After nightfall, silver moonlight shone on the ground, and the sad chirping of crickets everywhere.

The fragrance of the night permeates the air, woven into a soft net, covering all the scenery.

What the eyes touch are all things covering this soft net. No matter how grass and tree are, they are not as realistic as in the daytime. They all have blurred and empty colors. Each hides its meticulous point, keeps its secrets, and makes people feel like dreams.

Outside the hall, a group of empresses, wives, and destiny came to listen to the music with lanterns. The skirts were all over the place, and the eyes were covered with yellow eunuchs, and they were filled with pearls and treasures. They hugged outside the hall with a smile.

At this time, a tune came from the Jiaofang Hall in the harem.

The Royal Band is full of music, and various instruments are tuning.

Some eunuchs were installing scenery and setting lights.

Qiao Sheng was excited and busy inspecting and guiding the musicians.

Two concubines talked secretly in the crowd.

A concubine whispered: "I heard that the border situation is tense, the Huns and Xianbei people continue to invade the border, and more than 10,000 refugees poured into Yecheng."

Another concubine also echoed: "I have heard of it, and I don't know what the king is thinking. I still have the heart to listen to this at this time."

"The king of a great country, this thing cannot be achieved? A person from the court is staring at him. The more calm and moderate he is, the more he can calm people's hearts."

Gongye there shouted loudly: "The Princess of Chu is here-----"

Nie Zefeng was accompanied by Cao Jie and walked over with a smile...

Royal Band is arranged in a grand manner in the hall

Qiao Sheng was in the lead position and waited quietly.

The concubines and wives have sat in their seats according to their positions.

Nie Zefeng, who was in the throne, turned around and asked, "You'll be here!"

Chief Cao hurriedly went out to work and started the remark: "Return to the king, the partial concubine Sun Shangxiang has not arrived yet."

Nie Zefeng frowned and asked, "What's going on?"

"Princess Sun arrived first, but she felt that her clothes were not harmonious, so she went back to change her clothes!"

"Just she has a lot to do! She is so mother-in-law, don't wait for her anymore, start!"

The servants blew out the palace lanterns.

Instrumental music seems to come from a distant place in silence, like a sacred person.

Against the backdrop of music, Qiao Sheng chanted loudly on a torch:

"The chaos is chaotic, like a galloping horse. The gangster is vast, the sound is like a thunder drum. When you get angry, you will die, and you will be bad. The first song, "Qujiang Guantao"..."

Qiao Sheng retreated, and the music came from the weak to the strong and the magnificent.

The bells and the tripods are ringing, the drums are ringing, and the strings are mixed. A magnificent musical scene instantly shocked the hall, like a rushing river.

Nie Zefeng, who looked shocked, was moved and obsessed with music.

The palace maid sitting in the front was playing the zither.

Musicians are typing chimes.

The palace maid's dexterous fingers pulled on the strings.

Playing musicians bulge their cheeks and play the trumpet horns and bamboo sheng.

The drummer beats on a real military war drum.

The palace maids play with great enthusiasm.

Nie Zefeng listened emotionally, listened...

Madam, the concubine covered her ears in shock.

Nie Zefeng was moved and tears fell down.

Cao Jie looked at him in surprise and quietly took out a silk handkerchief and handed it over.

Nie Zefeng stubbornly ignored him and let tears fall in public.

The music stopped abruptly under Qiao Sheng's decisive gesture.

The hall was so quiet that even a needle could be heard falling to the ground. The palace maid looked at the king.

After hearing this, Nie Zefeng clapped his hands three times in a row and shouted: "Okay, it's so good. It's rare that the sound of the zither is so incompatible with my mind..."

There was a commotion behind him.

Nie Zefeng: "Get out..."

The people of the Le greeted Nie Zefeng under the leadership of the palace maid.

Nie Zefeng looked at the Leren who was leaving.

At this time, Princess Sun Shangxiang walked over in a weird outfit.

Sun Shangxiang asked loudly: "Official Qiao Le, what kind of music are you playing? It sounds like thunder and raining in the hall, so you are not afraid of shaking the roof of the hall."

Sun Shangxiang said as she sat down beside Nie Zefeng.

Nie Zefeng asked: "What is the next song?"

Qiao Sheng hurriedly replied: "The King is based on Sima Xiangru's "Shanglin Fu" - "Royal Hunting".

Nie Zefeng hurriedly clapped his hands and said, "Oh? I thought very well!"

"I think that royal music should reflect the glory of our great Chu civilization, and should arouse the admiration of people of the times and the yearning of future generations, control the world, and integrate the past and present. The beauty of palaces and gardens, the prosperity of chariots and chariots, the number of flying eagles and dogs, the joy of sightseeing and hunting, the King of Chu rode a thousand horses and rode out to hunt..."

Sun Shangxiang joked impatiently: "Can you have a little more relaxed Li Legong? For example, the 'Sangzhong' mood, our Princess Cao has a first-class voice, what about 'asking who is your lovesickness? It's the beautiful Meng Jiang'..." After hearing this, Nie Zefeng had an intention to get angry, but thought that he would send troops to Xuzhou and adopt a pacification policy for Jiangdong, so Nie Zefeng stopped talking.

But the princess Cao Jie next to him was uncomfortable at first.

The dull Qiao Sheng agreed, "Oh, the band can play the song "Sangzhong" that Princess Sun said."

"Look, let me talk, Princess Cao sing one. The concubines of each palace have never seen Princess Cao's voice!"

"Princess Cao just sings, and these musicians can keep up with any musical rhythm------"

Cao Jie naturally knew that the reason why Sun Shangxiang was so arrogant was nothing more than that his brother, the little overlord Sun Ce, had a heavy army and was the overlord who dominated the side. She hurriedly refused, "Let's go away, Princess Sun, I haven't sang for a long time, and I'm going to do it, so that the sisters can laugh."

"Oh, look at what my sister said, they are all her sisters. Whoever jokes about whom? Don't just spend time giving birth to a baby. Forget your skills. You are an expert..."

Nie Zefeng, who couldn't stand it, waved his sleeve and blocked it, "Okay!"

"King, I can't even make such a small request..."

Nie Zefeng stood up slowly and then said harshly: "I am sure! Let her sing... sing!"

Nie Zefeng left with his sleeves.

Sun Shangxiang got up and chased after him, and then grabbed his sleeves and shouted, "King-----"

Nie Zefeng left without looking back.

Cao Jie said to the dazed Qiao Sheng: "Switch on the music, Li Leguan!"

Returning to Cao Jie's bedroom in the harem, Nie Zefeng shouted at Cao Jie: "...Why are you timid? You poor man! Cartilage! You should slap her in the face in public! I can't beat her, can't you beat me? You, you just want to be a good person! But do you know that she is not talking about you, she is ridiculing me!"

Cao Jie was sobbing.

"You are still crying, but others have forced you to the doorstep, humiliating you and mocking you, but you will only cry! You are so useless!..."

Cao Jie, who was scolded by Nie Zefeng, wiped his tears and said with confidence: "You only know how to say to me? King! Then I ask you, how many people did the Huns plundered you? How much property did the Huns plundered? The refugees in Yecheng City were filled with the streets and alleys, and they were not fond of fruit and clothes. As their monarch, what did you do? Didn't you also stretch your left face to the left? I was weak, at best, one person was humiliated, but the king was weak and the country was humiliated?"

Bang, Nie Zefeng slapped Cao Jie in the face.

This slap both of them was stunned.

In awkwardness, Nie Zefeng stomped the desk beside him and ran out of the door.

Nie Zefeng's anger came: "Captain Cao, go, tonight, go to the street with me to sleep!"

On the streets of Yecheng, officials distributed corn to refugees.

Countless rice bowls were held in the hands of the refugees and reached into the cart crowded.

There were long refugee teams inside and outside the parking lot, and people were in rags and hungry!

From afar, Nie Zefeng and his attendant Cao Chang looked sadly.

"It's so miserable, so miserable!"

Nie Zefeng said silently.

An official holding a whip is maintaining order.

The official caught a refugee in the team: "Why? I've received one and come again. I want to eat double portions, get out!"

The refugee defended: "My mother is sick, I will collect it for her, but it's not just a double share!"

"Your mother is sick? I'm making up a lie again! Get out of here!"

The palace maids and a few girls came over and talked and laughed.

The palace maid came over and said, "I'm sick, so why not come here to get one more?"
