Chapter 1224: Is it wrong to favor the imperial concubine?
Feeling uneasy in her heart, Yun Ran was carried into the Hall of Cultivation of the Heart, but this time she was on a walking chariot, which was completely different from the last time, which also made her notice that it was unusual.
When she arrived, she found that two other newlyweds who had entered the palace had also arrived.
One's surname is Yang, whose dot is Yunv; the other's surname is Lan, whose dot is Baolin. These two have the best appearance among all the newcomers.
Her eyebrows twitched slightly, and she knew that her worries were not unnecessary.
The moment the three beauties stood in front of Xiao Ce, Xiao Ce stared at them intently for a while, looking far away but saying nothing.
Seeing Xiao Ce's delay in responding, Zhang Jixiang coughed lightly and reminded: "Your Majesty?"
The emperor asked him to pick out a few newcomers, and the most beautiful one among all the newcomers also came over. Is this just how he sees it?
Xiao Ce's eyes finally became focused, but he couldn't help feeling anxious in his heart.
He was not good at facing women, so he coughed lightly and said, "Let's dance."
Zhang Jixiang was a police officer, so he immediately said: "Slave, go get the piano right now."
Soon Zhang Jixiang fetched the piano, and Yun Ran did not show any haste this time. During this period, she spent a lot of money to find out all Xiao Ce's deeds, and learned that the emperor did not like women in the past.
Even when someone like Qin Zhao entered the palace, it took a long time before he had the chance to sleep with him. She also heard about the process of Qin Zhao entering the palace, and she didn't dare to look down on Qin Zhao.
Since Qin Zhao can endure loneliness and capture Xiao Ce's heart bit by bit, she can also follow suit. As long as she seizes an opportunity in the future, she can reverse the decline.
"Let me, my concubine, play the piano for my two sisters." Yun Ran suggested, looking dignified and majestic.
Xiao Ce looked at Yun Ran after hearing this and felt that Yun Ran's tone of voice was comforting.
"Correct." Xiao Ce waved his dragon sleeve lightly.
Yun Ran's eyes flashed slightly, and if there was no accident, it would be impossible for her to sleep with her tonight?
The emperor was still wearing a dragon robe. This was because he had summoned them to come over on a temporary basis, and a total of three people were invited to come over. This was not like the emperor's temperament.
Next, she didn't dare to think about it and focused on playing the piano.
As soon as Yun Ran's piano music came out, Xiao Ce fixed his gaze.
When Yun Ran saw this detail, he lowered his head and concentrated more on playing the piece as perfectly as possible.
The two newlyweds who were dancing thought they had seized the opportunity. Unexpectedly, the emperor did not look at them at all during this period, and his attention was all on Yun Ran. They couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
At first glance, Xiao Ce's attention was indeed on Yun Ran, but what he remembered was Qin Zhao playing the piano today.
When Qin Zhaogang played, the sound of the piano was wrong by two beats, and the sound was a little obscure and unremarkable, but later he got better and better as he played. In particular, Qin Zhao had a high understanding of the music and could connect people with the meaning of the music, easily bringing people into the music.
Confused and fascinated.
Yun Ran is just the opposite.
Her piano skills were excellent at the beginning, but later on her performance became stable, but the artistic conception was always a little less interesting. He could listen calmly, but he would not be led into the mood of the music.
I don’t know if it’s because Qin Zhao’s piano skills are really better than Yun Ran’s, or because he thinks Qin Zhao is better than others in everything.
Just like Yun Ran's beauty is at its peak, but if she really wants to compare with Qin Zhao, she still falls short.
How could Yun Ran know that Xiao Ce would compare him with Qin Zhao when he played such a piece of music?
After she finished playing the song, she looked at Xiao Ce and said in a crisp voice: "I'm sorry for you."
Xiao Ce opened his lips indifferently: "It's far from satisfactory."
The soft smile on Yun Ran's lips was a little stiff at this moment, and it took a while for her to force a smile: "The emperor said so."
A man like the emperor has never heard of any kind of piano skills. If he says it is not satisfactory, it must be because her piano skills are not enough to impress him.
"The imperial concubine played a piece of music today. It sounded simple and cheerful, but it easily relaxed my mood. This is the imperial concubine's ability." Xiao Ce said the truth again at this time.
He was originally in a rage, but he didn't know that Qin Zhao played the piano specifically to calm his anger, and she did it to prevent him from doing anything glib.
When Yun Ran heard the "unsatisfactory" comment before, her expression was not good. Now she heard Xiao Ce talk about the imperial concubine and said that she was not as good as Qin Zhao, which made her even more embarrassed.
But after all, it was not the time when she first entered the palace. This time she had a new idea: "What the emperor said is, how can I compare with Sister Qin's love for music? In the future, I will have to pay more attention to Sister Qin."
Just learn and learn.”
That's right, starting from tomorrow, she will often go to Qin Zhao's place. Aren't there more opportunities to see Xiao Ce in this way?
Opportunities should be earned by oneself, not given by others.
This time, Yun Ran was self-aware: "I know that the emperor usually rests early, so I will not disturb the emperor. I will leave."
She glanced at Xiao Ce with her beautiful eyes, her eyes changing, and her amorous feelings suddenly appeared.
Xiao Ce, however, was satisfied with Yun Ran's knowledge: "Step back."
Yun Ran said eloquently: "Yes, the emperor would have arranged it earlier."
When she turned around, the hem of her skirt showed a beautiful curve, and her movements were full of elegance, and her grace was astonishingly beautiful.
Zhang Jixiang couldn't help but take a second look, sighing secretly that beauty is beauty, and people can't take their eyes away.
Xiao Ce watched Yun Ran walk away with a calm expression, but no unnecessary expression.
Zhang Jixiang saw Xiao Ce's expression and thought that his master was cold and cold, and he had such a dull reaction when faced with a stunning beauty like Yun Ran.
He thought what would happen tonight.
Seeing Yun Ran leave, Yang Yunv and Lan Baolin knew that they had no chance to sleep with him tonight, so they stepped back one by one and left the Yangxin Hall.
As soon as the beauty left, the palace, which was bustling just now, became quiet.
Xiao Ce was still sitting on the dragon chair, but his heart was not at peace.
He once again confirmed that Qin Zhao was different from other women. No matter how beautiful Yun Ran was, he still felt that Yun Ran was not as good as Qin Zhao in everything. Even though it was Yun Ran in front of him, he still thought of that woman Qin Zhao.
"Your Majesty, why don't we arrange it earlier?" Zhang Jixiang couldn't help but feel worried when he saw Xiao Ce sitting still for half an hour, as if he was petrified.
"Zhang Jixiang, do you think it's wrong for me to dote on the imperial concubine?" Xiao Ce's voice was a little tight.
Zhang Jixiang didn't know why Xiao Ce asked this question. He hesitated for a moment and then said: "The emperor is the emperor. No one can comment on who he wants to favor or who he wants to favor exclusively."
So what if it’s a special concubine? As long as the emperor likes it.
In the past, the Queen Mother was blocking her, but now that the Queen Mother's freedom has been restricted, naturally no one will say anything wrong about the Emperor.
Xiao Ce was immersed in his own thoughts and said no more.
The news that Zhang Jixiang had found three new people to serve in the Yangxin Palace was widely circulated at that time, and it soon overshadowed the rumors that Empress Dowager Guo was seriously ill.
There was a lot of noise in Jinyang Palace, and Qin Zhao naturally heard it.
Everyone is talking about how Xiao Ce has become enlightened, but suddenly he ordered three newcomers to sleep with him. This kind of thing is too ridiculous.
