XVII. Show your talents
Two months have passed since the birthday banquet in a blink of an eye, and tomorrow will be the emperor's birthday banquet. That night, Nan Su was called over by Gongzi and said: Su'er, tomorrow I will sacrifice you to King Xishu, you must help me realize my wish to restore the country, I will not treat you badly! Nan Xu couldn't help but say: With the strength of my little woman, can I really help my son realize his dream of recovering the country? Wuxian said: Su'er, you only need to drag him with beauty for a few years, and I am sure of success! Xu'er, I know I have wronged you, but for the sake of the people of Chaoyang Kingdom, so that they can return to their homeland, and for the happiness of our children and grandchildren, I can only do this! Su'er...... Traceless tears flowed, and the voice was like a cuckoo crying blood: Su'er, I am pleased with you! My heart hurts so much, I can't bear you! At this moment, she deeply felt the pain of Childe, he had never seen such a gaffe Childe, her heart also hurt, and the plan with the prince was also shaken... She said sadly: Childe, does it have to be like this? Is there any other way? Traceless said: "Su'er, this is the only way to win. The king of Xishu is brave and good at fighting, and only by holding him back can we have any hope of victory. Nan Xu said: Childe, isn't it good for us to live like this? Why do you have to return to China? Traceless Zhengsedao: If we don't return to the country, our descendants will all be slaves to the country, and they will all be discriminated against in a foreign land, we must rise up and fight! Nan Xu said slowly: Childe, I am willing to help you this time, but after the matter is completed, please give me a grace. Wuxian said: Su'er, after the matter is completed, I will marry you as a concubine, I ...... I am the crown prince of Chaoyang Kingdom, I will make you the queen, I promise a thousand gold! Never break your word! Nan Su sneered: Has Childe ever respected my opinion? I don't like to be the queen's wife, I'll help you this time, from now on, please give me freedom, you and I marry men and women, each has nothing to do with it, how about it? Traceless froze for a moment, looking at Nanxu as if he didn't believe it. He said: Su'er, but I like you, I can't do without you in my life! Nan Xu said in a firm tone: Childe, I repeat, after the matter is completed, you give me real freedom! If you can't, I'd rather be a broken jade, not a tile! A thick struggle swept through Traceless's eyes, and he pleaded in a low voice: Su'er, freedom is so important? If you follow me, shall I give you full freedom? Nan Su couldn't bear it, and said: Life is precious, love is more expensive, if it is for freedom, both can be thrown! Childe was silent for a while, and finally said with difficulty: Okay, I promise you, after the deed, I will give you freedom. Nan Su replied coldly: Xie Gongzi is complete. She bowed and slowly returned to her room. The next day, Nan Xu came to the palace of Xishu Kingdom with no trace, the hall was full of people, on the first layer of jade steps, the king and queen of Xishu were sitting, on the second layer of jade steps, the prince and the princess of Xishu Kingdom were sitting, and on the third layer of jade steps, there were the prince and the prince of Zishu Kingdom, the prince of Dongli Country, and the civil and military ministers were sitting below. Traceless just spent money to buy a Beijing official, so he sat at the bottom. Everyone offered birthday gifts, and without a trace also came to the emperor, said a birthday message to the emperor, and finally pointed to Nanxu and said: Your Majesty, the minister has a little sister, and her appearance and talent are passable, if the emperor does not dislike it, the minister is willing to serve the emperor to serve you. King Xishu lowered his eyes and looked at Nan Xu, his heart suddenly jumped half a beat, he has lived for most of his life, and he has seen countless beauties, but Nan Xu in front of him was amazed at the time, her facial features are extremely sweet, her body is graceful, and the whole person is as delicate as the flower of spring dawn, and as cute as a willow supporting the wind. He was about to say yes, and he didn't want the queen to intervene: those who want to serve my king of Xishu must not only have a proud appearance, but also have extraordinary talents, and must be loyal as a courtier. I wonder what kind of talent this woman will have? The emperor said: The time has come, the birthday banquet begins, the banquet will be held first, and then the secretaries will perform the program. After the words fell, the delicacies were served like water, the musicians began to play festive music, the emperor first said some words of thanks, and then the program carefully prepared by everyone. This time, the queen named Nan Xu to perform first. Nan Su knew that this was the queen's provocation, and she also knew that at this time, the arrow had to be sent. She danced a flying dance with the festive music, her flapy sleeves flew, the complicated skirt bloomed like flowers, the delicate little face was full of longing for the future, a pair of Danfeng eyes seemed to have thousands of stars twinkling, the thin waist was not full of a hand, and the crisp breasts that were about to come out were exciting, and the eyes of thousands of people in the audience were tightly attached to her body, all of whom were overwhelmed by her stunning face and beautiful dancing! The emperor is not a person who covets beauty, but at this time, he seems to have returned to his youth, looking at his beloved, his blood is boiling, and he can't wait to take the beauty in his arms and pet her. After the dance, the hall remembered thunderous applause! When the queen saw the emperor's obsessive gaze, she became more and more jealous. She held back the anger in her heart and said: This dance is really good, much better than the music girls in the palace. It's just that I don't know if the girl can write poems? What she said was to compare Nan Su with Le Ji, which obviously meant contempt. Nan Su is neither humble nor arrogant and said: Nan Xu is not talented, I am willing to write a poem on the spot, and ask the queen to propose. Seeing that she dared to challenge herself, the queen decided to embarrass her. She pointed to a thrush bird in the cage in the temple and said, "How about the theme of the thrush?" Nan Xu said: Okay! She thought quickly in her mind, thought of a poem by Ouyang Xiu, and then read:
Hundreds of thousands of voices move at will,
Mountain flowers, red and purple trees, high and low.
Knowing that the lock listens to the golden cage,
Not as free as crying in the woods. The emperor praised: Good poems, good poems! The queen couldn't help her, so she asked another question: Let's write another poem with the emperor as the theme. Everyone sweated for Nan Su, but Nan Su immediately responded. Quickly collecting in her mind, she sadly found that she didn't remember any poems praising the emperor, could it be that the chain was going to fall off at the critical moment? No, she will fight a song randomly, she glanced at the emperor, remembered that the son said that he was brave and good at fighting, so she opened her mouth and said:
Pull out the mountains and cover the world,
Famous all over the world,
The heart is merciful and merciful to the world,
The situation is good in all directions!
Nan Xu barely made up a song, she glanced at the emperor with a weak heart, afraid that if she touched his taboo, she would be furious, but when she saw that the emperor looked excited and inexplicable, she said three words in a row: Okay! Good! Good! actually stood up from his seat, looked at Nan Xu with burning eyes, and there was endless appreciation in his eyes! The queen quietly ripped off the emperor's dragon robe, and the emperor consciously lost his temper and sat down elegantly. The queen smiled: I didn't expect Mo Gongzi's sister to be so talented, this palace wants to listen to a song of mountains and flowing water, I don't know if the last girl is willing to play for this palace? Nan Su spoke softly: It is an honor for the courtiers to be able to play for the mother. Immediately, a palace maid put the piano on the jade case and asked Nan Xu to play. Nanxu elegantly walked to the piano case and sat down, his fingers moved lightly, the low sound of the piano flowed in the hall, everyone listened attentively, the sound of the piano was like a trickle, gradually flowing into the sea, beautiful and calm, gradually, the piano sound was high, as if a section of the mountain climbed a very high mountain, overlooking the world, forgetting the troubles of the world only the blue sky and white clouds, and the birds flying freely. The world is vast, full of joy, flying waterfalls, free and easy, small river water, happy and happy, infinitely beautiful, happy in the heart. Everyone is immersed in a beautiful artistic conception, the soul is purified, and there is no more earthly hustle and bustle. After playing the last note, Nan Xu got up and stood in the main hall and bent down to thank him: Nan Xu is ugly. The crowd came back to their senses from the sound of the piano, and the cheers continued. This time, even the queen couldn't help but sigh: It's so good! This is the real mountain and flowing water. The girl is tired, too, so sit down and eat something. Nan Su thanked him, and walked to the side of the son and sat down. At this time, a palace maid came over and poured a cup of tea intimately, and Nan Xu was indeed thirsty, so she covered her face with her sleeve and drank it.
