiffness, and I could feel two jealous eyes coming at me fiercely.

"Mrs. Blossom, I have heard for a long time that your piano skills are outstanding, but today I don't know if my brother is fortunate enough to hear it?" Renzan's sudden request just solved my embarrassing situation, and I smiled and said: "The emperor's brother sincerely invites, how dare Rui'er refuse, recently learned a pipa song, and played it with the emperor and the emperor's brothers." ”

A song leaves the soul, and the mood is like water.

Fingertips touch the strings, rub and pick slowly, my lips are always smiling, "Leaving the Soul" is telling: The situation of life is wonderful, just like my soul through time and space to come here, maybe just because the soulmate is hard to find, true love is hard to find.

When I picked out the last note and gently lowered my hand between the lingering notes, I looked up to meet Bao Yuan's affectionate gaze.

"Although the ancient tune is self-loving, many people today don't play it. Cast this song to you, it is difficult to know the noble voice. Bao Yuanyu recited the poem "Youqin" in Liu Changqing's "Miscellaneous Eight Songs of Li Shilang of the Shangli Department", and this poem corresponds to the current "Leaving the Soul" song.

Baoyuan, you always understand me!

Ren Cao clapped his hands and stood up, and sighed: "Brother Huang, Mrs. Hua Rui, the world is often a fairy couple, and they have the same heart, and when I see you two today, I am really envious." "Raise your glass and insist on saluting the two of us.

After the two of us returned to our seats, Renyu asked, "May I ask Mrs. Hua Rui, this "Soul Departure" is also made by Madame?" ”

"This song is recorded in the score that I accidentally obtained."

"Oh, I don't know if my brother has a chance to see this score?" Renyu has always been interested in sheet music.

"Absolutely." I instructed Ming to fetch the green silk with the music score of "Leaving the Soul" and handed it over to Renyu, and Renyu sighed: "This song should only be in the sky, and the music score book on the green silk is even more ingenious, looking at the handwriting of this score should be a romantic gentleman, I don't know where the lady got this treasure?" ”

"Don't hide it from the prince, I picked up this score under the ginkgo tree in Yichun Courtyard, I really don't know who the owner of this score is."

"Oh, that's a strange thing." Renyu raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Xu is that even the gods in the sky love the lady's appearance, so he gave the fairy song, and I waited for today's TOEFL to be full." ”

Seeing Renyu joking, I was noncommittal and had to accompany the smiling face, and looked at Bao Yuan with some uneasiness, his face was calm and seemed to be completely unimpressed.

At that time, how could I have known that Renyu's joke that day would cause a storm in the future.

After that day, I thought that Bao Yuan would ask about the score, but after that, he didn't even mention a word, even if I played in the palace, he just smiled and listened quietly, and finally praised the sentence "Rui'er's piano skills are more refined." ”

At this time, I felt as if I had done something bad, and I wanted to tell him about the adventure that I didn't know if it was a dream or reality, but the words were suppressed by a rational voice on my lips, and I didn't know if he was a human or a ghost.

Afterwards, Ming'er went to Yichun Courtyard to inquire, and there didn't seem to be such a musician, this matter was originally bizarre, how could I make Baoyuan believe that everything was just an "adventure".

Here I am struggling with the ulterior adventure, and there seems to be something going on in the palace over there, when I go to and from the Furong Song Society for several days, I see the people in the small opera palace talking to each other in a nobody's place.

Later, Ming'er and Zhiqiu seemed to have heard something, and they became more and more cautious in front of me, and the palace people of Changchun Hall also made an appointment and deliberately avoided something.

"Ming'er, has something happened in the palace recently?" I rarely speak to her in such a serious way.

"Sister, no, nothing?" Ming'er glanced at me and lowered her head unnaturally.

"Really? You have something to hide from me, say. If you were still my sister. "The years of entanglement in my heart made me suddenly a little angry at their cautious attitude.

"It's really nothing, sister, don't listen to other people's nonsense." Ming'er tried her best to pretend to be relaxed, and a smile appeared on her face.

"Okay, now that you're older, and you don't listen to my sister's words, then what do I do if I leave you around, and the palace will ask the emperor for a decree to let you go out of the palace in a while." Seeing that she didn't want to tell the truth, I couldn't, so I had to pretend to be cruel.

"Sister......" Ming'er was shocked when she heard this, and knelt in front of me with a "plop", "Sister, don't be angry, I said, don't want Ming'er, don't drive me away."

Looking at her frightened little face, I was distressed, but I had to harden my heart and said with a cold face: "Then tell me the truth, don't lie to me, if you have a word of truth, I will go back to the emperor." ”

"Recently, it has been rumored in the palace that the old ginkgo tree in the Yichun courtyard has become a fine ...... The song "Leaving the Soul" played by my sister is a demon song, and it is ...... They also said, and said that sister, you, are also a hibiscus flower demon. Ming'er told me the rumors she had heard from all over the place.

"I'm the Hibiscus Flower Demon?" Suddenly, I felt the urge to laugh, the corners of my lips bent, and I leaned over and pulled Ming'er, who was kneeling on the ground, up.

Ming'er looked at me with a sad little face and puzzled, and said for a while: "Sister, aren't you angry? ”

"Why should I be angry?" I asked amusefully.

"But they all say you're a goblin." Ming'er sniffed.

"Am I a goblin?"

"Of course not," Ming'er's little face immediately showed an expression of righteous indignation.

"That's not the end, hehehe, what else should I do!" I wiped her little face with a silk handkerchief and said, "You've been avoiding me for this for the past few days?" ”

"Well, I'm afraid that my sister will ask me, and I don't know how to answer, and I'm even more afraid that my sister will be angry and sad when she finds out." Ming'er said gloomily.

"What a stupid girl, this kind of rumor is not uncommon at all, you forgot that when I was in Furong Le Fang, some people said that I was a white fox spirit." I don't know which boring woman came up with this kind of substandard rumor.

"Well, yes, they must be jealous of their sister's appearance and versatility, and besides, the emperor treats his sister so well...... Ming'er sniffed and burst into laughter.

"Silly girl......" I shook my head and sighed, telling her to tell the people of the Changchun Hall not to pay attention to the rumors outside.

I thought that these rumors would be fine after a while, but I didn't want them to get worse.

Even the rumors about the old ginkgo tree becoming a monster were said to be amazing, as if the Hibiscus Song Society had become a goblin haunt.

Gradually, I began to have some curiosity and speculation in my heart. I used to never believe in ghosts and gods, but the fact that I had crossed the soul was very reasonable, and I saw Zhang Taihua's soul appear outside the Nine Immortals Temple. Thinking about what my grandmother said when she was alive, there are clouds in Buddhist scriptures, and there are six red dusts in this world, so will it really be the essence of the ginkgo tree?

I had doubts in my heart, so I didn't want to go to the song club to practice.

I didn't want to be ordered to report to Qingzhi the next afternoon, saying that there was a situation in the song club, and Si Le Zhao Lingyue didn't know how to deal with it, so he asked me to go and make a decision.

When I came to Yichun Courtyard with Ming'er, I saw Zhao Lingyue, the music of the palace, waiting outside the courtyard with the people of the Furong Song Society.

Along the way, Zhao Sile reported the general situation to me, it seems that Rui'er, a small drama of the song club, offended Li Yanniang for something, and was punished by Li Yanniang, and then suddenly fainted, and after waking up, he lost his mind and couldn't stop talking nonsense, which caused panic in Yichun Courtyard.

When I entered the wing, Rui'er was being taken care of by the people in the room and drinking medicine, and she did not seem to be very conscious, as if she was extremely frightened and her mind was broken.

After sitting down, I asked Zhao Lingyue: "How did Li Xiuyuan get to Yichun Courtyard, who was this child with at that time?" ”

"Back to Niangniang's words, at that time, the pianist Qingzhi and Rui'er were together, and I heard Qingzhi say that she and Rui'er went to the song club to practice new songs as usual in the morning, but they didn't want Li Xiuyuan to come suddenly, and they also brought the new poems written by Niangniang the day before yesterday, and asked the two of them for the emperor's new score." Zhao Lingyue was about twenty-four or five years old, with a delicate face, and her face was frightened at the moment, and her tone was very uneasy.
