Chapter 145 Princess Anping became a foil
Zhang Lanyi frowned slightly and looked at Yan Wanqing.
Since the emperor was here, she couldn't say it directly.
Princess Anping has always shown her weakness to others. If she were to dance her sword in public today, according to the emperor's suspicious character, she would definitely make another move.
Zhang Lanyi was a little confused.
But she chose to do nothing and watch quietly.
Because she knew that Yan Wanqing's every move was carefully considered. If she planned to expose herself, she would prepare at least a thousand ways to come back.
Thinking like this, Zhang Lanyi turned his head and said to the grandmother beside him.
"Go and get my Jinghong."
Yan Wanqing tidied himself up and suddenly looked at Li Chengyuan with curved eyebrows.
"Miss Li San has outstanding talents, and her toasting poem made people's blood boil with excitement. It made me miss the scene when I was on the battlefield..."
Yan Wanqing's words made Li Chengyuan raise her chin proudly: "The princess is so complimentary, it's just a humble work, not worth mentioning."
A good sentence is not worth mentioning.
Yan Wanqing's smile deepened when he heard this: "Miss Li San is really a wonderful person."
At this time, grandma had already taken the Jinghong Sword and handed it to Yan Wanqing.
Yan Wanqing didn't shirk it. He took Jinghong out of his body for a while and discovered that it had never been sharpened.
Li Chengyuan saw her dressed up and took out her sword again... Was she going to do a sword dance?
"I have long heard that the princess is invincible in the green snake sword dance. Today, the princess is holding a long sword. Is she trying to recreate the past?" Li Chengyuan couldn't help but ask.
She had long noticed that ever since Xiao Hongshen moved his seat, his eyes always drifted to the opposite side, seemingly absent-mindedly.
After seeing Yan Wanqing nod again, she quickly thought of a countermeasure.
"It's just that the sword dance is a bit boring. I wonder if I can recommend myself to accompany the princess?"
Yan Wanqingpo gave her a meaningful look and did not refuse: "I didn't expect Miss Li San to play the piano. She is so good."
Li Chengyuan curled her lips slightly shyly: "As long as the princess doesn't dislike it."
What the two people said back and forth was listened to by the people around them.
The emperor was drunk at first, but when the concubine beside him whispered in his ear that Yan Wanqing wanted to dance with a sword, he still became interested.
"Oh? Anping is finally going to take a sword?"
Yan Wanqing held his sword and saluted the emperor: "The noble ladies must be tired from performing their talents. Miss Li San's song "You don't see me, the water of the Yellow River comes up from the sky" made Anping's heart agitated. Now his hands are itchy. I hope your majesty will give you permission.
Miss Li San played the piano to entertain Anping."
"It's been so many years." Memories flashed through the emperor's eyes. He held a wine cup and sighed: "It's been five or six years. This is the first time you have to dance a sword in front of others."
"Accurate!"
The emperor waved his hand, and Gong'e went to bring up the pipa that Li Chengyuan wanted.
Everyone saw Yan Wanqing and Li Chengyuan arrive on the stage, and they couldn't help but be shocked.
Li Chengyuan looked around and snorted in her heart.
Sword dance?
She will let Princess Anping know what it means to be a foil.
Li Chengyuan sat down slowly, holding a pipa to half cover her face, her posture was extremely graceful.
Yan Wanqing also covered his face with a veil. At the moment when the pipa played, the scabbard popped out, and a sword flew through the air in a graceful arc like a snake.
I have to say that Li Chengyuan plays the pipa very well.
If the poem just mentioned aroused the excitement in everyone's hearts, then this time, under the sound of pipa, the desolation and loneliness, the feeling of autumn troops on the battlefield mixed with the yellow sand in the sky, instantly pulled everyone to the battlefield!
The sound is cut off!
Clanging to the ears!
This was music that had never been played before. Everyone was silent with tears in their eyes amid the sound of the pipa. Even Xiao Hongshen, who had just resisted Li Chengyuan, was frowning and staring at her.
At the last moment, the pipa string broke, which was the finishing touch. The sound of the string breaking echoed over the stream and lingered in my ears for a long time.
Silence...
Li Chengxiang was in the crowd, staring at Li Chengyuan on the stage in shock, as if he had never known her before.
Third sister...how has she ever learned this?
She had never heard of Li Chengyuan Hui, not only the previous song "You Can't See the Water of the Yellow River Coming from the Sky", but also the current song with broken pipa strings.
Looking at the arrogant Li Chengyuan on the stage.
Li Chengxiang pursed his lips and his hands became cold at this moment.
She is not his third sister at all...
This idea exploded in Li Chengxiang's mind instantly.
I don't know if she noticed Li Chengxiang's gaze, but the woman on the stage followed his gaze and looked over.
Li Chengxiang clearly saw the red lips under the veil curling towards him in a strange arc!
A chill instantly spread all over my spine.
It was obviously a scorching summer, but she seemed to be in the coldest month of winter.
Her third sister... is not her third sister!
You must tell your father about this!
Li Chengxiang suppressed the gesture in her eyes and tried to breathe to calm herself down. At this time, everyone slowly calmed down and praised Li Chengyuan profusely.
I believe that after today, Miss Li San's reputation as a talented woman will spread throughout Kyoto.
After hearing this, the emperor's eyes were filled with enthusiasm and he clapped his hands in admiration.
"Did you compose this piece yourself?" the emperor asked.
When Li Chengyuan saw that the emperor asked herself first, she didn't even look at Yan Wanqing who was standing next to her. She nodded contentedly: "Report to your majesty, what I just did impromptuly."
"Can such a divine song be produced by improvisation?" The emperor was surprised.
Li Chengyuan's cheeks were flushed: "The little girl is not good at studying. Thanks to the princess dancing with the sword, she pulled the little girl into that feeling of desolation. Then she played it by mistake and showed her shame."
When the emperor was reminded by her, he saw Yan Wanqing standing next to him.
The girl wore a white veil and stood upright, like a strong pine tree. She was neither arrogant nor impetuous. Even if she had just danced with a sword as a foil, she could not withstand the slightest disturbance in her eyes.
The emperor coughed dryly and said, "Anping's skill in sword dancing is indeed as good as before."
Zhang Lanyi couldn't help but cast a sidelong glance at the emperor. She smiled sweetly and said, "The princess's sword dance is really as graceful as a mighty dragon. This palace will reward you with this sword."
In the late Qing Dynasty, Yan held the sword and thanked him: "Thank you, the Empress, for giving me the sword."
"Since the Queen has rewarded Anping, I will reward Miss Li San for her talent. She will be given thousands of fertile fields, the title of Lord of Yaochi County, and a reward of ten thousand taels of gold."
The emperor waved his hand and the reward was announced.
Most of the people here woke up after hearing the wine.
This Li Chengyuan won the title of County Lord with one poem and one piece of pipa.
Then there is no need for the remaining noble ladies to run for election as the seventh prince and concubine.
The emperor was clearly very fond of Li Chengyuan.
"Thank you for your grace! Long live your Majesty! Long live your Majesty!" Li Chengyuan put down her pipa, knelt on her knees, and thanked her excitedly.
The emperor was very happy and asked the maids to pour wine for everyone, and the atmosphere of the banquet became lively again.
"There are talented people from generation to generation, and the young ones are formidable. A little girl can be so talented. I heard that you have been helping the seventh prince with some important military matters recently." After Li Chengyuan returned to his position, the emperor asked with a smile.
.
As soon as these words came out, Xiao Hongshen next to him felt his heart skip a beat.
Father, what does this mean?
"Father, the third lady is just——"
The emperor's eyes, which were drunk and cloudy from the drink, looked at Xiao Hongshen, and he fell silent for an instant.
"I'm asking about Miss Li San."
Xiao Hong swallowed deeply.
Li Chengyuan wanted to prove her ability, so she nodded innocently: "Yes, I have been helping His Highness the Seventh Prince to study flint recently. When it is completed, it can be used in military affairs. I only need a small tube."
Kill hundreds of people."
As soon as she said this, she obviously felt that the air pressure around her body had dropped a little.
When she secretly looked at the emperor, she felt that his attitude was already gentle, like an older grandfather, which made her feel more cordial.
"It's a small tube, but do you have a specific amount?" the emperor asked Li Chengyuan with a smile.
