Chapter 10 A Game

After the emperor, the queen and the concubine Yun sat down in turn, the people in the hall immediately stood up and worshipped from afar. Long live the mountain. Although I have 1.2 million unwillingness in my heart, I still have to kneel down and bow in front of the emperor.

"All the officials are in peace." Emperor Xuan's clear voice echoed in the hall.

After everyone fell to the throne again, the queen slowly said, "Today, the family held a banquet here. One is to thank all the beloved ministers for their dedication to the national community, and the other is to take this opportunity to let the daughters of each family show their talents in front of the hall and learn from each other."

The Queen spoke directly to the point without dragging the water. Unlike some modern leaders, it is always long to make a speech before a dinner party. You have to wait even if your hungry eyes are green.

Then the servant Gong'e filed in and put the delicacies on the case one by one. However, I was really not interested in the food of Nanyuan. After symbolically moving the chopsticks a few times, I began to sit and maintain Mona Lisa's smile.

"I have heard for a long time that the pearl on Yan Xiang's palm is as proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. I don't know if you would like to stroke the piano for everyone?" The queen spoke again, but she clicked on Yan Wanru.

"If you want to go back to your mother's words." Yan Wanru stood up generously, blessed deeply in front of her, and answered in a delicate voice.

The servant took the piano and put it in the hall. Yan Wan walked closer to the front. The plain hand gently plucked the strings, and a gentle ancient song came out melodiously. The sound of the piano is like a pearl falling on a jade plate, and the yellow warbler comes out of the valley, which makes people intoxicated for a moment.

The prince Nangong Xian, who was not far away, cast a look at her to appreciate. Yan Wan seemed to feel his eyes, and a faint blush appeared on Hao Ruo's cheeks.

At the end of the song, Nangong Xian first stroked his palm and praised it, and then the people who were still intoxicated in the aftert voice praised it.

"My daughter Wei Ziyin implores me to offer a song to cheer up Your Majesty and Empress." Wei Ziyin, the daughter of Wei Cheng, the left prime minister.

"Okay, I'm right. All of you, it seems that we are going to have a feast today. Xuandi laughed loudly, which made the originally restrained people suddenly relax a lot.

Wei Ziyin walked lightly to the hall, and then the servant presented the pipa. If her shoulders are cut, her waist is restrained, and if she holds the pipa, she will have a touching point of "still holding the pipa half covering her face".

Her hands are as soft as Shunhua. I feel even more sorry for playing the pipa. A pipa plays the jingling of the spring water, like a ring.

Wei Ziyin's eyes flowed, looking at Nangong Li, who was bowing her head and meditating, with autumn water in her eyes, affectionate style. Although Nangong Li was unaware of it, I saw all this in my eyes and felt dull pain in my heart.

The sound of the clear pipa gradually came to an end, and Emperor Xuan was happy to hear it and praised it.

To be fair, Wei Ziyin is not inferior to Yan Wanru in terms of appearance, talent or family background. On the contrary, she is more generous and calm than Yan Wanru.

With the momentum of Yan Wanru and Wei Ziyin, no one was willing to recommend themselves for a while.

So, I knew my opportunity had come.

Get up gracefully, ignoring the complex eyes handed over by the people around him, smiled at the emperor and said, "My daughter Yan Nianqing would like to offer a song."

Then the voice of Emperor Xuan suddenly came over his head: "It turned out to be the second girl of the Yan family, Yan Xiu, your house is really a crouching tiger and hidden dragon."

Yan Xiu, who was already shocked by my sudden behavior, couldn't say a word at this moment, so he had to bow down and said, "I'm scared."

"Nianqing has another request. I don't know if your majesty can agree." Since I want to play to the end, I will never be a chess piece that can be played with at will.

"Oh? Come and listen to it."

"Nianqing heard that His Royal Highness is blowing well. I don't know if Nianqing has the honor to invite His Royal Highness Taizi to play an ensemble song?" After saying that, I calmly turned my eyes to Nangong Xian.

When Nangong Xian saw me, his eyes suddenly stagnated, and then returned to normal.

Emperor Xuan pondered and said, "The ensemble? This is really interesting, Xian'er, what do you think?

Nang Gongxian smiled indifferently and said, "I would like to play a song with Miss Yan Er."

The servant took my dragonfly, and everyone was even more surprised to see it. Suddenly, there was a whisper in the hall. Emperor Xuan couldn't help asking, "Nianqing, what kind of musical instrument are you? How can it be so special?

"If you go back to the emperor, this musical instrument is called kong hou, which was accidentally given to Nianqing by my brother."

"This is a new object, so you can listen to it."

"Yes." After saying that, I quickly took a look at Nangong Li and found that his calm face was finally angry.

"Your Highness, can I choose a song?" I looked at Nangong Xian, and my smile gradually deepened.

"Miss Nianqing, please choose the song. I will cooperate with you." Nangong Xian is indeed a beautiful son.

"Nianqing's song is called 'Fangcao ruthless'. Please listen to it, Your Highness." I'm really ashamed to spit out my tongue secretly. I'm always stealing the wisdom of the people of my era.

After saying that, I walked gracefully to the side and sat down. With his hands up, the sound of the piano slowly swings like water waves in the hall. After playing a few bars, Nangong Xian has leisurely blown the jade flute. He is regarded as Qin Xiao Xianghe, and there is no trace of discord. I was shocked and couldn't help but admire it.

His eyes are as charming as silk, and he looks at Nangong Xian with a smile between his lips. The scene is looking forward to be brilliant and seductive. Looking at Nangong Li witnessing this scene, he couldn't help clenging the golden jade cup in his hand, and the hollowed-out gold silk was deeply trapped in the palm of his hand.

He withdrew his eyes and restrained his mind, opened his lips slightly, and sang the words melodly: "

Blue clouds and yellow leaves.

Autumn waves, cold smoke on the waves.

The mountain reflects the setting sun and the sky is connected with water, and the grass is ruthlessly outside the setting sun.

The soul of the dark countryside, chasing travel thoughts,

Unless, good dreams keep people awake.

Mingyue Building is high and resting alone,

The wine enters the sad intestines and turns into tears of lovesickness..."

Sing to "Wine into sorrow, turn into tears of lovesickness." At that time, I looked at Nangong Li quietly, and there was uncontrollable pain on his handsome face.

I sneered from the bottom of my heart. Why was I so open-minded when I was asked to marry someone else yesterday? Today, I just saw me playing with others. Why is it so heartbreaking?

Thinking about it, I suddenly feel wronged. I don't know why I did this. Is this move right or wrong? If it's wrong, everything I do today is just a laughing stock.

Unconsciously, his cheeks were cold, and a tear rolled down and hit his boneless wrist. It's too late for me to hide it. All this is really seen by Nangong Xianzhen.

A clear look flashed in his eyes. At the end of the song, Nangong Xian gently stretched out his hand to me, gently pulled me up, handed a veil to my hand, and sighed, "Miss Nianqing, Nangong Xian is convinced."

I nod to Nangong Xian and said, "Nianqing is ugly." Qiaoxiao Yanran returned to my seat.

"Okay, okay! Haha----It's not easy for you to be convinced by Xian'er. Emperor Xuan said loudly on the dragon chair.

After listening to Emperor Xuan's words, the ministers looked left and right, and then burst into a thunderous applause.

I was flattered and thanked everyone one by one. Looking at Yan Wanru, her face turned red with anger. I raised my eyes and looked at her smile as well. She was so angry that she turned her face directly and didn't look at me.

The moment I looked back, I saw Wei Ziyin facing me raising her glass from afar, with sincere eyes. So I also picked up the wine cup in front of me and responded to her. She drank all the wine in the glass with a smile. She was really a bright and cheerful woman.

The palace banquet lasted for almost two hours, and several "high official" daughter were ordered to perform after me. However, their skills were mediocre and everyone was not boring to hear, so the banquet ended like this.

In the carriage back to Yanfu, Yan Xiu finally couldn't help having an attack. He pointed to my nose and asked me who asked me to play the piano. I told him with a mocking smile that it was not what they said would make me do what I would do. I am a person and I have my own ideas.

Yan Xiu was so angry that he trembled with me. So Yan Wanru next to him finally couldn't help questioning me.

Looking at her street shrew, I couldn't help laughing and asked her, "Does my sister think that without a sister, Her Royal Highness will definitely marry her sister? Sister, don't forget that there is also a sister Ziyin.

Yan Wanru was speechless for a moment, so she had to sit down and sulk.

Back to Yan's house, Yan Xiu went straight back to the top. Yan Liang stopped me and tried her best to sneer and sarcastically. When she finally stopped, I said leisurely, "What the aunt taught me a lesson is that Nianqing wrote it down. But it's really tiring to play a song with Your Highness today. Please allow Nianqing to go back to your room to rest first.

After saying that, I went back to the backyard without returning.

As soon as I stepped into the yard, I saw Huaishu standing in the courtyard. Only then did I remember that I asked Yan Fu to take Huaishu to Qianwei Pavilion early this morning.

When Huaishu saw me, he immediately ran over and grabbed me and said, "Sister, you're back. Huaishu has been waiting for a long time."

"Huisho, why are you waiting in the yard? It will be cool at night. Go back to the house quickly. After saying that, he pulled his book into the house.

Who knew that as soon as he entered the room, he saw Yan Yingchen sitting in my room with a black face.

"Brother..." I called out softly.

"Nian'er, you are so confused. When did your brother teach you to do this? It can be seen that Yan Yingchen is trying his best to suppress his anger.

"Brother, do you know all about it?"

"How can I not know that you are so bold?" Yan Yingchen was furious.

"What about me? I just don't want to be played between applause." Why is everyone blamed like this?

"I'm so sorry for saying that."

"Sorry? What am I sorry for him? I'm sorry that he couldn't send me into another man's arms? Oh, they are so ridiculous.

"Nianer, do you know..."

"Okay, brother, stop talking, I'm tired. I want to rest." I interrupted Yan Yingchen. I don't know why, I vaguely feel that there seems to be an unknown truth hidden behind this matter, and now I'm afraid to know it.

Yan Yingchen sighed, but said nothing more. As soon as he pushed the door and left, I said, "Brother, today is just my unfruitful move. But no matter what, I will lose. Because I bet on my life, and the ending is undecided, maybe I am still Yi's side concubine. You----don't blame me."

I thought Yan Yingchen would turn around and leave directly, but he said, "Now, you can't be Yi's side concubine."
