The Emperor's Favorite: The Beauty Disturbs the World

Chapter 358

After Wu Chongyi passed away, Chang Xi, who was the same queen, held a grand funeral for her as a first-class concubine. Originally, the birthday king Li Mao's marriage was to be postponed, but Li Longji was afraid that Chang Xi would go too far because of Meier's affairs. Heartbroken, she insisted on holding a grand wedding banquet for King Shou after the fall.

Under Shou Wang's repeated pleadings, Chang Xi agreed to the request of the main concubine Yuniang and the side concubine Qingying to enter the door together, but the Ministry of Rites still made a detailed agreement, that is, Yuniang enters through the main entrance of the Shou Wang's mansion an hour earlier. , Turn around the screen wall and live in the main courtyard, while Qingying can only go to the other courtyard through the side door an hour later to show the order of dignity.

After Mei Er's death, Chang Xi used the person she trusted the most in Chang'an except Li Longji to help her investigate the matter. Although the real culprit has not yet been found out, that person collected a lot. According to my own news, it seems that Li Ying planned all of this behind the scenes!Regarding this, Chang Xi was even more worried about Li Ying's intentions in sending Qing Ying into Shou Wang's mansion. At first, she thought it was a modest move by Li Ying to reconcile with Mao'er, but now she suddenly realized how stupid she was at that time!However, Mao'er sincerely likes Qing Ying, and Chang Xi doesn't dare to act recklessly.

Li Linfu was very pleased with Chang Xi's change, and Wu Zhong and Wu Xin increased their threat to Li Ying. For a moment, the two forces were at war, and they were on the verge of breaking out!

The wedding of the King of Shou means the further expansion of power. This alarming wedding banquet in Chang'an gathered all the clans, nobles, ministers and wives of the Tang Dynasty, so that the skirts and temples in the Hall of Datong were filled with staggered cups and cups, and it was very lively!The time outside is passing by little by little, but the hall is still brightly lit. Dozens of five-star lampstands are lined up on both sides of the hall. Wine and delicacies are placed on rows of wooden tables in the hall. Against the background, the ripples of light red are rippling, adding to the twists and turns.Hundreds of musicians played a song "Luan Feng He Ming" in the southwest corner, beating chime bells and other musical instruments.

Li Longji and Chang Xi dressed up and sat on the main seat, looking at the couple standing on the ground.

Li Mao was wearing a red and black auspicious suit, pulling one end of a long red silk ribbon, and the other end was holding the unparalleled beauty of Yuniang wearing a pearl curtain.

Li Yao looked at the slender Concubine Shou Wang Zhengfei and snorted, "Siblings and sisters are so beautiful, why don't you let everyone see them, and insist on covering your face with a pearl curtain?"

Li Heng said with a smile: "The stunning looks of younger siblings are naturally only for the eighteenth brother!"

"It's not like I haven't seen it on the day of the general election!" Li Ju muttered.

Amidst the deep and profound sound of the chime bells, King Shou stiffly completed the bowing ceremony with the woman beside him.

Li Heng stepped forward to bless him and said: "Congratulations to the eighteenth brother! The third brother has nothing good to give you, so I will give this white jade Guanyin to you and your younger siblings. I wish the eighteenth brother an early son!" While joking, Zhong Wang's newly married Ji's concubine, Mrs. Zhang, has already brought up a radiant white jade Guanyin.

The two got married a month earlier than Li Mao, but because the Zhang family was not married as a concubine, and the loyal king Li Hengsu was not favored, the wedding banquet was not publicized. In terms of ostentation and luxury, it could not be compared with the wedding banquet of King Shou !But Mrs. Zhang was not annoyed at all. I heard people say that the husband and wife are like glue and have a very good relationship. Mrs. Zhang is also well-behaved. She comes to the Jiaofang Hall to greet Chang Xi almost every day. Chang Xi is quite happy to see that she is peaceful. satisfy.

With delicate steps, Mrs. Zhang handed the White Jade Avalokitesvara into Yuniang's hands. When Yuniang touched her hands, she felt that the curvature of the White Jade Avalokitesvara was extremely soft, obviously it was the best jade. It took a lot of time to choose the gift, and he smiled slightly at the moment, and said with a smile: "Thank you, His Royal Highness Zhongwang!"

Seeing this, everyone took out their congratulatory gifts one after another. For a while, gifts piled up like a mountain in the Hall of Great Harmony.

Prince Li Ying stepped forward at the right time and said with a smile: "Second brother wants to give this Guqin to Brother Mao, hoping that Brother Mao and his siblings will be in harmony with each other!" .

Princess Xianyi didn't understand music theory, so when she saw the zither, she teased and said: "Did you dare to think that the second brother is busy with state affairs and has no time to choose gifts? Why did you give the eighteenth brother such a cheap thing? It looks like a piece of music. An ordinary guqin! What's so precious about it?"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone in the palace fell silent. This Princess Xianyi was obviously mocking the crown prince for not paying attention to King Shou, and not paying attention to Concubine Hui?If you don't pay attention to Concubine Hui, it's just that - everyone looked thoughtfully at Li Longji who was sitting upright behind the case.

Li Longji smiled slightly, "Xianyi, you don't know how to play the piano, what nonsense are you talking about!"

Princess Xianyi muttered, "My son is telling the truth!"

Li Ju said angrily: "What gift did the princess give Princess Shou?"

"Here!" Princess Xianyi took an exquisite box from the handmaiden behind her, took out a phoenix hairpin with tendrils and wings and three tails with green tassels, and waved it proudly in front of Li Ju.The Qu Feng on it is lifelike, with eyes inlaid with night pearls, a round orb in its mouth, and a golden tassel hooked under the orb. The most rare thing is the emerald dots on the tail of Qu Feng, with a few peacock feathers stuck to it. On the top, it adds a bit of noble and mysterious atmosphere to the luxurious hairpin inlaid with gold and jade!

"This little thought is for the younger siblings to make up the makeup box! I hope the younger siblings like it!" Princess Xianyi kindly handed the hairpin to Zhe Zhe, Yuniang's personal maid.

Chang Xi smiled and said, "Princess's gift is exquisite and practical, but according to this palace, the crown prince's gift is not bad either!"

This was originally Chang Xi's excuse for the prince's shabby gift, but people in Tang Dynasty love music, and music is one of the six arts of Confucianism, so most of the literati are good at playing the guqin. Feiyu turned out to be a guqin, and everyone became very interested.

Li Linfu smiled and said: "According to what I saw, the Guqin gifted by the crown prince is not extraordinary. This Qin has a thick shape, a round head and a retracted double curved waist. It looks like Fuxi's family!"

"Fu Xi's family?" Li Longji knew the rhythm very well, so he became interested at this time.

Li Yao took this opportunity and said loudly: "Second brother worked so hard to get this from a family of Tibetan pianos. According to the original owner, this piano is called 'Jiuxiao Huanpei'!" After finishing speaking, she stared at Xian Princess Yi took a look.

"Jiuxiao Huanpei?!" Everyone exclaimed in surprise.

Chang Xi wondered: "Your Majesty, what is this Nine Heavens Ring?"

Before Li Longji could answer, Yuniang stepped forward and said with a smile: "I want to report to my concubine, it is said that this 'Jiuxiao Huanpei' is an immortal product in the Qin. A pair of guards are made of red sandalwood, the four characters "Jiuxiao Huanpei" in seal script are engraved on the top of the pool on the back of the qin, and a poem is engraved on the foot of the qin!"

The eloquent and eloquent Yuniang made Li Longji highly admired. Shou Wang picked up the qin curiously and played with it. He saw the four big characters Jiuxiaohuanpei written on the back of the qin!At the moment, I also admire the knowledge and knowledge of this newlywed wife.

Li Longji smiled and said, "Do you know what poems are engraved on the qin's feet?"

Yuniang smiled and read aloud: "The misty spring breeze is soft, and the sound is ringing around. The new swallow language is hanging down, and the tiger and dragon are singing in the sea."

After reading a poem, there was thunderous applause in the hall, and the ministers were all praising Shou Wang's bride for her excellent insight.

Li Mao looked down at the guqin in his hand, and sure enough the poems on the qin's feet were exactly the same as what he had seen.

The prince smiled slightly, "Sister and brother are really knowledgeable!"

Li Longji also praised: "I heard that this Nine Heavens ring pendant, the sound of the piano is long and long, warm and loose, it is the fairy in the piano, it can be seen that Ying'er has worked hard for Mao'er's marriage!"

Li Ju glanced at the angry Princess Xianyi, meaning what else do you have to say?Li Yao stood up and said with a smile: "Among us brothers, the second brother loves the eighteenth brother the most. When I got married a few years ago, I didn't see the second brother come up with such a good gift!"

"That's it! The second brother still loves the eighteenth brother!" Li Hengyu said earnestly.

Li Hao was also moved and said: "Second brother, how can I afford such a precious thing for me!"

"It's not precious, it's just Zhang Guqin! If you want to say it's precious, nothing is as precious as our brother's affection. If you like this piano, my second brother will be very happy!" Li Ying said sincerely and humbly, not only let everyone present Even Li Longji nodded slowly.

Chang Xi frowned, and sneered in her heart: When did Li Ying become such a duplicity, hypocritical hypocrite?
Li Heng said with a smile: "It's such a good piano, and the emperor praised the long sound of the piano, why don't you ask your younger siblings to play a song for everyone, so that we can open our eyes!"

Yu Niang is really good at playing the piano, but there are so many concubines in the palace, and there is Concubine Wu Hui by her side, how dare she show off!Just about to refuse, Li Longji smiled and said: "Let's play a piece! I also want to appreciate the peerless piano sound of Jiuxiao Huanpei!"

"Abiding by the order!" Yuniang couldn't shirk anymore, took the Yaoqin from Zhezhe, put it on the table, and thought about what would be the best way to play a song?Thinking about it for a while, I already have some concerns, so why not just play a song to keep my face, I heard that this song is the favorite of His Majesty and Concubine Hui, and it is in line with today's scene, and it shows my love for King Shou Full of infatuation, she raised her bare hands slightly and plucked the strings.

With the sound of 'Xian Weng', Yuniang narrowed her eyes, Li Longji also frowned slightly, touched the strings again, and there was a chaotic sound, which disturbed everyone's mind. However, what flows out of his finger is not some fairy music, but more and more piercing noises!

The musicians who were supposed to make the music for Yuniang all stopped in amazement. How could such a chaotic sound make the rest of the instruments match it?
Chang Xi looked at Li Linfu underground with probing eyes: Yuniang can't play the piano?Is Li Ying deliberately making his daughter-in-law make a fool of himself at the wedding banquet and become the laughing stock of the royal family?Or something else?

Li Linfu was also very surprised, looking at Chang Xi told her to calm down!It stands to reason that this Yuniang should not be good at playing the piano, otherwise how could she rashly play the piano according to the order?Qin must have been tampered with!
The more Yu Niang played, the more frightened she became. Who did this?Prince?Because I failed to enter the palace to confuse Li Longji according to his wishes, and let myself make a fool of myself at the wedding, teach myself a little lesson?wrong!wrong!This piano was given by him in front of everyone, how dare he touch it!

Listening to the chaotic sound of the piano and seeing the changing expressions of everyone in the hall, Li Longji swung his sleeves and shouted: "Enough!"

Yu Niang was startled, she quickly let go of her hands, and knelt on the ground, and the rest of the people were silent when they saw Li Longji angry.

Chang Xi said aggrievedly: "Ying'er, today is a great day for your eighteenth brother, why do you bother?"

　Mae is dead.. .Let's track down the real culprit together!
