Forced to marry as a concubine: the prince is too presumptuous

Chapter 68
He kept squinting at him, just wanting to find out which woman his eyes would linger on more often. He had an intuition that the former owner of the vase might be in the Ganxin Temple.

But no, Yan Mo has always been sitting upright, and has never cared about any of the women present.

Or, her feeling was wrong, or, that woman was not in the Ganxin Hall at this time, but just an ordinary maid in the palace.

But if it is really an ordinary palace maid, then it would be easy for him to ask the emperor casually, so why bother to long for a vase?

After thinking about it, the dishes were placed on the table one after another. Every time the food was put on, a woman would try it quietly, but Ximo only took a few mouthfuls before putting down the chopsticks. Really no appetite, no mood at all.

Yankang's concubines are so beautiful, each has its own special features, it is also pleasing to watch quietly.

At the banquet, from time to time, concubines came forward to toast Yankang, saying some seasonal blessings and the like, everyone's faces were filled with smiles, which made people feel so beautiful.

During the banquet, songs and dances were being performed in the middle of the hall. Everything was so harmonious that Ximo couldn't help but feel relieved. Maybe she was worrying too much, but she still couldn't figure out how Yan Mo tried every means to bring her in. What is the palace for.

Just as he was thinking about it, Yan Mo's voice suddenly came in a low voice, "Mo'er, let's toast the emperor."

"Ah..." She groaned and regained her senses, but she didn't react for a while.

Yan Mo put a glass of wine in her hand, "Let's go."

"Oh." Ximo had no choice but to stand up following Yan Mo, logically, she should have toasted the emperor, but at this moment, walking beside Yan Mo, her heart couldn't help but flustered.

Walking slowly, the eyes of the people in the hall have inadvertently landed on her, and she has attracted the attention of many people.

"Your Majesty, my concubine suddenly has a headache. It may be because I drank a few more glasses just now. Your Majesty..."

In front of him, the queen was rubbing her forehead and whispering, but the voice was just good enough for Yan Mo and Xi Mo, who were about to approach the emperor, to hear her. Yan Mo paused slightly, although only once. , but let Ximo, who was right beside him, feel it.

Silently, he continued to follow him towards Yankang. On the other side, the queen had already stood up, gave Yan Mo and Xi Mohan a slight nod, and walked sideways to the side hall.

Looking at the beautiful profile of the queen, Ximo's heart trembled, and a trace of indescribable irritability slipped through instantly, as if something was about to happen.

"Brother Wang, where is your gift? Can I wait for it?" Yan Kang greeted Yan Mo's wine as if nothing happened, and the two brothers drank against each other.

"Oh, it's Mo'er's gift, come on, play the qin." Yan Mo raised his hand, and ordered the two maidservants who had been waiting behind them to bring up her qin.

"Brother Wang, I just watched too many piano and dance performances. I want a special one. I wonder if there is one?"

Yan Mo glanced at Xi Mo, "Mo'er, what do you think?"

He was beating drums in his heart. Although the pieces she played were nice and skilled, they always sounded nothing new.

"My lord, it's nothing for Mo'er to play the piano by himself. Why don't you invite a master who knows how to play the instrument to play with Ximo. If the ensemble is perfect, then it will be considered a real piano skill." There is no need for any prior rehearsal. , everything depends on feeling.

"Haha, it seems that my sister-in-law appointed my brother Wang, didn't she?"

"Prince?" Ximo was confused for a while, she didn't even know if Yan Mo could play musical instruments.

"Yes, Brother Wang is a master. Brother Wang's flute, Xiao, and Qin are all unique and outstanding among our brothers. Even I can't forget it."

Xiao?
Ximo hears this word the loudest in her ears, and suddenly thinks of the xiao sound coming from Piaomiao Palace to accompany her, but Ruoyan said that the xiao sound came from outside the palace.

Seeing that she was silent, Yan Kang said again: "Why don't you just use Xiao, Qin and Xiao are a perfect match in the past, but you have to be innovative, otherwise, I won't rely on you." Yan Mo dressed in bright yellow He looked dignified and personable, so Ximo couldn't help but look up at him. Although he and Yan Mo were of the same mother, they had no similarities.

"Okay, thank the emperor for your advice." Ximo was slightly apprehensive, after all, this was the first time she saw Yan Kang.

"Your Majesty, I haven't played the flute for a long time. Besides, the flute I played before was not brought to the palace. Why don't you borrow the flute from the musician over there?" After finishing speaking, Yan Mo's clothes fluttered. With a graceful posture, she turned around and landed next to a flute player who had just finished performing.

Yan Mo's choice made Xi Mo secretly wonder, if the person at the beginning was not him, then he really didn't have to refuse to make up with Xiao Sheng, but the choice at this time felt like there was no silver 300 taels here, she couldn't help but I'm guessing.

However, the qin has arrived, and Yan Mo's flute is already in his hands.

Ximo had no other choice, she bowed gracefully to Yan Kang, then walked slowly to the front of the piano in the middle of the main hall, and sat on the wooden bench in front of the piano calmly, with a plan in her heart, she ignored it. Those countless curious gazes, fingers falling, sounding, in an instant, there was no sound in the hall, a silence, only the sound of a piano and a flute entwined and melodious, cleansing everyone's heart, pure as water.

But when the song "Phoenix Seeking the Phoenix" played, Yan Kang's face changed slightly, and he tilted his head to look at the empty seat where the queen just sat.

A song, from the beginning, to the approach, to the climax, to the lingering sound at the end, everything is just right to make the whole song vivid.

After finishing the song, it attracted countless applause, but there was no more admiration, because even though the qin and the flute cooperate very well, there is really nothing unusual about such a song at this birthday banquet .

"Brother Wang, is this your birthday present to me?" Sure enough, Yan Kang was not happy.

Yan Mo suddenly didn't know how to respond, he glanced at Xi Mo, Xi Mo smiled softly, "Your Majesty, Xi Mo's real birthday song hasn't been played yet."

"It turns out that it's still a song."

Ximo heard someone beside her sighing in a low voice, it seemed that she had no interest in the music anymore.

Yes, tired of hearing it.

But Ximo was not in a hurry, and under the eyes of everyone, her slender fingers landed on the strings again. At first, there were whispers in the hall, but after a while, all the whispers stopped. Everyone's eyes showed surprise and envy, and no one thought that Ximo would give Yan Kang such a birthday present.

This is so amazing that even Yan Mo who was standing beside her was surprised, this is not a piece she usually plays, or, strictly speaking, it is not a piece of music, it is just imitating the human voice with the sound of the piano, she almost Almost all the auspicious words said by the concubines when they toasted Yankang just now were reproduced in the sound of the piano, among which, the sentence was interspersed from time to time: I wish the emperor be as blessed as the East China Sea and live longer than Nanshan.

It was the first time that Yan Mo noticed the admiration in Yan Kang's eyes, which Yan Kang had never shown to any woman, it seemed that he had never shown such a look even to Wan'er.

Seeing that Ximo's performance was over, Yan Mo put a hand on her shoulder calmly, "Mo'er, I will help you up." That gesture seemed to declare that Ximo was his, but However, the appreciation in Yan Kang's eyes did not fade at all.

"Come here, let's see the reward."

Immediately, a court lady walked towards Ximo, who had returned to her seat, holding the tray she had prepared long ago.

On the tray were nothing more than ordinary gold and silver jewelry.

"and many more."

Yan Kang's drink made the palace maid holding the gift stop immediately.

Yan Kang turned his head to Jiang Luhai, the servant who was waiting on the side, and said: "Xiao Jiangzi, I just got that string of pearl bracelets a few days ago, go and get it quickly, I am happy today, this gift is really good, I want it very much Rewarded."

As soon as Yan Kang's words came out, there was an uproar in the hall. Ximo didn't know what a rare pearl bracelet was, but all the concubines in the hall knew that it was a bracelet that Fan Bang paid tribute to. There is nothing new in this palace, let alone the bracelet, but the pearls on this string of pearl bracelets are particularly special, the grains are round and plump, more than double the size of the usual ones, and, There is also an astonishing special feature, that is, the string of pearls will emit a yellow light in the dark, just like a candle lamp, which can be illuminated at night. Many concubines have never seen it with their own eyes. However, this imperial palace is neither big nor small, as long as someone has seen it, then it will be passed on from generation to generation, and now, no one knows about it.

That little Jiangzi was startled, "Your Majesty..."

"Go." Yan Kang was slightly annoyed. He hated Jiang Luhai's hesitation the most. It was obviously embarrassing for him. If he didn't want to cause trouble at his birthday party, he would have ordered Jiang Luhai to be punished now.

Jiang Luhai ran away quickly, and the hall returned to normal, with singing and dancing banquets, but there was no performance better than Ximo's piano skills.

It makes people not feel bored, and it also makes Yan Kang's eyes always fall on Ximo inadvertently, but he doesn't even know it.

When Jiang Luhai got the pearl bracelets, Yan Kang picked them up and gave them to Ximo, "Sister-in-law, I am very happy to get this gift. I am so grateful to you, sister-in-law. Let this pair of bracelets be my blessing. I wish my sister-in-law to give birth to a healthy little prince soon."

Ximo's face turned red, seeing Yan Kang treating her so kindly, she was a little embarrassed, she got up hurriedly, but felt a pain in her waist, she got up in a hurry, "Ouch." She couldn't help crying He let out a cry, but it made Yan Mo and Yan Kang change their faces at the same time...
