An Lingrong's Rebirth: The Lock of Qingqiu

The emperor was very satisfied with the current situation. He asked: "Now that Nian Gengyao has an army of 300,000 people, who can step forward and take over his position?"

Nian Gengyao has been leading troops for a long time. He has strategized and fought on the battlefield. He has quelled chaos in Tibet many times. The emperor was very afraid. In the court, when everyone was discussing how to deal with Nian Gengyao, Nian Gengyao came with ten Wan Dajun returned to his hometown, set up camp and took root, claiming that he would establish himself as "King Huai".

Nian Gengyao was from Huaiyuan County, Anhui Province. So, in anger, he took Concubine Nian Shilan Hua back to his hometown and camped in Huaiyuan County, Anhui Province. There were 300,000 troops and 200,000 troops still holding on. On the Tibetan border, he took the remaining 100,000 troops back to Huaiyuan County to support his troops as king and proclaimed himself "King Huai".

As for the food, clothing, housing and transportation of the 100,000-strong army, they all rely on the support of the people within a few hundred miles of the surrounding area. The people cultivate their own land, but they need to pay taxes to him. Every commodity circulating in the market needs to pay taxes to him. He has to pay taxes to him at the gateway of the province. With the checkpoints in place, goods had to pay taxes when passing through the checkpoints, and people and carriages also had to pay taxes when passing through. The people were miserable.

Concubine Wan kept chattering, and An Lingrong became angry in vain. No wonder the emperor's hair fell out from his forehead.

The palace seems to be a lot quieter without Concubine Hua. Even Cao Guiren, who usually likes to wander around, rarely sees her going to the queen to take Princess Wen Yi out to play. This is for the sake of his own safety. On weekdays, especially Cao Guiren, relying on the support of Concubine Hua, helped Concubine Hua do a lot of bad things. Now that Concubine Hua is gone, she is naturally afraid of retaliation.

In order to allow Concubine Wan to recover as soon as possible, the emperor asked her to move out of Suiyuxuan and move to Tangli Palace.

Empress Libin was very happy, and she often went to Wanbin's Tangli Palace with An Lingrong and Huibin to get together.

An Lingrong began to write lyrics and music again. He connected the things he wrote in bits and pieces on weekdays and compiled them into a book "Sanle Xiyu Xing". He wrote it with Guan Bin and Hui Bin in Tangli Palace. tune.

Guan Bin's horizontal flute, Hui Bin's harp, and An Lingrong's singing, singing in a low voice while making small changes to the music score, Li Bin was flipping through the book on Guan Bin's table under the window sill, it was a book by Zhu Xi "Early Autumn", turned over with bare hands, most of this essay is about using scenes to express emotions, describing the joys and sorrows between lovers.

Concubine Duan was at the other end drinking Biluochun brewed with chrysanthemum green tea. The fragrance of the tea overflowed and she said, "It will soon be the Qiao Qiao Festival. The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl are all gathered together. Do you have any plans?"

Wan Bin smiled and said: "I used to play games and eat dumplings, and put copper coins, silver needles, and red dates in the dumplings. Copper coins bring good luck, silver needles are skillful, and dates indicate early marriage."

Concubine Hui continued: "I used to be free to do as I pleased, but now that I have entered the palace, dates are no longer popular. Silver needles can easily hurt people, so copper coins are better because they have a better meaning."

The palace was full of music. Outside the palace, Wang Yunli of Guojun and Huanbi pushed the door open and said with salute: "Everyone is well, my queen. I happened to be passing by and couldn't help but be attracted by the music, so I came to find out what happened. I hope you can I didn’t disturb you ladies.”

Huanbi hugged everyone and chatted for a long time. They hadn't seen each other for a long time, so they were affectionate.

Yunli, the king of Guojun, and Xuanqing, the king of Qinghe, had profound attainments in palace music.

Prince Guo saw Wan Bin's lips move slightly and the flute sound was pleasant. He couldn't help but stretched out his hand to Wan Bin. Seeing that Wan Bin made no further movements, he used a little force to snatch the horizontal flute from Wan Bin's mouth and put it down. Blowing on his own lips.

Prince Guo is proficient in musical instruments, especially the horizontal flute.

An Lingrong and Hui Bin couldn't help but be drawn in. Soon, the three of them completed nearly twenty pieces of music in "San Le Xiyu Xing".

After finishing the music, on a whim, several people started to sing to each other. Guojun Wang Yunli and An Lingrong were in a group, Wan Bin and Hui Bin were in a group, two against two. Guan Bin was the king of the dance and couldn't help but dance to add to the fun. , dancing, she pulled Hui Concubine down and danced hand in hand together, while Concubine Duan and Concubine Li concubine were quietly clapping their hands together.

Prince Yunli of Guo County smiled and looked at Wan Bin intently, his eyes never leaving her figure, while Wan Bin danced with her shadow, like leaves rising and falling in the autumn wind. She danced without rules, but every movement was visible. It's nice and simple, not ostentatious or charming, full of warmth.

For some reason, Guojun Wang Yunli actually put the horizontal flute on the table, took Wanbin's arm and danced a bonfire dance. Wanbin's face turned red, and she wanted to withdraw her hand, but was pulled by Guojun Wang. Gotta be tight.

An Lingrong saw Wan Bin's embarrassment. She lowered her singing voice and stretched out her hand to easily hold Prince Guo's other arm, while her other hand took Huanbi's hand. This scene happened to be Emperor Xuan Ling saw the emperor who was pushed in.

"Hahaha, you are so funny, why don't you call me!" The emperor laughed and applauded, while Su Peisheng next to him looked at Prince Guo with a mischievous expression.

Prince Guo quickly withdrew his arm, bowed and said, "I am here to see the Emperor."

The emperor waved his hands and said: "No need to be formal, come and show me what song you are singing."

An Lingrong handed the "Sanle Xiyu Xing" in his hand to the emperor. The emperor turned it over with his bare hands, stretched his brows, nodded and said: "Okay, I will arrange for this booklet to be printed. Everyone here should have a copy and learn how to sing it. As for the person who wrote the lyrics and composed the music, please sign Li Bin’s name.”

An Lingrong said: "Most of these poems were written by my concubines, but a considerable part were written by Sister Wan and Sister Mei. Prince Guo participated in composing the music, and so did the two sisters. If you want to sign, you must They’re all signed.”

The emperor smiled and said: "Since so many people are participating, I propose that you build a palace band, which is your private group organization. I will not have jurisdiction over this kind of group. You can freely manage your time and develop group affairs. I also allow you to When the prince is rehearsing court music, he does not need to worry about etiquette and enjoys this happy time."

The emperor looked at Prince Guo with a joking expression, and Prince Guo quickly clarified himself: "Your Majesty, I have been rude to you."

The emperor smiled and said: "I am the emperor, you have no words to joke. I am not making fun of you, so there is no need to be polite."

Prince Guo was a little frightened and relaxed a little.

As soon as King Guo left, the emperor dismissed all the concubines, including An Lingrong and Hui Concubine. Duan Concubine and Li Concubine left one after another.

The emperor's brows were furrowed and his eyes were as bright as fire. He said that he had something to discuss with Concubine Wan. An Lingrong guessed that the matter was probably related to Nian Gengyao.

An Lingrong walked out of Tangli Palace and hurried back. Before he reached Cuihe Hall, he happened to meet Guan Bin's father Zhen Yuandao not far from Shanglin Garden.

An Lingrong understood that the emperor must have asked Zhen Yuandao to discuss the matter together. However, Zhen Yuandao was already old and could only contribute to the behind-the-scenes planning. Instead, he wanted to replace Nian Gengyao on the battlefield and become a famous man with the same reputation. There is only one person, and this person is Guan Bi's brother, Zhen Heng.
