Chapter 45: One-sided
Chapter 45 is one-sided
"You know what? I'm just curious about that little gong, nothing else. Qiao Zhihan pretended not to understand Murong Shuo's words at first, but then simply turned the topic to Xiao Gong.
She knew that for the good of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Luo Zijin must also be among the candidates. Otherwise, if the Divine Tree really chose that Cao Fu in the end, the prince's situation would only be worse. hated that he couldn't help him with anything, and he couldn't wait to watch him marry another woman.
"You're curious what she's doing. It's just a girl, how can you still remember her. Murong Shuo said with a displeased expression. Zhihan remembers who is not good, and she still has to remember her.
"Didn't she say she would marry you, of course I won't forget her. Qiao Zhihan said with a smile.
"Well, you can believe her jokes. Stay away from her in the future, don't listen to what she says!" Murong Shuo was a little angry. Zhihan didn't keep mentioning that woman just to reject herself. If you don't like it, you don't like it, he can wait. But don't bring in a person who doesn't talk like you.
"Are you angry? I know, I'll stay away from her. However, she didn't swear to the sacred tree? Qiao Zhihan saw that Murong Shuo was angry, and immediately changed her words, but as soon as she finished speaking, she couldn't help but stiffen her lips.
"She swore that sooner or later she would pay the price!" Murong Shuo firmly believed.
After speaking, he didn't speak again, but listened quietly to the sound of the piano coming from the other side of the lake. I don't really have many opportunities to hear this in normal times. When he met the prince by chance on Lingyun Peak before, he also played the piano and flute ensemble, and the pleasure of meeting a bosom friend is still unforgettable. It's just that when he returned to the capital, the prince was busy with government affairs, and he had to keep his head down, so naturally he didn't have much opportunity to play the piano and blow the flute again.
Qiao Zhihan saw that Murong Shuo didn't speak, so she stopped talking. She also listened to the music together, but she never understood the rhythm and couldn't hear the good or bad in it. I just think that as long as it is played by the prince, it is the best. It didn't take long for him to smile reverently.
However, the song ended quickly. Qiao Zhihan only felt relieved. Only Murong Shuo, Luo Zijin and others are still unsatisfied. In addition, listening to the dance in the piano water pavilion is also refreshing. A good song and a good dance are naturally a perfect match.
However, in Xiao Gong's view, the qin music is too good, like a solo, not for anything. If it is said to be fun, it is too noisy. At the beginning, she took away everyone's eyes and ears strongly, and even Cao Fu almost missed a beat, if she hadn't reacted quickly, this ugliness would have been decided. But then it didn't take advantage of anything. Although it is on the beat, the song is a song, and the dance is a dance, which looks harmonious, but there is a gap everywhere. People who don't know music and can't dance really can't see the "inseparability" of their music and dance.
The music stopped dancing, Cao Fu breathed slightly and thanked him. She was quite satisfied with the result. Even if the prince didn't look at her differently, but when this matter got out, her candidate was decided. is too bullet "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix" for her and dance, this "friendship" has been shown obviously.
The prince adjusted his breathing, raised his hand and clapped twice. When everyone saw the prince applauding, they also hurriedly followed, and the applause was thunderous for a while. But it stopped quietly. It's just because the prince has already put down his hands.
"Miss Cao's dance is really a must in the capital, and it is also a blessing for the palace to have the fate to see it today. Since the young lady and the palace co-starred in the "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix" in the past of the father and the queen mother, then today, the palace will reward the father and the queen mother to the queen mother, and the queen mother will give you the "five-color peony map" presented to the palace. When the applause stopped, the prince spoke.
"Thank you, Your Highness. When Cao Fu heard that it was awarded to the queen by the emperor back then, he couldn't hide his joy, and he was busy thanking him.
"When the feast is over, the palace will send someone to your lodgings, so you don't need to come to thank you again. The prince nodded with a smile and explained.
"Yes, the courtiers thank Your Highness for your favor. As soon as the prince's words came out, Cao Fu was even more proud, and his voice was a little longer, more charming, so that the Wang Wu who was waiting outside couldn't stop half of his body just listening to it.
Fortunately, the prince is not a royal house, although he is a man, but this concentration is not comparable to ordinary men. He has seen a lot of beautiful women, and Cao Fu is indeed not ordinary, but in his heart, no matter how beautiful she is, she is just a peony.
The "Five-Colored Peony Picture" was very precious, but the emperor did not know that the queen did not like peonies at that time. That's why I gave her this painting. Although the queen doesn't like peonies either, she doesn't have a good impression of peonies. Therefore, no matter how precious a painting is, it is not good if the person who accepts it does not like it. However, this secret is only known to the emperor, the queen and the crown prince. When Cao Fu heard that the prince gave her the painting that the emperor gave to the queen, he was naturally overjoyed.
Although Murong Shuo didn't know about this secret, he also knew that the prince didn't have any good intentions when he gave her the painting. didn't say anything, just turned his back, unwilling to look at Qiao Zhihan's sad face. But just as he turned his back, he happened to hear a gust of wind passing by the Qin Water Pavilion, and the curtain that was blown up just revealed the face of the little gong.
The wind quickly dissipated, and the curtain fell. But Murong Shuo saw Xiao Gong's expression clearly. Her lightly raised eyebrows and disapproving winks and chuckled lightly, although it was not obvious, it was enough for Murong Shuo to see what she meant clearly. Her performance, either she also saw the true intention of the prince, or she knew the meaning behind the "Five-colored Peony Map". Murong Shuo naturally didn't know the meaning behind this picture, of course, she thought that she knew the prince's intentions. The wariness of her was doubled.
However, this time he really misunderstood Xiaogong because he didn't know. She actually knew the meaning behind the picture. However, although I learned it from Murong Shuo's book. But what is recorded in the book is that the prince told Luo Zijin, and then Luo Zijin told her. It's just that the current little gong really shouldn't know anything.
Cao Fu got what she wanted. But in her opinion, since she has gained an inch, why can't she make further progress? Since she has now won the favor of the prince, it is better to go one step further and let the prince be disappointed in Luo Zijin.
Thinking of this, Cao Fu didn't wait to return to his seat and said: "Your Highness, Your Highness, Your Highness's song makes the banquet shine, and the courtiers also dance to show ugliness." Just when the courtiers are throwing bricks and leading the jade, how about Sister Luo sing a song as the finale now?"
"Miss Cao is too modest. The prince seemed to be very interested in Cao Fu's suggestion, and asked Luo Zijin with a smile, "What does Miss Luo think?"
"The courtiers are not good at singing and dancing, I am afraid that it will disturb everyone's interest. Luo Zijin got up and replied.
"My sister must be hiding it when she says that. My sister's reputation is far above my sister and me, so why should my sister be too humble. Before the prince could speak, Cao Fu preemptively said angrily. The way he pouted his little mouth was really pitiful for me.
