She was dressed in a special blue palace dress with perfect accessories. She had a peerless face and a slender waist. This was the feeling that Zhang Zixun gave off when she stood in front of everyone. On the spacious performance stage, a beautiful figure stood gracefully. Under the moonlight, there seemed to be a halo around her body, making people want to worship her. Even the emperor was no exception. He looked at Zhang Zixun with infatuated eyes. What he revealed was not greed or blasphemy, but a kind of reverence. Not only him, but everyone here was stunned! Was he still human? She was clearly a fairy from the Nine Heavens. Then, he looked at the Fourth Prince, Zhao Zeyi, and was even more speechless. Zhang Zixun knew that she had used a little spell to make her look more elegant. It seemed that the effect was completely beyond her imagination. Everyone present was stunned by her, including Li Ruonan, who always had her eyes on the top of her head. As her father in the mortal world, Premier Zhang was the first to come back to his senses. He whispered worriedly,""Xun Er, is there any problem? Will it work?" Zhang Zixun smiled at him and said confidently,""Father, although I don't like this place, since I'm here, I can't make things difficult for you. Don't worry, it won't be a problem!" Premier Zhang sat down uneasily. She turned around and bowed to the Emperor who was still in a daze. She said gently,"Emperor, can my daughter begin?”This sentence pulled the emperor back from his trance. The latter straightened his clothes and coughed lightly to cover up his loss of composure. He said seriously,"You may begin. But what exactly are you going to perform?”The Emperor was quite interested in this.
"Replying to the emperor, this official's daughter will sing a song for everyone. I don't have any good talent, but I can't let my father, the prime minister, lose face, right?”Zhang Zixun maintained her faint smile and said softly.
"Good, very good! What a filial daughter!" The Emperor clapped his hands and said,"You can start now."”
"Wait a minute, this official's daughter also has a request.”At this point, she suddenly stopped. The Emperor and the ministers looked at her strangely. She turned to Zhao Zeyi and said,"I would also like to ask the Fourth Prince to play a song for my daughter with his jade flute. I wonder if the Fourth Prince will agree?" Hearing this, the others did not mind, but Li Ruonan was so angry that her face turned green. She didn't expect Zhang Zixun to do this. She had dug her own pit and jumped into it. She had wanted to humiliate the other party, but she did not expect to create an opportunity for her.
"Hehe. I'm not sure. Since the Prime Minister's daughter has spoken, how can I not agree?”The Fourth Prince laughed heartily. Her attitude towards Li Ruonan was completely different from before. Yi Yue's figure flew up, and the jade flute was already at his waist. His suave appearance was enough to charm thousands of girls.
"Emperor, my daughter needs a zither. I want to play the zither and flute together.”Zhang Zixun said again. Zhao Zeyi's eyes lit up,"I didn't expect Miss Xun Er to have such skills. She's really hidden well!"”
"Fourth Prince, you flatter me. Aren't you showing off in front of an expert? I've embarrassed myself." Although she felt disgusted by her soft voice, it was not the time for her to be willful. At least, she could not embarrass her father now. Everything was prepared according to her requirements. Zhang Zixun wondered what song she should sing. Modern pop songs? They might not understand. Classic music? He didn't know how to do it. What should he do? She looked up inadvertently and saw the faint moonlight in the sky. She had an idea. Why not play a song called " When Will the Bright Moon Appear?" It was easy to understand and could be accompanied by the guzheng. She had made up her mind, so she gave the Fourth Prince a simple explanation. The latter was indeed proficient in music and understood it immediately. Everything was ready, and the performance was about to begin. For some reason, everyone present fell silent at the same time. They probably wanted to hear what kind of song it was.
Zhang Zixun nodded at the Fourth Prince, and the latter understood. The two of them made their preparations. Zhang Zixun slowly sat down like a fairy descending. The Fourth Prince gently raised the jade flute to his mouth. Zhang Zixun's two snow-white hands touched the strings of the zither and her jade-like fingers gently plucked. A melodious zither sound was heard. On the other side, Zhao Zeyi also blew the jade flute to harmonize. The two were so harmonious and perfect. The moonlight was shining on them, like spotlights on a stage, adding a lot of luster to them. Zhang Zixun's red lips parted slightly, and an ethereal and beautiful song came out of her mouth."When will the bright moon appear? I wonder what year it is in the palace in the sky. I want to go back with the wind, but I'm afraid of Qionglou Yuyu. It's too cold at the top. I dance and see the shadow clearly. How can I be in the world? Turn to the vermilion pavilion, low Qi door, light sleepless. There is no need to hate, what long to say goodbye to the round. People have joys and sorrows, and the moon has its ups and downs. It is difficult to complete this matter since ancient times. I hope that people will live long and live thousands of miles together.”After the song ended, there was no movement from below the stage, as if they were still stuck in the beautiful song for a long time. Zhang Zixun and Zhao Zeyi looked at each other and saw a satisfied smile in each other's eyes. Suddenly, the sound of birds flapping their wings could be heard. A group of birds flew away from the trees at the same time. The number was unimaginable. It turned out that they were all attracted by the song just now. Now that the song had stopped, they returned to the nest at the same time. To be able to make a hundred birds sing in unison, one could imagine how beautiful this song was. Zhang Zixun was a little dumbfounded. She could not believe that her singing was so magical. Could it attract so many birds to gather at the same time? He turned to look at Zhao Zeyi.
"Could it be his flute? Isn't this too impressive?" Facing her gaze, the latter only smiled faintly and did not answer. But even so, Zhang Zixun had already received an affirmative answer. So it wasn't that her singing was beautiful, but that the Fourth Prince's flute had reached such a level!
"Imperial Father, your son's performance is over. Imperial Father, Imperial Father." The Fourth Prince walked up to the Emperor, who was still reveling in the scene, and said softly,""Imperial Father, your son and Miss Zhang's performance has ended. Are you satisfied?”At this moment, the Emperor finally reacted from his daze."Oh, I'm done. It was over. Alright. Alright." Pa, pa, pa. The Emperor was the first to applaud. In the next moment, everyone below the stage seemed to have woken up. Deafening applause erupted.
"Miss Zhang is so talented and has a good singing voice! The Prime Minister had really given birth to a talented woman like a fairy!”It was unknown who said this, but everyone immediately echoed,"Yes, yes, she's really a talented woman!”After this scene, all the ministers paid their respects to the Prime Minister. Tonight, Premier Zhang was in the limelight. Just as he was busy dealing with his colleagues who were trying to be friendly with him, in an unnoticeable corner, two people were looking at him coldly."Father, I didn't expect Zhang Zixun to appear out of nowhere today. How detestable. She ruined our plan!”A female voice said fiercely.
"Nan 'er, don't worry. Even if we can't do it today, we have a long time ahead of us. This old man doesn't believe that Zhang Heng can continue to be complacent!”A deep male voice answered. The man's expression gradually turned cold, but it returned to normal in an instant. On the other side, the Emperor laughed loudly and said,""The Prime Minister's daughter is indeed extraordinary, even Zhen is infatuated with her tonight! Tell me, what kind of reward do you want? As long as it's in my Ziyue Kingdom, there's nothing wrong with it!”
"Thank you, Emperor!" Zhang Zixun bowed politely and said,"This official's daughter doesn't need any rewards. Today, I'm just congratulating the little prince. The little girl did not think too much about it. So, there's no need." Zhang Zixun rejected politely. Since she did not want to have anything to do with the Imperial Palace, there was no need for her to accept any rewards. These were her true feelings. However, she was completely at odds with Li Ruonan today. So she continued,"However, this minister's daughter would like to take this opportunity to give the emperor another gift."”Zhang Zixun smiled sweetly. This time, the Emperor was interested. He looked at her with a probing gaze and said,""Oh? I also have a gift? Good! Then I want to see what kind of gift it is.”Zhang Zixun smiled mysteriously, but she refused to speak. This piqued everyone's interest.
"Hmph, I want to see what other tricks you can play!”Li Ruonan said coldly. Not only did she not embarrass Zhang Zixun, but she also made her famous. This was called stealing a chicken but not succeeding and losing rice. It was a double loss. A few minutes later, Zhang Zixun raised her jade-like hand and patted it gently. Everyone's gaze followed her as they looked behind her. A young girl walked up with a large bucket in front of everyone's eyes. This person was none other than Qing `er. She walked up to Zhang Zixun and said softly,"Miss, this is what you wanted.”At the same time, he placed the bucket in his hand on the ground.
"Qing `er? Why are you here?" Premier Zhang saw that it was his daughter's servant girl, Qing 'er, and couldn't help but ask.
"Father, there's no need to feel strange. I was the one who asked Qing 'Er to deliver the things for me.”Zhang Zixun explained. When everyone saw that it was just an ordinary bucket in front of them, they all looked at her strangely, including the fourth prince, Zhao Zeyi. At this moment, he was looking at Zhang Zixun with a probing gaze."This girl is really special. I wonder what she wants to play with?”Zhang Zixun was very satisfied when she saw everyone's strange gazes. This was the effect she wanted. On the other side, Li Ruonan saw that Zhang Zixun only took out an ordinary wooden bucket. Her smile became even colder."I was wondering what it was. It's just a bucket. Let's see how you're going to clean it up!”However, she changed her mind the next moment.
"What is this? Is this your gift to me?”The Emperor asked curiously. Zhang Zixun nodded. "Oh?" The Emperor was even more puzzled. Then what is this?" He asked with interest. Zhang Zixun revealed a mysterious smile. Seeing that everyone's appetite had been whetted, she signaled for Qing 'Er to open the wooden bucket. The things inside immediately made everyone's jaws drop. It was just ordinary ginger. When he saw the item, Premier Zhang noticed the displeasure on the Emperor's face."What's wrong with this daughter! It was fine just now, but why did this happen now? Wasn't this deceiving the emperor? What kind of gift is ginger?" When the ministers saw this, they began to discuss. The atmosphere instantly turned heavy. Li Ruonan, who was gloating over his misfortune, sneered."Ginger? Haha. Ginger? Zhang Zixun, let's see how you're going to clean this up!”Facing everyone's strange gazes, Zhang Zixun was very calm. She pointed at the bucket beside her and respectfully said to the emperor,"Emperor, please don't be angry. The reason why I gave you a bucket of ginger, please think about it carefully.”After her reminder, the Emperor looked at Ginger and fell into deep thought. A moment later, his brows gradually relaxed, and in the end, it became great joy. Then, he clapped and said,"Alright, I'll do it. Zixun's gift was too good! You really understand my intentions!" At the same time, the Fourth Prince also revealed a faint smile.""This girl is not just any ordinary smart girl!”At this moment, everyone still did not understand why the Emperor would suddenly be so happy. They all looked at him in confusion. But at least Premier Zhang was relieved. It seemed that the emperor liked this gift very much.
