Chapter 323 The Crown Princess' Scheme (2)
Although they are concubines, ordinary families don't like to find concubines' daughters to be their daughter-in-laws, but which family doesn't have many concubine sons?A concubine with a concubine is naturally a match made in heaven, and coupled with the power of the Jiajun Palace in the court, who wouldn't want to get involved in such a marriage?

As a matter of course, a concubine like her is so popular on such occasions, let alone a concubine, so Mrs. Lu Guogong made an appointment early, before the start of the flower viewing feast, she made an appointment with Murong Wenying, which is really prescient .

Murong Wenjing just stood up, bowed to the emperor and everyone, stepped aside, and saw a person who was not on the list walking up, which made the next lady who was about to perform her talent stop and stood where she was.

"Royal Father!" The Crown Princess bowed quietly, her posture was as elegant as a fairy coming to the world, without a trace of smoke and dust. "Today's flower viewing banquet, a hundred flowers are in full bloom, my son and minister are delighted, and it is inevitable that they are eager to play. I want to play a piano to cheer up my father, and I hope my father will give me permission."

"Oh?" the emperor said with interest. "Since that's the case, then it's up to you. I still remember that when you stood here for the first time to participate in the flower appreciation banquet more than ten years ago, you played a piece of music, which seemed to be Qingpingle."

"Father takes care of everything every day, and it is really a blessing for me to still remember the song I played back then." The princess concubine said lightly, then moved to sit on the piano bench, closed her eyes, and adjusted her emotions. Only then did he put his fingers on the strings.

The clank of the piano sounded, and those who knew the music immediately recognized that this was still the Qingpingle.

Everyone in the venue didn't know why the princess suddenly ran up to perform, because as we all know, the princess has always been arrogant. She has been like this since she was at home, and even more so after marrying into the royal family. Participating in a banquet, even more disdain to show talent to everyone.

Gu Qingmei and Murong Yu looked at each other, they both instinctively thought that the princess would go up to play the piano, and there would be some kind of conspiracy.

At the end of the song, the princess stood up and bowed deeply to the emperor.

The emperor smiled with satisfaction: "The princess is really good at playing the piano, not much better than the former concubine."

Just then the prince said from below: "Father, no matter how well the Crown Princess plays the piano, it is not as good as that played by Princess Zhenguo. Last time at the concubine's birthday banquet, Princess Zhenguo played two pianos. The song, but the skill is extraordinary. Even the concubine, she was so happy that she admired the Jiuxiao ring bestowed by the late emperor. Why not let the princess of Zhenguo come to cheer everyone up today, let everyone listen, what is it? It's called a real wonderful song."

"Oh?" The emperor couldn't help being a little surprised. "Really? Why haven't I heard of it?"

The concubine smiled and said: "The emperor has a lot of things to do every day, and he can't worry about these state affairs every day. How can he have the time to take care of these nosy things in the inner house? Brother Yu's daughter-in-law is indeed a good player, but today is a flower viewing feast." , are all performances by women who have not left the boudoir. If she is already married, forget it, otherwise, there will be not enough time. The emperor wants to listen to her play the piano. She and Brother Yu came into the palace and played alone for the emperor."

The prince didn't expect the concubine to come forward to speak for Gu Qingmei, so he couldn't help feeling angry, and said: "The concubine's words are wrong, the emperor has a lot of things to do every day, how can there be time on weekdays to announce the minister's daughter-in-law to enter the palace for such a trivial matter, and play the piano for him alone?" Listen? It's just that there are so many people today, just for fun, one is to let the emperor relax, and the other is to let the wives present listen to what the real wonderful song is like, so that I can teach the ladies of each family when I go back. It’s a beautiful thing to kill two birds with one stone.”

When the concubine heard the words, she couldn't help frowning slightly, with an expression of displeasure on her face, and a pair of old eyes stared at the prince sharply.

The prince didn't realize it, he just looked at Gu Qingmei lewdly, he is a person who is used to romance, last time he heard Gu Qingmei play two pieces of music, he missed her, although he failed, but seeing Gu Qingmei at this time, still Itching in his heart, he wished she could play another song, so he sent the princess to start a conversation.

The fourth prince said coldly: "What is the prince talking about? Although brother Yu is a courtier, he is also the nephew of my concubine mother. Since my concubine married the emperor father, brother Yu is naturally the emperor's nephew. Brother Yu brought her daughter-in-law into the palace to play the piano for the emperor to listen to, but it is just the filial piety of the younger generation to please the elders, it is a very simple and ordinary thing, how come it is so unbearable in the mouth of the crown prince?"

As soon as the prince heard that the fourth prince opened his mouth and put such a big hat on his head, he suddenly felt that what he just said was indeed inappropriate, so he quickly stood up, walked to the atrium and knelt down, "Father, please forgive me, my son! I don't have this kind of idea, I just want the Crown Princess to attract others, and ask Princess Zhenguo to play a song to please my father..."

"Okay..." The emperor's interest just now made their quarrel disappear, and the bored expression on his face at this time was obviously very dissatisfied with the prince.

But at this moment, Gu Qingmei stood up, walked out gracefully, stood next to the piano table and saluted the emperor deeply, and said with a smile: "Don't get angry, your majesty, it's because the ministers don't know good and bad, and refuse to perform for the emperor to appreciate , it’s really mediocre, and I’m worried that it will spoil the emperor’s sage. If the emperor doesn’t dislike the clumsiness of my wife, I’m willing to play a piano for the emperor’s entertainment.”

The emperor nodded slightly, it is different between being able to speak and not being able to speak, he thought in his heart, when he looked at Gu Qingmei, the expression on his face immediately became a little more amiable, "If that's the case, then play the piano, Let me also listen to what kind of piano skills can make the eldest aunt full of praise."

"The courtier's wife obeys the order!" After Gu Qingmei finished speaking, she sat down on the piano bench and thought about it. Today is a flower viewing feast, so it is naturally not suitable to play "Burning Flowers", but she doesn't know many songs. The tunes that I like to play are also some sad tunes, and I basically don't know anything about festive tunes.

Huh?She suddenly remembered that although she didn't know how to play upbeat tunes, she could play that very famous piece... Huadie!
Thinking of this, she moved her fingers and plucked the strings lightly, and a beautiful melody immediately flowed out.

The sound of the zither was like a clear spring hitting a stone, bubbling into the hearts of everyone, like a butterfly fluttering, or someone holding a silk thread, seducing everyone's minds to immerse themselves in this piece and unable to extricate themselves.

The people here are used to the slow sound of the piano, and when they suddenly heard such a smooth and cheerful tune, they couldn't help being stunned.

Until the sound of the piano stopped, many people couldn't recover, and even if they recovered, they were still regretting, why such a beautiful song ended in such a short time?

"It's true that this song should only exist in the sky, how often do you have to hear it in the world?" The emperor looked at Gu Qingmei standing up with a humble expression on his face, thinking to himself, it's a pity that such a beautiful woman is called Brother Yu The son has to go, if he becomes the concubine of the fourth child, why worry about the big thing failing?
