Seeing what Xianyue said, Yongrong had no choice but to agree. He sat down in the embroidered pier brought by the palace servants and tried to play two pianos respectively. Yongcang waited wholeheartedly for Xianyue to persuade Yongrong, but the latter actually let him
Yong Rong tried the piano, which really made him anxious. He couldn't help but said: "Empress Huang..."
Xianyue glanced at him and said calmly: "We will wait until your sixth brother has tried the piano."
Hearing this, Yong Rong had no choice but to swallow his words. After a while, Yong Rong stood up after trying the piano and said: "Returning to the emperor, the piano has nine virtues, but generally it can be considered a good piano if it can gather five virtues."
, and this new piano has the five virtues of quietness, transparency, roundness, smoothness, clarity and evenness, which is really good.
If the luthier's skills were more advanced, this qin could even be handed down from generation to generation. As for the sound of the old qin, although it is still clear, it is far from comparable to the new one. Therefore, in my opinion, the new qin is more suitable for the Queen's wife to play;
If the emperor is unwilling to throw away the old Qin, she can use it as a display."
Xianyue nodded slightly and said: "Listening to what you said, it seems that the new piano is indeed ready."
Yongxing lowered his eyes and stroked the strings of the new harp, and said with a smile: "That's true. With all due respect, the emperor thinks the old harp is good because of her nostalgia for the past. Although nostalgia for the past is not a bad thing, sometimes
, you should still try the new piano, I believe that as long as you adapt to it, this new piano will be more suitable for the Queen."
"Okay, I will listen to you and use this new piano to play in the future." After ordering the palace servants to move the piano down, Xianyue said with some emotion: "Not only are things new and good, but so are people.
Yongrong, do you think so?"
Although Yong Rong felt that Xianyue's words were a bit strange, he didn't think much about it and followed her words and said, "The Queen is right."
Xianyue looked at him and said meaningfully: "The sixth elder brother is the emperor's biological son, the son of the dragon and the phoenix grandson. Not to mention the direct descendant of Fujin, even the concubine Fujin and even Princess are all carefully selected by this palace and the emperor. Not only
She must have outstanding looks, talents and virtues, and she must have a clean family background and have never been married, even if she has been engaged to someone before, let alone a woman who has already been married."
Yong Rong was shocked, quickly raised his head and glanced at Yong Xin, and immediately said: "Did the Queen's mother hear something?"
"It doesn't matter what I heard. What matters is what Brother Six thinks in his heart. Wei Xiuyan is just like the old piano just now. No matter how good it was before, it can't be compared with the new one, let alone you, the emperor's nobleman.
.”
Yong Rong gritted his teeth, cupped his hands and said, "I'm sorry to say it boldly, but it's not appropriate for the Emperor's wife to use the harp as a metaphor for people. People have seven emotions and six desires, good and bad, and are far more complicated than the harp. Of course Miss Wei Er married
She is extraordinary, but she is kind and virtuous, far better than those unruly, arrogant and indulgent so-called celebrities."
Yongxun couldn't help but said: "Brother Six, you have only met Wei Xiuyan a few times, how do you know that she is kind and virtuous? Maybe she is sinister and has a vicious heart?"
There was a hint of displeasure on Yong Rong's face as he said: "Twelve brothers said that I don't know who Miss Wei Er is, so how do you know? It's really unfair to make such rude remarks."
Without waiting for Yongxun to speak, Xianyue said: "Whether Wei Xiuyan is kind or vicious, it has nothing to do with you Yongrong, and you don't need to go to the emperor to make a statement for her. She will leave the palace when she should.
"
Yong Rong said eagerly: "Empress Huang, she just wants to stay with your concubine for a few more days to express the relationship between sisters. This request is not excessive, why can't we fulfill it?"
"Then do you know how many concubines in the harem have not seen their families for ten or even twenty years? If they come to beg you, will you also help them present their love to the emperor?"
Yong Rong was speechless for a moment when she asked him. After a while, he finally said: "It's fine if I haven't met my son. If I have seen him, I really can't ignore him. As for Miss Wei Er... I have no other thoughts."
Xianyue sighed softly, held Qi Kuan's hand and stood up and walked to Yong Rong, "Although you were not born by me, I watched you grow up. I also know your temperament well;
Ever since you became sensible, you have never dared to make any demands to your Emperor Amma, even when you are of marriageable age.
At this age, your Majesty Ama has been busy with state affairs, so you have not proposed marriage for a long time, and you have not said a word, leaving it to your Majesty Ama's arrangements. But now, for a woman who has only met twice, you have gone to the Yangxin Palace to express your opinions.
There is no other thought... Do you think I will believe it?"
Yong Rong bit his lip hard and mustered up the courage to say, "What if... my son really likes Wei Xiuyan?"
Xianyue looked serious and said: "You'd better give up this idea immediately."
Yong Rong said excitedly: "Why, does the Queen also think that Wei Xiuyan is a sinister and vicious person as Yong Rong said?"
"I don't know her well enough, so I don't dare to make any judgments. However, I just said that a woman who can enter the Liubeile Mansion must have a clean life experience and not have a trace of blemish. Wei Xiuyan obviously does not meet this requirement.
Neither I nor the emperor will agree to her entering the palace."
"But..." Before Yongrong could continue, Xianyue said: "No, but, you said that it is inappropriate for me to use the harp as a metaphor for people, but I feel that the old harp is still usable, but the old man cannot be used."
.”
When Yong Rong heard this, he said angrily: "The Queen's remarks are clearly biased against Wei Xiuyan."
Xianyue stared at him for a moment and said: "What about you? Why do you care so much about Wei Xiuyan?" Without waiting for Yongrong to say anything, she said again: "Don't talk to me about being kind and virtuous.
Because of the fate, it is impossible to see the true face of a person clearly."
"Because..." Yong Rong's eyes flickered. What attracted him to Wei Xiuyan was naturally her beautiful and flawless face. However, saying this would definitely arouse Xian Yue's dissatisfaction, so she did not continue.
Xianyue saw what he was thinking and said cryptically: "Everyone likes beauty, but some can be possessed, and some can only be seen from a distance." After a moment of pause, she emphasized her tone, "If you really accept Wei Xiuyan today, the whole court will
What will the Civil and Military Council say, and what will the people of the world discuss? Yongrong, do you really want to risk the world and speak out?"
Yong Rong's heart trembled when she said that. He has never had any ideas since he was a child. Those words just now were the boldest words in his life. Now listening to Xianyue's words, he couldn't help but feel withdrawn. He lowered his head and said
: "My son... I just mentioned it casually. I don't really want to accept Wei Xiuyan as Fujin."
Xianyue nodded slowly and said: "That's good. You have to remember that you are a descendant of the royal family. You must not accept a widow who is older than you into the palace. Otherwise, if word spreads, not only you, but also this palace and the emperor will be criticized by the world.
People make it a joke. Maybe now you feel that I am deliberately making things difficult for you, and you feel resentful, but as time goes by, you will understand how hard I have worked hard today."
"I don't dare!" As he said this, he said helplessly: "My son will remember the teachings of the emperor. As for the emperor's side..." He gritted his teeth slightly and said: "I will not go again.
