Litchi spring warm Xijiang

dessert.At this time, the lightly closed door was hastily pushed open, and the person who came was in a hurry, it was Liuyun.

Seeing her recklessness, Zheng Wodan lowered his face and said, "Look at the place this is, the imperial palace has very strict etiquette, it's not your Feihualou!"

"Sister Wodan, I really didn't mean to do this, it's just...it's just that Gu Zezhi also came to the banquet!"

"Gu Zezhi is here?" Zheng Wodan was a little puzzled, then looked at Liu Yun with a funny face and said, "Oh, so? What are you so anxious about?"

"But Wanliang is going to accompany Master Lu at the banquet today!" Liu Yun said anxiously.

"What 'accompany'?" Zheng Wodan gave Liu Yun a dissatisfied look, and said, "Lord Lu knows the inside story, how can he be disrespectful?"

"Oh, but how does Ms. Gu know the inside story? She must think that Miss Wanliang is just accompanying the banquet!"

"But... aren't we here to accompany the banquet?" Zheng Wodan wondered, "If Gu Zezhi underestimated Wanliang, he wouldn't have a personal relationship with her."

"But..." Liu Yun pursed his lips, his face full of embarrassment.

Zheng Wodan didn't care about her expression, and continued: "Furthermore, Gu Zezhi will definitely ask when she sees it, and I will ask her to answer truthfully. In this way, Gu Zezhi also knows that he owes Wanliang a favor." , this will be of great benefit to Wanliang!"

Hearing this, Liu Yun gave Zheng Wodan a complicated look, hesitant to speak.

"What's your expression? Did I say something wrong?" Zheng Wodan became more and more puzzled.

"Sister Odan," Liu Yun sighed, "Haven't you always been meticulous in discerning people? Why can't you see it this time..."

Zheng Wodan simply put down the teacup he had been holding in his hand, looked directly at Liuyun and said, "Can you stop being unreasonable? What exactly do you want to say?"

Liu Yun took a deep breath and said, "Don't you think that Wanliang... seems to have a habit of grinding mirrors?"

Zheng Wodan opened his mouth slightly, with a dazed expression: "You, you said..."

"Mirror grinding, I said grinding mirror." Liu Yun repeated in a very positive tone, "Hasn't Sister Wodan ever doubted it? Sister Wanliang has always believed that life and death are fate, and wealth depends on the sky. How is Gu Huairen's official career?" , it was his own cause and effect. If in normal times, she would at most comfort Miss Gu afterwards, how could she put herself in danger to keep the Gu family safe? Besides, this Wan Liang and Gu Zezhi had only known each other for a few months , but the affection is so deep, I am afraid it is not a simple friendship with a handkerchief."

"This..." Zheng Wodan's expression was complicated, and he didn't know what to say for a while.Indeed, if you think about it carefully, the things involved are probably not that simple.

"Sister Odan, stop thinking about it! This Wanliang will be serving a banquet soon, what can you tell her to do!" Liu Yun gripped Zheng Odan's sleeves and said anxiously.

"It's too late." Zheng Wodan frowned, rubbing his forehead with his hands, "She's already passed."

"How did you go so early!"

"She wants to play a Jiangnan tune first, which is the arrangement of the palace. Anyway, let's go and have a look first." Zheng Wodan said, then got up and walked out the door.

In the side door of Xuanjing Hall, Zheng Wodan saw Wanliang sitting on a low stool carved with sandalwood, holding a pipa in her hands.

Her face was pale, and her eyes were a little empty and wandering.And Gu Zezhi was sitting on a seat not far away, with a smile on his lips.

Zheng Wodan lowered his eyes slightly, and suddenly a little sadness welled up in his heart.It was still the same as she sighed that night:

"Everyone has his own life."

Chapter Twelve

Gu Zezhi always had a smiling face, but he was already full of doubts in his heart.She was good at observing her face since she was a child, and Wanliang just saw her expression clearly as if she had seen a ghost.However, this is a royal banquet, and it is also a welcome ceremony for Wan Qi Zhengheng, Crown Prince of the Yan Kingdom. Since she couldn't go forward to inquire, she had no choice but to continue to smile.

After some condolences to show the prestige of the country, the emperor slowly opened his mouth on the dragon seat, and said to the prince of Yan country: "I have heard that the prince of Yan country loves the elegance of the south of the Yangtze River, so I summoned some beauties from the south of the Yangtze River for the joy of feasting." .”

After Wan Qi Zhengheng heard this, he stood up and cupped his hands and said, "Qi State is elegant, and this palace has long been fascinated by it. It is really an honor for Wan Qi Zhengheng, the emperor, to take it so seriously."

The emperor smiled lightly when he heard this, and said, "Let's have a banquet!"

Although Wanliang was a little dazed, she still had 12 points of energy for this scene.She raised her hand and tuned the pipa, then opened the sandalwood mouth lightly:

"Gusu Spring, Ying Fei February, Xingliu Painting the Bridge, Where is the Cloud Tower Drunk King and Sun

……

Autumn in Gusu, the frost is shallow and the grass is deep, □□ leaning on the railing, whose sweet wine worships Chanjuan

......"

On the surface, it was a Jiangnan ditty, but in fact, the people in the palace created new lyrics and asked Wanliang to sing it in Wu dialect, saying that they were afraid that the country tune would not be able to make it to the stage.However, the lyrics and music are sung in Wu Nong's soft language, which is quite gentle and elegant in Jiangnan.

Gu Zezhi admired in his heart, but his eyes were fixed on the expression of the Crown Prince of Yan Kingdom. Seeing his obsessed look, he thought it was not good.Regardless of whether Wan Chengzhengheng is a real idiot or not, seeing how he is like this, he is bound to take Wan Liang away, just because of his coquettish pretense, in order to confuse the nobles of the Yan Kingdom's clan.Gu Zezhi lowered his eyes, hiding his heavy thoughts.

"What's wrong with Zezhi?" Seeing that she was not in high spirits, the eldest princess asked softly.

Gu Zezhi thought about it, and then whispered to the eldest princess: "I didn't get enough sleep last night, I will feel very dizzy, don't blame me."

"How can I blame you?" The eldest princess patted her hand affectionately and said, "If you are not feeling well, go to the side hall to take a rest for a while, and I will report to the emperor when the time comes."

Gu Zezhi nodded obediently, then turned around and walked out quickly.

Gu Zezhi was no more familiar with this palace, and when he came out, there was no palace attendant to follow him, which saved him a lot of trouble.She didn't go to the side hall, but went towards Xichen Palace.This Xichen Palace can be regarded as the cold palace of Qihuang Palace, no one cares about it all year round, and now there is a big welcome banquet in this palace, most of the staff have been transferred to serve the banquet, this cold palace is almost terribly cold.

Gu Zezhi saw that the night was dark and there was only one person guarding Zhumen, so he called out in a low voice: "Ceying!"

When the guard heard this, he turned his head to look at Gu Zezhi in surprise, and said, "Miss! Why did you come here?"

Gu Zezhi looked around vigilantly, and seeing that no one was there, she hurried forward to counter Ying and said: "The matter is urgent, so I won't let me go into details. Can you bring Xia Shen into the palace now... No, you don't need to bring it in." You ask her, what is the price of the fur business between Wancheng Zhengheng and Jinhuafang recently, and report it immediately!"

"Wanqizhengheng... fur business?" Ce Ying looked at Gu Zezhi in puzzlement, and really couldn't think of any connection between the crown prince of Yan Kingdom and the business at the end of Shang Dynasty.

"Go!" Gu Zezhi urged, his face full of anxiety.

In the main hall of Xuanjing, Wanliang sang "Drunken Gusu".

"What do you think, Your Highness the Crown Prince?" Seeing that Wan Tu Zhengheng was confused, the emperor asked.

Wan Teng Zhengheng came back to his senses as if he had just woken up from a dream, stood up and said to the emperor: "I have always claimed to have heard all the wonderful music in the world, but now I know that I am ignorant and ignorant, I am afraid I will be ridiculed .”

Hearing this, the emperor smiled loudly and said, "Okay! Since the prince likes it, let them sing and dance again."

After saying that, he said to Jiangnan Daoist in the seat: "Zheng Qing, I heard that this is a kabuki recommended by your subordinates. Does he have any other repertoire?"

Hearing this, Zheng Hongbi quickly walked down the steps, and replied: "Your Majesty, I heard that Mr. Zhao doesn't know what song His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan likes, so he specially made Feihualou's famous singing and dancing double masterpiece to be famous in Jiangcheng. The long-awaited Song of Everlasting Regret."

The emperor nodded slightly, and said to Zheng Hongbi: "I'm satisfied with what Zhao Zicheng has done this time. Well, then let them come up!"

After he finished speaking, a group of musicians filed in. The male actors were dressed in silk and crowned with jade, and the female actresses had gold hairpins.Wan Liang walked in front, wearing a double-knife bun and a tulip skirt.One of them was wearing a concubine-colored skirt with dark patterns, and a golden peony with pearls on his head, with wide sleeves covering his face, but his jade face was not visible.

When the jade flute sounded, Wanliang sang:

"The emperor of the Han Dynasty loved the country, and Yuyu couldn't ask for it for many years. The Yang family had a young girl who grew up and was raised in a deep boudoir..."

At this time, Zheng Wodan showed his lotus face for the first time, shy and timid, seemingly wanting to speak but still resting.

Qin Se was lingering again, just in response to the following words:

"The flowers on the temples of the clouds are swaying in golden steps, and the hibiscus tents warm the spring night. The spring night is bitter and the day is high, and the king will not go to court early..."

Singing to this point, a group of boudoir girls all blushed with embarrassment.Meng Qinglian's cheeks were flushed, her face showed disdain, and she said coldly: "The obscene words and songs are sung in the hall!"

The young masters sitting next to her had many admirers of this talented woman, and they responded one after another, saying how unbearable the song was.

Meng Zhifei looked at the group of people coldly, and said mockingly: "Yes, the king of poetry wrote obscene lyrics."

After hearing this, the group of people immediately fell silent.Meng Qinglian's face turned pale, and she couldn't help it, so she had to turn her head away bitterly.

Not long after, the melodious sound turned suddenly, the chime bells sounded, the sound of the piano was dull, and the skin drums rang together, and the singing also changed from lingering and melodious to chanting coldly:

"Yuyang came to the ground with agitation, and the neon clothes and feathers were shocked. The smoke and dust in the nine-fold city tower, thousands of rides and thousands of riders traveled southwest. Cuihua swayed and stopped, and went west for more than a hundred miles from the gate of the capital. Die before the horse..."

Zheng Wodan fell to the ground softly in response to the last word, his clothes fluttering, his brows were frowned and his eyes were closed, in an extremely pathetic and lingering manner.

Wan Chengzhengheng was having a feast, but a note was stuffed into his palm by a servant beside him.He unfolded the note under the table with one hand:

"Buy Beidi fur at any price. But please keep it cool."

After concentrating for a moment, Wan Teng Zhengheng held up his wine glass calmly,
