Chapter 15: The sound of the piano is breathtaking
The applause fell, and everyone turned their eyes to Dongfang Jiaoyang's body, only to see her slowly raise her head, look at the emperor on the throne, and say, "Father, the son won't perform." β
The emperor's face was slightly stunned, "Why?" β
Dongfang Jiaoyang pursed his mouth and said, "Because I don't want to." β
Immediately, everyone present was stunned, Lan Ling'er couldn't help but laugh silently, Dongfang Jiaoyang is not a person who likes to show off, if it weren't for the eldest princess, she wouldn't be here.
The emperor obviously didn't expect Dongfang Jiaoyang's stubbornness, but he couldn't do anything about her, sighed slightly, and said, "Since you don't want to, forget it, Ling'er girl, it's your turn." β
Lan Ling'er patted Dongfang Jiaoyang clasping her hands, slowly got up, with a faint smile on her face, and walked to the center of the hall like flowing water.
Suddenly, everyone noticed the eldest lady of Lan Mansion, her finely carved skin, like the grace of the creator, and the slightest smile flashing in her smart eyes couldn't help but make people sink, and the aqua blue seemed to be radiant on her body.
Dongfang Yi looked at Lan Ling'er like this for a while, his eyes were complicated, after the last time they met, he also thought that Lan Ling'er was a lady, gentle and virtuous, beautiful and moving, not fighting or grabbing, only in his simple dream, like an elf who did not understand the world.
I thought she was a delicate and gorgeous peach blossom, so I sent her pink clothes this time, I originally thought that she was the most suitable for pink, but at this time, I saw her blue on her body, and she was so sacred and noble, as if it was his untouchable beauty.
Lan Ling'er was standing still, "Go back to the emperor, can you lend Ling'er a piano." Lan Ling'er's clear voice sounded.
There was a hint of inquiry in the emperor's eyes, and then he turned into a kind smile, "Come on, go and get a piano for Ling'er." β
But after a while, I saw the palace people send the piano to Lan Ling'er's eyes, the ordinary seven-stringed guqin, Lan Ling'er didn't care, really good music doesn't need too much decoration.
Adjusting the piano slightly, Lan Ling'er raised her lips slightly, her slender fingers moved slowly, without a hint of pause, and with the plucking of her fingers, the soothing and melodious sound of the piano sounded.
It is as if a ray of light shines into the depths of people's hearts, not shallow but not deep, just like the light of the early spring morning to bring hope and emotion. People seem to see a green meadow, the grass is soft and comfortable, the wildflowers are ordinary and moving, the sun is warm, and the breeze is soft.
It's just that, suddenly, the sound of the piano accelerates, compact and orderly, as if the original gentleness suddenly becomes fiery, from light to intense, passionate summer. The weeds began to grow wildly, beginning to turn from turquoise to dark green, but they were still soft, but there was a hint of warmth in this softness, the sun was warm, and the breeze was cool.
Gradually, the sound of the piano began to shrink slowly, a simple tone, with a shallow low singing, Lan Ling'er added her own voice to this chapter, as if all hope was lost, the grass turned yellow, and life began to disappear. Only an empty space remained, and Lan Ling'er's shallow voice seemed to be a sigh from outside the sky.
Then, the sound of the piano is slow, slower, chattering, circuitous, no sorrow, no life, no sighing, and at the same time no love and hate, the withered yellow grass is wrapped in a piece of snow white, all emotions are buried in this pure white, clean and thorough, but with a bone-chilling coolness.
When the piano stopped, Lan Ling'er slowly opened her smart eyes, and scanned the audience without the slightest emotion, seeing that everyone was looking at her tightly, she couldn't help but raise her lips slightly, and her eyes were full of smiles, indifferent and alienated, but noble and elegant.
"Ding!" With a bang, whose wine glass fell to the ground, breaking the silence for a moment, and then bursting into thunderous applause, Lan Ling'er saw the heat and excitement in everyone's eyes, slowly got up, bowed shallow to the emperor, and returned to his seat.
The whole process is full of laughter, strange and alienating, but exciting. Lan Ling'er's appearance belongs to the beauty of agility, and her facial features are not very perfect, but when put together, she has an indescribable aura. Especially at this time, she didn't have any grease powder carving, which made her look extraordinarily pure.
The applause rang all the time, and it took half a column of incense to stop.
The emperor's slightly stunned gaze fell on Lan Ling'er, and then turned into a little smile, "Ling'er girl is worthy of being Prime Minister Lan's good daughter, she is really talented. β
Lan Ling'er humbly bowed her head and said, "Ling'er is ugly." β
The dance of Dongfang Qin is beautiful, but it is only beautiful, no Lan Ling'er's piano sound can move people's hearts more, as if it is a life road of joy and sorrow, and everything is calm in the end, making it difficult to imagine that such a woman has such a detached thought in her heart.
This time, the result was no longer decided by the emperor, but by the young son below, and Lan Ling'er narrowly defeated Dongfang Qin by one vote.
When her father-in-law announced the results, dozens of eyes were projected on her, some were amazed, some were blessed, some were surprised, some were jealous, and some were hatefulΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·
It's just that Lan Ling'er always had a faint smile and was unmoved, as if the person they were looking at was not herself.
Taking the Begonia card from the eldest princess, Lan Ling'er thanked her softly, she knew that she could win today thanks to the emperor's whim, if the emperor didn't come, this would be the eldest princess's world, how could she let a young lady from the Prime Minister's Mansion steal the limelight from her daughter and niece.
Lan Ling'er played with the Begonia card in her hand, and the corner of her mouth was a shallow smile.
"Sister Lan, what are you laughing at?" Dongfang Jiaoyang on the side asked softly.
Lan Ling'er looked at her at this time, "It's nothing, just look at it, I don't think it's anything special." β
But seeing Dongfang Jiaoyang's pouting mouth, he was dissatisfied: "You are so strange, people want this thing desperately, but you think it's nothing special." β
Lan Ling'er chuckled when she heard this, her eyes looked away, but she saw that Dongfang Qin's resentful gaze was really good at herself, a woman's hatred was the most terrifying, but Lan Ling'er was not afraid, anyway, no matter what, the final result was that the emperor wanted to get rid of Lan Fu, and she would definitely not let him get his wish.
Although the highlight of the cherry blossom viewing festival is gone, there are other programs where the ladies of each family can perform. This is also an opportunity for performance, a hundred flowers bloom, it must not only be begonias dominant, but also other flowers or foils or competition so as not to appear monotonous.
What's more, today the emperor appeared in person, and everyone even squeezed their heads to show it, maybe someone took a fancy to it, and it happened that the emperor was happy for a while, and it was a good marriage.
"Your Majesty, the courtiers are willing to perform a dance, "Peach Blossom Yin". The crisp voice sounded, and Lan Ling'er couldn't help but chuckle when she looked at Lan Xue Wu, who was far away from her.
Peach Blossom Yin matched her clothes just right, but Lan Ling'er looked at Dongfang Yi on the side, but saw that there was shallow anger in his originally calm and waveless eyes. Presumably, he just found out that Lan Xuewu was wearing clothes that he had sent to the Blue Mansion.
It's just that she originally thought that Dongfang Yi liked Lan Xuewu, but now that she thinks about it, this person only likes himself.
Lan Ling'er raised her eyebrows slightly, and whispered to the Dongfang Sun on the side: "Wait a while, there will be a good show." β
In an instant, Dongfang Jiaoyang's eyes were shining, and Lan Ling'er was completely speechless for her fear of the world's chaos. But there's nothing wrong with that, at least she likes girls like that.
Lan Ling'er looked up, just in time to see Mu Xinghan's smiling eyes on the other side, and suddenly looked like a child who had done something bad and was caught, embarrassed for a moment, and then turned her gaze to the side, but it caused Mu Xinghan to chuckle.
But seeing that on the throne, the old emperor raised his eyebrows slightly, and said with a kind smile: "It seems that Prime Minister Lan is really blessed, a pair of daughters are all talented!" I'm right, if the performance is good, I will definitely arrange a good family affair for you. β
When the emperor's words fell, there was a sudden gasping sound, and Lan Xuewu's body trembled slightly, and her eyes secretly glanced at Dongfang Yi, with a delicate smile on her face.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Lan Xue Wu stood up at this time, and the pink dress was completely exposed in front of people's eyes.
When the young men appeared, the ladies were already seated, so many people could really see her whole body clearly at this time, and they were stunned for a while.
Lan Xuewu peeked at Dongfang Yi, her eyes were tactful, but she saw that Dongfang Yi was just stunned for a moment, so she picked up the wine glass in front of her and poured it into her mouth.
The following interaction, the old emperor sitting on the top seat naturally saw it clearly, but he didn't see any emotions, Lan Ling'er couldn't help but sigh secretly, there are really few emperors in the world who are not deep.
Lan Xuewu obviously has also put in a lot of effort, she knows that Dongfang Yi loves peach blossoms, so she practiced "Peach Blossom Yin" diligently, and now with this peach blossom skirt, it is even more delicate and moving, with the ups and downs of the music, petite people dance lightly in the field.
It's like a peach blossom with dew in the early morning trembling in the wind, indescribably coquettish.
It's just that many women in the same company showed resentment in their eyes, they all knew that Lan Xuewu's clothes were given by Dongfang Yi, and they danced such a dance at this time, coupled with the emperor's golden words, they had to have a grudge against this radiant Lan Xuewu.
Lan Ling'er quietly looked at everything in front of her, Lan Xuewu was showing off her talent and beauty like this, she didn't know how to be restrained and humble, even if she could enter the Second Prince's Mansion in the end, there would definitely be no good results.
Perhaps, without her hands, this woman will destroy herself.
At the end of the dance, Lan Xuewu's face was pink, and she bowed to the emperor Yingying, panting slightly, looking even more shy and charming at this time.
The emperor chuckled and looked at Lan Xue Wu, "Xue Wu is really talented, I am a little envious of Prime Minister Lan Cheng, he has such an outstanding daughter." β
Lan Ling'er's heart was shocked, and she didn't understand why the emperor still mentioned herself.
