At this time, a nun standing not far away came forward. She was the one who accompanied Princess Xinping in the assassination. Although her face was pale and looked worse than Princess Xinping, she still whispered: "Mother, Su Zi
The old slave has seen my wife, and her appearance is not bad, but not to mention compared with the princess, even compared with the noble ladies in the capital, she is not very outstanding, and in terms of demeanor, she is just like a village woman."
After hesitating for a moment, she added: "And according to Lao Nu's observation, this woman seems to have never experienced human affairs."
This refers to someone who has never consummated the marriage with her husband and is still a virgin.
Concubine Wu just raised her eyebrows and said nothing.
Mammy seemed to be trying to make amends for her weak reaction when she was assassinated, and continued to please her: "When I came over just now, I just heard the news that the emperor had personally selected a number one scholar, and it was this Su Ziji."
"Your Majesty, this person is a very good candidate. He is young and handsome, literary and elegant, capable of writing and martial arts. He also obviously has the favor of the emperor. The most important thing is that the princess looks at him differently. If she misses this person, she will never meet him again.
It is difficult to find someone who can make the princess care about you."
"As for marrying a wife, she is just the daughter of a country bookstore owner. She is not outstanding, so how can she be worthy of a talented person? Besides, the marriage has not been consummated, so there is no loss for her. You can give her a dowry when the time comes.
Just let her marry someone else."
"I expected that this woman is just the daughter of the owner of a bookstore. If she marries a minor official, she will be grateful."
Concubine Wu nodded thoughtfully: "What you said is not unreasonable. This matter can be considered, but everything must wait until the investigation is completed."
She only had such a precious daughter, and it was a life-long matter, so she couldn't allow any mistakes.
Zhou Mansion
A black shadow passed high on the city wall and landed on Zhou Mansion. Zhou Yao jumped down lightly, climbed through the window and returned to the room, then returned to the couch.
"Miss, are you awake? It's going to be late."
Zhou Yao just got up, washed up, and went to the main courtyard to have dinner with her father and mother. Then she returned to her courtyard with a smile on her face, sat by the window, where the moonlight was slightly shining, and held her cheek with one hand.
, listening to the chatter and laughter of the little maids in the corridor outside the house.
Spring is here, and there are more and more birds. From time to time, you can hear the sweet singing of birds passing through the air.
Her hearing is much sharper now, and sometimes she can even hear the flowers blooming outside in the dead of night.
After watching the brutal duel today, Zhou Yao's face was still thoughtful at this moment. She gently held an eagle feather in her hand, hesitated for a while, and fell on her back on her small couch.
Since the mysterious woman appeared and she accepted her request, her life seems to have become richer, richer than it has been in the past ten years.
Zhou Yao didn't know whether this situation was good or bad.
At this moment, there was a burst of exclamation in the corridor.
One of Ying'er's maids was surprised: "This year's number one scholar is only seventeen years old. He is truly a young man. How does this man's head grow so long that he can pass the examination of those who are dozens of years old?"
Another maid laughed: "In this exam, the competition is about talent, not age... Just like Shao..." After saying the word "Shao", she suddenly realized that the Mr. Shao she wanted to praise was already gone.
Now it was a taboo in the house, so I hurriedly stopped talking.
He changed his words in an obvious way: "If a young man wins Jinshi, which one is not talented? I see, this young master will probably have a bright future in the future."
"What are you talking about?" When Zhou Yao heard this, she couldn't help but stood up and asked: "You just mentioned...the number one pick? How can you know who is the number one pick before the rankings are posted?"
A little maid answered cautiously: "Miss, although the imperial list has not been posted yet, the emperor has chosen the number one candidate, and it is seventeen-year-old Su Huiyuan. The news has spread. My slave, I also heard from Qingsong in the front yard.
Those who serve in the main courtyard of Qingsong heard the master say when chatting with others, because it was not a big deal, so he did not stop others from discussing it. "
"It should have spread first in the high-ranking official's residence in the capital... I don't know if it's true or not..."
But I wasn't very scared at all. After all, this kind of thing did not involve government secrets. It was just something that the entire circle of officials in the capital heard about and started talking about.
After hearing this, Zhou Yao couldn't help but be slightly startled when she thought that even though she was separated from the eagle, the sword energy was still like a rainbow underneath.
It seemed that her reaction was interesting, and the mysterious voice in her heart couldn't help but tease: "Actually, you are only twenty-eight years old now, and you are very suitable for Su Ziji. If you are tempted, it's okay, why do you have to suffer like this every day?
Is it that the spring scenery is not beautiful, or is it that a young man like Su Ziji is not enough to make your heart flutter?"
Zhou Yao did not refute, and asked the maid to step aside and adjust the strings.
"Why don't you speak? Did you tell me the truth?"
"No, I'm just not sure."
"Not sure?" The mysterious female voice was a little surprised. Zhou Yao reached out to hold the piano, and she immediately listened quietly, and soon she was immersed in the music.
Zhou Yao's song is exactly "Half Window Plum Blossoms·Dreams in the Night". She plays the bright and colorful colors of spring, as if spring is coming and a good sleep is coming.
This is actually a song that brings back memories of spring sleep. As the strings played, Zhou Yao couldn't help but be lost in thought. She seemed to see the young man standing not far away smiling at her.
"Shao Lang... Mori Lang..." The affectionate name was held in his lips without calling him out, but even so, the figure still dissipated, disappearing like a bubble in the moonlight.
"When I forget you one day, my heart will definitely be moved, but how can I forget you?"
Zhou Yao closed her eyes and focused all her attention on her fingertips. The sound of the piano poured out in a long and moving way. Everything in the past was like a dream. The gathering was nothing but a dream. She could hardly help but shed tears. She raised her hand.
I went to wipe my tears, but the sound of the piano was interrupted.
The mysterious female voice didn't speak for a long time before asking: "I'm not sure. Do you have no confidence?"
"No, I just don't know how long I can miss you." Asked by the mysterious voice, Zhou Yao found that her cheeks were filled with tears. She quickly wiped them away and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I don't have the piano today."
After practicing, make up for it immediately."
"Farewell, it's been a tiring day today. It doesn't matter if you take a rest. I'll play a few songs." The mysterious female voice said, "I just want to say, with your temperament, it's no wonder that your piano skills can advance rapidly, which surprises me."
"Hey, isn't this your spell?"
"What magic can make your piano skills improve so quickly?" A mysterious female voice took over, and a joyful sound flowed from her fingertips like spring water: "This is just your talent."
Only those who are sincere at heart can be sincere at the piano.
Your ignorance and uncertainty fully illustrate your thoughts, but you have to forget them before you can truly live out your life.
"Come, let me teach you a song - Jiawu Wuyou."
The sound of the piano gradually became brighter and more prosperous. Although Zhou Yao did not need to take the imperial examination, he also knew that this was the reign of Wei Shizu. When he listened attentively, he felt that a volume of history was slowly unfolding, as if it was a prosperous and prosperous age.
"Government by Jiawu is a form of civilized and virtuous governance. It is a person who has the virtue to rule the world and bring peace to all generations."
This song describes the peaceful and prosperous age that everyone longs for, peace, prosperity, and worry-free, but is there an immortal wise king in this world?
How can there be a prosperous age that remains unchanged for a hundred years?
A trace of sadness appeared in Zhou Yao's heart, but at this moment, something suddenly passed by on the roof.
"What is this?" The sound of the piano stopped, and a mysterious voice made a cry.
Zhou Yao asked: "What happened?"
The mysterious voice said: "It seems like a fox has scurryed over. It's really interesting that such a thing can appear in this capital. It's really interesting!"
