Chapter 22 Crises abound
After the song was blown, Xiao Qingzhu stood quietly on the stage, and everyone received surprised or jealous eyes. Liu Yuyao didn't expect that her own design would be self-defeating and make this cheap breed in the limelight!
It's tolerable, it's unbearable!
Xiao Qingzhu was also a little surprised. She didn't expect such a consequence, she just wanted to pretend to be a stone and be obscure.
The queen nodded: "Your song is really beautiful, even the withered branch peony is open for you." ”
The queen praised it. ”
At this time, Zhang Wanjun said inappropriately: "Strange tricks!"
"Oh?" the queen mother turned her head and asked, "What did you just say?"
Zhang Wanjun stood up, bowed down and said: "The courtiers think that Miss Liu Si desecrated the withered peony with her strange skills, and the crime is unforgivable. ”
The queen's face was expressionless. At this time, Concubine Liu, who has always been good-tempered, asked: "Blowing leaves is a common thing in the fields, how can it be said to be a strange skill?"
Zhang Wanjun smiled: "Because of this, the courtiers have to say this." Miss Liu Si played obviously vulgar folk music, but she urged the holy withered branch peony to open early, and she should be taken down for accountability!"
Xiao Qingzhu sneered: "Then dare to ask Miss Zhang, do you think the Book of Poetry is vulgar or not?"
Zhang Wanjun opened her mouth and said: "Of course it's not vulgar, it's Shangshang Yayin." ”
Xiao Qingzhu continued: "Then do you know that many of the poems in the Book of Poetry are handed down by the laborers in the fields? If Miss Zhang classifies local music as vulgar, doesn't that mean that such a superior Yayin is also a vulgar work?"
Zhang Wanjun immediately opened her mouth and stammered: "Even if you are right, can you ...... But you urged the peony away, this is clearly a strange omen......"
This is really a sin that you want to add, and there is no excuse for it. Concubine Liu sank her face: "Bold! The withered branch peony is the sacred flower of Dongshan Country, you actually slandered this as a demonic omen, what crime should you be guilty of?"
Zhang Wanjun hurriedly kowtowed and said, "The courtiers don't dare." The courtiers just felt that the folk music was not worthy of the peony of the country. It is more appropriate for Miss Liu's famous flowers to pour into the country. ”
The crown prince was amused by her remarks: "What the famous flowers are talking about is the dirty affair between Emperor Tang Ming and Yang Guifei, such a glamorous voice, you actually say that it is suitable for the holy withered branch peony? Miss Zhang, I think it is not good for your mouth to be well managed." Come on, slap her mouth!"
Zhang Guifei wanted to stop it, but the queen mother took the first step and said: "Pull it down and fight!"
"Ah! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince spares her life!" Zhang Wanjun was so frightened that she kowtowed again and again, and several grandmothers couldn't help but say, pulled her down, crackled and slapped her.
At this moment, the county lord of Zhuanghua did not dare to speak, and even Liu Yuyao was gloomy. The queen said with a smile: "You really should slap your mouth! How can the holy flower be slandered at will! It's just Liu Zhaodi, although folk music is good, not everyone can appreciate it." Next time, you can play a piece of court music. ”
"Hongu loves this folk music. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said lazily, "Concubine Liu, ask someone to bring the purple bamboo flying flute from the palace and give it to Miss Liu Si." ”
Concubine Liu said with a smile: "Yes." ”
Xiao Qingzhu was taken aback, she knew what this flute meant: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, this thing is too valuable, I'm afraid the courtiers can't afford it!"
The prince waved his hand: "No one deserves it except you." ”
As she spoke, Concubine Liu took the Zizhu Flying Flower Flute. Sure enough, it's a good thing! I saw that the flute was dark purple all over, moist like beautiful jade, and it was cool to the touch, which made people feel refreshed. The prince smiled: "I am usually reluctant to use this flute. If you play your music today on this flute, it will sound even more beautiful. In the future, let's make good use of this flute and play more Shangshang Yayin!" As he spoke, he personally sent the flute to Xiao Qingzhu's hands.
At this moment, everyone's eyes looking at Xiao Qingzhu changed: This is the future crown princess, there is no doubt! Xiao Qingzhu couldn't refuse, so he had to kneel down and thank him.
At the moment when Xiao Qingzhu raised his hand to catch the flute, Zhang Guifei, who had been silent, suddenly looked at Xiao Qingzhu's cuffs: "What kind of flowers are sewn on those cuffs!"
Liu Yuyao pretended to look at it, and immediately her face changed greatly: "Ah, this is ......" She immediately knelt down and apologized to the queen: "Queen Mother, my sister is the first time to enter the palace and doesn't understand the rules." Please forgive the queen!"
"What's wrong?"
Xiao Qingzhu's face was suspicious, and Liu Yuyao pretended to be surprised: "Sister, don't you know that this picture is only available for the mother of a country, and you embroider it on the cuffs, but it's disrespectful!"
"But ......" Xiao Qingzhu was about to speak, but Zhang Guifei snorted coldly: "The little adopted daughter actually has such a mind." Come on, pull her down and lock her up!"
"The concubine forgives her sins, the courtiers just like this pattern, and there is no disrespect!" Xiao Qingzhu also panicked, and she quickly knelt down.
The queen smiled: "That's it, those who don't know are not guilty." Liu Zhaodi, get up. ”
Zhang Guifei sneered: "The queen's words are wrong. If a sentence of liking can be absolved, then there will be no discipline and law in the country. Someone!"
The queen's face turned cold, but she was blocked and speechless. The two guards walked up, and just as they were about to drag Xiao Qingzhu away, Concubine Liu stopped them.
"Wait!"
Concubine Liu walked down, she pulled up Xiao Qingzhu's cuffs and looked at them, and said with a smile: "Miss Liu, what do you think the fourth lady's cuffs are embroidered?"
Liu Yuyao said tremblingly: "Yes...... It's a phoenix!"
Concubine Liu raised Xiao Qingzhu's sleeve and flipped down her cuffs: "Queen Mother, please look, Miss Liu Si's cuffs are clearly embroidered with a few peck flower parrots." But Miss Liu said that this is a pattern that can only be used by the mother of the country, which is really ridiculous. ”
Flower parrots?
Everyone looked at it and couldn't help but laugh dumbly: It's true. It's just that this parrot's tail is a little longer, and at first glance it really looks a bit like a phoenix.
It turned out that as early as when Concubine Liu and Xiao Qingzhu were in the same car, Concubine Liu was attracted by the strange pattern on Xiao Qingzhu's cuffs. It is rare for parrots to make embroidery samples, and it is the first time I have seen such a witty embroidery. Concubine Liu also laughed because of this, saying that her mind was really different.
Concubine Liu said with a smile: "It is said that Miss Liu is very talented, but today she can't even tell the difference between a parrot and a phoenix, so it can be seen that the rumors are not true." ”
Liu Yuyao's face was red and white for a while, and she coughed lightly: "Cough, courtier...... The courtier's eyes were clumsy, she wronged her sister, and asked her sister for forgiveness. ”
The prince picked up a cup of tea and sneered: "The clumsy eyes can still be remedied, but if the mind is broken, there is no salvation." Miss Liu, what do you say?"
Liu Yuyao lowered her head deeply, not daring to speak. Zhang Guifei glanced at Xiao Qingzhu resentfully, and sneered: "Who hasn't missed a few things? Is it worth making such a fuss? If there is no change, it will be encouraged, and it can be regarded as a wake-up call for Miss Liu Si." ”
The prince smiled and said, "If you wronged a good person because you saw the wrong thing, then it would be a great sin." The concubine Niangniang is so frivolous, it can't be deliberate favoritism, right?"
"You!" Zhang Guifei's eyes widened angrily, "Isn't this not wronged her?"
"Okay, okay, it's all a small thing, there's no need to argue. The queen mother came to play a round, "It's all gone, and the palace is also lacking." ”
"Yes!"
The women retired one after another.
Xiao Qingzhu walked out of the palace gate with a sullen smile, and at this moment, a figure passed by her, and pulled the flute out of her hand.
"Huh?" Xiao Qingzhu turned her head and saw Zhang Wanjun rubbing the flute, her face was swollen and purple, as if she had eaten a leavening agent, and her nose and eyes were sunken.
Xiao Qingzhu sighed: "Miss Zhang, what do you want to do?"
Zhang Wanjun raised her eyelids with great effort and looked at her viciously: "What a Liu Zhaodi, I remember you." We'll see!" he said, and threw the flute back to her.
Xiao Qingzhu took the flute and silently looked at her distant back.
