Chapter 351 Is there anything wrong?
Even though there was a layer of gauze between them, Gu Qingyuan recognized him at a glance. She could not mistake those purple eyes.
She even wondered if it was just someone who looked a bit like Qingluan.
But it wasn't until I heard that person speaking to the Queen, that exact same voice.
Qingluan walked in front and said to the empress, "Your servant greets your majesty. May your majesty be blessed with good health."
"Get up, and play a song for everyone later."
"I obey my command."
That voice was definitely his!
Gu Qingyuan was actually quite curious about why he came to the palace since he was not in Zuihonglou.
After paying his respects to the Queen, Qingluan held his pipa and tested the sound.
There was a pair of artificial nails on his slender white fingers. After testing the pitch, his nimble hands danced on the pipa, and pleasant sounds came out from his fingertips.
Wearing artificial nails can minimize noise and protect the nails.
While it was playing, everyone was listening in fascination.
Qingluan played a song called "Song of the Frontier". This song sounds very sad. It tells the story of a woman who left her hometown to marry the Huns and her longing for her hometown.
The whole piece sounds full of sorrow and sadness, and when it reaches the climax, the weeping-like performance makes people's hearts seem to be pulled.
Qingluan sat on the high stool prepared by the Queen, playing the piano with full concentration.
The reason why he could perform this piece of music so well was that when he first arrived at Zuihonglou to learn the music, if he didn't play it well, the boss would whip him and not give him food.
This "Song of the Frontier" is also the one he plays most proficiently.
Because he poured his emotions into it, everyone was moved by his performance, and some even cried.
After the song was finished, the lingering sound lingered in the air, and everyone seemed to be immersed in the music, unable to react for a long time.
The Queen led the applause, and then the people below applauded and praised, "Good, good playing."
Qingluan bowed slightly.
Next, the Queen asked Eunuch Li to bring a pair of bracelets and give them to Qingluan as a gift.
"This is a gold bracelet, a reward for you."
The pair of gold bracelets were placed on a tray covered with black cloth. The gold bracelets were woven from gold threads and looked very luxurious.
Eunuch Li walked up to Qingluan and handed him the gold bracelet.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
He took the bracelet and put it into his sleeve.
Qingluan remained neither humble nor arrogant throughout the whole process. Even when facing so many people, he was not panicked at all.
Because he knew that his task today was to play for these nobles, and after the performance he could leave.
Many people's eyes fell on Qingluan. You know, he is the top star of Zuihonglou.
Some people wanted to spend money to have sex with him, but were rejected by the brothel owner on the grounds that he only sold his art and not his body.
Now seeing Qingluan again, several ministers who often went to Zuihonglou were already starting to feel itchy.
Qingluan noticed the gazes that were cast upon her, some with admiration, some with inquiry.
He hugged Pipa tightly, feeling a little sick inside, especially the stares from some people, as if they wanted to tear him apart and eat him.
After Qingluan finished his performance, several men walked in from outside the hall. However, because they had seen Qingluan's performance and his half-covered face, when they saw the other performers, they felt a little bored and lowered their heads to eat and drink.
The men were performing a dance.
After being able to rest, Qingluan stood aside and observed the people below calmly.
Some people looked at the people dancing without blinking.
Some of them were talking to the people next to them, drinking and watching.
Suddenly, Qingluan's pupils shrank and her breathing stopped.
Because he saw that the man was also watching the people dancing in the hall.
Gu Qingyuan inadvertently raised her head and looked at the people dancing in the hall.
They have flexible bodies and can bend their waists to incredible degrees when dancing.
But after watching for a while, she felt it was boring and it would be better to drink to make her feel better.
After seeing Gu Qingyuan, Qingluan stared at her closely.
He hadn't seen her since the last time she came to Zuihonglou.
He just saw her looking at those dancing people. Could it be that she prefers men who can dance?
But he can do it, but he is better at playing the pipa.
"That person seems to be looking at you."
General Gu, who was standing beside Gu Qingyuan, reminded him.
"Who?"
"The person who just played the pipa."
Gu Qingyuan looked at Qingluan, who was holding the pipa with a bit of resentment.
At this time, Gu Qingyuan was even more certain that he was Qingluan.
But this was in the palace, and it was the Queen who invited him. Gu Qingyuan didn't feel comfortable greeting him, so he quickly looked away.
In Qingluan's eyes, he was not important at all in her heart.
She clearly knew that she was not feeling well, and she gave the boss some money, telling him to let her rest.
Could it be that she doesn't care about herself at all?
Qingluan's purple eyes were misty, making her look a little more pitiful.
General Gu asked, "Do you know the man His Majesty invited?"
When facing his mother, Gu Qingyuan didn't want to lie, so he told her: "I met him once before."
General Gu was skeptical.
If they had only met once, why did the man have that expression now?
It was as if Gu Qingyuan had betrayed him.
Afterwards, other people performed, and when the banquet was about to end, Qingluan played the last song "Yangchun Baixue" to end it.
Qingluan adjusted her mood and walked to the front.
But because he was upset, he suddenly made a mistake while playing.
Someone in the palace who knew the pipa pointed out, "This is not the place to play it like this."
Qingluan was a little panicked, but the more nervous he was, the more mistakes he made. Later on, he even played a little out of tune.
"This 'Yangchun Baixue' is a positive and uplifting song. The way you play it is not quite right!"
The sound of Qingluan's playing suddenly stopped. He said to the empress above: "It is my fault that I did not play well. Your Majesty, please punish me."
The Queen looked at Qingluan who was standing there and waved her hand, saying, "It's okay, just play it again."
She was in a good mood today, so she didn't bother with this trick.
Qingluan played it again, and this time he made no mistakes, performing "Yangchun Baixue" perfectly.
It was dark outside at this time.
Everyone left the scene.
The Queen sent someone to escort Bai Mo and the others back to Sifang Pavilion.
Gu Qingyuan also packed up and went back with General Gu.
However, just after she walked out, she heard Qingluan calling her.
"Wait, wait a minute."
"Huh? Is something wrong?"
