I hide my concubine in a golden house

Chapter 43

A man of this age is a very old man, if there are some accidents, it is not uncommon for his temperament to change, Su Tian suppressed her surprise, and said in a warm voice: "It's so good, Mr. Shen was praised by the teacher when we entered school together. , At that time, who didn't pass on the goodness of Mr. Shen's family? Especially vocal music is even more outstanding, and now I can have the honor to listen to Mr. Shen's music, it is my blessing."

Shen Xiao nodded slightly, and he was neither arrogant nor impetuous after hearing these words, he just said: "Your Highness, Shen Xiao is no more than an ordinary person, so I really dare not be so."

It turned out that they were old acquaintances, and the visitor was not kind.

Quan Jue tapped the wine glass lightly with his fingertips, and ordered with a half-smile, "Come here, hurry up and get the zither with Mr. Shen."

Shen Xiao cupped his hands, neither humble nor overbearing: "Shen Xiao thank you son-in-law."

Shen Xiao calmly sat down behind the guzheng, paused, and then put his hand on it.

Facing the eyes of everyone, slide your left hand to the note position, step back a little when playing the strings, slide up Yingyin quickly, the more sensitive you are, and the fingertips are flexible.

People who understand the rhythm can be fascinated by it. Ren Jing does not know the rhythm, so he can't tell whether the sound of the piano is good or bad, but he also feels that the sound of the piano is melodious and smooth to the ear, as if it is on the heartstrings.

It is not easy to arrange music on the spot, and the requirements for rhythm are extremely high, and it is easy to mess up if you are not careful.

It wasn't until Shen Xiao listened to the voice and said that it was a shame that everyone came back to their senses and clapped their hands in applause.

Su Tian also applauded.

There is the best teacher in the palace, she has studied for so long, and she can be considered to be able to play piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but she is not proficient. Naturally, she envies those who are proficient in everything.

Quan Juan held the wine in his left hand, and leaned leisurely on the armchair behind him: "Mr. Shen is indeed amazingly talented and worthy of his reputation. He plays really well. Why don't we play another song to help everyone enjoy the wine."

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere at the banquet changed somewhat.

Shen Xiao is the son of the grand master who ranks among the three princes, and has a noble status, but Quan Yi's words about helping the wine shop compare him to an actor who makes music, dance and banter.

All sounds are silent.

Su Tian also sensed that something was wrong with the atmosphere, and thought to herself: What's wrong with this guy?Usually, he doesn't show his emotions or anger at all, so why is he targeting Shen Xiao now.

Su Tian stopped laughing, and calmly held Quan Juan's hand: "Are you upset?"

Today is her birthday banquet, and there are foreign envoys here, she doesn't want to cause any trouble, and she doesn't want to directly open her mouth to intercept Quan Juan's words.

Quan Jue didn't realize it, and looked at Shen Xiao lazily: "Why, Mr. Shen is not willing?"

Shen Xiao was not annoyed, there was no change on his face, he cupped his hands and said with a gentle smile: "My son-in-law has orders, Xiao dare not obey."

Quan Jue condescended, "Please."

While Shen Xiao was adjusting the strings, Su Tian pulled the hem of Quan Juan's clothes under the table, leaned over, and said in a low voice: "Brother Ping, Shen Xiao is the son of Grand Master Shen's family after all, and my fourth son." My younger brother's accompanying reading, there is no reason and no fault, what did you provoke him to do?"

"I don't find him pleasing to the eye."

"..."

Quan Juan lowered his head slightly, covering his cold eyes: "Look, Your Highness."

Su Tian looked down, and saw Shen Xiao sitting down with sleeves folded calmly, plucking the strings lightly with slender and clean fingers, his every move was like everyone else's.

A modest gentleman, gentle as jade.

It's fine, there's nothing wrong with it.

Su Tian tentatively said: "What do you think is not pleasing to Shen Xiao?"

Quan Yu stroked his forehead and said nothing for a long time. When Su Tian wanted to ask again, he opened his mouth: "Can't Your Highness see it?"

"What?" Su Tian looked confused.

"He's seducing you." Quan Yi said word by word.

"Cough cough..."

The word seduce is not very pleasant, and it is also a bit too straightforward.

Su Tian was shocked when she heard the words: "Are you...are you kidding, I dare not say such nonsense."

Quan Jue turned sideways, and caressed her forehead with cold fingers as if no one was there, and said in a cold voice, "My fair lady, a gentleman is so good-looking, Your Highness is so beautiful, it is inevitable that someone will miss it."

"Hey, are you... Are you praising me?"

Quan Juan looked at someone who had missed the point: "Your Highness says yes."

"When" an ethereal piano sound broke the conversation between the two.

Shen Xiao's ten fingers were like flying letters, and deep piano sounds jumped out from his fingertips one by one, like a gentle sigh, revealing the one-sided emotions of the piano player.

Su Tian only glanced at it twice, then turned her head, and said to Quan Yu: "You just said..."

"Shhh." Quan Juan pressed his fingertips against Su Tian's lips, "Your Highness will see."

"What?" Su Tian followed Quan Jue's line of sight and looked over. At first, she didn't notice anything wrong, but when she saw something suddenly, her face turned pale.

Because the fingers were constantly plucking the strings, Shen Xiao's wide sleeve fell down, revealing a white wrist, which is not surprising at all. What is strange is that there is a small black snake wrapped around Shen Xiao's right wrist. Look, I thought it was a strangely shaped bracelet.

The little snake's body was slender, no more than one finger wide, but it wrapped around Shen Xiao's wrist two or three times.

Seeing Su Tian looking over, the little snake raised its head slightly, "hissing" and spitting out bright red snake letters in Su Tian's direction.

Su Tian was most afraid of this kind of cold mollusk. She looked at the little snake and screamed "Ah" in fright. The audience fell silent, and the guests below all looked over.

Shen Xiao stopped plucking the strings, lightly adjusted his sleeves, covered his wrists, and lightly patted the snake's hovering position through the clothes.

Change, perversion.

Su Tian swallowed her saliva.

He looked like a handsome young man with red lips and fair skin, but he didn't expect to wear a snake around his wrist.

It was horrible.

Su Tian's hand under the table grabbed Quan Juan's arm more and more forcefully, her face was pale, her mouth was open, and she wanted to find an excuse to get back to the scene, but she didn't say a word.

Everyone noticed Su Tian's gaffe and looked over.

"Your Highness can't drink enough, he's a little drunk." Quan Juan casually raised his eyes and raised his glass: "Everyone, go on, please drink to your heart's content tonight."

Everyone raised their wine glasses, thinking they were blind?The empress is clearly not even a drop of wine, and her expression is clear, how can she get drunk?
It's just that no one dared to say it clearly.

"Sit down." Quan Yi put one hand on Su Tian's shoulder, grabbed a small fruit and stuffed it for her: "What are you afraid of? It's so small that it can't eat you."

Su Tian bit her bright red lips, pinched the small fruit with her fingers, her eyes were moist: "But, but I'm still so scared..."

Quan Jue flicked her forehead: "Don't make trouble."

"I don't have it." Su Tian flattened her mouth, and looked weakly at the banquet below.

With a gentle smile on Shen Xiao's handsome face, he raised his glass to respect her from a distance.

Su Tian trembled again, and suddenly withdrew her eyes, her complexion a little ugly.

It's too scary, when she sees Shen Xiao now, she will think of that cold black snake spitting out a red letter.

People who are not of the same kind, it is better to hide.

Seeing Su Tian's dodging appearance, Shen Xiao's eyes darkened, stroked his wide sleeves, raised his slender neck, and drank the remaining liquid in the wine cup in one gulp.
