This prince is going to heaven

Chapter 540 New Year's Eve

Thirty of the twelfth lunar month.

Ever since Wen Ruyan knew that she was going to Jingzhou, she had been living a life of drunkenness these past few days, drinking and chatting with Yang Ping, Su Bai and others during the day, and returning home at night
Nearly ten days later, Wen Ruyan supported her waist, and she was a little unsteady when she stood.

Forehead kidney ah~~~
New Year's Eve night.

In the main hall of the imperial palace, it was a very lively scene.

All the civil and military officials were already in line, kneeling and sitting in their seats, and the exquisite dishes were gently placed in front of the tables of the adults like flowing water by the maids.

Zhou Tianzi and the current empress sat on the high platform, and the two brothers Wen Ruyu and Wen Ruyan sat on the lower and left sides.

After all the officials knelt down and bowed to the Emperor Zhou and the Empress, a beautiful performance sounded in the hall.

Eighteen kinds of musical instruments, such as chime bells, chime chimes, Jiangu, Jue, Yan, Hui, etc., are combined together, and the melodious sounds are lingering, lingering around the beam for three days without stopping.

In the center of the hall, a group of beautiful women in fluttering clothes danced to the rhythm.

Everyone in the whole hall watched the dance in the field, and sometimes commented on the people next to them, with smiles on their faces.

Such a lively and extraordinary scene is probably only once a year!

After the song was over, after the group of women retreated, Zhou Tianzi raised his glass and said loudly to the officials in the audience: "I respect you all!"

All civil and military officials raised their wine glasses in fear and trepidation, and shouted in unison: "I am ashamed!"

After speaking, everyone drank it all in one gulp!

After drinking for three rounds, Emperor Zhou smiled and said: "Today is New Year's Eve, everyone, don't be restrained, just drink freely, good wine, I have enough!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Immediately, there was the sound of clinking cups of wine in the whole hall, and the neighbors raised their glasses frequently, laughing and talking while drinking.

But amidst the bustle, I suddenly heard a big man coming out of the line, saluting to the Emperor Zhou: "I heard that His Royal Highness Prince Jing is proficient in rhythm. On this day of national celebration, I dare to ask His Royal Highness Prince Jing to Play a song for me, let me see it?"

As soon as he said these words, there was a burst of fanatical discussion in the hall.

"My minister agrees!"

"My minister agrees!"

"My minister agrees!"

Seeing the enthusiasm of everyone in the audience, Zhou Tianzi looked at Wen Ruyan with a smile, and said, "Since your lords are so sincerely inviting, why don't you play a song?"

Wen Ruyan, who was sitting there drinking, saw their sudden behavior, and a wry smile appeared on his face.

My grass grows and the warbler flies in February.

How come it's all about me?
Seeing Zhou Tianzi looking at him with a smile on his face, and everyone in the audience staring at him with burning eyes, Wen Ruyan was helpless in the end, so he had to stand up and salute Zhou Tianzi, and then turned to everyone in the audience. The official cupped his hands and said: "Then the king will show his shame!"

At that time, Tianzi Zhou waved his hand and said directly: "Come here, bring me my cold jade from the autumn pond!"

Eunuch Cheng quickly bowed his head and stepped back. Not long after, he hugged an antique Guqin with a bit of classical flavor.

Wen Ruyan took it, and then nodded to the officials in the audience, then sat down, placed the guqin in front of him, and placed his hands on it gently.

As soon as he made this posture, everyone in the audience fell silent.

A gust of wind blew in from the door, gently blowing the hair on Wen Ruyan's forehead.

Zheng~
Wen Ruyan plucked the strings lightly, and a melodious sound came out.

After that, he moved his fingers, and the vivid and lively piano sound came out from between his fingers like a trickle of water.

Guangling San!
After many days, Wen Ruyan once again dedicated this piece of music to the world.

His piano skills are already superb, coupled with the uniqueness of this piece of music, he has amazed everyone in the audience in just a few breaths of time.

Especially Prime Minister Su Dinghe, he is also a person who loves the piano, now he has closed his eyes when he heard the piece played by Wen Ruyan, as if he was immersed in that world.

One song is over.

The audience fell into a strange silence at first, and after a while, Su Dinghe opened his eyes and clapped his palms lightly!
As soon as he took the lead, everyone immediately reacted and clapped their hands in applause. The voice was so loud that it seemed that the entire roof was going to be lifted.

"it is good!"

"This song should only exist in the sky, how many times can we hear it in the world? Good!"

"His Royal Highness Prince Jing is really extraordinary. How many people in this world can compare to this song alone?"

"The Prime Minister is also a person who loves the piano. I don't know if you can play this piece of music?"

Su Dinghe smiled wryly, and said: "Compared with His Highness, I seem to have lived for more than 40 years in vain. Not to mention being better than him, even if I can get three points from His Highness, I will be proud enough!"

Hearing that Su Dinghe had given Wen Ruyan such a high evaluation, everyone was shocked again!
Seeing her emperor's astonishment, the empress also looked at Zhou Tianzi with a smile on her face, but her eyes were self-evident!
The official who first stood up to invite Wen Ruyan to play the piano stood up again, bowed respectfully to Wen Ruyan and said, "Your Highness is superb at playing the piano, I admire you!"

Wen Ruyan got up to return the salute, and said with a smile, "Lord Zhao is absurd."

And after Mr. Zhao stepped back, before Wen Ruyan sat down, another official stood up and bowed his hands to him and said: "Your Highness has a piece of music that I admire, but I also heard that His Highness is not only proficient in rhythm, Literary talent is unrivaled in the world, today I have the courage to have a few couplets with His Highness, I wonder if His Highness would like to enlighten me?"

Wen Ruyan was stunned for a moment, then turned his head to focus on Zhou Tianzi and Wen Ruyu.

I saw the two of them sitting there holding their wine glasses lightly, with smiles on their faces.

Wen Ruyan understood at that time.

These two officials, are they probably the babysitters they arranged in advance?
Deliberately let yourself show your hand in front of everyone to frighten all civil and military officials, and then lay the groundwork for what you want to say next?

How insidious!

But they didn't notify themselves in advance, and they didn't let themselves prepare in advance. Aren't they afraid of losing face in front of so many people?Or do they just trust themselves so much?
Wen Ruyan smiled wryly again. Seeing that Mr. Sun looked at him eagerly, he could only cup his hands and say, "Please enlighten Mr. Sun!"

There was another burst of frantic shouts in the hall!
To be honest, now that Wen Ruyan's reputation has spread all over the world, outsiders have extremely good evaluations of him, but in the final analysis, they have only heard of it, not seen it.

All I know is that he has excellent martial arts skills, but as for his literary talents, all the civil servants present were not very convinced.

I have worked hard for decades to achieve this achievement. How can they believe that a young man who is only in his twenties can surpass them in literary attainments?

Seeing Master Sun standing up to provoke at this moment, they are all ready to watch the show.

Mr. Sun is very good at pairing. If the upper couplet he made is too difficult, His Royal Highness Prince Jing will not be able to make it right, but he just gave the second couplet. Doesn't it prove that his literary attainments are not enough? higher than him?
Thinking of this, a glimmer of hope appeared on the faces of many people present.
