Chapter 150: Persecution
With the voice, Lin Junyao immediately saw a young man wearing a yellow three-dragon descending brocade robe, wearing a crown of cupola, and stepping on cloud boots, looking extravagant and sky-high, walking towards the main hall of Kunyuan Palace from the central avenue.
This young man has excellent appearance, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and is extremely handsome, Lin Junyao knows that this person must be Li Xian, the crown prince of the dynasty.
Although she didn't speak, Lin Junyao still bent down slightly and saluted respectfully.
When passing by Lin Junyao's side, Li Xian stopped, looking at Lin Junyao who was quiet and moving in front of him, Li Xian also nodded with satisfaction.
"Congratulations to Miss Lin for being crowned the county lord. Smiling slightly, Li Xian gently congratulated Lin Junyao.
"Thank you, Your Highness the Prince. The waist and slightly bent knees had straightened, but Lin Junyao did not raise her head completely, but lowered her head and spoke calmly.
Seeing Lin Junyao's appearance, Li Xian seemed to have thought of something, and a wicked smile appeared on his face, and he said slowly, "The performance of the county lord at the Lanting Festival that day, this palace has also heard of it, and today at the invitation of the queen mother, I went to Kunyuan Palace to evaluate the county lord's immortal sound, and I didn't inform the county lord in advance, and I hope that the county lord will not be strange." ”
"Yu Yao didn't dare. There was already a little nervousness in her heart, but Lin Junyao still tried to calm down and answered politely.
This time, Li Xian didn't reply, and after listening to Lin Junyao's answer, Li Xian laughed heartily and walked all the way into the main hall of Kunyuan Palace.
Looking at Li Xian's back, Lin Junyao's brows furrowed slightly, and a slight sense of foreboding floated in her heart.
Li Xian's eyes had a hint of suppressed greed, although he was simple-minded, but Lin Junyao was a girl who had not left the cabinet after all, and Lin Junyao was extremely sensitive to such a gaze. In particular, Li Xian's gaze gave Lin Junyao a vague sense of familiarity.
Lin Junyao could be sure that she hadn't seen Li Xian before, but where did this feeling come from?
"County Lord, the queen is invited. Just as Lin Junyao was thinking silently, the palace maid who was in charge of the report had already walked out of the main hall and spoke to Lin Junyao.
"I'm tired. Hurriedly retracting her thoughts, Lin Junyao bowed slightly to the palace maid, and then followed behind and walked into Kunyuan Palace.
As soon as she entered the Kunyuan Palace, Lin Junyao immediately felt a slight coldness, there were almost no subordinates in the entire palace, which was extremely inconsistent with the palace of the mother of the country that Lin Junyao imagined, and, for some reason, as soon as Lin Junyao entered this palace, she immediately felt as if she was being targeted by someone, and she was uncomfortable.
"County Lord, what's wrong?" Feeling that Lin Junyao's footsteps were a little hesitant, the palace maid who led the way turned around and asked Lin Junyao with concern.
Looking up, Lin Junyao immediately found that the palace maid seemed to have a hint of a smile on her face, and suddenly, her heart tightened. But when she looked at it seriously again, she found that the expression on the palace maid's face had become very normal, as if the smile that had just fallen into her eyes was a complete illusion.
"Nothing. Smiling and shaking her head, Lin Junyao spoke politely, but the uneasiness in her heart expanded more and more.
After such a small episode, Lin Junyao followed behind the palace maid and continued to walk into Kunyuan Palace. Soon, the main hall of Kunyuan Palace appeared in front of Lin Junyao, on the main seat of the high platform, the queen Xiao Shi, who was dressed in a nine-phoenix Chaoyang suit, was sitting there quietly, and the crown prince Li Xian was already sitting on the left side of the head, and an empty seat was set aside on the right, and a Yaoqin was placed there, presumably, that was Lin Junyao's position.
Seeing the Xiao family, Lin Junyao immediately curtsied and saluted, "Courtier, Yuyao, please say hello to the queen." ”
Smiling slightly, Xiao raised his hand, "Jun Yao doesn't have to be polite, please sit down." ”
"Xie Niangniang. With a thank you, Lin Junyao stood up and came to his seat.
Between walking, Lin Junyao always had a feeling that she was on her back, because she always felt that the eyes of the crown prince Li Xian, who was sitting there, had always stayed on her.
Under the etiquette of the Tianyuan Dynasty, it was actually extremely rude to stare at a woman all the time, but Lin Junyao didn't dare to look back at random, and after sitting in his place, Lin Junyao could only hang his head and hide the panic in his heart.
It didn't seem to notice Lin Junyao's unnaturalness, Xiao Shi smiled and said, "Jun Yao, the mourning family appreciates your piano skills very much, but it's a pity that you have something important to return at the Lanting Festival and can't have fun, so the mourning family specially invited you to come and talk about the piano with the mourning family." Hearing about Jun Yao's divine arts, the lord of my son's East Palace also very much hopes that he can listen to Jun Yao's immortal voice, and take the liberty to come, hoping that Jun Yao will not blame him. ”
"Yu Yao didn't dare. Bowing her head slightly, Lin Junyao spoke softly.
Hearing Lin Junyao's answer, Xiao Shi's face also showed a smile, and he waved his hand slightly, and immediately an old eunuch flashed out from behind Xiao Shi and sent a music sheet to Lin Junyao's table.
Seeing the old eunuch suddenly appear, Lin Junyao was also shocked in her heart, and when she entered the main hall, Lin Junyao clearly remembered that there was no one around the queen, where did this old eunuch come from?
Although she was horrified in her heart, Lin Junyao did not show it.
"Jun Yao, this is a new piece I recently composed, called "Xiaochun". After composing the composition, I just played it a few times by myself, but I was always a little dissatisfied. When you are old, you always have some improper experience of this lively thing, if Jun Yao doesn't think this song is vulgar, please play it for the mourning family. Seeing Lin Junyao take over the score, Xiao immediately spoke softly.
"It is Yuyao's honor to be able to play the music composed by Niangniang. With a bow, Lin Junyao unfolded the score and lowered his head to read it.
The fingering of this song "Xiaochun" is not complicated, but the artistic conception is extremely wonderful, just one look at the score, Lin Junyao has already determined in his heart that this is a very good work.
After reading the score three times in a row, Lin Junyao was already completely familiar with the main points of the score.
Taking a deep breath, Lin Junyao's jade hands poked out of his sleeves and put them on top of the Yaoqin in front of him.
The next moment, the ethereal sound of the piano came, and a refreshing breath suddenly grew in the originally somewhat cold and depressed Kunyuan Palace.
Lin Junyao's attainments in music and rhythm are indeed extremely profound, as soon as the piano music came out, the crown prince Li Xian, who was sitting opposite Lin Junyao, immediately closed his eyes, listened to the exquisite music in his ears, and began to beat the beat.
Under the sound of Lin Junyao's piano, there was a faint artistic conception of birds singing and flowers on the empty hall. Lin Junyao's piano is exquisite, and the artistic conception has reached the level of harmony between mind and nature, and only by virtue of the sound of the piano, a sense of dawn and spring has been created in this hall.
Finally, when the song fell, Xiao and the crown prince Li Xian couldn't help but applaud.
Listening to the applause of the two, Lin Junyao's expression also relaxed slightly, "Queen Mother, His Royal Highness the Prince, Yu Yao is ugly." ”
With a smile still on his face, Xiao Shi turned his head to look at Li Xian on the side, and asked aloud, "Emperor, Jun Yao, this Qu Xiaochun, what do you think?"
"Spring is full of Qimo, Qingle moves Yunshao, silk and bamboo pass witty words, and fairy music is free. The lord of Yuyao County is talented and moving, has outstanding piano skills, and has three flavors in the deep song, which is admired by the palace. With an intoxicated expression on his face, Li Xian commented with emotion.
Raising her head in some surprise, Lin Junyao looked at Li Xian who was intoxicated, she really didn't expect Li Xian to be able to hear the moving parts of her song.
"The emperor's words are deep in the heart of the mourning family, Jun Yao is emotional, and the piano art is rare in the world, the mourning family really likes it, if Jun Yao can stay in the palace and come to the mourning family every day to walk around the Kunyuan Palace, it would be great. With a peaceful smile on his face, Xiao Shi looked at Lin Junyao and spoke slowly.
There was a sense of expectation in these words, and Lin Junyao didn't know how to answer for a while.
After a pause, Lin Junyao spoke slowly, "Thank you Niangniang for your love, if Niangniang likes it, Junyao will often come to serve Niangniang in the future." ”
Looking at Lin Junyao, and then at Li Xian on the side, Xiao smiled and said, "Even if you come often, you can't see each other every day, it's not beautiful after all." Jun Yao, I intend to give you to the crown prince, so that you can stay in the East Palace, and it will be much more convenient for the mourning family here in the future, what do you think?"
"Ah!" The point finally came, and Lin Junyao had already had such worries since the beginning. Now, hearing the queen say this, Lin Junyao finally couldn't help but exclaim.
"What's the matter, Jun Yao doesn't look down on my emperor?" Seeing Lin Junyao's reaction, Xiao Shi immediately spoke up, and there was a hint of majesty in his words.
"No, it's not. Hurriedly waved her hand, Lin Junyao said in a panic, "Niangniang, it's not that Yuyao is offended, Niangniang has the heart to show love, and Yuyao is grateful." It's just that Yu Yao already has a husband candidate, and Yu Yao's good intentions are really unacceptable. ”
His brows furrowed slightly, and Xiao Shi said indifferently, "Jun Yao, if the princes and nobles are married to each other, or if they are married, they will go to Kunyuan Palace to report." The mourning family didn't hear that you were married before, since this is the case, what is wrong with the mother of the mourning family's country who refers to her marriage?"
Xiao's words were reasonable, and Lin Junyao couldn't even think of how to refute them. In the Tianyuan Dynasty, if all the noble daughters want to marry, they will first report to the Kunyuan Palace, because most of the marriages of the children of the nobles are personally directed by the queen or the emperor, even if the two are in love, the elders of the family will meet the queen in advance and ask for marriage.
And the difference between the identities of Lin Junyao and Zhou Yun is too big, so naturally they have not gone through this procedure.
With an anxious face, Lin Junyao was already panicked in her heart, the queen personally pointed out the marriage, which was almost impossible to refuse, but Lin Junyao still insisted on speaking, "Niangniang, Jun Yao does have a husband candidate, just because he is still serving the country, so he has not talked about marriage early, but Jun Yao will definitely not marry someone else in this life." She was already extremely flustered in her heart, and for a while, Lin Junyao forgot to call herself the title of county lord, and directly mentioned her name.
Seeing Lin Junyao's appearance, Xiao knew that no matter what, Lin Junyao would not obediently agree.
A touch of coldness flashed in his eyes, and Xiao Shi slowly spoke, "It is impossible to make a marriage in private, Jun Yao, as the lord of the current dynasty, how can you not understand this truth? My emperor likes you very much, and the mourning family also likes you very much." I recruited you into the palace today to make a marriage contract for you and the emperor of the mourning family. ”
Slowly beckoning, the old eunuch behind Xiao immediately took out a roll of yellow silk cloth.
"This is a marriage letter given by the mourning family, as long as Jun Yao signs it, this matter will be settled. As for the young man you originally fancied, it is okay for the mourning family to refer to a county lord in the future, or even a princess to him. ”
As soon as the words fell, the old eunuch immediately walked in front of Lin Junyao with the yellow silk cloth.
"Niangniang, don't, I really can't!" In an instant, Lin Junyao's tears immediately dripped down like beads of broken threads, she didn't expect that entering the palace today would be like this. Whether she wants it or not, once this marriage letter is signed, there is really nothing to change.
"County Lord, the mother is so loving, don't shirk it, let's sign it obediently. Walking up to Lin Junyao, the old eunuch smiled darkly, grabbed Lin Junyao's wrist, and wanted to force her to write her name on the marriage certificate.
"Don't! don't !!" Qiao's face was already covered with tears, Lin Junyao cried out in pain, but she couldn't stop her hand at all. She didn't have any cultivation herself, so how could she resist?
Seeing that Lin Junyao was about to sign her name on the marriage certificate, Queen Xiao and Prince Li Xian glanced at each other, and a smile appeared on their faces.
Just as Lin Junyao was about to sign his name, suddenly, the sound of a turbulent sea tide, accompanied by the dragon's chant, sounded in Kunyuan Palace.
"Queen Xiao, persecuting the little girl so much, I'm afraid she has lost her identity. In the midst of this dragon roaring tide, an old, but majestic, voice suddenly came out.
Hearing this voice, Xiao Shi and the prince's faces immediately changed drastically!
