    "Little Lang, Xiao Lang."

    Tao Yuan heard the call, slowly opened his eyes, and turned to look at the person standing by the bed.

    "It's time for Xiaolang to get up, and to enter the palace today, he should prepare early."

    "Daddy Wu..." Tao Yuan sat up from the bed with a look of sleepy eyes.

    Behind Daddy Wu stood seven or eight maids. In the trays in their hands, toilet utensils were placed.

    After watching Tao Yuan sit up, Daddy Wu stepped back sideways, and the two attendants stepped forward to wait for Tao Yuan to wash.

    After washing his face and gargle, Tao Yuan stood up and walked to the dressing room. The maids walked out. Daddy Wu and the two attendants followed behind and entered the dressing room to wait for Tao Yuan to change clothes.

    The two attendants opened the cabinet, and Daddy Wu married the robe with a light red background and a silver pattern, and took it out, waiting for Tao Yuan to put it on.

    Tao Yuan looked at the suit and said, "Don't wear this one."

    Daddy Wu froze for a moment and said, "This is Xiao Lang's favorite set. I have already selected it two days ago. Why don't you wear this set again?"

    "This set is not suitable for flower viewing, it's too grand..." Tao Yuan said.

    "The queen mother's flower appreciation banquet, naturally you have to wear it more grandly, not to mention that no one is more suitable for red than Xiaolang. The ladies and Xiaolang from the imperial city and foreign officials will go, Xiaolang wears brighter. Isn't it more conspicuous?"

    Tao Yuan shook his head and said, "Although it is a flower feast for the Queen Mother, it is too late. Too conspicuous will make people unfavorable. Open the closet and I will choose another clothes."

    The person that Tao Yuan refers to is naturally the queen mother, who doesn't like overly gorgeous dresses.

    The two attendants could only open the closet with the formal clothes again and let Tao Yuan choose again.

    Tao Yuan chose a warm orange formal suit with moiré patterns. Although this suit is not as grand and conspicuous as the one just now, it is formal and beautiful, and it is just right to wear it to the flower viewing banquet. And the warm orange color added soft light to the original owner's snow-white skin.

    After getting dressed inside and out, Tao Yuan first ate something to cushion his belly.

    After gargle again, go to the dressing table and sit down and let the attendant help him comb his hair.

    Pine Branch opened the large and small wooden boxes on the countertop to put makeup on Tao Yuan. Tao Yuan said, "I will do it myself."

    Most of the brothers in this world have a more neutral appearance, but there are also a few who are more masculine or more feminine.

    Tao Yuan looked at the face in the mirror. The original owner's appearance was slightly more feminine, because his contours were soft and delicate, and he was more charming. However, the original owner was born into a family of military commanders, and his behavior was more male. Because this face is too beautiful, so long as he sits still, he looks like a woman, but when he speaks and moves, he can tell that he is a brother.

    Although the brother is not like a woman, he needs to put on makeup when going out, but on more formal occasions, he will also put on a light makeup to modify his appearance, not to mention the occasions such as the queen mother's flower feast, which is disrespectful to the queen mother.

    The original owner's face has its own makeup effect. The skin on the face is pink and tender, the lips are rosy as if dripping blood, and the nose is deep and erect. Tao Yuan only needs to put some makeup on himself so that people can see that he has put on makeup.

    After everything was prepared, Tao Yuan walked outside the gate of the Marshal's Mansion and got on the carriage, and took the pine branches and bamboo shadows to the palace.

    Many horse-drawn carriages were also driving towards the imperial palace along the way. In the carriages were all the noble ladies and lords of officials from the imperial city and other officials. The Queen Mother’s banquet was actually a large-scale blind date event, because the emperor had just ascended the throne, and the harem was empty. Not only had there not been a queen, many concubines and thrones had not yet been selected. Several princes have not yet married, so among the officials of the imperial city and other places, all the daughters or lords of officials above the sixth rank, as long as they are of the right age, can all enter the palace to participate in the flower appreciation banquet.

    There were already many carriages parked outside the palace gates, and carriages could not enter the palace. The ladies and gentlemen got out of the carriages and walked into the palace with the maids and attendants. The world has the most men, followed by women, and the least number of brothers. Therefore, the number of noble ladies in this flower viewing banquet is much more than that of Guilang.

    After entering the palace, everyone first went to the imperial garden to wait. The imperial garden of this imperial palace was very large, not like in the costume drama, but a slightly larger yard with some flowers and plants. The imperial garden of this world palace has pavilions and pavilions, long corridors and pavilions, as well as lotus ponds and fish ponds.

    They were taken by the maidservant to the place where the banquet was held, and then waited for the queen mother and the toffees to appear.

    Although many people came to the flower viewing banquet, Tao Yuan and the other person were not overwhelmed in the crowd. Both of them were obviously the most outstanding regardless of their appearance and temperament.

    Ye Rong walked in front of Tao Yuan and bowed slightly to salute "Mu Xiaolang."

    Tao Yuan also bowed slightly to repay "Ye Xiaolang."

    After the two greeted each other, they looked at each other quietly.

    Ye Rong is wearing a light yellow robe today with a white jade sachet around his waist. Compared to his usual cooler colors, today's outfit fits the warm spring colors very well, and he can see that he has taken it seriously.

    When Ye Rong was looking at Tao Yuan, he was a little surprised. He thought Tao Yuan would wear a red robe, because the charming and flamboyant red was the original owner's favorite color. But today’s warm orange suit, although still bright and dazzling against him, does not appear to be too ostentatious. Even these blooming flowers in the garden have become his foil, let alone other appearances that are inferior to his temperament. Your lady and your husband.

    There were a lot of people attending the flower viewing banquet today, but behind Tao Yuan and Ye Rong, a small group of people stood separately, and the divergence of the two sides was very obvious.

    After the queen mother and several concubines came over, everyone hurriedly stood up and saluted, Tao Yuan and Ye Rong stood in the front.

    The father of the original owner was a marshal of soldiers and horses, so the original owner was born into a family of generals. Ye Rong's grandfather was the prime minister, so he was born into a family of civil servants from a scholarly family. Just as the civil servants and military commanders looked down on each other in their hearts, they were also divided into two factions and looked down on each other.

    The queen mother looked at the two people standing in the front, and was very satisfied with their decent dress today, nodded and said, "without ceremony and flat body."

    "Queen Mother Xie," everyone said in unison, and then each returned to his position.

    Although the world’s folk customs are open, unmarried women and brothers can walk all over the street, and there is no rule that unmarried ladies and guild men cannot meet foreign men, but even if they can meet, they must be separated by occasion. On an occasion like today, everyone knew what they were here for, so even the emperor and the princes would not show up.

    This flower viewing banquet is to draft show ladies and attendants into the palace, but their children of officials are very different from the show ladies and attendants who enter the palace.

    Folk ladies and servants, after entering the palace, they want to be court servants and servants, that is, servants who serve people. If you have a very good appearance, you may be lucky enough to become a concubine in the harem, but it is rare.

    When the children of these officials enter the palace, they will either become concubines of good rank, or they will be betrothed to the prince to be concubines or concubines. Either they will become high-ranking female servants and servants, and most servants, after a few years in the palace, will let them go home and be appointed by their parents.

    Royal family members are naturally the most noble existence, and these people are here to be selected. Others know very well that the candidates for the queen and the emperor have already been decided, and they are definitely not in their turn, but if they can be selected as a concubine and noble, as long as they can give birth to a prince, they will become a concubine or a concubine in the future. Taijun was also very lucky. Even if you can't enter the harem, you can be a princess or a side concubine, you can be regarded as a noble member of the royal family.

    Moreover, the court is surging, and the harem is surging. If you are lucky, you may be able to profit.

    On the pavilion opposite the lotus pond, the emperor and several princes were sitting in the top floor of the house. Through the open windows, they could clearly see them, but because of the angle, they could not see the emperor and those princes.

    Since it's a flower viewing feast in name, it's actually a selection of people into the palace, so naturally you can't sit and chat. Performing talent is definitely indispensable. And with the queen mother and the toffees present, not everyone has the qualification and opportunity to perform in front of them.

    Those who can have the opportunity to perform are either those who are outstanding in their own talents and have long been famous in the circle of noble women and men, or they are the important positions of the father or grandfather and are reused.

    After watching the dancing of other ladies and the flute and flute performances of the noble lords, the queen mother looked at Ye Rong and said, “I haven’t heard A Rong playing the guqin for a long time. Today’s spring is just right, and a hundred flowers bloom, and A Rong also plays. It's a song for the occasion."

    Ye Rong immediately got up and saluted "No."

    Ye Rong's attendant put the guqin on, and the maidservant brought water to him to clean his hands. After Ye Rongxi washed his hands, he dried his hands with a cloth towel and concentrated on playing.

    The sound of the piano is brisk and melodious, like the warm sun in the cold, which makes people feel very comfortable, which corresponds to the bright spring.

    The queen mother was very satisfied, looking at him with a smile, enjoying such a moving music.

    Other people were envious or jealous, but they all had to admit that he did play well. No matter how hard they practice, they still have such a good piano skill. It's no wonder that even the queen mother praised the guqin he played.

    The queen mother liked Ye Rong more and wanted Ye Rong to be the queen, not only because Ye Rong was the grandson of the prime minister, but also because he felt that Ye Rong himself was more suitable for being a queen in all aspects than the original lord.

    But because of the first emperor's partiality to honor the king, even if the emperor has successfully ascended the throne, but the throne has not been firmly established, the civil servants and military commanders will still draw in, and then slowly take back the power to his own hands. And now the border war is urgent. In order to appease and win over Mu Yongsheng, the Queen Mother and the emperor decided to make Mu Xi their queen.

    The sound of the piano floated to the opposite side of the lotus pond, and the emperor and princes on the pavilion could also hear his melodious piano sound, and couldn't help but admire his piano skills.

    Only the famous king Xiao Yuyang was in a complicated mood. He just woke up a little later. Everything that should have belonged to him was gone. The throne was gone. Even the beloved would soon become someone else's.

    Although the current emperor is both the eldest son and the prince, before the death of the first emperor, he already had the idea to abolish the prince and change his honor to the prince. It's just that the prince has not made any mistakes, and he has performed very well in all aspects, so that the first emperor has no excuse to abolish the prince, and can only let the King Yu go to the border to make military achievements and get more courtiers' support.

    However, King Yu was seriously injured at the border gate and remained unconscious. The emperor fell ill and went away suddenly, and then the prince succeeded to the throne. When King Yu woke up, everything had settled, but he still couldn't give up, thinking that he should be the one sitting on the throne.

    Looking out the window, Xiao Yuyang looked at Ye Rong's back from a distance, thinking that he would become the emperor soon, he couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart. Although Ye Rong told him that even if he entered the harem, he would definitely defend him like a jade, but in this life, they would not be able to be together in an open and honest manner.

    Ye Rong is actually a traverser. Before crossing, he was an otaku who likes to play strategy games. Because he likes men, he plays only pornographic games. In his original world, because of the unsatisfactory real life, he could only find his presence in the game, so he played all kinds of strategy games.

    One day he bought the newly launched strategy game. There are many characters in this game. Characters with different strategies will have different endings. After reading the game introduction, he directly chose the highest strategy, which is the harem strategy.

    The real meaning of this harem strategy is that the player first enters the harem to fight, then becomes the young queen mother step by step, and finally puts all other targets of the attack into their own harem. And this harem, of course, does not refer to the real harem, but refers to those who are fascinated by him, and are willing to like him with other people.

    Before the game started, he first spent money to purchase various skills that he needed, such as the eighth level talent, which included piano, chess, calligraphy and calligraphy, and fifth-level pharmaceutical skills, which allowed him to formulate various □□ and antidote. Among them, the most expensive is the protagonist's halo, which can make people unable to help being attracted to him, and it can also be used in dangerous moments.

    After he got a rough idea of ​​the characters to be attacked, he immediately started the game, and then he went into the game world.

    After a brief period of disbelief, he quickly accepted the fact of his journey, and he was very happy. Because in this world, he is the identity of a brother, and he can openly like men. The most important thing is that he not only has very powerful skills, but also the protagonist's aura, which can truly and personally experience the feeling of reaching the peak of life.

    The only thing he regrets is to save money, not to buy more skills and detailed strategy process. However, after serious consideration, he felt that it was too much to do. He already had the protagonist's aura. Even though the process might be a little more difficult, the possibility of completing the strategy is very high. Moreover, he played so many strategy games and knew the routines of this kind of game well, so he had nothing to worry about.

    After Ye Rong finished playing one piece, the queen mother and the toffees praised his improvement in piano skills.

    Ye Rong got up to salute, then returned to his seat, seeing the envy or jealous eyes of other people, he was extremely proud. He thought, it was really worth it to spend so much money on skills, but it was a pity that he still had some money left in his original world.

    "Axi, how about playing a piece of music?" The queen mother looked at Tao Yuan again and said, since she herself opened her mouth to let Ye Rong play a piece of music, she naturally had to open her mouth to let Tao Yuan play a piece of music, even if she was more inclined towards Ye Rong Some, but it shouldn't be too obvious in front of so many people, otherwise it will make the Mu family faceless.

    Tao Yuan stood up and replied, "Back to the Queen Mother, the courtier recently learned a new pipa song and wanted to play a piece for the Queen Mother."

    "Oh?" The queen mother thought, it turns out that he can still play the pipa. Since he asked for it, she agreed, "Okay, then you can play a song for the Ai family and everyone to listen to."

    pine branch hugged the pipa that Tao Yuan had brought over. Tao Yuan took the pipa and sat on the middle chair, ready to start playing.

    The pipa is a very difficult and magical instrument. It can be used to play a variety of very different styles, and it does not sound like it is played by the same instrument. Since it is a flower viewing banquet today, what Tao Yuan wants to play is naturally what it should be.

    Tao Yuan first plucked the strings gently, and the feeling he brought to people in his artistic conception was like a spring rain that made people feel moisturized. As the sound of playing became louder and louder, the feeling of the sun coming out like clouds and fog, made people feel very comfortable.

    The sound of the pipa is sometimes brisk and fluent, like the sound of ice melting and spring water flowing, sometimes crisp and cheerful, like hearing the beautiful sound of birds singing and ying. In an instant, a hundred flowers blossomed, birds and flowers fragrant, and people who felt the artistic conception in the music looked around, as if they really saw the flowers gradually blooming, and people couldn't help but feel joy.

    All the princes could see through the open window, and they felt as if they had been moved by a pipa song, and couldn't help but exclaim in their hearts.

    Emperor Xiao Junye stood up and walked to the window to look out. He thought that there was the guqin song and jade in front of him, but the others were just foils. He didn't expect that listening to this pipa song, couldn't remember the guqin song. .

    These two people, one will become his queen, and the other will become the emperor. They both want to marry him in order to stabilize his throne. Whether they want or not, they have no choice. Even as the emperor, he is still helpless and involuntary, let alone them.

    After the end of the song, Tao Yuan hugged Pipa and stood up and saluted.

    The queen mother nodded and exclaimed, "Such superb piano skills are exciting and fascinating. It seems that you have worked hard. Why haven't you heard you play before?"

    The reason why the queen dowager asks is because such superb piano skills cannot be practiced in a day or two. When she was a queen, she held a flower appreciation banquet every year, but she never heard him play the pipa.

    "In the past, the courtier felt that he was not playing well enough, and he did not dare to show his ugliness in front of the mother. Recently, he has practiced pipa hard and finally feels that it can be heard, so he wanted to sing a song for the queen mother." Tao Yuan replied.

    "It's more than just being able to hear it." The Queen Mother said with a smile, "You are so interested, and the mourning family will reward you."

    The two palace maidservants came up with the tray, and the queen mother asked one of the palace maids to bring the contents of the tray to Tao Yuan, and said to Tao Yuan, "This tea set has been cherished by the I, widow, and the I, widow feels that only this The tea set is worthy of the song you just offered, and it will be rewarded to you."

    "Thanks for the reward from the Queen Mother." Tao Yuan saluted the Queen Mother and then took the tray and returned to his position.

    The queen mother asked the maidservant to deliver the items in another tray to Ye Rong. "You and A Xi are both in the same play. This white jade lotus incense burner is also a favorite of the Ai family. Now I will reward you, you Burn incense when you play the piano in the future."

    Ye Rong quickly got up and saluted, "Thank the Queen Mother for the reward."

    Too much, it was still eccentric. The piano skills of the two were not equal at all. Tao Yuan was clearly better than Ye Rong's. But there is no way. People are queen mothers who can make a bowl of water and flat, instead of showing a eccentric attitude. You have to be grateful.

    Ye Rong was calm on the surface, but in fact there were ups and downs in his heart. He had been in this world for more than a year, and he didn't know that he had such superb piano skills. Qin, chess, calligraphy and calligraphy are four talents. It seems that he lost the Qin, but it doesn't matter. There are other three items, and he will definitely not lose all of them. He thought, since he chose the most difficult strategy, his opponent must be slightly stronger, but the appeal of talent is limited, and it can't compare with his protagonist's halo, so he doesn't need to worry at all.

    "Today's spring is just right, and there are hundreds of flowers in full bloom in the imperial garden. Dear ladies and gentlemen, let's enjoy the flowers. If you have a poem, please write a poem and send it. The mourning family will be presented to your majesty, and your majesty will bestow the most literary talent. Good one." The queen mother stood up and said, "The Ai's family go to rest for a while, you go and play."

    "Send to the Queen Mother."

    After the queen mother and several toffees left, these ladies and noble men slowly dispersed to enjoy the flowers.

    "Axi, you played the pipa song just now, it's better than before..." Yu Qianyun wanted to say how much stronger than the guqin player I don't know, Tao Yuan stopped her with her eyes because the queen mother just said Now that the two are equal, if she said this, she was beating the queen dowager in the face, which would be a sin of disrespect, and she could only change her words and said, "Better than, better than the others."

    When Ye Rong passed by them, he glanced at Tao Yuan. The two of them stared at each other for a while, and then turned their eyes away at the same time and walked in different directions.
