    Unexpectedly, as soon as he raised his glass, it was snatched away by someone.  Mengdie turned her head in surprise, only to see Ling Zimo holding her glass of wine with displeasure in her eyes.  Only then did she come to her senses, how could she drink alcohol since she had just recovered from a serious illness?  So he stopped taking it back and just looked at him with a helpless smile.  Ling Zimo's displeasure disappeared, he smiled affectionately, raised his glass, and drank it down.  Others may not have seen the actions of the two, but Chen Yuyin and Wu Peiqing behind them saw them clearly.  Chen Yuyin chuckled, and said to Wu Peiqing in a low voice: "Sister, it seems that the prince has been in love with the princess for a long time!"

    Wu Peiqing wanted to grit her silver teeth with hatred, but she didn't dare to attack here, so she had to drink a few glasses of wine frequently.  Then he said bitterly: "Who knows what tricks this woman has used! Originally, the prince didn't even want to enter the bridal chamber!"

    Chen Yuyin looked puzzled: "That's right. I only heard that she has outstanding looks, but I haven't heard that she has any outstanding talents. I really don't know how to live in a place like Xuyuan.  The prince is attracted to you!" Then he sighed regretfully: "Sister, I originally had no virtue or talent, so it's only natural that I couldn't keep the prince's heart. It's really puzzling that you have both talent and appearance, but you lost to her.  Woolen cloth!"

    Wu Peiqing drank another glass of wine angrily, suddenly her heart moved, and she asked Chen Yuyin in a low voice: "Don't you often go to Xuyuan? She really has no talent?"

    Chen Yuyin thought for a while, nodded and said: "I went to her room a few times, and I only saw a few broken books. I guess it is possible to recite poems and compose Fu, but the singing and dancing instruments may not be as good as my sister."

    Wu Peiqing sneered: "Such qualifications are worthy of being Princess Yu!" After finishing speaking, she suddenly left the table with her wine glass in hand.  Chen Yuyin watched her get up, a sneer suddenly appeared on her lips.

    Holding the cup, Wu Peiqing walked up to the emperor's seat, knelt down and saluted: "I wish my father and emperor a happy new year and good health!" As she spoke, she drank the wine in the cup.

    It is common for a daughter-in-law to toast her father-in-law.  The emperor was in high spirits, nodded with a smile, and drank a cup.

    Wu Peiqing waited for the emperor to finish drinking, and then said: "I still have a merciless request today, I hope the emperor will allow it."

    "A merciless request?" The emperor said indifferently, "Let's talk and listen."

    "My son remembers the last state banquet where the Crown Princess performed a peony dance and amazed everyone. This year, Princess Yu is newly married, so I ask my father to allow Princess Yu to perform as well, so as to bring glory to my palace."

    After saying this, Ling Zimo frowned.  He looked at Mengdie, who was in astonishment, wondering why Wu Peiqing, who had never had any friendship, would come here suddenly.

    Ling Zimo got up immediately: "Father"

    The emperor didn't wait for him to open his mouth, and laughed: "So I wanted to save face! Such a good banquet, of course I should perform, I agree!" After saying that, he waved his hand, and the music officer immediately stopped singing and dancing.

    Seeing the sudden stop of singing and dancing, everyone fell silent.

    The emperor immediately said in a loud voice: "On this auspicious occasion, Qing and I bid farewell to the old and usher in the new together, and our hearts are full of joy. Princess Yu will perform a performance tonight, and I will share the appreciation with you."

    As soon as these words came out, all the ministers were full of welcome and agreement.

    Seeing that the situation is like riding a tiger, Ling Zimo can no longer shirk it, so he can't help but look at Mengdie worriedly.  Mengdie smiled lightly and shook her head slightly at him, signaling that there is no need to worry.  Then he got up and walked to the palace, knelt down to the emperor: "Thank you, father, for your permission!"

    The emperor smiled slightly and said, "I don't know what kind of art Princess Yu wants to present?"

    Just as Mengdie was about to speak, Wu Peiqing rushed to say: "My minister once heard that the lyre is what the princess is best at!"

    All I heard was a sound of gasps and surprises in the hall.

    It should be known that no matter what kind of musical instrument in the world, as long as you practice hard, you will be able to master it one day. However, the lyre is the only one, the theory is very mysterious, and the world usually dare not get involved easily.  People who are well versed in ancient methods, playing the qin, are said to shock the world and weep ghosts and gods.  But since ancient times, there are only a handful of people who can fully learn the infinity of the lyre.  Because women's hand strength is weak, when pressing the strings, the claw sound will inevitably be empty, so it is even rarer for women to play the lyre well.

    The smile on Ling Zimo's face disappeared, and he gave Wu Peiqing a cold look: "The lyre? How come this king has never heard of it?"

    Wu Peiqing's heart trembled, and she couldn't speak immediately.

    Concubine Ru, who had been silent all this time, said leisurely at this moment: "I think this is something that happened in the boudoir of my daughter's house. It's not surprising that Mo'er didn't hear about it, right?"

    Ling Zimo's eyes flashed, and he stopped talking.

    An intriguing light flashed in the emperor's eyes, and he asked Mengdie with great interest: "Is Princess Yu really good at the lyre?"

    At this time, everyone's eyesThey all focused on Mengdie, but Mengdie didn't even raise her head, and replied softly: "Yes."

    After only answering this one word, the hall was amazed again.  Even Ling Zifei, who had been idly watching the play, could not help showing a trace of surprise in his eyes at this moment.

    The emperor laughed and said: "Okay, there are very few people who are good at seven strings, today I look forward to feasting my ears!" As he spoke, he waved his hand and said to the little Hercules beside him: "Go and get the 'Yunyin' handle.  "

    Immediately, someone took the qin table and incense burner for Mengdie, and after a while, Lishi came out with the qin in his hands and placed them on the table.

    "Yunyin" is a famous piano in ancient times. Its origin cannot be verified. It was once the favorite of Su Jiang, a master of seven strings, more than a hundred years ago.  When General Su died, he wanted to be buried with this qin, but he feared that such a beautiful sound would not be passed on to the world, so he passed the qin on to his descendants. Later, the qin was stolen and disappeared.  Emperor Jingyuan of the first court had always loved Qixian, and by chance, he got this piano. He couldn't put it down and practiced it repeatedly, but he still couldn't play its wonderful sound.  After the death of Emperor Jingyuan, no one in the palace could play it, so this piano has been hidden in the deep palace.

    Mengdie cleans her hands and burns incense, sits down at the table slowly, and tunes the strings slightly.  Raising her eyes to meet Ling Zimo's slightly worried gaze, she smiled lightly and plucked the strings of the piano.  Everyone in the hall suddenly felt a gust of pine wind rushing towards them.

    She took another deep breath, concentrated her mind, and flicked her right hand lightly.

    Then I heard the pine wind drifting away, dissipating into the empty valley, and suddenly I don't know where, there is a faint sound of water dripping from melting ice and snow.  As the sound of the water becomes denser, the sound of spring water ding-dong can be heard clearly.  In the dense forest, the moonlight is dim, and there is a wild fragrance and a faint fragrance. After looking for the fragrance, the sound of the water gradually sounds, and there is a gurgling sound in my ears, but I don't know where it comes from.  When a gust of wind passed by, the forest tops rustled, and the perching birds were disturbed by the wind, fluttering their wings and chirping softly, and then gradually subsided again.  Everything is silent, only the sound of water is heard.  At this moment, the eyes suddenly brightened, and the bright moon broke through the clouds, illuminating the forest in a clear light.  But a few steps away, there is a stream flowing through the forest.  Under the moonlight, the flowing water is clear, the orchids are green, and the trees are beautiful and lush.  This situation makes people feel sober.  In a blink of an eye, another floating cloud passed by, quietly covering the moonlight, so everything was dim again, and only the gurgling of running water could be heard in the ears, gradually getting farther and lighter, and finally, it was inaudible.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
