…
There were hundreds of guests attending the banquet.
Every two people have a seat, and Gui Xingfu and Gui Qinshao, their father and daughter, sit on the main seat.
As a descendant of the royal family and a duke, Jiyou has the most noble status and is alone at the top.
Suo Lun and Suo Ning Bing, the so-called hosts and guests tonight, sat in the first seat on the right. Opposite him was Qing Chengzi, a disciple of Sword Master Bi Xiao, who also had one seat per person.
When I returned home, I heard the banquet was opened, and immediately delicious food, delicacies from mountains and seas were served to me like flowing water.
Sauron took a look. Whether it was meat, vegetables, or fermented melons and fruits, most of them were commonplace, but they were made very exquisitely. There was only an occasional dish, which was very rare.
This means that Gui Xingfu pays great attention to details in life, but is definitely not extravagant.
Sauron was hungry for a long time, so he rolled up his sleeves and ate happily.
Most of the nobles present had only a small taste of the delicacies on their seats. Seeing Sauron turning away from eating like this, they couldn't help but show a slightly surprised expression.
Of course, no one would do such a thing as curling one's lips openly with disdain. After all, there were all respectable people present.
Guixing looked at him with full of love. After Sauron stopped his chopsticks for a moment, he raised his wine glass and said: "This is the first glass of wine today. I wish our king a long life and may our kingdom be prosperous."
.”
As soon as these words came out, everyone immediately raised their glasses and drank it all.
Immediately afterwards, Gui Xingfu filled another glass of wine and said with a sad look in his eyes: "This second glass of wine is dedicated to my brother Sauron who was under the Nine Springs. He fought in all directions for the sake of the kingdom and devoted himself to his life. He died young.
His passing is the pain of the kingdom, the pain of Sox, and the pain of my heart when I return home."
After saying that, he poured out half of the wine in the glass and drank half of it.
Sauron and Suoning Bing left their seats, knelt on the ground, poured their drinks on the ground, and paid homage to Earl Sauron under the fountain.
Then, Gui Xingfu poured another glass of wine and said, "This third glass of wine has three meanings."
Suddenly, everyone listened carefully.
Returning back, he said: "This is the first meaning. Thank you for the arrival of Prince Youyou, who has made my Earl's Mansion shine."
Immediately, everyone raised their wine glasses and saluted Prince Dayou.
Gui Xingfu continued: "The second meaning is to receive the wind and wash away the dust for my nephew Sauron."
Now, there are almost no people who respect Sauron from afar.
Gui Xingyan continued: "The last meaning is to wish my little daughter a happy twentieth birthday."
After saying that, he returned home and drank it all in one gulp, and everyone drank too.
Suo Lun was suddenly shocked. Gui Qinshao's twentieth birthday seemed not to be today, but nearly a month away.
Gui Xing said negatively: "Of course. There are still more than twenty days before my little girl's birthday. However, taking this opportunity to cleanse the world of Sauron's nephew, I will also hold a birthday banquet. It will not be held on the birthday.
oh."
"It doesn't matter." Gui Qinshao said, her attitude still very arrogant.
After three glasses of wine, the guests present presented gift lists one after another, all of which were birthday gifts for Gui Qinshao.
And every gift is very precious.
Only Sauron did not prepare any gifts. He shrank his eyes slightly, he had been tricked. No one told him that tonight's banquet was not only for himself to wash his hands, but also to celebrate Gui Qinshao's birthday, and it was ten years in advance.
One day for birthday.
All the guests present had prepared gifts. But Sauron was the only one who had not prepared any, and it was too late to prepare now.
He, Suolun, is still Gui Qinshao's fiancé, and he planned to propose to her tonight, but now Gui Qinshao doesn't even prepare a gift for her birthday. What an oversight. She will propose like this later.
After everyone had given gifts, there were only the last three most important people who had not yet given gifts.
These three people are Qingchengzi, the chief disciple of Sword Master Bixiao, Jiyou, a disciple of the royal family, and Sauron.
Qingchenzi stood up from his seat, holding a box and said: "Junior sister, this gift is not from me, but Master asked me to give it to you. I wish you a happy birthday." "Thank you, Master, thank you, Senior Brother."
." Gui Qinshao took the box and opened it.
She only saw a sword lying inside the box, and her beautiful eyes suddenly lit up.
This sword, from the hilt to the blade, is completely integrated. It is crystal clear, as if it is transparent.
Gui Qinshao's beautiful eyes were bright, and she said in a trembling voice: "Qiu Shui? Is Master finally willing to give it to me?"
Qiushui Sword is the sword used by the sword master Bi Xiao before he was thirty years old.
The entire sword is completely forged with secret gold. It is as light as water, unparalleledly sharp, and indestructible.
No matter how much this sword is worth, the secret gold mine required to simply forge this sword will cost at least several thousand gold coins.
In addition to the forging process of this sword and the fact that it was once used by the sword master Bi Xiao, it is completely priceless.
Gui Qinshao has been coveting this sword for a long, long time. She has tried to please Bi Xiao many times, but she always got the same reply. The time has not come yet.
Unexpectedly, at today's banquet, Master actually gave this sword to me, which was the biggest surprise.
Gui Qinshao couldn't wait to swing the sword, and suddenly the sword was like a swimming dragon, with water flowing everywhere. The lightness, magic, and spirit of this sword were completely unmatched by other swords. She couldn't put it down immediately.
The gift given by Qingchengzi on behalf of Master shocked the whole audience.
Now, there are only two people left who have not sent gifts.
Suddenly, everyone's eyes turned to the last two important guests, one was the noblest Crown Prince Ji You, and the other was Suolun, Gui Qinshao's nominal fiancé.
Seeing all eyes focused on him, Prince Jiyou stood up and said, "Miss Gui Qinshao, I know it's your birthday, so I didn't prepare any gifts."
As soon as these words came out, everyone quickly prepared to flatter him, saying that the arrival of Prince Yu You would be the best gift.
Youyou continued: "However, I composed a piece of music specifically for you. And this piece of music has probably been... conceived for more than three years, and it was not finalized until I saw you again just now."
As soon as these words came out, everyone immediately burst into admiration. They said that this was the most precious gift, and they had been preparing it for three years.
Some people even exaggeratedly patted their ears. They even wetted their brocade handkerchiefs with wine and wiped their ears to show that they were all ears.
"Everyone, everyone here is considered blessed." Guixing said, "Do you know who Prince Jiyou studied under?"
Everyone shook their heads and didn't know.
He returned and said, "Great monk Byron from the Yanjing Dragon Temple."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked. Who is Byron? He is the pinnacle god of music and art in the world, and a figure that everyone must look up to.
Although most people in the world have never heard the music of Lord Byron, everyone has heard of the name.
If the world's most recognized master is Dongli Wang Jiangshang, then the most recognized art master is Monk Byron.
Immediately, everyone present was full of praise. All the noble girls looked at Prince Miyu with even more passionate eyes.
Guixing said negatively: "And every year at the royal dinner party, the person who plays for His Majesty the King is not Princess Ji Ning, but Prince Ji You in front of you."
As soon as these words came out, everyone present became more enthusiastic. Everyone stopped eating and drinking, and even more exaggeratedly, they took out incense to calm their minds and prepare to listen to the heavenly sounds played by Prince Miyou.
Sauron, on the other hand, smelled a strong scent of a love rival.
The meaning of Jiyou's words is very clear. Three years ago, when he saw Gui Qinshao, he was so shocked that he thought about her day and night. He even did not hesitate to compose a song specifically for her. He worked on it for three full years.
Even a blind man can see the affection in this. Moreover, when he confesses his love in public, he is completely pretending that his fiancé does not exist.
At this time, Gui Qinshao temporarily removed her attention from the sword in her hand and sat down again, her beautiful eyes bright, full of expectation and curiosity.
A banquet like this will have a special team of musicians, at least dozens of people.
Jiyou came to the harpsichord and said to the harpsichord player above, "Excuse me."
The musician was flattered to see Prince Youyou being so polite and courteous. He quickly knelt down and saluted, and then stepped aside.
Jiyou did not sit down immediately, but looked at Sauron and said: "Earl Sauron."
Sauron stood up and said, "What advice do you have, Your Majesty?"
Youyou said: "I heard in the Southeast Province that you performed a piece of music in the graduation exam in the royal city, which shocked everyone and got a very high score."
Although Xiyou used the word "shocked the four people", his eyes were completely disdainful. In his opinion, the so-called art major for graduation from Wangcheng College was completely childish.
For example, the piano prince Li Yundi heard that the graduation examination of a certain university art school was average.
To shock everyone on that occasion and get high scores is probably nothing in the eyes of high-level artists.
For example, he was a versatile performer in both civil and military arts, but he performed in sacred places such as Yanjing Palace, Shenlong Temple Art Hall, and Nulang Palace.
In the concert hall for the Wangcheng College Graduation Examination, everyone was shocked. That...it was really laughable. Therefore, Xie You's tone was completely full of teasing.
Sauron seemed not to hear the sarcasm and said, "There is such a thing."
Youyou said: "How about this, taking advantage of Miss Gui Qinshao's birthday dinner, how about you also play a song? Of course, it doesn't matter if you haven't created a song, you can also play existing songs, just to add to the fun."
Jiyou's purpose is very clear. Without Sauron's mediocrity, how can he bring out his brilliance?
As a member of the royal family, he cannot overpower his love rival in terms of status. Sauron, as Gui Qinshao's fiancé, is the best stepping stone tonight.
"It is better to obey orders than to be respectful!" Sauron said.
At this time, his heart was filled with astonishment. He really didn't think about what music he wanted to play tonight, let alone who he wanted to slap in the face. But he didn't expect that someone would be so flattering.
So Sauron stood up from his seat and came to the other piano.
The violinist was still a woman, and was slightly startled when she saw Sauron's beautiful face.
Sauron blinked at her, and immediately the female violinist's face turned red and she gave him a fierce look.
Unexpectedly, this scene was seen by Gui Qinshao, and she was immediately furious. This Sauron is really a dog that can't be changed, and he still doesn't forget to tease women at this time.
This bastard, you can tell at first glance that he is a piece of shit, a complete useless person. Within a few years of staying at Wangcheng College, Gui Qinshao knew it all too clearly.
Sauron sat in front of the luxurious harpsichord and said to Prince You, "Your Majesty, please come first."
Youyou said: "This song was written three years ago, when I just came back from Yanjing to attend the palace dinner. That night, I saw Miss Gui Qinshao for the first time, and it seemed to have touched the most sensitive heartstrings in my heart. That night
One night, the moonlight was like water, and my song was named "Moonlight"."
Then Jiyou closed his eyes, as if he was immersed in the world three years ago, the night when he saw Gui Qinshao for the first time.
Everyone present also closed their eyes, waiting for the heavenly sound played by Prince Miyu.
Even if she returned to Qinshao, she closed her beautiful eyes slightly, raised her crystal-clear ears, and concentrated her attention to listen.
The entire banquet hall fell silent for a moment.
Exhaling slowly, Prince Jiyou's slender and powerful fingers fell gently.
Suddenly, the beautiful sound of the piano floated out like flowing water. (To be continued.)
