"The emperor is so wise, let you guess!" Lin Baiwan smiled, "I've also heard Miss Pepe's name mentioned, and I'm very curious about her piano and dance skills. Isn't it just the emperor's longevity? So I asked Miss Pepe to do a show for your longevity. ”

The emperor laughed when he heard this: "It is worthy of being my beloved concubine, well done." ”

Lin Baiwan: "Then I'll invite someone up?" ”

The emperor said: "Please, let everyone see the piano and dance skills that are respected by the people of the whole capital." ”

Lin Baiwan instructed the palace maids beside her, the palace maids retreated, and after a while, most of the lights in the hall were extinguished, only the central light was still on, and then a group of women wearing colorful dance skirts ran to the center of the hall and danced. The woman in the center is the most feminine and has the most outstanding temperament, and she dances with thousands of styles between her hands and feet, so that all the men in the hall are fascinated by her demeanor, and their eyes all fall on this woman. Well, there are exceptions, except for Li Binwei, there is only the man Lin Baiyu noticed before.

Now in the entire hall, only the place where the dancing girl dances is very bright, and the rest of the place is shrouded in darkness, plus everyone's hearts are attracted by the woman leading the dance, and they don't notice that many people have quietly sneaked into the main hall.

Lin Baiyu and Li Binwei glanced at each other, these sneaky actions naturally couldn't hide from them, and the two of them pretended not to find out. There were too many people planning this night, and I didn't know whose men were the ones who came in.

At the end of the dance, Pepe led the dancing girls to kneel in front of the emperor.

"You're Pepe?" The emperor looked at Pepe with interest, and Pepe was no stranger to that gaze, just like other men. Emperor, hmph, nothing but that!

"The folk girl is Pepe." Pepe's eyes rolled, revealing thousands of amorous feelings, which made the emperor's heart itch very much, but in front of so many clan ministers, he still knew face, and he didn't immediately put Pepe in the harem.

"I heard that your piano skills are also very good?" The emperor asked.

Pepe lowered her head, revealing her slender and white neck: "What folk girls are best at is piano skills. ”

"Then you can play a song." The emperor pointed to a position closer to him: "You play there." ”

The two little eunuchs hurriedly brought over a long case, and the two palace maids brought Yaoqin and straw mats. Pepe walked over to the long table and sat down, raised his hands high, and began to play.

Pepe's piano skills are really outstanding, and the piece she plays is very beautiful, which is "Spring River Flower Moonlight Night". None of the people in the hall had ever heard this piece – except for Lin Baiyu and Li Binwei – that Pepe had learned from Lin Baishu, who had wanted to play it herself to add a halo to her talented name, but she disappeared.

"The tide of the spring river is even with the sea, and the bright moon on the sea is born together. Thousands of miles with the waves, where there is no moon in the spring river! The river flows around Fangdian, and the moonlit flowers and forests are like hail; The frost in the air does not fly, and the white sand on the Ting cannot be seen. Jiangtian is colorless and dustless, and the lonely moon wheel in the bright sky. Who first saw the moon on the riverside? When did Jiang Yue shine at the beginning of the year? Life has been infinite from generation to generation, and Jiang Yue is only similar every year......"

The music is elegant and beautiful, just like a paintbrush painting a long scroll of mountains and rivers with soft colors and clear elegance in front of everyone's eyes: on a quiet night in spring, the moon rises in the east mountain, the boat ripples on the river, and the flower shadow gently sways on the west bank......

Everyone was immersed in the sound of the piano, including Lin Baiyu. Pepe's piano skills are really good, better than Lin Baiyu, Lin Baiyu is completely attracted by the sound of the piano.

Until the last piano note fell, the night scene was shattered, and everyone still did not come back to their senses. After a long while, everyone came back to their senses and praised one after another.

The emperor spoke: "Sure enough, the piano skills are better than the dancing skills, and in terms of piano skills, Pepe can be called everyone." ”

Pepe stood up and thanked the emperor, "everyone" is not something that everyone can deserve, it must be a skill that has reached its peak, others can only look up to it, and they can call it everyone, and their status is very respectful. With the title of "everyone", Pepe's identity is no longer as simple as the Oiran of the Qinglou, and the social place will be greatly improved and respected by the world.

Lin Baiwan said with a smile: "Pepe, everyone sincerely thanks the emperor, why don't you toast the emperor in person?" ”

This proposal hit the emperor's heart, giving Lin Baiwan a satisfied look, and the emperor looked at Pepe with a smile.

Pepe was not hypocritical, walked slowly to the emperor's side, took the wine jug from the palace maid and poured a glass of wine for the emperor, holding it in both hands, Yingying stepped forward.

The Emperor was overjoyed and reached for his glass.

Pepe laughed so charmingly that the Emperor was so attracted to him that he forgot to be vigilant.

A cold light flashed in Lin Baiyu's sight, her figure moved slightly, and Li Binwei held her hand.

Lin Baiyu sighed, the royal family has no family affection, even Li Binwei is the same. Although he has no interest in the throne, like other princes, he is looking forward to the emperor's early death.

"The concubine likes your piano skills very much, so you can go to the palace to accompany the concubine." The Emperor uttered a natural excuse that was perfect.

Pepe smiled, and just as the Emperor was completely bewildered by her, a dagger stabbed the Emperor in the shoulder.

"Dog Emperor, you go to die!"

The personal eunuch beside the emperor reacted and immediately shouted: "Escort, escort!" ”

It's a pity that none of the guards who should come out to escort the car have moved, and although the people who came out are also dressed as guards, none of them are known to the big eunuch. They walked behind the royal family and ministers, threatened with swords, and controlled the people. Among them, the sword around the prince and Li Binwei is the most.

Pepe sneered and leaped backwards, falling into the middle of the hall. All the dancing girls who were originally kneeling stood up and used ribbons as weapons to confront the emperor.

The second prince let out a long laugh, stood up, and walked out of his position: "Father, how does this knife taste?" ”

"Is that you?" The emperor deserved to be the emperor, although he was seriously injured, but at this time he did not show weakness, and the great eunuch supported him, standing up and confronting the four princes.

"You brute is unfaithful and unfilial, and you actually sent this woman to assassinate me." At this time, the emperor's gaze at Pepe was still obsessed, full of killing intent.

"Hehe, Father, you are wrong. Pepe is not my subordinate, and I didn't ask her to kill you. The second prince smiled proudly, "It's Pepe's own intention to kill you, who wants you to have a grudge against Pepe!" ”

"What kind of enmity do I have with a female branch girl?" The emperor will not believe the words of the second prince.

Pei Pei snorted coldly: "The emperor and nobles are so forgetful, naturally they can't remember the things that have destroyed other people's families." Pity my grandfather who was loyal and patriotic, and because he offended you, eighty-six people from Helian were killed by you, the dog emperor. It's been more than ten years, and I've finally avenged them! ”

"It turns out that you are the granddaughter of Helian Chengyu's old horseman, and the people who beheaded Helian are all waste, and they even fell into the trap of you." The emperor said viciously, "When it comes to today's matter, I will definitely have people pull out the bones of Helian Chengyu's family and whip the corpse." ”

"You dare!" Pei Pei's eyes were red with anger, and he was about to step forward to give the emperor another knife, but was pulled by his companions.

"Don't go, beware of the scheme. He's deliberately provoking you. ”

Pepe took a few deep breaths, suppressed his anger, and sneered, "You want to whip the bones of my Helian family? It's a pity that you don't have this chance, do you think you still have a life after today? ”

The emperor's face was gloomy, and he understood that what Pepe said was true, and it was absolutely impossible for the second prince to let himself live in order to ascend the throne. Thinking of this, the emperor glared at the prince fiercely: Useless things, aren't you usually very capable? Why didn't you discover the conspiracy of the second prince's rebellion? Sure enough, he should have been deposed as the crown prince a long time ago.

The prince touched his nose with his hand with an innocent face, and sneered in his heart. Let the emperor think that he is useless, he is not in a hurry, and there are still people who have not jumped out. He's going to keep waiting.

"Father, you've been sitting on this dragon chair for too long, don't you feel too hard and uncomfortable? Let's let the retainers suffer, help you do it! The second prince clapped his hands with the expression of "I am a filial son", and a little eunuch came out of nowhere, holding a blank edict and pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and knelt down in front of the emperor.

"I really underestimated you, and even the people around me were bribed." The emperor ignored the little eunuch and looked at Lin Baiwan, who had been standing aside since Pepe assassinated the emperor, with an indifferent expression, "I love you so much, you actually colluded with the second child and betrayed me!" ”

Lin Baiwan still had an indifferent expression and said, "I didn't collude with the second prince. ”

The emperor didn't believe it: "You didn't collude with this son of evil, how could you introduce this who assassinated me to me?" If it weren't for your arrangement, how could this enter the main hall with a sword? ”

Suddenly, I heard another laugh: "Father, you don't have to embarrass the concubine, she and the second brother really have no collusion, and the person who has colluded is me." ”

I saw the fourth prince proudly walk out of the seated position. One of the people who had threatened him with swords died, and the other two were by his side. Looking at the guards in the temple, a quarter of them fell, and half of them turned against the rest.

What did the second prince not understand at this time, it turned out that he was a praying mantis catching cicadas, and someone was behind the yellow finch.

The second prince's eyes were cracked: "Fourth, you are capable!" ”

The fourth prince smiled: "It's okay, it's just a little better than the second brother." ”

The second prince snorted: "What if you are Huang Que behind? Most of the men in this palace are mine, and my army is also gathered outside the palace, and as long as I give the order, I can attack the palace. You say, me or you, who has the best chance of winning? ”

The fourth prince laughed when he heard this: "Your army? Haha, Lin Junhao, come on, whose army do those people outside the palace belong to? ”

Lin Junhao stood up helplessly and bowed to the four princes: "Four princes, the people outside the palace naturally belong to you." ”
