Chapter 453 Banquet Magic Harp

"The second prince has a heart. Today's palace banquet is just a private banquet. The Ai family is very happy that you can come." Although Queen Min was angry in her heart, she still had a kind face on her face.

Empress Min and Crown Prince Li Cheng were 50% similar in appearance, ordinary in appearance, but not bad in appearance, obviously cultivated by years of court life.

Empress Min can stand in the harem for many years without falling, which is more extraordinary than Empress Li of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

She then looked at the two distinguished guests of Emperor Hongcheng, held Xuan Meimei with a kind face, and looked up and down: "You are Meimei, you really live up to your name, and your appearance and figure are comparable to your mother's." , even more outstanding."

Empress Min had a clear mind and had already guessed what Prince Li Cheng meant.

If it had been earlier, Queen Min would have looked down on Xuan Meimei's background, after all, Xuan Meimei was not born in the royal family, and her identity was always out of the question.

But now that Xuan Wuji is dead, Mrs. Bi's downfall is inevitable, and Xuan Meimei's identity is also different.

Empress Min and Mrs. Rou had met once, and she knew that although Mrs. Rou was not the real wife, she was more aristocratic than the jealous Mrs. Bi. A daughter brought up by such a woman would not be so bad. go.

Xuan Meimei didn't like Prince Li Cheng, and she didn't even like Empress Min, so she responded a few times lukewarmly.

Seeing Xuan Meimei's indifferent face, Queen Min seemed to have guessed something, she didn't blame Xuan Meimei, she looked at the few men sitting beside her.

Prince Li Cheng's status is the most noble, but standing with Yuan Bupo and Li Shao, he is inconspicuous.

"The Ai family has been a vegetarian for many years, and the dishes they prepare are all vegetarian dishes. If they don't suit the tastes of young people like you, please don't be offended," Queen Min ordered the maid to prepare the dishes.

The dishes prepared by Empress Min were exquisite, and the wine prepared was also top-quality Tang wine, which tasted like honey and was very mellow. Even Xuan Meimei, who had never drank alcohol, could not help drinking until her cheeks turned red.

Li Shao was good at talking, and while talking and laughing, he told a lot of anecdotes about Tang Yuan's country, which made Xuan Meimei laugh non-stop.

In contrast, Prince Li Cheng was very stupid and didn't say a few words.

Yuan Bupo still had an absent-minded expression on his face, and without moving a few chopsticks, he drank the wine sullenly.

Empress Min watched from the side, secretly anxious for her son, if this continues, Xuan Meimei's thoughts will be taken away by Li Shao.

Just at this time the second prince Li Shao talked about a happy event, Xuan Meimei laughed so hard that her flowers trembled.

"Cheng'er," Empress Min frowned, and glanced at her son, "Didn't you learn the art of piano for a while, I heard that Meimei is quite accomplished in piano art, why don't you ask Meimei to teach you?"

The prince Li Cheng also saw that the second prince Li Shao and Xuan Meimei had a good discussion, and was feeling annoyed.

When Empress Min reminded him, the second prince and Xuan Meimei both looked at Li Cheng, and even Yuan Bupo stopped drinking.

"Oh, His Majesty the Crown Prince can still play the piano?" Xuan Meimei's wonderful eyes were even more attractive under the illumination of the palace lanterns.

Li Cheng swallowed his saliva, thinking to show off in front of Xuan Meimei, he hurriedly got up, "It's just a few years in elementary school, since the queen mother said it, then I will make a fool of myself."

He ordered the court lady to deliver the qin and set up the censer.

Prince Li Cheng is far behind Li Shao in terms of magician cultivation. Li Shao is a student of the mainland magic elite camp, while Li Cheng is only a master of magic at the age of twenty.

But he was fond of music when he was young, and he worshiped a famous court musician as a teacher since he was a child, and studied piano for fifteen years. Empress Min said that he was just getting involved in piano art, but he was modest.

Emperor Hongcheng is famous for its ancient battle songs. Xuan Meimei and Yuan Bupo are both proficient in rhythm. They didn't like Li Cheng at first, but they heard that he was good at playing piano, so they looked at him with softer eyes.

How could Li Cheng not know that this was an opportunity for his mother to show off, so he took out his qin, which was a white jade qin.

Green smoke curled up from the incense burner, reflecting the qin even more beautifully.

"Huh, this is the famous magic qin, Xuege?" Xuan Meimei's expression changed slightly when she saw Prince Li Cheng take out the qin.

There are several famous zithers on the mainland, the most famous of which is the Xuanyuan Jiulong qin used by the first Emperor Hongcheng lord.

There are also several famous pianos, among which is "Xuege". The special feature of this piano is that its body is not made with traditional techniques.

Ordinary pianos are made of wood or monster bones, and special ones are made of jade or metal, but the "Snow Song" is made of a piece of thousand-year-old ice under the glacier sea. make.

After the ice was accidentally salvaged by a local fisherman, it was transferred to Tangyuan.

Tang Yuan's magicians spent three years and exhausted all kinds of methods but failed to melt or carve out this thousand-year-old piece of ice.

In the end, a female magician from Xianju Kingdom used a special refining method to refine this violin.

Later, "Snow Song" was bought at a high price, and I don't know how many owners it changed. Until more than 300 years ago, a magician who was proficient in music theory used "Snow Song" to play on June Day. It's snowing all over the sky.

"Snow Song" is also named after this.

"Wouldn't you think there is such a piano in the world? Prince, you play a piece, I want to see if it can be like the legend, the sky is full of snow?" Xuan Meimei is a woman, and women's hearsay is like a mythical legend , the most superstitious.

It's only the end of September now, and it would be really weird if there was a sudden snowfall.

When Li Cheng heard it, he secretly yelled badly, he had just acquired this "Xuege", and his original intention was to show off in front of Xuan Meimei, but he didn't know that it was self-defeating.

Whether "Snow Song" can play flying snow is still unknown.

Anyway, after the prince got the piano, he played it three or four times, nothing special.

With his piano skills, don't say he can play June Feixue, even if he can't play a single snowflake.

But if he couldn't play it, wouldn't it be that he would win the beauty's heart at that time, and his thoughts of trying to please Xuan Meimei would be in vain.

Li Shao could see the prince's embarrassment.

His big brother, to put it bluntly, is an idiot.

"Brother Huang, then you should have a good talk and don't take away Miss Xuan's kindness." Li Shao's eyebrows were full of teasing, Li Cheng gritted his teeth with hatred, and Empress Min on the side also looked helpless .

Yuan Bupo saw the open and secret struggle between the two, and shook his head in his heart. It's a pity that he was ruined by this group of people who don't understand music.

Yuan Bupo could see all the Prince's intention to please, he had no interest in these royal battles, but when he thought that the attack this time was probably caused by Li Shao, he became angry for a while.

"If the prince does not dislike it, I am willing to play the flute with the prince. I wonder what the prince thinks?" Yuan Bupo's proposal made the prince heave a sigh of relief.
