Qingchuan History

Chapter 644 Rewards
The king left his seat at the banquet, went down the jade steps, and walked up to a musician and stretched out his hand, which can be said to be a very clear direction.

Everyone was a little surprised. They didn't believe that Jinshang, who abandoned the harem for Mrs. Pei, would suddenly be fascinated by musicians.

And more people responded in the next moment:
Wasn't Mrs. Pei arranging this evening banquet singing and dancing?How could such a national beauty be sent to the imperial court?

The Shangguan Banquet was too serious in Japan today, watching this scene, I suddenly regained my usual interest, and leaned slightly to Jingting's song: "The heart is too big."

Jing Tingge refers to Ruan Xueyin. "She's just such a person." I am sure that others can't take away what belongs to me, and what can be taken away is not hers——

Confidence, or transparency, or indifference, alienation, flattery, neither individually nor together can accurately describe this state.

In short, she likes Jingting Song very much.

Gu Xinglang stretched out his hand, Su Wanwan was startled.In the next moment, she hesitated and raised her hand to touch the other's palm, and her whole body trembled visibly.

"What's your name?" He asked kindly, looking extremely gentle.

The female relatives in the long case on both sides unconsciously held their breath.

"Back to Your Majesty," Su Wanwan stood up, lowering her eyes, "Young servant girl."

Gu Xinglang's brows moved slightly, he turned to look at Ji Wanling, and said with a smile, "Mrs. Tong Yu's boudoir name collides. Although there is no express rule, it's better to be cautious when serving in the palace, and change it later."

"Yes."

"There are no express regulations, and my concubines don't mind." Ji Wanling also smiled, and asked Su Wanwan, "Which word is it?"

"Mrs. Hui Yu, please hold me back."

Jing Tingge approached Shangguan Yan and smiled lowly: "I thought she was going to answer the elegy."

"Tianchangjie answered like that, I don't want my head anymore."

"Wan to keep. Tsk tsk, Linglong."

Then Ji Wanling said: "Miss Xiaowan is begging for your favor."

Su Wanwan immediately knelt down, "Slaves dare not!"

The man knelt down and let go of his hands.Gu Xinglang smiled, turned back on the jade steps, his tall figure blended into the light and shadow of the setting sun, and made all the women in the audience sigh that the back is so beautiful.

"I haven't heard much of this Liuqin before, but it's the first time I've played it long-term today. Although I feel it's new, it's hard to enjoy it." He walked slowly and gracefully, with his back to the crowd, and his voice was very clear. He Qu, what is the meaning, but, "

With only the last few steps left, he stopped talking and finished walking, and sat back in front of the case to continue:
"It's too boring to enjoy singing and dancing at the New Year's Eve banquet. This year, there are so many people, and the whole country is full of talents, so it's only lively when we have fun."

The whole of Qingchuan knows that Gu Xinglang loves to "play around", and praises him more than criticizes him, which means that he is strategizing.But listening to him face to face, let alone the first time for many family heads, even the Ji family and the Chai family who were officials in the court were surprised, and the Wen family, who had been listening to the training from the beginning to the end, felt even more panicked.

For a moment Ji Wanling also woke up, not daring to answer any more.

King Ning is good at music and dance, and recently the playing of the piano on the coast of Hezhou has also been spread to Jidu, so he is really a good candidate to answer the question. "It's rare for you to be elegant," I heard him say, "How to play?"

Gu Xinglang was full of enthusiasm, and looked at the audience, "Just now Xiaowan played, does anyone know what piece it is? I rarely listen to music, and I don't know much about it. If someone knows it, it's okay to answer." Saying this, he smiled like a The distant sky is cloudy,

"There is a reward for the correct answer."

The royal banquet can't be left in the dark, the big clans dare not speak up due to their own reasons, the clansmen are frightened by Gu Xinglang's abnormality today, and they also wait and see more, seeing that Ji Wanling has also put down the supporter, Ruan Xueyin is about to speak.

Suddenly, I heard Chun Feng's voice:
"What song is so great? I want to offer a reward for my big Qi Juncai to guess. You don't even know, Seventh Brother?"

The Tianchang Festival night banquet has always been a family banquet. Although there are many people and it is grand today, it has not changed its nature. It is not inappropriate to call Chunfeng like this.

King Ning shook his fan and laughed, "I really don't know."

"I have heard that Mr. Shangguan attacked Qingchuan guerrilla, and he has a lot of experience." Chunfeng was tired from sitting for a long time, straightened his skirt with his lips curled up, and asked casually:
"do not know either?"

Everyone knew that the Shangguan Banquet was present, but many people didn't know each other. Hearing the words, he looked around and waited for an answer. Soon he heard a man in a light scarlet brocade robe in the middle seat on the east side say loudly:

"If you go back to His Highness, the grassroots don't know."

Guerrilla.Jing Tingge secretly laughed.I can really find words.

Chunfeng continued to stretch his neck to look at the vast tables and tables in the direction of Zheng'anmen, "No one really knows? No one?"

Summer birds fly high in the evening sky.

She turned to Gu Xinglang, "I'm disappointed Brother Nine, even the experts can't answer, let alone others. You can't send out this reward."

Gu Xinglang asked Su Wanwan with a smile: "Does this song have a title?"

Ruan Xueyin pinned herself on the side concubine Yongwang from the corner of her eye.

"Back to Your Majesty," Su Wanwan replied slowly and timidly, "Yes."

"Then write it down and hand it over to you," Gu Xinglang hesitated for half a circle, "His Royal Highness Chunfeng will keep it and announce it later."

The palace people acted according to their words, and quickly served Su Wanwan to write the repertoire, finished the volume, and handed it over to Chunfeng.I heard Gu Xinglang say again:

"I don't know the name of the song, but I always feel something when I listen to it. Those who are here today, who know a little bit, are not allowed to rely on it. Write poems, write essays, write inscriptions and paint, and show off your skills. The one closest to the title of the song will be rewarded."

"If I had known that Your Majesty would set up exam questions, I should have studied them carefully just now!" King Ning stroked his palms, "I'm going to miss out on the big prize now!"

"It's a great reward indeed." Gu Xinglang laughed, "I will grant a wish to the winner. I will agree to anyone who does not want the throne."

This statement inexplicably broke into the hearts of many people in the venue.

Because the first two sentences are solemn and seductive, the last sentence is joking and scary.

So that there was no one for a while.No one dared to answer, let alone stand up, the sound of silk and bamboo, and all the talking and laughing before died in the last dusk.

"Your Majesty's jokes make everyone think that offering a reward is also a joke." In such an atmosphere, only Ruan Xueyin, who is the most favored in Qi Palace, can speak, and she laughs at Yanyan.

Gu Xinglang suddenly realized, and became more gentle and sincere, "If you say yes, you are not joking. Weddings and funerals are all included."

The four characters of marriage and funeral are also very scary.

But it hit the hearts of everyone in the field.

Wen Ju stood up.

Then Wen Shu stood up.

There seemed to be noises while King Xin was sitting at the banquet, but there was no movement of heads. After a long time, Tan lingered and said:

"My lord, Sheng'er is learning painting for the first time, he can compose a few lines of poems, and he has a little understanding of rhythm. The concubine intends to let him practice more. I wonder if he can—"

Gu Xinglang nodded, and looked at Gu Jiasheng who had stood up with his mother and concubine with a smile, "It's a great thing to be able to compete with the handsome men in the middle school at such a young age. It's a great thing to be rewarded for your bravery alone."

The royal family and the famous families like the Wen family all set an example, and there was a commotion at the banquet, and some people were willing to try their skills one after another.Shangguan Yan thought for a while, and got up to enter the competition.

How neat are the palace people serving the Tianchang Festival Banquet. During this period, tables and four treasures of the study have been arranged in the field, just behind Su Wanwan, looking at twenty or thirty sets.Satisfied, Gu Xinglang saw everyone leave the seat and enter the arena, and turned to his side:

"Wan Ling, you have excellent painting skills, and the fine brushwork of flowers and birds can be compared with the masters of the world, don't you want to try?"

Ji Wanling is a "perfect girl". Although she is not good at piano skills, she knows how to play the piano, and she can understand the rhythm, so she can't evade it by saying that she can only draw but not listen.She wasn't sure if Gu Xinglang had any deep meaning in pointing her at this moment, let alone understand what the situation is now.

Difficult to reason, to conspiracy theory, it can only be emotional.

She spent half her life accumulating enough eyes to look back at him eagerly.

Gu Xinglang seemed to nod his head.

To reassure her?
King Ning was also in the room and had already sat down.Thinking of "Phoenix Seeking the Phoenix" by the sea and the letter sent in the middle of the night, Ji Wanling's mind was completely confused.

"Xiao Wan, it's fine if you sit down, just keep playing, lest they say I didn't put the words first, and the exam questions will come out after the song."

Ruan Xueyin had already sat back in her seat, and she was sure that Su Wanwan had never seen the concubine Yong Wang, so she just held the piano and started playing again under the order.

The royal relatives and nobles wrote pens in front of the night sky and the lights that were lit up one after another. They were upright and solemn, which was quite representative of the imperial examination.

This Liuqin piece is really gloomy.Shangguan Yan planned to write a poem, but decided to draw a picture when he sat down. After dipping in the ink, he had to wave his sleeves. He had no inspiration, so he just started painting mountains with the ups and downs of the rhythm.

It is too plain, and the mountains are flat; even if there are deep passages in ordinary music, such as "Guangling Zhixi", it will be suppressed and rise, and it will be frustrated after a pause.

What ghost score?

If the painting is not going well, my heart will not be calm, and I think of Jing Tingge whispering in my ear just now:
This July and a half was originally Zhongyuan, but it became a jubilant event because of the emperor's birthday.We talked about it in Pengxi Mountain in the past, what do you think the teacher said?
She said, the [-]th month is full, when yin and yang meet, the emperor of Daqi Kingdom is born at this extraordinary time, he will take all black and white, disturb the two worlds, he will be both a god and a rakshasa.

Shangguan Yan never believed what Guo Xuan said.He would rather think that it was Jiji's conclusion after seeing the obsidian curtain.

Being so distracted, he unconsciously raised his eyes to look at Gu Xinglang's face on the other side of the jade steps.

It is both a god and a Rakshasa.The words were still in his ears, and he realized that Gu Xinglang was also looking at him.
