Queen's New Clothes

Chapter 77
This sound was clear and crisp, not too loud in the surrounding drum music, but it was enough for the emperor and empress to hear clearly.

Emperor Zhao Yuan gave a funny "oh", looked at Xiao Deyin and said, "Deyin, who is the 'Aunt Xi' you are talking about?"

Wei Deyin hurriedly chewed the pastry in his mouth and swallowed it. Just as he was about to speak, Empress Liu said for her: "Return to Your Majesty, Deyin is talking about the ninth girl from General Su's family, whose name is Su Xi." Yin often went to play with Su Xi. Empress Liu had heard what Madam Jiang had said, and she also knew that the nine girls of the Su family treated Wei Deyin sincerely. The impression is good.

Wei Deyin was robbed by his mother, and he pouted his lips very unconvinced, and hurriedly added: "Aunt Xi plays the piano very well, looks good, and knows a lot of things."

When Empress Liu uttered Su Xi's name, Emperor Zhaoyuan's eyebrows showed a little dark color, and now he heard Wei Deyin's praise so much, he couldn't help laughing: "Since Deyin has said so, how can I not?" Can you call me to have a look. Eunuch Chang, go and invite Miss Su Jiu over."

Eunuch Chang should go.

Fu Yi stood aside, and although she felt uncomfortable after hearing what Wei Deyin said, she still maintained a generous and reserved smile.Of course she was not afraid, she didn't think that Su Xi's piano sound could be better than her own, even if Su Xi had a green qiqin, so what?It's just a show.If Su Xi is really good at playing the piano, why doesn't she play in front of everyone? Isn't it because she knows her own level that she doesn't want to embarrass Mr. Gu Tong?
Thinking of this, Fu Yi felt a little more at ease.

After a while, Su Xi played the piano, and it was clear at a glance who was better and who was worse.The little princess speaks without restraint, and others are not fools.

On this side, Su Xi was resting her chin in boredom, and just now she listened to the piece played by Fu Yi. Not only was she not surprised, but she was a little disappointed.Fu Yi's playing is no different from that of three years ago, and she has not improved at all in the past three years. I don't know if she is deliberately hiding her clumsiness, or it is really over.

Su Xi was thinking wildly, when Eunuch Chang came to him and said that His Majesty wanted to see her, she followed in a daze and stood up, walked to the front of the dinner, and saluted Emperor Zhao Yuan and Empress Liu.It wasn't until Emperor Zhaoyuan asked her to play a piece of music that she realized that she had been betrayed by Wei Deyin.

"Your Majesty laughed at me. The courtier's daughter is only playing the piano for private fun. It's hard to be elegant. I'm afraid it will make your majesty and empress laugh at you." Su Xi has always remembered Mr. Gu's words, and she can't embarrass him when she goes outside, so most of the time she is I practice the piano in the yard by myself, and rarely play it to others.

When Su Xi lowered her head to answer, she didn't know that everyone was looking at her.

The little girl has a graceful figure, a beautiful face, delicate and clear cheeks, and just the right demeanor.Even that voice is soft and graceful, Wu Nong's soft words are like whispers in the ear, just listening to the voice makes the bones of the people drunk, not to mention the beauty of that face.

In the past few days of hunting, Su Xi spent most of her time in the tent, and rarely met the outsider, even if someone wanted to see the beauty, there was no chance.Finally standing in front of everyone, it seemed as if the veil on the pearl had been lifted at once. Many men put down the wine glasses in their hands, and their eyes fell on her, as if admiring a perfect piece of exquisite porcelain, lingering.

Emperor Zhao Yuan was the second pick on the left, Wei Yan's hand holding the golden bottle was tightened, and his face was slightly cold.

Emperor Zhaoyuan smiled and said: "It's okay, since Deyin likes to listen to you playing the piano, you can play a piece at will. Don't feel panic, I will reward you for playing well, and I will not punish you for playing badly."

With Emperor Zhaoyuan's words, Su Xi felt more at ease.She knelt down and said, "Then the courtier would be more respectful than obedient."

Someone said: "I heard that Miss Su Jiu has a green qiqin, can someone bring it?"

Su Xi thought for a while, then shook her head and said, "No, I'll just use this one." He was talking about the piano that Fu Yi played just now.

Seeing this, Fu Yi was both funny and felt that Su Xi was arrogant. Didn't she know that Lu Qiqin could add a lot to her?Or is it because she knows that she can't play well, even if she uses Lu Qiqin, it won't help, but it will only increase the jokes of others?

Either way, Fu Yi didn't take Su Xi seriously.

Su Xi sat behind the piano and thought for a while.

On such an occasion today, it is absolutely not suitable to play the pieces that Wei Deyin usually listens to.Holding the strings with both hands, she hesitated for a moment, and played a piece of "Returning Home" composed by herself.

Su Xi plucked the strings and began to play.

This piece of music was written by Su Xi when he first arrived in Wujun.At that time, her grandfather had just passed away, and she left the familiar capital, and with the matter of Wei Feng in her heart, she was wandering and sad, and reluctant to leave.Even seeing the beautiful scenery of Wu County, it still couldn't smooth the pain in her heart.Su Xi's slender fingers were playing with the strings of the piano, and her long eyelashes were hanging down, as if she had returned to that gloomy time. The beauty was weeping, the misty rain was misty, and it touched the heartstrings of everyone present.

This song is not very suitable for this kind of occasion. Before anyone questioned her, she saw her emotions change between her fingers, sweeping away the depression just now. a world.

This paragraph was written in Wujun's second year. At that time, Su Xi's mood was already very calm, and he could see the morning mist in spring, the fine weather in summer, the catkins flying, and the peaches and plums.For a time, the spring is warm and the flowers are blooming, all things are revived, the breeze blows the bamboo in the ears, and the clouds roll and the clouds are in front of you. There is nothing more leisurely and contented in this world. If you hold a pot of wine in your hand, you can share heartily. Drink three thousand springs.

It's a pity that Su Xi didn't have wine in his hand at the time, but only a qin, so he put all his affection on the qin.

Everyone looked at the girl in the middle, and never thought that there would be such a free and open piano sound played by a daughter's family.

The song is not over yet.

The third paragraph was written by Su Xi on his way back to the capital from Wujun.One night there was a blizzard and a strong wind that almost turned the entire river up.On one side is the capital city which is close at hand, and on the other side is the rushing river. The sound of her piano is getting higher and higher, as if the magnificent and huge waves are in front of her eyes, and then suddenly a clear stream is poured into it, and she rushes out in the storm. A way home.The sound of the piano was melodious and stopped abruptly. This is the final destination.

The sound of the piano fell, and no one recovered for a long time.

It wasn't until Su Xi got up to salute Emperor Zhaoyuan that the emperor came back to his senses in a daze. Looking at this young girl, he didn't know what words to use to praise him: "...I heard that you studied under Mr. Gu Tong?"

Su Xi nodded, "Return to Your Majesty, it's my tutor."

"Okay...okay, as expected of Mr. Gu's apprentice." Emperor Zhaoyuan was full of praise, and said with emotion: "I haven't heard such a wonderful song for a long time."

At this time, everyone in the audience gradually came back to their senses.If it was Su Xi's appearance that they were obsessed with just now, then at this moment, they were completely overwhelmed by her piano sound.

Li Yan looked at Su Xi, still shocked by her qin music, only hearing the sound of a cup falling to the ground beside him.

He followed the sound and saw Lu Jianghuai, the son of General Weiyuan, suddenly woke up, it was too late to hide the obsession and concentration in his eyes.

As for Fu Yi, her face looked even better. If she wanted Su Xi to make a fool of herself just now, she was slapped backhand by Su Xi now.

"Spring River Flower Moonlight Night" against the backdrop of "Returning Back", it is simply not worth mentioning.Why didn't she know when Su Xi's piano sound reached such a superb level?

Emperor Zhaoyuan kept his promise, and rewarded Su Xi with the eight characters of "Zhenjing, Quiet and Gentle, with a high temperament" and some jewelry.

Jewelry is nothing unusual, the most important thing is those eight words, to get such appreciation from the emperor, presumably after the hunt is over, the threshold of the Su Mansion will be broken by matchmakers.

A family has a hundred female family members, which is exactly what they said.

After returning to her seat, Su Xi sat for a while, and a lady in green clothes came up to her and whispered a few words.

Su Xi sat for a while, then got up and left the table.

There was a bamboo forest behind the dinner party, Su Xi tightened the cloak on her shoulders, and stepped on the moonlight to walk deep into the forest.Before he had gone far, he was pulled into his arms by a force behind him.Before she could make a sound, Wei Feng pinched her chin, and she had to open her lips, and then he pressed them down heavily.

What happened to him today?It was like this when we met, she didn't seem to make him angry...

After a while, Wei Yan finally let her go, and gently swayed her small mouth with his fingertips, and said in a hoarse voice: "Youyou, I told you not to play the piano in front of others."

Only now did Su Xi understand what he was annoyed with, her cheeks were flushed, "But Your Majesty has spoken, and in front of so many people, how could I refuse..."

Wei Yan remained silent.

Today she won the hearts and souls of so many people, he just wanted to hide her in his pocket and not let anyone see.

Su Xi recalled the injury he suffered today, broke away from his arms and said, "How is your injury? When I saw Li Hong during the day, he said that you were seriously injured and the wound was bleeding profusely..."

Wei Yan looked at her nervous little face, and then his face looked a little better, and said, "It's not very good."

When he said this, Su Xi's face turned pale, "What do you mean it's not good? Does it hurt?"

Wei Yan took her into his arms, spread his robe on the floor, and sat on the floor, with his chin against her smooth and delicate cheek, "Hmm."

Huh again?Is it painful or not?

Su Xi turned around and sat down in front of him, looked at his body, "Where did Cousin Tingzhou get hurt?"

Wei Yan held her hand and placed it on his left shoulder.

Su Xi didn't dare to use force, she wanted to see how he was hurt, but she put her fingertips on his lapel and didn't move her hands for a long time.You can't take off his clothes, can you?She bit her lower lip, embarrassed.Looking up at Wei Feng's half-smiling eyes, she was discouraged, took out a small sweet white porcelain medicine bottle from her sleeve, and stuffed it into his hand, "This is the medicine to stop bleeding, you can take more by yourself when you go back." , remember not to change the medicine twice a day. And don’t touch water, don’t drink alcohol..."

As she said that, she leaned over Wei Feng and smelled it, and she really smelled the wine, and she was immediately unhappy, "Why are you still drinking when you are injured?"

Wei Yan held her hand, twitched her fingertips lightly, and smiled lowly: "Youyou."

Su Xi responded, "Huh?"

Wei Yan said: "Has anyone ever told you that you are like a little housekeeper?"

Su Xi glared at him in embarrassment, then shook off his hand, "Then I don't care about you."

I don't know how.

Wei Yan grabbed her wrist, locked her in his arms again, lowered his head and kissed her pouty mouth, "Even if it's a little housekeeper, it can only be my little housekeeper."
