Heiankyo love story

After the two sisters of the Star Clan had a heart-to-heart conversation, Fujihime no longer used Tachibana Youya to test Jiang Xue, but spoke seriously about the banquet that only received an invitation from Nakamiya.

The nobles in Heian capital always liked to hold banquets, no matter what the title was, they could use it as a reason, such as flower viewing, poetry writing, moon viewing, autumn festival, and so on, the list goes on and on.During the New Year period, the banquets are even more intensive. Almost all the families of the big nobles will hold banquets day after day. For example, Mrs. Rinko, as the mistress of the Fujiwara family, kept changing the name of the banquet every day, so that Jiang Xue can quickly establish her reputation.

If the nobles are like this, Ouchi naturally cannot lag behind.

The previous generation of emperors held a banquet in the name of praying for blessings at the beginning of the year. At that time, Yuan Boya, the god of Gagaku, was still alive. At the banquet, Yuan Boya played a pipa that moved the heart. Just at that time, a tree outside the palace The sprouts sprouted, and some people attached that it was the music of the god of gala music that moved the gods. Winter and spring came, and the sprouts sprouted, which was a sign of auspiciousness. What's more, the weather was really good that year, and autumn ushered in a bumper harvest.So this banquet has become a custom. At this time of the year, everyone with elegance and talent will perform, and it is not limited to music. Calligraphy, painting, incense, and dance are all within the scope. After all, there were very few people who summoned the signs of the sky like the God of God, and this blessing banquet gradually became a stage for these nobles in Beijing.Over the past few years, there have been quite a few people who became famous in one fell swoop at the banquet, and there were not a few people who were generous or even ruined their reputation. Because of this, this banquet gradually became a touchstone. Only those who have passed the test can become recognized. Everyone, and those who think they are top-notch but dare not perform in public have been denounced as people who are trying to catch fame.

After listening to this description, Jiang Xue suddenly realized.

If this is the case, it is no wonder that Dingzi Zhonggong specially sent an invitation card—probably worried that if she didn't know about it and her absence would be regarded as a sign of cowardice.

Mr. Fujiwara's "it's a pity" is also regretting the loss of such a legitimate opportunity to establish a reputation.

"Where's sister Sting's post?"

Fujiji quickly took out a beautiful post from the cabinet, and carefully held it to Jiang Xue with both hands.

"Master Zhonggong entrusted the major general to send the invitation. A few days ago, it was inconvenient for Sister Xue to see guests, so I put away the invitation first."

"Thanks a lot."

Jiang Xue touched Tengji's head before accepting the invitation. As soon as she got the invitation, she smelled a faint aroma of black squares. It's all about "Xue Ji's favorite fragrance and color" she once told Dingzi, not Dingzi's own preference.

Stator...the love for "Fujiwara Yuki" is really not ordinary.

Jiang Xue felt that if she hadn't written a love letter during the strategy, she would never have taken care of the other party's preferences. It might be troublesome to scent the paper according to her own preferences, so a blank piece of paper is not bad.

The content of the invitation is well-written, but in the name of Nakamiya, the princess of the Fujiwara family is invited to attend the blessing banquet in Ouchi, and it is best to bring a musical instrument.

"what?"

Originally, Fujiji sat sideways to avoid suspicion, and didn't look at the invitation in Jiang Xue's hand. When she heard the voice, she turned her head in doubt and asked, "Sister Xue, what's wrong?"

Jiang Xue closed the post and said with a smile: "Well... Sister Dingzi asked me to bring a musical instrument, instead of stating that I should bring a huqin..."

"Isn't that a matter of course?" Fujiki thought what was wrong, and laughed relaxedly when she heard such an answer, "Major General Tachibana came today to inquire about sister Xue's recovery... It is said that Ouchi is already looking forward to listening Sister Xue has played the harp for a long time. Since the family banquet, Sister Xue has never played the harp again, right?"

Jiang Xue was taken aback for a moment, but after thinking about it for a while, she had no choice but to nod.

"Indeed...Although there were also performances later, most of them were either qin or huqin..."

Fujiki lowered her head with a smile, covered her face with her sleeves, and smiled in a low voice for a while before answering: "That's natural... If Sister Xue often plays the harp... then it's not uncommon. Mrs. Lunzi will never commit such a crime." This is a mistake. But, what better occasion than a blessing banquet for Sister Xue’s harp to be displayed in front of everyone? Zhonggong must have the same idea—more than a month has passed since the family banquet, and there is another Sister Xue's injury... Many people are worried that the harp will become a thing of the past. If Sister Xue plays the konghou at the blessing banquet, she will definitely become a blockbuster."

Even though Jiang Xue had known Fujihime Zaohui for a long time, she was taken aback when she heard these words. After a short moment of surprise, she couldn't help but feel proud.

Such an intelligent girl is her younger sister, how can one not be proud?

Driven by such a mood, Jiang Xue said to Fujiji with a smile: "Since Fujiji has said so... It seems that I will bring the harp to the banquet no matter what."

Fujiji smiled and nodded, and then added in a low voice: "Sister Xue's konghou is naturally unparalleled in the world... However, I still prefer Sister Xue's huqin."

"Hey?" Jiang Xue was a little surprised, but couldn't help but want to test Fujihime's thoughts, suppressed her joy, and asked with a slight smile, "Why?"

Fujiji looked directly at Jiang Xue for a moment, and replied with a confident smile: "Because sister Xue likes Huqin more."

Jiang Xue hugged Fujiji happily, and replied joyfully, "Yes."

Fujiji suddenly smiled slyly, tilted her head and asked, "If I said it was because sister Xue's huqin is of a higher standard, sister Xue wouldn't be so happy, would she?"

Jiang Xue took a look at Teng Ji, shook her head and said, "Being good at something because you like it... No one can be proficient in something they don't like. One cause and one effect are the same as the outside, there is no difference."

Fujihime seemed to have seen through the truth, she smiled without saying a word, only the smile in her eyes revealed her true thoughts.

The blessing banquet arrived as scheduled, and two ox carts drove out from Fujiwara's house.

Before setting off, Mrs. Lunzi solemnly told Jiang Xue not to have any scruples if she ran into trouble. Still a little confused, when she thought of the chaotic relationship between men and women in the Heian era, she suddenly realized that this was not the strict rules and regulations of the Chinese court, but Heian Jing, a palace woman who could openly have affairs with foreign ministers, and immediately nodded to express her understanding.

However, Jiang Xue's guarantee clearly cannot reassure Mrs. Lunzi.

When Jiang Xue got off the ox cart, she was dumbfounded—it was not Fujiwara Takamichi who stretched out his hand to her under the cart and said "be careful" with a gentle smile, but Fujiwara Michijo.

Jiang Xue was in a daze, she got off the bullock cart with Mr. Fujiwara in a trance, followed Mr. Fujiwara to Ouchi in fear, and recalled vaguely how Mr. Fujiwara was in the past few weeks. How unkind, cruel, cold-blooded and cruel...

On the way from the Fujiwara family to the Ouchi Palace, Mr. Fujiwara has fully done everything a good father can do.

No matter who it is, as long as they see how concerned and cherished Fujiwara Michizane is when he treats Jiang Xue, they will clearly understand how this powerful left minister holds the princess in front of him in his hands.

Undoubtedly, Jiang Xue's appearance this time is far more eye-catching than when Fujiwara Takamichi brought her to Ouchi, and those who were originally suspicious no longer dare to question the authority of the Fujiwara family's attitude towards this matter. What is the opinion of the girl who returned from the Tang Dynasty?

The power of Minister Zuo is the most solid backing and reliance of this princess. As long as Mr. Fujiwara is still in power for a day, no one has the guts to bear the possible consequences of hurting his most beloved daughter.

There were many guests at the blessing banquet, and it took half an hour before the guests came one after another. When the emperor in the throne announced the start of the banquet, almost everyone turned their attention to Mr. Fujiwara.

Jiang Xue was seated next to Mr. Fujiwara, with the touching harp beside him.

The emperor complied with everyone's wishes and raised his wine glass with a smile.

"Today, all the gentlemen are gathered together, and I am honored to listen to my younger brother Shenquan, Major General Tachibana and the princess of the Fujiwara family playing music on the same stage. Please have a drink first, and celebrate this feast!"

Everyone at the banquet toasted and drank together, and then looked more eagerly at the three people who had been named, their eyes constantly wandering between the two famous flute masters and konghou.

Although the royal prince in monk's robe didn't like the excitement, but for the sake of his elder brother, he endured the uneasiness and left the table.

Ju Youya also walked forward with a flute, smiled and saluted when she saw Yongquan, and said politely: "It is really a happy thing to be on the same stage with His Highness Yongquan again."

Yongquan held the dragon flute and said in a low voice: "I am also very happy to be able to play with Lord Youya. And, today..."

The shy Prince of France couldn't go on talking after all, he couldn't stop looking at Kong Hou, revealing his unfinished heart.

Ju Youya smiled casually, and walked forward with a smile.

"His Royal Highness Xue Ji, do you need help?"

Jiang Xue looked at the young man who was smiling like a spring breeze in front of her, shook her head slightly, picked up the harp and walked to the center, sat on the floor, and whispered to the two musicians on the same stage: "Please cooperate with me, both adults."

Ju Youya couldn't help being startled, then smiled and said: "It's all up to Xue Ji's arrangement."

Yongquan was even more stunned, but he was submissive and introverted. Although he felt that Fujiwara Yukihime's request was abrupt, he thought that the three of them had never played together before, and they hadn't discussed playing music first. The music of the harp nodded happily.

Jiang Xue didn't care whether the two of them really agreed or falsely agreed. Anyway, she has limited attainments in konghou and is not as comfortable as the erhu. If she uses konghou to cooperate with other people's performance, it will easily cause problems, so it is better to let go of the performance.

What's more, Fujihime has already said that, if she can't surprise everyone today, won't some boring people go back and laugh at her?

Jiang Xue didn't deliberately tease people's appetites, and drew the string with both hands, and the sound of running water flowed out from her fingertips.

The banquet of prayers, seeking auspicious omens, winter passing and spring coming, and all things sprouting.

Why not go one step further?

The tide of the Spring River is even with the sea level, and the bright moon on the sea coexists with the tide.Twinkling and twinkling with the waves for thousands of miles, where is the spring river without moonlight!

The river flows around Fangdian, and the moonlit flowers and forests look like hail.Frost in the sky flies unconsciously, and Baisha cannot be seen in Tingshang.

The picturesque scenery spread out in front of everyone, and the boundless river view gradually appeared.

Not to mention the mesmerized ordinary people, even the two onmyojis present couldn't help showing a look of surprise.

This is not an illusion, but it is even more amazing than an illusion.

That is the power of pure melody, and the musician presents the picture in his heart to the audience through the melody.

This is a corner of the inner world of the musician playing the konghou at this moment.

Kong Hou played solo for a long time before the two flute voices joined in one after another. They cleverly found their own positions, echoing Kong Hou's voice, and played the song "Spring River Flower and Moon Night" together.
