Chapter 44 The Emperor's Marriage
Murong Linfeng is a middle-aged man who knows what to do, who can adapt to the situation. He always has a smile on his face. He talks to people when he sees them, and he talks nonsense when he sees them. He will say nice things according to the other person's preferences.

The group of them arrived in Kyoto three days ahead of schedule, and when they arrived, they had an audience with the emperor and presented tribute with a respectful and humble attitude.

At the birthday banquet, the emperor sat on the north-south seat in awe, and the empress dowagers sat on the lower heads on both sides of him.Immediately after were the eldest prince Gao Qixun and Shuo Wang Gao Qiji.

Gao Qiyuan, Concubine Kang, Concubine Xian, and some unknown concubines all sat in order according to their positions.

The envoys from all over the world took their seats one after the other, Tang Feiyang, the envoy of Chu State, unceremoniously sat at the head of the guests, and Shen Boyu had no choice but to sit beside him.

Murong Linfeng of Xia Kingdom and the others sat humbly at the bottom.

The weather was hot, fearing that the queen mother's body would not be able to bear it, Li Siqi kept an eye on her physical condition not far away, in case of accidents.

The whole banquet was filled with toasts, dances and dances, and a peaceful atmosphere.

After drinking for three rounds, someone proposed to see Xia Guo and his princess Shangguan Yunwan's immortal appearance, and the emperor readily agreed.

Everyone saw a graceful woman, covered with a light veil and black silk dyed in ink, walking slowly like a fairy or a spirit from a dream.

She wore a white gauze dress with a very low neckline, her skin was as snowy as snow, her plump breasts were slightly exposed, her eyebrows were like willows, and her eyes, which were more charming than peach blossoms, were very attractive.

The breeze blew, lifted a corner of the veil, her cherry lips fluttered lightly, she was so charming, what a charming woman!

Shangguan Yunwan moved lightly to the hall with lotus steps, bowed her knees and bowed gracefully, "Shangguan Yunwan sees the emperor, I wish my emperor a healthy body and a long life!"

The emperor looked at her and said with a smile: "The beauty of Yunwan is famous all over the world. All the nobles want to see it. Would you like it?"

Shangguan Yunwan has an elegant posture, with a smile on her face, "Why not, but Yunwan would like to perform a dance for the emperor first, please grant me your permission."

The emperor clapped his hands and laughed, "Yes!"

Shangguan Yun Wan leaned over to thank her, and said again: "Your Majesty, Yun Wan has a request. I heard that the sound of King Shuo's flute is like the sound of heaven. Today is the birthday of the Holy One. May I ask King Shuo to accompany you?"

Following Shangguan Yunwan's gaze, everyone's attention fell on Gao Qiji, and the emperor also looked directly at him with a questioning expression.

Gao Qiji turned his head to Gai Feng who was beside him, and the latter hurried away.

He got up and left the table, strode into the hall, bowed to the emperor, and said: "Father's birthday, I will take this opportunity to play a song for you, just to cheer you up."

The emperor nodded happily, "Okay!"

At this moment, Haifeng found a flute from somewhere, and handed it over respectfully.

Gao Qiji took it, holding the flute and waiting for Shangguan Yunwan to choose the song.

Shangguan Yunwan looked at Gao Qiji with burning eyes, "My lord, just play the song "Ripples of Life"."

Gao Qiji was startled when he heard this, and frowned slightly. He had only played this piece two or three times, and it was still at the frontier, so I don't know why she chose this one.

Just stunned for a moment, Gao Qiji put his flute on his lips, faced Shangguan Yunwan, and nodded slightly to signal the beginning.

The melodious sound of flute rose lightly, and the beautiful girl in white gauze danced like a fairy, blooming like an orchid in an empty valley.

With her light, graceful and erratic dancing posture, the wide gauze and wide sleeves are opened and closed to cover her, which further highlights her various demeanor.

Everyone looked at her graceful dance in fascination, and almost forgot to breathe.

The girl's beautiful eyes looked forward to her, and she smiled sweetly. Everyone present was so excited, as if their souls had been taken away, and they were immersed in the boundless beauty.

In an instant, the sound of the flute suddenly changed, and the girl used her right foot as the axis.Gently stretch the long sleeves, and the delicate body rotates accordingly, turning faster and faster.

Suddenly, he jumped up from the ground.The sleeves of the clothes fluttered, the veil was torn off, and the bare hands were thrown out, revealing a beautiful face, and then accompanied by the sound of the flute, the slender feet stopped and landed steadily, like a fairy descending to the earth.

At the end of the dance, there was thunderous applause in the hall, and the sound of astonishment and praise continued for a long time.

Li Siqi looked at the crowd in the hustle and bustle, Gao Qiji looked normal, Shangguan Yunwan had tears in her eyes, she took a sneaky glance at Gao Qiji, and quickly looked away.

The emperor was calm, and Gao Qixun watched Shangguan Yunwan quietly, with a gentle face and a trace of pity in his eyes.

Gao Qiyuan's expression was complicated, the empress dowager's eyes were worried, and the others were amazed, terrified, contemptuous, disdainful...all of them.

A group of people had different expressions and different thoughts, and their thoughts were turning back and forth, and they passed away in a daze.

After a while, the emperor laughed and said: "I haven't been so obsessed with dancing and listening to music for many years, and today I can see such exquisite dancing postures.
It's really rare to hear the sound of Ji'er's flute, which is not easy for others to play!reward!Everyone will be rewarded with a jade ruyi! "

Everyone cheered and cheered.

At this moment, Gao Qixun stood up with the wine in his hand, and said in a warm voice: "Father, we are able to feast our eyes and ears on the honor of your honor today.

My son is stupid and has no talent, so I will toast you with a glass of wine and compose a poem. I hope the emperor will not make fun of me. "

The emperor laughed heartily, and the creases on his face deepened a little, "You have always been stubborn, and it is rare that you can compose poems, let me recite them and listen to them."

Gao Qixun stood up straight, cleared his throat, and said loudly:
"The majestic China, the world is for the public
Celebrate with the whole world, sing me Qianlong

Child care, old age

The common people live in the quilt, but the grain does not live in insects

Kindness and generosity, grace and power

The four seas return to their hearts, and the fortune of the country is prosperous! "

The emperor frowned and stroked his beard, "Well, the rhyme is still suppressed overall, but there are two characters of 'Long', which are a bit repetitive, but the flaws are not hidden, and there is progress, which should be rewarded!"

Just as Gao Qixun sat down happily, waiting to be rewarded with jade, he heard the emperor's voice faintly: "Xun'er, if I remember correctly, you are already fifteen, right?"

Gao Qixun didn't expect the emperor to ask this question suddenly, and obediently nodded in response, "Yes, father, the birthday is in the first month."

The emperor looked at him, thought for a while, and nodded, "That's sixteen, it's time to start a family. You've all grown up, and I'm old too."

Gao Qixun was just about to say that his father is a dragon and a tiger among men, and he is in his prime, but he heard the emperor say again: "Shangguan Yunwan, with an orchid-like temperament, and a talent that is more than a fairy, I will bestow it on you as a side concubine!"

When Gao Qixun heard this, his face flushed red with anxiety, and he couldn't help but raise his voice a little, "Father, my son is still young, it won't be too late to wait another two years..."

"It's already passed Jiji, what's so young?" the emperor interrupted sharply.

"Yes, Xun'er, your father is as old as you already has a princess." The Queen Mother smoothed things over with a smile.

Gao Qixun scratched his head in a panic, and hurriedly explained: "Father, grandma, and sons and ministers still have a lot of unfinished business, and they don't care about love for children for the time being."

The emperor didn't listen to his rhetoric, and instead said: "As the saying goes, first get married and then start a career, and let go of everything first. Marrying a prince and concubine is more conducive to your success."

Gao Qixun hurriedly knelt on the ground and insisted: "My son thanked the emperor for his kindness, but..."

"By the way, everyone knows about Lu Wanwan, the prime minister's daughter. After all, she is a daughter, so it is rare for her to be so affectionate towards you.

Take this opportunity and marry her as your side concubine! "Before Gao Qixun finished speaking, the emperor interrupted again.

The last sentence was like a thunderbolt from the blue sky, which made Gao Qixun dizzy.

What a wave of ups and downs!
