Pei Wenxuan's erhu sound seems to be giving Li Rong chords, but it is completely different from the drum sound next to it. Li Rong is fast and slow, and Li Rong is slow and fast, but it is a strange fusion. There is something inexplicable in the abruptness...
Everyone was a little shocked. Li Ming turned his head and asked Gu Zi, the minister of rites who was best at rhythm, and said, "Gu Shangshu, is this "Pingchuan Entrance Song" played like this?"
Gu Zidao twirled his pale beard and closed his eyes to listen carefully. After Li Ming asked, he slowly opened his eyes, turned his head, and respectfully said to Li Ming: "Your Majesty, the original "Pingchuan Entrance Song" is naturally not played like this. Yes, the cooperation between His Royal Highness Pingle, His Highness Huale, and Su Shilang's piano, flute, and drums was very orthodox, but the subsequent addition of Erhu by Consort Pei is an innovative move."
Li Ming turned the beads in his hand and nodded: "It's not bad."
"The addition of the erhu, Consort Pei, is very different from the past "Hirakawa Entry Song", but it has a few other meanings. The previous "Hirakawa Entry Song" depicted that King Hirakawa led his troops into the battle. The bloody scene of slaughtering the Quartet, but after this erhu is added, it will feel a bit more desolate. This erhu is added in the last stanza of the song, just to describe the corpse and the suffering of the people in the later period of the war. I filled in a lot of artistic conceptions, which enhanced the level of the music. Unfortunately, Concubine Pei is obviously not good at erhu, and Shi Lang Su does not often use drums." Gu Zidao laughed, "If the master played it, it would be even more brilliant. But the artistic conception of the two has already reached. , it is a pleasure to be able to enjoy the singing of the two young people in the main hall."
When Gu Zidao commented, the music faded away and applause broke out from the audience, mostly discussing the changes after the erhu was added to the music, but Li Cheng and Hua Le had long since been forgotten.
Hua Le was still able to bear it, but when Li Cheng saw this, he was so angry that he threw the sword in his hand and rushed back to Concubine Rou with tears in his eyes.
Hua Le's face was not very good either, but she was old after all and couldn't be as willful as Li Cheng. Li Rong stood up, walked over to Hua Le, and said with a smile, "My sister plays the flute well."
"Sister is laughing." Hua Le smiled reluctantly and returned to his position without saying much.
Li Rong and Pei Wenxuan were just seated when they heard Pei Wenxuan say softly, "I play the piano very well, I can't even hold back my mood to show off."
"Lord Pei might as well let it go," Li Rong said with a smile on her face, her lips twitching, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "If the musician hadn't tightened his suona, I'm afraid you'd have to play the sad music in court. Are you up?"
"You look down on me too much," Pei Wenxuan used the same voice, leaning his head gently on Li Rong, "I am broad-minded, and I can play you a happy "Good Marriage" today."
"you… "
Li Rong still wanted to answer, but before she spoke, she was interrupted by a loud compliment.
"Today, I played the qin well, the flute was good, the drums were good, and the erhu...played well," Li Ming said happily, "The most important thing is, the sword of King Su, dance well! You have to be imposing! This is what my big summer man should be like, what do you think?"
The audience was silent, a little embarrassed. After a while, Gu Zidao, the old slicker, was the first to speak out and said with a smile, "Your Majesty is right, it is rare for Prince Su to have such vigor at such a young age. King Su's ability to secure peace, one literary and one martial arts, and the unity of the brothers, is the blessing of His Majesty, and the blessing of the Great Xia Society!"
"Master Gu is right." Su Minzhi laughed, and followed Gu Zidao to say something that praised both Li Chuan and Li Cheng, so that they were not offended, and finally someone started to speak.
You said something to me, and the scene finally became lively. When Li Ming saw that the ministers did not answer him, it was hard to say anything, but he seemed to be a little unwilling, so he turned to look at Li Chuan and asked, "Prince Prince You see, your elder sisters and younger siblings are all thinking about doing something to congratulate the Chinese New Year. As a prince, what are your thoughts now?"
"My son is not like a few who are good at dancing," Li Chuan said in a steady voice. "In the future, he can only be diligent in courtiers, and he should share the worries of the father and the emperor, and benefit the common people."
"Pleasant words, nice to say." Li Ming snorted coldly, Li Chuan pretended not to hear Li Ming's sarcasm, Li Ming was silent for a while, and said directly: "You are seventeen now, choose The matter of the crown princess should also be put on the agenda, when are you going to delay it?"
Hearing this, Li Rong raised her heart. She was afraid that Li Chuan would refuse like this, and was about to open her mouth to relieve Li Chuan when she heard Li Chuan calmly say: "My son has never meant to refuse, listen to the father, the queen, and the mother. order."
Li Rong was a little surprised for a while. She didn't expect Li Chuan to receive it so smoothly. Li Chuan responded like this, and Li Ming couldn't say anything more. He only said: "Then after the spring, you can prepare to choose a concubine."
"Yes."
Li Chuan said it respectfully. Li Ming saw that Li Chuan was a soft and hard person, so he turned his head and rewarded all the four people who played. After waiting for a while, he ended the palace banquet hastily.
As soon as Li Ming left, everyone dispersed, some went to the Imperial Garden to sober up, and some simply left.
Li Chuan and the others drank a lot more, and seemed to be out of alcohol. The minister waved his hand and left by himself. Li Rong saw Li Chuan get up and walk towards the waterfront. She patted Pei Wenxuan's hand and lowered her voice: "I'll go back when I go, and you help me cover it up."
After Li Rong finished speaking, without waiting for Pei Wenxuan to reply, she quickly got up and followed Li Chuan out.
Li Chuan was served by a eunuch and walked all the way to the waterside pavilion. Li Rong quietly followed behind him, and saw that he was tall and slender, and seemed to have grown a bit taller. It vaguely coincided with the emperor who was so thin and lost his popularity in her memory, which made her feel a little flustered.
Li Chuan walked to the Huxin Pavilion and asked people to let down the curtains. Li Rong walked in and saw Li Chuan sitting at the long table. When he saw Li Rong walking in, he laughed: "Why is my sister here too?"
"It's boring in the main hall," Li Rong hesitated, "I'll come out and have a hair dryer."
Saying that, she walked across to Li Chuan and sat down: "Did they give you too much alcohol?"
Li Chuan laughed: "How is it possible? None of them dared to feed me, they just came out because they didn't want to stay."
"Your marriage..." Li Rong hesitated, but before she finished speaking, Li Chuan interrupted her directly: "Sister, let me ask you a question."
Li Rong looked up at him, she knew that Li Chuan would not ask casual questions.
She hesitated for a moment, but still said: "You ask."
"If," Li Chuan smiled wryly, "I mean, if I rejected the royal father today, would you help me?"
"I will." Li Rong answered without hesitation, and Li Chuan nodded lightly, "I know, I always knew," Li Chuan's voice was a little hoarse, "Sister is the best for me."
"Chuan'er," Li Rong looked at Li Chuan and felt a little uncomfortable, "Actually, you can refuse today."
"And what about the next time?" Li Chuan asked directly, "I can't keep rejecting others like this, for a lifetime. Willfulness comes at a price."
"Sister," Li Chuan paused. After hesitating for a long time, he said slowly, "I am sorry for the Qin family. It is also me... I am sorry for Qin Zhenzhen."
"If I had promised to marry Sister Ya," Li Chuan was at a loss, "would the Qin family not have been framed?"
"no."
Li Rong replied decisively, and Li Chuan looked up at her, wondering, "No?"
Li Rong hesitated for a moment, and after a long time, she slowly said: "Chuan'er, in fact, no matter what you do, Sister A will support you, and you don't have to feel wronged."
Li Chuan didn't speak. He lowered his eyes and looked at the tea in his hand. After a long time, he laughed: "Sister, I'm actually very strange. I don't know when you started to treat me. No matter what I do, you are willing to support. Why?"
"I'm your sister," Li Rong said seriously, "I hope you have a good life, and it will always be like this."
"Then tell me the truth," Li Chuan stared at her, "Did I do it right?"
Li Rong was speechless for a while, and Li Chuan looked at her quietly: "I am in this palace, I hope to marry someone I like, and I also hope that the person who wants to marry me will marry only if they really like it, sister, do you think it should be? "
Before Li Rong could speak, Li Chuan took a deep breath: "No. I was very happy when you stood by my side for the first time, sister, but since the day the Qin family was in trouble, I regretted it."
"When Qin Zhenzhen leaves, I'll see her off," Li Chuan closed his eyes, he put one hand on his knee and the other supported himself, "I thought at that time, if I marry according to my mother's wishes After going to Shangguanya, and then taking a few more side rooms according to the wishes of the father and the ministers, this is actually just a group of beasts biting in the circle, I am a beast, and so is the other party, and it will never harm passers-by."
"But I was not reconciled, I was sympathetic, sympathetic to the person who married me, and sympathetic to myself, so I hurt the Qin family."
"The queen mother is right," Li Chuan put the cup on the table, he propped himself up, "I can no longer act recklessly on the basis of the love of my sister and my mother for me, don't worry about my sister, I figured it out. The woman who gets married knows what the palace looks like and will come, so naturally she won't be sad because of love."
"I can't trouble my sister. I'm the crown prince. It's all trivial matters. Sister, don't worry," Li Chuan laughed. "I'll take care of it, don't worry about it. A man, I'm fine."
After Li Chuan finished speaking, he looked around: "I can't let people see you and I talk for so long, I'll go first."
With that said, Li Chuan left first.
Li Rong was sitting in the Huxin Pavilion. After a long time, she turned her head to look at Li Chuan, and saw that there was a faint shadow of an adult in Li Chuan's back.
Li Rong sat in the Huxin Pavilion for a while, then stood up and walked to the main hall. There were not many people left in the main hall. Pei Wenxuan was still sitting in the seat waiting for her. After she was seated, Pei Wenxuan glanced at her face. He seemed to want to say something, but stopped.
After a while, he finally said: "It's getting late, let's go home first."
Li Rong nodded, Pei Wenxuan instructed someone to prepare the carriage, and then someone went to get a cloak, put it on Li Rong, and tied the belt for her.
Seeing how caring he was, Li Rong couldn't help laughing and whispered, "I thought you were still mad at me."
"I'm angry," Pei Wenxuan tied the knot, straightened his clothes, put his hands in his sleeves, turned and walked outside the temple, and said calmly, "Anyway, Your Highness won't coax me, and it's not me bowing my head in the end. What can I do with Joe?"
Li Rong felt a little funny when she heard this, she walked over to Pei Wenxuan and explained in a low voice, "I got up today mainly because I don't want Concubine Rou to get her wish. Hua Le playing a child is a piece of chess for Concubine Rou's marriage, Hua Le She also knew in her heart that she would not choose such a song for no reason and ask Su Rongqing to accompany her. She did this today to let the world know that Concubine Rou and the Su family have a good relationship. In this way, the Han family who follow Concubine Rou, It will also give you a little more confidence. And if Su Rongqing takes her position seriously today, with the temperament of the father, maybe it is possible to designate a marriage."
"Your Majesty can't really point to marriage."
Pei Wenxuan calmly analyzed: "Nowadays, Hua Le's marriage to Su Rongqing is still high. If Su Rongqing refuses to marry in court, it will be difficult for His Majesty to deal with it. He will not dare to gamble."
"And another reason," Pei Wenxuan stopped and turned to look at her, "I'll accept it for now, but I still feel uncomfortable and eye-catching. What do you think?"
Li Rong tapped the palm of her hand with her fan and sighed, "After all, I don't think you're angry at all."
Pei Wenxuan raised her eyebrows, and Li Rong raised her eyes. Her eyes were clear, and she said helplessly, "You just want to take advantage."
"His Royal Highness is joking," Pei Wenxuan directly retorted and said solemnly, "Weichen is not..."
Before she finished speaking, Li Rong jumped directly into Pei Wenxuan's arms, raised her arms around his waist, and hugged him tightly.
Pei Wenxuan's voice stopped abruptly. His body was a little stiff. People around him couldn't help but look at them. Li Rong raised his head and looked up at Pei Wenxuan. He asked innocently, "Are you still angry?"
Pei Wenxuan looked into Li Rong's eyes, knowing that Li Rong was digging a hole for him to jump in, but in the end he could only answer honestly: "Don't be angry anymore."
"Then do you want to take advantage of me?"
Li Rong continued to ask questions, swearing to the death that Pei Wenxuan was looking for an opportunity to take advantage of this matter.
Pei Wenxuan sighed, somewhat helpless: "Can I not want to?"
After finishing speaking, Pei Wenxuan raised his hand and pulled Li Rong's hand off, pulling her forward: "Okay, you won, go home."
Li Rong couldn't help laughing when she heard Pei Wenxuan's words, she took the initiative to hold Pei Wenxuan's hand, and put her head forward: "Pei Wenxuan."
"What else is there to order, Your Highness?" Pei Wenxuan was holding hands by her, looking like he was about to go up the mountain of swords and go down to the sea of fire.
Li Rong laughed, and she whispered, "Am I coaxing you?"
Pei Wenxuan was stunned for a moment. He suddenly realized that Li Rong, who was just now, was really trying to coax him
He couldn't speak for a while, and he felt a little joy in his heart, but he felt that he should be prudent. He walked in the dark, and when he passed through the palace gate, a shadow shrouded him. They were in the short darkness, and Pei Wenxuan replied softly: "Yes."
