The commotion in the hall became louder and louder. Shangguan Feng'er still closed her eyes and concentrated on playing the music. She didn't like to give up halfway. She didn't open her eyes until the end. She saw everyone in the hall looking outside the hall, following their gazes.
Looking outside the hall, I only saw a few birds flying in the air a few times, and then flew away quickly, and then the hall was noisy again.
Shangguan Feng'er and Liu Shishi stepped down from the stage, got off their seats together, and sat down next to each other.
The hall was much quieter at this time, but some people were still muttering privately.
"Qin Tian Jian, tell me what's going on?" The emperor's serious voice came faintly.
An official came forward with a happy face and said, "Your Majesty, it must be the princess's flute that attracts all the birds. This is a good sign."
After hearing what the official said, Shangguan Feng'er finally understood that the initiator of the commotion in the palace was actually a bird, and felt funny and strange at the same time.
She did not believe that the sound of her flute really attracted the birds, and it was not the magic flute she was playing, nor did she believe that birds could bring good omens.
If it were the biblical story of the dove of peace holding an olive branch in its mouth, Noah's Ark, then that would be a different matter. After all, the premise is a biblical story, and as we all know, biblical stories are myths.
Speaking of this jade flute, Shangguan Feng'er got it. It was indeed a bit different. When she was outside the palace, one day she and Liu Shishi went shopping and came to a street stall. She saw this jade flute at a glance.
The flute was exquisite, transparent and brilliant. I liked it very much and planned to buy it.
The old man running the street stall saw that she liked her so much and was asking for a high price. Shangguan Feng'er was naturally not a piece of meat left to be slaughtered, so he turned around and left.
Unexpectedly, the old man caught up with me and said that I could keep it low.
Shangguan Feng'er had long been accustomed to the old man's tricks. She thought that although she usually goes directly to brand stores to buy clothes in modern times, she is still a girl after all, so she still can't resist the temptation of street stalls.
One of the fun things about buying goods from a land stall is bargaining with the stall owner. Bargaining is a technical job. The stall owner and the buyer are like people pulled at both ends of a rope. If one side is strong, the other side is weak.
Shangguan Feng'er's favorite bargaining trick is to offer a price. If the stall owner says he won't sell it, she will leave. After she takes a few steps or two, if the stall owner thinks the price is right, he will call her back.
In this way, the transaction was completed. Although I knew that the stall owner had made a profit, I didn't feel that it was a big loss.
When the old man saw that Shangguan Feng'er said it was too expensive and walked away, he became anxious and ran to Shangguan Feng'er to block the way, "Miss, if you like it, then the old man can give it to you."
Shangguan Feng'er was a little surprised. She thought that the old man would call her back, but she didn't expect that the old man would give her the jade flute that he had just asked for for free. What made her even more confused was that the old man actually knew that she was a woman.
"Why do you want to send it to me?" Shangguan Feng'er looked at the old man in confusion, and his eyes said what kind of conspiracy you had.
The old man thought to himself that he had been too hasty just now. He didn't expect this little kid to be so alert. He smiled in surprise and said, "Because you are good-looking."
"Ah." Shangguan Feng'er was even more surprised.
Today she put on makeup specially when she went out. Her face was pockmarked and there were many scars. Her resolute face looked exactly like that of a man, and her breasts were not fully developed. She wrapped them with a piece of cloth and it was completely visible.
Not coming out.
When they walked out of the room, Shangguan Chen and others could not recognize themselves. The old man could actually recognize that she was a woman and said that she was very beautiful. Nowadays, no one on the street would think that she is beautiful.
She looked at the old man suspiciously. The old man couldn't help but regret that he had said the wrong thing again. He smiled at Shangguan Feng'er, put the jade flute directly into Shangguan Feng'er's hand, and ran away with his car.
When Shangguan Feng'er recovered from the shock, she saw that the jade flute was already in her hand. She thought that this old man was too weird. He was obviously a profiteer, but now he was engaged in a loss-making business.
Just now I thought he must have some conspiracy to give the jade flute, but I didn't expect that he actually gave it away and the person ran away.
Could it be that there was something wrong with the jade flute? Shangguan Feng'er took a thorough look at the jade flute and discovered a problem, that is, this jade flute was indeed a top-quality product.
She couldn't help but wonder if she really stepped in dog poop when she went out today. She was so lucky, but the old man had run away, and she couldn't find anyone to pay for it.
Having said that, it is inevitable that Shangguan Feng'er does not believe that birds can bring good luck, but it does not mean that others do not believe it.
"What's a good sign?" The emperor's voice softened a lot.
The official kept his head lowered, making it difficult for people to see his expression. "A hundred birds paying homage to the phoenix indicates peace and prosperity to our country, Yan."
"Okay, what a peaceful and prosperous world, hahaha." The emperor laughed heartily.
When everyone saw the emperor's face, they were overjoyed and knelt down one after another, saying, "My Lord is wise and the world is peaceful and prosperous." they kept hearing.
With such beautiful scenery and auspicious signs on such a good time, the emperor must have been so excited that he could hardly contain himself. "Everyone loves you, please be safe. Let the banquet continue."
