"Everyone, get up. Here today, I do not exist as an emperor, but only as a father." The emperor looked at the people kneeling on the ground and said with a smile.
After hearing this, everyone's faces relaxed a lot.
When Yan Yan looked at him, the coldness in his eyes turned away, and a kind smile appeared on his face, making people feel that the distance between him and him was much closer.
"Father." Qi Feng walked up to the emperor and called softly to the emperor who was deep in thought. Every time he went to Min Feng Residence, his father would think of the beautiful memories he had with his mother and concubine.
"Lao Qi, you are already twenty this year, and it is time for you to get married." The emperor came back to his senses and smiled at Qi Feng, who was standing respectfully in front of him, his eyes full of fatherly love.
"Thank you for your concern, father. However, I don't want to get married yet. The war in the surrounding areas has just subsided, and I also want to rest for a while before considering getting married."
The emperor glanced at Zhao Yue, who was sitting not far away, and then at his beloved son in front of him. He thought to himself that he liked Zhao Yue very much, and Lao Qi was a son he valued, and he always hoped that they could be together.
In the past few years, I have also acquiesced in their marriage. They have been waiting for these years, so I am not in a hurry and will marry them on another day.
Min Fengju was filled with the chatter and laughter of loving father and son. Yanyan looked at all this and felt that it was so far away from her. She thought of her birthday, when her whole family happily celebrated her birthday together.
Although the current scene was somewhat unreal, the superficial harmony still reminded her of her parents who were far away in another time and space. She really wanted to go home, and she really wanted to feel the love of her parents.
Yanyan sat under an osmanthus tree.
His fingers gently touched the strings, and the familiar sound suddenly sounded in the night sky, unusually loud and ear-piercing.
Everyone's eyes turned to him, and their breath was taken away in an instant. Yanyan looked at everyone in a panic. He just touched the strings because he was temporarily absent-minded, and it produced such a crisp sound.
The emperor also looked at her.
Qi Feng hurriedly leaned over and said: "Father, she is a maid in Erchen's palace. Because she plays the piano well, Erchen also likes her, so Erchen asked her to come over and play a piece for everyone.
"
After saying this, everyone was shocked for a while, with different expressions on their faces.
Prince Qi Yi had a look of astonishment on his face. He had never expected that he would say it on such an occasion.
The third elder brother, Qi Yu, had an indifferent look on his face. The more chaotic things were, the better.
Zhaoyue Gege had a cold look on her face and returned to her previous cute expression. Her plan had to be implemented in advance.
…
The emperor looked at him in astonishment because of his voice of liking. Could it be that he didn't want to get married now because of this woman? He looked at Yan Yan who was sitting by the piano again, and said in a royal manner: "Play the music first.
Let me listen to a song."
Yan Yan raised her head and met Qi Feng's eyes. He looked at her steadily. Yan Yan calmed down inexplicably, and his eyes seemed to give her strength. But, what was he just saying? Does it matter if he likes her?
Not wanting to think too much, Yanyan lowered his head and played the piano, and the sound of the piano instantly tore the night apart.
The silence of the night is deeper, and everything is silent.
Only the sound of the piano lingers endlessly.
A woman in plain clothes sits tall and plays the piano quietly.
The sound of the piano is gurgling.
Sometimes it is like a stream flowing through the mountains, crystal clear, with clear water waves, and the pebbles at the bottom of the stream are sparkling, as if every pebble has its own little joy, little sadness...
Sometimes they are like small animals walking in the snowy mountains, cute and cute, leaping with all four legs, leaving deep and shallow footprints in the snow, as if every step is happy...
Everyone was silent and their eyes were focused on the woman in plain clothes. They were mesmerized and couldn't help themselves by the sound of her piano, as if they had fallen into a poetic fantasy.
With the last note, Yan Yanqiao closed her fingers, and the song ended.
After the lingering sound lingered for a while, everyone seemed to slowly wake up from the illusion, and the cheers and praises rose like a tidal wave.
"Okay, you really played the piano well." The emperor clapped his hands happily and praised sincerely, with a strange light shining in his eyes.
Yan Yan hurriedly stood up and saluted, and raised his head to meet the prince's eyes. He smiled at her, his smile was like a beautiful jade containing the spiritual energy of the sun and the moon, elegant and moist, and it went straight into Yan Yan's chest.
"There is no need to salute." The emperor said to Yan Yan, then turned to Qi Feng and deliberately ignored his previous words about how he liked this woman: "There are really crouching tigers and hidden dragons in the old seventh palace. There is such an elasticity."
A woman with good piano skills.”
Qi Feng looked at Yan Yan with a smile on his face. He wanted her to steal the spotlight today just to declare that she was from his Yuyang Palace. To tell everyone that she was his, he would not dare to see her in the future.
Act wantonly.
The emperor sat here for a while and then left, saying that he was here and they couldn't let them play as much as they wanted. Yanyan suddenly felt her heart drop. She was most afraid of seeing the emperor. The emperor she liked was like that
Such a moody person can kill anyone at will.
However, the emperor she saw seemed different from the emperor she imagined. Although his eyes looked cold, based on the intuition he just gave her, he was not a foolish king.
The moonlight is bright and clear.
The sweet-scented osmanthus tree is full of yellowish flowers, which seem to be covered with a layer of crystal splendor under the moonlight.
A breeze blew up.
The petals of the sweet-scented osmanthus floated down, falling on Qi Feng's shoulders and on Yan Yan's eyelashes.
Yanyan blinked his eyes, and the petals slowly slid down.
Exquisite gold wine bottles, ivory chopsticks inlaid with rubies, and stunning dancers danced seductively among the seductive sounds of silk and bamboo. All the elder brothers wished the seventh elder brother a happy birthday while changing glasses.
Third elder brother Qi Yu sat quietly on the wooden chair. Danfeng's eyes were already a little drunk, and his fair face was flushed with alcohol. He held the wine cup in his hand, but forgot to drink. He narrowed his eyes and looked at Yi in ecstasy.
Sitting under the sweet-scented osmanthus, quietly playing the music.
The twelfth elder brother followed the third elder brother's gaze and looked over, feeling secretly shocked.
The woman in plain clothes just sits quietly under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree. She has no gorgeous clothes or shining ornaments, but is like a proudly erect snow lotus, with a dazzling light that makes people unable to open their eyes.
He has seen countless beauties.
However, this woman in plain clothes is so breathtakingly beautiful that she looks like a phoenix bathing in fire, making people breathless.
"Isn't she the maid that Brother Seven brought back? Why is she so beautiful all of a sudden?" Brother Twelve murmured to himself. He really couldn't imagine that she was the maid who scolded him at the Western Wall that day.
Qi Yu raised his eyebrows and glanced at him, with a strange smile on his lips. This statement would be the most perfect chess piece in his plan. He couldn't help but look under the osmanthus tree again.
"Tired?"
"Why are you talking like this all of a sudden?"
Yan Yan was frightened by his sudden tenderness, and looked at Qi Feng who was squatting beside him as if he were a monster, and his whole body shivered.
"Don't you have anything to say to me?" Qi Feng stared at him, wanting to hear her say that she liked him too.
"No." Yan Yan blurted out.
"Didn't you hear what I said just now?" Qi Feng looked at her angrily. How could she ignore what he said?
"What words?"
"You - you did it on purpose." Qi Feng was so angry that her face turned red, and she felt disturbed.
Suddenly Yanyan thought about what he might have said, and her face turned red inexplicably. She could only pretend to be dumbfounded, pretending to be natural and not look at him.
"I said I like you, did you hear me?" Qi Feng angrily approached her ear and yelled.
"I'm not deaf, why are you so loud?" Yanyan's ears buzzed and her face turned red and green. When she heard him say he liked her, her heart jumped. However,
She obviously likes the prince.
Everyone turned their attention to the two men, and the surroundings suddenly became quiet.
Yanyan raised her head in embarrassment and met the prince's eyes. Like a deer stumbling around, she lowered her head and did not dare to look at him again. Staring at Qi Feng, the culprit beside her, she said angrily: "It's all you, everyone is watching now
It's so ugly looking at us."
"They can watch it if they like. I can't control that much. Now, I just want to ask you, do you like me?" Qi Feng came closer to her, stared at her beautiful face, and asked her word for word.
"Ah, I can't stand it anymore." Yanyan pushed him away fiercely, stood up, and ran out of everyone's sight.
Finally tired of running, Yanyan stopped to catch her breath. When she thought that he had just approached her and asked her if she liked him, her face was so hot that she was surprised.
She shook her head desperately and muttered that it was impossible, absolutely impossible. It was impossible for her to like him. It was he who brought her into the palace, so she hated him and it was impossible for her to like him.
There was a sound of footsteps, and Yan Yan was busy hiding in the darkness.
"She definitely did it on purpose. Let's see if I don't teach her a lesson when I catch her." Qi Feng's voice was heard with hatred.
"Brother Qi, please stop scolding me. I've heard you scold me many times along the way. I'm obviously so nervous that I can't even speak rudely. I'm afraid I've found her, but I can't bear to scold her anymore."
Brother Jiu's voice sounded from the side.
"Where did this girl go? Where could she go so late? What if she encounters danger?" Hearing his voice sounded nervous again, Yan Yan felt warm in her heart.
"I said Brother Qi, can you put away your worries? This is the palace, where will there be any danger? Besides, you just declared your sovereignty in front of everyone, who else dares to take her idea?
Ah. Just be rest assured, maybe she has gone back."
"Look if I catch her, I will never let her go." Qi Feng's voice gradually became quieter with hatred.
Brother Jiu's laughter also gradually died down.
Hearing their voices gradually getting smaller and quieter, the speaker walked out from the darkness. Looking at the bright moon in the sky, and then looking around, she didn't know where she was for a moment. There was no palace lantern, only moonlight, listening
Hearing the sound of his own heartbeat, Yanyan felt that the place suddenly became gloomy, and hurriedly took steps to run in the direction they left.
