At this time, people were crowding around the roadside and in the pavilions. When they saw Murong Fu, who was dressed in regular clothes, handsome in appearance, and with white hair on his temples that looked a bit melancholy, they suddenly burst into loud cheers. .
In particular, some women who had not yet left the court just glanced at him secretly with the doors and windows closed, and their eyes became crazy, their cheeks were dizzy, and they felt as if they were drinking mellow wine, and their hearts and souls were intoxicated.
But ordinary people saw Murong Fu's majestic appearance and handsome face, like a god descending to earth, and they all kowtowed and worshiped with great momentum.
Such a grand scene may not be possible even when an official travels, and Murong Fu was able to gain the support of so many people just by returning to Beijing, which was naturally inseparable from the deliberate efforts of the Shadow Tower.
In this information-deprived world, as long as Murong Fu can grasp the direction of public opinion, whatever he does in the future will be labeled as "a famous example". This will play a decisive role in his future restoration of the country.
Huizong was unaware of the public sentiment at the grassroots level, and was still putting on airs at this moment, waiting for Murong Fu's arrival in the palace.
But in order to show that he valued Murong Fu, he still sent hundreds of officials to greet him outside the city... ?.?????.???
Imperial Palace, inside the Changchun Hall.
The last time Murong Fu came to the Changchun Hall to attend a banquet, he was still in the identity of Li Yanzong, but unexpectedly, time passed and he would become the protagonist of the banquet in another identity and come here again.
When a group of people gathered in the main hall, as the sound of silk and bamboo pipe music sounded, Emperor Huizong slowly walked out from the back of the hall, with a smile in his eyes and looked at Murong Fu intently.
Murong Fu was calm and composed, and he, Han Zhongyan and others immediately bowed to greet him.
Huizong raised his hand slightly and said: "The King of Yan is exempt from courtesy, and all the ministers are safe!"
As everyone took their seats, Huizong also praised Murong Fu's achievements without hesitation.
"Today's banquet is just to welcome King Yan and wash away the dust. Let's wait until tomorrow to talk about rewards for merit!"
"Xiang Han, when the banquet is over, you will take Prince Yan to Prince Yan's Mansion to have a look. If there is anything you need, you can just ask me. I will answer everything!"
After three rounds of wine, Emperor Huizong felt free to express his feelings.
Although Murong Fu's fiefdom as a vassal king was not within the territory of the Song Dynasty, because he was a vassal king with a different surname, he would also have a palace in Bianjing.
"My lord, please bow down!"
Murong Fu walked up to the front of the hall and knelt down respectfully to Huizong to thank him for his grace to reassure him.
Huizong was very satisfied with Murong Fu's attitude. He exchanged glasses with him and drank a lot of fine wine to cheer him up.
At this time, the chamberlain whispered a few words in Huizong's ear. He, who was already a bit drunk in his eyes, couldn't help but pat his forehead and said, "Look at my memory, I almost forgot!"
"King Yan."
"I'm here!"
Murong Fu responded.
Huizong looked at him and said meaningfully: "After learning that King Yan is about to return to Beijing, Princess Xu intends to contribute a song for this feast. Speaking of which, you and I are really blessed!"
He is an arty person. Princess Xu's piano skills are unparalleled. Not to mention him, even when Emperor Zhezong was alive, he only had the honor to ask her to perform a piece of music when the Xixia envoys came to visit. Unexpectedly, this time because of the return of King Yan Beijing, the eldest princess took the initiative to request a song, which is unique!
Coupled with some rumors he had heard recently and what he saw on the Jinshui River Painting Boat, Huizong couldn't help but smell something unusual.
When Murong Fu heard this, he quickly pretended to be flattered and said: "The official family is very kind, and the humble ministers are also blessed by the official family."
Huizong couldn't help laughing, and then ordered people to invite the eldest princess.
Not long after, as the musicians played pure music, surrounded by several young palace ladies, a noble and elegant girl wearing a gorgeous brocade dress walked into the palace.
Murong Fu suddenly saw that the girl had a beautiful face, flushed cheeks, starry eyes, and beautiful appearance. She was really a stunning beauty.
Compared with the cute girl who was twelve or thirteen years old back then, she is now a slender and charming princess of a great country with good looks.
As soon as the eldest princess entered the Changchun Palace, she couldn't help but look towards the head of the palace. She soon noticed Murong Fu's gaze. Her eyes were shy and a little timid. She quickly lowered her head, not daring to Looking at each other, his heart was beating wildly, as if a deer was stumbling around, and he couldn't restrain himself for a long time.
Seeing the appearance of the eldest princess, and considering the recent rumors in the palace, the officials first bowed and saluted, and then couldn't help but look back and forth between her and Murong Fu, with an inexplicable look in their eyes.
"Meet the official!"
The eldest princess suppressed the throbbing in her heart and saluted Huizong.
Huizong was good at poetry, painting and calligraphy, and was naturally interested in music, so he couldn't wait to let the eldest princess play a song.
The eldest princess was playing the piano with her bare hands. From the corner of her eye, she couldn't help but glance at Murong Fu who was standing aside. The cowardice in her eyes suddenly became firm. She took a long breath, and after she calmed down, she couldn't help but glance at Han Zhongyan.
The latter stroked his beard, smiled slightly, and nodded imperceptibly.
Seeing this situation, the eldest princess was completely relieved. As she plucked the strings with her fingertips, a clang sounded immediately, and the sweet sound of the piano echoed throughout the hall, lasting for a long time.
At this time, regardless of whether people understand music or not, they can clearly distinguish the sound of the eldest princess's piano from the music of the palace musicians.
Even if you can't integrate into the artistic conception of the music, you can still listen to the sound of the piano and refresh your ears, making you feel refreshed physically and mentally.
I just feel the beauty of music, nothing more than that!
And some people who knew the music opened their eyes one after another when the music gradually became better, and looked at the eldest princess in surprise.
Even Huizong couldn't help but stare at the eldest princess, with a genuine expression on her face.
Murong Fu held the wine glass in his hand and turned it slightly, closing his eyes, as if he had caught a glimpse of the artistic conception of the song, with a look of peace on his face.
I don’t know how long it took, but the music gradually slowed down, and finally everything fell silent.
The ministers who were immersed in the beauty of the music and almost wanted to cheer, but after subconsciously looking at the officials and Han Zhongyan who looked wrong, they hurriedly stopped the sound they were about to exhale, covered their mouths and lowered their heads!
Murong Fu slowly opened his eyes and looked at the other person without speaking.
Huizong also sat up slightly, and the hazy drunkenness in his eyes disappeared.
Just when the atmosphere was getting tense, Han Zhongyan straightened his expression and stood up and said: "The eldest princess uses the piano to convey meanings. The sound of the piano in "Phoenix Seeking the Phoenix" is gentle and elegant, like drizzle, and the gurgling charm is really fascinating. There are thousands of words that people can talk about, but it’s hard to say them all! It’s a masterpiece!”
Baiguan, who didn't know why the atmosphere was so solemn at first, immediately understood what was going on after learning that the song was called "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix"!
When Huizong saw Han Zhongyan coming out to smooth things over, he ignored him. Instead, he looked at Murong Fu and asked, "How does King Yan think the eldest princess plays this piece?"
Murong Fu's expression remained unchanged, and he had already made plans in his mind.
