The Great Tang: World Martial God
Chapter 81
"See your majesty."
"Meet the queen."
"Meet your royal highness."
All the people shouted in unison and paid homage.
With a smiling face, empress Chang sun helped King Tang slowly into the hall.
The king of the Tang Dynasty, Long Yan, was in a good mood and said.
"Today is Princess Fangchen. It''s a family banquet. You don''t have to be polite. Flat yourself."
After that, she sat down at the first seat in the hall. Princess Changle and empress changsun sat next to the king of Tang respectively.
I thank you for taking your seat.
Princess Fangchen, of course, must present gifts to celebrate her birthday.
"The king of Huai''an presents a pair of jade Ruyi..."
"Duke Xu presented a Golden Fox fur."
"Princess Nanyang offered a five foot coral tree..."
With the eunuch''s loud reading, princes and ministers presented birthday gifts one after another according to their status and position.
Which of these Royal relatives and relatives is not the master of wealth, and this time, Princess Fangchen of Changle, who is a golden body, naturally took out her best things and went to set up a princess to be happy. Maybe the Pearl in your Majesty''s eyes will be happy, get a promotion and get your Majesty''s care, which is naturally excellent.
In a moment, a gift table in front of me was piled up like a mountain, full of rare treasures.
The king of Tang looked at the priceless treasures given to his daughter by the ministers in front of him, and was naturally in a happy mood.
The eldest Sun Queen took her daughter''s hand and asked her daughter if she had anything she liked, instead of pointing to the gifts offered.
For Princess Changle, Fangchen has to live once a year. She has seen these treasures countless times. She doesn''t think there is much rarity. Her face is calm and can''t see a trace of joy.
Zhao Li walked slowly to the hall, half knelt on the ground, held up a black burden with both hands and said slowly.
"Wei minister Zhao Li, entrusted by his eldest brother Yin SA, presented a Jiao Weiqin."
As soon as the voice fell, a ripple appeared on Princess Changle''s calm face and a touch of joy flashed in her eyes.
"Bring it and let me see."
The eunuch in the hall came to Zhao Li and gently unfolded the package. An ancient and exquisite piano gradually showed its true face. The eunuch carefully picked up the piano and handed it to Princess Changle.
Princess Changle is in the palace. She doesn''t understand the truth of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. In particular, this line of music is one of the few music experts in the palace.
Those who understand the rhythm naturally study this instrument.
Holding the strings and touching the simple body, Princess Changle flashed a touch of excitement in her eyes and looked up at Zhao Lidao in the hall.
"Zhao Li, I don''t think the stringed silk of this piano is an imitation. Is it true that this Jiaowei piano is genuine?"
Zhao Li swept a trace of pride from the corner of his mouth and immediately stood up and said in a loud voice.
"Princess Royal Highness, this is the creation of Cai Yong in the Eastern Han Dynasty. My eldest brother, even the Royal Highness, liked piano music, and was looking for it when he was idle. After a year''s search, he found the coke tail piano."
"Just because there was something in the house, elder brother Yin SA couldn''t come to celebrate his birthday. I specially urged you to bring the Qin to your highness. I wish your highness eternal youth and unchanged appearance."
This speech exclaimed that he had been prepared in advance, and put all the credit on Yan SA. In short, he wanted to win the favor of Princess Changle to Yan SA with this piano.
In the hall, the loud voice floated in everyone''s ears.
There were also many princes and nobles who were proficient in musical instruments. When they knew the origin of the piano, they couldn''t help but marvel. But there are still many people with a blank face who don''t know what''s strange about the piano.
Empress Chang sun is a famous girl. She taught her daughter''s piano skills. She explained the origin of Jiao Weiqin.
"Cai Yong is a music master, who is proficient in the piano, and once he had to grab a section of Wutong wood that was not burned out and had abnormal timbre, and made the wood into a lyre, and the sound quality was very empty, such as orchid fragrance, like the sounds of nature."
"As soon as the piano was born, there were many imitations, but it was difficult to reach the level of genuine products in terms of timbre and workmanship. During the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were constant wars, and the piano disappeared in the continuous war. Unexpectedly, you found it and it was not easy to face it!"
Next to Princess Changle, she couldn''t let go of Jiao Weiqin. Her eyes hadn''t left since she saw Qin. Said without raising his head.
"Zhao Li, this generous gift from your eldest brother is unique. I like it very much. Yan SA has a heart."
The king of Tang Dynasty looked at Princess Changle touching the piano and said happily.
"The Qin is the king of the Qin. The Yan family has this idea. It''s very good!"
Even the king of the Tang Dynasty was full of praise. Zhao Li felt very honored and could not hide the joy on his face.
"If you can please your highness, everything the Yan family did is worth it."
Yan Kaishan, sitting on one side of the hall, saw the king of the Tang family smiling and felt more proud, stroking his beard and smiling.
All the people''s gifts have ended, and there is only one person in the hall who did not offer gifts, that is Tang Hao.
Li Wanqing suddenly woke up, pulled Tang Hao''s clothes and said softly.
"You... You are empty handed? But you forgot to bring this birthday gift?"
Tang Hao had expected that Princess Changle was well-informed and had no feelings for this rare treasure. Even if he moved the Li house empty, he might not be able to make the princess laugh, so he didn''t prepare these vulgar things.
Seeing that Tang Hao didn''t answer, Li Wanqing was immediately embarrassed and said.
"Princess Fangchen, this is a big event. Now there are so many princes and ministers in the hall. If they know that we come empty handed, wouldn''t it be a laughing stock?"
