The Qianyuan Hall in the palace was bustling with people. Zhang Qin and other ministers were sitting at the banquet, drinking and mingling with each other. Ye Zhiqiu seemed to prefer this kind of scene. He talked loudly, which occasionally aroused cheers from the crowd. Rows of beauties waved their long sleeves and danced to the sound of drums.
dance
Tuo Jinglie sat in the banquet, just immersed in drinking. The song ended. The beauties came forward and surrounded Ye Zhiqiu and Tuo Jinglie enchantingly.
But Lie knew how to bury his head in drinking and ignore the various temptations thrown by beauties.
Zhang Qin laughed when he saw this scene, "It seems that Master Shi Wen doesn't like beauties but fine wines!"
Tuo Jinglie just smiled dryly and drank the wine in one gulp.
"We are not supposed to be present at this banquet, but we should repay the favor of saving our lives. I specially offer a piece of piano music for the two of them to help them enjoy themselves." Jian Xiao's crisp voice came from the front of the court, and Tuo Jinglie couldn't help but raise his head.
She was wearing a purple dress, holding Yao Qin and standing behind the bead curtain. The bead curtain obscured her appearance, but she still wore a thin veil and Tuo Jinglie stared straight at her and met her gaze.
, Jian Xiao's eyes also stopped on Tuo Jinglie, motionless.
"I have long heard that Empress Jian Jieyu plays the piano very well. If you are lucky enough to hear it today, it will be a good thing," Ye Zhiqiu said with a smile.
"Then I accept it!" Jian Xiao paused for a moment, turned her face slightly and said
Jian Xiao put down the Yao Qin, flicked her fingers, and played the song "The Jade Concubine". This song was originally a flute song, praising the cold, arrogant and elegant plum blossoms, being noble and unyielding. The style of the music is mostly sad and melodious, but Jade Concubine's song under Jian Xiao's Qin is not.
Abandoning the desolation, the song is cheerful and free, like plum blossoms dancing in the wind and snow.
She wanted to turn into a plum blossom and bloom in the palace of General Tuo Jinglie. She just wanted to look at him lightly every day, decorate his courtyard, decorate his home, be the person next to him, and accompany him all the time.
As soon as this song came, all the noise just now quieted down, the wine in the glass fell silent in the music, and all the glitz and excitement just now settled in the sound of the piano.
Tuo Jinglie closed his eyes, and all that appeared in front of his eyes was that snowy scene, where Jian Xiao was spinning around the general's mansion like an elf. He held her tightly, and he lusted after every skin and every kind of Jian Xiao's body.
Taste, every sound, Jian Xiao is like plum blossoms playing in the wind and snow, while she chases the plum blossoms, letting Jian Xiao melt in her chest
Zhang Qin looked sideways at Jian Xiao. He didn't expect Jian Xiao to play a flute song. He seemed to have returned to that night when he and Jian Xiao played the piano and flute. It was the music that saved him and Jian Xiao. He wanted to be with Jian Xiao.
Not only did she follow the music, but she also wanted to accompany her in the days to come and look at Jian Xiao. She closed her eyes intently, not knowing who she was thinking about.
Concubine Li Shu was picking her fingernails in Shangshan Palace, Wan Yun was kneeling under the hall, Concubine Li Shu said unhurriedly: "According to what you said, your Xiaoxiang Tower has been hit by a magic barrier? Just let Jian Jieyu and you get hit.
Are you sick?"
"Yes! Your Majesty!" Wan Yun lowered his head and replied.
"I also heard that he slept unconsciously for several days. Is this true?"
"Seriously! I woke up first after taking the medicine, and Jian Jieyu postponed it for a few more days until those few Tang masters arrived!" Wan Yun continued.
"Well! I also said that I haven't seen you respond in the past few months. It turns out that you are ill and you are back home!" Li Shufei said.
Wan Yun did not leave after withdrawing. Instead, she turned around and went to the firewood shed. She was more familiar with Shangshan Palace than others. The firewood shed was only separated from the main hall by a wall. Whatever was said there could be heard clearly here.
"Xiao Yan'er, which empress do you think caused the poison?" Concubine Li Shu asked.
“It’s hard to tell even small ones.”
"Could it be from that palace?" Concubine Li Shu asked next.
"Probably not"
"We need to check this account carefully so that we can use it in the future!"
After Wan Yun finished listening, he left Shangshan Palace and returned to Xiaoxiang Pavilion. As soon as he arrived in front of the door, he saw Jiaojiao looking to the west with full vigilance. Wan Yun looked over and saw that she was just a little girl. She walked over and patted her gently.
Looking at Jiaojiao, "Is the empress back?"
Jiaojiao shook her head, "Not yet!" After saying that, she and Wan Yun walked back to Xiaoxiang Pavilion, "It's probably almost done. I asked our chef to prepare the porridge."
In Runyu Pavilion, Yue Zhaoyi was holding her belly and humming a tune, "My child, come out quickly. You are the eldest son. You have been born since ancient times. Mom is waiting for you!"
Shuangxi ducked into the palace and when he saw Yue Zhaoyi, he knelt down and said, "This slave has neglected his duty! Please punish me!"
"Didn't you say double insurance is foolproof?"
"I didn't expect that someone could find the antidote!" Shuangxi said, "It's my fault!"
Yue Zhaoyi took a long breath and showed a triumphant smile, "Forget it, I'll teach her a lesson anyway, I will soon be richer than my son, and I won't care about these cats and dogs anymore! Go down! Tell Zhao Huan, this time
Never mind"
"yes!"
"Wait a minute!" Yue Zhaoyi thought of something again, "Can you promise that no one will find out about this matter?" Yue Zhaoyi's eyes revealed a murderous look.
"ensure!"
"That's good! If someone finds out about Runyu Pavilion, don't blame me for ignoring the relationship between master and servant for many years!" Yue Zhaoyi said fiercely
Jian Xiao's song ended, and there was still silence in the Qianyuan Hall, just like the sea before a storm. Suddenly, a person said: "Tonight, I was shocked to hear the sound of Yao Qin, like listening to the fairy music, the plum blossoms suddenly appeared, accompanied by the snow and jade concubines, the blue mountain autumn
"How dark are the clouds?" followed by applause, followed by continuous praise.
Jian Xiao opened her eyes and knew that the person speaking was Ye Zhiqiu. Looking through the bead curtain, she saw that this person was elegant and looked like a talented person.
"Jian Jieyu's piano skills are so good, and we are lucky enough to hear them. It is like listening to fairy music!" "This is a divine song, a beautiful song from the Jade Concubine." "Your Majesty is really lucky to have such a beautiful voice!"
…
The praises came one after another, and Zhang Qin couldn't help but feel complacent. He wanted to make Jian Xiao his concubine, but due to his background, he had to give up. Today's song can be considered as a way for the princes and ministers to get to know her.
Jian Xiao looked in the direction of Tuo Jinglie. He was standing among the crowd without saying a word. Jian Xiao could vaguely see his throat moving. She tried her best to suppress her emotions and saluted Tuo Jinglie.
, she knew that she would not know when or where she would see him again. She had thousands of words to say to him, but she could only tell him with the sound of the piano. I wonder if he could understand them?
"The empress plays Jade Concubine Yin just right. The white snow is the body and the jade is the soul. It turns into plum blossoms and falls on others. It is so beautiful to have such a plum blossom beauty to accompany you!" Tuo Jinglie said, "The empress has just recovered from her jade body, so she should continue to take care of her.
yes"
Jian Xiao nodded slightly, he understood himself, "Thank you Gao Shi for saving your life!"
"This is how it should be!"
This is just the end of a conversation, but it is definitely not the last conversation. Jian Xiao and Tuo Jinglie thought silently in their hearts.
