Qi Wuwu smiled softly: "It's just to meet His Majesty. Besides, how old are you? You haven't graduated from Yunxiao Academy, how can you be an official? Your Majesty gave you the 'Bachelor of Literature', just to encourage you."
"Oh, all right."
Qi Ying breathed a sigh of relief.
Naturally, he didn't want to be a literati. In his opinion, the skill of reciting poems and composing poems was of no use except to seduce some ignorant girls. Wasting time on such boring things would delay his cultivation.
Qi Yiwu added: "Later, in the palace, you must behave better and don't cause trouble like last time. When you need to kowtow, kowtow as you should, and treat it as a New Year greeting to His Majesty. Do you understand? Your Majesty is happy and will reward you. Good stuff, it’s much more precious than the lucky money you get from kowtowing in the New Year!”
"clear!"
…
The inner hall of the palace.
"Greetings to Your Majesty!"
Qi Ying saluted respectfully and did not stand up until Ji Yingou said with a smile.
Ji Yingou's eyes wandered on Qi Ying for a long time, then he smiled and said to Qi Weiwu: "Huhou, your great-grandson is really unexpected. Not only is he talented in cultivation, he has rich practical experience, he can even write poems and songs. With his brilliant strokes, the entire young generation of the kingdom cannot find another young man who can compare with him in all aspects. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the 'number one son' of the kingdom."
"so far so good."
Qi Yiwu was not very modest either. Hearing Ji Yingou praise Qi Ying, he felt very comfortable.
Next, Ji Yingou said a few words of encouragement to Qi Ying, hoping that he would continue his efforts, reach a higher level of cultivation as soon as possible, and create more popular poems and songs. He quickly said: "I have a few words. I want to tell Hu Hou, Qi Ying, you go to the side hall to play with Luo Xue for a while, I will call you later, and you come back."
"yes."
Qi Ying did not stay long in the inner hall and quickly walked to the side hall.
The decoration of the side hall here is light and elegant, with a fresh fragrance floating around and the melodious sound of the piano echoing. Qi Ying saw Ji Luoxue, who was stroking the paulownia harp, and the sound of the harp came from her beating fingertips.
"Qi Ying has met His Highness."
Apart from saying hello, Qi Ying didn't know what to say.
Instead, Ji Luoxue stopped her movements when she heard the words, raised her head, and showed a touching smile: "It's Bachelor Qi here! Luoxue has composed a new song in the past two days, and I'm waiting for you to write lyrics for it!"
"Well."
Qi Ying's heart skipped a beat.
Want bad food!
No matter how he is a bachelor, he clearly memorizes poetry.
The songs from those days just happened to coincide with each other, and now I have a new arrangement, which I can write a lot about!
I estimate that my own level, even if I don't write a poem like "eating thirty thousand moon cakes in one bite", is no better than an ordinary poem like "there are mirrors in the lake on the ground, and a white jade plate in the sky".
"Ahem." Qi Ying cleared her throat, "Your Highness, I have been tired from practicing in the past few days, and my mind is a little unclear. I'm afraid I won't be able to write any poems... You can play a song first, and I will finish it for you when I get home."
"OK!"
Ji Luoxue smiled sweetly, and the moment of surprise made Qi Ying swallow her mouth and spit.
I have to admit that this Princess Luoxue is really a peerless beauty that can drive people crazy!
clank…
The sound of the piano sounded, and Qi Ying listened carefully. In fact, he knows more about music theory than poetry. He can also identify musical symbols by listening to sounds. With his strong memory, he can roughly copy down a piece of music after listening to it carefully.
As for the lyrics...
When the time comes, I can just copy the music back and hire someone to write the lyrics!
Soon, the song ended, Qi Ying smiled slightly: "Your Highness's compositional achievements are already extraordinary. Even if this song is better than those famous songs that have been circulated for thousands of years, it is not much different. It is even better than some popular songs nowadays. I don’t know where to go! If I could, I would really like to listen to your highness’s music every day. Compared with yours, your highness, other people’s music is like a toad.”
I thought that the symbolic praise was nothing more than symbolic self-effacement, but when Ji Luoxue heard this, she suddenly blushed and lowered her head shyly: "Young Master Qi really thinks so? Then, if you have time, you can Come to the palace more often, and I will play the best music I have created for you every time."
"Well… "
Qi Ying suddenly came back to his senses.
If you really want to be an ordinary person, the most people can do is be polite to you. But now, he is the most famous talent in the capital! The four poems overwhelmed all the literati in the entire royal capital. Any words related to poetry or music might be enshrined by others as golden rules.
It's over.
A casual compliment seems to stick to Princess Luoxue's candy!
But no matter what, the princess would never dare to refuse her kindness.
"It would be great if Qi Ying really has that honor."
Qi Ying said sarcastically. Anyway, it's just polite words. At worst, I won't come to see the princess in the future, and if I see the princess outside, I'll just hide away, right
"Since Mr. Qi likes to listen to my music, shall I play a few more songs for you?"
Ji Luoxue smiled sweetly, a smile that others could not refuse.
"Um… "
So Qi Ying sat on the bench in the side hall, closed her eyes slightly, and listened to Ji Luoxue playing one song after another, gradually feeling particularly comfortable.
I thought to myself, the princess is great at playing the piano, the music is even more relaxing, and it is also eye-catching to watch. If she had such a piano girl at home, she would probably even practice two points faster.
"No! How can you bring other women into your home? It's a sin!"
Qiying quickly suppressed her evil thoughts.
After finishing several songs, both Qi Ying and Ji Luoxue had some unfinished thoughts. At this time, a palace maid came over and said, "Scholar Qi, Your Majesty will let you pass."
Qi Ying nodded, and then said goodbye to Ji Luoxue: "Goodbye, Your Highness... The sound of your piano is really nice."
Ji Luoxue's smile is still as captivating as ever: "Then I will listen to it more in the future! There is a poem that says, 'A heart-breaking song, where can I find a close friend at the end of the world?' It is not easy to find a close friend in the music." "
"Um."
Qi Ying left in a hurry. He was afraid that if he looked at this charming princess one more time, he would really fall into her quagmire.
Beautiful women are poisonous!
…
"What? On the full moon festival day, I am going to awaken my martial spirit with a group of people in the palace?"
Qi Ying was shocked by the news she just heard.
Ji Yingou smiled: "Yes! I have notified all the aristocratic families and clans. Their children who have recently broken through the Lingwu Realm and have not yet awakened their martial souls have suspended their awakenings and will wait until the Full Moon Festival before awakening their martial souls!" When the time comes, hundreds of geniuses from the Kingdom will awaken their martial spirits one after another. How spectacular will that scene be? It will be the most grand event during the Full Moon Festival in the Royal Capital!"
