Chapter 262: The Change of the Island of Forgotten Worries (26) The sad court musician
On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the lanterns made by themselves are hung at the door of every household, there are eagle wings pattern, there is a beckoning boy pattern, and there are seven immortals descending to earth pattern, which is particularly beautiful and exquisite under the light of the shadow and shadow.
Many shops on the street are even smarter to hold lantern quizzes at their doors, with rich prizes and a noisy atmosphere, constantly ushering in wave after wave of people.
"Bang...... Bang ......" clusters of fireworks rushed into the sky, sprinkling the sky full of starlight. The streets are bustling with people. There are those who perform lion dances, those who twist Yangge, those who step on stilts, and those who perform all kinds of spells...... People celebrate this special occasion in different ways.
In order to make the clan more integrated into the human culture, the previous leader of the Eagle Clan had ordered all the clansmen at the beginning of his reign, hoping that the traditions and customs of the clan could be compared with human habits.
Over the years, the people of the Eagle Clan have gone from being unaccustomed to it at the beginning, to gradually integrating and enjoying it now.
Although the current Flying Eagle King usurped the throne, in order to reflect his pro-people style, he adopted a conservative treatment of the customs and cultural habits of the older generation without attacking, eradicating, or advocating, so as to win more sincere support from the people.
In front of the palace gate, the same lanterns and candles are brilliant. Carriages carrying important ministers and relatives come and go in an endless stream between the palace gate and the second gate.
All relatives, regardless of rank, need to get off at the second gate, wait for the eagle guard in charge of security patrol to check the invitation card and identity, and then slowly walk to the Imperial Garden banquet hall.
This time, the Lantern Festival banquet is still the custom of previous years, and it is a large open-air venue that can accommodate 500 people in the imperial garden.
The venue is surrounded by bright and dazzling ribbons like fire, which are matched with tablecloths of the same color, which looks particularly festive and eye-catching.
In the corner of the hall, behind the main seat, there are all kinds of exotic flowers and plants, bright flowers and fragrant fragrances, as if the entire banquet hall is shrouded in a sea of gorgeous flowers.
When the time was approaching the start of the banquet, there were already many well-dressed ministers and their relatives who were sitting around the banquet and chatting about family life while waiting for the beginning of the banquet according to the arrangement of the leading attendants.
"The king has arrived!"
"The red concubine has arrived!"
"Concubine Qing Niangniang has arrived!"
With the loud voice of the attendants, the flying eagle took the lead, and the glamorous and enchanting red concubine and the dignified and generous green concubine also followed as in the past. Behind the two of them are the concubines of the various palaces who were named by Feiying to participate, and they are Yan Thin and Fat, each leading the way.
All the people present, regardless of rank, knelt down and bowed their heads to the squire's singing. It wasn't until Feiying said a faint word of abstinence that he respectfully got up and re-seated.
The Flying Eagle's seat was at the top of the throne, and on the left and right sides of his throne sat the red and green concubines. Concubine Bai has always lived in the harem because of her ill health, and has never attended any banquets and celebrations, so the ministers and relatives are full of curiosity and doubts about this special but low-key concubine Niangniang.
The Lantern Festival feast begins with a performance by a court musician. After the Flying Eagle ascended to the throne, because the Flying Eagle likes to appreciate the performance of humans, the Eagle Clan demon cultivators who lurked in the human world were arranged to collect captured human musicians in various places in order to vote for the preferences of the new king.
And the adults of the General Affairs Mansion, who are good at drilling, of course, put the king's hobby in the first place, which was also the first choice for the opening of the program in previous years.
The aftermath hung around the beam for three days, and it was suspected that the sky was falling.
The beautiful melody constantly reverberated in the quiet space, and all the guests, from the flying eagle to the maid serving wine, listened with bated breath to this moving music that only the fairy world can have.
Most of these musicians were once famous in the human world, and they were only resounding all over the country because of their extraordinary talent in music, and the result was that they became missing people inexplicably.
An ordinary-looking, short-looking little attendant, holding a tray with a wine jug and glass, stood quietly beside a middle-aged steward, staring at several young and middle-aged men in brocade clothes who were playing on the stage.
Although those musicians are so high-spirited and indescribably proud in others. But for some reason, leisurely tasted a bit of unspeakable sadness and sadness from their cheerful and joyful performances.
What a heart-wrenching pain that was......
It is like the pain of being forced to leave the warm nest of the bird's nest when it is swallowed by a passing wild cat, and it is like a child being abducted by bad people, secretly hiding in a place where no one can see it, crying and missing the intestines of his parents and family. In fact, it was the musicians who were feeling themselves
Leisurely tears dripped silently on the placket of her clothes, and she had to quickly lower her head, not wanting others to see her out-of-control emotions.
A white handkerchief was handed over to the side, and I saw that the English letters "xml" were embroidered with golden silk thread on the corner of the handkerchief, which was the initials in Xiao Moling's name.
"Thank you!" Knowing that the tall young man standing in front of him was his senior brother, he forcibly held back the excitement in his heart and silently took the white silk handkerchief.
The tall attendant who followed the senior brother in disguise nodded imperceptibly at her, and inadvertently disappeared into the crowd.
You know that this evening is full of forces from all sides, and the situation is changing rapidly and dangerous. Senior brother, they must have other arrangements to be busy! Leisurely cheered himself up silently in his heart, convincing himself not to worry too much about them for his senior brother.
With the intelligence and wit of Senior Brother, Tiancheng, and Senior Brother Mo, as well as Uncle Yingqi's familiarity with the environment and their understanding of the opponent's tactics, it is not as difficult to win this battle tonight as imagined.
The musicians held their instruments in their hands and retreated silently amid thunderous applause, which added a bit of unearthly temperament to them.
Looking at the retreating figures, a little bleak reflected in the night, his leisurely eyes became darker.
If I could, I would definitely find a way to bring all the human monks who had been stranded on Eagle Cliff back inland!
Leisurely made up his mind secretly. Perhaps, this is also the meaning of God inadvertently letting her fall into this Falling Eagle Cliff. Helping those in need, no matter how difficult it is, has a clear conscience as long as you do your best.
Next, the concubines of the palace and the relatives of the ministers performed on stage. In order to win the favor of the king and make himself stand out among all the guests, the beauties simply tried their best to win the appreciation and favor of the king.
