The Legend of Nanshan Jun

With the growing belly, in order to facilitate childbirth in the future, I will go out for a walk from time to time under the advice of the imperial doctor, and the place I go to the most is the Liyuan.

Although I can no longer sleep with me, but Li Zhenrui will find time to visit me every day, which makes me feel better, and although the concubines in the harem are also blessed by the emperor, the one who has the most luck is Yaguijun.

It happened that my father and brother got into trouble at this time, although I told them not to act rashly again, it still made Li Zhenrui a little unhappy, and he also showed a lot of coldness towards me.

If Li Zhenrui and I were just ordinary couples, there wouldn't be so many obstacles.

As a male concubine in the harem, there is really nothing I can do.

On this day, Liyuan was rehearsing "The Drunken Concubine", which attracted many concubines in the harem to watch.

Concubine Wang Guifei and Concubine Shu De sat chatting on the opposite side of the stage, while Cui Minglang and Shangguan Wenya were playing chess in the pavilion on the other side, while Sima Qingyan, Fang Shengze, Wang Qianliang and others were standing behind them watching chess with serious expressions , seems to be in a state of white heat.

I approached them, looked at the chessboard carefully, and realized it.

Although there was no winner in this round, Shangguan Wenya still had the upper hand.

When Cui Minglang saw me, his expression eased, "Ling Xi, you're here."

Sima Qingyan on the other side seemed to see a savior, "Mr. Nanshan, why don't you help Mr. Donghua?"

"Yes, Mr. Nanshan is very good at chess and is invincible in the world." Fang Shengze answered lazily, but it was ironic.

I sighed slightly in my heart, and replied calmly, "Mr. Fang Gui, please be careful. When it comes to chess skills, who can be as good as the emperor? But it is not known who will win this game. I believe that Mr. Donghua can turn the world around." .” I smiled at Cui Minglang, and he smiled back.

In fact, Shangguan Wenya's chess skills are very good, and the layout is very delicate, if he didn't secretly give way, Cui Minglang might have lost already.

But if I guessed correctly, Cui Minglang would win the chess game in the end.

It is now April, the weather is fine, the imperial garden is verdant, the Penglai pool is sparkling, and even the spring breeze is warm, taking a deep breath, the mood becomes extraordinarily comfortable.

Walking slowly along Penglai Pond, before you know it, you have come to several musicians who are practicing piano.

The older musicians saw me and saluted quickly, but the new musicians dared to look at me secretly, whispered and looked charming during the salute.

I waved my hand to make them stand up, and asked calmly, "Did you play "Xiaoyaotan"?"

"Exactly, Your Majesty." The woman in yellow smiled and nodded, with a look of joy.

I leaned over slightly, and lightly touched one of the pianos with my fingertips, "Deng", and made a short crisp sound.

"This song has a majestic and vicissitudes of vicissitudes in its natural and unrestrained self-satisfaction. After the end of the song, it is so heartwarming and unsatisfactory. Why did it end so hastily?"

"This..." The musicians looked at each other, not knowing how to answer.

A woman in a blue skirt replied, "The little girls still have doubts about a few sounds, so they are thinking about it."

"Oh? Where are the doubts?" I asked with interest.

One of them, a woman with a beautiful face and a red dress, excitedly handed the piano score to me, pointed to one of the places marked with a pen and said to me, "Your Majesty, this is here."

I glanced at the score, and my fingertips naturally touched the strings. I played it several times, and the melody gradually became natural and smooth.

This Xiaoyaotan is slightly different from what I usually play. Although it has been changed to be a little strange, and the score is also incomplete, but the artistic conception is similar to it, it is not difficult to complete the rest.

"Your Majesty, can you play it from beginning to end for us?" The woman in red asked with a blushing face.

As soon as the words came out, the others quickly winked at her, "Xiaorui, why are you so bold, how can Mr. Nanshan play for us?"

The female musician in yellow on the other side quickly pleaded guilty to me, "Your Majesty, forgive me, Xiaorui has not been in the palace for a long time, and she doesn't know the rules."

I smiled at her, "No problem."

The red-clothed woman named Xiaorui rolled her eyes with a smile, and immediately moved a round stool for me, and helped me to sit down slowly. Dieyi's eyes widened in shock.

I smiled at her helplessly, but she stuck out her tongue secretly while other people were not paying attention, without any shyness.

In front of me is a large blue lake, with green weeping willows fluttering in the wind on both sides. Although this artistic conception is not as good as the vicissitudes and silence in the song, it also has a warm feeling.

With the light touch of the fingertips, a string of musical tones slowly fluttered, and everyone involuntarily wandered in this chic and wanton song.

The sea is laughing and the tide is surging on both sides of the strait

Ups and downs with the waves remember the present

The sky is laughing and the world is overflowing

Whoever loses who wins God knows

Rivers and mountains laugh and misty rain far away

How much the world knows

Qingfengxiao actually causes loneliness

Pride still has a night photo

The laughter is no longer lonely

The pride is still laughing foolishly①

Such a chic and free life is really yearning.

Once upon a time, I was full of passion and devoted myself to serving the country, but I couldn't get my father's permission.

If he insisted on his choice that day, today there would be one less Nanshan Jun and one more brawny minister, right?

However, what would happen if Li Zhenrui and Li Zhenrui only had the friendship of a monarch and his ministers, but no love in bed?

With my temperament, I'm afraid Li Zhenrui will kill me no less than a hundred times, right?

Thinking of this, I couldn't help laughing out loud.

The sound of the piano had stopped, and when I came back to my senses, I saw that everyone was staring at me blankly.

Even Cui Minglang, Shangguan Wenya and the others unknowingly stopped playing and stood not far away.

"Did Your Majesty remember anything interesting?" Dieyi looked curious.

"It's really interesting." I smiled slightly, but refused to explain the whole story.

Just about to get up, Xiaorui knelt down in front of me again, "May I ask your lord to teach my little girl how to play the piano?" Now the other musicians didn't know what to say, other than hating iron for being weak, they looked like they were in imminent disaster. They stepped back a little.

Xiaorui blinked her eyes and took a bold step forward, "Your Majesty, my daughter entered the palace not long ago. Although she is talented, she has many flaws. Please give me your advice."

I helped her up and waved to her, "Come here."

Now even Xiaorui was a little surprised, and then trotted happily to me.

I let her sit in front of me, and in front of her was the Yaoqin I just played.

I held down the strings from behind her, instructing her how to attack.

In fact, she has long been familiar with these things, and the "Xiaoyaotan" that was full of mistakes and omissions just now was just intentional.However, watching me earnestly teach the new little musician to play, the other musicians all showed envy, and the deliberately lowered voice still faintly reached my ears, "If I had known, I would also ask Jun Shang to teach the piano. art."

"Yeah, I'm so sorry that Xiaorui took the lead."

"Mr. Nanshan is the young master Xiyan who is the most talented in Jinling. Who would have thought that he would be willing to teach an ordinary musician the art of piano?"

"It is said that Lord Nanshan is unattainable, but I never thought that he would be so approachable."

"I like Mr. Nanshan more and more."

"If only I was the one embraced by Mr. Nanshan..."

"You're beautiful."

I sighed helplessly, and whispered in Xiaorui's ear, "Rui'er, don't mess around again next time."

The little girl in front of me blushed slightly, but moved closer to me and said, "My lord, I haven't seen you for four years, Rui'er misses you so much."

I frowned slightly, "Even so, you can't be so temperamental, the palace is no better than the outside."

But Rui'er said with a playful smile, "With Young Master here, Rui'er is not afraid."

I can't laugh or cry, I haven't seen her for many years, this little girl's temperament really hasn't changed at all.

I turned my head slightly and asked in a voice that only the two of us could hear, "Is your brother okay?"

Rui'er nodded hurriedly, and replied softly, "Brother, everything is fine. My brother told me to obey the young master's orders, and I must not cause trouble."

I couldn't help scratching the tip of her nose, "How can you not cause trouble for me?"

Rui'er blushed, but she stopped arguing and assured her, "Today is an exception, and it won't happen in the future."

"That's good. Can you arrange your status?" I asked.

"Young Master, don't worry, Rui'er is now the adopted daughter of Lin Shilang's family, and has nothing to do with Xie Mansion or Piao Miaoxuan."

Only then did I nod my head reassuringly, "The affairs in the building and Misty Xuan will be nothing but hard work, I'm afraid I won't leave the palace again."

Rui'er tugged on my sleeve in the dark, "Young master, don't worry, my brother has been taking good care of me, and Rui'er is also always listening to your arrangement, so that you will have no worries inside or outside the palace."

"Okay. From now on, you will be my eyes in this palace, and find more eyes for me." I said calmly.

"Rui'er respectfully abides by the Young Master's order." Rui'er lowered her head, her eyes were serious and serious, and she no longer had the playful look just now.

Although Rui'er is only 14 years old, she is a clever and clever girl. Having her in this palace will definitely help me a lot.

I remembered that she was only eight years old when I first met her, she followed me all day long, she was more clingy than her own brother, I didn't want to think that she was already a big girl in the blink of an eye, and I didn't recognize her for a while.

I didn't want Rui'er to get involved, but I didn't expect her to enter the palace so stubbornly in the end, but as smart as she is, she shouldn't be too difficult in this palace.

Today is different from the past, in order to live in the palace for a long time, I can no longer be alone as before, and need more strength.

It's not too late to start your business now.

Looking up and seeing too many people staring at us, I pretended to be focused and explained a few words about music to Ruier, then slowly got up.

I didn't want to be surrounded by someone from behind after walking a few steps, which made me stand still for a while.

"Is the emperor up and down?" I asked with a smile.

The person behind me tightened his hands a bit, and put his chin on my right shoulder, but his voice sounded dissatisfied, "Xi'er likes this female musician?"

I didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and then I remembered that the previous posture with Rui'er might be a bit ambiguous, so I had to explain, "Weichen just taught her how to play."

"Besides..." I pursed my lips and smiled, "Don't the emperor know..."

"I don't know what?" Li Zhenrui wondered, squeezed my waist which was no longer slender, and urged me.

I turned around and leaned into his arms, and whispered in his ear, "Don't the emperor know... Is this humble minister only a man since he was a child?"

When Li Zhenrui heard this, his brows relaxed a lot, and he said with a smile, "From this point of view, I should replace all the servants in your palace with women, otherwise how can I feel at ease?"

I glared at him, "What did the emperor say, how can a humble minister have no sense of propriety."

Li Zhenrui shook his head in disapproval, "Even if you have a measure, it's hard to guarantee that others will lose their measure."

Seeing that he still seems to have a grudge against Rui'er, I couldn't help joking, "Is the emperor still jealous of a little girl? At worst, I will just ignore her next time."

Li Zhenrui did not forget to add another sentence, "No one else is allowed either."

I had no choice but to agree, the king's possessiveness is always so overbearing.

Does he know how I feel when I see him being lucky to others every night?

Just when I was in a daze, he kissed me without any warning, and I was overwhelmed by surprise.

In broad daylight, with so many Kabuki musicians watching, and Shangguan Wenya, Cui Minglang and others watching not far away, I pushed him away in embarrassment, "Don't do this, it's not good."

"You are my beloved concubine, what are you afraid of?" Li Zhenrui poked the tip of his tongue in regardless, which made me tremble.

It's not without feeling that I haven't been close to him for a long time.

I closed my eyes, and gradually no longer cared what outsiders thought of me. This tenderness is really nostalgic.

The tips of the noses were touching, the lips and teeth were entangled, and I was dazzled. I didn't know how long the kiss lasted until I couldn't stand still and almost fell.

He quickly wrapped his arms around my waist, and said jokingly, "Xi'er's body is indeed a lot heavier now."

I pointed to my belly, and said in a breathless way, "Who can blame this?"

Li Zhenrui nodded cooperatively, "Blame me, blame me."

I covered my mouth and smiled, and slowly left the pear garden with him.

Walking to the gazebo, I saw Cui Minglang, Shangguan Wenya, Fang Shengze and Sima Qingyan standing on one side.

"My humble minister sees the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor."

"Get up." Li Zhenrui waved his hand.

The atmosphere was too quiet, I'm afraid they all saw it, which made me a little embarrassed.

Cui Minglang was as calm as ever, while Shangguan Wenya lowered his head slightly and seemed a little tired. Only Fang Shengze, Wang Qianliang and Sima Qingyan looked weird, which made me puzzled.

"Who won this chess game?" Li Zhenrui asked casually.

Shangguan Wenya lowered his eyebrows and smiled, "It's a turn of events, it's the humble minister who lost."

"It's okay to lose Sangyu." Li Zhenrui nodded to Shangguan Wenya, and then asked gently, "You have been in the palace for almost two months, but are you still used to it?"

Shangguan Wenya gave a shallow smile, "Thank you for your concern, my minister, everything is fine."

"Yesterday, I heard that your body is still a little weak. In the future, let the imperial physician come to ask for a peace pulse every day. It's better to stay at home instead of entering the palace."

Shangguan Wenya did not refuse, his eyes were flowing, he took a deep look at Li Zhenrui, and said softly, "Your Majesty is really guilty of worrying about this humble minister despite the heavy state affairs. This humble minister will definitely take good care of his body and not cause trouble to the emperor."

"While you're here, since you've entered the palace, it's only right for me to take care of you."

Li Zhenrui's concern for Shangguan Wenya inevitably made me a little uncomfortable, I slightly opened his hand and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, I may have been out for a long time, so I will take my leave first."

He nodded slightly to Cui Minglang, Shangguan Wenya and the others, then turned around and wanted to leave.

"Wait." Li Zhenrui took my hand, "I'm with you."

I paused, and let him pull me back.

"Xi'er, in fact, he and I..." Li Zhenrui seemed to be about to say something in a low voice in my ear, but was interrupted by a person who hurried over.

The man knelt down at Li Zhenrui's feet, and said eagerly, "Your Majesty, this humble minister is abrupt, and I hope that the Emperor will make decisions for this humble minister."

The person who spoke was Fan Jianbin, Lord of Xiling, who usually despised the male concubine with low brows and obedient heads. It was unbelievable that such a scene would happen to Fan Jianbin.

"What's the matter?" Li Zhenrui lowered his head and asked.

Fan Jianbin glanced at me, he looked a little scared, lowered his head and said, "I dare not say anything."

Li Zhenrui was a little unhappy, and flicked his sleeves, "Don't say it if you don't dare to say it."

However, Fan Jianbin seemed to have made up his mind, his eyes became firm again and he said, "I know that what I want to say is not right, but I feel uneasy about being threatened by others, so I have to report to the emperor and ask the emperor for judgment. "

Li Zhenrui looked at Fan Jianbin who was kneeling on the ground indifferently, and seemed to have no patience, "What's the matter?"

Fan Jianbin knelt on the ground and said word by word, "I am a humble minister - falsely accused by Lord Nanshan - dirty and messed up the harem."
