I see You Lian is the ally

Chapter 74

Hua Jiao's heart slowly calmed down, his whole body was immersed in the music, as if he had never heard of anything outside of him.

Her finger was cut when the string broke just now, but she acted as if nothing had happened, as if she didn't feel the pain, her fingers frantically plucked the string, playing a grand and lingering musical sound.

Beads of blood continued to drip from her fingers, and because her fingers frantically plucked the strings, the blood splashed along with the music.

Yu Taiqing frowned, tilted the cup in his hand, and the tea spilled into his hand, he still didn't know it.

Princess Jing'an glanced at Yu Taiqing, stretched out her fingers to straighten his teacup, pursed her lips and smiled softly.

Kang Wang was stunned, raised his hand and wanted to order Huajiao to stop, but he couldn't bear to interrupt such a beautiful music, and was in a dilemma for a while.He frowned again, and sighed softly again: "Oh, you can play so well, don't waste your fingers."

End of song.

The fingers drawn in the corner moved away from the strings of the pipa, glanced at the bloody fingers, the long sleeves hung down to cover the fingers, and said softly: "Jiang is not talented, he made a fool of himself in front of you."

She held the pipa and got up to salute, then handed the pipa to one side of the palace, and said apologetically: "Sorry, the pipa may need to be cleaned."

The palace people hurriedly bowed down.

Hua Jiao no longer looked at the people in the audience, and went straight back to his seat.

Because the strings of the qin broke when Huajiao was playing, and he played a few wrong notes during the period, therefore, the title of "Qin Jue" naturally fell on Zheng Min's head.

King Kang felt that it was a pity, and he sighed and said: "If Lady Jiang hadn't plucked the strings of the qin, this qin would definitely belong to her. What a pity."

Princess Jing'an nodded in agreement: "I just saw sweat on her forehead and trembling fingers when she was playing the piano. I think Mrs. Jiang is a cowardly person, and she must have been frightened to make mistakes. However, when her fingers were cut, And it’s also good to be able to play the song to the end when one string is broken.”

As Princess Jing'an said, she turned her head and asked Yu Taiqing beside her, "Cousin, what do you think?"

Mrs. Yu put down the cup in her hand in complete dismay, took out a towel from the armhole, and slowly wiped the tea on her fingers, as if she couldn't sit here without doing something.

Princess Jing'an asked another question, and when he realized it, a mocking smile rose from the corner of his lips, and he said slowly: "Maybe it's not because of timidity and fright, but because of a guilty conscience."

"Guilty?" Kang Wang turned his head to look at Yu Taiqing unexpectedly, and asked, "How do you say this, why is Lady Jiang so guilty?"

But Yu Taiqing stopped talking, her handsome face seemed to be covered with a layer of ice, extremely clear.

The competition has ended. This year's five masters are Kong Yu, the master of poetry, Cui Lanshu, the master of painting, Xiao Qiukui, the master of chess, Xue Jin, the master of song, and Zheng Min, the master of piano.

King Kang asked Yu Taiqing in a low voice: "Taiqing, do you have a lady in your heart?"

Yu Taiqing was too lazy to talk to King Kang, and said casually: "No."

Princess Jing'an stretched out her hands to support the hair bun, pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Why not, I just saw you staring at the little lady all the time."

Kang Wang asked: "Who, who did he see?"

Princess Jing'an smiled but did not answer.

King Kang snorted, raised his eyebrows and said, "I don't believe it. A person like him with his eyes above his head even refused Mrs. Cui's marriage. Who do you think he can look up to?"

Princess Jing'an glanced at King Kang and asked, "Who are you looking at again?"

Kang Wang hesitated for a while and said: "The one who can catch my eyes is naturally someone with excellent piano skills. Let me take a look."

While talking, it was time for lunch.

Princess Jing'an announced the opening of the banquet, and the palace people presented the delicious delicacies that had been prepared, and ordered the ladies in the palace to play music and dance to add to the fun.

Xuexiu originally thought that Huajiao's piano skills were not good, so she didn't think it was a pity, but she was a little bit unwilling to lose to Zheng Min for Huajiao.She took out a veil to bind the fingers of the painting corner, and asked curiously: "Lady, you played the piano well at first, why did you suddenly break the strings, and your face is still a little red."

Hua Jiao absent-mindedly groaned, then suddenly realized what Xue Xiu said, and asked in surprise, "Am I blushing?"

Xue Xiu repeatedly nodded.

Hua Jiao couldn't help stretching out his hand to caress his cheek, only to feel that his cheek was still a little hot.She stretched out her hand to fan the wind, and said with a light smile, "There is no ventilation in this hall, it's so hot that I can't breathe."

The food at the banquet was all made by the royal chef in the palace, but the painted corners did not taste the taste, and after using it for a while, remembering that I have come here today, I have not enjoyed the flowers, so I put down the chopsticks and said to Xuexiu: "This The hall is too stuffy, we might as well go out for a walk."

The sky is clear and the sun is bright outside, and the flowers are flourishing.It's not like the bustle of people in the main hall, but quiet and distant, where the eyebrows are lowered, there are green grasses, and when you raise your eyes, there are brocade flowers.

There are many kinds of peonies in the garden. The snow-colored peonies are "luminous white" which is as clear as jade, and "Zhuangyuan red" which is as bright as vermilion, as well as Gejin, Yaohuang and Lvxiangqiu.

Each flower is as big as a bowl, beautiful and graceful.

While walking and admiring the flowers, the two met Zheng Min and Kong Yu head-on.

Kong Yu got the Poetry Jue today, and got his wish again. Seeing Hua Jiao making a fool of himself while playing, he smiled proudly when he saw her, his eyes fell on Hua Jiao's fingers, and asked with concern: "Ms. The pipa strings are made of snow silkworm silk, slender and tough, but also sharp, are your hands okay? Why are you so stubborn, you have to finish playing when your hands are hurt.”

As she spoke, she stretched out her hand to caress the necklace on her neck, and saw a red treasure necklace hanging from the golden necklace, shining brightly in the sunlight.

Huajiao said with a smile: "Ms. Confucius misses me, my hands are fine. Congratulations to Mrs. Kong for getting the best poetry." He glanced at Zheng Min again and said, "Congratulations to Mrs. Zheng for getting the best piano."

Zheng Min frowned slightly.

Although she and Hua Jiao had never gotten along since they were young, every time Hua Jiao saw her, it was sister Min and Chang Min who were at odds with her, even when they fought.Now when she heard her calling Mrs. Zheng, Liu Mei immediately raised her eyebrows.

"I didn't expect that your piano skills are so poor now that you would play the wrong note." She said bitterly.

The corner of the picture smiled brightly: "In this way, Mrs. Zheng can beat me."

She didn't want to deal with the two of them anymore, so she put on her snow sleeves and walked along the path to the depths of the flowers.

The peonies in this garden have not been pruned, and each plant is as tall as a person. The branches are covered with peony flowers, with overlapping petals, and the fragrance is tangy.

Huajiao bent down and approached a peony, just about to smell it, a hand suddenly stretched out from the side, grabbed her wrist and yanked her suddenly, and dragged her behind the peony.

Away from the winding path, you are surrounded by peonies, surrounded by peony trees.The person who dragged her in let go of her hand now, and stood quietly beside the flower plant, with a chill on his jade-like face.
