King's man

The previous day's martial arts competition failed to achieve Yang Qiong's wish to be proud, so she was more concerned about the welcome banquet this night.She brought Yuqin, the most famous person in Nan'an Kingdom. It is rumored that she is the only one in the world who can play the pipa, and has a wonderful voice, which few people can match. There is also a member of the envoys, who is the dancing spirit of Nan'an National Art. female.She is convinced that with these two people, no one can match Zhongping.

The feast of this night was indeed full of flowers and unparalleled.The main hall is resplendent with gold and jade, and the lights are like daylight.Courtiers and nobles were all invited to come, and Yang Xian's harem concubines were also present, which is the highest courtesy to envoys from other countries.Yang Qiong was next to Yang Xian, condescendingly watching the crowd take their seats one after another.The handsome young man who won the martial arts competition yesterday was also there, it turned out to be the son of old General Murong.She glanced over and saw Yang Hong, who was on the right hand first, with an indifferent and peaceful expression.If the emperor was there, Yang Xian would be sitting in that seat. He was just the son of a court lady, how could He De ascend the throne and become emperor.Thinking of this, she couldn't help being angry.Turning his head and glanced at Yang Xian, he was in a good mood, with a smile on his face all the time.There are more exciting things in the future, and you will be happier!Yang Qiong was muttering in his heart, and turned his head to face the murderer in the palace.

The delicacies are full of eyes, and the toasts are interlaced.Yang Qiong is most familiar with this scene.She is in the midst of coping with ease, like a duck to water.At one point she thought that even being with the emperor whom she despised was much more comfortable than facing that old man in Nan'an.After a few glasses of wine, her face was slightly flushed, and there was a bright light in her eyes.

For a while, the voices of the people gradually faded, and it was Yuqin who appeared on the stage.She is wearing a long silk skirt, which is decorated with exquisite embroidery, which is extraordinarily gorgeous; on the upper body is a short dress, with strings of thin and round pearls hanging on it.She walked through the pavilion with a pipa, and the pearl waved along with her.Yeon-joon is happy with her.

Yuqin stood still in the center of the stage, flicked her jade fingers, and there was a clear, trembling sound. The audience was silent, the drinking, chatting and laughing stopped, and no one moved.The ten slender fingers touched the strings of the pipa again, and the clear and pleasant music danced out with her nimble fingers dancing. After a while, not only the melodious music of the pipa, but also her beautiful singing voice.Her voice is really round and clean, like the sound of nature floating in a fairyland, that singing is as gentle as lake water, as sweet as rain, and as clear as blue sky.At this time, it was no longer just her fingers that were dancing, but also the arm holding the piano. Her whole person, like her fingers, melted into the music.So when everyone saw her holding the pipa behind her back and playing it with her backhand, they all made a sound of amazement. Has such a long-lost skill reappeared in the world? The ministers will not believe it.

Yang Qiong paid close attention to everyone's reactions, and when she saw their expressions of amazement and admiration, she knew that she was going to win.She glanced at Yang Xian again, seeing that he was also attracted by Yuqin who was playing the pipa, she nodded frequently, she threw everyone away, didn't care about the banquet, and smiled happily to herself.

At the end of the song, applause broke out.Yang Xian bestowed Yuqin with imperial wine and rewarded her with many other things.Yuqin declined all the other rewards except drinking the royal wine, and everyone praised her more and more.Yang Qiong watched Yuqin leave, and she wanted to see who would dare to deal with it next.Wouldn't that actor be allowed to sing? She glanced around again, but Qingping was nowhere to be seen.Isn't that ridiculous?She thought to herself, but kept silent.A smile that knows everything in the heart and waits for a good show.

The courtiers of the two countries complimented each other, chatting and laughing endlessly.Yang Qiong waited for a while, but no one appeared on the stage.While she was wondering, a long and leisurely sound of the piano floated over, so soft that no one noticed it yet.Where does this sound come from?Yang Qiong looked around, but saw nothing unusual.Gradually, everyone also noticed the sound and began to hold their breath. The sound of the piano became clearer and clearer, as if it came from afar, as if it was right next to their ears, or as if it came from the bottom of their hearts.For a moment the sound of the music changed rapidly, like many battle drums, like the hoofs of thousands of horses and horses when they swept over, and everyone sat stiffly in silence, as if they were frightened.

Yang Qiong saw the eyes of the old man on the throne, he raised his eyes to look at her, and saw through the dislike she hid in her heart towards him, his eyes became more stern, and he stared straight at her, making her shudder.What to do, what to do, he wants to kill me.A cold sweat broke out on her forehead.You've lived too long, it's you who deserves to be damned!She almost yelled at him.The music gradually became softer, cleaner and more melodious.Ethereal as if sprinkled from the sky, covering the entire palace.Anderhuang's slack face and stern eyes disappeared.She breathed a sigh of relief, and when she looked up, she saw herself in the wilderness, looking around blankly, with no one inhabited.What about the father, queen and concubine?What about the envoys of Nan'an Kingdom?What about Andrew?No, I want to find his son, King Anzheng, Li Yan.Li Yan, you promised me that you would not leave me alone.Looking around, there is nothing.Yeah, it was a dream, nothing.She lay down on the wilderness, the soft grass, the vast sky, peace and relaxation, making people want to lie down forever.

At the end of the sound of the piano, a man in white with a crown and brocade belt came down from the high platform outside the hall, holding a piano in his arm.Yang Qiong thought it was Qingping, but when he walked in, she noticed that the piano he was carrying was Zhuyin.Zuyin is one of the two famous pianos in the world, and it has been kept in Yongguang Palace, and the other Qifeng is kept by the Queen Mother of Xixiong Kingdom.Back then, she had asked her father for this piano, but even though her father loved her so much, he still rejected her.Now it has fallen into the hands of this actor.She looked up at him, still startled.No, not the actor.She saw a beautiful face and a pair of ice blue eyes.It's a woman, Du Jinghong, a talented woman. She wears men's clothing, so elegant, extraordinary, and unparalleled.She is also suitable in men's clothing, and she is still so stunning.Thinking of seeing Du Jinghong for the first time when she was a young girl, she who has always been vain about her beauty can't help but secretly feel ashamed.At the beginning, she was most jealous of her blue eyes, as well as her intelligence and talent, so her father allowed her to study with them.She doesn't admit it, even if they meet now, there is still a trace of jealousy in her heart. "I present a song to welcome Princess Yongping back to the country. At the same time, I wish the Zhongping Kingdom and Nan'an Kingdom peace forever because of the princess's marriage!" Yang Qiong heard Du Jinghong finish speaking in a calm and humble manner, and the ministers of the two countries responded accordingly. "I wish the two countries will have a good relationship forever and peace forever!" In this cry, Yang Qiong felt a strange satisfaction, which made her feel so important, as if the fate of the people in the world was determined by herself.For the first time, she felt the meaning of her marriage.She looked intently at Du Jinghong's dark blue eyes, still feeling a little dazed.At this time, she noticed that everyone was looking at her like her, and even Yang Xian leaned forward, as if seeing her for the first time.With a wave of her arm, "Bonus!" she said.The hall was still extremely quiet until she floated away.

Du Jinghong is like a flash of epiphyllum on a moonlit night, like a shooting star passing by in the lonely sky, gorgeous and amazing, shocking and lingering.Murong Su watched Du Jinghong go away, it was strange that he thought of that woman, but he didn't know where she was or what her name was.She hasn't appeared since that snowy night.Do you blame yourself for being abrupt?When she raised her jade hands and handed him the square silk handkerchief, he accidentally touched her hand, and it was slightly cold.She was obviously drunk at that time.No, Nasipa belongs to Xiaowan.Who is she and how do you know Xiaowan?Thinking of that name, his heart softened as if it melted.Why didn't she show up today?I still want to see her again, even if it is from a distance, that's fine.But she's not here, what's wrong with her, is she sick?From the beginning of the banquet, he had noticed that she was not there, so he had been absent-minded and worried until now.The foolish king sitting on the throne, guarding such a beautiful woman as the imperial concubine, is still not at ease, and wants to take Xiaowan away, possessing it but not cherishing it, such a rough womanizer, hateful!

Murong Su was always restless and didn't pay attention to the girl's dance on the stage.Obviously, everyone except him is watching mesmerized.Wuling Sunv, her crystal tube top is shining under the light of palace lanterns, a pair of slender legs are looming under the gauze wing dance skirt, and the curve of the whole body is gracefully presented in front of her eyes. Her perfect crisp shoulders, white Her arms, soft waist, her dexterous fingers and pointed nails; her red lips, smiling on her lips; her clear eyes, gentle... When the melody of the music becomes more and more exciting, , her body is becoming more and more flexible, her smile is becoming more and more charming, and the people around Douyin are excited and eager to move.This woman who combined gentleness and presumptuousness, purity and coquettishness brought the atmosphere of the banquet to the edge of carnival. For a moment, everyone drank more attentively and laughed more boldly.Yang Qiong sat and watched everything, and slowly let go of the calmness in her heart, trying to enjoy a moment of hilarity.

As Yang Qiong expected, Qingping showed up next.He was dressed in black dance clothes, as if he was going to hide in the night, but at this moment he was in the center of the stage, under the lights.There is also a petite woman in white who dances with him.As the music started, black clothes and white clothes slowly approached on the stage, and then became entangled.She saw the water splashed by the stampede of her feet, she saw the two-color dance belt chasing and falling in the air, she saw the woman in white beside the man in black who sometimes wanted to greet or refuse, and sometimes wanted to return, as if there were countless The entanglement and entanglement, the constant cutting and chaos, seems to be full of lingering lingering, and it will cost a lifetime of time.She imagined the man named Li Yan in black clothes.He is the prince.He called her queen mother.Feng Qiuhuang, I heard that this dance is called "Feng Qiuhuang".Such a beautiful dance suddenly disturbed her, and there seemed to be an irreparable hole in her heart, whistling through the void.

Black clothes and white clothes are still chasing each other, deducing the love-hate entanglement between Feng and Huang.Murong Su lives with anxiety and anger.The emperor is lustful and fatuous, but how serious are those well-dressed ministers!He thought mockingly in his heart, and he regarded the royal banquet hall as a brothel.After thinking about it this way, a sense of loss surrounded him.The wine in the cup was full, and he drank it up on his back. The tall crystal lamp came into his eyes, and the shadow of the lamp gradually enlarged in his pupils, blurring into a bright flower.He put down his wine glass and glanced at the stage casually. The woman in white was indeed petite and exquisite, and she was the oiran back then.he knows.He also knew that the man in black was Qingping, he had seen it before.In this way, he shifted his eyes to the man in black again, and only saw his back. He turned around in an instant, and the face that had been decorated appeared in front of his eyes. The white face was set against the black clothes, and there was a kind of haughty indifference. , but the eyes are full of tenderness, and there is a charming charm in the corners of the eyes and brows.This feeling is very familiar.He frowned slightly, his eyes closely following the black clothes.At that moment, he suddenly realized.No wonder I always thought he looked familiar!It turned out that he was not just Qingping.I met him by chance, earlier than he remembered.Recalling the emperor's spring outing, when I saw him in Yiming Pavilion, I felt familiar.Unexpectedly, he was actually that woman.He has been sidelined for several years, but he didn't know it, even though he came to visit with Brother Ji last time, he didn't realize it!Thinking of this, he couldn't help laughing.

Yang Qiong bowed her hair in a daze, feeling lost in her heart.And the other queen, Chen Huilan, who was separated from her by Yang Xian, was turning her head to look this way.But she wasn't looking at Yang Qiong, she was looking at Yang Xian.The dance was beautiful, but those two people dancing lightly made her feel uneasy suddenly.She turned her head to look at Yang Xian, and saw that the emperor was looking at the stage intently, with no expression on his face.She wanted to say something to him, but she didn't know how to say it.I had no choice but to turn my head away and still look at the stage.

Yang Xian kept looking at the stage, watching the black clothes and white clothes chasing and entanglement, looking at Qingping's handsome and clean face surrounded by black clothes, with a focused and intoxicated expression.he does not like.Yang Xian raised his hand and drank a glass of wine.The maid behind him quietly refilled the cup for him, and he raised his glass again until the end of the dance, and both of them went behind the scenes.The banquet hall was noisy again.Loyal ministers toast each other and compliment each other.Yang Xian toasted the two queens, one cup on the left and one cup on the right.Because of the emptiness in her heart, Yang Qiong also had the desire to get drunk, and she was courteous in return after cup of cup, not knowing when the banquet would end.

Qingping took off her make-up and changed her clothes, she already had attention in her heart.He had seen Murong Su sitting there just now, Concubine Yu was not in good health in the past few days and was not there.He deliberately arranged for them to meet, thinking that tonight's banquet was noisy and busy, or it might be a good time.So he sent Chu Xi back to Yufengyuan, and returned to the banquet hall.Unexpectedly, he was stopped by a figure on the way, but it was Lin Mei. "Qingping is in such a hurry, why?" Lin Mei covered her lips with her sleeve and smiled charmingly.

Qingping stood still and replied: "How about going to see the emperor, I'm afraid he drank too much wine."

After hearing this, Lin Mei raised her jade arm to hook Qingping's neck, leaning her body against him. "My son really has a deep affection for the emperor, but he left Mei'er alone." After finishing speaking, he sighed quietly without losing the opportunity.

Seeing this, Qingping thought to herself that she was not the fragile Chu Xi who needed protection everywhere.Immediately understood: "What's the matter, my lady, but please tell me!"

Lin Mei laughed again after hearing this: "It is said that Mr. Qingping is the most considerate of others, and it is true. I just learned about the benefits of Mr. Young Master today. Mr. Master, Meier has a small wish, and she has to rely on Mr. Young Master to help her achieve it." !” When she said that, she looked up at him, her charming expression disappeared, and her eyes looked innocent and innocent.

Qingping looked at her, and really didn't know what other choice she had besides agreeing. "What do you need me to do?"

Lin Mei raised her hand and handed him a thumb-sized white porcelain bottle, "It's very simple. You just need to put this in the wine for the emperor to drink, and then coax him back to sleep obediently, and leave the rest to me."

Qingping took the vial and looked at it suspiciously.Lin Mei continued to say: "Don't worry, I just want to give birth to a child for the emperor!" Qingping glanced at her and put away the porcelain vase.

Lin Mei looked at him, her winking eyes were like silk, shining brightly. "I knew you would help me!" As she spoke, she tiptoed and pressed a kiss on Qingping's lips.Qing Ping was stunned for a moment, but Lin Mei left with a bright smile.

Qingping sorted out her thoughts and continued walking.Entering the banquet hall, I saw life was noisy and the cups were messed up.Everyone looked a little bit drunk, so they became a little unscrupulous.Qingping found it very interesting to see the dignified minister with a disheveled beard and a serious expression in the court hall.He glanced around, and saw that Murong Su's seat was empty, and he was not in the hall.He also looked at Yang Xian on the throne, who was holding a glass of wine and handing it to Empress Chen who was beside him. Chen Huilan couldn't refuse, so she had to drink it.He's drunk, Qingping thought.Just right.wait for me.He muttered in his heart, and slipped out again quietly.Because of his brisk steps, he accidentally bumped into a person at the entrance of the hall.Qingping looked up, her eyes lit up, it happened to be Murong Su.The two looked at each other and smiled. "Brother Murong, where have you been? I'm looking for you everywhere!" Qingping said, stretching out her hand to pull him to a secluded place.Qingping saw the expression Murong Su looked at her, knew that he had seen through her tricks, so she had to apologize first: "I was rude in the previous thing, but I didn't mean to make fun of it, I just admired Brother Murong for a long time, and heard that Murong Brother Murong has a pure temperament, I was afraid that Brother Murong would dislike me from my humble background, so I made such a bad plan, please forgive me!"

Murong Su originally wanted to take the opportunity to tease Qingping, but now before he had time to say anything, he heard Qingping say a lot, and every word was humble and eloquent.It was funny, and thinking about myself, it was also very funny. "Qingping is humble, I am so envious that you have such magical powers of change!"

Time was running out, Qingping stopped being polite to him, and went straight to the point and talked about his plan.After hearing this, Murong Su was both surprised and excited.The eyes were looking straight at him, unbelievable. "This plan is still a bit risky, Brother Murong, be careful yourself. You will go back to the banquet hall and pretend to be drunk. I have to arrange the emperor before you leave. Wait for my news." After Qingping finished speaking, she glanced at Murong Su, turned and left .Murong Suyou stood there in a daze.
