Raising Dogs as Eunuchs [Rebirth]

After Zhao Minsheng finished speaking, he walked out from between the seats and stood beside Xie Yuan. Everyone around looked at him like this and didn't dare to argue easily. The atmosphere seemed to have dropped to freezing point for a while.

Everyone's expressions looked a little dignified, but only the Queen Mother was still sitting on the stage with a benevolent face, looking at him with a smile.

The little eunuch under the stage lost his mind for a while, and stood aside with a dumbfounded smile, Xie Dugong, not knowing whether he was going or staying, Zhao Minsheng looked at the man's murmured look, and directly raised his hand towards him. Lifting his chin, motioned for someone to go and fetch the fou for him.

Even though the little eunuch could see a trace of him clearly, he didn't dare to move for a long time.

After all, the person sitting on the dragon chair hasn't spoken yet, so no one can be sure of the emperor's intention for a while, if he takes out the fou rashly at this time, in case he gets caught in the wrong of who he is doing, he may I was about to run out of food and walked away.

On such a happy day like New Year's Eve, he didn't want to die here because of such a trivial matter.

Zhao Minsheng stood in the hall and signaled to people many times, but the eunuch ignored him as if he was blind. It was not until the emperor spoke that he finally acted swiftly.

"Since Duke Huai is determined to do so, then let me allow it."

The emperor sat on the high platform, looked at Zhao Minsheng below the stage, waved his hand with some hesitation, and then quickly grabbed the wine glass to cover up his slightly wrong emotions.

The door of the main hall is wide open, looking straight out from the inside of the hall, you can see the red lights and white snow outside the house when you raise your eyes, a few breezes blow by, and occasionally there are a few sparrows on the steps outside the hall. stay.

Zhao Minsheng stood under the stage, gently supporting Tao Fou in front of him. The sight of this person could not help but remind the emperor of the time when Concubine Shu was still there.

Concubine Shu was born in Li's family, she is the daughter of a general, although she is well-educated and has a gentle character, but she has always been very bad at matters of rhythm, not as proficient as other concubines.

In the harem, the queen is good at dancing, and the concubine Zhen is good at playing the piano, but she is the only one who can't do anything. Later, at a New Year's Eve banquet, Concubine Zhen deliberately proposed the ensemble, wanting to embarrass others in front of everyone.

At that time, Concubine Shu used pottery fou to play in unison with others. Although she didn't understand the rhythm, even if she played simple fou, she played it in a mess, and she was suspected of intentionally adding confusion to others, but her naive demeanor and figure at that time, But it has always existed in the emperor's mind.

Since she left, no one has been able to express the little girl's delicacy so vividly.

The emperor looked at Zhao Minsheng in the audience, and there was a hint of sadness in his eyes.

Zhao Minsheng's eyebrows and eyes resembled his mother's concubine, and he didn't notice it normally, but in this scene, it was inevitable that he would think of his old friend and feel sad.

The sound of Xie Yuan's qin in the audience was clear and melodious, like ringing a ring. Zhao Minsheng's pottery fou was not very powerful, but at least it was very comfortable to listen to, and it was not too abrupt compared to the sound of the qin.

Xie Yuan was sitting under the stage, holding the qin with both hands, with a leisurely posture, very beautiful. Although Zhao Minsheng had seen Xie Yuan play the qin in his previous life, he had never played with others, and now he stood with others under the stage, standing shoulder to shoulder , it really made him feel a bit like Boya's child.

Although he is an amateur player who is totally unworthy of the name of high mountains and flowing waters, but Xie Yuan's piano sound is really nice.

Sometimes it is clear and clear like the sound of rain falling from the eaves, and sometimes the waves roll into rough waves, and the slightest movement of the knuckles can easily arouse the emotions of everyone present.

At the end of the song, the people in the audience were still immersed in the music, until the queen mother on the stage applauded cheerfully, and the people around began to applaud and praise.

"Xie Dugong is good at playing the piano, I am really lucky to be able to listen to this piece today."

"I think so too. In the past, I heard people say that Du Gong's piano skills are superb. The sound of the piano is like the sound of pearls falling on a jade plate. It has the potential to circle the beam for three days. Today, I am finally lucky enough to hear it with my own ears."

Concubine Zhen sat on the side seat, and after hearing the Queen Mother applauding, she was the first to rush up to flatter her, followed by her son Cheng Wang.

It seems that Zhao Ning is more intelligent than Zhao Zhan, and he is also more tolerant. The last time Xie Yuan dealt with Zhang Hongcai, it was tantamount to gouging the heart of their mother and son. He just lost his composure towards Xie Yuan on the day he was scolded.

To this day, he is still able to tell people what to say, but Zhao Ning is different.

Ever since Xie Yuan came up to play the piano, he has always had that contemptuous attitude, either muttering secretly at the bottom, or looking at this side with a rather disdainful look. The way people look at it makes them feel uncomfortable.

"Your Majesty and Your Highness have praised me absurdly. I would never dare to accept such praise. The song I played today is just to cheer for Your Majesty and the Empress Dowager on such a New Year's Eve."

"Okay, Dugong Xie plays very well, don't be too modest."

The emperor sat on the high platform and looked at Xie Yuan below the stage, but he only said this lightly, and then turned his eyes completely to Zhao Minsheng who was standing beside him.

In the snowy night outside the hall, a few winds could be heard faintly, and the moonlight shone on the white snow, and gradually reflected into the hall through the white snow.

The emperor held his breath and stared at the man for a long time, his eyes were far-reaching and complex, making it difficult for people to grasp his emotions at a glance.

It was like this for a long time before Zhao Minsheng saw the man exhale faintly, and waved slowly towards him with a little tiredness.

"Come on, come here, get closer to me, let me take a good look at you."

Zhao Minsheng understood that the reason why this person showed this expression was because his expression just now reminded people of her mother and concubine coming, so he stepped forward very cooperatively, and stood quietly at a place closer to the person. Down.

He raised his head up to meet the Master's eyes, so that people could observe further, so as to express his sudden grief.

"Hey, you have grown up in a blink of an eye. Ever since your mother and concubine passed away, it is I who have failed to take good care of you. It is I who... caused you to suffer for so many years."

The emperor looked at Zhao Minsheng in front of him, and at the end of his words, he even choked up a little, it seemed that he was really sincere.

The musical instruments in the palace had been removed by the palace people, Xie Yuan stood behind the person, looking at the back of Zhao Minsheng in front of him, and listening to the emperor's words, he couldn't help feeling distressed.

The suffering Zhao Minsheng has suffered in these years is far from being imagined by others, so how can he be soothed by a few words of his father.What's more, today, if Zhao Minsheng hadn't hit the fou in the palace, which brought back some memories of the emperor, he probably wouldn't be able to recall these words in his life.

"Forget it, you are now an adult. Although you haven't accepted a concubine yet, I will give you a house and allow you to leave the palace and establish a mansion. This should be your compensation."

The emperor's face softened slightly when he said this, and his words were not as sad as before. The establishment of the mansion was not so much about compensating Zhao Minsheng, but in fact, it was more about comforting himself, and comforting himself for the sudden surprise of others. guilty heart.

But Zhao Minsheng didn't care about these things, for so many years, he had already seen through the relationship between father and son, and now this person's self-movement, in his eyes, was far less beneficial than allowing him to run the house alone.

If they could leave the palace and set up their own mansion, then Concubine Zhen and the Empress would no longer be as simple as they are now if they want to use Zhao Minsheng to make a fuss.

Besides, after the establishment of the mansion, it will be much more convenient for him if he wants to find Xie Yuan again on weekdays.

Zhao Minsheng immediately knelt down to thank him, and just as he was listening to the flattery from the people around him, he knelt on the ground silently, thinking about his little Jiujiu, suddenly a very discordant voice came from the crowd behind him .

"Isn't it just to hit a fou? All the dancers and musicians in the palace can do it. There is nothing to brag about."
