Chapter 8

Murong Zhining's body recovered quickly. Through acupuncture, Gao Taiyi cleaned up the residual poison in her body and used many good herbs for conditioning. Two months later, Murong Zhining has a ruddy and radiant complexion.

Picking mulberry accompanied Murong Zhining to walk in the garden. In the Imperial Palace in early autumn, the leaves of many trees have turned yellow and fallen one by one. The two girls do not hurt spring and autumn as other women do. They happily grasp the leaves dancing in the wind with their hands, laughing one after another. Murong Zhining and Caisang haven't been so happy for a long time. The two girls who have been used to suffering since childhood enjoy the leisure life in front of them.

Caisang smiled at Murong Zhining: "Zhining, you look so beautiful! You don't look like a normal kid at all. How can you live as hard as me? But now that you are well, you will surely marry a powerful and powerful husband in the future. " Murong Zhining pinched her face and said, "you look good too. Do you want to marry? Have a sweetheart? " She then sighed: "if only the children of ordinary people would be good, at least they don't need to be chased and killed. If the mammy didn't protect me, she would not die! I killed her! I'm an unlucky person. Whoever touches me will not have a good end. "

Caisang grabs Murong Zhining's hands and shakes her coquettish way: "it's not easy that everything is developing in a good direction. You always think of something sad. If you have knowledge under the spring, you will not feel well. Besides, the nurse is willing to give up her life for you, which shows that you are very important to her. You should live a good life, find a chance to reveal your life experience, find out the murderer of the mistress, and let her die in peace. "

Murong Zhining nodded and praised: "well, we go to see the emperor. Since the misunderstanding is over, he should let us out of the palace. I want to go to hetangao first, the Yin family who took me in. They are all good people. I want to report peace to her family first. By the way, I want to find out who sold me to wanhuage. " Caisang's eyes glared: "what? Are you from hetangao, too? My aunt is also from hetangao, also called Yin family. Her man is a pig butcher. My home is next to hers. "

Murong Zhining is shocked. What kind of fate is it? When Murong Zhining was at Yin's house, he heard Yin's quarrel with the butcher. He said that Yin Hua, Yin's younger brother, sold his daughter to others to be a servant girl in order to pay off gambling debts. It turned out that Caisang was his daughter who was sold by Yin Hua.

Caisang is one year older than Murong Zhining. To sum up, Murong Zhining has to call her elder sister. The two sisters hugged each other and both lamented the wonderful fate. Caisang's eyes were red with excitement: "I will accompany you to visit my aunt."

According to the report of the palace people, Murong Zhining asked them to come to the Royal study. Murong Zhining and Caisang go to Yanfeng to kneel and worship. Yanfeng asks them to stand and talk.

Murong Zhining lowered her eyes: "thank you for saving your life! Since the emperor has learned that I am not related to the dealer in law, he asks the emperor to be gracious and give me the freedom to let us out of the palace. "

Yan Feng's voice was as cold as ever: "are you so anxious to leave? I just know that you are not pregnant. As for the relationship with the dealer, it remains to be verified. You should live first. " Murong Zhining said: "it's not difficult to check, just ask two more people for help. Or You can have another test. "

Yan Feng's face was gloomy and cruel. He approached Murong Zhining and lowered his head, almost touching Murong Zhining's face. His icy eyes were fixed on her apricot eyes. The emperor's natural Majesty was frightening, and the powerful aura made the air seem stagnant.

It's terrible to be quiet around. I can hear the needle dropping: "how can I do things? Do you need to teach me? How dare you? " Murong Zhining did not dodge his fierce eyes. She calmly looked at the deep black eyes of Yanfeng, and the two eyes looked at each other for a long time.

Yanfeng suddenly realized that this was the first time someone dared to look directly at his own eyes. There is no second person in the world who dares to look at him for such a long time. This little girl is really not easy. "I'm very busy these days. I don't have time to deal with it." Yan Feng looks back and orders his bodyguards: "send them back to Qixiang palace."

Murong Zhining knew that even if he said one more word, the emperor's anger could burn her and Caisang to ashes. She had seen Yanfeng's violent temper, and she knew how to pull up Caisang, who was shaking with fear, and Shane left.

Qixiang palace is a fault Princess of the emperor. It was built in Qing Dynasty with simple facilities. After the concubine died, she was empty all the time. This palace is only better than the cold palace. At that time, Murong Zhining was seriously ill and could not continue to live in the dungeon. Yanfeng Quan let Murong Zhining stay in the idle palace for a while to cure the disease. In addition to picking mulberry, he arranged a little maid to follow Murong Zhining's orders.

Back to Qixiang palace, picking mulberry took a long time to slow down. She held Murong Zhining's face in both hands: "Oh, my God! Scared to death, I thought we couldn't come back. Zhi congeals your courage to be really big, I admire you very much Then he tooted again and said, "no, we can't go out of the palace. I can't see my brother Daniel anymore."

Autumn night is as cool and pleasant as water. There is a little firefly dancing in the air near the pond in the distance. Two girls are sitting on the stone steps outside the door, snuggling up to each other and talking. A little maid stands beside her, her name is spring apricot.

Spring apricot was originally the maid around chiyunping. Once, because of tension, she sprinkled tea on Yanfeng and was punished by chiyunping. Originally to cut off her hands, Yanfeng saw that she was pitiful and spared her sins, but only hit a few boards.Chiyun Ping insists that Chunxing wants to attract Yanfeng's attention and is determined to drive her out of the palace. Just as Murong Zhining needs people around her, Yanfeng will send her to serve Murong Zhining and let her report daily details of Murong Zhining and mulberry picking to Yanfeng.

The next day, Yanfeng sent someone to Murong Zhining to send an ancient Qin. Yanfeng learns from Chunxing's mouth that Murong Zhining is often fascinated by an old Qin manual, and when she looks at it, she puts out a gesture of playing. She looks very engaged. Yanfeng also heard that she learned to play the piano when she was a child, so she asked people to send a piano casually.

Murong Zhining sees the guqin, and her eyes are bright. This ancient zither is made of superior Tung wood, and its head is inlaid with flowers, birds, insects and fish carved from Pearl mother. The body of the piano is simple and heavy, with a lustrous luster. Very similar to the legend, the four major Guqin "beam.".

The four famous Qin in the legend are the bell of Duke Huan of Qi, the ring of King Zhuang of Chu, the Green Qi of Sima Xiangru and the Jiao Wei of Cai Yong. After the change of dynasties, some of the four famous Qin's masters changed, some of them flowed into the emperor's house, some of them drifted into the general's house and even the folk, except for the "detour beam" of the king of Chu Zhuang.

"Detour beam" is a person named Hua Yuan who is dedicated to the king of Chu Zhuang. Qin is named "detour beam". It's a story: it's said that there was a Korean singer named Han E in Zhou Dynasty. She went to Qi state to join her relatives in order to avoid the war and ran out of money on the way. When she got to yongmen, she couldn't help it, so she had to sing for food and money. Her sad and sad songs, such as wild geese singing in the sky and warblers singing in the deep valley, are very infectious. Until three days after she left, her singing still lingered between the beams of the room, which was unforgettable to the listeners. It is precisely because of this allusion that "the sound is lingering around the beam for three days". The famous musical instrument "twirling beam" is also named after this allusion. It can be seen that this piece of musical instrument is characterized by a long aftertone.

King Zhuang of Chu got the "beam detour" and couldn't let go of it. He played music all day and ruined the state affairs. One of his concubines, Fan Ji, said, "you are too addicted to music. In ancient times, Xia Jie was very fond of a piece of song called "sister Xi", which led to the disaster of death. King, if you get around the beam, you will ignore the state affairs. If you don't go to the court for seven days, you will lose the country! " After hearing Fan Ji's words, King Zhuang of Chu was greatly moved, but he could not get rid of the temptation of "detour beam", so he had to bear the pain to have someone smash "detour beam" into several sections with a hammer. A famous zither, which has become a masterpiece for thousands of years!

Murong Zhining repeatedly observed the body of the Qin and fell into a deep thought.

Murong Zhining's master is a Qin Yue zither player. He is a zither fan. In order to see all kinds of good zither, I have worked as a zither player in the palace, a teacher for the children of senior officials, and a teacher for girls in brothels. Murong Zhining is the most gifted student he has ever met. In addition to teaching Qin, the master often taught her some knowledge of Guqin.

Shifu once showed Murong Zhining the manual of four famous Qin. People of Aegean enjoy seeing all kinds of famous Qin. Even if you can't see the real product, there are also pictures for appreciation. He has explained to Murong Zhining the external characteristics, sound characteristics and material details of each famous Qin recorded in ancient books. Under the influence of his master, Murong Zhining also has a strong interest in ancient Qin. In addition, the old music score left by the mistress needs to be deciphered. She prefers to study the knowledge related to guqin.

Murong Zhining hooks the strings with her fingers. The sound is deep and lingering. She could almost conclude that this was the "detour beam" destroyed by the order of King Zhuang of Chu in the legend.

Murong Zhining was very surprised. She didn't expect to have the chance to see the famous Qin in the legend. She ordered spring apricot to fetch water for her, wash her hands and burn a furnace of sandalwood. She slowly stroked the strings and played a lost old tune which she and her master had arranged.

Yan Feng listened to the sound of the piano in silence, and his face was surprised. He didn't expect anyone else in the palace to be able to play the tune. And the sound of this piano also shocked him. He passed by Qixiang palace and was attracted by the sound.

Yan Feng is afraid to disturb those who play the piano, and let the eunuchs wait in place. He went to Qixiang Palace by himself.

Murong Zhining played the strings selflessly. The silhouette of her playing was covered with a golden halo by the afterglow of the setting sun, which was so mysterious, beautiful and refined. Yan Feng was stunned at the door.

Caisang holds her cheeks with her hands and looks at Murong Zhining with adoration. They didn't notice that the young emperor had stepped into the gate of Qixiang palace with his hands on his back.

Murong Zhining plays a song and is still infatuated with the charm of ancient ballads. At this time, a majestic voice came from behind: "you play the lost" rising tide of the moon "? I didn't expect that in my palace, not only can someone play such a good tune, but also such a good piano! "

Yan Feng went over and stroked the body for a long time. Murong Zhining saw the ceremony and said to Yanfeng, "I didn't expect that the emperor also knew this lost poem" the rising tide of the moon "!" Yan Feng glances at her carelessly, hooks his lips and turns his eyes to Qin: "are you laughing at me? This piece of music is based on the Tang Dynasty's "spring river flower moon night" in the "Spring River tide even sea level, sea moon tide live together." And do it. It has been lost so far. The last Guqin score was given by me to a very congenial Qin player. How can you play this tune? " Murong Zhining respectfully said: "the master of the maidservant is Qin Yue. This song was taught by his old man." Yan Feng touched his nose and said proudly, "I didn't expect that you were Mr. Qin's student. I need to know that the music score you played is just what I gave to your master!"Murong Zhining sighed in her heart about the delicacy of fate. She asked Yanfeng, "where is the emperor's piano coming from? Does the emperor know its name? "

Yan Feng's eyes never left the Guqin. He shook his head and said, "I heard Chunxing say that you love to study the music score. I think you like the Guqin. I'll send someone to the warehouse to find one for you. I didn't expect that there was such a good Qin in my palace. I just don't know the origin of this piano or how long it has been kept in the warehouse! "

Murong Zhining looked at the Yan Feng who was focusing on the Qin and secretly covered his mouth and smiled: "if I said that the Qin was a lost" ring beam ", would the emperor believe it?" Yan Feng glanced at Murong Zhining suspiciously, and then his eyes fell on the Guqin again. He stroked carefully: "no way, you don't think I know nothing about Guqin! The real "detour beam" was hammered by the king of Chu Zhuang to make several pieces of broken wood in public

Murong Zhining Apricot's eyes were shining with wisdom, and his expression was a little sly: "I couldn't believe it at the beginning, but when I think about it carefully, it's possible that Wang Aiqin of Chuzhuang was so crazy that he would not give up destroying the" detour beam ". He ordered people to make a Qin with a very similar shape to "detour beam", and smashed it in front of the crowd. And the real "detour" is left to a zither player who is most congenial to him and takes him away from the palace. The zither player solemnly assured King Zhuang of Chu that he would never let the "detour" appear in front of the world

Yan Feng still shook his head and couldn't believe it. Murong Zhining pointed to an inconspicuous injury at the end of the piano: "this injury was caused by the fact that when King Zhuang of Chu played a high music, he was too involved and broke a string. The broken string bounces across the end of the piano, forming a small depression. This is also recorded in the ancient book "appreciation collection of Mingqin"
