love is like summer
Chapter 17 The Castle in the Sky
The winter night came very early, and it was already dark when Mao arrived, and the palace lanterns were already lit on the corridors of the palace.If the Forbidden City at this time can be overlooked from the sky, it must be the lines outlined by brightly lit lights.Ziqi has seen countless night scenes called one of the most beautiful in modern times, but she is still attracted by the long dragon formed by the palace lanterns in the Forbidden City.It really deserves to be called the City of the Son of Heaven.
On this side, Wang Gonggong walked towards Ciqing Palace with two young servants behind him carrying things. The young servant behind him accidentally knocked on the things in his hand, which made Wang Gonggong break out in a cold sweat.If this thing is broken, the lives of the two little eunuchs he just took in will be spared.
"Why did Wang Gonggong come at this time?" As soon as he arrived outside the main hall of Ciqing Palace, Wang Gonggong was stopped by Yang Shuojin who was guarding the door.
"Isn't this looking for something for the prince?" The prince replied politely, "It's not easy to take out such a big thing from the guard without anyone noticing it, and it has to be done after dark." .”
"So," Yang Shuojin poked his head over, glanced at the things behind the prince, and raised the corner of his mouth, "The prince can only rest assured that this matter is handed over to the prince." Shuojin led the three of them while talking. into the hall.
"Yang Qianhu is too famous." Wang Gonggong raised his hands in a bow, and led the two young eunuchs carefully inside.
At this time, the Ciqing Palace was brightly lit, and the door of the Prince's Hall was tightly closed.Wang Gonggong took a careful look and asked, "Is the prince here?"
"It's not a guest." Shuojin searched the prince's interpersonal relationship in his mind, "he can be regarded as a friend who can be talked about."
"That's not easy." In Wang Gonggong's heart, there are very few friends who can be called the prince's friends. Yang Shuojin in front of him is one, and the one from Chuxiu Palace is also one of them, but this one should take a good look. "The old slave now..."
"The prince has an order. You don't need to announce your arrival, Eunuch Wang. Just come in." Speaking of the few people who had already walked outside the study, Yang Shuojin knocked on the door lightly three times. After waiting for a while, Ruoli had already arrived at the door. .
"The crown prince invites the prince to enter." Ruoli Chong Shuojin nodded and led the prince into the hall.Yang Shuojin obviously understood the meaning, and took the things carried by the two young eunuchs with one hand, seemingly without exerting any effort. When the two young eunuchs saw it, they closed the door and retreated out with interest.
The three of them came to the room and saw that the prince before the case was playing Jiugong chess with a young man in gray.Although it was just a side profile, and the young man was not wearing an official uniform, but Wang Gonggong recognized him at a glance, it was Zuo Qing Jilang who was appointed by the prince not long ago, he was indeed a friend.
"You lost." The young man took back the prince's black pieces and put them back into the chess box, his expression was indifferent, and his words were relaxed, which was really different from ordinary people.There is no fear or flattery in front of the prince, the two are like brothers, they have a brotherhood.
"Report to the prince, the prince is here." Ruo Li interrupted the two of them softly.
After hearing Ruoli's notification, the two of them came back to their senses from the chess game.Youtang smiled happily, as if looking forward to something.Seeing Youtang's resolute expression made him a little curious.
"The prince brought the things here." Youtang couldn't hide his excitement, but he was a little disappointed when he looked at the hands of the three and it seemed that none of them had what he wanted.
"Back to the prince, the old slave has brought it." Wang Gonggong smiled and turned to signal Shuo Jin to present the thing in his hand. It is really rare to see the prince so caring about something. If he fails to get this thing from the internal servant today, The consequences are unimaginable.
Seeing Yang Shuojin walking forward with a table in both hands, Youtang looked at it in amazement, which caused Lingyi, who didn't know what was going on, to look up and down curiously.
"This..." Youtang almost didn't realize it. Didn't he order Wang Gonggong to go to the internal servant to take Ziqi's calligraphy and painting for today's exam?Why did you bring a table case?
But when the two of them stepped forward to have a look, they were suddenly overwhelmed by the painting on the table.
"This... is this really the painting and calligraphy that Zhang Ningxi handed in today?" Youtang looked at the hazy painting, and his thoughts were brought back to the small bridge in Zhangfu's winter rain that day.This is simply the scene of that day, but Youtang really doesn't know that this is Ziqi's talent.
"It's indeed her handwriting." Ling Yi was also shocked, but he stepped forward to look carefully at the brush beside him, "I can read this dog's handwriting." Of course, after two months of teaching, she taught her Of course Ling Yi can recognize the dog climbing character in this hand.
Hearing Lingyi's words, Wang Gonggong straightened out his thoughts quickly, and seemed to understand something at once, but he still remained calm, "Back to the prince, it was indeed written by Miss Ningxi. Today's calligraphy and painting competition, the old slave also I was there, watching Miss Ningxi draw on the table. At that time, the old slave also wondered why she used charcoal to write calligraphy and paintings on the table. But in the end, Miss Ningxi put the rice paper on the table On such a shop, calligraphy and painting were printed on the rice paper in an instant, which made the judging scholars at that time dumbfounded, and even the empress sighed! I secretly took out my table case..."
After listening to the words of Wang Gonggong, the two of them stared at the table case intently.Yang Shuojin gave Wang Gonggong a look, and Wang Gonggong exited the hall very wisely, leaving the four of them watching carefully at the table.
"If life is just like the first time you see it, what is the autumn wind and the sad painting fan..." Ling Yi looked at the somewhat blurred words and tried hard to identify them. This word has given me a headache every day for the past two months, but I didn't expect it to disappear after a few days. I feel nostalgic more and more, "Waiting to change the old people's hearts, but the old people's hearts are easy to change..."
Listening to Lingyi's voice next to his ear, Youtang gradually felt that his eyes became hot and moist.In my memory, she always had an innocent smile on her lips, living like crazy but extremely free every day.I have heard her sing, but never seen her draw and write, so I was so surprised today.Surprised that she, who looks rough and careless on the outside, is so sentimental on the inside.Originally thought that he knew her well enough, but it seems that Youtang was wrong.
"Prince, don't get too excited." Ling Yi patted Youtang's shoulder jokingly, bringing Youtang back to his senses, "Ziqi told us before coming, Let us tell you nothing."
"That's right," Shuo Jin beside him frowned, "and threatened us that if the prince finds out, he will kill us to silence us."
Sure enough, it was something Ziqi could say, "Kill your mouth? Haha..." Youtang, who was still a little sad just now, burst out laughing, "Can she shut your mouth?"
"She said," Ling Yi picked up the teacup in hand and paused, "Qing Qiu and Ning Xi are in her hands, if they can't beat us, they will kill the family."
Youtang laughed and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.Forgive me for still thinking she is sentimental, it seems that she can only be a "funny" in her life!
The Chuxiu Palace was very quiet tonight, because suddenly more than half of the side halls with more than 200 people left were empty.
Some people are happy and some are worried. Over here, Fusheng is still sad that sister Wu from the "A and B" room who often secretly gave her snacks has left; She barely passed the test without any risk, but Ziqi, who always advocates sixty long live, and a bit more waste, is very happy.
"Come, come! It's bedtime story time, my sister will tell you a story about Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs today!" Ziqi scrambled into the bed while waving at Fusheng.
But Fu Sheng, who usually runs fast when he hears a story, is surprisingly depressed today.
Ziqi was also puzzled, "Why don't you order less snacks in the future, because you are so reluctant to part with your sister Wu?"
Fu Sheng got into the quilt lightly, moved to Zi Qi's side and pouted.Looking at her dumbfounded face, Ziqi's face was bloodshot.
"Ning Xi, you don't understand," Fu Sheng said in a soft voice, like a puppy that keeps crying, "I used to be at home, and my brothers and sisters thought I was stupid and greedy and didn't want to play with me. But after I came here and had you, I listened to the stories you told in my room every night, and I went to tell them the next day. Although I was not as touching as yours, everyone liked it. Come and go, I have made a lot of friends. There are endless snacks every day. But now, more than half of them left at once. I also have less snacks, and I am afraid that I will be starved to death in the palace."
What the hell!Ziqi thought she was reluctant to be a good friend, and it turned out that she couldn't do without food, "Ye Fusheng! You actually use the story I told you to go out to cheat food and drink! How many times have I said that this palace is not as good as food?" At home, people’s hearts are sinister, so please be careful. It turns out that the most dangerous people are by my side! Tell me! How long have you been out cheating!"
Frightened by Ziqi's voice, Fusheng immediately rolled over from the bed and half-kneeled at the end of the bed with his buttocks pouted, worshiping Ziqi, who was sitting cross-legged on the head of the bed aggressively and cross-legged like a bodhisattva.
"It's not what you think." Fu Sheng pouted and hurriedly explained, "Didn't I ask them to borrow the line that day? They didn't want to borrow it, but they said they needed me to exchange it for them. I didn't have many snacks in my hand. And so I remembered the stories you told me at night."
"Liar!" Ziqi knew about it.On the first day, Ziqi got the acupuncture secret book given by Wang Gonggong and gave it to Fusheng. As a result, Fusheng was praised by the female secretary of the Shangfu Bureau that day, and the women in the "A and B" room looked jealous.When Fusheng went to borrow things the next day, they must have been thinking about those stitches, how could they just let this silly girl go after hearing a story?
"I didn't!" Fu Sheng was so anxious that his eyes were red, "At that time, I just wanted to try. If the story they told didn't sound good, they wouldn't borrow it. So I told you about Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves. The result was given to me. They talked for a while. They not only lent me things, but also gave me a lot of food, and told me to tell them every day, so..."
No wonder Fu Sheng has such a good relationship with those girls starting with the word "A" these days, hum!It turned out that it was taking advantage of Ziqi, "Then why don't you give me a share of the things you lied to!"
Seeing that Ziqi let go, Fu Sheng immediately ran over to tuck her in the quilt, "Didn't you always say that you want to lose weight, and you won't eat it at night."
"Then don't you know how to give it during the day?"
……
☆、Sky City
Castle in the Sky
The next morning, it was very late.The remaining [-] beautiful girls from Chuxiu Palace still came to the main hall with morning dew.
Today, four musicians from Shangyi Bureau came to the main hall with all kinds of musical instruments.A large number of musicians are playing "The Wild Goose Falls on the Pingsha" for everyone.Ziqi had heard Qingqiu play this piece before, but she didn't expect that the momentum of this multi-person ensemble was indeed far better than a single solo.
For ancient musical instruments, Ziqi has a headache.So when Qingqiu taught her musical instruments, she asked Lingyi and Brother Yang to help find skilled craftsmen to make guitars, triangle irons, drum sets and so on.Although Qingqiu can't recognize these western instruments that are hundreds of years old, music is such a magical thing, the so-called mastery of everything.Ziqi roughly taught Qingqiu fingering and scales. Three days later, Qingqiu played a guitar solo for Ziqi, and Ziqi was stunned.
Ziqi had very little luggage when she first entered the palace, and it was impossible to bring these things with her.Just after the song was finished, Ziqi was still stuck in her own fantasy, and the female history over there had already started ordering everyone to choose the instrument she was good at.
Fusheng dragged Ziqi around in front of the musician, but seeing Ziqi shaking her head and grinning, she simply ignored her and went to ask the musician who played the zither for advice.
In fact, she had already thought about Ziqi's musical instruments before she arrived, and asked Lingyi to help her find a craftsman to make many of them. She picked out her favorite tone and put it in her backpack.
In the previous three exams, Ziqi can be said to have passed the test with a crooked approach.But this time she is quite confident in the "Le" test.As a Maiba who has memorized [-] pop songs by heart, Ziqi still believes that she doesn't need to rely on luck for this exam.
But this "Le" test is the last official test. The 50 people left after this test will stay in the palace for a month, and after one month, three beautiful girls will be selected for the final competition.So everyone pays special attention to this game.In addition to practicing hard, the show girls are also very concerned about the practice of others.Because in this situation, Ziqi didn't take out her musical instrument, but practiced fingering silently every day.
In this way, in the daily music class, everyone not only actively practiced, but also privately gave some benefits to the experienced musicians, so that the musicians could also teach more.Ziqi was the only one beside her, with her hands raised in front of her face, without any musical instruments and making no sound, she just kept moving her fingers.Some people even began to spread whether she was insane.
Even when Fu Sheng Ye secretly asked her if she was practicing the flute or something, she shook her head and said nothing.
In this way, after ten days, it finally came to the day of the "Le" exam.
Because of the special nature of the "Le" test, they cannot be conducted at the same time, so the show girls were divided into two groups.The examiners are the Queen Mother, Uncle Wan Guo, and Si Le Nushi from the Shangyi Bureau.
Ziqi did a rough calculation, and it took 5 show girls an average of 8 hours for a [-]-minute piece of music. They were divided into two groups and played at the same time, and one side also took four hours.In addition, the Empress and Uncle Wan Guo had to rest halfway, so it was almost dark when it was Ziqi's turn to be at the bottom.
Fusheng and Ziqi were separated into two groups, and Ziqi was lucky to be assigned to the queen's side of the East Hall.Because Ziqi, the uncle of the West Palace, didn't believe in his taste, but in his character.
As soon as we arrived at Sishi, the empress and several female historians had already made it to the palace.It seems that the later in the draft, the queen began to pay more attention to it.After all, the crown prince and the future queen were chosen for the Ming Dynasty. Although the crown prince was not the queen's own, the prince's biological mother had passed away, and the future queen mother was still himself, and the queen had no biological children of her own, so the queen paid special attention to it at this time.This is choosing a daughter-in-law for myself, so I can't neglect it.After all, it is not easy to choose someone who can stand with you, and it is even more difficult to choose someone who can help you.
The show girls walked into the hall one by one with their own repertoire.Standing aside, Ziqi held her own musical instrument tightly in her hands, listening to the movements in the hall with her ears upright.Some are like mountains and flowing water, some are fresh and refined, and some are lively, which really makes Ziqi feel pressured.
Time passed minute by minute, but Ziqi who was waiting outside the hall could not relax at all. The more she heard the voices in the hall, the more nervous Ziqi felt.As the sky gradually darkened, the show girls waiting with her also disappeared one by one.
No matter how difficult this month is, we must not lose at the last hurdle.Ziqi hung the instrument in her hand around her neck, closed her eyes, and let herself gradually relax.Isn't this the same as the college entrance examination?The more you care about your grades, the more you fall behind.Instead of relaxing, she gets unexpectedly good results every time. After taking countless exams in three years of high school, Ziqi summed up these principles.Looking back on my original intention, is it just to compete with these irrelevant people for the first place?She let go of her dignity, gave up her persistence, and came here not to fight for power, but to walk in front of him step by step and tell him her own heart.No longer choose to give up because of who he is.
"The last one! Zhang Ningxi!" The servant and eunuch called Ziqi twice before she realized it.Holding the instrument in her hand, she took a step forward, never walking so confidently like today.
Ziqi walked up to the empress and made a big gift, and standing behind her were all the show girls who had already been shown.The three female historians in front of them were a little tired, and the empress was not even in the mood to speak, and waved her hands without raising her eyes.She had already figured it out, the last one was basically the same as being out.
Ziqi knew that the situation was not good for her.If her performance this time cannot be a blockbuster, then she will definitely lose.
Ziqi picked up the musical instrument hanging in her arms. It was the ocarina that Brother Yang found the most famous potter in Shuntian Prefecture to bake for her before she entered the palace. This was unprecedented in the Ming Dynasty.
Ziqi took the ocarina and nodded slightly at the three judges, but the female Shi was attracted by the small, exquisite and very special instrument in her hand.The people behind them also whispered about the strange thing in Ziqi's hand.Even Wan Hongran, who usually has eyes on the top of her head, couldn't help but take a few extra glances.Although the voices of the show girls were small, they could reach the ears of the empress.When the empress also raised her eyes at this peculiar musical instrument, Ziqi knew that she had succeeded at least half of the way.
Ziqi put the ocarina to her lips, and gently closed her eyes.One of her best songs is "Laputa in the Sky".The melodiousness of the ocarina and the clarity of the tune, accompanied by the cool wind and white snow, reverberated in the huge hall one by one.
There was no sound in the hall for a moment, and the show girls covered their mouths in surprise, fearing that the sound of sobbing would disturb the tranquility.
Everyone was amazed. The woman standing in the hall was obviously not amazing, but why could she play such a moving melody.This sound is more restrained than the sound of the flute, deeper than the sound of the flute, as mellow as a xun but more elegant.Coupled with this beautiful tune, the listener seems to be standing on the top of the cloud, with birds passing by and the breeze blowing.When I opened my eyes, I saw a quiet woman standing on the surface of the blue sea, blowing conch shells, and the clear waves wetted the corners of her skirt, but she was standing on the sea breeze and riding the wind and waves.
The sound of the flute really amazed everyone in the audience, even the uncle Guo in the apse hastily stopped the performance and rushed over to listen to it.
Just like that, the Chuxiu Palace, which was obviously overcrowded, suddenly seemed to be empty and quiet. Only the woman in the middle of the hall, wearing a long robe, played the sound of nature alone.
The last coda is very long and long, which makes people unable to extricate themselves for a long time.
"The so-called 'circling the beam for three days' is nothing more than today." The queen whispered, as if speaking to herself, but it also broke the silence in the hall.
Ziqi stood quietly and said nothing.
At this time, the empress who sat in the distance seemed to recognize her. When she saw the poem and painting that inspired her, the empress raised her head and took a look from a distance. Her eyes were still so clear, without any fear. No flattery and no tension.As the mother of a country and the lord of the harem, she has seen all kinds of human emotions over the years, but no one is as natural as her.
The queen turned to Eunuch Zhao beside her and asked her name, Zhang Ningxi?
"by!"
After the last formal exam, Ziqi successfully sent away a group of rivals in love, and without shedding tears to say goodbye to them, Ziqi has happily moved into a new room.Because there are fifty beautiful women left, there is no need to have sex with others.
Just after dinner time, Ziqi was tidying up her new room while humming a little song, when there was a merciless knock on the door.She didn't need to think too much about it to know that it was Fusheng, and she also passed the exam this time, which made Ziqi quite uneasy.While thinking about how to defeat everyone, at the same time, he was reluctant to leave Fusheng.But in the end, there is a difference after all, because Yi Ziqi's character will not share the man she loves with others.Hey, I have a headache!
As soon as Ziqi opened the door, before Ziqi could react, she saw Fusheng crawling inside with something half head taller than her.
"Hey, you're not welcome." Ziqi closed the door so as not to be blown out by the cold wind outside the door.Without saying a word, Fu Sheng started to spread out his own quilt, put his favorite pillows on the head of the bed, hid snacks in the cabinet, and brought all the wool from Ziqi a few days ago. Come prepared for the long battle.
"Ning Xi," Fu Sheng seemed to have made preparations. After putting everything away, he pulled Ziqi, who was completely defenseless, to the table, but he had already set up the stool and picked up the melon seeds. "Yesterday's 'Legend of the White Snake' Where did it go?"
"Hey! I won't be able to escape your clutches even if I'm separated?" I just want to be a quiet and beautiful girl, and you won't even give me a chance!
"It's just room sharing, we're still neighbors." Fu Sheng divided half of the melon seeds in his hand to Zi Qi, and comforted her cheerfully, "As the saying goes, 'One hundred years of cultivation can cross the same boat, and one thousand years of cultivation can make one sleep together', but we have' Sleeping together' fate, Ningxi, you can't forget me so quickly!"
All right!I have to bear the sins I have done with tears in my eyes!
"Last time we talked about Xu Xian and Bai Niangzi getting married..." After all, Fu Sheng couldn't be held back, Ziqi poured tea for herself while telling the story.
The author has something to say: I really like this song, it will always be a classic!
☆、Sky City
Castle in the Sky
The wind seems to be particularly cold tonight.Ziqi added charcoal to the fire several times while telling the story, but she still felt cold.Ziqi was born in the south and has always been resistant to heat and cold.This is her first winter here, without electric blankets, hand warmers, and cashmere vests woven by her mother...
A sneeze!
Ziqi, who was about to get under the covers, was frightened by the sneeze, and Fusheng at the table was still eating melon seeds, so it must not be her.
Ziqi immediately grabbed the small stool by the table and shielded Fu Sheng behind her, it seemed that this huge palace was not safe either.Ziqi walked to the window step by step, no matter how much Fu Sheng pulled behind her, she didn't make a sound.Anyone who dares to spy on me, Xu Ziqi, is brave enough!
Just when Ziqi had already walked to the window, holding the stool high with one hand and slamming open the window door with the other, Fusheng snatched the stool that was about to fall, scaring Ziqi and everyone outside the window. exclaimed.
Why use the word "public"?Ziqi poked her head out to take a closer look at the dense crowd of people outside the window, outside the door, and standing on the porch outside her room, which frightened Ziqi.Group peeping coming?
"You...you are..." My god, this sneeze killed a whole class.
"Sister, don't get me wrong, we...we are..."
"We are passing by! Yes! We are passing by!"
"Yes! We didn't mean to eavesdrop!"
Seeing the [-] to [-] girls outside the porch explaining at one go, with incoherent words, Ziqi suddenly felt three crows flying over her head.
"Passing by?" Ziqi was really drunk, "How do you explain the melon seed shells in your hands and on the ground?"
"This..." The girls hurriedly hid their hands back, did they treat my place as a teahouse?
"They are here to listen to the book!" The clear voice echoed in the snow, making everyone shut up.
Ziqi poked her head out, and happened to see a man standing at the end of the porch, leaning against the pillar with his arms folded, Wan Hongran with a disdainful expression on his face.Ziqi has never liked to have too much contact with other beautiful girls, but she still knows a thing or two about Wan Hongran.He had heard that Fu Sheng had mentioned some of her domineering deeds a long time ago, it seemed that Wan Hongran was a little concerned about Ziqi's ocarina in today's competition.
Ziqi doesn't want to cause trouble, but she is never afraid of trouble. Since she has shown her talents today, she already guessed that the days to come will not be too peaceful.Now that this is the case, let's take a step at a time.
"Since it's listening to books, how can we let the judges stand?" Ziqi walked forward and opened the door in two or three steps, and the girls stepped out of the way one after another. "Please come in!"
Originally thinking that Ziqi would get angry, Fusheng and everyone were ready to accept Ziqi's roar.But Ziqi in front of her was obviously not irritated by Wan Hongran's sarcasm, but instead laughed, which made everyone a little at a loss.
The two of them looked at each other quietly for 3 minutes, but they were so quiet that everyone's heartbeat could be heard.
Ziqi knew that the moment she opened the door was the beginning of the war. Without gunpowder, the heartless self in the past would die on the battlefield, and the living must learn to protect themselves.
At this moment, Wan Hongran is also very clear that Zhang Ningxi, who usually lives in seclusion and does not show much, should not be underestimated at this time.But in this cruel harem, it is no longer possible to live in peace with just that little trick to capture people's hearts.Regardless of the person in front of her, she is the enemy.Since I, Wan Hongran, have already stood here, I will never be inferior to others.Zhang Ningxi, you will be driven out of the palace wall by me, Wan Hongran, together with everyone else.
Wan Hongran was the first to walk into Ziqi's open room with strides.All the beautiful girls around her started running frantically to Ziqi's room as if they saw that the first person to eat crabs was not dead, so as to grab the best position, and even moved back to their own room The stools filled Ziqi's small room one by one.
Seeing that her originally empty and deserted room suddenly became hot, Ziqi was actually squeezed to sit on the bed, which was really funny.
"Ning Xi," now finally seeing the perpetrator, Fu Sheng bowed his head and walked to the bedside to admit his mistake, "Actually, my sisters already know that all my stories come from you, but you usually like to be clean, don't you?" I like to hang out with everyone, so my sisters only got to know you in today's game."
So, I have to thank today's game for making me famous.
"Sister Ningxi, don't blame Fusheng," said Ziqi, the beautiful woman in red sitting in the center, who remembered Fusheng talking about it. She seemed to be the daughter of a Beijing official, and her name was Ling Wei. "We also heard some things from Fusheng on weekdays. Let her tell us the novel little stories. Who would have thought that all these little stories are fascinating and the sisters have never heard of them, so today everyone gathers outside my sister's door."
"It's okay." Ziqi nodded lightly, and pulled Fusheng to sit on the edge of the bed together.Now that things have become like this, Ziqi can only push the boat along.It's a blessing, not a curse, and it's a disaster that can't be avoided. "Since the sisters are all sitting together today, let me explain Zhang Ningxi's rules first."
Hearing Ziqi change the subject, everyone's heart skipped a beat, and even Fu Sheng beside him became nervous.Does Ziqi still have to sit on the ground and raise the price?
"From today onwards, Zhang Ningxi's room will hold lectures at Haishi every day, half an hour a day, and I will rest for two days every seven days. Each person brings their own stools, food, and water. Also, there is not enough charcoal in my room. I don’t have enough snacks, so I have to bother you. If you think it’s appropriate, you can make friends with me. If you don’t like my meddling, I won’t stay if you leave now.”
After Ziqi said these words, the room was quiet for 3 minutes. It seemed that she was not used to Ziqi's straightforwardness.Ziqi carefully scrutinized everyone's expressions, and she could tell whether they were friends or foes in the future.Ling Wei in the middle was taken aback for a moment, then slightly raised the corners of her mouth.There were those who nodded secretly, some who were surprised, some who rolled their eyes, and some who got up to go out, all of which were expected by Ziqi, after all, she knew that not everyone could accept her arrogance.Only Wan Hongran in the corner is invisible to Ziqi.
After 3 minutes, everyone came to their senses, and immediately went back to the house to get snacks and make tea, only Wan Hongran was indifferent and Zhong Ziqi didn't ask much.After a while, Ziqi's room became warmer.Fu Sheng looked at the piles of snacks in front of her, and she decided that from now on, Zi Qi is her own sister, and no one can take her away!
Ziqi took a sip of hot tea in satisfaction, and started her first personal speech, "Today we will tell a new story, "Cinderella"..."
Ziqi recounted the story for half an hour with added fuel and vinegar.Consciousness blushed when she put down the teacup.Looking up at the girls in the room is even more intoxicating.Even the thousand-year-old iceberg Wan Hongran was in a trance.
What a harmonious picture.Sure enough, every girl has a princess dream.It seems that Ziqi's first personal speech was quite successful.
"Sister Ningxi," I don't know who started in the corner, "tell us another one." Suddenly everyone seemed to be awakened and began to chatter.It's not over yet.I'm done talking today, what else will I have to eat tomorrow!
Ziqi got up and opened the window, the snow outside had stopped.It was already late at this time, the sky cleared after the snow stopped, and the moonlight shone on the snow, making the outside of the house very quiet.
"Why don't I play a tune for everyone." Ziqi didn't look back at the expressions of the crowd, picked up the ocarina at hand and started playing. She didn't want to waste such a beautiful moonlight and snow scene.
Everyone here has heard how special Ziqi's songs are during the day. At this time, under the moonlight, looking at Ziqi's thin background, coupled with her clear and touching songs that go straight to the heart, no one wants to go bothering.
At this time, Youtang led Yang Shuojin to the Qianqing Palace with his new gadget of the day.But as soon as he arrived at the Qianqing Gate, he saw his father standing on the city wall.
"My ministers see the father." Youtang knew that the emperor had the habit of going out at night on weekdays.But since the death of Concubine Wan Gui, father has not been in such a good mood for many days.
"Tian'er come here." The emperor recruited Youtang to come forward, and the father and son went to the tower together, "The moonlight is good tonight, and Tang'er will accompany the emperor for a walk?"
"Yes." Youtang nodded and called Yang Shuojin behind him, "Father, the moonlight is beautiful, but it is winter after all, and you are in better health, so you can't suffer from the cold anymore."
The emperor nodded in relief. Among the many sons, only me, the prince, is the most beloved.
Youtang took the woolen glove that Yang Shuojin was holding, which was brought back by the prince today.I heard from him that Ziqi wove them by herself. They are called "gloves" and they are very effective in keeping out the cold.The ladies in the Shangfu Bureau have never seen this thing before, and it seems to be Ziqi's new trick.
Youtang took it over and gently put it on the father's hand, but when he looked up, he saw the same thing on the father's neck by the moonlight, "This..."
"It seems that Tang'er also got this good thing!" The emperor laughed and looked at Youtang who was a little surprised, "This is a new thing that was introduced by the Shangfu Bureau today. It’s warm again, so I put it on, how about it? Is it okay to go with this thing like tang’er?”
"Not bad, not bad." Youtang turned around and cast Yang Shuojin a look, which made Shuojin very puzzled.The prince clearly said that it was Ziqi's new product, so why did the emperor have it so quickly? It seems that the speed of the Shangfu bureau's clothes asking for rewards is getting faster and faster.
Youtang accompanied the emperor and walked slowly on the city wall. The moonlight and snowflakes illuminated the road, so there was no need to hold a lamp.
"I heard that this thing came from Chuxiu Palace again." The emperor chatted casually while walking.But this topic made Youtang a little terrified.
"My son, I know." Youtang helped his father up the steps, "The prince in the son's palace is helping the queen mother in Chuxiu Palace, so the son knows a little bit about it."
"Then do you know who did it this time?" Youtang couldn't hear the emotion in his father's mouth, it seemed to be a routine and a temptation.
"My son doesn't know yet."
"Oh, look at your father's memory!" The emperor laughed and patted his forehead, "Tian'er won't be able to see the beautiful girls selected for you today until after he has graduated from the top three. Yes. Although your father doesn’t care about the draft, your mother always comes here to talk about it, so I still know something new. There are so many talents in this year’s show girls. You look at the scarves, gloves, and ex-girlfriends. A few days of Jiugong chess, everything made me happy, I hope this time I can choose the best concubine for Tang'er."
Youtang supported his father as he walked all the way, he could feel that his father was really happy today.Thinking that all these things were done by Ziqi and could make the emperor so happy, Youtang felt very happy.
"Wait," just when Youtang was still a little distracted, there was a light and ethereal flute sound in his ears.
"It seems to come from over there." The father and son looked in the direction Shuo Jin pointed, and it was all white, which was the direction of Chuxiu Palace.
Shuojin had heard Ziqi's ocarina before, so he recognized it right away.
The father and son looked at the peaceful palace from a distance, and listened to the beautiful, gentle, and moving sound of the flute in their ears, and they were all in a daze for a moment.
What kind of feelings can play such a flute.This wonderful tune seems to be able to lead people into the empty valley as soon as it hits the ear, and the sound that floats in the ear does not seem to be like the sound of a flute, but more like the breeze on the grassland in the hometown.It makes people feel homesick after listening to it.
"Tian'er really doesn't want to know who she is?"
On this side, Wang Gonggong walked towards Ciqing Palace with two young servants behind him carrying things. The young servant behind him accidentally knocked on the things in his hand, which made Wang Gonggong break out in a cold sweat.If this thing is broken, the lives of the two little eunuchs he just took in will be spared.
"Why did Wang Gonggong come at this time?" As soon as he arrived outside the main hall of Ciqing Palace, Wang Gonggong was stopped by Yang Shuojin who was guarding the door.
"Isn't this looking for something for the prince?" The prince replied politely, "It's not easy to take out such a big thing from the guard without anyone noticing it, and it has to be done after dark." .”
"So," Yang Shuojin poked his head over, glanced at the things behind the prince, and raised the corner of his mouth, "The prince can only rest assured that this matter is handed over to the prince." Shuojin led the three of them while talking. into the hall.
"Yang Qianhu is too famous." Wang Gonggong raised his hands in a bow, and led the two young eunuchs carefully inside.
At this time, the Ciqing Palace was brightly lit, and the door of the Prince's Hall was tightly closed.Wang Gonggong took a careful look and asked, "Is the prince here?"
"It's not a guest." Shuojin searched the prince's interpersonal relationship in his mind, "he can be regarded as a friend who can be talked about."
"That's not easy." In Wang Gonggong's heart, there are very few friends who can be called the prince's friends. Yang Shuojin in front of him is one, and the one from Chuxiu Palace is also one of them, but this one should take a good look. "The old slave now..."
"The prince has an order. You don't need to announce your arrival, Eunuch Wang. Just come in." Speaking of the few people who had already walked outside the study, Yang Shuojin knocked on the door lightly three times. After waiting for a while, Ruoli had already arrived at the door. .
"The crown prince invites the prince to enter." Ruoli Chong Shuojin nodded and led the prince into the hall.Yang Shuojin obviously understood the meaning, and took the things carried by the two young eunuchs with one hand, seemingly without exerting any effort. When the two young eunuchs saw it, they closed the door and retreated out with interest.
The three of them came to the room and saw that the prince before the case was playing Jiugong chess with a young man in gray.Although it was just a side profile, and the young man was not wearing an official uniform, but Wang Gonggong recognized him at a glance, it was Zuo Qing Jilang who was appointed by the prince not long ago, he was indeed a friend.
"You lost." The young man took back the prince's black pieces and put them back into the chess box, his expression was indifferent, and his words were relaxed, which was really different from ordinary people.There is no fear or flattery in front of the prince, the two are like brothers, they have a brotherhood.
"Report to the prince, the prince is here." Ruo Li interrupted the two of them softly.
After hearing Ruoli's notification, the two of them came back to their senses from the chess game.Youtang smiled happily, as if looking forward to something.Seeing Youtang's resolute expression made him a little curious.
"The prince brought the things here." Youtang couldn't hide his excitement, but he was a little disappointed when he looked at the hands of the three and it seemed that none of them had what he wanted.
"Back to the prince, the old slave has brought it." Wang Gonggong smiled and turned to signal Shuo Jin to present the thing in his hand. It is really rare to see the prince so caring about something. If he fails to get this thing from the internal servant today, The consequences are unimaginable.
Seeing Yang Shuojin walking forward with a table in both hands, Youtang looked at it in amazement, which caused Lingyi, who didn't know what was going on, to look up and down curiously.
"This..." Youtang almost didn't realize it. Didn't he order Wang Gonggong to go to the internal servant to take Ziqi's calligraphy and painting for today's exam?Why did you bring a table case?
But when the two of them stepped forward to have a look, they were suddenly overwhelmed by the painting on the table.
"This... is this really the painting and calligraphy that Zhang Ningxi handed in today?" Youtang looked at the hazy painting, and his thoughts were brought back to the small bridge in Zhangfu's winter rain that day.This is simply the scene of that day, but Youtang really doesn't know that this is Ziqi's talent.
"It's indeed her handwriting." Ling Yi was also shocked, but he stepped forward to look carefully at the brush beside him, "I can read this dog's handwriting." Of course, after two months of teaching, she taught her Of course Ling Yi can recognize the dog climbing character in this hand.
Hearing Lingyi's words, Wang Gonggong straightened out his thoughts quickly, and seemed to understand something at once, but he still remained calm, "Back to the prince, it was indeed written by Miss Ningxi. Today's calligraphy and painting competition, the old slave also I was there, watching Miss Ningxi draw on the table. At that time, the old slave also wondered why she used charcoal to write calligraphy and paintings on the table. But in the end, Miss Ningxi put the rice paper on the table On such a shop, calligraphy and painting were printed on the rice paper in an instant, which made the judging scholars at that time dumbfounded, and even the empress sighed! I secretly took out my table case..."
After listening to the words of Wang Gonggong, the two of them stared at the table case intently.Yang Shuojin gave Wang Gonggong a look, and Wang Gonggong exited the hall very wisely, leaving the four of them watching carefully at the table.
"If life is just like the first time you see it, what is the autumn wind and the sad painting fan..." Ling Yi looked at the somewhat blurred words and tried hard to identify them. This word has given me a headache every day for the past two months, but I didn't expect it to disappear after a few days. I feel nostalgic more and more, "Waiting to change the old people's hearts, but the old people's hearts are easy to change..."
Listening to Lingyi's voice next to his ear, Youtang gradually felt that his eyes became hot and moist.In my memory, she always had an innocent smile on her lips, living like crazy but extremely free every day.I have heard her sing, but never seen her draw and write, so I was so surprised today.Surprised that she, who looks rough and careless on the outside, is so sentimental on the inside.Originally thought that he knew her well enough, but it seems that Youtang was wrong.
"Prince, don't get too excited." Ling Yi patted Youtang's shoulder jokingly, bringing Youtang back to his senses, "Ziqi told us before coming, Let us tell you nothing."
"That's right," Shuo Jin beside him frowned, "and threatened us that if the prince finds out, he will kill us to silence us."
Sure enough, it was something Ziqi could say, "Kill your mouth? Haha..." Youtang, who was still a little sad just now, burst out laughing, "Can she shut your mouth?"
"She said," Ling Yi picked up the teacup in hand and paused, "Qing Qiu and Ning Xi are in her hands, if they can't beat us, they will kill the family."
Youtang laughed and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.Forgive me for still thinking she is sentimental, it seems that she can only be a "funny" in her life!
The Chuxiu Palace was very quiet tonight, because suddenly more than half of the side halls with more than 200 people left were empty.
Some people are happy and some are worried. Over here, Fusheng is still sad that sister Wu from the "A and B" room who often secretly gave her snacks has left; She barely passed the test without any risk, but Ziqi, who always advocates sixty long live, and a bit more waste, is very happy.
"Come, come! It's bedtime story time, my sister will tell you a story about Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs today!" Ziqi scrambled into the bed while waving at Fusheng.
But Fu Sheng, who usually runs fast when he hears a story, is surprisingly depressed today.
Ziqi was also puzzled, "Why don't you order less snacks in the future, because you are so reluctant to part with your sister Wu?"
Fu Sheng got into the quilt lightly, moved to Zi Qi's side and pouted.Looking at her dumbfounded face, Ziqi's face was bloodshot.
"Ning Xi, you don't understand," Fu Sheng said in a soft voice, like a puppy that keeps crying, "I used to be at home, and my brothers and sisters thought I was stupid and greedy and didn't want to play with me. But after I came here and had you, I listened to the stories you told in my room every night, and I went to tell them the next day. Although I was not as touching as yours, everyone liked it. Come and go, I have made a lot of friends. There are endless snacks every day. But now, more than half of them left at once. I also have less snacks, and I am afraid that I will be starved to death in the palace."
What the hell!Ziqi thought she was reluctant to be a good friend, and it turned out that she couldn't do without food, "Ye Fusheng! You actually use the story I told you to go out to cheat food and drink! How many times have I said that this palace is not as good as food?" At home, people’s hearts are sinister, so please be careful. It turns out that the most dangerous people are by my side! Tell me! How long have you been out cheating!"
Frightened by Ziqi's voice, Fusheng immediately rolled over from the bed and half-kneeled at the end of the bed with his buttocks pouted, worshiping Ziqi, who was sitting cross-legged on the head of the bed aggressively and cross-legged like a bodhisattva.
"It's not what you think." Fu Sheng pouted and hurriedly explained, "Didn't I ask them to borrow the line that day? They didn't want to borrow it, but they said they needed me to exchange it for them. I didn't have many snacks in my hand. And so I remembered the stories you told me at night."
"Liar!" Ziqi knew about it.On the first day, Ziqi got the acupuncture secret book given by Wang Gonggong and gave it to Fusheng. As a result, Fusheng was praised by the female secretary of the Shangfu Bureau that day, and the women in the "A and B" room looked jealous.When Fusheng went to borrow things the next day, they must have been thinking about those stitches, how could they just let this silly girl go after hearing a story?
"I didn't!" Fu Sheng was so anxious that his eyes were red, "At that time, I just wanted to try. If the story they told didn't sound good, they wouldn't borrow it. So I told you about Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves. The result was given to me. They talked for a while. They not only lent me things, but also gave me a lot of food, and told me to tell them every day, so..."
No wonder Fu Sheng has such a good relationship with those girls starting with the word "A" these days, hum!It turned out that it was taking advantage of Ziqi, "Then why don't you give me a share of the things you lied to!"
Seeing that Ziqi let go, Fu Sheng immediately ran over to tuck her in the quilt, "Didn't you always say that you want to lose weight, and you won't eat it at night."
"Then don't you know how to give it during the day?"
……
☆、Sky City
Castle in the Sky
The next morning, it was very late.The remaining [-] beautiful girls from Chuxiu Palace still came to the main hall with morning dew.
Today, four musicians from Shangyi Bureau came to the main hall with all kinds of musical instruments.A large number of musicians are playing "The Wild Goose Falls on the Pingsha" for everyone.Ziqi had heard Qingqiu play this piece before, but she didn't expect that the momentum of this multi-person ensemble was indeed far better than a single solo.
For ancient musical instruments, Ziqi has a headache.So when Qingqiu taught her musical instruments, she asked Lingyi and Brother Yang to help find skilled craftsmen to make guitars, triangle irons, drum sets and so on.Although Qingqiu can't recognize these western instruments that are hundreds of years old, music is such a magical thing, the so-called mastery of everything.Ziqi roughly taught Qingqiu fingering and scales. Three days later, Qingqiu played a guitar solo for Ziqi, and Ziqi was stunned.
Ziqi had very little luggage when she first entered the palace, and it was impossible to bring these things with her.Just after the song was finished, Ziqi was still stuck in her own fantasy, and the female history over there had already started ordering everyone to choose the instrument she was good at.
Fusheng dragged Ziqi around in front of the musician, but seeing Ziqi shaking her head and grinning, she simply ignored her and went to ask the musician who played the zither for advice.
In fact, she had already thought about Ziqi's musical instruments before she arrived, and asked Lingyi to help her find a craftsman to make many of them. She picked out her favorite tone and put it in her backpack.
In the previous three exams, Ziqi can be said to have passed the test with a crooked approach.But this time she is quite confident in the "Le" test.As a Maiba who has memorized [-] pop songs by heart, Ziqi still believes that she doesn't need to rely on luck for this exam.
But this "Le" test is the last official test. The 50 people left after this test will stay in the palace for a month, and after one month, three beautiful girls will be selected for the final competition.So everyone pays special attention to this game.In addition to practicing hard, the show girls are also very concerned about the practice of others.Because in this situation, Ziqi didn't take out her musical instrument, but practiced fingering silently every day.
In this way, in the daily music class, everyone not only actively practiced, but also privately gave some benefits to the experienced musicians, so that the musicians could also teach more.Ziqi was the only one beside her, with her hands raised in front of her face, without any musical instruments and making no sound, she just kept moving her fingers.Some people even began to spread whether she was insane.
Even when Fu Sheng Ye secretly asked her if she was practicing the flute or something, she shook her head and said nothing.
In this way, after ten days, it finally came to the day of the "Le" exam.
Because of the special nature of the "Le" test, they cannot be conducted at the same time, so the show girls were divided into two groups.The examiners are the Queen Mother, Uncle Wan Guo, and Si Le Nushi from the Shangyi Bureau.
Ziqi did a rough calculation, and it took 5 show girls an average of 8 hours for a [-]-minute piece of music. They were divided into two groups and played at the same time, and one side also took four hours.In addition, the Empress and Uncle Wan Guo had to rest halfway, so it was almost dark when it was Ziqi's turn to be at the bottom.
Fusheng and Ziqi were separated into two groups, and Ziqi was lucky to be assigned to the queen's side of the East Hall.Because Ziqi, the uncle of the West Palace, didn't believe in his taste, but in his character.
As soon as we arrived at Sishi, the empress and several female historians had already made it to the palace.It seems that the later in the draft, the queen began to pay more attention to it.After all, the crown prince and the future queen were chosen for the Ming Dynasty. Although the crown prince was not the queen's own, the prince's biological mother had passed away, and the future queen mother was still himself, and the queen had no biological children of her own, so the queen paid special attention to it at this time.This is choosing a daughter-in-law for myself, so I can't neglect it.After all, it is not easy to choose someone who can stand with you, and it is even more difficult to choose someone who can help you.
The show girls walked into the hall one by one with their own repertoire.Standing aside, Ziqi held her own musical instrument tightly in her hands, listening to the movements in the hall with her ears upright.Some are like mountains and flowing water, some are fresh and refined, and some are lively, which really makes Ziqi feel pressured.
Time passed minute by minute, but Ziqi who was waiting outside the hall could not relax at all. The more she heard the voices in the hall, the more nervous Ziqi felt.As the sky gradually darkened, the show girls waiting with her also disappeared one by one.
No matter how difficult this month is, we must not lose at the last hurdle.Ziqi hung the instrument in her hand around her neck, closed her eyes, and let herself gradually relax.Isn't this the same as the college entrance examination?The more you care about your grades, the more you fall behind.Instead of relaxing, she gets unexpectedly good results every time. After taking countless exams in three years of high school, Ziqi summed up these principles.Looking back on my original intention, is it just to compete with these irrelevant people for the first place?She let go of her dignity, gave up her persistence, and came here not to fight for power, but to walk in front of him step by step and tell him her own heart.No longer choose to give up because of who he is.
"The last one! Zhang Ningxi!" The servant and eunuch called Ziqi twice before she realized it.Holding the instrument in her hand, she took a step forward, never walking so confidently like today.
Ziqi walked up to the empress and made a big gift, and standing behind her were all the show girls who had already been shown.The three female historians in front of them were a little tired, and the empress was not even in the mood to speak, and waved her hands without raising her eyes.She had already figured it out, the last one was basically the same as being out.
Ziqi knew that the situation was not good for her.If her performance this time cannot be a blockbuster, then she will definitely lose.
Ziqi picked up the musical instrument hanging in her arms. It was the ocarina that Brother Yang found the most famous potter in Shuntian Prefecture to bake for her before she entered the palace. This was unprecedented in the Ming Dynasty.
Ziqi took the ocarina and nodded slightly at the three judges, but the female Shi was attracted by the small, exquisite and very special instrument in her hand.The people behind them also whispered about the strange thing in Ziqi's hand.Even Wan Hongran, who usually has eyes on the top of her head, couldn't help but take a few extra glances.Although the voices of the show girls were small, they could reach the ears of the empress.When the empress also raised her eyes at this peculiar musical instrument, Ziqi knew that she had succeeded at least half of the way.
Ziqi put the ocarina to her lips, and gently closed her eyes.One of her best songs is "Laputa in the Sky".The melodiousness of the ocarina and the clarity of the tune, accompanied by the cool wind and white snow, reverberated in the huge hall one by one.
There was no sound in the hall for a moment, and the show girls covered their mouths in surprise, fearing that the sound of sobbing would disturb the tranquility.
Everyone was amazed. The woman standing in the hall was obviously not amazing, but why could she play such a moving melody.This sound is more restrained than the sound of the flute, deeper than the sound of the flute, as mellow as a xun but more elegant.Coupled with this beautiful tune, the listener seems to be standing on the top of the cloud, with birds passing by and the breeze blowing.When I opened my eyes, I saw a quiet woman standing on the surface of the blue sea, blowing conch shells, and the clear waves wetted the corners of her skirt, but she was standing on the sea breeze and riding the wind and waves.
The sound of the flute really amazed everyone in the audience, even the uncle Guo in the apse hastily stopped the performance and rushed over to listen to it.
Just like that, the Chuxiu Palace, which was obviously overcrowded, suddenly seemed to be empty and quiet. Only the woman in the middle of the hall, wearing a long robe, played the sound of nature alone.
The last coda is very long and long, which makes people unable to extricate themselves for a long time.
"The so-called 'circling the beam for three days' is nothing more than today." The queen whispered, as if speaking to herself, but it also broke the silence in the hall.
Ziqi stood quietly and said nothing.
At this time, the empress who sat in the distance seemed to recognize her. When she saw the poem and painting that inspired her, the empress raised her head and took a look from a distance. Her eyes were still so clear, without any fear. No flattery and no tension.As the mother of a country and the lord of the harem, she has seen all kinds of human emotions over the years, but no one is as natural as her.
The queen turned to Eunuch Zhao beside her and asked her name, Zhang Ningxi?
"by!"
After the last formal exam, Ziqi successfully sent away a group of rivals in love, and without shedding tears to say goodbye to them, Ziqi has happily moved into a new room.Because there are fifty beautiful women left, there is no need to have sex with others.
Just after dinner time, Ziqi was tidying up her new room while humming a little song, when there was a merciless knock on the door.She didn't need to think too much about it to know that it was Fusheng, and she also passed the exam this time, which made Ziqi quite uneasy.While thinking about how to defeat everyone, at the same time, he was reluctant to leave Fusheng.But in the end, there is a difference after all, because Yi Ziqi's character will not share the man she loves with others.Hey, I have a headache!
As soon as Ziqi opened the door, before Ziqi could react, she saw Fusheng crawling inside with something half head taller than her.
"Hey, you're not welcome." Ziqi closed the door so as not to be blown out by the cold wind outside the door.Without saying a word, Fu Sheng started to spread out his own quilt, put his favorite pillows on the head of the bed, hid snacks in the cabinet, and brought all the wool from Ziqi a few days ago. Come prepared for the long battle.
"Ning Xi," Fu Sheng seemed to have made preparations. After putting everything away, he pulled Ziqi, who was completely defenseless, to the table, but he had already set up the stool and picked up the melon seeds. "Yesterday's 'Legend of the White Snake' Where did it go?"
"Hey! I won't be able to escape your clutches even if I'm separated?" I just want to be a quiet and beautiful girl, and you won't even give me a chance!
"It's just room sharing, we're still neighbors." Fu Sheng divided half of the melon seeds in his hand to Zi Qi, and comforted her cheerfully, "As the saying goes, 'One hundred years of cultivation can cross the same boat, and one thousand years of cultivation can make one sleep together', but we have' Sleeping together' fate, Ningxi, you can't forget me so quickly!"
All right!I have to bear the sins I have done with tears in my eyes!
"Last time we talked about Xu Xian and Bai Niangzi getting married..." After all, Fu Sheng couldn't be held back, Ziqi poured tea for herself while telling the story.
The author has something to say: I really like this song, it will always be a classic!
☆、Sky City
Castle in the Sky
The wind seems to be particularly cold tonight.Ziqi added charcoal to the fire several times while telling the story, but she still felt cold.Ziqi was born in the south and has always been resistant to heat and cold.This is her first winter here, without electric blankets, hand warmers, and cashmere vests woven by her mother...
A sneeze!
Ziqi, who was about to get under the covers, was frightened by the sneeze, and Fusheng at the table was still eating melon seeds, so it must not be her.
Ziqi immediately grabbed the small stool by the table and shielded Fu Sheng behind her, it seemed that this huge palace was not safe either.Ziqi walked to the window step by step, no matter how much Fu Sheng pulled behind her, she didn't make a sound.Anyone who dares to spy on me, Xu Ziqi, is brave enough!
Just when Ziqi had already walked to the window, holding the stool high with one hand and slamming open the window door with the other, Fusheng snatched the stool that was about to fall, scaring Ziqi and everyone outside the window. exclaimed.
Why use the word "public"?Ziqi poked her head out to take a closer look at the dense crowd of people outside the window, outside the door, and standing on the porch outside her room, which frightened Ziqi.Group peeping coming?
"You...you are..." My god, this sneeze killed a whole class.
"Sister, don't get me wrong, we...we are..."
"We are passing by! Yes! We are passing by!"
"Yes! We didn't mean to eavesdrop!"
Seeing the [-] to [-] girls outside the porch explaining at one go, with incoherent words, Ziqi suddenly felt three crows flying over her head.
"Passing by?" Ziqi was really drunk, "How do you explain the melon seed shells in your hands and on the ground?"
"This..." The girls hurriedly hid their hands back, did they treat my place as a teahouse?
"They are here to listen to the book!" The clear voice echoed in the snow, making everyone shut up.
Ziqi poked her head out, and happened to see a man standing at the end of the porch, leaning against the pillar with his arms folded, Wan Hongran with a disdainful expression on his face.Ziqi has never liked to have too much contact with other beautiful girls, but she still knows a thing or two about Wan Hongran.He had heard that Fu Sheng had mentioned some of her domineering deeds a long time ago, it seemed that Wan Hongran was a little concerned about Ziqi's ocarina in today's competition.
Ziqi doesn't want to cause trouble, but she is never afraid of trouble. Since she has shown her talents today, she already guessed that the days to come will not be too peaceful.Now that this is the case, let's take a step at a time.
"Since it's listening to books, how can we let the judges stand?" Ziqi walked forward and opened the door in two or three steps, and the girls stepped out of the way one after another. "Please come in!"
Originally thinking that Ziqi would get angry, Fusheng and everyone were ready to accept Ziqi's roar.But Ziqi in front of her was obviously not irritated by Wan Hongran's sarcasm, but instead laughed, which made everyone a little at a loss.
The two of them looked at each other quietly for 3 minutes, but they were so quiet that everyone's heartbeat could be heard.
Ziqi knew that the moment she opened the door was the beginning of the war. Without gunpowder, the heartless self in the past would die on the battlefield, and the living must learn to protect themselves.
At this moment, Wan Hongran is also very clear that Zhang Ningxi, who usually lives in seclusion and does not show much, should not be underestimated at this time.But in this cruel harem, it is no longer possible to live in peace with just that little trick to capture people's hearts.Regardless of the person in front of her, she is the enemy.Since I, Wan Hongran, have already stood here, I will never be inferior to others.Zhang Ningxi, you will be driven out of the palace wall by me, Wan Hongran, together with everyone else.
Wan Hongran was the first to walk into Ziqi's open room with strides.All the beautiful girls around her started running frantically to Ziqi's room as if they saw that the first person to eat crabs was not dead, so as to grab the best position, and even moved back to their own room The stools filled Ziqi's small room one by one.
Seeing that her originally empty and deserted room suddenly became hot, Ziqi was actually squeezed to sit on the bed, which was really funny.
"Ning Xi," now finally seeing the perpetrator, Fu Sheng bowed his head and walked to the bedside to admit his mistake, "Actually, my sisters already know that all my stories come from you, but you usually like to be clean, don't you?" I like to hang out with everyone, so my sisters only got to know you in today's game."
So, I have to thank today's game for making me famous.
"Sister Ningxi, don't blame Fusheng," said Ziqi, the beautiful woman in red sitting in the center, who remembered Fusheng talking about it. She seemed to be the daughter of a Beijing official, and her name was Ling Wei. "We also heard some things from Fusheng on weekdays. Let her tell us the novel little stories. Who would have thought that all these little stories are fascinating and the sisters have never heard of them, so today everyone gathers outside my sister's door."
"It's okay." Ziqi nodded lightly, and pulled Fusheng to sit on the edge of the bed together.Now that things have become like this, Ziqi can only push the boat along.It's a blessing, not a curse, and it's a disaster that can't be avoided. "Since the sisters are all sitting together today, let me explain Zhang Ningxi's rules first."
Hearing Ziqi change the subject, everyone's heart skipped a beat, and even Fu Sheng beside him became nervous.Does Ziqi still have to sit on the ground and raise the price?
"From today onwards, Zhang Ningxi's room will hold lectures at Haishi every day, half an hour a day, and I will rest for two days every seven days. Each person brings their own stools, food, and water. Also, there is not enough charcoal in my room. I don’t have enough snacks, so I have to bother you. If you think it’s appropriate, you can make friends with me. If you don’t like my meddling, I won’t stay if you leave now.”
After Ziqi said these words, the room was quiet for 3 minutes. It seemed that she was not used to Ziqi's straightforwardness.Ziqi carefully scrutinized everyone's expressions, and she could tell whether they were friends or foes in the future.Ling Wei in the middle was taken aback for a moment, then slightly raised the corners of her mouth.There were those who nodded secretly, some who were surprised, some who rolled their eyes, and some who got up to go out, all of which were expected by Ziqi, after all, she knew that not everyone could accept her arrogance.Only Wan Hongran in the corner is invisible to Ziqi.
After 3 minutes, everyone came to their senses, and immediately went back to the house to get snacks and make tea, only Wan Hongran was indifferent and Zhong Ziqi didn't ask much.After a while, Ziqi's room became warmer.Fu Sheng looked at the piles of snacks in front of her, and she decided that from now on, Zi Qi is her own sister, and no one can take her away!
Ziqi took a sip of hot tea in satisfaction, and started her first personal speech, "Today we will tell a new story, "Cinderella"..."
Ziqi recounted the story for half an hour with added fuel and vinegar.Consciousness blushed when she put down the teacup.Looking up at the girls in the room is even more intoxicating.Even the thousand-year-old iceberg Wan Hongran was in a trance.
What a harmonious picture.Sure enough, every girl has a princess dream.It seems that Ziqi's first personal speech was quite successful.
"Sister Ningxi," I don't know who started in the corner, "tell us another one." Suddenly everyone seemed to be awakened and began to chatter.It's not over yet.I'm done talking today, what else will I have to eat tomorrow!
Ziqi got up and opened the window, the snow outside had stopped.It was already late at this time, the sky cleared after the snow stopped, and the moonlight shone on the snow, making the outside of the house very quiet.
"Why don't I play a tune for everyone." Ziqi didn't look back at the expressions of the crowd, picked up the ocarina at hand and started playing. She didn't want to waste such a beautiful moonlight and snow scene.
Everyone here has heard how special Ziqi's songs are during the day. At this time, under the moonlight, looking at Ziqi's thin background, coupled with her clear and touching songs that go straight to the heart, no one wants to go bothering.
At this time, Youtang led Yang Shuojin to the Qianqing Palace with his new gadget of the day.But as soon as he arrived at the Qianqing Gate, he saw his father standing on the city wall.
"My ministers see the father." Youtang knew that the emperor had the habit of going out at night on weekdays.But since the death of Concubine Wan Gui, father has not been in such a good mood for many days.
"Tian'er come here." The emperor recruited Youtang to come forward, and the father and son went to the tower together, "The moonlight is good tonight, and Tang'er will accompany the emperor for a walk?"
"Yes." Youtang nodded and called Yang Shuojin behind him, "Father, the moonlight is beautiful, but it is winter after all, and you are in better health, so you can't suffer from the cold anymore."
The emperor nodded in relief. Among the many sons, only me, the prince, is the most beloved.
Youtang took the woolen glove that Yang Shuojin was holding, which was brought back by the prince today.I heard from him that Ziqi wove them by herself. They are called "gloves" and they are very effective in keeping out the cold.The ladies in the Shangfu Bureau have never seen this thing before, and it seems to be Ziqi's new trick.
Youtang took it over and gently put it on the father's hand, but when he looked up, he saw the same thing on the father's neck by the moonlight, "This..."
"It seems that Tang'er also got this good thing!" The emperor laughed and looked at Youtang who was a little surprised, "This is a new thing that was introduced by the Shangfu Bureau today. It’s warm again, so I put it on, how about it? Is it okay to go with this thing like tang’er?”
"Not bad, not bad." Youtang turned around and cast Yang Shuojin a look, which made Shuojin very puzzled.The prince clearly said that it was Ziqi's new product, so why did the emperor have it so quickly? It seems that the speed of the Shangfu bureau's clothes asking for rewards is getting faster and faster.
Youtang accompanied the emperor and walked slowly on the city wall. The moonlight and snowflakes illuminated the road, so there was no need to hold a lamp.
"I heard that this thing came from Chuxiu Palace again." The emperor chatted casually while walking.But this topic made Youtang a little terrified.
"My son, I know." Youtang helped his father up the steps, "The prince in the son's palace is helping the queen mother in Chuxiu Palace, so the son knows a little bit about it."
"Then do you know who did it this time?" Youtang couldn't hear the emotion in his father's mouth, it seemed to be a routine and a temptation.
"My son doesn't know yet."
"Oh, look at your father's memory!" The emperor laughed and patted his forehead, "Tian'er won't be able to see the beautiful girls selected for you today until after he has graduated from the top three. Yes. Although your father doesn’t care about the draft, your mother always comes here to talk about it, so I still know something new. There are so many talents in this year’s show girls. You look at the scarves, gloves, and ex-girlfriends. A few days of Jiugong chess, everything made me happy, I hope this time I can choose the best concubine for Tang'er."
Youtang supported his father as he walked all the way, he could feel that his father was really happy today.Thinking that all these things were done by Ziqi and could make the emperor so happy, Youtang felt very happy.
"Wait," just when Youtang was still a little distracted, there was a light and ethereal flute sound in his ears.
"It seems to come from over there." The father and son looked in the direction Shuo Jin pointed, and it was all white, which was the direction of Chuxiu Palace.
Shuojin had heard Ziqi's ocarina before, so he recognized it right away.
The father and son looked at the peaceful palace from a distance, and listened to the beautiful, gentle, and moving sound of the flute in their ears, and they were all in a daze for a moment.
What kind of feelings can play such a flute.This wonderful tune seems to be able to lead people into the empty valley as soon as it hits the ear, and the sound that floats in the ear does not seem to be like the sound of a flute, but more like the breeze on the grassland in the hometown.It makes people feel homesick after listening to it.
"Tian'er really doesn't want to know who she is?"
