He Liancheng just glanced at Concubine Hui and didn't take her seriously at all, because in his heart, no one could match Na'er's piano skills.
The civil and military officials had already applauded like thunder. In the midst of everyone's applause, Concubine Hui Yingying stepped onto the high platform.
Dressed in white, her lotus steps are like flowers, like a flying fairy from the sky. She has a sense of indifference, neither far nor near, but blends in between heaven and earth, and has a clear spirit coming out of the world.
Soon, after Concubine Hui sat down, she took the lei qin from Lu Yi's hand, concentrated her thoughts on it, and prepared to place her hand on the qin.
At this time, the main hall of Nuo University was so quiet that not even a needle could be heard. Everyone was looking forward to it. Most people hoped that the imperial concubine, with her superb piano skills, could defeat Princess Helena in one fell swoop and bring glory to the Wen and Yuan dynasties. Only Situ
Yan sneered at the corner of her lips, hoping that if she could also play the vulgar piano with inferior skills, then the emperor would hate her even more.
Although Helena still felt disdain in her heart, seeing everyone's serious expressions, she couldn't be too proud and still sat with an elegant posture.
Concubine Hui lightly tried her tone. At this moment, in a secret place not far from everyone, Yun Jingchu gathered her mind and concentrated on Lei Qin. The position she chose happened to be relatively close to Concubine Hui.
, so as long as people don’t pay too much attention, I believe they won’t find that it’s not Concubine Hui playing the piano.
The melodious sound of the piano suddenly turned, like running water slipping through the fingers, as light as dancing water splashes. I never thought that the lei qin could produce such a beautiful sound, as if it had some kind of magic power, and the light notes were like
Each one jumped like a sad elf and fell into the hearts of everyone at the banquet. Even Heliancheng and Helena were startled at the same time, inexplicably attracted.
The sound of the piano completely led people into the melancholy of the moonlit night, and they couldn't help themselves. The piano was like a magic spell, calming everyone's minds. They closed their eyes slightly and enjoyed the pleasure of the senses. The breeze blew on their faces and the water rippled.
The ripples and the wind blew down the path of flowers, and suddenly a light song began to sing, like the sound of love in the mountains, and like the song of a warbler, which moved people's hearts.
If Princess Helena's music can make people feel like they are in nature, then Concubine Hui's music is even better, making people feel like they are in a fairyland on earth.
Yu Wenxuan's eyes were full of surprise. He had heard this song before. Could it be a coincidence? Thinking of this, he looked at Concubine Hui and listened to the song carefully, as if he wanted to find some clues from it. Suddenly, he turned his gaze
When he went to another place, while everyone was intoxicated, he stood up and walked in the other direction.
Elsewhere, Yun Jingchu was playing selflessly, her thoughts flying back to the past. This piece of music was something her mother must let her learn, and she was also told not to play it easily. But after she learned it, the only thing she could do was
She played it once in the palace, that was the night the emperor died. Inexplicably, her eyes couldn't help but ignite mist. At the end, tears finally couldn't help but fall down her face. She really
I miss the emperor a lot, I miss my mother, I miss those lost relatives...
There was no sound in the entire hall for a long time, until Concubine Hui Yingying stood up, gracefully walked to the stage, looked at Helena with a smile, and said softly: "Princess, do you think the sound of my piano, Wen Yuan, can still be heard?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the whole hall burst into thunderous applause. This time it was truly touching applause. The princes, ministers, civil and military officials couldn't help but admire him.
"The imperial concubine's piano music is truly unparalleled in the world."
"Yes, after all, it was Prime Minister Fang who taught his daughter well."
Fang Shijing listened to everyone's compliments with a smile on his face, but another thought ignited in his heart. After all, Huier couldn't play the leiqin at all, so who played it?
Helena came back to her senses from the sound of the piano just now, suppressed her unconvinced emotions, stood up and faced Concubine Hui, put her hands on her chest and saluted Concubine Hui, and said in a pretentious and generous manner: "Na'er to the empress."
I extend my highest respect, it is indeed the style of a great country, my father has indeed not misjudged me, and I will ask your concubine to give me more advice in the future."
"Princess, you're welcome." Concubine Hui nodded and slowly walked down the high platform. Luyi quickly went up and took down Lei Qin. The crowd burst into applause again. Heliancheng's face changed slightly. It was not because Helena was defeated.
But because of this piece of music, a pair of cold eyes looked at Concubine Hui again, thinking secretly in her heart, it seemed that she must find an opportunity to ask Concubine Hui why she played this piece of music.
The coldness dissipated from Yu Wenrui's cold and handsome face high up, and the fleeting interest disappeared. The stars in his glazed eyes were as big as the deep night sky, deep and far away, hiding endless light. All he could see was his tall body.
He stood up, walked to Concubine Hui, and actually took her hand in public, led her to a high seat, and asked her to sit next to him.
And Situ Yan's expression could no longer be hidden. You must know that this time Concubine Hui won not only Helena, but also herself. Thinking of this, the resentment in her heart suddenly burst out. She was not worried about losing to Concubine Hui like this, especially when she saw the emperor.
Having Concubine Hui sit next to her, on an equal footing with him, made her anger grow stronger...
"Hui'er's piano is indeed a masterpiece. What reward do you want? May I give it to you?" Yu Wenrui looked at Concubine Hui in a rare good mood and asked very generously.
Yu Wenrui's words did not make Concubine Hui happy. She subconsciously touched her belly with her thin hand, and finally shook her head lightly and said, "I don't need anything, I thank the emperor for the reward."
As soon as these words were spoken, Yu Wenrui felt an unspoken emotion for Concubine Hui. A trace of thought passed through his deep eyes, and a smile appeared. The smile made people feel elusive. He held Concubine Hui's hand with his big hand, and there was no
To let go, he raised his handsome face slightly, looked at He Liancheng and Helena, and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, since Emperor Qitian is so sincere, I will never let him down. But I
I never force anyone to do anything, as long as the princess tells her who she is, no matter who it is, I will marry her immediately."
As soon as the emperor finished speaking, everyone turned their attention to Helena. However, Helena's face was covered by a bead curtain, and her true expression could not be seen. She glanced at the seat opposite her through the bead curtain and found that something was wrong.
When he knew that no one was there, his initially wavering heart suddenly froze, and he slowly walked to a higher place and whispered: "Your Majesty, please lift the bead curtain for Na'er..."
As soon as these words were said, everyone immediately understood Helena's choice, and Yuwen Rui no longer refused this time, because after Concubine Hui's show of power just now, I believe that even if this princess enters the palace, her arrogance will naturally be suppressed.
"I will make Princess Helena of the Kingdom of Heaven a first-class royal concubine, and give her the title Lotus Concubine." Yuwen Rui said, stood up, stopped in front of Helena, slowly stretched out his big hand, and wiped the beads on Helena's face.
The curtain was gently opened, revealing a pair of bluish eyes that were even more radiant against the willow eyebrows. There was a slight splash of rouge on the face, and the little cherry mouth trembled slightly, giving people a sense of mystery.
What a peerless beauty, Yu Wenrui's eyes flashed with surprise, especially those blue eyes, which made him even more amazed.
Situ Yan and Concubine Hui were also surprised by Helena's appearance, especially Situ Yan. She was already a rare beauty, but they were all shocked by Helena's appearance, and their hearts became inexplicably sweet.
He Liancheng watched everyone's reaction with satisfaction. In fact, few people had seen Na'er's face, just to arouse everyone's curiosity. Besides, Na'er's appearance was already amazingly beautiful.
Helena raised her lips and smiled, leaned towards Yuwen Rui, and said softly: "I thank you, Your Majesty."
Yu Wenrui immediately helped her up, with tenderness in his eyes, and then he was in a good mood and said with a smile: "Eunuch Xu declares my will."
"Princess Helena listens to the decree! It is destined to be carried by heaven, the emperor decreed, Princess Qi Guo..."
Helena stood aside quietly, her eyes fell on the still empty seat, and she smiled very ironically. After all, she still couldn't choose the one she loved. When Eunuch Xu read the last sentence of the imperial edict, "Choose a day to enter the palace," her smile
Even more cool, yes, from today on, she is no longer Princess Helena, but Wenyuan’s Concubine Lotus...
Not far away at this time, Yun Jingchu was sitting feebly on the stone bench. He had just finished playing the song and seemed to have exhausted his last bit of strength.
The night wind blew in this quiet night, ruthlessly passing over her face. Under the moonlight, she looked so pale. People said that everything goes by in the wind. I don't know how heartache she feels at this moment.
Will it disappear with the wind?
She raised her head and looked at the sky full of stars. It is said that people will turn into stars when they die. I wonder which star is her relative who died unjustly and which star is her poor prince.
When she was so quiet, there was a slight pain in her heart. She raised her head, opened her eyes wide, looked at the beautiful night sky, and inexplicably spoke the words in her heart.
"Shen Tianjiao, look at you, what do you look like now?!" Pointing his thin finger at the sky, he said sternly: "Don't cry!"
He stretched out his hand to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes, and kept telling himself not to cry, not to cry, but tears still kept pouring out of his eyes.
Shen Tianjiao, you are so useless!
It was useless for her. Her courage and strength just now broke down at this moment. She allowed herself to have a good cry.
At this moment, little did he know that what she just said was like a magic spell, causing the heart of the person who had been standing behind her to beat suddenly, and they couldn't help but make heavy footsteps. Yun Jingchu immediately turned around and saw the person standing there.
The tall figure's eyes couldn't help but widen, and his thin lips trembled slightly, but he couldn't make a sound for a long time.
When he was listening to that piece of music just now, he thought of Shen Tianjiao in the past. So when he listened to the sound of the piano, he found something was wrong, so he walked out and unexpectedly saw Yun Jingchu playing. Just when he was shocked,
Suddenly listening to Yun Jingchu's words, Yu Wenxuan instantly felt a heavy object hit his heart hard, his breathing seemed to become stagnant, and he stood motionless in place, unable to move any more...
