Fengqi crabapple

Chapter 60 Bau
With Ji Qinglan performing pearls in the front, the others who played the piano and danced in the back seemed ordinary.

The queen smiled and said: "I don't know many of the ladies who came today, so I made a fool of myself. If the performance is good, the emperor and I will be rewarded. If the performance is not good, I will be punished with three drinks of wine." !”

The queen looked around and cast her eyes on Haitang. The queen smiled and said: "Mrs. Zuodu Yushi, I only know that you have a son. This is the first time I have seen this bright and charming girl beside you."

The emperor and Concubine Ji also looked over.

Mrs. Sun stood up and replied: "Your Majesty, you have good eyesight. This is my concubine's adopted daughter, her name is Cheng Haitang. She is the legitimate daughter of General Cheng Bing of the Xuan Mansion. By chance, she and my concubine formed a mother-daughter relationship. This is the first time today. Entering the palace, I never expected that I would fall into the eyes of the empress."

Haitang also stood up and walked forward to salute the emperor and his wife: "My daughter, Cheng Haitang, has met your majesty and your empress. I have little talent and little knowledge. Since the empress has chosen me, I will show off my embarrassment." After saying that, she continued. Guo Shuang'er handed over an instrument, which looked like a flute but not a flute, or a flute but not a flute.

She stood in the middle of the flower bed, her figure curling up. Under the silvery moonlight, the gradual change of cyan on her skirt made her look like a fairy rising slowly from the sea.

I saw her playing the instrument vertically like a flute.A melodious tune softly sounded on the lips. The sound of this instrument was soft and sweet, and the tune was ethereal, like a pair of lovers whispering and expressing their heartfelt feelings.

For a while, the sound of music lingered on the lake, echoed with the scene of the lanterns on the lake, and lingered with the cold moonlight, making people feel so tender and want to hug their lover tightly.

Amidst the sound of music, the tide of love in Xie Ruitang's heart stretched like a stormy wave breaking through the shore.But at this moment, he just wanted to take Haitang away and hide her.

Xie Yuanfeng also felt an uncontrollable impulse in his heart, as if the music contained the dream he had been searching for for many years. The lover in the song who stayed with each other would accompany him through the long and helpless loneliness.He had a strong desire to possess it.

Zhao Muche asked: "Did you feel anything?"

Shen Congxi whispered: "The timbre of this instrument is very similar to the cucurbit flute we saw in Yunnan. It is indeed easy to move people's hearts."

Zhao Muzhe gave him a look, then pursed his lips in the direction of Xie Yuanfang and Xie Ruitang: "I mean there is a strong smell of gunpowder in the music!"

Shen Congxi was confused.

The music stopped, and everyone was still enjoying the beauty of the music, but it was still slowly released in their hearts.The emperor paused and asked: "What kind of musical instrument is this? I have never heard it before. Cheng Haitang, do you know your guilt?"

The emperor's words made everyone feel tense and confused.

Haitang knelt down to the emperor and replied: "This instrument is called Bawu, which is a musical instrument from Lingnan. This song is 'Bamboo House Love Song', which tells the story of a pair of lovers who eventually became a couple of gods and immortals. Your Majesty, my ministers I don’t know what crime this music is guilty of?” Haitang didn’t say what crime she committed, but she said it was music.The emperor nodded with satisfaction at her intelligence.

The emperor took the concubine's hand affectionately and said with a smile: "You are guilty of arousing the love between me and my beloved concubine and making me unable to control myself."

"Your Majesty~" Concubine Ji did not expect the Emperor to say such affectionate words in public, and was quite moved.

She waved to Haitang, who walked up to her and the emperor. "What a good boy! I will reward you with a waist card, allowing you to enter the palace at any time. You are going to go to the palace and pass all the bawu and music to the musicians. Are you willing?"

The emperor laughed and squeezed the imperial concubine's hand: "You always know what I mean."

Haitang hurriedly knelt down to receive the badge handed over by the palace maid and said: "Haitang obeys your order."

Xie Ruitang's heart was filled with worry again. He often went to the palace and accidents were easy to happen. Haitang would have to deal with more situations.

While he was thinking a lot, Xie Ruiqiao stood up and said: "With Miss Cheng's lingering voice, the sons and ministers also came to show off their ugliness and cheer up the father and the emperor."

King Xian walked to the flower platform and asked people to place four cylindrical fireworks in the middle of the flower platform. King Xian lit the fuse with a fire stick, and the fireworks shot into the sky and bloomed one after another in the night sky.There is a word in the middle of each blooming firework, which is "Wan", "Shou", "Wu" and "Xinjiang".

"Okay! These fireworks are made skillfully and the calligraphy is good! Come, give King Xian some wine!" the emperor said happily.

King Xian drank the wine bestowed by his father, and everyone at the men's table also toasted King Xian one after another, so the performance was also suspended, and everyone came and went and walked around each other.

In the past, in the palace, men's seats and women's seats did not interact with each other. Today, in the royal garden outside the palace, the prince and Prince Xian took the lead in going to the women's seats to pay respect to the elders of their mother's clan. The queen and Concubine Yi also turned a blind eye. They closed their eyes and pretended to be confused, and everyone followed the same example, and the men and women were mixed together.

Xie Ruitang suddenly remembered that in his previous life, at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, someone poisoned the prince's wine, but King Kang accidentally drank it and died instantly.History cannot be allowed to repeat itself in this life.

Xie Ruitang looked around and found that his fifth brother, King Kang, was in the women's banquet, so he also walked over.

At this time, the sky is bright and clear, and the moon and stars are sparse.
