Chapter 173 – A Cute Girl Throws Bottles
“You made a breakthrough and were so happy that you threw a big banquet, weren’t you?” Ji Wuyou looked at Xiahou Di’s expression somewhat strangely, “Why do I see melancholy in your eyes instead?”
Xiahou Di’s heart was flabbergasted, not because she was being shown her mind, but because she herself didn’t even know her own mind.
Despondent?
Because of Xue Mu? Because of the contrary position with him, because it was very likely that one day sooner or later, she would be an enemy with him?
She took a deep breath and revealed a bright smile: “Where’s the despondency, I’m very happy na, take your seat, you are the first in the VIP seat, the guests are almost all here, why are you squeezing me on the main seat?”
Ji Wuyou smiled, did not reveal her face, but instead shifted the topic of the wind and snow: “Qin Fairy this kind of mysterious fairy, how many people in the capital are thinking about it. Where did you find it?”
Mysterious ass …… Xiahou Di exploded a thick in his heart, the smile on his face did not change: “I’m Department Six, looking for someone this kind of thing also need to ask? Besides, the qin fairy is the image we drew, what’s so rare about being able to contact her?”
Ji Wuyou busily said, “Since you have a friendship that’s more than fine. In a few days, I have a literary fair, I wonder if I can invite Fairy Qin to perform at the Clear Shadow Garden? It will surely add color to the fair, and the price of the performance will be set by her.”
Xiahou Di hesitated for a moment, “This would be a good thing for her, I’ll ask her what she wants later.”
Ji Wuyou’s eyes flashed imperceptibly. You, the Chief Arrestor, arranging for a zither girl to participate in a performance that is obviously of a high grade, and you actually have to ask her what she means? Other people treat her as a fairy, could it be that she’s really a fairy?
He didn’t say any more, just smiled and said, “Then we’ll wait for your good news.” After saying this, he turned around and took his seat.
The atmosphere of the banquet is very festive, hundreds of guests, Xiahou Di also completely put away the worries in her heart, valiantly presided over the banquet.
Meng Lan will be in the banquet half hearty, appeared to play.
Now Meng Lan’s performance is more and more mature, not only refers to the technique and music comprehension, more importantly, more professional accompaniment. Wen Hao and the others were hidden behind the scenes, and the various instruments were set to real chords, something that even Xue Mu had not instructed, and was entirely out of the spontaneous behavior of the musicians of this world.
With the soundtrack and backing, the effect of a proper accompaniment was absolutely stronger than a solo performance, which meant that the effect of Meng Lan’s performance had gradually moved towards the true top of this world.
Even if the nobles of the capital had silk and bamboo accompanying their ears all year round, under this truly excellent music, with the addition of the identity of the Zither Fairy, Meng Lan’s performance still reaped an effect that was not inferior to that of Ling Zhou.
After the song was played, Meng Lan retired, leaving the aftermath of the sound, full of silence.
Xiahou Di then smiled and offered a music box, “Fairy Qin cannot always play for people, but you need not be despondent, this is enough to accompany you.”
Her mode of promotion was slightly crude, but there was no doubt that this kind of afterglow, when everyone was still reminiscing about the immortal sound, sacrificing such a magical artifact had a surprisingly good effect. The guests of the banquet were instantly sensationalized, even Ji Wuyou froze there, obviously also shocked by this magical thing.
“This can’t be something that Xiahou made by himself, right, Spirit State …… this kind of subversive thinking, is bound to be Xue Mu’s handwriting undoubtedly, this Qin Fairy …… is actually a Star and Moon Demoness!” Ji Wuyou’s heart quickly came to a conclusion, “Xiahou is getting closer and closer to the Star Moon Sect …… No, it is with Xue Mu ……”
Ji Wuyou pinched the wine cup and slowly rotated it, the amber-colored wine reflected his pupils, ghostly with an unfathomable light.
Magical Music Box Boom spread very quickly, within a few moments, always concerned about this wine banquet Ji Qingyuan have gotten the news, personally sent guards to find Xiahou Di to ask for a copy of the collector’s edition.
Leaning in the bedchamber, listening to the music box gentle ethereal melody, Ji Qingyuan closed his eyes and listened to a long, long time, before a long sigh: “The world’s spirit of the show, how all to the Star and Moon Zong to go ……”
Next to Liu Wanxi, she lost her smile in her heart. Casually change a knowledgeable person, on this box to see are unprecedented creativity, as heavenly craftsmanship like the magic of creation, only you so oddball emperor, actually with those stargazers like full of eyes only Meng Lan’s spiritual beauty. She held back her odd emotions and pretended to be pouting, “Your Majesty, my concubine is still there!”
“Haha, yes, I have a noble concubine, but it’s not inferior to her Star Moon Clan!” Ji Qing Yuan laughed loudly, “Pass my order to go, reward Fairy Qin with a hundred silks and three ducats of pearl.”
Originally, regardless of whether the emperor rewarded or not, it didn’t matter that Meng Lan was already recognized as the Qin Fairy. But after all, the emperor’s reward is always the talk of the town, leading to the banquet atmosphere is even hotter. Meng Lan out to receive the reward, turn your head on the seat of the dignitaries and all kinds of gentlemen of the hot attitude scared, fortunately, there are Xiahou Di town scene, Meng Lan strong self to do a look of cool dust, avoiding the seat out of the corridor.
Xiao Ai quietly drilled over, slurping, “Sister Meng Lan, you are really developed.”
Meng Lan looked around and whispered, “Don’t want to die, looking for me to talk like this?”
Xiao Ai sighed, “Do you really think the Chief Constable doesn’t know who I am? People have long had suspicions, and now that they have been observing for a long time, their hearts have long been numbered, but they just don’t want to reveal it. In fact, it …… Xiahou Chief Constable heart is really very hopeful that our family chief can be when Department Six is a family.”
Meng Lan was silent for a long time before quietly handing her a jade bottle, “Seek the opportunity to give it to Eunuch Li.”
Hearing this from Ai, when she handed over the jade bottle at this moment, Meng Lan’s heart was also very unfavorable. In any case, Xiahou Di was really sincere enough to Xue Mu. At this moment, she was more and more able to appreciate Xue Mu’s mood at that time, it was really bad, how to forcefully cut off Xiahou Di and Ji Qingyuan, but she also knew that it was just self-deception.
Sighing, he was about to go back to Xiahou Di to say goodbye and take a rest, when he saw a group of gentlemen coming from the other side of the aisle, all of them drunk, talking about Meng Lan’s Immortal Sound and the magical music box. When they saw Meng Lan, their eyes lit up and they surrounded them: “Fairy Qin! Fairy Qin! We are all your loyal supporters, play another song, will you!”
Wen Hao and the others who were escorting Meng Lan were greatly shocked, this where they dared to be surrounded, hurriedly escorting Meng Lan and running away. Xiao Ai fought bravely to stop in front of them, “Fairy Qin is Chief Constable Xiahou’s honored guest, no rudeness!”
A group of people were half-drunk, who cares about a little girl like her? Xiao Ai only felt a wave of people surging, was crowded dizzy, back to a group of people early from her side of the crowd, yelling and screaming a long way to chase after Meng Lan and go.
Only heard Xiahou Di’s angry voice: “All to this seat stand still! What a scandal!”
Xiahou Di’s prestige was obviously not comparable to Xiao Ai’s, and the gentlemen instantly wilted, and were honestly driven back to their seats. Xiao Ai breathed out, suddenly stunned, feel as if something is missing ……
“Where is the bottle …… bottle? Where is the bottle that Meng Lan gave me?” Xiao Ai lying on the aisle searching everywhere, angry and anxious, tears are about to fall out.
She didn’t even know that the bottle had been kicked to the other end of the long corridor long ago, rolling and rolling into the grass.
A few moments later, Ji Wuyou went out to the toilet with a full stomach, his feet stepped on something, he picked it up and looked at it, some surprise in his eyes, “This jade bottle is finely crafted, who dropped it?”
Uncorked the bottle and smelled it, his eyes slowly changed: “Chronic poisonous …… Xiahou’s residence, how to have such a thing?”
Just want to turn around and go to find Xiahou Di, Ji Wuyou stepped but suddenly stopped, squinting his eyes do not know what to think, and slowly put the bottle into the sleeve, as if nothing happened to go out of respect.
