Reborn as the crippled king's favorite

Chapter 123 Concubine Jing has the shadow of the Queen Mother on her body
The second prince crushed the wine glass, and the broken porcelain shards pricked his hands with blood.

However, the applause was so loud that no one noticed this movement.

Among them, the applause from the Prince of the Western Region was the warmest. Everyone stood up and their eyes were full of amazement.

The envoys around the Prince of the Western Regions also nodded vigorously and praised him nonstop with the people around him.

When the emperor saw this, he felt a little proud, feeling that Murong Jiu had won glory for Dayan. He stood up and praised loudly:
"That's right, that's right. This song should only be heard in heaven, not in the human world! Princess Ling, you are such a surprise! Now there is no birthmark on your face, and your pearls are no longer covered in dust. I didn't expect that in addition to your medical skills, you also have Such superb piano skills!”

In Dayan, there is no noble girl from an aristocratic family who does not learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. The so-called gentleman, six arts and eight elegant women have superb levels and have always been respected by people.

For example, in painting, there is painting saint Hua Daozi, and in chess, there is chess idiot Sima Gong, etc.

For another example, the reason why Murong Man is the most talented woman in the capital is not because of how good she is in learning, but because she is in the upper reaches of the ladies in terms of music, chess, calligraphy and painting.

It's just that people never expected that Murong Man's piano skills, which he was proud of, would be crushed by Murong Jiu in all directions. The whole audience was shocked and couldn't extricate themselves for a long time.

Even the emperor was full of surprise and satisfaction.

Guangling San is difficult and requires high skills, and the most difficult thing is emotion. However, Murong Jiu's playing can be said to be extremely perfect, giving people an immersive feeling, and their mind changes with the sound of the piano.

Even people who are not good at the piano can hear the full emotion in Murong Jiu's music.

The Queen Mother smiled kindly and said to Murong Jiu: "This Green Qi has been gathering dust in the Ai family for more than ten years, but it has shown its former glory in your hands. With a good piano and a good hand, the Ai family will give the Green Qi to you." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked shocked, and the queen clenched her fingers tightly and said with a smile:

"Mother, Green Qi is a national treasure, or a gift given to you by Your Majesty on your birthday that year. It is of extraordinary significance. Isn't it inappropriate to give it to Princess Ling like this?"

In the whole of Dayan, Luqi's guqin was ranked first. In the previous dynasty, the concubines in the harem were proud to own it. It could be said to be a symbol of status. Later, it was just given to the Queen Mother by the emperor, but the Queen Mother actually wanted to give it to Ling. The princess and the queen are naturally unhappy.

The Queen Mother said softly: "Since the Emperor gave it to the Ai family, it belongs to the Ai family. The Ai family can give it to whomever they want. What's more, in the whole world, the queen can find someone more suitable than Princess Ling. Who owns this piano?"

The queen said: "But this is Dayan..."

Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by the emperor: "The Queen Mother is right. I gave it to the Queen Mother, and it is the Queen Mother's business to deal with it. I also feel that only Princess Ling is worthy of this Green Qi Guqin." ."

The emperor has said this, what else can the queen say, of course she just smiles and stops talking.

So this most noble guqin in the world became Murong Jiu's possession.

Murong Jiuying bowed and thanked the Queen Mother and the Emperor.

Everyone came back to their senses and found that Murong Jiu was really different. Even a treasured piano like Lu Qi was awarded to her, and her status had risen.

She is no longer the ugly country girl that people thought she was.

As for Murong Man, who was pampered in the capital, he was not even half as good as Murong Jiu.

Murong Man was standing next to Murong Jiu with Qin in his arms. His face was pale and haggard, while Murong Jiu was radiant and graceful. The contrast was truly extraordinary.

Both men returned to their seats.

"Dear Your Majesty, the song played by Princess Ling today will be unforgettable forever! Our huqin cannot play such a surging and moving mood!" Na Kesi said loudly to the emperor, with his pair of amber His eyes fell on Murong Jiu for an instant.

His eyes were so aggressive that Murong Jiu lowered his head, not wanting to look at him.

Murong Jiu felt something was wrong. Na Kesi never glanced at Fu Baozhu, but always stared at her. How could a prince be so ungrateful?

Jun Yuyan frowned slightly and held Murong Jiu's finger in public, intending to declare his sovereignty. As long as the prince of the Western Region had some sense of shame, he would not continue to stare at other people's wives.

Na Kesi laughed loudly and said to the emperor: "It's a pity that Princess Ling's appearance cannot be desecrated, and the sound of the piano is also unsatisfactory. However, we have prepared the beauty of the Western Regions to once again present our court dance music to your majesty. , May your Majesty stay young forever, and May Dayan be prosperous forever!"

The emperor was overjoyed when he heard this and let the dancing girl enter the palace.

The dancing girls who came in were indeed picturesque, with their faces covered with a thin layer of gauze, and their looming faces made people even more imaginative.

They danced boldly and unrestrainedly, and when the atmosphere was lively, they also interacted with the ministers present.

The so-called interaction is shaking the waist and hips in front of the ministers, or swaying on their bodies. Many ministers are distracted.

Of course, there are those like General Fu who pushed people out without understanding the charm, which made Murong Jiu laugh.

There was also a dancing girl on Jun Yuyan's side, but before she could dance, Jun Yuyan's cold eyes scared the dancing girl away.

Murong Jiu estimated that these dancers would be sent to various ministers' mansions soon.

It seemed that this happened in her previous life. She couldn't remember clearly. She only remembered that Murong Man was in the limelight and Fu Baozhu also performed a sword dance, which was greatly praised by Na Kesi and the envoy.

Thinking of this, she looked towards Fu Baozhu.

Fu Baozhu seemed to be struggling with something, biting his lips and looking at Na Kesi from time to time.

Um?Fu Baozhu is actually interested in Na Kesi?
Doesn’t Fu Baozhu like the prince?

Or is it that she has sensed the crisis, is afraid that her identity will be exposed, and wants to get rid of the General's Mansion as soon as possible?
Although the Western Region Kingdom is a vassal state, it is still the most powerful among the surrounding countries. Moreover, it is considered that the heir has been determined for a long time. He will definitely be the King of the Western Regions in the future. The old Western Region King will soon die of illness. Fu Baozhu Soon after marrying, she will become the queen.

Murong Jiu lowered his eyes and pondered in his heart.

After the palace banquet was over, many ministers drank too much, and the emperor also drank a lot. He seemed very happy. After drinking, he and the queen returned to the palace.

On the 15th day of the lunar month, the emperor would go to the queen's palace.

During the entire palace banquet, Concubine Jing seemed to be a transparent person. Even the concubines did not notice her. She was extremely low-key.

But Murong Jiu noticed that Concubine Jing seemed to be looking not at the Emperor, but at the Queen Mother.

She couldn't hold it in any longer, so she told Jun Yuyan about it on the way back.

"I always feel that Concubine Jing seems to have the shadow of the Queen Mother on her body. The styles of Buddhist beads on their hands are similar."

Of course, the Queen Mother's prayer beads were made of white jade. Jingbin's beads were as inconspicuous as she was. If Murong Jiu hadn't paid special attention, he wouldn't have been able to see the beads wrapped around her wrist.
