The home venue for this finale performance is still at the Yu Family, or to be more precise, at the Royal Palace.
Princess Yutong is from the royal family, and the Meng Hu Sect's conspiracy must be based on her, so Xie Yuanqian must come into contact with her.
How can Xie Yuanqian successfully meet Princess Yutong? Does he still have a back-up plan in the capital?
Of course! He also has a slightly famous identity in the capital - the guest minister of Yuyin Palace.
After Shen Xianya married into the palace, Xie Yuanqian chose to work alone. With Blue Star's excellent ancient poetry culture, it would be easy for him to get a guest position in Yuyin Palace. Moreover, Xie Yuanqian's compositions have become popular among the people as soon as they are sung, and many musicians have been familiar with them for a long time.
It's just that this kind of publicity is not conducive to lying down, so he is not very productive. He only occasionally performs music to maintain his status as a guest guest.
Today, the identity of this famous songwriter comes in handy.
At the marriage ceremony between the Menghu Sect and the Yu family, song and dance performances were definitely indispensable, and since Xie Yuanqian was a guest of the Yuyin Palace, it was quite natural for him to enter and leave the palace in the name of arranging repertoire.
The Yuyin Hall is the highest palace of Yuguo music, and countless music cultivators aim to work here.
After many days, Xie Yuanqian came here again. The hall was still as brightly lit as before, the sound of silk and bamboo could be heard endlessly, and the hall was filled with the faint smell of incense.
Seeing that it was Mr. Shi Kuang who had arrived, the reception servants at Yuyin Palace immediately stepped forward to greet him.
"Mr. Shi Kuang, please take a seat. I will report to the palace master right away."
Xie Yuanqian responded calmly,
"good!"
Xie Yuanqian is also very pretentious. He is here under the name of Shi Kuang, a famous ancient musician in his previous life. The music he composed (copied, not) is also quite accomplished by Yangchun Baixue, and the entire Yuyin Palace is impressed by it.
The master of the Yuyin Hall was even more fond of him and often invited him as a guest. If Xie Yuanqian had not deliberately kept a low profile, he would have been invited to worship him in the Yuyin Hall.
The guests at the table were treated with the highest standards. The royal scented tea was brewed by a young and beautiful tea master and served respectfully to Xie Yuanqian.
The tea was clear and fragrant. Xie Yuanqian took a sip of the scented tea, and a fragrance flowed down his mouth and entered Xie Yuanqian's orifices.
Mmm ~ good tea!
Not long after, a middle-aged man with an elegant air came rushing over.
He looks quite handsome, with an impatient smile on his face. His green shirt and thin coat make him even more elegant, and his whole person exudes a gentle and jade-like temperament.
"I hope for the stars and the moon, and finally my husband is here!"
Xie Yuanqian looked apologetic and said,
"This is an eventful time. I am busy with my livelihood, but I have kept the palace master waiting for a long time."
The master of the palace scolded him a little and expressed his love for talents,
"I told you a long time ago that sir, come directly to my Yuyin Palace to serve as a worshipper. I will ensure that you have no worries about food and clothing, and peace and happiness!"
However, Xie Yuanqian still resisted and explained the purpose of his trip.
"Thank you very much for your kindness, Lord of the Palace. It's just that I'm in the lower mountains of Xingbenqiu and it's difficult to do anything on the high mountains. So I'd better give it up. I'm here to present a song for Princess Yutong's wedding, and I'd like to ask the Lord of the Palace to take a look at it."
The palace master took the score and read it carefully. Gradually, his eyes brightened, sparkling with excitement and appreciation.
This piece of music not only has elegant words and beautiful melody, but also has an indescribable charm in it.
"Good! Good! Good! What a great song! Ingenious in conception, elegant in melody, and as always a master's work!"
No, this is a magically modified version of "Feng Qiu Huang", and the original text is a masterpiece that will last forever.
But after the excitement, the master of Yuyin Palace showed an angry look, which made Xie Yuanqian very confused.
The reaction in the first half was the same as before, but why did it change in the second half?
"What? But is there anything wrong with the lyrics and music?"
The palace master smiled bitterly and said,
"The lyrics and music are all excellent, but it's so sad that such a good piece of music has to serve as a foil for the unlearned and unskilled Meng Xianglong!"
coming! This is exactly the information Xie Yuanqian wants to know.
It is said that Meng Xianglong has been living in the Yu family since he came to the capital. He never leaves the front door or steps out of the door, just like a young lady in a boudoir.
The outside world doesn't even know his appearance except his name, which is very strange.
Xie Yuanqian was at a loss after learning this information:
This is too un-demonic. Doesn’t it mean that the villains are all crazy and high-profile? Why is it that when I come here, everyone is like Lao Yin? It’s so difficult to deal with.
Xie Yuanqian asked tentatively,
"I heard that Meng Xianglong is also a genius with a century-old golden elixir. Is he a playboy?"
Speaking of this, we have to blame Xie Yuanqian himself. The story novels and many famous songs he published before (plagiarized) made the entertainment life of Yu Kingdom suddenly rich and colorful. Meng Xianglong planned that Yu Yuansheng, the head of the Yu family, would cover this. You don’t have to do the most important thing yourself, so you can enjoy yourself and give orders in the residence prepared by the Yu family. It’s very pleasant.
Compared to Xie Yuanqian, who lay down so carefully and survived, Meng Xianglong was obviously much happier.
The palace master who was ordered to arrange music and dance for Meng Xianglong did know some inside information through the feedback from the musicians.
"So what if he is a genius in monasticism? This man is ignorant, and all the music he composed has been devalued by him as worthless. It is really infuriating! What is even more frightening is that it is said that this man is crazy and kills people for fun from time to time. Some of his servants are inexplicable. He disappeared, and even the female official sent by the Yu family to try out the marriage was killed by him, what a devil!"
After saying that, the palace master raised the cup of tea and drank it all in one gulp, as if what was in the cup was not tea, but the blood of Meng Xianglong's evil villain.
This caught Xie Yuanqian's attention. It doesn't matter if he can't appreciate these music. After all, hundreds of people have different tastes. But the servant who disappeared inexplicably is very strange, especially the female official who killed the trial marriage. Meng Xianglong came to get married, why? What about killing the female official in trial marriage?
Is it because he is not good at that? Or is there something wrong with that female officer?
This was obviously a key piece of information, and Xie Yuanqian took it down.
This time he came to Yuyin Palace for another purpose, which was to meet Princess Yutong.
After Xie Yuanqian personally served the palace master a cup of scented tea, he changed the topic to Princess Yutong.
"Then I ask the palace master to keep this song and put it down. This person is so violent and does not deserve this song! It is a pity that the princess has such an unjust marriage, how can she live well?!"
Princess Yutong also learned etiquette and music from him, and she was considered to be his half-disciple. However, such an outstanding beauty had to devote herself to the country through marriage. The palace master was also very sorry.
"Alas~, who says it's not the case? It's just that the head of the Yu family tried his best to make things happen. How can we, the servants, comment on it?"
Xie Yuanqian obtained another key piece of information. The head of the Yu family tried his best to promote the marriage. The Meng Hu clan's betrothal gift must have been traded with him. There must be something fishy about this person.
Xie Yuanqian also pretended to hate the sky and complained,
"Alas, I always regret that I am unable to achieve my goals, and I only try to find peace with happiness! God is acting arrogantly!"
Although Xie Yuanqian's words were full of true feelings, such words should not be heard by anyone with a heart. The palace master quickly reminded,
"Sir, you are such a sweet-tempered person! It's just that it's better to restrain yourself from such disrespectful remarks."
Seeing that the atmosphere had reached this point, Xie Yuanqian said even more emotionally,
"The world has a lot of criticism about the marriage, and the city is even more noisy. I am just following what others say, and even if people listen to it, it will just increase the rumors. It's just a pity that the princess has worked hard for the Yu Kingdom. The result is a marriage."
After saying that, he took a big sip of tea, as if he wanted to use tea instead of wine to swallow the grievance in his chest. The palace master also added a cup of tea for him, and the two of them drank tea in silence without saying a word.
At this time, silence is better than sound, and the breath disperses with the fragrance.
After a moment of silence, the palace master suggested,
"Sir, you are very knowledgeable and talented. Why don't you compose a song for Her Royal Highness the Princess to be sung all over the world to comfort the Princess and the common people."
Hearing this, Xie Yuanqian put down the cup in his hand and chanted softly,
"I have thought about what the Palace Master said, but I am afraid that I am weak-minded."
The palace master also put down his tea cup and asked puzzledly,
"Why is this? I heard that the meaning of red phoenix in "Feng Qiu Huang" is very proud, so it is very suitable to use it as a metaphor for His Highness Yutong."
Xie Yuanqian explained with hidden motives,
"The song I am dedicating today is because I have been in love with the princess for a long time, and my admiration for her is revealed in my blessing. I didn't know much about Meng Xianglong before, but now I know that the princess married an inhumane, and I can't calm down. How can I compose a good piece of music based on imagination alone, and if it is not a good piece of music, how can it be worthy of Her Royal Highness the Princess!"
After saying that, Xie Yuanqian drank another cup of tea angrily, as if venting his incompetence.
Although Yuyin Palace's tea was good, the taste was a bit bland, so he took out a pot of wine from his storage bag, filled a cup for himself, drank it all in one gulp, and let out a sigh of regret.
"Princess Yutong saved the country and the people and was a genius in cultivation. Now she has to commit herself to the Demon Sect. It is really a misfortune for our country, Yu!"
The master of the Yuyin Hall thought for a while, Meng Hu Sect was powerful after all, and the principle was such a dead truth, the weak and the strong preyed on the weak, and the will was powerless.
So he also had a drink, and then the two of them started to exchange glasses, making the atmosphere lively and even calling them brothers.
Only when the incense ashes filled the copper house and the hall master's face was slightly drunk did Xie Yuanqian begin to reveal his true intentions.
The wine he took out was not brewed by the ancient method in this world, but a special spirit that was distilled and mixed. Even a monk would not be able to withstand the power of three glasses of wine if he did not deliberately control his alcohol intake.
The information that he could see the princess through Yuyin Palace was given by Hanmei. Xie Yuanqian just wanted to lie down and not create more complications, so he didn't know much about the officialdom of Yu Kingdom.
Due to the existence of Xiu Xian Dao, the official structure of the Yu Kingdom is similar to that of the previous dynasty. The Yu Emperor is the nominal emperor, responsible for the daily affairs of the Yu Kingdom, and is assigned by the Yu family; under him are the six departments of Huli Bingxinggongku, responsible for coordination Handle various matters.
There is no official department among the six ministries, and the official positions in the court are all controlled by the Immortal Family. Whoever is stronger will have the official position, and there is no term of office. They will also follow their nepotism for all the big and small official positions. As long as the stability of the Yu Kingdom is maintained, they can do whatever they want. Whatever you do.
Yuyin Palace is a subordinate organization of the Ministry of Rites, and the current palace owner is the younger brother of the Minister of Rites. His family has been in charge of the Ministry of Rites for more than 150 years. He is responsible for the formalities of Princess Yutong's wedding.
Xie Yuanqian worked step by step, singing songs, chatting, and lamenting. Until the last step, the whole plan went naturally and came to fruition.
He first used the song to complain about his dissatisfaction with the marriage, and then praised the princess for her dedication and feelings of being let down. He even expressed his admiration for the princess through the song. The palace master was moved by his true feelings and suggested that he compose a song for the princess to comfort her. However, Xie Yuanqian declined on the grounds of being disillusioned, and then pretended to be drunk to vent his incompetence and arouse the resonance of the palace master, in order to gain the opportunity to meet the princess.
Xie Yuanqian's face was red and his drunkenness was obvious. He stood up unsteadily with the wine jar and supported the wall, jokingly saying, half crazy and half crazy,
"Wu,,,wu, brother Wu! Little brother, I,,drink~uh! I'm so worried!"
The master of the hall, Wu Yuzi, was also drunk, and his words were tongue-tied. The smell of alcohol washed away his previous gentle and elegant temperament.
"Teacher,,,teacher, junior brother! If, if something happens, just say it, come, come! We are brothers in our hearts!"
Although Xie Yuanqian came prepared, but after drinking so much, the fake act turned into real drunkenness. The wine jar in his hand had rolled to the ground. He supported the pillar and babbled nonsense,
"The day after tomorrow, the princess will get married. Even if I meet the princess, I won't be able to sing my song in time~!"
Wu Yuzi lay drunk on the gold-rimmed jade mat and answered him with half-closed eyes,
"Qu? Qu, I received it! Princess, the princess is still in the palace! But, what is the marriage? It has been postponed!"
While talking nonsense, Wu Yuzi revealed the breaking news that the marriage would be postponed.
Xie Yuanqian was a little awakened by the news and asked tentatively,
"Delayed? Why?"
Wu Yuzi struggled and leaned against the railing, taking a sip of wine.
"Good! What a wine!"
Then he cursed angrily,
"It's not that, Meng Xianglong, who is not a son of man! I'm halfway through rehearsing the wedding ceremony. Tell me to stop! We are like mothers!"
The postponement is obviously beneficial to Xie Yuanqian, but Meng Xianglong must have other important matters, and the postponement may have a bigger conspiracy.
Xie Yuanqian also scolded him,
"That human-looking thing! No! I, I want to see the princess! Yes! I want to compose music for the princess!"
Wu Yuzi was obviously dizzy from drinking, and he echoed loudly,
"Yes, yes! Meet the princess! Compose music for her! Compose music for her! We must make her immortal!"
. . . . . .
These two people were drunk all night in the Yuyin Hall reception room as if they were crazy. When they woke up, it was already three o'clock in the morning.
After all, Xie Yuanqian was just acting on occasion. He drank less and woke up first.
He only felt a splitting headache, but his mind was much clearer. He sat up and found that the surroundings were in a mess, the wine jar was broken on the floor, and the living room was filled with a strong smell of alcohol. He smiled bitterly. It seemed that he drank too much last night, but all his plans had been implemented.
Next, we only need to meet Princess Yutong and convince her to escape from the marriage.
