Chapter Twenty-Eight: Under the Spring Feast

"The emperor is really anxious, he wants to be rewarded, is it only this one?" Empress Dowager Chen covered her mouth and smiled, and said to her subordinates, "The mourning family thinks that this show is a bit ingenious, it is rare that although there are many people, they are not flustered, and they can be so neat in only three days, which shows that they have a good heart." [Full text reading. ใ€‘โ€

Lijingxuan, all the beautiful women, thank the Queen Mother for her appreciation.

"This is a whole show girl who lives in Lijingxuan?" Empress Dowager Li also paid attention when she listened to Cui Shanggong's report, and said in a rare voice, "None of anyone's good ideas have been left behind." โ€

The show girl turned around to see Wang Ronghe who was standing at the end of the work, Wang Ronghe secretly thought that he had never been angry with her, and at this time he said that he was not beautiful if he was not himself, so he could only bow his head and move forward, and Fu replied, "It's a little girl's idea that can't be calculated at all." โ€

"Harem girls should be united and harmonious, you have done a good job." Empress Dowager Li said.

"Empress Dowager Xie's praise." Wang Ronghe bowed his head and said.

"I've long been curious about what you're carrying, but I don't know why?" Zhu Yijun asked, she was still worried that Wang Ronghe would not play, but she saw that she was carrying a strange-looking thing in her hand, sitting on the side of the field, with a solemn and serious face, and raised her hand to tap it from time to time, as if she was hitting it so important, although the sound was not necessarily loud and beautiful.

The first Virgin Mary and the Queen Mother praised her, obviously Zhu Yijun didn't need to worry, he was curious about how Wang Ronghe's head contained so many strange ideas.

"Back to Your Majesty, this thing is called a triangular bell." Wang Ronghe said.

"I've never seen anything like this, what's the use of it?" Zhu Yijun asked, "To be more detailed, do I have to ask sentence by sentence?" โ€

"Your Majesty." Empress Dowager Li reminded softly that Zhu Yijun's words were too harsh to the show girl who inquired for the first time, and it was a loss of gentlemanly bearing.

Wang Ronghe lowered his head and rolled his eyes, and could only say slowly. "The triangular bell takes the silver tube and bends it into a triangular equilateral, and then hits it with another silver pipe, which can produce a silver bell-like trill, which glows with a different brilliance from the movement."

"Bring it up and I'll see." Zhu Yijun said.

Feng Shang hurriedly walked down and took the triangular bell in Wang Ronghe's hand, under the negotiation of his godfather, His Majesty still let him come out to serve, at this time, the first thing is to beg for goodness. Feng Shang taught the triangular bell to his godgrandfather Feng Bao, and Feng Bao presented it to His Majesty again.

Feng Bao is a powerful eunuch, his face is not bearded but has his own majesty, even in the face of His Majesty, he only has respect and no fear, and now he handed the triangular bell to His Majesty, and he can still laugh and say, "The slave has never seen such a strange thing?" โ€

Zhu Yijun raised the silver pipe and tapped it, and couldn't help but smile at Wang Ronghe and said, "This thing is not as loud as the serious silver bell, I see that you are deliberately fooling with this, right?" โ€

This remark was heart-wrenching, Wang Ronghe had to kneel down and reply, "The little girl has been lazy and ignorant at home since she was a child, and her talent is lacking, and she really has no talent to pay tribute to the emperor." His Majesty felt that this thing was perfunctory, but it was the best that the little girl could think of. didn't think about it, but she still laughed at the royal front, the little girl really had no shame to serve His Majesty. โ€

"It's not that serious." Empress Dowager Li said, "You have a good idea to show everyone, but you are the only one who does not show the water." โ€

"The little girl that the Queen Mother said is ashamed." Wang Ronghe said tightly on the ground.

"Wang Zhixi is you mรจi mรจi, she has excellent skills, but you say you don't know anything? Did your mother teach one over the other, and the other at all? Empress Dowager Chen asked.

Wang Zhixi also knelt down when she heard this, and said with tears in her eyes, "My mother will treat everyone equally in her heart all her life, so I really have a thick sister who despises me, and I really can't afford such an accusation." โ€

"Maybe she's really not interested in music and dancing. Looking at her stiff body, she can't learn, she doesn't have this talent. Zhu Yijun wanted to relieve Wang Ronghe, he originally wanted to say that Wang Ronghe had no talent for music and dance, but he was quite accomplished in calligraphy, how could this person be able to do anything.

"The eldest daughter of the Wang family, then are you your mother who doesn't teach, or are you really lazy and don't learn?" Empress Dowager Chen asked.

Wang Ronghe gritted his teeth, "It's a little girl who is stupid and talented, and she can't learn it anymore." โ€

"Sister." Wang Zhixi looked at her, "Although my sister feels that it is a little difficult for me to learn talents, my sister can't deceive Your Majesty and the two Queen Mothers." โ€

"There are two musicians hired at home, one teaches me to play the piano, and the other teaches my sister, who has been in elementary school since elementary school and does not stop until I enter the palace." Wang Zhixi said, "It's just that my sister's favorite musical instrument is different from others, I only heard my mother say that I was worried that my sister's musical instrument would be laughed at, but my sister insisted on learning, and my mother could only agree." โ€

"The eldest daughter of the Wang family, the mourning family will ask you again, do you know how to play a musical instrument?" Empress Dowager Chen asked.

"The little girl is guilty." Wang Ronghe sighed in his heart, I don't want to be in the limelight, what are you doing with me, you and I are out of the same door, what good is it for me to bully you, it is just an elm head, but it is useless to say more at this time. Wang Ronghe looked up pitifully and said to the Empress Dowager Chen, "The little girl really doesn't know anything about the musical instruments that boudoir women often learn, such as the qin, the flute, the flute, and the pipa. It's a pity that the little girl's qualifications are dull, and after studying for many years, now it is better than sawing wood, and I really dare not say that I can play a musical instrument. โ€

"Erhu?" Zhu Yijun sneered, he was holding the teacup in his hand, but now he was holding the teacup unsteadily, Feng Bao hurriedly stepped forward to take the teacup in Zhu Yijun's hand, so as not to let Zhu Yijun laugh and turn over the teacup and stain his clothes.

The Empress Dowager of the Two Palaces couldn't hide her surprise when she heard Huqin, and the Empress Dowager Chen covered her mouth and smiled, "I don't blame you, I don't blame you, if the mourning family learns erhu, it will be ashamed to say it." โ€

Empress Dowager Li looked at her, "Why do you have to learn erhu?" Good girl's house. "Erhu is often used for folk weddings and funerals, or with hook and fence with Hu dance, female musicians learn erhu are rare, not to mention the daughter raised in the boudoir, it is really out of the cabinet.

Wang Ronghe's face was dark, and he only bowed his head and did not speak.

The surrounding concubines and beautiful girls also exchanged heads, Wang Zhixi lowered her head, her eyes flashed a hint of trivia, she knew the reason why Wang Ronghe didn't say that she knew how to play a musical instrument, but she had to say it, so that she could smile and be generous.

"Zhang Cheng, go, take a handful of erhu and give it to Miss Wang, I want to hear it." Zhu Yijun said with a smile.

"Your Majesty." Wang Ronghe knelt down again, "The little girl is terrified, and she is really afraid that there will be a dirty saint." โ€

"It's okay, I haven't heard of sawing wood, it's just you, don't go out of your way to sawing wood to tell me." Zhu Yijun said meaningfully.

Zhang Cheng quickly brought a handful of erhu with red pear and python skin, "The girl will try to use it first, and the slave has already asked the teacher to go back and get the erhu for the girl to choose." โ€

"This one is good, I'm not a big guy, and I can't use a famous weapon." Wang Ronghe said, "There is a father-in-law." โ€

Erhu wants to sit and pull, Liu Jingzhi handed a small number up, Wang Ronghe turned around and thanked her with a smile, sorted out his clothes and sat down, the erhu frame was attached to the lower abdomen at the root of his left leg, saying that it was the level of sawing wood, obviously self-modesty, Wang Ronghe both loved erhu, how could he learn it scribbly, just like the study, Wang Ronghe and his handwriting can not be said to be not obtained through years of practice.

Wang Ronghe's love for erhu is the vicissitudes of life in the sound of the erhu, which is vast, as if it has three flavors of life and endless aftertaste. Erhu sound festive and sad is extremely and extreme, in front of the royal and can not play too sad songs, Wang Ronghe pondered for a moment, then chose the spring river flower moon night. The Spring River Flower Moon Night is also a Zheng song, the Zheng song is naturally a cluster of flowers, and the erhu is really out of people's minds.

Wang Ronghe threw himself into it, as if she was the one who stood by the river and couldn't return homesick, the more lively the scene, the better the flower, the better the night, the more miserable she was, who saw the moon for the first time on the riverside? When did Jiang Yue shine at the beginning of the year? I don't know how many people will return to the moon, and the falling moon will shake the river trees.

The sound of the erhu is very infectious, and when he heard someone crying, Wang Ronghe hurriedly gathered his mind and hurriedly pulled two short paragraphs to the end, "The erhu sound is sad, not in harmony with the sound of the piano, and it is a little thin and difficult to hear." โ€

Empress Dowager Chen looked at her, "Good boy, it turns out that you really have a high style and bright festival." Joy moves people with affection, you have such attainments, you are an erhu, and others can't laugh at you, they can only praise you. โ€

"The little girl is terrified." Wang Ronghe bowed his head and said.

"Your Majesty, this should also be rewarded." Empress Dowager Li said to Zhu Yijun.

"I don't want to reward her." Zhu Yijun said. "It's a good erhu with one hand, but I use this." Zhu Yijun carried the triangle bell and said, "But you use this to fool me." โ€

"Qin and flute ensemble, this erhu is not matched in it, she is also thinking about the overall situation, why does Your Majesty blame her?" Empress Dowager Li said, "And with such an opportunity as the Spring Banquet, she doesn't want to show herself, but she thinks about how to help the beautiful girls in the same hall, and this open-mindedness is worthy of praise." โ€

"Your Majesty takes a woman, and the first thing is a woman's virtue." Empress Dowager Li said.

Zhu Yijun scratched his ears, he really felt that Wang Ronghe was perfunctory to him, and felt a little wronged, and others rushed to show it in front of His Majesty. But he just said that, he really wanted to punish Wang Ronghe and he didn't think about it, but he was forced to reward Wang Ronghe, and he was unhappy.

How else to say the emperor's heart, the needle under the sea.

Zhu Yijun rolled his eyes and said, "Since you like erhu, I will reward you with this erhu in your hand." โ€

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Wang Ronghe said.

It turned out that the concubine had also prepared a show, but Zhu Yijun didn't let it go if she wasn't interested, and went to Jingren Palace to ascend to the test of the show girl, and the show girl could go back to Chuxiu Palace to tidy up her appearance. Yang Jingru held Wang Ronghe's hand, "Today scared me." โ€œ

Liu Jing said, "Sister, don't be afraid, even if Your Majesty doesn't want to stay, the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces will inevitably let her sister stay in the palace." โ€

Wang Ronghe smiled miserably, I really don't want to stay in the palace, "If Your Majesty doesn't want me to stay in the palace, what's the point of me staying in the palace, it's just a waste of time every year." โ€

Although there are few palace maids in Lijingxuan, fortunately, everyone is usually used to helping each other, but it was quickly sorted out, Wang Ronghe felt that there was no need to adjust, so he only changed a jacket and went to help people pull their hair.

"Sister, I'm afraid." A show girl held Wang Ronghe's hand and said, her eyes were full of fear for the future.

"Stay in the palace, fine clothes and food, if you go out of the palace, the sky is high and the sea is wide. Both are good, whatever the outcome, gladly accept it. Wang Rong and Wen Yan said.

Show girls in a row, two rows at a time into the hall, Aunt Shang Gong roll call, show girls look up, Your Majesty does not speak, then the Queen Mother of the two palaces discuss going or staying.

Zhu Yijun was in a bad mood today, and of the two groups of twenty people who went in front of him, there were eleven or twelve of them who he opened his mouth to go, and the rest were also left by the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces. Wang Ronghe waited outside, and when he saw the girl in front of him coming out, he couldn't stop covering his face and crying, saying that there were so many people who were going to go, and people were panicked for a while.

Wang Ronghe entered the hall, saluted, finished the salute, bowed his head and lowered his hands, and waited until Cui Shanggong rolled the name, the daughter of Wang Wei of the Jinyi Wei Thousand Households in Andingfang, Wang Ronghe.

Wang Ronghe slowly raised his head and looked at Zhu Yijun on the stage, the queen mother of the two palaces was satisfied, but Zhu Yijun looked at her with an interesting face, "Wang Ronghe, do you want to keep you or not?" โ€

"The new willows are flying on the embankment, and the rippling waves are chasing the water." Wang Ronghe said, "The posture of the little girl Pu Liu, I really don't dare to hope to serve Your Majesty." I still couldn't help but say more, hoping that Zhu Yijun could understand her unfinished meaning.

Zhu Yijun said that she was humble and said with a smile, "Although you are Pu Liu, who taught me that there are more flowers and willows in this harem, and I look at you fresh." Stay. โ€

Wang Ronghe could only bow his head depressedly.

"Wang Ronghe, have you forgotten Xie Zhen?" Zhu Yijun said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Wang Rong and the blessed body.
