Luo Youdu looked at his daughter-in-law who was studying the music score seriously, and then played with his little cotton-padded jacket for a while. When he saw that the little kid showed signs of crying, he hurriedly handed it over to the wet nurse in the palace.
When he returned to the palace, Emperor Zhou E was sitting on the bed writing.
Luo Youdu walked in and took a closer look. In order to win over Gao Huaide in his early years, he had been exposed to music and had certain skills.
Over the years, I have learned a lot about Zhou Ehuang in a simple way, and I am able to understand the music scores of this era.
Zhou Ehuang seemed to be rewriting "The Song of Colorful Clothes and Feather Clothes", but he soon noticed something was different.
Zhou Ehuang was not rubbing, but revising...
Zhou Ehuang looked at "The Song of Colorful Clothes and Feather Clothes" seriously, and connected it with others. Shi'er hummed softly, and Shi'er began to think about it before writing.
Sensing Luo Youdu's approach, Emperor Zhou E took a look and said, "Your Majesty, is this "The Song of Colorful Feathers" not the original?"
Luo Youdu shook his head and said: "I don't know. I found it from Liu Yun's treasure chest. I don't know if it is because it can be regarded as a treasure by Liu Yuan. It should be of some value."
Zhou Ehuang said confidently: "It is true that this is "The Song of Colorful Feather Clothes". Maybe I made a mistake when copying it, or I encountered some accident." She pointed at the music score and said: "Here, and here, it is obvious that the top and bottom are unfamiliar.
.There is also this section. This section should be most appropriate to use the harp. The timbre of the harp is clearer, more ethereal, and more distinct. The use of the mellow and distant guzheng here seems a bit nondescript."
"Especially in the middle sequence, the pipa, which has heavy metal and stone sounds, is directly connected to the guzheng, which is not smooth enough. Using the konghou can avoid such problems..."
Emperor Zhou E made several mistakes in a row and spoke eloquently.
It turns out that with the turmoil of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, music scores such as "The Song of Colorful Feather Clothes" and "The Music of King Qin Breaking the Formation" were lost due to the war, and only a few unique copies have been circulated in the world.
"First Evolution"
The Song of Colorful Clothes and Feather Clothes written by the Southern Han Dynasty comes from Li Guinian, a music saint of the Tang Dynasty.
After the Anshi Rebellion, Li Guinian went into exile in Xiangtan, and among his relics is "The Song of Colorful Clothes and Feathers".
However, due to the unfavorable protection of later generations, "The Song of Colorful Feathers" was infested by insects and was damaged in many places.
The music scores obtained in the Southern Han Dynasty were the remnants of them, which were repaired by the musicians of the Southern Han Dynasty.
Zhou Ehuang's talent for music was astonishing. He could see the traces of repairs at a glance and felt that the repairs were not perfect enough, so he made improvements.
Luo Youdu had a deep understanding of his wife’s musical talent.
The real prosperity of a country includes not only the military economy but also various aspects of culture, and the culture of rituals and music is one of them.
The Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms are recognized as an era in which rituals collapsed and music collapsed.
In order to reorganize the order, the civil servants in the court took great pains to restore rituals and music.
Dou Yan, the younger brother of Prime Minister Dou Yi, was responsible for the reordering of Yale.
But there was a deviation in the tone and the progress was not smooth.
Finally, under the guidance of Emperor Zhou E, the problem was solved and "Yu Le" was published.
My beloved concubine said that there are flaws in "The Song of Colorful Dresses and Feathers", and she is absolutely not wrong.
Luo Youdu asked: "Do we need officials from Taichang Temple to help with the repairs?"
Emperor Zhou E gently shook his head and said: "It's just for repairs. I am enough for you. The only rare thing is that in addition to the pipa, "Neon Dress and Feather Clothes Song" also has chimes, zithers, xiaos, flutes, konghou, 筚篥, sheng and other musical instruments. I think about it carefully.
After a long while, I couldn't change the tune into a solo. At least it needs to be supplemented by guzheng and konghou to keep the charm. I'm afraid I won't be able to play it alone for His Majesty to appreciate."
There was a bit of disappointment in her words.
Luo Youdu hurriedly said: "Mrs. Huaxin can play the guzheng, but as for the konghou... If it doesn't work, let Concubine De come learn it, and if it doesn't work, it's okay if I come to my husband to learn it. We are all our own people, so it doesn't matter."
Concubine De is just like Zhe Saihua, but thinking about Zhe Saihua's character, in the end she felt that she was more reliable.
Zhou Ehuang covered his mouth and chuckled: "Sister Fei knows how to guzheng?"
She rudely ignored the rest of the sentence.
Luo Youdu had admired Mrs. Huaxin's skills and nodded: "It has the style of everyone, but it is far from the master of Aifei."
Emperor Zhou E was quite pleased with it and said: "This is easy. When the younger sister comes to the palace next time, let the younger sister play the harp..."
Luo Youdu was quite confused when he heard the word "little sister".
Zhou Xiaomei, a very talented beauty, has gradually grown in recent years and has become more and more lively. She is different from the dignified and cold Zhou Ehuang. Zhou Xiaomei has a lively and quirky personality, very much like the girl next door, but she is innocent.
There is a lot of scheming hidden under the face.
Zhou Xiaomei likes to dance. She is a natural beauty, and her dance moves are particularly moving.
After entering the palace, she often showed off her self-taught dance to Emperor Zhou E and asked him to play for her to entertain her.
Luo Youdu naturally became the only audience.
At first, Luo Youdu watched it with great interest, and more than once he sighed in his heart: God knows if the snobbish old guy Zhou Zong saved the world in his previous life.
It was not enough to give birth to a Zhou Ehuang, there was also such a cute little cotton-padded jacket.
But as the frequency increased, Luo Youdu also noticed something fishy.
When Zhou Xiaomei was dancing, she would wink at him from time to time.
At first, the little guy's charming eyes were full of mischief, but as the little girl's figure got better and better, the charming eyes took on a bit of enchantment.
As the lord of the world and the king of a country, Luo Youdu was often tempted by this. He saw Zhou Xiaomei's little thoughts and felt a little complicated in his heart.
Zhou Xiaomei is indeed beautiful, but if Luo Youdu remembers correctly, the little girl is only fourteen...
Luo Youdu said somewhat perfunctorily: "Little sister, can you play the harp?"
Zhou Ehuang said: "In order to compete with Yan Yan, I have learned it specially and have some basic skills, but what my little sister is best at is dancing. By the way, Yan Yan likes the konghou, and her skills are much better than that of my little sister. Let Yan Yan
Play and let the little girl dance, then it will be perfect."
The Yanyan in her mouth is naturally Xiao Chuo.
With the death of Xiao Siwen, sisters Xiao Hunian and Xiao Chuo completely let go of the past and settled in Bianjing, living with Lao Hu and now Chai Kehong.
Lao Hu misses Chou Chou and visits the palace from time to time.
Sisters Xiao Hunian and Xiao Chuo will also accompany them into the palace.
Emperor Zhou E also had some acquaintances with Xiao Hunian and the Xiao Chuo sisters.
Xiao Chuo, in particular, was extremely talented and had become a young talented girl. She also fell in love with the musical instrument of the harp.
When Xiao Chuo entered the palace, he asked Emperor Zhou E for knowledge in this area.
Zhou Ehuang was a musical prodigy who played many musical instruments, so he was more than capable of giving guidance to Xiao Chuo.
Luo Youdu smiled and said: "If these two little guys want to work together, I'm afraid it won't be that easy."
Emperor Zhou E thought the same thing. The two girls were not born to deal with each other.
Occasionally, they get together to enter the palace, and they are always quarrelsome.
Luo Youdu knew Xiao Chuo's nickname Xiao Leofeng.
When Zhou Xiaomei first learned the konghou, she also wanted to beat Xiao Chuo.
However, Zhou Xiaomei is extremely talented in dancing and also has a certain talent in music. However, she is not as good as Xiao Chuo when it comes to the konghou and she is so angry that she stops learning.
Luo Youdu looked at Emperor Zhou E and said, "We'll talk about this later. My dear, look, it's getting late..."
Zhou Ehuang glanced at her shyly and said, "I'm going to take a bath!"
