Chapter 35: Singing a double reed

Previous Chapter

The river of fate never stops, the boat of the story floats leisurely in it, and Xie Yuanqian is just a person who pushes the boat along the river.

Wu Yuzi, the hall master of the Yuyin Palace, is not as simple as he seems on the surface, the Wu family can sit firmly in the Ministry of Rites for one hundred and fifty years, relying on more than just his brother's cultivation,

Resourcefulness is often more powerful in the fight of intrigue.

According to Wu Yuzi's instructions last night, Xie Yuanqian was arranged to rest in the guest room of the Yuyin Hall after he woke up.

When Wu Yuzi woke up, he still had a little hangover and a headache. He took out the prepared sobering pill and took it down, and suddenly the whole person was sober.

He muttered in his heart, how can Mr. Shi Kuang's wine be more energetic than Xianmanlou's drunken immortal wine, now think about it and have a little aftertaste, oops, small things, small things, today's matter is very important, the wealth of the Wu family depends on you, Shi Kuang, don't let me down.

Last night's drunkenness seems to be a tacit play.

Wu Yuzi quickly started to meet Princess Yutong, there is a letter from the Ministry of Etiquette, the name of Zhengyi, it is not difficult for him to meet Princess Yutong.

The next story developed smoothly beyond Xie Yuanqian's imagination.

Stepping into the Yuguo Palace, this six-hundred-year-old magnificent building exerted a heavy pressure on him from all sides, this is real pressure, because the palace is protected by a formation, and the palace people holding the token lead the way, Wu Yuzi followed closely, and Xie Yuanqian had to follow quickly.

The trail of the palace is paved with white jade slabs, and the royal style can be seen everywhere on the way to the side hall of Fengao Palace.

Needless to say, the carved fence and jade masonry, the green tile and vermilion eaves, and the glazed nanmu door of the side hall alone also surprised Xie Yuanqian.

It's a security gate!

The palace maid who led the way embedded the token on the door, and then entered the door to report after the identification and authentication was successful. When Wu Yuzi and Xie Yuan sneaked in the door, they also had to take off the storage device for routine inspection.

Xie Yuanqian casually asked about the door, and Wu Yuzi replied casually that it was just a strange skill of the formation.

Fortunately, Xie Yuanqian acted cautiously, and in addition to the tokens of Yingxue and Hanmei, which were the props for composing music and music, there were no flaws in the storage bag.

However, the mystery of this world is beyond Xie Yuanqian's expectations, according to his novel experience, the palace should be very similar to the ancient style, but this kind of security gate can be said to be the future technology.

It was the end of autumn and the wind was cold.

Xie Yuanqian's cultivation is not high, he can't control the warmth and coldness, and he is wearing a low-level hexagram robe, so he can't help but tighten his collar.

Fortunately, the efficiency of the palace is okay, otherwise he would have to live in Bengbu.

Entering the hall, the golden crystal lamps illuminated the room, and on his side were six ten-meter-long fire feather crane carved flame roof beam stone pillars, Xie Yuanqian clearly felt that there were formations between these stone pillars when he passed by, and they emitted a gentle heat to heat this palace.

I'll go! Radiator Promax!

The level of development of the formation in this world is no less than that of the previous life.

The golden screen is painted with two cranes flying together, these lifelike cranes know at a glance that they are paintings of famous teachers, although the bead curtain of white jade is set aside, but the jewels in it are not reduced by half, the incense burner of the purple gas is fragrant, exuding the fragrance of the musk deer, the seat of Nanmu is covered with soft animal skin, and there is a fluffy pillow, if it is a visionary, you can recognize at a glance that this is the skin of the black mountain bear of the Zhuji demon beast.

Luxury, luxury, worthy of the emperor's home.

Princess Yutong, who was dressed in luxurious palace clothes, slowly sat on the main seat, and the palace maids on both sides lowered the curtain with golden branches.

Wu Yuzi bowed first, bent down and said respectfully,

"Your Majesty Wu Yuzi See Your Highness!"

Xie Yuanqian was shocked in his heart, the main lord has arrived, this is Princess Yutong.

And he bowed to her in the same way,

"Your Majesty is looking to see the princess!"

Princess Yutong's red lips were lightly opened, showing the royal demeanor to the fullest,

"The two Qing family are exempt from courtesy, and Wu Shi specially invited him to see what's the matter?"

Princess Yutong once studied the etiquette of etiquette and music in the Yuyin Palace, and Wu Yuzi taught it personally, and he could still afford the title of Wushi.

Whether it is teaching the princess in person or introducing Xie Yuanqian, it is all for the Wu family to stabilize the status of their family.

Today, Wu Yuzi is also here for this.

Don't look at the uproar about this marriage, the big and small families of the Yu country can see it thoroughly - the Yu country is weak.

There is absolutely no reason for Meng Huzong to return the territory he eats, and the evil wolf who tastes the taste of meat will definitely not give up if he is not full.

In less than a hundred years, the Yu Kingdom will definitely fall into the hands of Meng Huzong.

This is the trend of the times, the Wu family, as one of the six divisions of the Yu Kingdom, is also in the catastrophe, in the case of their own strength is not strong, only by climbing the high branches of the strong, can they sit firmly at the top.

Right now, Meng Huzong is undoubtedly the tallest branch in the Yu Kingdom.

In fact, it would be more direct to please Meng Xianglong, but this Meng Xianglong does not enter the oil and salt, lives in the palace, and belittles the musical attainments of the Yuyin Palace.

Wu Yuzi had no choice but to adopt a curved plan to save the country - to curry favor with Princess Yutong.

After all, Princess Yutong is going to marry Meng Huzong, marrying a chicken and a dog and marrying a dog, this kind of marriage is also a common thing between families, and the future suzerain's wife is still very weighty.

The Wu family was able to occupy the Ministry of Rites for 150 years, relying on this kind of foresight.

Wu Yuzi did not tell him about his intention first, but first introduced Xie Yuanqian seriously.

"This Mr. Shi Kuang is my Yuyin Hall guest, Yuguo Ledao talent is incompetent, in recent years, the domestic singing of "Linjiang Immortal", "Magpie Treading Branch", "Farewell" and other fairy music are from his hands. Mr. has the heart to compose music for His Highness, but he can't think about inspiration, so I will introduce it on my behalf, hoping that His Highness will be fulfilled. ”

Oh? This made Princess Yutong ignite a trace of curiosity and hope.

Originally, she thought that Wu Yuzi came to ask for a meeting for the marriage of Zhengyi, but now it seems that he has other intentions.

actually introduced the man next to her first, she also admired these famous songs, if it weren't for the eventful time, she would have summoned this strange person who created so many fairy music.

Although I don't know what bad ideas Meng Xianglong is having, but now that the wedding has been postponed, I have to make a last stand.

It's all for the family!

Perhaps, this composer can help me.

The three people with different minds gathered in a hall, but things began to surprise everyone.

Princess Yutong praised Xie Yuanqian, and her love for talent was overflowing:

"Good! Mr. Shi Kuang has the ability to do so, so he quickly removed the bead curtain and prepared a table of refreshments! ”

Seeing that Princess Yutong valued Xie Yuanqian so much, Wu Yuzi was secretly happy in her heart, and it was done!

The bead curtain was rolled up, and Xie Yuanqian saw Princess Yutong's peerless appearance.

The golden silk thread outlines the style of the fire feather crane on the plain white and flawless skirt, the vermilion ruby is like the finishing touch on the full sphere, and the blue and white porcelain-like plump waist complements this luxurious slim palace dress.

Delicate hair accessories, capable short hair, delicate and feminine facial features, white and red complexion, and a slightly powdered face make the whole hall shine.

Although the aura of the immortal cultivation world is flourishing, and most of the immortal cultivators' appearances are at the level of handsome men and beautiful women, there is still no beauty like Princess Yutong.

Moreover, as a princess, she has the otherworldly temperament of Jindan Zhenren, which adds a bit of holiness to her stunning face.

In the previous life, the sinking fish and geese in the synonym for describing beauty, I am afraid that the shy flowers in the closed moon are not worthy of her, right?

Xie Yuanqian was stunned for a while, but he immediately realized that this was the palace, so he hurriedly pleaded guiltily,

"The princess looks like a fairy, the villain is out of proportion for a while, and I ask the princess to blame."

Princess Yutong is also very confident in her appearance, and it is normal for Xie Yuanqian to be immersed in her beauty, but he can sober up so quickly It is a few points stronger than ordinary men.

"It's okay, please don't stick to the etiquette, be sure to think about it, and give full play."

Xie Yuanqian hurriedly agreed,

"It is a privilege to be appreciated by the princess, and I will definitely work hard to live up to the princess's love."

So it's good to be famous, Xie Yuanqian's repertoire is sung throughout the country, but he has a clumsy intention, and the singers are not popular.

Now that the identity has been exposed in this palace, it has become a hot event, and all the servants want to see this genius, and even this table of refreshments is a little rich.

Wu Yuzi also understands art and knows the importance of inspiration, so many people will definitely hinder Xie Yuanqian's play, so he asked again,

"Your Highness, Mr. Shi Kuang's creation needs to be clean, and the idle people should retreat."

Princess Yutong thinks so, and she also has her own little abacus, so it is still necessary to clear the scene.

"Stand down!"

When there were only three people left in the room, Xie Yuanqian was about to start his round.

"The repertoire is like an article, it is the best talent, and I hope that the princess will not blame me, please ask the lord of Wudian to write the score for me."

Princess Yutong smiled and replied, "Of course you can, Mr. Shi Kuang, please." ”

Wu Yuzi happily agreed: "It's a great blessing to be able to write a score for Mr.!" ”

Xie Yuanqian first carefully looked at Princess Yutong's peerless beauty,

Eh, this time it is safe to look at it boldly,

Sit and watch. Stand up and look. Staring, looking left and right,

The movements of drinking tea are so elegant, why is Princess Yutong so good-looking!

Ah, is this the welfare time of another world?

said that it was welfare time, but Xie Yuanqian did not mean to be offended in his heart, his eyes were very presumptuous but very clear, as if he was looking at the exquisite exhibits in a museum.

Wu Yuzi took out the pen and paper for a long time, and the ink was almost dry, but Xie Yuanqian still walked back and forth, just looking at it and not talking about it, which made him anxious.

Princess Yutong also muttered in her heart, what's the matter with you kid? Why do you look like you're looking at objects, I've drunk two cups of tea, hurry up and say the words!

Seeing that the two of them were about to live in Bengbu, Xie Yuanqian finally spoke.

He picked up the teacup, took a sip, and moistened his throat,

Then he took seven steps in a row, walked to the center of the hall, and sang a song "Qingping Tune" that has been passed down through the ages with three key singing tones: Gong, Shang, and Jiao:

"Clouds ~ want clothes / flowers ~ want to look,

Spring breeze ~ sill/Revlon.

If it weren't for the / deer stick / see you on the mountain~,

Will meet to / Yaotai / under the moon. ”

You kid! I've been ready to use this Li Bai's "Qingping Tune" for a long time, right? Deliberately rubbing for so long, and saying that you didn't have the intention of seeing the color?!

Eh, that's a bad statement! Everyone has a love for beauty, besides, we have to force it up!

If I sing it easily, doesn't that mean I'm prepared? Mr. Shi Kuang is now playing on the spot.

I have to say that Xie Yuanqian's micro-manipulation is outstanding, and he has not disappointed them after waiting for so long, Wu Yuzi and Princess Yutong are savoring the graceful beauty of this "Qingping Tune".

As soon as Wu Yuzi heard it, he knew that this was another heirloom work, and he was secretly refreshed:

Good! It is worthy of Mr. Shi Kuang! A little shot is such a beautiful tune, and the rhetoric is also gorgeous, worthy of being a guest of my Yuyin Palace, I must leave him in the Yuyin Hall after today, please be enshrined!

Princess Yutong was also very happy:

This lyrics and song are really enough to show half of my style, and the tune is also melodious, which is really a masterpiece. It is worthy of Mr. Shi Kuang! But! I still have important things to do, but I can't afford to lose my mind to these details.

Princess Yutong asked with a puzzled face,

"Sir, this song is another masterpiece that has been around for centuries, but where are the deer sticks and yaotai? And how can you choose the words in the sentence? ”

Coincidentally, Xie Yuanqian also has the intention of throwing bricks and attracting jade.

"The villain has practiced in Luzhu Mountain, there is a pavilion in the mountain called Yaotai, I was fortunate to meet the Tailimen fairy who flew with the sword on the mountain, and the qualifications were dull and could not be immortal, so I could only yearn for it, and I remembered that His Royal Highness had also practiced in the Taili Gate, so I arranged the mountains and Yaotai in the song."

Well? Taili Gate? Princess Yutong instantly sensed the element, and she was very excited:

Very good! Mr. Shi Kuang is really a timely rain! I've got a way to break the game!

She beamed with joy and praised:

"Good! This song should be rewarded! Since Mr. yearns for it, I will be an adult, and this piece of Taili Sect's disciple order will be rewarded to you! ”

After saying that, she couldn't wait to take out her own disciple order from the storage bracelet and push it in front of Xie Yuanqian.

Before Xie Yuanqian could say anything, Wu Yuzi couldn't sit still, he was a little panicked:

Yes?! How does this work? Shi Kuang is the guest of my Yuyin Palace! It's a talent from my feather country! How do you push people out! This kid was originally an indifferent character, but he couldn't let him run away to Taili Gate.

Wu Yuzi also hurriedly took out the worship card of the Yuyin Hall and stopped:

"Mr. Shi Kuang has no intention of ascending, Taili Gate is afraid that it is not suitable for him, and the worship of my Yuyin Hall is also worthy of the disciples of Taili Gate, please take back this big gift!"

One sentence offends two people.

Xie Yuan was unhappy in his heart:

I've sweetly rejected your Feather Hall many times, and now you're using the topic to play again, right? You're doing this hard for a strong man!

Princess Yutong's heart was also on fire, but it was not easy to attack:

Wu Yuzi! Why are you so ignorant! If this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity is cut off by you, you, the hall master of the Feather Sound Palace, will also be able to do it!

After all, the wall has ears, and if she forcibly asks Xie Yuanqian to accept this token, she will definitely be discovered by the traitors in the family.

Princess Yutong bit her rosy lip, still pretending to be reasonable, and reached out to take the token back.

"If that's the case, then I'm not going to be strong."

Seeing that these two people sang and harmonized, Xie Yuanqian didn't seem to have any awareness of being regarded as a tool man, and complained in his heart:

Aren't you all listening to the opinions of the parties? Or are you designing me? Do you want to leave me in the Hall of Feathers?

Before Princess Yutong was about to take back her fate, Xie Yuan was quick and took the two tokens in his pocket.

But Princess Yutong's outstretched hand was embarrassed, didn't she deliberately put her in a dilemma!

Then he moved quickly, made a Western kneeling knight salute, and lightly placed Princess Yutong's white and tender plain hand on his palm.

This series of operations made the two stunned, and they didn't know what to say for a while.

Xie Yuanqian must have his own calculations in doing this.

He said in an impassioned tone and with a pompous expression:

"It is my honor to be rewarded by the princess, and it is too late for me to be pleased! Moreover, your noble and majestic image cannot be perfectly reflected with this short "Qingping Tune"! Allow me to pocket both of these rewards in advance, and I'll give you another song! ”

Princess Yutong thought to herself:

Yes? Is that so? You're going to do it again, so be it.

She withdrew her jade hand, which she had nowhere to place, and said by the donkey of the slope:

"Then Hongu is looking forward to Mr. shining again."

In this way, Wu Yuzi couldn't say anything more, but he still had some guilt about Xie Yuanqian in his heart:

You're so daring! Forget it all, the princess is so golden and noble, you dare to exceed the courtesy. If you annoy the princess and mess up my business, you kid will wait to put on your little shoes!

Xie Yuanqian was facing Wu Yuzi with his back at this time, so he made a small gesture to the princess before getting up.

(^_<)γ€œβ˜† Wink!

This made Princess Yutong puzzled:

??? What does that mean? Mr. Shi Kuang's eyes are itchy?

But Xie Yuanqian's next works made Princess Yutong guess his true identity.

"Scattered yellow leaves/withered branches,

Moyun / Reflecting Snow ~ / Finally sometime.

Although it is / a place where all the sounds are silent,

Proud / Hanmei ~ / Blooming. ”

Xie Yuanqian used the technique of first suppressing and then raising the crepe of a song "Qingping Tune", and deliberately changed the tone at Yingxue and Hanmei, plus the small actions in front, with the wisdom of Princess Yutong, it was easy to guess Xie Yuanqian's identity.

So there is only one "drum man" at the scene, who is he?

Wu Yuzi savored this piece carefully, but it was obvious that the music theory attainments of this song must be much inferior, and the more he tasted it, the more he felt that it could not be compared with the previous prime minister at all. Princess Yutong has to find some fault with the exquisite track before, she shouldn't be disdainful of this far from the same track, right?

He was worried that Princess Yutong would be disappointed by such a gap, so he took the lead and spoke for Xie Yuanqian:

"Wonderful! Mr. Shi Kuang borrowed things as a metaphor, comparing the princess to the proud plum blossom that can also be full of vitality in the cold winter, although this song has some fly in the ointment in the rhythm but the flaws are not concealed, it is worthy of being enshrined in my Yuyin Palace! ”

Good guy, this puts the name of the enshrinement on the table, it seems that Xie Yuanqian of the Yuyin Hall is afraid that he will not be able to escape this time.

What is Princess Yutong's reaction? Of course, three points of surprise, three points of secret joy, and four points of imminent action.

Could it be that Mr. Cheng Shi Kuang was sent by Hanmei and Yingxue!? I'll make sure first, and if his identity is correct, then I can breathe a sigh of relief for a while.

Princess Yutong didn't care about the level of the repertoire, it was important to confirm Shi Kuang's identity first, she asked with ulterior motives:

"What a pretty plum blossom, may I ask who is the withered leaves and the wind and snow? Where is the silence? ”

As soon as Wu Yuzi heard this, he knew that something was wrong, with the current situation in the Yu country, what else could it be in the place of withered leaves, wind and snow and ten thousand sounds, it must be the Yu family, if this kid told the truth, it would definitely be a bad thing.

But the evil has come out of his mouth, and he will not be able to do anything.

Xie Yuanqian's song was made in connection with Princess Yutong, and now the princess's question of shooting arrows first and then drawing targets is undoubtedly in line with his plan.

He replied fearlessly:

"The country has been robbed, internal and external troubles, and the contemptible people can only insinuate, please forgive the princess."

Wu Yuzi still cherishes his talents in the end, he once again took the lead, blamed Shi Kuang, and scolded sharply:

"Bold teacher! Dare to make a big fuss in front of the princess! How can you discuss the affairs of the government and the people of the foolishness! Don't kneel down quickly and ask for sin! "I also hope that the princess will spare his life for the sake of my Yuyin Palace!"

Princess Yutong already had a judgment in her heart:

It's a good internal and external trouble, a good insinuation, it seems that this Mr. Shi Kuang is not Yingxue's internal should also be a patriotic and sincere person, I can trust him. It's just that this Wu Yuzi is too much of a hindrance, and he has to find a way to get rid of him.

She had studied in the Yuyin Palace, and knew that the Yuyin Hall had a treasure of the town hall, which only the hall master could use. She had an idea.

"Wu Shiyan is serious, I have already said before, Mr. Shi Kuang can speak freely, my father is mainly because of a piece of music on the line to condemn him, wouldn't it be a loss of face. But since Mr. Shi Kuang is such a genius, why don't you compose another song? ”

Wu Yuzi broke out in a cold sweat at this time:

Fortunately, Yu Tong is not a bloodthirsty and brutal person like Meng Xianglong, so he gave Shi Kuang a way to live, with Shi Kuang's strength, as long as he didn't mess around like just now, this matter would be turned over like this.

Xie Yuanqian and Princess Yutong had a good understanding at this time, but in Wu Yuzi's opinion, the bad situation was a good time for them to hit it off.

Xie Yuan bowed down and thanked him:

"Thank you for the princess's magnanimity, since she is the princess Yaxing, she should be ordered by herself!"

Wu Yuzi was afraid that he would mess around, so he then asked:

"Please be careful, sir! Don't hide it anymore. ”

Princess Yutong spoke again, this time pointing the finger at Wu Yuzi:

"It's too monotonous just to listen to Mr. singing, how about asking the hall master to bring the ancient relict piano and let it play and sing?"

These words made Wu Yuzi's heart directly cold in half:

Yes? This, this, this, why did this suddenly change the hexagram? Not to mention that this primeval relict qin can only be used by the hall master, this primeval relict piano is a high-grade spiritual weapon, even if it is used by Shi Kuang, he does not have enough cultivation to urge it! I'm afraid that if he can't finish a sentence, he will die of exhaustion. Alas~ That's it, it's also self-defeating for me, the teacher will not die for his crimes, I will accept this punishment for him.

Wu Yuzi hurriedly got up and made a gesture to block the sword path for Xie Yuan:

"The primeval relict qin is the treasure of the town hall of the Yuyin Palace, and it cannot be used unless the hall master, and the lowly qin skills are far more exquisite than Mr. Shi Kuang, since the princess is flourishing, it is better to let me accompany Mr."

Princess Yutong remained silent for a while, deliberately hung him for a while, and then spoke to play:

"The hall master has a heart, so let's follow what the hall master says."

Wu Yuzi's mind was all about how to keep the teacher, and after getting the permission to play, he immediately returned to the Yuyin Hall to get the piano.

The opportunity was fleeting, Princess Yutong and Xie Yuanqian had a top priority, and they bumped into each other as soon as they opened their mouths:

"Princess/Sir, I have something to say!"

Without a third party, the two looked at each other, and the tacit understanding rose again, but things couldn't be explained.

"Princess/sir, you speak first! No! Let me start with that! ”

The two looked at each other again, more and more sure that the other party was their own person, but the more anxious they were, the more wrong they became, and they were afraid that they would crash if they spoke again.

It's better to do it, Xie Yuanqian directly took out the tokens of Yingxue and Hanmei, which they carefully prepared, and no one except the princess knew what this token represented, so Xie Yuanqian could bring it into the palace.

Seeing the token, Princess Yutong finally relaxed, and Xie Yuanqian took the opportunity to act and handed the princess the small note he had written a long time ago.

"This is the villain's aftertaste, and please appreciate it to the princess."

The wall has ears, and the words cannot be understood.

Princess Yutong carefully read Xie Yuanqian's plan, and was immediately overjoyed, and also ignited a trace of curiosity about Shi Kuang.

This Mr. Shi Kuang is really a man of God! However, the mere qi practitioner can not only contact Hanmei Yingxue, but also know that there are traitors within the Yu family, and the plan arranged is also seamless. I just need to act according to the plan, and the threat of Meng Hu Sect can be temporarily lifted, as long as I get out of the Yu family and find the traitor easily, then the ancestor will definitely take back his life and expel Meng Hu Sect!
