Chapter 11: Halloween (2)
At night in the capital, the stars hang high. The whole palace was solemn and low. In it, although it was still the same scenery as a child, Jing Chen knew that some things were different. It's like Shangguan Jun, or even the entire Shangguan family. Because even if they don't want to, they can't escape the responsibility that comes with wearing the cloak of glory. Because they are both prosperous and all are lost. It is precisely because of her that their fates are drawn into the whirlpool of politics.
"What are you thinking?" When Yin Jingyu came out of the queen's palace, he saw Jingchen looking at the night sky in a daze. He took off his cloak and draped it over Jing Chen's shoulders. Softly asked, "Is it okay to be there?" Jing Chen gathered his cloak and nodded.
"Blaming him for not coming?"
Jing Chen shook his head and listened to him continue: "Actually, from another level, he is also considerate of you, after all, to him, the father, the queen mother, and even I are your family, and he used to have that relationship with us. ”
"It's like a family dinner as an ordinary person says, he is creating conditions for you to reunite with your family, and it is natural for him to avoid it."
"Otherwise, why did he take Shangguan Ying away, with his personality, he would definitely not explain this to you, so don't think too much."
"Tomorrow, Princess Dong will enter the palace, and you will be entertained after losing your mother, how can you say that the Dong family is also different from the past."
"I know the imperial brother, then I'll go back."
"Go ahead," Yin Jingyu watched her leave. Jing Chen turned to leave, and seemed to remember something and paused: "Is there something hidden from me?" ”
She looked at her brother stubbornly, with an expression that if you don't say it, I won't leave. Jing Yu surrendered and said with a smile: "A good thing, a good thing for the Shangguan family." ”
He can only say this, because this seems to be an excellent thing for the Shangguan family, but he really doesn't know if it is a good thing for the person concerned.
On the second day, early in the morning, Jingchen accompanied Empress Yin to meet with Princess Bodu. This was once a close friend of her mother's daughter. The relationship between the two has also been estranged with the passage of time, the distance of space, and the struggle for political power. They will never be able to go back to those days of wanton noise. Just like her and Dong Yulin and Lu Ming. It will also be difficult for them to return to their innocent childhood.
While the three of them were chatting, General Guan's wife came to greet Shangguan Ying. Empress Yin hurriedly invited the two in. After the two of them greeted Empress Yin, Jing Chen pulled Shangguan Ying to sit next to her. Seeing Jing Chen like this, Empress Yin smiled and said to Mrs. Guan: "Ying'er asked her brother to pick her up yesterday, and our Chen'er has been worried about it all the time. ”
Mrs. Guan hurriedly said: "Thank you princess for your concern, this child has been spoiled by her grandmother at home, and there are no rules, please bear with me more." “
Jing Chen smiled and said, "Auntie, it's nothing, Ying'er can obey the rules in this palace, right, Ying'er?" ”
Shangguan Ying was embarrassed by Jing Chen's words. whispered: "My brother asked me to see my aunt's illness, thanks to my wonderful rejuvenation, my aunt's complexion is so good today." ”
Mrs. Guan smiled and shook her head. Yin Hou asked again: "How is your body?" ”
Mrs. Guan: "It's okay, but I haven't rested well on the road, the children are not at ease, and you are worried." ”
Princess Dong saw Jing Chen and Shangguan Ying's hands holding together, and said to Empress Yin with a smile: "It's rare that the children of the Shangguan family are all so standard, and they have a good temperament" Empress Yin also nodded.
Mrs. Guan hurriedly said: "The princess is really overrated, Ying'er, she is the eldest, and she is also naughty at home." ”
Princess Dong smiled and said, "I heard that the fourth lady still understands medical skills?" ”
Mrs. Guan: "She's just fooling around, in the words of our aunt's wife, it's a blind cat meeting a dead mouse." The crowd burst into laughter.
"Mrs. Guan is also too modest," Princess Dong said.
On the day of Halloween, the sky is clear. At the turn of spring and summer, the wind and sunshine in Shangjing are beautiful. It was night, and the whole palace was bustling with activity, and it was packed. This time, the salt and iron theory came to an end before the Wanshou Festival, and Emperor Yin's mood was also exceptionally good. and saw his daughter sitting under the seat. Think of the scene where she played the piano for the first time as a child. Then he said to Jing Chen: "Chen'er, do you remember the first time you played the piano in front of your father when you were a child?" ”
Jing Chen thought for a while and said: "I remember, but I wasn't alone at that time, there were also Lu Ming, Dong Yulin, the three of us played together, at first it was either this fast, or the one couldn't keep up with the rhythm, so it wasn't chaotic, and in the end, it was only completed by the three of us under the guidance of my father." ”
Lu Ming glanced at Dong Yulin, and the two nodded together, as if they had returned to that time. Emperor Yin smiled and looked at the three of them, then nodded.
Jing Chen continued: "Father, if you want to listen to the piano, why don't you play a song for you with Chen'er and Miss Shangguan Si?" ”
Emperor Yin: "Oh, the girl of the Shangguan family is also good at the piano?" ”
Shangguan Ying hurriedly got up and replied, "The folk girl doesn't dare, she just learned the zheng." ”
Emperor Yin raised his cheeks and said slowly: "It's not bad that the piano and the zither are in harmony, so let's start with Chen'er." ”
Jing Chen looked at Shangguan Ying. The two teamed up to play a song "Song of Regret". "It is difficult to make thread than needles, and the stamen powder is deep when it is dyed yellow. Yu Bai Lanfang didn't care about each other, and Qinglou smiled lightly. ”...... The two of them played gracefully and sadly, and when they were inseparable, they suddenly heard the sound of horns. The addition of the sound of the horn makes the sound of the piano more poignant and immersive. "The water flows like a horse, and the hatred is purple and sad and red all over the plains......" makes people cry.
The piano fell, and it took a long time for applause to sound. Jing Chen glanced at Dong Yulin and saw that he had put away his horns and hid them in his sleeves. Emperor Yin was also amazed. Praise Jing Chen, Shangguan Ying, and Dong Yulin loudly. However, Empress Yin reminded him in a low voice, and Emperor Yin seemed to remember something, and said with a smile: "The Shangguan family is really talented. ”
Then he glanced at Shangguan Xiongji again, and then said: "It's rare to listen to such a beautiful piano sound, it's good to make you the lord of Liyin, Shangguan girl?" Shangguan Ying hurriedly knelt down and whispered, "The people don't dare to ......."
Emperor Yin was not angry, he looked at Dong Yulin again and said: "Yulin's horn is really seamless, and the talented and beautiful woman is also a perfect match." “
After a pause: "I, I will give you the Lord of Liyin County today, so that I can accomplish this story through the ages, okay?" ”
Dong Yulin glanced at Shangguan Ying, leaned over and knelt down: "Emperor Xie." ”
As soon as Yin Jingchen wanted to get up, he was pressed on the seat by Shangguan Jun, got up and knelt; "Emperor Xie". Behind him was: "Congratulations to the prince, congratulations to the county lord for the tsunami of the mountain......"
Shangguan Ying didn't know who got up with her, and she hadn't woken up from the shock of suddenly becoming the county lord of Liyin. And, what surprised her even more was, how could she be given marriage? And the object is still Dong Yulin. Dong Yulin's wife is Yin Jingning, which is well known.
But what is this between them? Moreover, Dong Yulin did not resist this marriage. She didn't understand, she just came to see the palace with her father, brother, and sister-in-law, and she had a long insight, why was she suddenly married? She wants to ask the third brother, ask the father, ask her sister-in-law. Jing Chen accompanied her all the way. At first she seemed shocked, but soon returned to normal.
Shangguan Ying doesn't remember anything behind her at all, but she vaguely remembers that there are many people she doesn't know, but they all come to her to say hello. Say congratulations. She smiled and said thank you one by one. She really wanted to laugh from the bottom of her heart. As soon as she thought about it, she really did it. Who is this man? She suddenly remembered who she was smiling at again. The vague shadow showed up to the last grim face, oh, it turned out to be him, Dong Yulin......
