Chapter 71

This month is very busy. On April 18, Han Zhitao got married. The emperor brought the queen, and Concubine Yi and Concubine Ling attended the wedding banquet together.

On April 26, the princes of various countries arrived in Daxingguo.

The emperor entertained ministers and foreign princes in the Mingguang Palace.

On this day, the Mingguang Hall was very lively.

Wu Di, the eldest prince of Qiandao Kingdom, Yu Peifu, the second prince of Fuli Kingdom, Princess Yu Rong, Prince Xiao Yixin of Shangdan Kingdom, and Princess Xiao Liuyue of Shangdan Kingdom.

These small neighboring countries are all allies of Daxingguo, and Suri has contacts with Daxingguo.

They actually came to see the appearance of the new emperor today.

It's just that when Emperor Xiao Yixin, the prince of Shang Dan, was always on good terms with King Ning, at that time, everyone thought that King Ning was the first choice for the crown prince.

The Qiandao Kingdom and the Fuli Kingdom have recently had wars due to border issues, and the eldest prince of the Fuli Kingdom is also in frequent contact with King Ning. In the past, every year to Daxingguo was the eldest prince. This is the first time the two princes have come to Daxingguo.

At this time, the Mingguang Hall was full of people. The empress dowager, the queen and the emperor's concubines, princes and ministers, plus princes and envoys from various countries, this was the first time that the new emperor had a large-scale banquet after he ascended the throne.

The princess did not sit beside the queen mother, but sat with Lan Ling. During the whole banquet, only the princess did not show her face.

When Xiao Liuyue saw Lan Ling again, she enthusiastically took Lan Ling's hand and asked, "Where's the monkey?"

"I put it back in my hometown of Moshan. It should have lived in the deep mountains. It's too cruel to keep it in captivity. The princess won't blame me, right?"

"No no."

At this time, the banquet had already begun, and the ministers from various countries stepped forward to compliment the new emperor and presented gifts.

The emperor is dressed in bright yellow brocade clothes today, is suave, chats and laughs. He was a good talker.

Lan Ling looked at him secretly, this was her man. Occasionally he glanced over at her, stared at each other glued to each other, and then parted without leaving a trace.

Next to him are the Empress and Concubine Yi, then Concubine Hui, Concubine Yu, and then Lan Ling. But Lan Ling didn't feel far away.

Love and not love, the difference is 108,000 miles.

During the banquet, the queen was graceful and graceful, and Concubine Yi was good at dancing with long sleeves, humorous and good at talking, and was deeply loved by everyone.

Lan Ling silently accompanied the Seventh Princess to drink. "Princess, the eldest prince of Qiandao Country is mature and stable, and he will definitely inherit the throne in the future. I think he is not bad."

"Sister-in-law Ling, I don't want to marry a foreign country, no matter how good I look, it doesn't matter."

"My senior brother has a sweetheart, what do you think of Big Brother Bai?" Lan Ling asked.

"What does Sister-in-law Ling think I am? I only like Huo Jingyun." She whispered.

Lan Ling sighed, she suddenly saw Xiao Liuyue secretly looking at Yu Peifu, the second prince of Fuli Kingdom, her eyes were a little strange, and there seemed to be a touch of regret.

At this time, Yu Rong, the princess of Fuliguo, kept staring at the emperor. This princess looks beautiful, but a little cold and arrogant

Yu Rong suddenly stepped forward to give a salute: "Your Majesty, with such a beautiful time, Yu Rong wants to sing a song to cheer everyone up. I wonder if your Majesty will allow it?"

"Of course, Princess Yu Rong's piano skills are superb, I would like to listen carefully." Ling Chen readily agreed.

Lan Ling knew that Ling Chen was good at musical instruments and could play all kinds of musical instruments.

Yu Rong used a Lianzhu lyre, and the sound of the piano was really extraordinary, and the guests all over listened.

Lan Ling saw Ling Chen squinting his eyes slightly, and his hands involuntarily clung to the beat.

The song ended with loud applause. Ling Chen praised: "It really is the sound of the heavens, I haven't heard such a pleasant sound of the piano for a long time."

Yu Rong stepped forward again and said, "I heard that there are countless talented women in the emperor's harem. I don't know which concubine can sing a song with me?"

The queen stood up. "Your Majesty, the concubine is willing to play a song with the princess."

Wen Heng's face was slightly stagnant, and he squinted at the queen.

Ling Chen agreed, he glanced at Yu Rong, was she showing off or challenging? Fuliguo has always been on good terms with King Ning and the others, which is normal. In the past, he was not taken seriously by his father. But isn't the purpose of their visit this time to propose marriage?

Yu Rong started to play the qin, and the queen played the ensemble. The style of the music began to be soft and melodious. At this time, the style suddenly changed. The sound of the qin was high, sharp, and aggressive.

The queen is embarrassed.

The emperor frowned, it turned out that Princess Yu Rong was challenging.

He looked up and smiled.

Lan Ling raised his head. Her master is proficient in music theory and has taught her, but she did not study hard. Later, in her previous life, in order to please Lingfeng, she had learned various musical instruments from famous masters.

She heard a very strange sound in Rong's qin sound, some qin sound can heal, and some qin sound can kill, Yu Rong's qin sound is the latter, just made some gentle disguise.

Wen Heng sneered, she saw that Yu Rong was not good, and she was clearly provocative. Only in this situation can she show Wen Heng's power.

Wen Heng walked out, "Why don't I play an ensemble with the princess."

Yu Rong nodded, "I heard that Concubine Yi is the emperor's favorite. Seeing her today is really different."

Wen Heng smiled without saying a word, sat down and played the piano.

Wen Heng's piano sound was even higher than Yu Rong's. It is closed, but the beauty is lost.

When the song ended, everyone was relieved.

Wen Heng's face turned pale.

Lan Ling was a little strange, not knowing why Princess Yu Rong was making trouble in front of so many people.

"Do you know why Princess Yu Rong is like this?" The seventh princess asked Lan Ling softly.

"Why?"

"In the early years, she fell in love with my fourth brother, but was rejected by my fourth brother!"

"Ao? And the woman your fourth brother rejected? It's surprising." Lan Ling looked at Yu Rong again.

"Yu Rong and the second prince are half-brothers and sisters, and the eldest prince's sister. The eldest prince and the third brother are good friends." The princess whispered.

"So she was deliberately provocative?"

"It can be said that no one can match her piano. Concubine Yi can't hold it back. In the past, Lan Yu was able to close her piano."

Lanling paused.

Yu Rong sat there and did not leave, as if waiting for the emperor to speak.

The young emperor smiled and was talking to the second prince of Fuli Kingdom, as if he didn't know the song was over.

Lan Ling saw the annoyance in his eyes. He was actually thinking of a solution.

Lan Ling stood up, "Your Majesty, can I let Lan Ling play with the princess?"

The crowd quieted down.

Yu Rong glanced at her, this concubine Ling was not of high status and was not favored. Moreover, she is the daughter of Lan Jingtian, and I heard that she betrayed her biological father, Lan Jingtian. Embarrassing identity.

Yu Rong somewhat despised her.

"Concubine Ling, Princess Yu Rong's violin sound contains a mystery. It is not controlled by your little skill, you can't afford it!"

Ling Chen winked her to step back, he had never heard Lan Ling play the piano. Lan Ling grew up in the mountains since he was a child, and it is normal not to like piano, chess and calligraphy.

"Your Majesty, since Concubine Ling has already spoken, let's agree. The concubine and the ministers have never heard Concubine Ling's qin sound, is it the Empress?" Wen Heng regretted it immediately after he finished speaking.

She had already lost the duel with Yu Rong just now, and she really wanted to see Lan Ling make a fool of herself. But seeing the emperor's face darkened and glancing at her coldly, she immediately understood that she had made a very low-level mistake.

"Your Majesty, the concubines also want to hear." The Queen agreed.

The emperor smiled but did not say a word. The queen was so speechless, he didn't have much hope for her. But Wen Heng was so disappointed.

At this time, the rivalry is jealous, and the royal face is lost.

"Princess, you play the piano, and Lan Ling plays the piano for the princess." Lan Ling didn't play the piano, she took a flute from the musical instrument stand.
