Comprehensive Qiong Yao's Crimson Love

Chapter 75: Night tour of the West Lake

It was night, and an exquisitely painted boat was dangling on the West Lake, and the music was endless, and the girl's crisp and sweet voice sang Jiangnan ditties, which were soft and pleasant.

On the deck, there are a few exquisitely carved huanghuali wooden chairs, and a group of people are sitting - a handsome man in his 30s, an old woman with gray hair on his temples, and two tall young men , these four people are all of extraordinary bearing, even the old woman is full of majesty; two young women with bright eyes and bright teeth, about 25 or [-] years old, two lovely children of Yuxue, the boy looks seven or eight years old, She already looks like a teenager, and girls are younger, only four or five years old.There is also a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl who is gentle and generous, and looks very good, even better than those two young women.

"Emperor Niang, what do you think of this ditty?" This group of people is naturally the Qianlong family. Qianlong pointed to the beautiful woman who just played the guzheng and asked, "Huang Erniang stays in the palace all year round. This Jiangnan ditty, Don't you think you've heard much?"

"Aijia sounds pretty good." Niu Hulu nodded. She is old, and she still likes these ding ding dong dong, and the girl plays really well, but... His identity is really not on the stage, and it is impossible for Niu Hulu to like it too much.

"Grandson looked at it coldly, but felt that this piano skill is really rare for a young girl," Qi Yao came up and teased, "I guess it's because Mama Huang has heard it a lot, so she's not surprised!"

"Oh, look, the emperor, Xiao Twelve really hates the old man!" Niu Hulu laughed heartily at Qi Yao's little compliment, and this grandson who was most likely to succeed to the throne approached her, so she naturally happy.

"No way, Mamo is not old at all, otherwise, when I go back and ask Sister Qing'er, Sister Qing'er must also be disobedient!" Qi Yao made a disobedient expression, the young man is supposed to be unsuitable for acting coquettishly and foolishly, But I can't help but look very good, and it's pitiful to make such an expression.

"Come on, the Ai family can't speak against you." Niu Hulu waved his hands and said with a smile, "Look at the emperor, this little guy has learned to carry Qing'er out to deal with the Ai family!"

Qianlong also laughed, he wasn't pretending, but he really couldn't help but think of Qi Yao's real identity, and seeing his coquettish and foolish appearance, Qianlong really couldn't help but want to laugh out loud : "Emperor Niang, Twelve is also filial to you! Yongyan, don't you think so?"

"Well, Brother Twelve is filial!" Seven-year-old Yong Yan also nodded seriously, and answered with a serious face, his appearance of a little adult made everyone present laugh.

Everyone was laughing and talking happily, and the atmosphere was also harmonious. At this moment, the sound of a pipa came from a distance, and then a singing voice with a clear throat and elegant voice rang out.

West Lake Willow, West Lake Willow,

For whom does Qingqing know?

Blossoms can be folded and need to be folded,

Let's have a glass of wine with you!

West Lake Willow, West Lake Willow,

The lakes and mountains stay together forever,

Advise you to share the setting sun with wine,

Leaving fragrance marks all over the sleeves!

......

Hearing this voice, Qianlong seemed to be interested, and ordered Gao Wuyong to enter the cabin to call He Huaqing, the prefect of Hangzhou, who was accompanying him.

"My minister, He Huaqing, sees the emperor, long live the emperor!" He Huaqing was about to kneel down and salute as soon as he arrived on the deck, but was stopped by Qianlong.

"You don't need to be too polite," Qianlong waved his hand, pointing to the small painting boat in the distance, "Didn't you say that all the famous singers in Hangzhou have been called here? Who is that?"

"If you go back to the emperor, this is the No. 1 prostitute in Hangzhou, named Xia Yingying. She has always been a showman without selling her body. She is very noble. This time I asked her to serve the emperor on a painting boat, but she refused. Unexpectedly, she I came by myself." He Huaqing explained.

When Niu Hulu heard this, his brows immediately frowned.This kind of method of refusing to greet and pretending to be noble was seen a lot in the harem, and the queen mother immediately felt that Xia Yingying wanted to seduce the emperor.As a result, Niu Hulu's gaze was directed towards Qianlong.

"Well, it's a hot one." Qianlong squinted his eyes, as if he had become interested in Xia Yingying.

......

West Lake Willow, West Lake Willow,

Do you see a piece of green?

In a blink of an eye, spring and winter come again,

Only pedestrians don't look back!

West Lake Willow, West Lake Willow,

Was Qingqing here yesterday?

Even though the long strips seem to hang down like old ones,

Pity for breaking his hand!

At this time, Xia Yingying had already finished singing, and only the lingering sound remained.With a wave of his hand, Qianlong ordered He Huaqing to invite this individual beauty onto the boat.

Niu Hulu was immediately unhappy, but she didn't show it on her face, but her right hand holding the cup was slightly tightened.

After about a cup of tea, He Huaqing returned to the boat, followed by a young woman in a light pink flag dress and a bun with a fragrant bun.She was about [-] or [-] years old, and she was born with a fairy beauty, a heavenly fragrance and a national beauty. I saw her holding a pipa in her arms, walking with lotus growth every step of the way, graceful and charming, very attractive.

"Daughter Xia Yingying, see the Lord Long Live, see the Empress Dowager, see His Highness Prince Yi, see His Highness Prince Yijun." Walking in front of people, Xia Yingying held the pipa, facing Qianlong, the Queen Mother, Qi Yao and Yongxuan Yingying. Bye, the posture is beautiful, as for the other people, Xiaoyanzi and Ziwei, Yongyan and Shi Gege, and Chen Zhihua who is "unidentified" in her opinion, she just pretended not to see them.After the ceremony, Xia Yingying raised her head, and looked at Qianlong with her beautiful eyes full of autumn water: "I don't know why the emperor asked the magistrate to call the girls over here?"

"I heard that you are the No. 1 prostitute in Hangzhou. Why did He Aiqing invite you to accompany him on a boat before, but you didn't want to come? Now, you sit in a small boat and play the piano and sing songs for me?" Qianlong squinted his eyes with concern He looked at Xia Yingying with interest.

"Returning to the emperor, Yingying didn't specially sing for the emperor today, but went swimming with her sisters on the lake. Because the moon was bright and the wind was clear, she sang this song "West Lake Willow" on a whim." Xia Yingying replied neither humble nor overbearing.

"Oh? That's right..." Qianlong smiled noncommittally, and said, "Since you're here, just sit here for a while, play and sing a few more songs before going back!"

"Your Majesty! Although Yingying was born in a poor family and was forced to live in the Jianghu, she has also read some poems and books and learned some principles. In Hangzhou, I debuted for two years, and the principle of accompanying wine and not accompanying guests has never been broken. Tonight I came to the lake with my sisters, not guests on this boat. I know that the emperor is the king of ten thousand chariots, no one dares to defy, but please forgive me, my sisters are still waiting for me on the boat, I can't put They left them there, and I'm not the one who will come when they are called. Please forgive me for my difficulties, and let me go back to my boat!" Who knew that it was just such a sentence, but Xia Yingying seemed to have suffered a lot. It was like an insult, and he suddenly turned pale and said a lot of words.

For a moment, the boat fell into silence.After a long time, Niu Hulu spoke slowly, but to Chen Zhihua who was beside her: "Some people always don't understand their own identities, and expect things that they shouldn't think about... Zhihua , you are a smart kid, don't do this to her!"

"Thank you, Empress Dowager, for teaching me, I understand." Chen Zhihua smiled softly, dignified and decent.

Xia Yingying's complexion turned ugly for a moment.

Niu Hulu's face was blatantly slapped this time. Everyone knew that she was talking about Xia Yingying; but the Queen Mother didn't say it clearly, and Xia Yingying had no choice but to refute it.

"Miss Xia, is it the king's land in the whole world, is it the king's minister on the shore of the land, Huang Ama is the lord of the Qing Dynasty, but it's not a big deal for you to stay here to play the pipa and sing a few ditties. Stop?" Qi Yao came out to relieve Xia Yingying, with a gentle smile, and gently persuaded her.

"Prince Xie Yi's kindness, but..." Xia Yingying turned to Qi Yao again, her bright autumn eyes seemed to be full of affection, "Yingying really... wants to go back to the boat!"

Qi Yao's eyes darkened, he turned his head and said to Qianlong: "Huang Ama, why don't you let Miss Xia go back?"

Niu Hulu looked at Qi Yao with something wrong.

"Okay, it's up to you." Qianlong nodded and let him go.

Xia Yingying bowed to Qianlong again, said "Yingying resigns", and she really stepped back.

With a wave of Qianlong's big hand, the sound of silk and bamboo sounded again on the painting boat, and it became lively in an instant.Qianlong asked someone to bring a jar of pine wine, and poured a glass for himself and the two grown-up princes, and the three of them drank.Little Swallow looked greedy and begged for a cup to try it. It tasted really good.

"Hey, hey, Huang Ama, what are you guys doing... raise your glass to the moon, will you become three people?" Little Swallow exclaimed happily.

"Little Swallow, it's 'raise your glass to invite the bright moon, and the shadows will form three people'!" Ziwei corrected her with a helpless face but a gentle smile, "And you shouldn't use this here, you should... you should use it. 'Dragon head pours wine to invite wine stars, golden trough pipa night sips' is right!"

"Okay, okay, I can't say enough about you!" Little Yanzi waved her hand carelessly, and said boldly, "If you want me to say, eating a lot of meat and drinking a lot, it's a pleasure!" This is saying Qianlong, Qiyao, and Yongxuan were not bold enough to drink from small cups.

"Little Swallow." Qianlong turned cold on purpose, and couldn't hold back his laughter after a while, "You, you not only 'drink' tea, but also 'drink' wine! Not all wine can be drunk Yes, some wines still need to be sipped in small sips!"

Little Swallow scratched her head, smiled awkwardly and said, "Oh, anyway, my little Swallow likes to drink heavily!"

Seeing her appearance, Qianlong couldn't help laughing, Qi Yao and Yongxuan also bent their lips, not to mention Ziwei, who had already looked helpless and extremely gentle.

However, the Empress Dowager Niu Hulu was not in such a good mood.She was originally dissatisfied with Xia Yingying's posturing, and because her son and grandson seemed to have a good impression of that lowly Han girl, the old lady was also a little depressed.Now, seeing Little Yanzi's unceremonious, vulgar and ignorant behavior again, I feel even more worried—it is this woman, such a woman who doesn't know the so-called woman, who actually attracted the fifth elder brother Yong Qi to insist on marrying her and was completely raped. Fascinated!

She snorted softly, inconspicuous amidst the sound of silk and bamboo, but Chen Zhihua who was by her side noticed it.

"Empress Dowager?" Chen Zhihua asked very considerately with a gentle smile on his face, "What's wrong with you, are you unhappy?"

Niu Hulu sighed slightly, and said seriously to Chen Zhihua: "Oh, the Ai family has always liked girls like you..."

The author has something to say: Songling wine: When Qianlong was in power, Minister Zhang Zhao once offered a recipe for Songling wine. Qianlong ordered people to make wine according to this recipe. He searched for ancient pine trees in the mountains, dug deep to the roots of the trees, opened the lid of the wine urn, and buried it. Under the tree roots, the liquid in the pine roots is gradually absorbed by the wine.A year later, when it was dug out, the color of the wine was like amber, and the pines wine was made.Emperor Qianlong often drank this wine in moderation.People in the Qing Dynasty said that Qianlong's life span was ninety years, and he was healthy and healthy, and it had the effect of Songling wine.

Then I want to say, in fact, I’m not anyone’s hack → but the plot needs it, so those who like Yingying girls—and Zhihua girls may also be hacked?Actually, I want to say that my favorite female character in Huanzhu 3 was Zhihua QVQ—I’m sorry~
