After the rebirth, the queen took the Meiqiang tragedy script

Chapter 171 Drunkenness
Ye Qinghuai was taken aback for a moment.

Although there is no prohibition on concubines drinking alcohol in the palace, it is rare to see concubines drinking alcohol in the harem except at palace banquets.

One is because few women like to drink alcohol, and the other is because drinking is easy to lose their temper.

What's more, in Ye Qinghuai's impression, Chen Julian was a dignified, dignified, and indifferent lady from a great family. A person like her really had nothing to do with drinking.

While Ye Qinghuai was in amazement, he only heard the sound of the zither making a tearing silk, like a mountain torrent pouring down, and then stopped abruptly.

After Chen Julian finished playing the last note, there was a brief pause in mid-air, and then she let it go.Her whole body also slowly softened with the hand that was put down.

"Tan Qiu, have you brought the wine?" She turned around and asked.

That voice was not as gentle as her usual, it was a little drunk, with a touch of inexplicable arrogance.

Tan Qiu, who was kneeling on the ground, didn't dare to respond, but secretly raised his eyes to look at the emperor at the door with terrified eyes.

Chen Julian's expression was a little confused. Seeing that she was silent, he followed her gaze and saw Ye Qinghuai in black uniform.

Most of her hazy drunken eyes woke up in an instant.

The two looked at each other briefly, then Chen Julian looked away, got up and walked out from behind the piano, and saluted Ye Qinghuai.

Although she looked a little flustered, her demeanor was still graceful and pleasing to the eye.

"Good song." Ye Qinghuai applauded lightly, and asked very kindly, "This is the first time I've heard Guzheng's "Zhengqian Song". Did you change it yourself?"

Chen Julian replied: "The mere clumsiness makes His Majesty laugh."

She returned to her gentle and pleasant appearance in the past, and her voice became softer.

Ye Qinghuai walked up to the court lady Tan Qiu, bent down to pick up the wine jar in front of her, and took a closer look at it.

It is a flower carving.

"You don't mind drinking a pot of wine from you, do you?" Ye Qinghuai asked Chen Julian very politely.

Chen Julian lowered her head, bowed her knees and bowed again, saying: "I dare not."

"Go get a bowl." Ye Qinghuai said to Tan Qiu.

The little maid got up in shock, and trotted to the East Kitchen in response.

Ye Qinghuai raised the hem of her clothes and sat on the ground on the steps in front of the main hall.

She looked at Chen Julian with great interest, and said: "I want to listen to the imperial concubine play one more piece. Can you play "Will Enter the Wine"?"

Chen Julian looked at her, a little surprised.

She was worried that the emperor would punish her for being drunk in the palace as a noble concubine, but she didn't expect the emperor to ask her to play the most popular persuading song in Dajing.

This song is not like "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix" and "Yangchun Baixue", which are court music, but a song that is widely circulated among the people, especially in Goulan restaurants. .

Naturally, Chen Julian had never learned such a tune in piano class.

But she herself likes this song very much, and once secretly tried to compile several versions of the song.

Just never played in front of people.

Seeing the emperor asking now, she looked at Ye Qinghuai with hesitation in her heart.

"Will you?" Ye Qinghuai asked again, with a gentle smile in his eyes.

Chen Julian lowered his head, and replied: "That concubine is making a fool of herself."

Because she was sitting on a stone bench and the stone bench was fixed to the ground, when she was playing, she could only face the emperor with her back.

But maybe it was precisely because she couldn't see the emperor that she was able to let go.Although she was a little timid at first, Chen Julian soon entered the state, and every note was neat and tidy, without any coyness.

Ye Qinghuai sat on the ground, propping her head on her knee with one hand, looking at Chen Julian's yellow back, drinking a drink alone from time to time.

There is no wind tonight.

But Ye Qinghuai felt that there was a wind blowing in this small courtyard, and the wind filled Chen Julian's sleeves fluttering up and down, making her look like a bird fluttering its wings.

A bird that shouldn't be imprisoned in this high wall.

That wrist, so slender as if it could be broken with a strong grip, is composing the most sonorous movement in the world at this moment.

In the sound of the piano, there is a wanton and free and easy laughter, a heroic spirit, and even a prosperous age of fiery trees and silver flowers.

Ye Qinghuai suddenly remembered the landscape painted by Chen Julian that she saw in Chen Mansion years ago.

That painting is just like this piece of music, magnificent and magnificent, it doesn't seem to come from the hand of a daughter.

It's just that she forgot.

She only remembered that she was Chen Yuansi's granddaughter.

This unignorable identity filled Ye Qinghuai's field of vision, so that she couldn't see Chen Julian himself at all.

Ye Qinghuai married Chen Yuansi's granddaughter, and it didn't matter to Ye Qinghuai whether she was Chen Julian or Chen Lianju.

It wasn't until this moment that Ye Qinghuai suddenly realized that the woman in front of her was not only Chen Yuansi's granddaughter, but also the number one talented woman in the capital.She once fell in love with her paintings at a glance.

A song is played.

"This wine has a lot of stamina." Ye Qinghuai weighed the wine bowl in his hand and said, "This is the first time I know that the imperial concubine has such a large amount of wine."

Chen Julian turned around and looked down at her, without saying a word, like a child who did something wrong, waiting for reprimand.

Ye Qinghuai didn't mean to reprimand, seeing that Chen Julian didn't speak, she asked again: "Why are you drinking alone here?"

Chen Julian paused, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she just lowered her head even lower.

Ye Qinghuai then turned to Tan Qiu who was at the side, and asked, "Why is your master drinking alcohol today?"

Tan Qiu is Chen Julian's personal maid brought into the palace from the Chen residence, and she has a much closer relationship with her. When Ye Qinghuai asked her, she looked at Chen Julian in Xi'an, but the other party lowered her head and did not look at her.

The little girl said anxiously: "Your Majesty, today is your mother's birthday."

Ye Qinghuai was taken aback, and said, "You and Shu Yao have the same birthday?"

Still hanging her head, Chen Julian replied, "Yes. The concubine's birthday is also on the third day of August."

Ye Qinghuai suddenly realized.

No wonder she was taciturn when watching the play today, and left in a hurry after the performance.Presumably there is some anger in it.

"It's because I was negligent. Alas, the Ministry of Internal Affairs is also the same. Why didn't you remind me of such a big matter?" Ye Qinghuai said angrily.

After being annoyed, she touched her whole body again, but found that she had nothing on her body except the personal jade pendant left to her by Queen Mother Jingmin and the gold medal of the first emperor used to call Yingwei.

Needless to say, the gold medal cannot be given away.And that jade pendant was also returned to her by Chen Julian, so naturally she couldn't take it out as a gift.

Ye Qinghuai was a little embarrassed.Not only did she ignore the imperial concubine's birthday, but she also asked her to celebrate the princess's birthday together, and at this moment, she couldn't even come up with a gift to make up for it.
