Chapter 313 Backstage
While talking, Wu Shulai's voice came in from outside: "The emperor is here! Princess Jingke is here!" This voice yelled everyone to kneel down, and Minzhi couldn't care less about burying the luthier, and knelt together with Wanning Get off and drive.

Kangxi came in with the Eighteenth Princess and swept around the people present: "Get up!" Minzhi and Wanning stood up and stepped aside, Kangxi held the hand of the Eighteenth Princess and walked to the dragon chair prepared earlier in the morning , Minzhi and Wanning were just about to step forward to pay respects, when Princess Jing Ke said, "Who is this? Huang Ama didn't call out, how can you stand up?"

As soon as Min Zhi raised her forehead, she knew it was Bai Lanzhi again without turning her head.Alright, the princess has spoken, you boy wait to be punished!Of course, Kangxi also saw a person standing abruptly among a group of kneeling actors, squinting his eyes carefully.Comparing the person in front of me with the appearance of Cao Yin when he was young, he felt relieved that there was only a three-point resemblance.Fortunately, he is more like his mother. If he is like his father like Cao Yong, how will he survive under the eyes of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty in the future.

The old man stared at Bai Lanzhi without saying a word, Bai Lanzhi didn't mean to bow his head at all, he looked at Kangxi's face with burning eyes, Minzhi and the others lowered their heads to show respect, they didn't see the old man and Bai Lanzhi staring at each other .The Eighteenth Princess was furious: "Bold slave, dare to spy on Long Yan privately! Still don't kneel down!"

Bai Lanzhi was taken aback for a moment, then turned his face contemptuously.Kangxi raised his hand: "Forget it, let's all get up, the old Ba family..."

Minzhi was called on and took a step forward: "My daughter-in-law is here!"

"Hurry up and start, Zhen Ke and Jing Ke are watching here."

"According to the order!"

At the beginning of the second rehearsal, Bai Lanzhi was deprived of the right to participate. Among the busy crowd, he looked very abrupt.However, what surprised both Minzhi and Wanning was that our luthier kept looking at Kangxi, and the old man didn't mind.On the other hand, Jing Ke and Liu Mei stood upright and wanted to say something but were stopped by the old man.

Minzhi's heart skipped a beat, this little luthier's background is really not small, the old man actually allowed him to be rude in front of him, with his fault-finding personality, how could he tolerate someone being rude to him so much?
Looking at Bai Lanzhi again, Minzhi has the urge to hit his forehead against the wall, it's clearly a sign of hatred, it's just the look in his eyes that wants to pounce on him and take a bite, how can the old man be so calm?There must be something tricky here.Looking at the Eighteenth Princess next to her, from her face livid with anger, she couldn't help but look up and down the most discordant existence like his father.

Minzhi is disillusioned, Bai Lanzhi is really a special person, seeing that the old man is so tolerant towards him, he is very interested in seeing him as a scenery, maybe this person is some kind of young master from the prince's family, and he is related to the old man, Min Zhi made wild guesses like this.Soon, the scene ended, and the actors knelt down and begged for comments.The old man waved his hand: "It's interesting, but why didn't he participate?"

Minzhi was stunned for a moment, not sure whether the old man opened the back door or just said it casually.I had no choice but to step forward and answer: "My daughter-in-law thinks the timbre of the zither is more suitable for this play, and the sound of the zither is a bit thick."

Kangxi pondered for a while, and turned to Bai Lanzhi: "Your master is a master I admire very much. You are his single disciple. I can look at your master and forgive you for being unreasonable today. Now, play a song for me and the princess." Minzhi 囧: When did the old man become so talkative?
However, what surprised him was that Bai Lanzhi was deaf and dumb again, standing there without moving.Now the princess was completely enraged, she took a few steps forward, relying on the height of the flag shoes, and pretended to look down on him: "Didn't you hear what Huang Ama said?" Minzhi and Wanning closed their eyes at the same time, it was over, they were warned Ke Ji hates it, this luthier has suffered a lot.

Bai Lanzhi couldn't speak, the princess's arrogance didn't help him at all, so he just closed his eyes and didn't look at her.The audience was quiet, everyone looked at Bai Lanzhi like a monster, is he crazy?The emperor was sitting not far away, and standing in front of him was Princess Gu Lun, the jewel in his palm, how dare he ignore it?
Minzhi felt that the world was disillusioned, because peeking at Kangxi's expression on the seat, he was clearly waiting for a good show. What's going on?
Over there, when did Princess Jingke suffer this kind of anger? Since she was a child, who would dare to ignore her? "You, when you meet Huang Ama and this princess, you are not polite, and this princess asks you, but you don't answer. What about your rules? This princess asks you, what are your rules?" Minzhi felt that Jingke's patience had run out. To the limit.Hastily said: "Princess...well, actually...he can't speak."

Jing Ke was stunned: "Sister-in-law, what are you talking about? He...he can't speak? Even so, he will be punished if he sees the master for being rude!" "That...princess, actually...he can't speak , Occasionally, this ear... can't hear." Minzhi deliberately slowed down her speech, hoping to see Bai Lanzhi's reaction.

As a result, as she expected, this child is a soft-hearted kid. Hearing Minzhi mocking him, he opened his eyes suddenly, which startled Jing Ke: "What kind of eyes are you... come here..." Before he finished speaking, a jaw-dropping scene appeared. Bai Lanzhi suddenly made a fuss, took a step forward, and stretched out his hand. Minzhi thought what he was going to do, but he froze there and dragged himself desperately. sleeves, and his face was flushed.

Jing Ke was frightened by his sudden suddenness, but took a step back only to find him standing there stupidly, holding the sleeve of his right hand with his left hand, in a fit of anger, he came up and raised his hand to ask him to slap, Kangxi's voice sounded lazily behind him : "Jing Ke, come here and listen to the qin with Huang Ama." Jing Ke gritted his teeth: "Huang Ama, I don't want to listen to the qin, this person is bold and disrespectful to my son..."

"Okay, come here, sit next to Huang Ama, Mu Sheng, you can start." The sound of Mu Sheng scared everyone, and Minzhi was scared out of his wits. It's over, the old man and the surname Bai's young man really has a lot of connections. Mu Sheng is either his nickname or his nickname. The old man knows him very well, but this young man clearly has an enmity with the old man. This...

Standing there as the focal point, Bai Lanzhi's face changed drastically when he heard the word Mu Sheng. The blood was flushed from his originally cramped face, and he looked at Kangxi in disbelief.

"What? I can't invite you anymore? I don't want to hear anything else. Just now the old Bajia said that you used Han Gongqiuyue to show off your piano skills to bury your petty nature. You play another song to justify yourself. Don't insult me." Your family's reputation."

Now, Minzhi really wanted to find a hole to drill down. The backstage of this young man was actually the old man, and he seemed to know his origin and family background like the back of his hand.In just a few words, the boy was almost on the point of crying.Seeing the old man's kind appearance, Min Zhi and Shiliu Fujin glanced at each other, and they all smiled wryly.

Bai Lanzhi walked to the front of the piano table and sat down. It seemed that he had stabilized his mind before putting his hands on the strings. Soon, the clear and melodious sound of the piano poured out, and there was no more complaints. Kangxi motioned to the workers to give him a seat.Only then did Minzhi and Wanning sit down tremblingly.

The piano music was melodious, and Kangxi seemed to enjoy listening to it, so others could only accompany him. Min Zhi saw that the Eighteenth Princess was also a reluctant Yang Zi, and wondered why the old man fell in love with such a rootless literary youth. It's really puzzling.

Just as he was thinking about it, the song over there ended, and the old man still didn't want to finish it: "That's right, your father played this song when he was your age, old Bajia, just follow what you said just now, and make up a song called "Guan Yu." "Mountain and Moon" to him, the qin song is also fresh. I'm waiting to see the result."

Minzhi was dumbfounded: "Huang Ama, this "Guan Shanyue"..." "I agree, I also want to know what Li Bai's Guan Shanyue composes into a tune. Jing Ke, accompany Huang Ama back to the palace Bar."

Minzhi and the others sent off the holy driver respectfully, the Eighteenth Princess looked at Bai Lanzhi who was standing stupidly in the crowd, gave him a hard look, and then left with Kangxi.

As soon as Kangxi left, Wanning became anxious: "Sister-in-law, what's going on? He... and "Guan Shanyue", what should we do now?" Minzhi also couldn't laugh or cry: "Huang Ama appointed him, so what should I do now?" Let’s arrange it for him, even Huang Ama can’t control the big man, let’s do it according to the imperial decree, but isn’t this "Guan Shanyue" originally from the piano score?"

Bai Lanzhi has been distracted since Kangxi left, when he heard Min Zhi's question, he subconsciously said: "No, I've never heard of it." Min Zhi fainted.Did she make any common-sense mistakes again? She remembered that when she was in school, the teacher let the song go. Why did it disappear here?

The people in the room looked at each other, Qiqi shook her head and said that she had never heard of "Guan Shanyue". Minzhi was defeated, but she remained calm: "No? If not, just compose one now. The Mid-Autumn Festival dinner is still early, and there is enough time. Master Baiqin, what do you think?"

She can't help accommodating the old man, but she didn't wait for his answer before ordering: "I'll give you one month to compose Li Bai's poem into a qin song, and the rest of the month Used for rehearsal.

Stop here today, go back and think about it.Huang Ama is looking forward to this performance, and you have all seen it.Let's all go, I will notify you of the next rehearsal time. "

Everyone retreated under the orders, only Bai Lanzhi remained in his mind-wandering, and Minzhi didn't look at him, and walked out together with Wanning.

In the next few days, every time Min Zhi chatted with the Eighteenth Princess, when talking about the luthier, Jing Ke would gnash his teeth: "I don't know the etiquette, I don't know the rules, and I don't know where Huang Ama got her right, and she is so conniving. he!"

Minzhi comforted: "Princess is used to looking down on court ladies who are respectful and reasonable. Of course, you can't accept the original ecology outside the palace for a while. Huang Ama also cherishes talents. The princess tried to put the rules aside. When it’s time for the Mid-Autumn Festival performance, just appreciate his performance, so that you won’t be so angry.”
