Chapter 109 The Towering Princess
Lou Yingqi opened his mouth, wanting to give a reminder.
But his father's aura was so strong at this moment that he didn't know how to start.
However, Zeng Shilin did not let him wait for long. He slowly looked at him and asked:
"If you want to make the princess's party afraid to act rashly, I have a way."
"What method?" Lou Yingqi was startled and looked at his father expectantly.
"Is the snake's body still there?"
A sneer appeared on Dad's lips.
"Uh..." Lou Yingqi looked up blankly.
"Send it to my house later. I will make some snake soup for the princess."
Lou Yingqi opened his mouth in surprise.
He first looked at Zeng Anmin.
He looked at Zeng Shilin again.
I was a little absent-minded for a moment.
"Knocking the mountain to scare the tiger, what a good strategy!"
Zeng Anmin gave a thumbs up.
Dad slowly raised his chin and said calmly:
"That is because Dean Shi accompanied Ji Qing to the border to subdue the demon. Otherwise, this bowl of snake soup would not be mine to deliver."
Dean Shi.
The president of Qilin Academy in the capital.
An absolute boss in the realm of destiny in the second rank of Confucianism and Taoism.
It was also my father’s support when he was young in Beijing!
However, this big tree is now slaying monsters in the northern border together with Ji Qing, the chief of the Imperial City.
"Thank you, Mr. Zeng."
Lou Yingqi had unknowingly changed the way he addressed his father.
"Well, it's getting late, so I won't keep Minister Lou for dinner."
Dad slowly picked up the teacup.
"I'll take my leave."
Lou Yingqi bowed respectfully to his father and slowly retreated towards the door.
…………
"Don't you want to see me off?"
Zeng Anmin blinked and looked at his father.
Zeng Shilin stared at him expressionlessly for a while, then took a sip of tea and asked calmly:
"So what are you still doing sitting here?"
"Well."
Zeng Namin's mouth twitched, and he took a step towards chasing Lou Yingqi outside:
"Uncle Lou, I'll see you off!"
…………
That night.
In the extremely magnificent imperial palace.
Somewhere in the yard.
There was a mature woman sitting there.
In front of her was a very ornamental chime.
At this moment, her long white fingers twisted the slender bell and gently struck the chimes in front of her.
The mature woman was extremely gorgeous, and her eyes seemed to be covered with fine sand, making it difficult to see clearly.
Just like the stars, it attracts the eyes of young people.
Every one of her facial features is just right.
A red mole at the corner of her mouth gives her an alluring beauty.
“Ding ding ding~”
The pleasant sound of chimes echoed in the courtyard.
The mature woman's face was full of enjoyment.
She was wearing a black long gown, exuding an unparalleled nobility.
As her beating rhythm became faster, the two peaks that rose high and seemed about to burst out rose and fell.
The most eye-catching thing is her waist.
The extremely narrow and slender waist is gathered up by the jade belt, forming a very beautiful arc.
It arouses people's imagination and makes people blush.
Further down, the round buttocks sat on the cushion, leaving a gap between them and the bright yellow cushion that made people breathe harder.
She exudes perfection from head to toe.
She looked like a work of art carved from white jade by the finest craftsmen.
The palace maid beside her bowed her head respectfully.
Waiting quietly for the mature woman to strike the chimes.
The song ends.
The maid finally dared to speak: "Your Highness, Princess Ning'an is here to see you."
The mature woman slowly raised her head.
His eyes looked straight into the palace maid's eyes.
"What is it?"
When she spoke, there was a touch of indifference that was extremely elegant.
It seems as if he is indifferent to the world.
But there is a hint of extremely tempting temptation.
The sound is extremely beautiful, just like the sound of music flowing through the beams.
"I don't know."
The palace maid bent even lower.
"aunt!!"
At this moment, a figure came from outside the yard like the wind.
Ning An's eyes were filled with coldness. She came to the eldest princess and pointed outside the courtyard and said:
"Kill all those palace maids and eunuchs!"
"They kept stopping me from coming in!"
"Dog slave!"
When she said this, she couldn't help but grit her teeth again:
"In my place, if a few servants dare to stop me like this, they will be chopped into pieces and fed to the dogs!"
…
Ning An was still the same, leaving everyone speechless as soon as he appeared.
A cold look flashed across the eldest princess's eyes, and then a smile appeared on her beautiful face. She slowly stood up from the futon:
"They are just a few servants, why bother with them?"
Only then did her true appearance appear.
Long legs, a thin waist, round buttocks and those extremely eye-catching towering hills.
She was very tall, a full head taller than Ning An.
She looked down at Ning An with a gentle smile and asked:
"Why are you here to see Auntie today?"
Ning An said as if it was a matter of course: "I have no money left, so I came to ask my aunt for some. I will give you one thousand taels this time."
The eldest princess chuckled and said, "I wonder what it is."
After saying this, she raised her chin, looked at the palace maid beside her and said:
"Go get His Highness Ning An a three thousand tael silver note."
"Yes." The palace maid still lowered her head and looked submissive.
But before leaving, he squinted his eyes and glanced at Ning An.
Princess Ning'an was completely oblivious to this. She sat carelessly on the cushion that the eldest princess had just stood up from.
"Auntie, the snacks here are delicious. Do you have any more?"
The princess smiled softly and shook her head, "It's not dinner time yet, not yet."
As soon as she finished speaking, she heard a voice:
"Your Highness, Princess, someone saw you and said they sent you some nourishing food that will warm your blood."
"oh?"
The eldest princess frowned slightly, looked at the palace maid and asked:
"Who sent it?"
"The Shangshu's house." The palace maid replied.
Shangshu No.?
It should be Ren Weizhi.
The eldest princess's brows relaxed slightly, and she nodded calmly:
"Yes, take my pair of chicken-blood jade red cups from the storehouse as a return gift."
"yes."
After the palace maid entered the room, she bumped into a small and exquisite box and walked out after a while.
"What chicken blood cup?" Ning An, who was sitting on the futon, looked at the princess walking away, then looked up at the eldest princess curiously.
From her perspective, she could only see the high protrusion of black cloth.
Cover the eldest princess's face tightly.
"It's just worthless stuff."
The eldest princess chuckled and didn't care much.
"Oh, I want it too." Princess Ning An looked at the eldest princess as if it was a matter of course and said:
"Send a pair to my Yongning Palace tomorrow."
The eldest princess's expression froze slightly.
Then he smiled, took a deep breath and said, "Okay."
"Um."
"That snake soup."
Princess Ning'an looked towards the palace maid who was walking slowly towards her with a food box in her hand.
"Your Highness."
The palace maid came before the eldest princess respectfully.
"Open it and take a look!" Ning An ordered the palace maid.
The palace maid pursed her lips, slowly raised her head and looked weakly at the eldest princess.
"Open it."
The eldest princess nodded slightly.
"You little dog!" Ning An was so angry that her teeth itched. She glared at him:
"I told you to open it, but you didn't listen?"
"Why should I be angry with her?" The princess took a deep breath, suppressed the restlessness in her heart, and stared at the palace maid.
Ning An still wanted to persist, but ended up smelling an extremely unpleasant odor.
She frowned instantly and looked at the food box.
A bloody smell filled the air.
"What is that? It stinks so bad?!"
Ning An pinched his nose and stepped back.
The eldest princess's face also darkened, and her eyes were filled with an incomparable coldness as she looked into the food box.
Then I saw a bowl of bloody snake soup lying there quietly.
How can this be called a soup?
It was clearly a bowl of bloody snake meat!!
The princess raised her head abruptly and looked towards the palace maid, her voice tinged with murderous intent:
"Are you sure it was sent by Shangshudi?!"
The palace maid shuddered violently: "Your Highness, it was indeed the Minister of War who sent someone to deliver it!"
"They also say that the meat of this green viper is the most delicious..."
Green viper?!
Minister of War?!
The eldest princess's eyes suddenly narrowed.
She seemed to hear a voice.
Lou Yingqi is my henchman now.
I'll save his life!
If you are not satisfied, come to me later!
"Did you say anything else?"
The eldest princess had a blank expression on her face and her voice sounded as cold as the coldest days of winter.
"He said the bowl holding the snake meat was extremely exquisite and needed to be wrapped in rice paper from Qishan Road..."
Qishan Road.
Rice paper...
The eldest princess's white hands were clasped tightly together under her sleeves.
At this point, how could she not understand the threat involved?
Qishan Road refers to King Qi.
Rice paper...
She took a deep breath, her eyes expressionless, her voice cold:
"Let Chi Bufan come to see me!"
"yes."
…………
Imperial College.
Today is another beautiful day.
Zeng Anmin and a group of students were sitting in an open space at this time.
In front, an old figure sat opposite the group of students.
The figure had white hair and beard, and his face looked simple and old.
He was Li Lianting, the music teacher of the Imperial College.
It is even known as the best zither in the world.
A ten-stringed harp was placed in front of him.
The piano is extremely exquisite, with extremely smooth lines.
The same is true for the students below.
There was a long harp in front of each person.
But relatively speaking, their pianos are much more ordinary.
“Ding~”
As Li Lianting's withered hand gently stroked the strings, an extremely beautiful sound was heard.
Everyone subconsciously looked up at Li Lianting.
"The way of music is not just for the sake of music. When we Confucians study music theory, what we cultivate is not music, but transcendence."
Li Lianting's voice was leisurely.
Ringing in everyone's ears.
"What is 'Yue'?"
“As the ancient sages said, ‘To cross mountains and rivers is to transcend oneself.’”
“This is also the triple realm of music theory.”
“…………”
The knowledge that the old man spoke circulated in the air.
It reached Zeng Anmin's ears.
But it just couldn't get into his mind.
He was even a little drowsy at this time.
"I'm really not suited to listening to this kind of stuff."
Zeng Anmin yawned.
He glanced sideways at Qin Wanyue who was listening intently.
Qin Wanyue's profile is extremely beautiful.
At this moment, her eyes were shining brightly. As she listened to Li Lianting's explanation, she would nod from time to time...
Zeng Anmin immediately showed great respect for Qin Wanyue.
He will never be able to achieve this kind of good student's state in class in his lifetime.
It was the same in music class in my previous life.
As long as he is asked to sing, he will howl louder than anyone else.
But what do you say to him? "Doraimifasou laxi."
He fell asleep immediately.
"This is how music theory works. Do you remember it clearly?"
Li Lianting glanced around.
Then he saw the chubby prince sleeping on the table.
There was also Zeng Anmin, who was sitting in front of the little fat prince with lifeless eyes.
And Liu Xian who was dozing off with his head down on the other side.
These three people have been like this since the beginning of the class.
The get out of class is almost over and it's still like this.
Li Lianting's eyelids twitched slightly.
He took a deep breath, and a cold look flashed across his face:
"Would you mind if I played a song for you?"
Hearing this, all the students' faces lit up.
There was anticipation in his eyes.
It is said that Master Li's music can make birds lose their way.
I finally get to see it today!
Li Lianting took a deep breath, and his withered hands slowly stroked the piano.
“Ding~!!”
An extremely harsh voice rang out.
"Um?"
The little fat prince was instantly aroused by this voice. He raised his head suddenly without even bothering to wipe the saliva from the corner of his mouth, and his whole body trembled.
Liu Xian's sleepy head suddenly raised up.
The sleepiness in my mind disappeared instantly.
"What is that?!" The extremely flashy crabapple flower head on his head fell off.
Fortunately, the sound of the piano was enough to drown out their noise.
No one noticed them.
"bite!!!"
The next moment, an extremely solemn voice rang out from Li Lianting's piano.
It was like a battle between armies.
Everyone was so excited that goosebumps appeared on their bodies.
"Hiss~"
Zeng Anmin took a breath, couldn't help but come back to his senses, and looked towards Li Lianting.
This master, there is something special!!
“Ding ding ding~”
The sound of the piano continued, rising and falling very neatly.
Li Lianting's withered hands kept shaking on the piano like raindrops.
Everyone felt extremely depressed after hearing this.
Finally, the last sound of the piano fell!
"bite!!!!"
It seemed to be the sound of weapons clashing.
The piano music stopped abruptly.
Li Lianting looked at all the dull eyes, and the corners of his mouth curled up:
"how?"
"Master Li's music is unparalleled. I have benefited a lot today."
There was a hint of admiration in Qin Wanyue's tone.
"hehe."
Master Li slowly stood up and said, "Please play the passage just now one by one."
? ?
There was a glimmer of confusion in everyone's eyes.
"My life has been filled with the ups and downs of the qin. In my opinion, the "music" of the Six Arts is a spiritual comprehension, which has nothing to do with the sound of the qin played. And this piece of music, "Border Moon", is the most suitable for understanding "music".
Li Lianting looked at the crowd calmly and said, "So whether you play beautifully or not is not important. What is important is whether you can express the solemnity in your heart that matches the sound of the music while playing."
…
Very profound.
This naturally caused everyone to whisper.
"Who's going first?"
“Let me go first!!”
The first person to speak was the one sitting behind Zeng Anmin...Liu Xian.
Liu Xian's face was filled with confidence as he gently stroked the ten-stringed zither in front of him, which was no less impressive than the one in front of Li Lianting.
"This piece of music, 'Moon over the Border', perfectly suits the 'Zuozhenqin' in my hands. I'll let you share some ideas!"
"Haha, then you try it first." Li Lianting looked at Liu Xian calmly.
…
"Playing the formation harp?"
Zeng Anmin looked curiously at the piano in the boy's hand.
The whole body of the zither was black, but there was a gleam of light in the black. The overall lines were extremely smooth, and each string exuded a touch of luxury.
"The Liangyou Chamber of Commerce is indeed wealthy and powerful, and Liu Sanjiang is quite willing to support his Confucian and Taoist cultivation."
The prince was very close to Zeng Anmin. He looked at the "Zuozhen Qin" with a look of regret on his face.
The voice sounded slowly.
Zeng Anmin frowned when he heard this. He looked at the prince and asked
"Liu Sanjiang? Liangyou Chamber of Commerce? He's Liu Sanjiang's son?"
"Yeah." The prince nodded slightly.
Zeng Anmin looked at Liu Xian.
A sentence slowly emerged in my mind.
"With only the Ministry of Revenue's accounts, and no Good Friend Chamber of Commerce accounts to compare them to, how can they be trusted?"
This is exactly what my father said to Minister Lou yesterday.
The sunlight shines on Zeng Anmin's face.
Then he looked at Liu Xian with eyes that became brighter and brighter...
