Chapter 24 The Empress Is Wise
The queen, dressed in gorgeous clothes, said with a virtuous and virtuous air: "Today is a flower appreciation banquet. Everyone, regardless of gender, married or not, can express your talents to the fullest. Those who stand out will be showcased at the reception banquet. Those who perform outstandingly will be rewarded heavily.
!”
There was a moment of silence among the people below. The envoys from the three countries were all here. There must have been a marriage proposal. It would be fine if you were married or engaged. But it would be a headache for those who were not engaged. Marriage is a double-edged sword, and you need to weigh the pros and cons.
The emperor and the queen each said a few more words before announcing the banquet had begun.
When the music starts, a pair of dancers wearing thin gauze clothes come gracefully, singing and dancing, showing their prosperity and wealth.
Shangguan Ruoli felt that apart from the fact that her cheap dad was coming back, this matter had nothing to do with her, so she picked up a piece of snack and ate it silently.
This Canglan Continent is equally divided by four major countries, Dongming, Xirong, Beiling, and Nanyun. Dongming faces the East China Sea, Nanyun faces the South China Sea, and Beiling and Xirong are landlocked countries.
This time Shangguan Tianxiao sent troops to Beiling and fought for more than a year. In the end, Beiling sued for peace and Dongming won.
Shangguan Tianxiao loved the original owner very much. Even though the original owner was indifferent and distant from him, his love did not diminish at all.
If the one he loves changes a little, he will also notice it, right?
Shangguan Ruoli secretly thought about getting Sanshengcao as soon as possible, asking for Xiao Yunluo's dowry back, and then rescuing Xiao Fei and letting him rely on the dowry to support him in his old age.
She fled the world and left this vortex of power struggle. From now on, she is the uncle and the ancestor, whoever she loves is who.
Everyone was in high spirits, showing off their special abilities and striving to show their face in front of a group of distinguished people.
Shangguan Ruoli thought he was calm, but he saw that Zheng Shuyue was even calmer than her. She had one leg crossed and the other bent. One arm was on her knee, holding a wine bottle, and the other hand was holding a wine glass, and she was pouring herself a glass of wine.
Drink by yourself.
That way, so chic and wanton!
Shangguan Ruoli was about to change his position when he heard the queen say: "Ruoli, will you continue to play the piano for a few days?"
The queen's words attracted all the attention in the hall to Shangguan Ruoli.
Everyone thought that Shangguan Ruoli would be as red-faced, with his head lowered and his voice as loud as a gnat as usual.
However, Shangguan Ruoli calmly stood up and saluted, and said calmly without expression: "Empress, my daughter already has an unmarried husband, so it is better to give the opportunity to those young ladies Yun Ying who are about to be married."
The emperor said disapprovingly: "I'm surprised by this. It was your father's triumphant return to the court that day. As his eldest daughter, how could you not express your gratitude?"
The queen glanced at Dongming Ziyu and said with a kind smile: "Prince Xuan, look at your future princess, you really abide by the virtues of a woman."
Mmp! Women should be virtuous? If Shangguan Ruoli had that thing, according to the current rules, she should have hanged herself long ago!
If Shangguan Ruoli knew about it, he might have wanted to humiliate him by marrying her to Dongming Ziyu.
Everyone murmured for a while, and there were already sounds of ridicule from the female guests.
Dongming Ziyu's ice cube face, which had remained unchanged for thousands of years, did not move at all. He just glanced at Shangguan Ruoli lightly, and then concentrated on looking at the wine in the cup, as if a flower could bloom in the wine.
.
Shangguan Ruoli respectfully said: "Thank you very much for the compliment, the Queen, you are so wise!"
Buzz! Everyone cheered. If they weren't in front of the emperor, they would probably burst out laughing.
The queen's face was blue and white, but she could barely maintain her beauty.
But Dongming Yuehua couldn't bear it anymore, jumped out and cursed: "You dirty thing, if you abide by the virtues of being a woman, you should hang yourself and jump into a well, swallow gold and hit a pillar."
There was a moment of silence in the hall. This was correct, but it was also against the rules for a princess of a country to say such vicious words in public.
Shangguan Ruoli smiled faintly and said in a lazy tone: "Princess Anping, are you questioning the Queen's wisdom? Did you learn this virtue from the virtues of women and women?"
Dongming Yuehua pointed at Shangguan Ruoli's nose, her hands shaking with anger, "You, you, you..."
"Yuehua! Back off!" the queen scolded. This daughter was indeed spoiled by her, but if Shangguan Ruoli dared to shame her and her precious daughter in public, she would definitely not let this blind man go!
The emperor's face didn't look good either, and he said at the right moment: "Shangguan Ruoli, just play the piano. After all, you can't do anything else but play the piano."
Whoever came to the banquet was not a human spirit. Looking at the emperor and empress's attitude towards Shangguan Ruoli, one could tell that they were humiliating her.
She is Dongming Ziyu's fiancee, humiliating her is humiliating Dongming Ziyu.
They all know how to line up in the future.
No one noticed that the corners of Dongming Ziyu's lips curled up slightly, and when he glanced at Shangguan Ruoli, a warm color flashed under his cold eyes.
Shangguan Ruoli was helped by Qiu Ju to sit down at the piano table. Qiu Ju was so frightened that her hands were shaking and her palms were sweaty.
Shangguan Ruoli sat on the small piano stool, Qian Qiansu put her hands on the strings, closed her eyes slightly, and the memories of the original owner came flooding back.
The jade hand was long and slender, and with a slight movement, it immediately created an artistic conception of howling cold wind and miserable cold rain. A hundred thousand troops galloped between the skilled fingers, and an unprecedented battle began.
Everyone's spirits were trembling. They didn't expect that Shangguan Ruoli, who had only played the long-lasting love between children before, would play such majestic music.
The original owner's piano skills were very good, but he had low self-esteem and was weak, so the music he played was mediocre.
Now Shangguan Ruoli has received twenty years of higher education, experienced countless life and death battles, and his aura that comes from within is shocking.
With a raised hand, the sound of the piano suddenly rises, the swords and swords flash, the sound is thrilling!
Dongming Ziyu sat up straight unconsciously, his eyes as deep as a thousand-year-old pond falling on the stoic and elegant man in the center of the hall.
Not only Dongming Ziyu, but also everyone inside and outside the palace was excited, especially the generals and guards.
They seemed to be in a battlefield of swords and swords, personally experiencing a fight that left the heaven and earth in tears.
Even the emperor's eyes were burning and his heart was surging. He was once young, and he had fought with soldiers and horses in person.
Just when everyone's blood was boiling and they couldn't help themselves, the music of the piano gradually slowed down, the fighting gradually faded away, and the shouts became more and more ethereal. Three thousand miles of mountains and rivers were all in sight. Mountains and rivers, the Yangtze River, gurgling streams, birds singing and flowers fragrant. Wind and clouds surged and waves crashed as the wrists were turned.
shore……
Shangguan Ruoli's back was straight, his chin was slightly raised, his eyes were empty, his bare hands were flying, and his white sleeves embroidered with light blue peonies drew a beautiful arc in the air.
The clanking music suddenly stopped.
The audience inside and outside the hall fell into deep contemplation: Who sacrificed their lives and blood for this great country? Who protected the country and allowed the people to live and work in peace and contentment?
There was a moment of silence in the hall, and you could hear a needle drop.
After a long time, the slow applause of "Pah! Pah! Pah!" sounded.
Dongming Ziyu took the lead in applauding, followed closely by the emperor, and everyone else also applauded.
For a moment, there was endless applause in the palace. No matter what everyone thought, Shangguan Ruoli's music really shocked the capital today.
