The Great Wei Music Bureau

Chapter 239 Farewell Performance (Part )

Last time we talked about Li Yi going to see Shen Yue and telling him the truth of the matter, which was a very cruel move. So this time let’s see what the great talent Li will do next.

Li Yi left Jiankang and flew all the way to catch up with the delegation in one day. Seeing Li Yi, the delegation immediately surrounded him. After greeting each other, Tuoba Li patted Li Yi on the shoulder and said, "I'm glad you're back. His Majesty said that if you can't go back, I won't go back either. We are almost at the border of our Great Wei. Do you know how worried I am?"

Li Yi bowed and said, "Please forgive me, Your Majesty. I will have to let you worry about me for a few more days."

Lu Yu asked nervously, "Li Yi, what are you going to do now? Now that you are back, can't you just follow the delegation back to Wei?"

Tuoba Li was surprised when he saw this and said, "Li Yi, what do you mean? You still want to leave? The Shen family, the largest family in Nanliang, has collapsed, what else do you want to do?"

Li Yi held Cui Zhi's hand and said with a smile, "I promised her that I would accompany her to sing on the stage of Le Zonghui after the Shen family's affairs are settled. I can't break my promise! Besides, my servant is still waiting for me in Linjiang, I can't abandon him. Please rest on the north bank of Penghe for two days. After I finish this matter, I will go back with the delegation honestly!"

After Li Yi finished speaking, he picked up Cui Zhi and said to Jiang Hongyu, "Sister Hongyu, let's go to Linjiang!"

The square outside the Linjiang Music Center had already been arranged, with the VIP seats, private seats, and stands filled with people, and there was no shelter outside, so people could watch at will, but from a distance. Zhang Hongchen announced a few days ago that the farewell concert of Li Yuefu of the Northern Wei Dynasty would be tonight, so the concave bank of the Qiantang River Music Center was now crowded with people.

Linjiang King Xiao Yonghong was very excited because Zhang Hongchen told him that the income from this farewell performance was the capital that Li Yi would pay back to him, and it was no more and no less. Xiao Yonghong looked at the huge crowds at the scene and couldn't close his mouth with a smile.

In the VIP seats, all the young men from the eight Jiangdong families were present. It should be noted that Yu Jinyao came with Yu Feng. Not only her, Xiao Ruoping also came to Linjiang with the third prince Xiao Yonggang, and was now sitting in the VIP seats. Xiao Yonghong walked to the center with a smile, and everyone stood up to salute. He raised his hand to signal everyone to take a seat, and the performance was about to begin.

The lights go out, the stars disappear, and the blue clouds open. The clouds open and the moon shines on the high platform. On the high platform, two poles stand in the water, and a white sail is hung between the two poles, forming a curtain facing the river bank.

But a black shadow was seen hovering above the high platform, and purple air gathered and turned into a brush. The black shadow took the brush and wrote quickly. When he finished writing, he raised his hand and pushed it. The floating words flew to the canvas and were reflected on it. It was the Linjiangxian poem:

the river is long and tempestuous, it was like a hero. Success or failure turned empty. Aoyama is still there, How Many Suns.

White-haired fisherman Qiao Jiangzhu, used to watch the autumn moon and spring breeze.A pot of muddy wine rejoiced to meet each other.Many things, ancient and modern, are in the middle of a joke.

Yu Jiu lit up all the lights in the venue, and Li Yi slowly landed in the center of the stage. He raised his hand and the military bugle sounded, followed by the orchestra playing together. Li Yi finished the song with a deep and rich hum. Xiao Yonghong stood up and applauded. He liked the tune of this poem more than the song, because Zhang Hongchen told him that after tonight, Linjiangxian's business would definitely get better and better.

Li Yi bowed to the audience and said, "Thank you all for coming to watch my farewell performance. Of course, those who have seats have paid, and those who don't have seats have not. To be honest, friends who haven't paid don't have to worry, you will hear the same as those who have paid. It's just that the venue is limited, and my ability is limited, so I can only arrange it this way. Although the closer you sit to the front, the more you pay, but friends sitting in the front row, why are you sitting here when you didn't pay?"

Xiao Yonghong said boldly: "I spent the most money! Le Zonghui was rebuilt with my own money! Shouldn't I sit here?"

"Oh, that's fine. Hey, Third Prince, have you spent any money? Why are you sitting here?"

Xiao Zonggang smiled and said, "I didn't spend any money, but if I don't sit here, who will drink with the emperor uncle?"

Xiao Yonghong smiled and said, "Right, right, right. Zong Gang has to drink with me, and we have to drink to our heart's content! Come on, come on! Fill up your glasses! Li Yi, you are not allowed to hide anything tonight. Show us all your skills and open my eyes, and open theirs too!"

"Okay, since we are going to have a good time tonight, please follow me and follow the breeze to the Moon Palace... Hey, where is the moon? It was there just now, why is it gone now?"

"Sir, the moon is covered by that cloud. How about we sing a song before the moon comes out?"

"Okay! Then please give the warmest applause to welcome Qian Tang's number one singer, Su Xiao!"

As the music started, Su Xiao came slowly in a white dress on a boat. She sang "If the Moon Hasn't Come" at the bow. You should listen to the version of "The Voice of God". In this version, Uncle Bao Shi's rap lyrics are quite good.

However, in order to suit the context of the times, Li Yi slightly changed the lyrics, and the subtitles on the screen would change with the singing. This was a new skill that Li Yi mastered after learning the art of ink painting.

Cui: The wind blew over the mountain and the boat came to the shore

Take a look at the scenery

(Cui Zhi's boat stopped at the side of the stage. Li Yi quickly stepped forward to support her. Cui Zhi smiled and continued to sing)

Cui: I go north and you go south

Stories, one by one

Li: It’s so annoying. It’s so hard to write a good song. And the prince is like this. He won’t let you or me be lazy.

So annoying, we love each other but have to separate, love is not clear

(Li Yi looked at Yu Jinyao in the audience affectionately. The latter was obviously not used to Li Yi's public teasing, and her pretty face was full of embarrassment. Seeing this, Cui Zhi stood in front of Li Yi and started singing.)

Cui: It’s so annoying. It’s so hard to control a man, but I still feel unwilling to do so because his love is overflowing.

(Li Yi takes Cui Zhi's hand, with a wicked smile on his face)

Li: If it is difficult to achieve perfection, it is better to choose to be calm.

If the moon hasn't come out yet, candlelight can also illuminate the windowsill

The white camellia blossoms

(The screen shows the scene of camellia flowers blooming all over the ground)

Cui: If the morning breeze has not come, the evening breeze can also blow into my arms

The wind blows the shadows of the trees gently swaying

(The scene changes, the bright moon shines on the tree shadows, the wind blows the shadows movingly)

Li Yi pointed at Xiao Ruoping and sang rap:

If you feel that fate is helpless

Adjust your mindset quickly

Leaning on the windowsill in the corridor, shouting to the sky

A girl who wants happiness but feels helpless

How can I describe her lost state?

What is the meaning of life?

Where is her destination?

The seemingly carefree Princess Mansion

Who cares about her sorrows and joys?

The future is always far away

The pressure of life is even more suffocating

Why at such a young age

Going through so much is not easy

Walking forward in confusion

Stumbling but unable to cry out in pain

Don't dare to expect love easily

Don't be easily self-indulgent

Moon, moon, you don't understand

How heavy is the vow?

The big sedan chair leading to happiness

Appeared in her dream again

She was grabbing the pillow fiercely and her tears were flowing

I don't know whether I will leave or stay next year after this year.

The hazy moonlight passed over her tear marks, her face was green

The evening breeze blows through the window and the camellia blossoms

Cui: It’s so annoying, this kind of life is so difficult, but this is life, who can be without hardships.

Li: It's so annoying. We love each other but have to separate. I don't understand love.

Cui: It’s so annoying. It’s so hard to get close to my ideal, but I’m still unwilling to accept it. How can I embrace mediocrity?

Li: If it is the most difficult to achieve perfection, it is better to choose calmness

Cui: If the moon hasn't come yet

Li: The moon hasn't come yet

Cui: Candlelight can also illuminate the windowsill

Li: Let the candlelight shine on the windowsill

Cui: The white camellia blossoms

Li: The camellia blooms gently for you

Cui: If the morning breeze hasn't come yet

Evening breeze can also blow into my arms

Li: The wind blows the shadows of the trees gently swaying

Cui: The wind blows the shadows of the trees gently swaying,

Chorus: The wind blows gently, making the shadows of the trees sway.

(The picture on the screen gradually moves away, from a candlelit window through which one can see two people hugging each other inside the house; to the moonlight shining on the tree shadows outside the house; to the courtyard with swaying tree shadows, and finally stops at a sea of ​​camellias in full bloom outside the courtyard.)

Xiao Ruoping looked at the picture on the curtain, and then looked at Li Yi and Cui Zhi who were smiling at her on the stage, with mixed feelings in her heart. She knew that Li Yi was persuading her to leave the Anti-Liang faction as soon as possible and live a simple life. But now she really didn't know whether she should go forward or retreat. But later, after Xiao Ruoping returned to the Princess's Mansion, she planted camellias all over the yard by herself. Whenever she encountered difficulties, she would open the window and look at the camellias in the yard, and recall this song.

Yu Jinyao looked at Xiao Ruoping in the front row, stretched out her hand to pull Yu Feng's sleeve and asked, "Brother, is there any connection between Li Yuefu and that Princess Ping'an?"

Yu Feng shook his head and smiled: "Li Yi is a playboy. I can't tell for sure. I've seen it too. Didn't he flirt with you in public just now? He is like that. If I really decide on him, I'm afraid it will be very difficult for me in the future."

Yu Jinyao uttered an "oh" and was filled with annoyance and a very bad mood. Yu Feng thought his sister was angry because of the public teasing before, he didn't know that the little girl was actually jealous.

But how could our great talent Li not understand the principle of equal treatment? He stretched out his hand to disperse the "clouds" that blocked the bright moon, and then smiled at Yu Jinyao and said: "Now that the moon is out, please follow my footsteps and step into the Moon Palace to find the fairy in the moon!"

Li Yi waved his hand, and the screen changed to show the scene of walking on the wind and chasing the moon. The moon in the screen became bigger and bigger, and everyone vaguely saw a palace in the moon. Someone exclaimed: "Moon Palace, that's the Moon Palace!"

Li Yi smiled and said, "Yes! That is the Moon Palace! But let's not go to the Moon Palace."

Xiao Yonghong said unhappily: "Hey, Li Yi, we are already on the moon, why don't you take us to the Moon Palace? I really want to see what the fairy Chang'e looks like! They say she is the most beautiful woman in the world. Hurry up and take us to see what the fairy Chang'e in your mind looks like!"

Li Yi waved his hands repeatedly and said, "Your Highness, this is not allowed! To be honest, the fairy Chang'e in my mind is exactly like my wife. My wife is ugly, so I won't show her to you."

Xiao Zonggang interrupted, "Hey, Li Yuefu, that's not right! I've seen your wife before, and she's no less beautiful than my sister Qizhen. She's a real beauty. Your modest words sound like bragging to me!"

Xiao Yonghong shouted, "Hey, Li Yi! Didn't we agree not to hide anything? Why are you still like this? Since your wife is as beautiful as a fairy, at least let us take a look at her! What do you think?"

“Take a look!” “Take a look!”

Everyone in the audience followed Xiao Yonghong in making a noise. Cui Zhi said with a smile, "Sir, since everyone wants to see it, and I haven't met Sister Shiyu either, why not let Sister Shiyu meet you in this painting?"

Li Yi sighed and said, "Okay, okay, then please ask my wife to come out and greet you all!"

The scene on the screen moved to the vermilion-painted and gold-tiled Moon Palace attic. Under the gaze of the crowd, the window slowly opened. The beauty in a white dress and holding a sky-blue veil had her back to the crowd, and everyone was expecting this graceful fairy to turn around.
