It's better to fall in love than seize the heir

When I woke up, it was time to light the lamp.The lanterns were lit up one after another outside, and the bright and bright halos softly dotted the branches and the window lattices, and they were full of people's eyes.

"woke up?"

Liang Yan sensitively felt the person in his arms move, lowered his head, and gently placed his hand on his side face to caress pitifully.

"Hmm..." Shen Jinghe opened his eyes in a daze, and after adapting for a while, his eyes gradually returned to clarity.He sat up straight, and his voice was a little hoarse because of the full sleep, "You have been on my pillow for so long, are you numb?"

"What's the point?" Liang Yan laughed, and casually poured a cup of tea into his hands, "The most important thing is that you rest well."

Swallowing the lukewarm tea, Shen Jinghe turned to look out the window with a rare joy, "It's still early, why don't we go out for a stroll?"

Liang Yan naturally followed his temperament and nodded happily, "Let's go."

It wasn't until he walked out of the gate with the surprised and confused eyes of the door boy outside the mansion again, that Shen Jinghe reacted belatedly, his back stiffened for a moment, "Wait, are you..."

Liang Yan looked at him amusedly, "I was attracted by you just now, but I forgot that he never saw me come in... Forget it, anyway, I didn't come here once or twice, so let them go. "

Shen Jinghe looked at him rather depressedly, but couldn't say anything like "destroy my reputation", so he could only curl his lips and let Liang Yan naturally hold his hand, and walked slowly down the street like this go.

After bypassing several high and low white walls and black tiles, and turning around a few spacious long streets, we arrived at a rather lively place in central Beijing.Teahouses and restaurants, Qinlou Chuguan, gambling shops and scattered markets, all kinds of prosperous places live next to each other, just to name a few.

However, today seems to be different from before. The people on the street are rushing towards the same direction excitedly, talking about something non-stop.There are also quite a few playboys in gorgeous clothes, inviting friends and walking forward with their shoulders hooked and their backs on their backs.

Shen Jinghe casually stopped a passing man, his handsome eyes were full of curiosity.

"Brother, may I ask where you are all rushing to?"

"Hey, you don't hang around here often, do you?" The man also explained enthusiastically, "Today is the day when Miss Tianxianglou Qin Kuiyu plays, and it only happens once every three months. Let me say, We plain-headed people, how can we have the money to see Miss Yu's beauty on weekdays. We can only have a good time by waiting for the one who comes in this three months and paying the entrance fee!"

"I see." Shen Jinghe nodded clearly, "Thank you, big brother."

"It's okay, I'm going to take a seat first. If the two brothers are also interested, please remember to go there early, otherwise there will be no seats!" Throwing this sentence, the man was excited again Quickly walked forward.

"Tianxiang Tower... Tsk tsk, I've heard about this romantic and elegant place for a long time." Shen Jinghe tasted the name on the tip of his tongue again, and raised a smile full of interest.

He was curious in his heart, Liang Yan looked at his faintly moved expression, but his face couldn't help but become a little stiff.He clenched Shen Jinghe's hand even tighter, took a step closer, lowered his head and said threateningly, "You know that no matter what elegant tricks this Tianxianglou puts on, there is no escape from the essence of what kind of business it is doing. Bar?"

Shen Jinghe was amused, looking at Liang Yan's obviously unfriendly eyes, but somehow he became more and more happy in his heart.He pretended to be surprised and widened his eyes, deliberately raised his head and moved closer, his eyes were blank and innocent, "What's the matter? I'm just curious and want to listen to the so-called Qin Kui's music and see what's going on. How amazing. Why do you look... so unhappy?"

While talking, he lightly tapped the side of Liang Yan's tightly pursed lips with one hand, pressed the corner of his mouth with his fingertips and raised it slightly, as if he wanted to help him put on a smile.

With such a swipe on his face with his gentle fingers, Liang Yan couldn't breathe a little bit.Immediately, his eyes darkened, and he quickly grabbed his troubled hand, suppressing the deep emotions in his eyes, gritted his teeth and said, "...you are deliberately angry with me, right?"

Shen Jinghe was not annoyed when he heard his vicious tone, and smiled slyly like a little fox.He twitched his fingers, didn't twitch, and let Liang Yan hold him tightly, but raised his eyebrows and tilted his head, "You haven't answered me yet, I'm going to Tianxianglou, what are you doing angry?"

Liang Yan's eyes flickered for a moment, and finally he forcibly turned his face away, but still firmly grasped Shen Jinghe's palm with one hand, and said in a stiff tone, "Let's go, since you want to see It’s so busy, we’ll go early to get a seat.”

Shen Jinghe had known that he would have such a reaction, so he didn't answer, but gently held his hand back, and couldn't hold it back, and licked the corners of his lips happily.

……

Blowing bamboo, playing silk and beads, the sound of the hall, falling into the five clouds of immortals.

As soon as you step into the exquisite and splendid gate of Tianxiang Building, you can smell a sweet but not greasy fragrance blowing away.Under the dazzling lights, the soft and graceful figures of Yingyingyanyan shuttled back and forth, the melodious sound of orchestral strings and bamboo strings, and a few clever laughter and soft words could be heard from time to time, leading to the seats already occupied in the lobby. The common people stared straight at it, dazzled.

In the middle of the building is a tall white jade platform. There are no people on the platform, but a lyre.The surrounding layers are covered with pearl curtains and pink gauze, and the white smoke is curling up, just like a fairyland on earth.

The servant with a respectful smile at the door collected the silver taels for entering the venue, and pointed to the road attentively, "You two guests can find a place to sit in the lobby at will, and don't be restrained. If you think the hall is crowded and noisy, you can Pay another amount of money and sit in the special private seat on the second floor. There is a special person serving the tea in the private seat, and Miss Yu will play on the high platform in the middle after a while, and you can see it more clearly from the top."

Liang Yan was not interested in tea or any other jade girls, but he looked at the girls in the lobby like flowers and butterflies, and sometimes he covered his lips and smiled coquettishly, leaning against the arms of the guests, and finally calmed down. His complexion was faintly turning black again.

Without further ado, he took out another piece of silver and stuffed it into the servant's hand, Liang Yan pulled Shen Jinghe to go upstairs to avoid the smell of makeup.The servant who smiled and collected the money hurriedly stopped them and led them to a long table not far behind them.

"Today we are holding a masked night banquet in Tianxiang Building. All the guests who come and go must choose a mask to cover their faces, so that no one can recognize others, and the fun will be more enjoyable. Two young masters, why not just choose one Your favorite mask, right?"

"There are such tricks, it is indeed the famous Tianxiang Tower in Beijing." Shen Jinghe sighed with a smile, lowered his head to look at the pile of various masks on the table, fingertips on the cold metal surface One by one across.

He was still smiling to himself, but as if he suddenly thought of something, his whole body froze, and he turned his head slightly to look at Liang Yan carefully.His eyes dodged and he didn't mention it, and his face was also a little hot.

Liang Yan watched him stop his movements suddenly, and after a moment of surprise, he also reacted suddenly.

He suddenly softened his face, and looked intently at Shen Jinghe with a light and gentle smile in his eyes.

...a mask?

The story about the mask between them is a long story.

Shen Jinghe turned his head uncomfortably, flustered inexplicably.He didn't even bother to choose carefully, so he just randomly picked up two masks stacked together, one silver and one black.

"Just... these two." He kept the silver mask for himself, and handed the other one with black patterns and black patterns to Liang Yan.

Liang Yan didn't answer, but first carefully tied the mask for him, and then took his own and put it on his face.

The silver mask Shen Jinghe chose covered from the eyebrows to the tip of the nose, with smooth lines and no complicated patterns, but under the illumination of the lights, it showed a thrilling beauty for no reason.

"It's beautiful." Liang Yan looked at him through the mask, with a faint smile on his lips.

"...yours too." Shen Jinghe pursed his lips, and after finishing this sentence in a low voice, he took Liang Yan's hand in a concealed manner and hurried him upstairs, keeping his head slightly down all the way.The hair slipped, revealing the reddish ear tips.

After the two of them settled down in the elegant seat upstairs and the maid brought tea and fruits, they were finally able to sit comfortably in their seats, only waiting for the Jade Girl to perform on stage after a while.

Two figures in fresh clothes and high crowns walked by, and there was a faint conversation between the rings.

"Brother Song, what a coincidence, you also come to listen to Jade Butterfly playing the piano?"

"Yes, I have long heard that Tianxianglou's qinkui's celestial music is famous in the capital. Today I just have time to come and have a look. I just don't know if the price is right after Miss Yu finishes playing. ……hey-hey."

"Brother Song, don't listen to my little brother's persuasion. Let's not think about such a beautiful thing. Who doesn't know that Jade Butterfly has been with the third prince for a long time, and it is difficult for others to even see each other on weekdays. Brother Song then If you can afford the money, I'm afraid you don't have the blessing!"

"This...so that's how it is. Well, no matter what, that foolish brother should concentrate on appreciating the music of the beauty's piano."

"We only get to play once in March, so we should cherish it. I heard that the third prince is not in the city today, and if he is lucky enough to get the favor of Miss Yu, he might be invited by her to listen to another song alone, hahaha... ..."

As the two walked farther and farther away, their voices gradually became smaller until they disappeared.Shen Jinghe and Liang Yan looked at each other, and they both saw surprise and interest in their eyes.

"It's very interesting..." Shen Jinghe thought about it again and again, but still couldn't help pursing his lips into a smile, "It turns out that apart from thinking about intrigue and cheating all day long, Brother Sanhuang also has a heart of sympathy and pity."

Liang Yan glanced at him amusedly, and put down the teacup in his hand, "It seems that we can feast our ears today, and the sound of the piano, which even the Third Prince falls in love with, will not be too bad."

Shen Jinghe nodded happily, and was about to speak again, but the lights in Tianxiang Building were slowly extinguished one by one.The hustle and bustle just now disappeared in a flash, and everyone upstairs and downstairs sat upright, holding their breath, staring at the dark center of the high platform for a moment, looking forward to the official start of the performance.

A clear and lingering qin sound suddenly sounded in the building, and after a few breaths, the continuous and graceful sound of Lingling qin, like flowing water, gradually rose from the weak, and let out leisurely from the light-white fingertips, like rings ringing, chilling the sky.

Like lotus petals, the lamps and candles on the high platform light up and bloom in circles from the innermost layer to the outside, until the high platform carved with white jade is completely enveloped in the soft light.The crystal curtain was lifted layer by layer, and the layers of thin and transparent powder gauze were blown away by the light fragrance wind, revealing the graceful and graceful beauty in the heart of the lotus flower.

Her face was covered with a thin layer of white gauze, through which she could vaguely see her beautiful eyebrows and eyes.She raised her head, her eyes seemed to contain a thousand kinds of charms and slowly swept across the seat, her jade fingers twitched lightly, and her vermilion lips sang softly.

"Dongfeng is interested, put the small peach branches first. The pink is greasy, delicate and drunk, leaning on the vermilion leaf. When remembering the year, the new makeup is hidden..."

Qingge's sentence is like hibiscus weeping dew, Kunshan jade fragments, there is a kind of loneliness and self-promise, but it is not at all vulgar.

Shen Jinghe listened carefully to the tune, but gradually frowned, and murmured softly, "This tune sounds very familiar, but it's not exactly the same... Is this—"Six States Getou"?"

Hearing what he said, Liang Yan realized the specialness of the tune, and he couldn't help raising his eyebrows in surprise, "Such beautiful and beautiful lyrics belong to such a lyrics?"

Shen Jinghe became more and more interesting, and he smiled slightly, ""Six States Getou" is originally an advocacy song. It is desolate and tragic. It is written more about the ancient times, and it is not in the same category as pornographic words. This jade butterfly jade girl is It’s very interesting, I turned this tragic and intense song into a short, fast-paced, complicated and dense rhyme, and sang a song about the face of peach blossoms, which is lingering and sentimental, euphemistic and low-key, but without losing the lofty and decisive attitude, it is really moving.”

The sound of Lingling piano continued, blowing through everyone like spring wind and rain, making people mesmerized.

"...Meng Jiaqi. When Liu Lang was in the past, the flowers should be sad even in a romantic place. But in the twilight, I can't see the Wuling River. The past is hard to follow."

Shen Jinghe listened appreciatively to the sound of the piano and singing on the high platform like pearls falling on the jade plate, and nodded approvingly, "Wushan night rain strings rise, Xiangshui Qingbo points to life... graceful and beautiful, but there is also a hidden secret. Such an intense style of character, unlike ordinary singing girls with a lingering scent of makeup. It is a pity that this kind of piano sound will be lost in the world, such a wonderful person, it is really regrettable."

Shen Jinghe had already studied music and music in his previous life, and had made some achievements.Now that he is listening with his eyes closed, he subconsciously judges the music objectively according to his habitual appreciation of the music, but he doesn't notice that Liang Yan's eyes are getting darker, and his face is getting darker with his praise.

When he finally opened his eyes with a smile from the sound of the piano, he suddenly saw Liang Yan, who was opposite him squinting at him, and curled one corner of his lips with an unpredictable expression.

Shen Jinghe inexplicably felt that the back of his neck was a little chilly, he shrank his neck, coughed twice, just about to explain, but suddenly he became righteous again - he was just commenting on the piano sound on the high platform normally, Liang Yan took this unkind expression to see what he was doing?

Liang Yan took a sip of the tea in the cup calmly, and said in a cold tone, "Is it over?"

Shen Jinghe's morale, which was still full just now, suddenly vented completely. He lowered his head, carefully raised his eyelids and looked at Liang Yan, "It's over..."

"Sounds good? You seem to like it."

"It sounds good. I like it... No, no, I don't like it. Cough, the modified tune is too soft. I still like to have a bit of vigor on the battlefield." Shen Jinghe watched him get closer A little later, he took Liang Yan's sleeve with one hand and shook it left and right.

Liang Yan was not willing to take his anger out on him seriously, but when he saw his smiling eyebrows approaching, his heart softened half at first.He sighed, and rubbed his head with his big hands, he had no choice but to accept his fate to swallow the unreasonable jealousy, and the tone of his mouth was full of indulgence.

"That's enough...you can listen to it if you like. This piano music is indeed ingenious and full of meaning."

Shen Jinghe smiled, and was about to speak again, but the sound of the zither on the high platform had already come to an end.

Jade Butterfly lifted her slender hand from the strings, stood up and gave a blessing to Yingying, and said in a voice like a yellow warbler coming out of the valley, "It's rare for Yuniang to play a song for you today. Thank you all for coming to join us. Yuniang is very grateful."

The beautiful woman's voice, the delicate shadow under the lamp, the crowd immediately boiled up, shouting and throwing flowers and money on the stage, and even the son of the rich family who spent a lot of money sent someone to send a box of precious stones and jade.

Jade Butterfly thanked her again with a slight smile, then sat back beside the piano, and spoke again.

"Today Yuniang is playing the retuned "Six States Getou". Although everyone praises it, the lyrics are not composed of graceful and erotic lyrics. When Yuniang plays it, she always feels that something is missing. Two points of vigorous and intense taste."

Everyone shut their mouths and looked at her curiously, waiting to hear what the beauty would say.

"So Yuniang now wants to ask all the talented scholars for a poem, fill it in between the main voices of "Six States Getou", and Yuniang will play another piece. If any young master has already drawn up the belly draft, you might as well tell me right away , so that everyone can enjoy themselves to the fullest, and give Yuniang another chance to show off her talents."

Hearing Jade Butterfly's words, everyone was taken aback for a moment, but they couldn't help discussing, but after a long time, no one stood up to write a speech.

Regardless of the 140 three-character double tone of "Liuzhou Getou", the syllables are short and the tone is majestic. It is difficult for ordinary people to find suitable words and sentences to fill in a que so quickly.Come to the Tianxiang Building today's masquerade night banquet, there are many visitors, and there will inevitably be some talented people who are full of knowledge.If he ended up recklessly, but he couldn't write a good word, and he didn't say anything when he was a beauty, and then he ended up laughing and generous, wouldn't he even be ashamed to the ground?

On weekdays, the dandies who always claim to be romantic and talented people push and wink at each other, but it has been a long time since anyone shows up.Jade Butterfly's beautiful eyes moved around, taking a panoramic view of everyone's hesitation, but the smile on her face remained the same.

Shen Jinghe casually glanced around at the faces of all living beings in the audience, then suddenly turned his head and looked at Liang Yan fixedly.

"You..." Liang Yan seemed to have a premonition, frowning and looking at him deeply.

Shen Jinghe looked at him, Yun Danfeng smiled lightly, the eyebrows and eyes under the mask were soft and gentle, "Didn't I just say that? I don't like this too soft tune, but I only prefer the tragic and passionate tune with the vigor of the battlefield." the tune of the wind."

He turned his head again, leaned sideways on the side of the railing, lowered his head and looked down the stage indifferently, and tapped the railing gently with the beat with one hand.

"Young chivalry, make friends with Wu Duxiong..."

As soon as the singing voice was as clear as ice and jade hitting each other, it was full of unrestrained and unrestrained spirit, as free as frost on the bottom of a sword.

The buzzing discussion in the audience was suddenly suffocated.Jade Butterfly looked up in the direction of the song in surprise, and saw that the young man with the silver mask had actually sung it himself. He reacted quickly and immediately picked up the tune with his fingers. For a moment, the perfect harmony of the singing resounded in Tianxiang Building.

"The liver and gallbladder are holed, the hair is raised, and we are talking. Life and death are the same, and a promise is worth a thousand dollars."

The hasty syllables, the generous words of resignation, and the unique unrestrained voice of young people, are naturally indulgent and invincible.

Everyone held their breath again by coincidence, listening to the singing and the sound of the piano merge into the afterglow of the frost bell and the sound of the pines in the blue mountains and the evening clouds, and they felt like flowing water and the sad wind washed over people's hearts.The tone of the Youyin changed suddenly, and the impassioned and soul-stirring just now turned into a gloomy and boundless sadness and relief after the change of tone.

"Boom drinking wine, spring scenery floating cold urn. Inhaling the sea and hanging down the rainbow. Leisurely calling eagles and dogs, white feathers picking carved bows..."

Liang Yan held the teacup in his hand, but he didn't have time to bring it to his lips. His whole body seemed to be firmly nailed, unable to move at all.

He just sat in the same place silently, staring at Shen Jinghe without blinking, looking at the young man who was beating the beat with one hand in high spirits, the thoughts in his eyes were full of ups and downs, and finally melted into amazement.

High-spirited and vigorous, and indulge in life, it should be the case.

The sound of the piano gradually came to an end at the climax, with a strong feeling, restrained and upright, like a raging river breaking its embankment, one wave after another.

"...The sword roars in the west wind. I hate climbing mountains and facing water, and I send the Lyceum tree in my hand. I see it back."

The sonorous and powerful singing stopped abruptly, only the melodious zither sound continued to linger, and the strings hummed endlessly, just like the trembling hearts of everyone in the audience.

At the end of the song, no one could remember to applaud.The intense and tragic melody of the piano and the upright and high-spirited voice of the song are combined in a strange and stunning gesture. Even though they have never practiced before, they cooperate so perfectly, it can be described as soul-stirring and shocking.

Shen Jinghe bent his knuckles and placed them lightly on the railing, still sitting sideways in a relaxed posture.He nodded slightly towards the high platform, the mask covered most of his handsome face, only the corners of his lips slightly curled up from a distance, and his tone was indifferent.

"It's ugly."
