I went to the outside of Xiaocheng Garden on the morning of the morning, and found nothing unusual. Muning hae-chan still can't help worrying, so Chu Yun told Zhou Jin to send some more men on the grounds that the guards in Wangfu were lax.
the day of the banquet will come soon. Due to the large number of people invited to this celebration dinner, Xun Yan arranged it in Sunset Tower, the largest restaurant in Hongchuan City.
The sunset tower is under the sunset mountain, and you can see Kyushu from afar!
The Sunset Tower is not named because it is located at the foot of the Sunset Mountain, but because standing at the top of this restaurant, you can enjoy the wonderful scenery of the Sunset Mountain, where the setting sun melts gold and the sunset clouds are everywhere.
"General Yu, head coach of the First Army of Yanbei, is here! ..... "
" General Feng, the assistant commander, is here! ..... "
" General Lu, the commander of the Flying Riding Camp, is here! ...... "
.............................
Before the banquet started, the restaurant was already full of noise and guests.
What an honor it is to get the favor of His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan and set the banquet here! Moreover, Yanbei is not what it used to be. The Datong Guild, which used to control Yanbei, no longer exists. After two battles, both the military and the people's hearts are on Xun Yan's side. Therefore, this time, no one dares to come to the banquet if invited, and of course no one is unwilling to come.
however, there is still one person except!
Since the ice lake incident, Xun Yan announced that he had temporarily cancelled his wedding with Chu Qiao on the grounds of "busy war and untimely time". Although everyone knows the truth, no one dares to publicize it.
Xun Yan thought about this banquet for a long time, but he still sent an invitation to Chuqiao. Anyway, she is his nominal princess of Yanbei, and it is unreasonable not to invite her. Secondly, he also has a trace of fantasy, hoping that Chuqiao will come back to him after he has figured everything out.
Of course, fantasy is fantasy after all. When the news that Chu Qiao lost the invitation without looking reached Xun Yan, he knew that she would never come back to him! As expected, Yan Xun was not angry, just quietly looking at Yu Pei, who had been polished smooth and round by him. The blood on it had been rubbed away by him, but there were still some seeping into the texture, and the little deep red was even more enchanting and gorgeous in Yu Pei.
with a bang, Yu Pei fell to the ground and broke in two. Xun Yan got up and left without looking back!
"General Chu, the commander of Eagle Army, is here! ..... "
" Yanbei General Army ... "
When he read the invitation handed by Mu Ningjun, the page at the door suddenly widened his eyes and looked up at the delicate and beautiful woman in front of him in surprise. His mouth was wide enough to fit an egg, but he couldn't even say a word ...
Mu Ningjun was warm.
The man quickly apologized in panic and replied, "No, no! I just didn't expect that the military adviser should ... "
" It should be a woman? " Mu Ningjun took his words and smiled.
The man nodded again and again, and when he saw her face, he was already a little stunned. At this time, when he heard her voice, it was even more pleasant, like a fairy voice!
"Big Brother, there are many people behind, so I won't keep you! You don't have to read it. Chu Feng, let's go! "
Before Xuan Liwei could react, Mu Ningjun walked into the gate with Chu Feng. The man's eyes followed her figure and turned out to be stunned!
"Hey, I said, what are you staring at?"
"yes! Just a girl, as for it? "
"hurry up, hurry up, if you go in late, you will be asked!" "
the people in front of the door were agitated and urged. The people who preached the ceremony quickly came to their senses, took over the post and continued to read: "Bingzhou secretariat official Lu is here ..."
Mu Ningjun took Li Xiang and Li Xiao to sit down. Because Yan Xun gave Mu Ningjun the position of military adviser of Yanbei General Army, their position was the closest to the main seat. Chu Feng is now the head of an army, and Feiyu Camp is the Yanbei Army.
When all the people in the restaurant hall were seated and talking with laughter, only Xuan Liwei's voice was particularly high: "His Royal Highness the Prince has arrived ..."
The people in the hall stood up and saluted, with a loud voice.
"I'll see your highness the prince!"
Xun Yan has a jade crown with black hair, embroidered robe and jade belt. On his handsome face, his heroic facial features are angular, his temples are cut like knives, and his eyebrows are cut like swords. Surrounded by the crowd, he stepped gracefully onto the main seat of the jade steps step by step, and every move exudes a natural imperial domineering!
"Everybody stand up!"
"thank your highness!"
With the sound falling in unison, everyone in the hall takes their seats!
Xun Yan didn't publicly proclaim himself emperor, but now everyone around him has learned to treat him with the courtesy of an emperor. After all, didn't they follow him to help him sit on the throne of the Ninth Five-Year Plan?
Xun Yan glanced at Feng Min and asked, "Is everyone here?"
"Your Highness, Xuan Liwei just said that everything is here except ..." Xun Yan naturally knew the words omitted in the middle, but he didn't pay much attention to them. He turned to the hall and Lang Lang smiled: "Since everyone is here, let's start this celebration dinner!"
As soon as this statement came out, the atmosphere in the hall was slightly relaxed, and all kinds of delicious food were presented one by one. The food was attractive and the wine was crisp.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this great victory, attacking the city slightly, has greatly demoralized Wei Jun! It was only under the leadership of your highness that you succeeded. Let's propose a toast to the son of heaven in Yanbei! "
Cheng Yuan got up from the seats, and the others got up one after another.
"God bless Yanbei, and it's a great blessing for Yanbei to be under the command of your royal highness!"
"Your Highness is a wise SHEN WOO, and he uses his troops like a god. We believe that our fighters in Yanbei will be able to crush Chang 'an in a few days, slay Wei Di and avenge his blood!"
for a time, praise and grandiose words were heard all over the hall.
Xun Yan looked at them, raised the jade cup in his hand, and smiled faintly: "It's also an honor for me, Xun Yan, to have the help of your generals and adults, and it's also an honor for my Yan family! Xun Yan will definitely live up to expectations and swear to break Dawei! "
"I am willing to follow your highness to the death!"
Hong Ru Zhong Yin, very sonorous's voice rang with the glass held high, and everyone gulped it down.
Mu Ningjun can't drink, so she just took tea instead of wine, raised her hand and took a sip! Then sit down with others, she looked up slightly and glanced at it. There were other women between the seats except her, but only a few, the feather girl had been detained, and the others were just some generals, state officials' wives and maids, in addition to Xun Yan's only cousin-Yan Hong.
amid all the fuss, someone suddenly got up and asked, "I said, boss Chen, how can there be no singing and dancing on the banquet?" Why didn't you arrange it? " The speaker was Cui Yuanan, the secretariat of Xiazhou. After taking refuge in Xun Yan, Xun Yan still handed over Xiazhou government affairs to him.
The boss of Sunset House got up and replied, "Wait a minute, my Lord, and the song and dance will arrive soon!"
And Xun Yan smiled and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, I have a person with excellent piano skills under my command. Since the song and dance haven't come yet, Ben Wang asked my military adviser to play the piano for you first to entertain you! What do you think? " Say that finish, Xun Yan turned to MuNingJun, she also just looked up at him, eyebrow eye with a smile, gentle but person.
When everyone heard this, they all followed Xun Yan's eyes. Only then did they find that there was a woman in white sitting in the front of the seat, with elegant manners and beautiful appearance. Everyone who had never seen her was stunned.
Cui Yuanan glanced at Mu Ningjun and said with a smile, "I didn't expect your royal highness's strategist to be a talent of Kong Ming, so why not play a song and let us all see it!"
For a moment, all eyes were focused on Mu Ningjun.
"What do you think of Miss Mu?" Xun Yan asked with a smile, even he didn't realize, the tone is never gentle.
Mu Ningjun stood up with a smile and replied, "Since your highness has spoken, how can I refuse!"
Yan Xun smiled. "Somebody, give me a seat!"
Mu Ningjun took the Feng Tong Guqin handed over from Hunan, lightly moved the lotus steps, walked to the seated seat in the middle of the hall and sat down. The delicate fingers gently fiddled with the strings a few times, and even the tuned tunes were pleasant to listen to.
Like water, the piano sounds leisurely from the fingertips, sometimes soothing and gentle like a flowing spring, sometimes rushing and leaping like a high cliff and waterfall, sometimes crisp and agile like a jade plate, and sometimes whispering softly like a beautiful woman whispering in her ear ...
Many years later, Liao Qingyin, a national famous pianist of Dayan Empire, was invited to the palace and presented a song "Ode to Mountains and Rivers" at a banquet. Originally, I expected to win the praise and favor of the holy family, but I didn't expect that the son of heaven, who was sitting high on the jade dragon chair, just smiled and looked at the minister at the banquet and gently asked, "What about Cui Aiqing?"
Cui Yuanan, who was over the age of no doubt at that time, also smiled faintly and replied, "But you!"
The son of heaven also chuckled, "How dare you play Ode to Mountains and Rivers? It really defiles these famous songs!"
The imperial court was shocked, and Liao Qingyin was even more ashamed and resentful.
As everyone knows, Liao Qingyin's piano skills are second to none. However, at the court banquet, Cui Yuan 'an, the emperor of the current dynasty and the prime minister of the left and a college student of the imperial court, thought that "it's no good!"
Ode to Mountains and Rivers is a famous song of Dayan, and it is also the most difficult to play. Cui Yuan 'an, who is good at listening to the piano and discussing music, once commented: "It is majestic if it is like Mount Tai, it is like a river, it is like ice and snow, it is soft if it is like a spring breeze, and it is clear and majestic, and the atmosphere and gentleness coexist."
"It's a pity ..." A generation of musicians sighed faintly: "After Princess Ning, there is no more Ode to Mountains and Rivers!"
of course, all this is another story! The long picture of history is still waiting for them to write and describe with the little deep red of life!
At this moment, people in the hall, even though many people don't know the melody, are deeply intoxicated by the wonderful piano sound of Mu Ning Zan, and they can't get over it for a long time ...
At the end of the song, Mu Ning Zan's fingers are slightly retracted, and his fingertips are dripping bright red, his knuckles are bent low, his face is smiling, and all his fatigue is hidden without trace. And inside the hall, it is surprisingly quiet. They all looked at her wait for a while, for a long time, and I don't know who took the lead and slowly applauded, breaking the dead silence. At the moment, the whole hall was thundering with applause for a long time.
