Chapter 80: Congratulatory Gifts
Just as he was about to start, Murong Heng suddenly spoke.
"Wait."
He turned his head slowly, and with a faint glance of his amber eyes, he looked at Su Tianling in the hall.
"Su Tianling, you have been practicing dance for many years, why don't you step forward and dance with us."
Su Tianling was stunned.
Then there was some displeasure.
Why do you want her to dance?
She's not a dancing girl!
"Your Royal Highness King Ling, I am not good at dancing, if I want to dance with you, the dancing girls are much better than me, wouldn't it be more suitable."
"Letting you dance with you is not to let you show how good your dancing skills are, but to fancy your respect for the queen mother, what is your intention to insist on shirking?"
Su Sheng raised his eyes.
"King Ling, what you say is really ridiculous, Tianling has been in the palace all year round, and he is extremely close to the queen's mother, a piece of filial piety, and the sky can learn from it!"
"In that case, it's not a problem to dance for the queen mother, isn't it?"
Murong Heng's tone was still light.
But there is no intention of regression.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit deadlocked, Emperor Renjing opened his mouth.
"Su Tianling, today is the queen's birthday, so you will offer a dance to show your sincerity."
Su Tianling was about to reply, but was interrupted by Su Sheng.
"Tianling is not good at learning arts, it is difficult to get into the elegant hall, if the emperor likes to see it, the minister will personally select a group of Western Regions dancing girls to come and dance for you."
These words make it clear that they don't give face to Emperor Renjing.
The ministers were all shocked, and they didn't dare to come out in an instant.
Emperor Renjing's face also sank significantly.
However, Su Sheng didn't seem to see it, his slender fingers held the wine glass, and slowly drank the elixir and jade liquid in the cup.
Seeing that the situation on the field was not right, Su Liuer hurriedly said.
"Tianling, this palace hasn't seen you dancing for a long time, today this palace is happy, you come up to dance for King Ling and Shen Ruoxi."
Hearing this, Su Tianling didn't move, but just subconsciously looked at Su Sheng next to him.
There was a pause on his angular face.
Then put the glass down.
"Since the emperor and the queen have spoken, Tianling, you can help the birthday banquet today."
Su Tianling could only get up.
"The courtiers take orders."
Looking at Su Sheng's figure, Emperor Renjing lowered his voice and seemed to be a little teasing.
"Prince Rong and the emperor are really sisters and brothers, and my words are not as effective as your sister's words."
Su Liu'er's heart tightened.
"The emperor forgives the sin, Prince Rong has been favored by Rong since he was a child, and he doesn't know what to do, but he is absolutely loyal to the emperor, and the concubines can swear to the sky."
"I just mentioned it casually, the queen doesn't need to be afraid."
Emperor Renjing's eyes were gentle.
It's just that the hand that was holding her fingers slowly released and put it back to her side.
In the temple.
Murong Heng took the guqin, turned his head slightly, and his gaze fell on Shen Ruoxi's face.
The two looked at each other.
Didn't say anything, but there was a wordless tacit understanding flowing.
Shen Ruoxi sat down, picked up the pipa, and pressed the strings with her jade-like fingers.
In the eyes of everyone, whether curious or expectant, the strings of the lute were plucked.
It seems to be a slight movement, but the momentum is like a rainbow.
Everyone couldn't help but be shocked.
The sound of music sounded slowly, and then gradually spread like a tide, filling the entire hall.
At the same time, a melodious guqin sound sounded.
Murong Heng's slender jade-like fingers flicked the strings, and his handsome face was dyed with a layer of fierceness.
Just sitting there, it's a sight to behold.
The sound of the piano is melodious but powerful, and it blends perfectly into the pipa music.
The two are soft and rigid, perfectly blended.
At the climax, like a silver bottle bursting, the pearl and jade splashed, shocking everyone present.
Su Tianling gritted his teeth and danced to the rhythm of the two.
But the music was quite difficult, and she could only barely keep up.
By the end of the day, the two ended perfectly, but she almost didn't stand on her feet.
The hall slowed down for a few seconds.
Then, it was Emperor Renjing's joyful admiration.
"Good!"
He clapped his hands and laughed.
"I haven't heard such an exciting and atmospheric tune for a long time, and I played it really well, compared to Lin Xiuyi's pipa music just now, I didn't lose at all, or even better! Shen Ruoxi, I didn't expect you to hide it deeply! ”
Shen Ruoxi showed a modest smile.
"The emperor praised falsely, and the courtiers were just stained with the light of His Royal Highness King Ling."
Murong Heng said.
"Miss Shen's pipa is a must, and this king is just the icing on the cake."
The appearance of the two sympathizing with each other made the cold night teeth sour standing aside.
Yo.
Before you get married, you show it?
Su Liuer asked.
"What's this song called?"
Shen Ruo cherishes his blessings.
"Back to the queen's mother, this song is called "Mountains and Rivers", which praises the magnificent rivers and mountains and the beautiful scenery of the prosperous world, and the courtiers play this song, may the country and the mountains be prosperous, the country and the people will be safe, and the emperor will always enjoy good fortune and be prosperous for a hundred years!"
This performance and rhetoric, compared with Lin Xiuyi's "Peony" earlier, instantly went to a new pattern.
The high and low are immediate.
Lin Xiuyi sat on the side, her complexion, which had just eased a little, became a little ugly at the moment.
She thought that Shen Ruoxi was making a fool of herself when she went up.
I don't want to be stepped on in the end, but I am the one who is stepping on myself.
Looking at the people standing together in the hall, Lin Xiuyi wrung the handkerchief in her hand.
This woman is here to make her unhappy today!
"Well, well said!"
After listening to Shen Ruoxi's words, Emperor Renjing was the first to applaud.
The ministers came back to their senses one after another, and immediately followed him, stroking their palms and admiring.
All of a sudden, different eyes fell on Shen Ruoxi's body.
In the past, Shen Ruoxi had a beautiful appearance, but his reputation was not very good.
Today's amazing song instantly changed the opinion of many people in the DPRK and China.
Su Liu'er was also in a very happy mood.
"'Beijing Shuangshu' is really worthy of its reputation, Shen Ruoxi, your performance in this palace today is very surprising, reward, reward!"
Su Liuer rewarded Shen Ruoxi and Murong Heng with agate pearls and jades respectively.
also rewarded Su Tianling with Yunjin.
Su Tianling took it with a somewhat sneering face, and was about to go down, but met Murong Heng's cool gaze.
She was a little stunned.
"Cousin Lingwang?"
Murong Heng suddenly spoke.
"It's the king's fault."
Su Tianling was stunned.
Not only Su Tianling, but the others in the hall were even more stunned.
But I heard Murong Heng say again.
"This king thought that you were humble when you said that you were not good at learning, but I didn't expect it to be the truth, and on this occasion in the future, this king will definitely not let you perform."
Su Tianling's face froze instantly, and then he was very embarrassed!
If she were someone else, she would have taught her a lesson.
It's Murong Heng.
She didn't dare to mess with.
Su Tianling pursed her lips and walked down with an ugly face.
Murong Heng and Shen Ruoxi also returned to their respective positions.
More than half of the feast.
Emperor Renjing was so happy that he wrote a poem on the spot, and then gave Su Liuer an extremely rare blue pearl necklace.
The pearls are full and shiny.
In the daylight, it glows a faint blue.
"Queen, this is specially found from the South China Sea, given to you, it is said that this blue pearl, ten years rare one, the queen is gentle and generous, graceful and dignified, I think, the pearl can best match you!"
"Concubine, thank you to the emperor."
Su Liu'er took it with both hands with a smile.
Emperor Renjing started, and everyone below also sent their congratulatory gifts.
Murong Xiu sent the relics of the monks who had opened the light, Murong Yao sent the extinct danqing that Su Liu'er couldn't find for a long time, and Murong Yu sent a valuable agate.
After the congratulatory gifts were presented, Prince Rong put the wine glass on the table and stepped forward.
"Queen Mother, in order to congratulate you on your birthday, the minister also brought gifts, please take a look."
With that, he stretched out his hand and gestured.
A few people immediately came in from outside the hall, carrying a huge gift, and slowly moved towards the hall.
The gift is covered with a piece of red cloth sewn with gold thread, which is very mysterious.
Su Liuer said with a smile.
"What is this?"
"Queen Mother, please look!"
Su Sheng stretched out his hand and lifted the red cloth.
In an instant, a two-meter-high jade tree appeared in front of everyone.
The branches of the best jadeite are adorned with red pearls, and any one of them is a rare treasure and is worth a fortune.
The dazzling brilliance suddenly overshadowed the other congratulatory gifts in the hall.
The crowd was stunned.
After a brief period of amazement, they were silenced.
Shen Ruoxi sat aside, her eyes flashing.
It's a good gift, but it's gone.
The blue pearl sent by Emperor Renjing is in front, so the congratulatory gifts sent by others are cautious, not only to appear sincere, but also not to overpower the limelight of Emperor Renjing.
This is the way to be a minister.
However, Su Sheng's gift far crushed Emperor Renjing's congratulatory gift.
To put it more seriously, he didn't put Emperor Renjing in his eyes, and he was despising the imperial power.
She sighed in her heart.
It is said that Prince Rong is proud of himself, and there is no one in his eyes.
A picture is worth a thousand words.
Emperor Renjing's face was really ugly.
He squinted and leaned back in the dragon chair.
stared at the jade tree below, and didn't say anything for a long time.
Instead, he turned his head and looked at Su Liuer.
"What does the queen think, what does this gift think?"
Su Liu'er lowered her eyes.
"Gifts are naturally rare treasures, but the concubines have always been used to being elegant, and Prince Rong's gifts are too luxurious, and the concubines feel that it is more appropriate to change to something else."
Su Sheng's narrow eyes looked wild.
"The queen is the lord of the harem, and the mother of the world, no matter how luxurious the gift, she can accept it."
Hearing this, Emperor Renjing smiled slightly.
The smile does not reach the bottom of the eye.
"Since Prince Rong said so, then the queen will accept it, the queen has always been used to being elegant, and occasionally there is a luxurious ornament in the palace, which is also very pleasing to the eye."
Su Liuer had no choice but to agree.
"The concubine knows."
Su Sheng hooked his lips.
"Congratulations to the queen mother, Chitose Chitose, Chitose!"
With that, he waved his sleeves and sat back in his seat.
After Su Sheng gave the gift, no one dared to step forward for a while.
At this time, he saw Murong Heng slowly get up and walked to the hall.
"The congratulatory gift of the son-in-law has also arrived, please take a look at the queen mother."
With that, he gestured.
Leng Ye stepped forward and handed over a wooden box.
It opens, and inside is a flower.
This flower is very bizarre, with only a few flowers.
One flower with four petals.
However, the color of each petal is completely different, which is red, white, yellow, and purple.
Everyone's eyes were instantly attracted.
Emperor Renjing was also very surprised.
"King Ling, what kind of flower is this?"
Murong Heng spoke slowly.
"This is called 'Jin Se', the vitality is particularly tenacious, but it is very rare, only the border of the north of Vietnam has, the son knows that the queen mother likes to plant flowers to worship the Buddha, so he rushed thousands of miles, let people send this flower over, I hope the queen mother likes."
After his words fell, the atmosphere in the hall was a little unusual.
Especially Su Sheng.
His face was stunned, and his expression on his cold face turned cold.
As everyone knows, the north of Vietnam is Su Sheng's world.
Since the first emperor, the Su family army has been rooted in northern Vietnam, and although the emperor has a military seal in his hand, he can't mobilize it at all.
In the north of Vietnam, Su Sheng has absolute control.
But now, Murong Heng said that his people had brought the flower from the north of Vietnam.
These words are undoubtedly telling Su Sheng that where he is in control, he can probe for things.
For Su Sheng, it is a great deterrent and provocation!
