Marriage Under the Heavens

Xiao Lebai took a leather bag from the singer and took out the piano inside.

This is a phoenix head 箜篌.

Xiao Lebai, as the first of the four great masters of silk and bamboo in the world, is good at Huanghou. Because Bai Suxuan's piano skills were behind Xiao Lebai. Therefore, Qin Jiu heard that Xiao Lebai wanted to touch the qin, so he put down his wine cup and looked at him intently.

Xiao Lebai picked up the wine gourd in his hand, took a sip on his back, then hugged the 箜篌 and sat on the futon spread on the ground. He raised his hand and tuned the strings, and between the flicks of his fingertips, water-like music flowed out.

This song, the beginning of the tune is level, clear and clear, it seems that there is no special feature.

The new veterans have long lost the reputation of Xiao Lebai, but they have never heard of his performance. At the moment, they all set their ears, especially durians, and shrugged their ears.

Qin Jiu listened. Before she found the tone, she felt that the tone seemed to have found her first.

You don’t have to listen to it deliberately. This kind of piano sound seems to be able to absorb your mind, which can no longer be summed up in two words.

Qin Jiu looked at Xiao Lebai.

The light in the hall enveloped him softly, he seemed to have been completely immersed in the song, his expression was gentle and peaceful, his lips were faintly smiled, his arms were holding a 箜篌, his long hair like flowing water was half combed and half tied. , Covering half of his face.

How can such a person be willing to be a musician in the court?

He should have been an unfettered quack, how could he stand the constraints of the court?

Qin Jiu squinted slightly, and at this moment, Xiao Lebai glanced towards her, and a bright smile flashed through those not so beautiful eyes.

Since sitting in his carriage on the Qixue Festival, Qin Jiu has never seen Xiao Lebai since Xie, and Xiao Lebai seems to have no prejudice against her.

Qin Jiu clung to the wine glass and smiled at him.

Finally, Xiao Lebai's fingers stopped flicking, and the sound of music curled up. But the listener felt that this piece of music seemed to stay in their hearts forever.

Emperor Qing on the high seat closed his eyes and listened to Xiao Lebai's music, with a smile on his lips. Finally, I opened my eyes, swept away the depression on my face, and said with a slight smile: "Xiao Aiqing's piano skills have become more superb. Zhang Fu, I will reward Xiao Aiqing with five new South Sea pearls."

Xiao Lebai leaned over to thank you.

Emperor Qing seemed to be a little tired, and smiled and said: "I am very pleased that Dayu has got so many talents again! I am a little tired, so I will go back to the palace first." Emperor Qing said, and got up from the high seat. , Supported by Zhang Fu, got up and drove back to the bedroom.

Everyone knelt down and sent away Emperor Qing.

At this time, this Qionglin banquet seemed to have just begun for these talented scholars. Some people who met for the first time formed a circle and began to punch and drink. Some reserved, still sitting there and drinking slowly. Some people who are good at sociability began to wander around and toast each other.

Among those who are good at communication includes Tanhua Lang Song Chen. He was holding the wine cup, starting from the end of Anling Wang Yan Su, one by one took turns to toast. But when Qin Jiu finally arrived in front of Qin Jiu, Qin Jiufang held up his drink, but he turned around, turned to the talented person opposite Qin Jiu, and directly separated Qin Jiu.

Qin Jiu was stunned while holding the wine, in the eyes of others, how embarrassing it was. She was fine, smiled slightly and put down the glass.

The loquat behind him couldn't be seen, and he stood in front of Song Chen and said coldly: "Don't go!"

Song Chen raised his eyebrows, smiling at the corners of his lips, and asked softly, "What are you doing?"

"Toast!" Loquat, who had never talked much, ordered coldly.

Song Chen squinted his eyes and glanced over Qin Jiu, the corners of his lips smiled extremely mockingly, "Why does she make me toast, I won't toast, how can you do me?"

Loquat didn't say much, just repeated: "Toast!"

That posture is just disrespectful.

Such a dispute between the two attracted the attention of most people in the hall, and they all watched the development of the situation like a joke. Some like to watch the excitement, even thinking that it is good to be able to play.

Two of the top three in Xinke's First A could not deal with Qin Jiu.

Qin Jiu's face sank slightly, and the gentle smile at the corner of his lips slowly condensed. She got up slowly, stretched out her hand to hold the wine cup, and smiled at Song Chen, who was glaring at the loquat. "Than Hua Lang, you are really wronged if you want you to toast me. I should toast you." Then, Qin Jiu took the wine cup. , Drank the liquor in one cup.

She turned her wrist and put the wine cup on the table, ignoring whether Song Chen was drinking, and said: "Loquat, we should go!"

Loquat was quite unwilling to squint his eyes and glanced at Song Chen, only then followed Qin Jiu out of the palace gate.

Behind him, Song Chen carried the wine bottle and it was his turn to toast Xie Dichen.

Xie Dichen took the drink served by Song Chen, drank it all, patted Song Chen on the shoulder with a smile, grinned and said, "What a tan!" He stretched his thumb toward Song Chen.

Qin Jiu never looked back. Hearing Xie Dichen's voice, the corners of his lips slowly conjured up a faint smile. In the drunken night, this smile was full of calmness.

Qin Jiu strolled out of the Chongren Hall, and didn't know that he had just drunk a few cups, and felt drunk. At this time, he was stricken by the cold wind, and the chill penetrated his bones, and he hurriedly wrapped his clothes tightly.

The night was as cold as water, and the falling moon was white, shining her shadow on the steps.

"Loquat, you take good care of Lian'er, I will walk around at will." Qin Jiu said lowly.

Loquat knew what Qin Jiu was thinking, so he nodded and agreed.

2. Conspiracy

The night is as dark as ink, and the towering palace stands in the distance, hibernating like a monster. The palace lanterns hanging on the pillars of the corridor look like the eyes of monsters.

Qin Jiu walked forward slowly. Three years ago, she had never felt that the night in this palace was so gloomy and cold. At that time, she looked at everything here with joy. But today, she only felt a deep chill and couldn't help but shiver.

In front, after turning a bend, we arrived at Huayi Lake. The faint moonlight shines on the surface of the painting lake, and the calm lake water is like a mirror reflecting the moon in the sky.

A large bamboo forest is planted on the shore, and the breeze blows, and the water vapor blows on the face. The green bamboo forest swayed in the night breeze with a rustling sound.

Qin Jiu remembered that many flowers and trees were planted here, and different flowers bloomed in each season.

In that year, under the imperial decree, the Zhongshu ordered Bai Suxuan, the daughter of Baiyan, to be called into the palace, and she was appointed to the female history book. From the second grade, she was responsible for compiling the edict, drafting the saint’s will, giving gold medals, and being free to enter and leave the palace. At that time, Bai Suxuan was only fourteen years old. Even though it has become famous in the world, some people are not convinced.

Since serving as the female history book in the palace, she has to enter the palace every day. The emperor asked the queen to arrange the painting building in the palace for her to live in, but only if nothing happened, Bai Suxuan would still go out of the palace and go home every day, only occasionally she was too busy and tired to live in the painting building. From the painting building, it is the painting lake. It was spring at that time, and the lake was full of spring flowers.

Begonia, Yingchun, Ruixiang, Clove, Rhododendron, Michelia, Bauhinia, Magnolia, Qionghua, Tangdi, Weigela, Dendrobium... Although these flowers are not as expensive as the flowers and trees of the Royal Flower Garden, they bloom vigorously and she likes them very much.

In the evening, she had dinner, rejected the little palace lady who was serving, and played alone by the lakeside of Huayi Lake. Perhaps only when there is no one, she looks like a fourteen-year-old girl, not a Nushangshu standing beside the Queen of the Golden Luang Temple.

A cluster of blooming viburnum exuded a refreshing fragrance, Bai Suxuan couldn't help but leaned down and closed her eyes to sniff the cluster of flowers. This cluster of viburnum originally bloomed by the lake, very close to the water. For some reason, her legs and knees were numb, she leaned forward and fell into the lake with a "puff".

When she fell into the water, her gaze swept slightly and saw someone approaching on the path hidden by the flowers and branches by the lake.

Bai Suxuan actually knows how to water, but she deliberately pretended not to know how to water, struggling wildly on the surface of the water, crying for help in a weak voice. Because she felt her legs suddenly numb, it seemed that she was hit by something. Someone deliberately made her fall into the water. Although she does not know martial arts, such things can still be guessed.

In the early spring, the lake at night was still very cold, and the icy cold air came in through the bone marrow, and it was so cold. While struggling, she stared coldly at the lakeside.

After a while, I saw two figures pacing slowly.

Through the misty moonlight, Qin Jiu clearly recognized the man in front of him, the purple-clothed boy who was hunting in the plum forest. At that time, she guessed that he was the second prince Yan Su. Now seeing him in the palace, it is true. of. The person standing behind him, Qin Jiu recognized, was Princess Zhaoping Yan Shuixuan.

She goes to the palace to see her aunt every year, so she has met Yan Shuixuan several times. The two girls are very speculative, so they have a good relationship.

"Brother Erhuang, someone fell into the water." Yan Shuixuan pointed to Bai Suxuan who was struggling in the water.

Yan Su held his hand on the lakeside, and the night wind blew the corners of his purple clothes up. The young man squinted his eyes and smiled at the corners of his lips. He quietly said, "Oh, that's right, who is this? Carefully fall into the water."

When Bai Suxuan saw Yan Su's expression, she knew that he did the thing. She sighed and stopped struggling, and her body slowly sank underwater.

"Huh? Brother Erhuang, I just saw that she seems to be Susu. I never heard that Susu can swim. Go and save her." Zhaoping Princess Yan Shuixuan called anxiously.

Yan Su frowned and said, "Susu, you mean that Bai Suxuan? That's terrible. Although I don't know how to pour water, I have to try to save her." He said, flying over to the lake.

Bai Suxuan watched the person skimming past like a big bird. The person who was dying on the water before suddenly stretched out her hand and grabbed Yan Su's foot.

Yan Su originally wanted to pull Bai Suxuan out of the water, but coldly, someone wet in the water emerged and dragged him down. He was in the air and couldn't use his strength, just like that, he was dragged into the water.

With a "puff," Yan Su fell into the water, splashing.

Bai Suxuan seemed to feel puzzled, she turned out of the water, pressed Yan Su's head and pressed into the water. She doesn't have martial arts, but she is good at water. Yan Su is good at martial arts, but his water quality is not good.

After Bai Suxuan took two sips of water in this way, Bai Suxuan let her go, swimming to the shore like a fish.

She was drenched, her clothes stuck to her body, and her hair had already spread out, and she fell wet from her forehead, covering half of her face, showing only a pair of fire-breathing eyes, and the bright light in the clear eyes The cluster of viburnum by the lake is just as stunning.

She stood by the flowers, pinched her waist and smiled: "This lady is not so bully."

Yan Shuixuan grew her mouth and pointed to Bai Suxuan's clothes and reminded: "Susu, your clothes are still wet."

Bai Suxuan found out that her clothes were close to her body, revealing her figure. She hugged her shoulders and ran quickly.

On the second day, when the court meeting was over, the courtiers all withdrew from the imperial study room, and the white queen suddenly said, "Susu, you can ask the prince to come to the imperial study room. I have something to discuss with him."

Bai Suxuan knew that her aunt should have something important, otherwise she would not let herself pass it on, so she did not dare to neglect. When I went out and asked the eunuch, I knew that the eldest prince Yan Min was out of the Langting Palace and was about to go out to play.

Qin Jiu was afraid of going wrong, so he ran after him, and finally stopped Yan Min in front of the second door.

However, Yan Min was not alone. He was accompanied by the second prince Yan Su and Xie Dichen, the son of the Xie family. The three of them looked at Bai Suxuan falling from the sky in surprise. The expression on everyone's face is different. The most surprised thing was Yan Su, he looked at Su Xuan in a daze, his face flushed strangely.

Because she had just run, Bai Suxuan's face was blushing and beautiful, but when she saw the three of them, she looked calm and walked up to them unsmilingly. She lowered her eyelashes without looking at anyone. She bowed to Yan Minfu and said: " Your Highness, go to the Imperial Study Room, please go with me!"

Yan Min was surprised, and looked at Su Xuan, "It turns out to be a female Shi Shangshu. I wonder what is the matter with the Queen's Royal Highness?"

Bai Suxuan said with a faint expression: "My official doesn't know, please go over quickly."

Yan Su interrupted at this time and asked, "Are you Bai Suxuan?"

Bai Suxuan turned around, and Subai's official uniform fluttered as she turned, and a cold wind blew up. She looked at Yan Su coldly, and said in a polite way: "It's the official."

Yan Su looked at Su Xuan's beautiful and beautiful face, instantly dumb. Su Xuan knew that he did not see herself clearly when he calculated that he went into the water last night, so she narrowed her eyes and said, "Second prince, I wonder if the water in Huayi Lake is delicious?"

The expression on Yan Su's face suddenly froze.

Xie Dichen didn't know the allusion to the water in the painting lake, and kept asking Yan Su. Yan Su naturally wouldn't tell Xie Dichen about such embarrassing things. That day, the awkward look on the boy's face made her laugh after thinking about it.

The painting Lake was so beautiful back then, but now, there is only a bamboo forest left.

The flowers blooming on the shore are gone, leaving no trace, just like the affection between him and her.

On the moon, the brilliance is like practice.

Qin Jiu felt that his drinking spirit was almost awake, and was about to go back to the temple to summon durian to go back home.

Unexpectedly, a slender hand stretched out, hugged Qin Jiu's waist, and led her to the bamboo forest.
