Just as he was about to start, Murong Heng suddenly spoke.
"Wait a minute."
He slowly turned his head and glanced at Su Tianling in the hall with his amber eyes.
"Su Tianling, you have been practicing dancing for many years, why don't you come forward and dance with us."
Su Tianling was stunned.
Then he felt a little unhappy.
Why do you want her to dance with you?
She's not a dancer!
"Your Highness King Ling, I am not good at dancing. If I want to accompany you, wouldn't it be more suitable if the dancers have much better dancing skills than me?"
"The purpose of letting you dance is not to show how good your dancing skills are, but because of your respect for your mother. Why do you insist on refusing?"
Su Sheng raised his eyes.
"King Ling, your words are really ridiculous. Tian Ling has been visiting the palace all the year round and is very close to the Queen. His filial piety can be learned from the heavens!"
"In that case, dancing for the queen is a big deal, isn't it?"
Murong Heng's tone remained calm.
But he had no intention of retreating.
Seeing that the atmosphere was somewhat tense, Emperor Renjing spoke.
"Su Tianling, today is the Queen's birthday, so please perform a dance to show your sincerity."
Su Tianling was about to reply when she was interrupted by Su Sheng.
"Tian Ling is not good at academics, and it is difficult for him to enter the elegant hall. If the emperor likes to watch, I will personally select a group of Western Region dancers to come and dance for you."
These words made it clear that he did not give face to Emperor Renjing.
All the ministers were shocked, and for a moment none of them dared to express their anger.
Emperor Renjing's face also darkened obviously.
However, Su Sheng seemed not to notice. He held the wine glass with his slender fingers and slowly drank the wine in the glass.
Seeing that something was wrong on the field, Su Liuer said quickly.
"Tian Ling, I haven't seen you dancing for a long time. I am happy today. Please come up and dance with King Ling and Shen Ruoxi."
Hearing this, Su Tianling did not move, but subconsciously looked at Su Sheng beside him.
There was a pause on his angular face.
Then put down the wine glass.
"Now that the emperor and the queen have spoken, Tianling, please help today's birthday banquet."
Su Tianling could only get up.
"My daughter takes orders."
Looking at Su Sheng's figure, Emperor Renjing lowered his voice and seemed to be teasing.
"Prince Rong and the Queen really have a deep love for each other as siblings. My words are not as effective as those of your sister."
Su Liuer's heart tightened.
"Your Majesty, I forgive you. Prince Rong has been spoiled by Rong since he was a child. He doesn't know what to do, but he is absolutely loyal to the Emperor. I can swear to God."
"I just mentioned it casually, Queen, don't be afraid."
Emperor Renjing's eyes were gentle.
But the hand that originally held her fingers slowly let go and returned to her side.
In the palace.
Murong Heng took the guqin and turned his head slightly, his eyes falling on Shen Ruoxi's face.
The two looked at each other.
Nothing was said, but there was a silent understanding flowing.
Shen Ruoxi sat down, picked up the pipa, and pressed the pipa strings with her jade-like fingers.
Amid everyone's curious or expectant gazes, he plucked the pipa strings.
It seems like a slight movement, but it is powerful.
Everyone couldn't help but be shocked.
The music sounded slowly, and then gradually spread like a tide, filling the entire hall.
At the same time, a melodious guqin sound sounded.
Murong Heng's slender jade-like fingers flicked the strings, and his handsome face had a sharp look in his eyes.
Just sitting there becomes a landscape of its own.
The sound of the piano is melodious yet powerful, perfectly blending into the pipa music.
The two are soft and strong, a perfect blend.
At the climax, it was like a silver bottle being broken, pearls and jade flying everywhere, shocking everyone present.
Su Tianling gritted her teeth and danced to the rhythm of the two of them.
But the music was quite difficult, and she could barely keep up.
At the end, the two had a perfect ending, but she almost lost her footing.
The room slowed down for a few seconds.
Then, there was a delighted praise from Emperor Renjing.
"it is good!"
He clapped his hands and laughed.
"I haven't heard such an exciting and atmospheric melody for a long time. I played it really well. Compared to Lin Xiuyi's pipa music just now, it's not inferior at all, or even better! Shen Ruoxi, I didn't expect you to be so secretive!"
Shen Ruoxi showed a modest smile.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty is flattering me. Your Majesty is just taking advantage of His Highness King Ling."
Murong Heng said.
"Miss Shen is a master of pipa, and I am just the icing on the cake."
The look of sympathy between the two made Leng Ye standing aside feel sour.
Yo.
Not even married yet, but already on show?
Su Liuer asked.
"What's the name of this song?"
Shen Ruo cherishes his blessed body.
"Back to the Queen, this song is called "Mountains and Rivers". It praises the majestic rivers and mountains and the beautiful scenery of the prosperous times. When I play this song, I wish the country to be prosperous, the country to be peaceful and the people to be safe, the emperor and the queen to enjoy good fortune forever, and be famous forever!"
Compared with Lin Xiuyi's "Peony" before, this performance and rhetoric instantly took on a new pattern.
Standing on top of each other.
Lin Xiuyi sat aside, her expression that had softened just now became a little ugly again.
She thought Shen Ruoxi was making a fool of herself by going up there.
I don’t want to be the one stepped on in the end.
Looking at the Bi people standing together in the palace, Lin Xiuyi twisted the handkerchief tightly.
This woman must have come here to cause trouble for her today!
"Okay, well said!"
After hearing Shen Ruoxi's words, Emperor Renjing Longyan was delighted and took the lead in applauding.
All the ministers came to their senses one after another and immediately followed him, stroking their hands and praising him.
Suddenly, all kinds of eyes fell on Shen Ruoxi.
In the past, Shen Ruoxiqong had beauty, but her reputation was not very good.
Today's stunning song instantly changed many people in the court's view of her.
Su Liuer was also in a very happy mood.
"The 'Twin Sisters of the Capital' are indeed worthy of their reputation. Shen Ruoxi, I am very surprised by your performance today. I will give you a reward!"
Su Liuer rewarded Shen Ruoxi and Murong Heng with agates, pearls and jade respectively.
He also rewarded Su Tianling with Yun Brocade.
Su Tianling took it with a somewhat embarrassed expression, and was about to go down when she met Murong Heng's cool gaze.
She suddenly felt a little frightened.
"Cousin Ling Wang?"
Murong Heng suddenly spoke.
"It's my fault."
Su Tianling was stunned.
Not only Su Tianling, but also everyone else in the hall was stunned.
But he heard Murong Heng say again.
"I thought you were being modest when you said you were not good at learning, but it turned out to be the truth. I will never let you perform on such occasions in the future."
Su Tianling's face froze for an instant, and then she felt extremely embarrassed!
If it were anyone else, she would have given her a lesson.
It was Murong Heng.
She didn't dare to mess with him.
Su Tianling pursed her lips and walked away with an ugly expression.
Murong Heng and Shen Ruoxi also returned to their original positions.
The banquet is over.
Emperor Renjing was so drunk that he wrote a poem on the spot, and then gave Su Liuer an extremely rare blue pearl necklace.
The pearls are plump and lustrous.
Under the sunlight, it glows with a faint blue color.
"Queen, I specially found this from the South China Sea and gave it to you. It is said that this blue pearl is rare in ten years. The Queen is gentle and generous, graceful and dignified. I think the pearl is the most suitable for you!"
"I would like to thank you, Your Majesty."
Su Liuer took it with both hands with a smile.
Emperor Renjing opened the door, and everyone below also sent their own congratulatory gifts.
Murong Xiu presented the relics that had been consecrated by the eminent monk, Murong Yao presented the extinct paintings that Su Liuer had not found for a long time, and Murong Yu presented the valuable agate.
After everyone presented their congratulatory gifts, Prince Rong placed the wine glass heavily on the table and stood up.
"Queen, in order to congratulate you on your birthday, I have also brought you a gift. Please take a look."
After saying that, he stretched out his hand to signal.
Several people immediately came in from outside the hall, carrying a huge gift and moving slowly towards the hall.
The gift was covered with a piece of red cloth sewn with gold thread, which was very mysterious.
Su Liuer smiled.
"what is this?"
"Queen, please look!"
Su Sheng reached out and lifted the red cloth.
In an instant, a two-meter-tall jade tree appeared in front of everyone.
The branches made of top-quality jadeite are studded with red pearls. Any one of them is a rare treasure and is priceless.
The dazzling brilliance suddenly eclipsed other gifts in the palace.
Everyone was shocked.
After a brief moment of surprise, they all fell silent.
Shen Ruoxi sat aside, her eyes flashing.
Although this gift is good, it is too late.
The blue pearl given by Emperor Renjing came first, so the congratulatory gifts sent by others were cautious, so as to appear sincere but not overshadow Emperor Renjing.
This is the way to be a minister.
But Su Sheng's gift far surpassed Emperor Renjing's gift.
To put it more seriously, he did not take Emperor Renjing seriously and despised the imperial power.
She sighed in her heart.
It is said that Prince Rong takes credit for himself and is arrogant.
Seeing is better than hearing.
Emperor Renjing's face was indeed very ugly.
He leaned on the dragon chair with squinted eyes.
Staring at the Yushu below, he didn't say a word for a while.
Instead, he turned his head and looked at Su Liuer.
"What do you think of this gift, Queen?"
Su Liuer lowered her eyes.
"The gift is naturally a rare treasure, but I am used to being simple and elegant. Prince Rong's gift is too luxurious. I think it is more appropriate to change it to something else."
There was a wild look in Su Sheng's narrow eyes.
"The Queen is the master of the harem, and she is the mother of all the people. No matter how luxurious the gift is, she can afford it."
Hearing this, Emperor Renjing smiled slightly.
The smile didn't reach his eyes.
"Since Prince Rong has said this, the queen should accept it. The queen has always been simple and elegant. Occasionally, a luxurious decoration is placed in the palace, which is also very pleasing to the eye."
Su Liuer had no choice but to bite the bullet and agree.
"I know this."
Su Sheng curled his lips.
"I congratulate the Queen, may you live a thousand years, a thousand years!"
After that, he waved his sleeves and sat back in his seat.
After Su Sheng gave the gift, no one dared to come forward.
At this time, Murong Heng slowly stood up and walked into the hall.
"The congratulatory gift from my son has also arrived. Please take a look at it, Queen Mother."
After that, he gestured.
Leng Ye stepped forward and handed over a wooden box.
Open it and there is a flower inside.
This flower is very strange, with only a few flowers blooming.
A flower has four petals.
However, the colors of each petal are completely different, red, white, yellow and purple.
Everyone's attention was instantly attracted.
Emperor Renjing was also very surprised.
"King Ling, what kind of flower is this?"
Murong Heng spoke slowly.
"This word is called 'Jin Se'. It has a very strong vitality, but it is very rare. It only exists on the border of northern Vietnam. Knowing that the queen likes to plant flowers to worship Buddha, the son rushed all the way and had people send this flower. I hope the queen likes it. "
After he finished speaking, the atmosphere in the palace was a little unusual.
Especially Su Sheng.
He looked startled, and his stern face suddenly turned cold.
As we all know, Su Sheng's world belongs to Northern Vietnam.
The Su family's army has been rooted in northern Vietnam since the late emperor. Although the emperor has military seals in his hands, he cannot mobilize them at all.
In Vietnam, Su Sheng has absolute control.
But now, Murong Heng said that his people brought this flower from North Vietnam.
These words are undoubtedly telling Su Sheng that he can get things out of the places he has control over.
For Su Sheng, it was a great deterrent and provocation!
