Chapter 4: The Past
There are a lot of piano plays, and the previous ladies talked about the guzheng. The guzheng has twenty-one strings, and the guqin has only seven strings. Therefore, the sound range of the guzheng is wider, and the timbre is bright and gorgeous. The guqin has a low timbre, so there are not many people who go to learn, and the requirements for listening are high. So it seems a little unique among the crowd.
The moment Nangong Zhaoruo stood up, Xun Yu on the envoy's seat was stunned.
Nangong Zhaoruo is wearing a dark green skirt today, which looks extremely gentle and generous. Coupled with her beautiful face and dignified and demure temperament, they all coincide with a girl in a pink skirt in her memory.
When the next person went to get the guqin, Xun Yu whispered to the people around him: "Go and get the prince's flute quickly."
The piano has not yet been played, but it has aroused the interest of many people in the field. This is not what Queen Chu Rong wants to see. Her purpose today is mainly to let her two sisters attract everyone's attention, after all, there are two princes in the envoy, one is the fourth prince who is the favorite of Emperor Xixiang, and the other is the crown prince of Beiling. If you can get married, it will be a great help to your family.
Nangong Zhaoruo sat down with the piano, this piano is not as easy to touch as the one given to him by the teacher at home, but it is not bad.
She suddenly thought that the only person who had heard her play the piano was Lu Li except for her master and family. Lu Li? He's been gone for months, and he doesn't know how to send a letter to himself or how he's doing.
Then, the fingers were plucked, like water dripping into a deep spring, and the smart and long sound of the piano came out. She played Yangguan Sanzi, a track that was not unfamiliar.
Suddenly, there was a flute sound, which was just right and not abrupt. Everyone looked at it, and the four princes of Xixiang Kingdom didn't know when they went to the distance, holding the flute and accompanying the sound of the piano. The sound of the guqin is smaller, and the sound of the flute is clearer, and the sound of the flute together will inevitably cover the sound of the qin. But Xun Yu stood in the distance, and the fusion of the two tones seemed very appropriate.
Nangong Zhaoruo was stunned for a moment when he heard the sound of the flute, but he didn't look over, and still played the piano by himself.
This Yangguan Three Stacks is a song she suddenly likes in recent months, but unfortunately she hasn't played it to him.
Sad and pitiful, sad and pitiful, sad and pitiful, can't bear to leave, can't bear to leave.
The love is the most Yin, the love is the most Yin, the love is the most Yin, Xi forbearance, Xi forbearance.
From now on, the two places are lovesick, and who is Chen.
……
After the song, the field was suddenly unprecedentedly quiet, and the sound of the piano lingered in everyone's ears for a long time, as if there was infinite meaning waiting for people to ponder.
The first to speak was Zhao Kuo, who seemed to be a little amazed: "You have such a level at a young age, you should be rewarded."
"Thank you for your grace." Nangong Zhaoruo respectfully saluted and thanked him.
And Xun Yu, who came over from the other side, hurriedly said to Zhao Kuo: "Your Majesty, Xun Yu accidentally found out that Miss Nangong was the girl who was happy many years ago, forgive me for taking the liberty of asking the emperor to give me a marriage!"
Zhao Kuo thought to himself, it would be a joy for him to be able to use the daughter of a courtier to marry the Xixiang Kingdom to strengthen the affection between the two countries.
On the seat of General Lu's mansion, Xiao Qinghuan quietly pulled down Zhao Shuying's sleeve and whispered: "Sister Zhaoruo is going to be a bride for someone else, what should I do with my brother?"
Zhao Shuying sighed, and didn't answer Xiao Qinghuan, just let her eat vegetables. Prince Xunyu took the initiative to ask for marriage, and she, the imperial brother, would definitely gladly agree. It's a pity that Nangong Zhaoruo is such a good girl, and her son has no blessing to be with her.
"I disagree!" Nangong Zhaoruo suddenly refused in front of everyone, before the emperor agreed to this family affair.
Nangong Zhaoruo's rejection of Xun Yu in front of so many people is equivalent to refuting the face of Xixiangguo. Xun Yu was not angry, but Zhao Kuo's face was no longer good-looking.
Suddenly, Nangong Yu stood up like timely rain, walked to Nangong Zhaoruo's side and pulled her daughter to kneel, respectfully bowed and bowed, and said: "The little girl doesn't know how to count etiquette, and I hope the emperor will forgive her sins!" Zhaoruo is still young, and there are still many years before Jilu, and the request of the four princes is really a little abrupt. The four princes can take a fancy to the little girl, which is really love, but it is too early to say that they are married! ”
Zhao Kuo thought about it, after all, she was still a girl, and she was not in a hurry to discuss marriage at this time. So he put on a loving appearance and said: "Zhaoruo is still young, and he has not yet reached the age of talking about marriage, why don't the four princes come to discuss marriage in a few years?"
Xun Yu was very resolute: "Your Majesty, Xun Yu has been in love with Miss Nangong for a long time, and now she is too young to discuss marriage, can you get the emperor's permission to set this family affair for Xun Yu?"
This time his father was by his side, and Zhao Ruo didn't dare to speak again. Zhao Kuo readily agreed.
"Yes!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Being able to marry the four princes of the Xixiang Kingdom as a concubine is almost equivalent to half of the future queen of the Xixiang Kingdom in the eyes of others, this Nangong Zhaoruo is really convincing from cultivation. But at this time, she knelt on the ground, her hands clenched into fists, and her nails sank deep into the flesh.
Except for Lu Li, she didn't want to marry anyone. But now she has been accused of marrying a man she has never seen before! Where did I come from for a long time, but I only saw it today, this person's ability to make up nonsense is not small!
Nangong Zhaoruo four years ago was only seven years old, and he had no impression of such a person who had nothing to do with him. But he couldn't bear the emperor's words, and if he resisted at this time, he would drag the whole family into the water.
Behind is still the young ladies and sons showing their talents, but they are just mediocre. After everyone had finished showing, the banquet dispersed. Most of the banquets are eating and drinking, and the rest is just to add some fun. These princes and nobles have a lot of banquets on weekdays, and they only feel bored when they participate.
Nangong Mansion tonight is different from usual. Nangong Zhaoruo, who was regarded as the meat of his heart by Nangong Yu, was kneeling on the ground and being reprimanded by his parents.
"Do you know how wrong you made tonight?!" Nangong Yu was angry when he thought of Nangong Zhaoruo's rejection of the prince of the Western Princehood today, if he angered the saint, the entire family would be doomed!
"My daughter knows her mistake." Nangong Zhaoruo was very obedient and admitted his mistake.
Nangong Yu also knows that the temperament of this daughter in her family is not as well-behaved and obedient as she seems on the surface, but every time she pretends to be obedient like a kitten, she always makes herself unbearable to blame her.
"It did come suddenly, but don't think I don't know what you're thinking! I know that you are interested in that kid of the Lu family, let's not talk about the relationship between our family and the Lu family, let's just say that he went to the battlefield early, and his sword has no eyes. I don't know when he lost his life! ”
Nangong Zhaoruo knew about the sinister situation on the battlefield, and he was already very worried, and when his father said this, he felt even more uncomfortable.
Li Shuangyi on the side also said: "The four princes of the people are the most favored in the Xixiang country, and there will be such a thing as feelings for a long time, I think the four princes of the people are very attentive to you, what is there to ......
Before he finished speaking, he was suddenly interrupted by Nangong Yu: "And you!" Do you have to let Zhao Ruo be in the limelight?! Can't you see that the queen came up with this method to mention her own sisters?! I don't know how to explain to the Prime Minister and Queen now! ”
Li Yishuang bowed her head in fear, wringed the handkerchief in her hand, but still argued: "It's Zhaoruo who is favored by the four princes, even if Zhaoruo fools around at will, it doesn't necessarily mean that the four princes will fall in love with the two of the prime minister's family!"
"You!" Nangong Yu was so angry that he didn't want to talk to her more, and this kind of thing couldn't be said to be white. The important thing is that he has to think about it, and when the time comes, the prime minister asks what to say in order to calm the prime minister's anger. Otherwise, if you are an enemy of the prime minister, you will not have a good time in the future.
Su Liang and Wei Ranze returned to their residence after the feast. They were not in a hurry to rest, so they sat in the room of Wei Ranze, drank a cup of tea, and then consumed their food.
"I've always wanted to see General Lu, but unfortunately he wasn't there this time. I don't think there's anything going on here, when are we going back? Wei Ranze's tone was a little regretful, he had heard that the landing general was good at martial arts and was loyal, but it was a pity that he was under such a king.
"I guess I have to stay for half a month. If you find it boring, I'll take you to the biggest tavern here on a cloudy day. The Nanwei cuisine is sweet but not greasy, and the taste is good. Su Liang said with a smile.
"Okay," Wei Ranze happily agreed, and asked instead: "By the way, you said that this Xun Yu really came to Nanwei Kingdom just to find that Miss Nangong?"
"I don't know about this, but looking at him like that, he really cares about it. He doesn't have a bad eye. ”
Wei Ranze quipped: "Xun Yu may have taken a fancy to other people's appearance, this Miss Nangong has such a posture at a young age, I have never seen a few appearances that can be compared with it since I was a child living in the palace."
"Do you kid also have a crush on others? I think I'll have to tell your father that the emperor is planning to choose a concubine for you! ”
"Am I so superficial?!" Wei Ranze turned his head disdainfully.
He thought for a while and said, "I've also thought about what kind of girl I'm looking for, I don't like that kind of young lady who is bound by the boudoir, and I don't dare to sit when I stand up, it's so boring." I'm looking for someone who doesn't stick to etiquette and is really cute. ”
Su Liang smiled: "You are also with your father!"
"Yes! It's the best like my mother! Wei Ranze said with a hippie smile.
