Chapter 182: King Guangling
The sun was rising, singing and dancing for two rounds, the occasional acquaintance of the officials exchanged heads and gossip, the palace maids carried exquisite dishes through the banquet, and the princes and nobles sat behind the low table with their respective families, looking at each other.
Occasionally, teenagers and girls look at each other and smile shyly......
Chen Chao sat casually behind the low table, holding a wine glass in his hand.
Observe the various states of life.
On the queen mother's seat, Song Qingwan took the sugar treasure to the side of the desk, and the queen mother stretched out her fingers to tease her daughter, and her eyebrows were soon full of smiles.
In the center of the Xingqing Palace, next to a red lacquer column, the generals of the Changsheng Army who were enshrined today puffed out their eyes and poured liquor into their throats.
Among these people, only Murong Chong was quite calm, sitting upright, listening to the nonsense in the mouths of the rough men around him, sometimes tilting his head, squinting at his sister Murong Yue's seat in the distance.
Although it was far away, he could still see the appearance of the one-year-old girl at a glance.
Resemble.
It's so similar!
After drinking a bowl of wine, Murong Chong's brows furrowed deeper and deeper.
An ominous premonition hung over me.
But don't think so......
Suddenly, a thick arm came over, and Xu Biao came over to toast, already in a half-drunk posture, with black and red cheeks on both sides: ", after we are done, let's go to the general and ask him face to face, and ask him if he is a traitor?" ”
Murong Chong's face sank, and he hit hard: "Nonsense, you give Lao Tzu a little honesty, and a few of you, don't drink, how many pairs of eyes are staring at our Changsheng army, do you want others to grab our handle?" If you dare to drink again, talk nonsense, don't blame Lao Tzu for breaking your third leg regardless of brotherly affection......"
"I'm depressed in my heart, woo~ lend me my shoulder, let me cry......"
"Shut up and hold your ...... Someone is coming, pay attention, get up quickly......"
……
"King Guangling, here!"
The old eunuch outside the Xingqing Palace, pulling the throat like a duck, waved the dust in his hand, put it on the crook of his arm, and shouted.
The hall is full of guests, and it is time to get up and stand up and salute to greet them.
After a while, a gorgeously dressed young man strode in from the main entrance, followed by a singer with a pipa in her arms.
When they reached the center of the main hall, they were to bow down.
But before the young man saluted Emperor Yongxing, Emperor Yongxing waved his hand casually:
"Okay, there's no need to be polite at today's banquet, you're late, find a seat for yourself."
"Brother Xie Huang."
Chen Chao held the wine glass in his hand and looked curiously at the young man in the center of the hall.
As far as the Chen Dynasty knew, the descendants of the Li family withered, and although the first emperor had many concubines, only three princes, the second prince, the ninth prince and the eleventh prince remained.
The Nine Emperors are now the Yongxing Emperor.
And the young man in front of him is the youngest prince of the first emperor, the eleventh prince of Guangling, King Li Wei!
He is the younger brother of Emperor Yongxing, and his biological mother is Empress Dowager Yang, and the two brothers grew up together.
Looking at his age, Li Wei is only fifteen or sixteen years old, and he has a good skin.
If nothing else, the fate of this King of Guangling will be the same as that of Li Yu, the King of Yan, who is a free king.
But.
The premise of all this must be based on the fact that Li Yu has no bad intentions, especially that he can't learn from his uncle Li Yu.
While Chen Chao looked at King Guangling curiously, King Guangling inadvertently glanced at Chen Dynasty.
Although the boy's movements are extremely secretive.
But Chen Chao was still keenly aware of it, and his body sat up slightly straighter, and his brows furrowed slightly.
A bad premonition arises.
This young man has bad intentions......
Before Chen Chao could think about it.
I saw that Li Wei, the king of Guangling, straightened his waist, raised his head, looked at Emperor Yongxing behind the dragon case, and said slowly: "Today's banquet, the younger brother is late, it really shouldn't be." ”
"But the younger brother is late, there is a reason for it, and I hope that the royal brother will forgive his sins."
"Oh?"
Emperor Yongxing suddenly came to his senses and took a bite of food.
Put down the chopsticks and said with a smile:
"Tell me, I want to listen, what can you say out of your mouth? If you can't satisfy me and Zhongqing, you will be punished with three cups. ”
"Yes."
Li Wei gave up his hand slightly.
Many courtiers also nodded.
Today's reward for meritorious heroes, except for those who are sick at home and Li Yu, the king of Yan who is imprisoned in the mansion, all the officials and princes and nobles are all present, and all of them are absent.
Li Wei, the king of Guangling, did not take leave, and should have arrived on time, but he missed the ceremony of rewarding the meritorious heroes, and even arrived a long time after the banquet began, and if there was no reasonable explanation, he would indeed have to punish himself with three cups.
"Back to the royal brother, the imperial brother knows the younger brother, the younger brother does not love power, the second does not love treasures, only likes to talk about the wind and moon with the beautiful woman, half a month ago, the younger brother heard a song by chance in the folk, and the first time I heard it, I only felt that it was a rare masterpiece in a hundred years."
"The younger brother sighed a lot, couldn't sleep all night, found this song, and listened to it several times a day, and today I was late because I was immersed in this song and couldn't extricate myself, and I hope that the imperial brother will forgive his sins."
After listening to this, Emperor Yongxing frowned slightly with a pair of sword eyebrows, and leaned forward:
"What kind of tune can make you like this?"
The singer stepped forward, and after Ying Ying saluted, Li Wei said: "Brother Chen, let people play ......"
The courtier was stunned.
Reflect on it carefully and talk to each other to make sure you heard correctly.
The famous King Guangling missed the time to enter the palace to participate in the ceremony just because of a song.
Isn't it child's play?
And he also said that he had to listen to it several times a day, and he couldn't extricate himself...... What kind of song is it, so magical?
Flew all the souls of Li Jiaogou?
Whispers rang out in the hall, apparently curious about the song.
Emperor Yongxing waved his hand and asked the palace dancers on the field to step down, leaving only the singer brought into the palace by Li Wei.
A round stool was brought and seating, and everyone pricked up their ears to listen.
The singer sat down, took the pipa into her arms, and began to play.
A flick of your fingers.
The pipa sounded.
Dial again, and the song sounds:
"Green bricks with tile paint
White horses step on new mud
Mountain flowers, banana leaves, twilight bushes dyed red scarves
The eaves are sprinkled with raindrops
Smoke curled up
Tossing and turning as if you are where
Seek and seek
Cheerless~
……”
Suddenly.
A pair of eyebrows suddenly raised, fingers clapping in agreement, and their faces were full of enjoyment and incredible expressions.
The eyes of countless people were firmly fixed on the singer who was performing on the field.
In the main hall, the fallen leaves were silent, and the guests held their breath, for fear of disturbing this wonderful song, only the singer's tactful singing voice on the field, and Wu Nong's soft words that were crisp to the bones, like a kitten tickling on the chest, made people's minds not know where to fly.
More people have found some treasure.
This song!
The beauty exploded......
As soon as this song came out, Emperor Yongxing, the emperor of Daji, was obviously stunned for a moment, squinted his eyes slightly and nodded slightly, obviously a little surprised.
After a moment, he raised his eyes to observe the expressions of his ministers.
Some stroked their beards in admiration, some chattered silently, and more were fascinated......
In short, everyone listened with a state of great enjoyment.
There is only one person who is different, and that is Chen Chao.
Chen Chao pinched the wine glass with his fingers, put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed it gently, his eyes slightly closed.
It seemed like he was listening, but in fact he wasn't happy with the tune.
Hehe......
It's a joke.
Who is this woman? Sure enough, it's not as good as my red beans......
