At the beginning of the banquet, the main thing was to greet the guests and hosts, and the emperor and the ministers talked more about the entire political situation in the Tang Dynasty today. It wasn't until Concubine Xiao Shu, who was usually very popular with the emperor, opened her mouth to tell the emperor not to mention state affairs at the emperor's family banquet, that they stopped this topic that I was not interested in at all.

Xiao Shufei's plain white dress is decorated with many delicate white flowers, and her jet-black hair is pulled into a beauty bun, which is only decorated with a white hosta, which sets off her beautiful and delicate atmosphere just right. It is not easy for Concubine Xiao to be awarded the second place among the four concubines of Guishu Dexian from the previous Liangdi, and let the emperor obey her at this time.

Because there were Wu Wangke, who was full of wealth, the eldest grandson, and the famous Master Xuanzang and Qihui Daoist in the banquet, their conversation gradually turned into a discussion of Buddhism and Taoism. These broad and profound doctrinal ideas are not something that I can fully understand, but I can only be a listener.

After three rounds of drinking, the eldest grandson suddenly proposed, "Why don't you see the people of the Great Si Le?" Although it is not appropriate to play music during the national mourning, we are here to talk about the scriptures, we can play some Sanskrit music to help the fun, and at the same time pray for the blessing of the emperor. ”

I saw Xue Chuqing enter from outside the hall and knelt down on the top of the main hall: "The minister is Xue Chuqing knocking on the emperor, may my emperor live long live long live!" ”

"Xue Qing is flat!"

"Don't dare! From the emperor, the guqin musician who played Sanskrit music suddenly became ill today, and the minister couldn't find a replacement for a while......" Xue Chuqing looked a little scared.

Before the emperor could speak, the eldest grandson took the lead in making a challenge: "Bold Xue Chuqing!" What is your dereliction of duty? ”

Xue Li, the general of the right guard on the side, couldn't sit still any longer, and also got up and pleaded: "The ministers and godsons have no way, please send the emperor together!" ”

Facing the eldest grandson Wuji and Xue Li, the emperor looked embarrassed. Indeed, whether the emperor made the decision to condemn or pardon, he would offend one of the two.

I looked at Xue Chuqing, who was kneeling in embarrassment on the hall, and suddenly remembered his reluctant invitation earlier. It turned out that he didn't deliberately say nothing, but he did have something unspeakable.

I frowned, but finally got up and walked to the temple. I can't bear it in my heart, I can't bear to see the emperor embarrassed, and I can't bear to see Xue Chuqing humiliated in public. "Brother Qiyu, the courtier's sister has a proposal, I don't know if it's going to be said." I finished my salute to the Emperor and spoke.

"Chang Shan has any suggestions, although the Tao comes." The Emperor smiled at me and thanked me for helping him out of the siege.

"The courtier's sister usually has nothing to do, so she will play the piano. Although the courtier's sister is not proficient in Sanskrit music, she has just learned a song "Plum Blossom Falling" not long ago. Mei, self-improvement, loyalty and self-defense, Tsinghua outside, in it. The life of the first emperor is like a plum blossom, and the courtiers are foolish, and it is most appropriate to take Mei Yong as the first emperor. ”

"What Chang Shan said is good!" The emperor duly agreed.

"Plum is the clearest flower, the piano is the clearest sound, and the clearest thing is written with the clearest sound. The courtiers are willing to present a song "Plum Blossom Falling" to the emperor here, borrowing things to metaphor people, borrowing lyrics, and adding Yaxing to you! I knelt down as I spoke, asking for my life.

"Please allow the emperor to allow the ministers to atone for their crimes, and use the flute to play this song with the princess!" Xue Chuqing asked.

I shuddered in my heart, and I was a little happy. From Xue Chuqing's inseparability, I can conclude that he must be a person who is proficient in music and rhythm. Only, will he be my bosom friend? I wasn't sure, but I wished he was.
