"Huh?" Yu was also a little confused.

Bai Jiangyi subconsciously reached out and touched his face, but he only felt the tenderness of the skin on his hand.

"It's over, I'm veiled."

It turned out that Bai Jiangyi was also walking towards Xingqing Palace, she and Shen Ling and Shen Xuan made an appointment to meet at Xuanwu Gate, who wanted to go halfway and didn't know when the veil would fall.

Bai Jiangyi was speechless for a while, and he didn't know what to do, or Yu Yi broke the deadlock: "Where is the white girl going?" ”

Bai Jiangyi grinned and immediately rode a donkey downhill: "Ah, I'm going home, don't bother King Lin, the little woman said goodbye." ”

After finishing speaking, he immediately saluted and ran forward, the matter of his orchestra performance must not be known to Yu Yi, in case the defendant sends it to his father, he will be finished. And the current direction of progress is the palace, and Lin Wang Yu will also participate in the banquet, so wouldn't it be to go along. Bai Jiangyi felt that it was too obvious, so he immediately turned around and walked back, thinking about making a detour to avoid His Royal Highness the Linwang.

When he passed by His Royal Highness again, he said hello awkwardly, and then quickened his pace and fled. Only Yu Yi who was messy in the wind with a sugar gourd was left.

After returning to Linwang's Mansion, Yu Yi and Shen Jiayi converged, and the two walked to Xingqing Hall together. Xingqing Hall is a special place for Emperor An to set up a banquet. Compared with the Qinzheng Palace, the Xingqing Hall is not so majestic and solemn, and the red coiled dragon pillars and various colored curtains have the feeling of a capital tavern.

After a short time, all the ministers sat down in turn, and the royal banquet was all one minister and one table. Emperor An sat on the main seat, flanked by Empress An and Concubine Yun. Below is the crown prince Zhao Changge and Zhao Yixuan, the third prince of Qingyang, the only son of Concubine Yun. And the first position under the steps sat on both sides of the second prince Zhao Changwei and Linwang Yu Yi, and Shen Jiayi sat behind Yu Yi. The other ministers will sit unwritten according to their official positions.

Seeing that all the ministers were seated, Emperor An was very happy to stand up with his wine glass: "Now that Guanbei is pacified, the people of Qingyang can live and work in peace and contentment." Emperor An raised his wine glass high, "Today, the monarchs and ministers drink together, and if you don't get drunk, you won't return!" ”

The ministers also stood up and raised their glasses: "Long live my emperor!" ”

Emperor An waved his hand to signal everyone to sit down, and Emperor An looked at the civil and military officials in the hall and was very pleased. About 20 of them have been following their own southern conquests and northern wars inch by inch to conquer the country, and the remaining ministers are also world-minded and talented. Now that the Kantoku region has been completely pacified, the people do not have to suffer from the invasion of foreign enemies, and they can develop the country with peace of mind and make their lives more prosperous.

It was only when his eyes fell on Yu Yi that Emperor An sighed lightly. Now everyone is developing towards a better life, only this is the only son of his late brother who worships his son, who lives alone all the year round and goes into battle to kill the enemy, and now he is about to integrate into the life of ordinary people, and he no longer knows how to get along with others.

Queen An can naturally see her husband's sorrows, as a woman, she should not participate in court politics, but how can she ignore Yu Yi, as her own righteous son? thought in his heart that it was time to find an excellent woman for Yu Yi. Empress An gently held Emperor An's hand holding the wine glass and squeezed it, indicating that it would be good to hand it over to herself. An Di also knew that his queen could understand what he thought, so he also nodded with satisfaction.

At this time, Zhao Changge got up and walked in front of Emperor An and bowed: "Father, my sons heard that there is an orchestra in the capital, and five people can play a tune together with five musical instruments, which is extremely pleasant. Therefore, the sons invited them into the palace to play a song for their father and the ministers. ”

Emperor An was interested when he heard it, although it was not uncommon for five instruments to play a piece together, but Zhao Changge usually came into contact with a lot of new things, and the orchestra he recommended must be different. In addition, the palace orchestra has long been tired of it for decades, wouldn't it be beautiful to have a fresh orchestra to play now?

An Di put down his wine glass and laughed, "Hurry up." ”

Yu Yi naturally has no interest in these, just drinking alone with his head covered, in his opinion, everything in the capital is good, but this wine is not as good as the wine made by the Guanbei soldiers themselves.

At this time, the center of the hall was pushed by the eunuchs into five cylindrical screens, three in the front and two in the back. Through the tulle, you can see musicians holding instruments in each screen. This way of appearing is also very novel, so that the ministers have stopped the chopsticks and wine glasses in their hands.

The music sounded, and the tulle of the three screens in front of it fell first. There were three men wearing masks, the person in the middle holding Changxiao, the sound of the flute was sandwiched with the breath of the ice spring, suddenly like the waves advancing layer by layer, suddenly like snowflakes flying, suddenly like a whirlwind in the canyon, sharply upward, suddenly like the Milky Way flowing quietly in the middle of the night. More than half of the sound of the flute, the men holding the flute on both sides also joined in, the originally calm sound of the flute is like a calm lakeside, and the sound of the flute added is like a stone falling into the calm lakeshore to set off a wave of waves. The lakeside is refreshing, and the flickering flute sounds fluctuate the heartstrings of everyone from time to time, which makes it feel uncomfortable. All the ministers present applauded softly, but only Yu Yi still drank one cup after another.

After Xiao and Di played a song, the music fell into calm again, and the ministers were also appeased by the music, their eyes narrowed slightly, and they were immersed in the sea of music. Just when everyone thought it was the climax, Xiao Flute's sound suddenly stopped. Then the tulle of the two screens in the back quietly landed. Two women appeared in the eyes of the ministers, the woman in pink held the pipa, and the woman in yellow put her hand lightly on the zither.

Yu Yi drank another cup and happened to see the woman in yellow behind the guzheng. Yu Yi thought he was drunk, so he closed his eyes and shook his head. When he reopened his eyes, Yu Yi and the woman in yellow happened to look at each other, and Yu Yi, whose crystal clear eyes in the water, recognized this as Bai Jiangyi, the eldest lady of the Bai family, at a glance.

The music also resounded as the two looked at each other, and the Xiao Di ensemble was already at its climax, and the addition of pipa and guzheng made the whole piece even more unique. After the song was played, everyone in the hall was deeply immersed and couldn't extricate themselves, only Yu Yi kept staring at Bai Jiangyi who was playing the guzheng.

During the performance just now, Yu Yi seemed to have met a different Miss Bai again. Wangchun Lou saw Bai Jiangyi for the first time, he thought that this woman was lively and active, and his temperament was different from ordinary people, and the second time he met in the Tongcha Mansion, he felt that Bai Jiangyi was not worse than a man.

Yu Yi looked a little fascinated and smiled unconsciously. And all this was seen by Queen An and Zhao Changge, and the mother and son smiled at each other, as if they had discovered something terrible.

"Good!" An Di applauded unrestrainedly, "This orchestra has a unique style, and each musician can be independent, which is very good!" Reward! “

The orchestra that heard this also secretly celebrated, and this palace performance was to show up in front of all the officials, so that the orchestra would have more opportunities to perform in the future. The other rewards were not taken to heart. At this time, Yu also spoke.

"Your Majesty, this orchestra is so good, why don't you give it a name?"

The crown prince Zhao Changge immediately understood and echoed: "Please give the name to my father." ”

Today is a celebration banquet, and this orchestra is also deeply loved by Emperor An, so he is naturally willing to give it a name, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Pen and ink." ”

Li Gonggong arranged for someone to send pen and ink, and Emperor An picked up the brush and wrote three words on the paper heroically. After Emperor An finished writing, the two fathers-in-law stepped forward and held up the words to display.

Emperor An put down the brush and said: "Now that I have decided the beginning of Qingyang Kingdom, the people can live and work in peace and contentment, I don't know if the five of you are still satisfied with this fixed settlement?" In addition, there is a building in the Schirle Building. ”

Bai Jiangyi and the others in the audience also immediately bowed down when they heard this: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace!" ”

Seeing this, Zhao Changge also looked at Yu Yi, and it happened that Yu Yi also looked at Zhao Changge. The prince looked at King Lin and smiled slightly and raised his eyebrows, which also made Yu Yi laugh.

After the hiccup, the banquet returned to normal.

......

"Cheers!"

After Bai Jiangyi and the others finished playing, they left the palace and returned to Wangchun Tower, and the Wangchun Tower at night and during the day were simply like two places. Now the Wangchun Building is full of lights, and the men and women in the hall are laughing and happy. And Bai Jiangyi and others held their own celebration banquet in the private room.

The five of them were drinking, and a graceful woman pushed the door into the room, with a round fan on her face, and her voice was very good: "It seems that today's performance is good." ”

When Shen Xuan saw the comer, he immediately ran over and pulled her to the chair: "Sister Wanrong, we won't be able to play in this Wangchun Tower in the future." Your Majesty has given us a name, and he has given us a building. Do you want to come with us? ”

Wanrong stopped talking when she heard this, and her extremely beautiful peach blossom eyes became lost. Wanrong is the Oiran of Wangchun Tower and a good friend of Bai Jiangyi and Shen Xuan. Originally, Wanrong was framed by someone to buy this Wangchun Building was already desperate, if it weren't for Bai Jiangyi and others, she was afraid that she would have committed suicide in the room, it was they who gave her hope to live, and now she is happy for them, but she is also disappointed for herself.

Bai Jiangyi could also see the loss in Wanrong's eyes, although he didn't speak, he also had thoughts in his heart. After Wanrong left, he asked Shen Ling: "Shen Ling, how many taels of silver do you need to redeem Wanrong?" ”

Shen Ling naturally knew what Bai Jiangyi wanted to do, but Wangchun Tower was the first green building in the capital, and Wanrong was the Oiran of Wangchun Tower, so how easy was it to redeem Wanrong? And Wanrong is the cash cow of Wangchun Tower, which can make money for Wangchun Tower, even if there is money, Wangchun Tower may not be willing to sell.

Seeing that Shen Ling didn't speak, Bai Jiangyi was also anxious, so he ran out of the door alone and ran to the room of the shopkeeper of Wangchun Building.

Although the shopkeeper of Wangchun Building was a little surprised to see the visitor, after all, the two sides are cooperative families and the eldest lady of the Bai family, so he also asked politely: "Miss Bai, I don't know what is going on?" ”

Bai Jiangyi got straight to the point: "I want to redeem my body for Miss Wanrong, you make a price." ”

Wangchun Lou looked at the little girl in front of him and didn't know whether to be angry or laugh for a while, but the professional etiquette still made him reply patiently: "Miss Bai, Miss Wanrong is willing to sell herself to Wangchun Tower for life, so it is reasonable that she belongs to Wangchun Tower all her life." But if you really want to redeem her for 10,000 taels of gold, what do you think? ”

Bai Jiangyi was stunned when he heard this: "Shopkeeper Cheng, are you opening Wangchun Tower or robbing in the mountains?" ”

Shopkeeper Cheng didn't laugh angrily, but got up and poured a glass of water for Bai Jiangyi, who was huffing, and said, "Miss Bai, I don't think you should understand this account, right?" ”

In fact, Bai Jiangyi can naturally understand what the shopkeeper said. Wanrong, as the Oiran of the first green building in the capital, is willing to pay an incomprehensible high price every night for the spectators who see the grand face, so it is only a matter of time before Wanrong earns 10,000 taels of gold for Wangchun Tower. Therefore, Bai Jiangyi was also told by the shopkeeper Cheng that he didn't know how to refute.

But Bai Jiangyi, who was already unwilling to admit defeat, could be angry at the shopkeeper of the Qinglou, picked up the teacup and drank it all and said: "Ten thousand taels of gold, yes, yes." ”

Shopkeeper Cheng naturally thought that this little girl was joking, so he also smiled: "Then it's decided." ”

At night, Bai Jiangyi repeated his old trick and climbed over the wall and returned to the room, and Ah Ruan couldn't wait to fall asleep on the table. Bai Jiangyi looked at the maid in front of her and helplessly found a thin quilt to cover her, and then sat by the window and looked at the starry sky at night.

Bai Jiangyi supported his chin with his hands and sighed, his mind was all about the affairs of the shopkeeper Cheng tonight.

At that time, I impulsively agreed, and now I think that the total belongings of the whole Baifu Mansion are only ten thousand taels of gold, but if you really use the whole family's belongings to redeem Wanrong's body, then your father will send her to see her mother. But now they have already boasted about Haikou, otherwise they will be able to hold their heads up in this capital in the future.

Thinking of this, Bai Jiangyi was crazy, but he was helpless. A meteor crossed the sky, and Bai Jiangyi also thought of something instantly, revealing an intriguing smile.

Nothing was said all night
