Volume 1: Huatangchun Chapter 19: She and the Ling family have no way out
After nightfall, Qingxi tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. His eyes fell on the Taixuan Qin placed on the desk, and he fell into worry.
The chamberlain is right, this Taixuan Qin does have a great origin. Ruan Xuannian, a world-famous musician from the previous dynasty, spent his whole life making and polishing this exquisite piano. It was passed down to future generations, and after several twists and turns, it entered the palace of the previous dynasty.
After the fall of the previous dynasty, this piano was never seen in public again. Unexpectedly, this piano is now still in the palace.
The Queen Mother gave herself such a unique and famous guqin, and her intention could not be more obvious. When my father heard the name of this guqin, he was also shocked.
She sighed deeply, put on her clothes and stood up, walked to the piano, gently held the strings, and the sadness between her brows gradually deepened.
She knew that her father made it so easy to refuse the royal marriage just to reassure her. If she was engaged now, then the royal family would have room to maneuver; but now she has neither an engagement nor an appropriate choice.
The reason is that rejecting the marriage of a prince in this way will really bring unpredictable troubles to the Ling family. What's more, now the royal family has expressed this intention so clearly. The Taixuan Qin sent by the Queen is even more
Leave her with no way out.
She pulled up her collar, walked to the window, and opened the window slightly. The spring night breeze came in instantly, making her shiver with a chill, and quickly made her mind clearer.
She thought of what happened in the library last night, what the emperor had told her when he entered the hall during the day, and how Prince Guang looked at her unkindly and paid attention to her engagement, and she felt even colder.
The emperor obviously knew that he was involved in the matter, but it was for this reason that Xu came up with the idea of granting a marriage. Did Prince Guang also discover something that led to his behavior in the daytime? Later, Xiao Yizheng took away the square
Embroidered handkerchief, this move is also extremely unusual, and the embroidered handkerchief seems to be damaged. Could it be that something was left behind last night?
All these things made her come to the conclusion that she and the entire Ling family might not be able to refuse this marriage. Compared with the future of her father and brother and the fate of the entire Ling family, her inner pursuit was nothing at all.
The next day, Ling Deyan and other officials traveled to Baoding Mountain and told Qingxi to follow the rules and thank the Queen. Qingxi tried her best to smile brightly and nodded yes, she could see that her father was not sleeping well.
After cleaning up, she took Yueying to thank the Queen.
She left Yueying outside the palace and entered the palace alone. When Queen Yuan saw her coming, she was full of smiles. She kept looking at her and said gently: "I was also abrupt. I just felt that I saw you at the Crown Princess's place yesterday.
I feel very happy in my heart, so the piano just represents a little bit of my feelings."
She bowed again and thanked her: "I thank you for your love, but the Taixuan Qin is too precious and I am very frightened."
"I wonder if you are good at playing the piano?"
"I know a little bit about it."
The Queen nodded: "I'm afraid you are being modest if you say you know a little bit. Yesterday at the Qing Poetry Meeting, you were so modest. A sword is given to a hero, and a famous piano is given to a beauty. You don't need to be afraid. The Taixuan Qin is left here with me.
Covering up its brilliance and giving it to you is the best place for that piano. I hope you can use it to play cadenza."
Qingxi thanked him again.
The queen asked her some common questions, such as her maiden name, her family situation, her hobbies, etc. She answered them one by one. Finally, the queen said softly: "That child Liu Lang has not liked to be restrained since he was a child. He has a free and easy mind.
Sex, he started traveling when he was sixteen years old. I know there are many rumors and speeches about him outside, so don’t take it to heart if there are some that don’t appeal to your ears. What kind of person is he?
You know." She smiled and paused: "Look, let me tell you what King Heng did. Okay, okay, I'm tired after talking for a long time, you should go back and rest."
After Qingxi withdrew, she took a deep breath. Yueying hurriedly came up to her and whispered to her all the way back. She said that while waiting outside, she heard many female guards discussing Qingxi and her poetry meeting yesterday.
They discussed the emperor's appreciation for her, and privately speculated that she was going to marry into the prince's palace.
"Miss, is it true?" Yueying finally asked in a low voice with an expression of curiosity, surprise and expectation. Qingxi glanced at her, and she immediately fell silent.
Qingxi sighed again. Look, she had no way out.
In the evening, Ling Deyan hadn't come back yet, but an attendant came to say that he was at Shen Ziru's place, so that he didn't have to worry. After Qingxi finished his dinner, he felt that he could no longer be bothered by this matter and had a headache, so he had to relax.
. This thought came together, and no matter how hard it was to let go, he just said it: "Yueying, take the Taixuan Qin, let's go and enjoy the spring moon in the Yuting Pavilion."
"Miss, is this inappropriate? Let's keep a low profile!" Yueying refused.
"What are you afraid of? We have a token. We didn't say that it is forbidden to go to Yuyue Pavilion. We will go down the mountain tomorrow. We have come here and gone through all the trouble. If the spring moon in Yuting is not rewarded, it will be a big loss."
"But?" Yueying was still hesitant.
"If you don't go, I'll go alone." Qingxi said and went to pick up the guqin.
"I'm going, I'm going, I'm going!" Yueying muttered: "There is such a girl who is not afraid of causing trouble, why should I be afraid of going!"
Qingxi took the token and walked through most of the palace based on the path he remembered yesterday, and finally arrived at Yuyue Pavilion.
Yuyue Pavilion is located at the highest point of Baoding Mountain, and there are no patrol guards at this time.
On the willow branches in the moonlight, people are quiet and the azaleas are red.
Yueying placed Taixuanqin on the stone table in the pavilion, stepped forward and looked into the distance, sighing: "Girl, is this the Spring Moon of Yuting?"
Qingxi looked up at the full moon, closed her eyes, sniffed the fresh air with a slight grass scent, and nodded. "Look, the moonlight shines on the entire valley, and the red color of the cuckoo spreads when it encounters the moonlight, making it even more beautiful.
It creates a hazy beauty. The outline of the mountain peak naturally forms a shadow under the light of the moon, as if a woman is looking down at the flowers. Such a beautiful and artistic picture is the famous scene of Baoding Mountain: Jade Pavilion.
Spring Moon."
Yueying looked along the direction of her hand and sighed sincerely: "It's so beautiful!"
Qingxi looked at her intoxicated. He walked to the stone table and placed the guqin in place. He placed cushions on the stone bench, sat down and raised his hands, and a note floated away. A song called "Lovesickness Sigh",
The sound of the piano is gentle, like flowing clouds and flowing water, and the music is flowing.
Yueying turned her head to look at her young lady from time to time, then looked at the beautiful scenery under the pavilion, listened to the melodious music of the piano, and felt the breeze in the mountains. She felt that she was enjoying herself very much.
The two of them were each in their own intoxication, so they naturally failed to notice that there was a person standing not far away from the pavilion at this moment.
