Chapter Seventy-Three: Spring and Snow Meet Bosom Friends

Zhaoyun thought of Concubine Ping's words and deeds, and only felt that Concubine Ping was not a good person, so he only saluted Concubine Ping, then stood up and asked respectfully, "I don't know what Sister Ping's advice is?" ”

Concubine Ping glanced at Zhaoyun and sneered: "This palace has always heard that Jieyu knows books and etiquette, and I saw it today, and that's it." ”

Zhaoyun asked: "My sister is stupid, I don't know where to be rude to my sister, and I ask my sister to give me advice." Concubine Ping snorted coldly, and said: "Jieyu just saluted to the palace, and before the palace said that she was flat, Jieyu stood up by herself, but was she rude?" Before Zhaoyun could answer, Concubine Ping deliberately raised her voice and said coldly: "Yes, your father is a hussar general and has made great contributions to the country, and as the daughter of a general, it is inevitable that you will be a little arrogant." Besides, you are extremely beautiful, I am afraid that Daji and Bao Xi are not as good as you, Jieyu is only afraid that she is selfishly thinking that she will be able to be a concubine in the future, and even more than the palace, so she doesn't take the palace in her eyes. ”

Zhaoyun saw Concubine Ping's words, with insinuations in her words, and compared herself to Daji, Bao Xi, and other sinners who calamitized the country, and she was already unhappy in her heart, and she wanted to argue a few words, but she was afraid that Concubine Ping would find her own words that relied on her father's merits and were arrogant in her words and deeds, so she was unpleasant under pressure, and Zhengse replied: "My sister has no such intention, if there is anything inconsiderate, I hope my sister will forgive me." As he spoke, he solemnly bowed to Concubine Ping.

Concubine Ping saw Zhaoyun saluting respectfully, but she just looked at Zhaoyun coldly, and said after a while: "Get up." Zhaoyun stood up and forced a smile: "If Sister Pingfei has nothing else to do, my sister will retire first." ”

Concubine Ping glanced at Zhaoyun and said lightly: "Is Jieyu very unhappy to talk to this palace, so anxious to leave?" ”

Although Zhaoyun has a very good cultivation, he is also very angry when he sees that Concubine Ping deliberately finds fault and is aggressive. But considering that Concubine Ping is in the concubine position after all, she is just a Jieyu, so she has to swallow her anger. Therefore, although he was angry, he still said with a smile on his face: "I don't know what else Sister Pingfei has to say?" ”

Concubine Ping said lightly: "I don't dare to advise, but I just have a few words to tell Jieyu, Jieyu has entered the palace, I hope Jieyu can serve carefully, keep her duty, and don't cause more trouble." ”

Zhaoyun heard Concubine Ping's second half of the sentence obviously aggravate her tone, and only smiled faintly: "What my sister taught is very true, and my sister keeps it in mind." Concubine Ping snorted coldly and said, "I hope Jieyu will remember today's teachings in this palace", and then turned to leave.

On the way back to the palace, Bai Zhi saw that Zhaoyun's face was gloomy, and persuaded on the side: "Concubine Ping has always been like this, the little master should not be angry about this, if he is angry, he will cheapen others in vain." The queen mother is in charge of all the affairs of the six palaces, if the little lord really suffers any grievances, she can make it clear to the queen mother, and the queen will definitely uphold justice for the little lord. ”

When Zhaoyun heard this, he thought: Bai Zhi has only served me for more than a day, and when she saw me humiliated, she actually hugged me for me, which shows that there is also some humanity in this deep palace. Thinking like this, the unhappiness was swept away, and he smiled lightly: "When I first entered the palace, Sister Concubine Ping just taught me a few words, why am I angry, let alone any grievances." I know that you are good for me, but don't talk about this to others, otherwise it will reach the ears of Concubine Ping, and you will be the one who has been wronged. Bai Zhi lowered her head and said, "The slave understands." ”

After a tiring morning, Zhaoyun lay down to rest after lunch, not wanting to sleep very sweetly, and when he woke up, it was almost dusk. Bai Zhi saw Zhaoyun wake up, hurriedly served tea, and said earnestly: "The little master is so sleepy, he actually slept for three hours, but I am afraid that it will be dark in a while." ”

Zhaoyun took the tea, took a few sips, and said with a smile: "I have never slept for so long, because of today's canonization, I couldn't sleep last night, and I didn't sleep well all night. After a pause, he suddenly remembered something, and said to Bai Zhi: "What is the emperor's will?" ”

Bai Zhi knew in her heart that Zhaoyun was asking about sleeping tonight, and replied with a smile: "Ancestral etiquette, every fifth or sixth day, the emperor is bound to stay in the queen's palace, and if you want to wait until tomorrow night, you will summon the little master to sleep." ”

When Zhaoyun heard this, he actually put down his hanging heart, thinking: Although you must sleep when you enter the palace, it is good to be one day late. Suddenly, I thought of Zixuan in my heart, and sighed to myself: I don't know what Brother Zixuan is doing now, since I have entered the deep palace, it will be difficult to see each other again in the future, and it is useless to think about it more, but it is good to let go, but it is not easy to let go.

In the twilight, Zhaoyun felt bored staying in the hall, remembering the auspicious Jieyu that Bai Zhi said yesterday, and said: "Bai Zhi, there is nothing to do at night, if you accompany me to Zhong Lingxuan, I would like to see this auspicious Jieyu who is 'unbelievable in the world, and has been born for thousands of years'." ”

Zhong Lingxuan, when Xiang Jieyu heard the palace maid's report that "Xia Jieyu came to visit", her face showed joy, and she hurriedly said: "Please come in." When Zhaoyun entered the house, Xiang Jieyu looked Zhaoyun up and down, and said with a smile: "My sister is really beautiful, I was thinking about going to my sister's place just now, but I didn't want my sister to come first." ”

When Zhaoyun heard this, he smiled gently: "I heard Bai Zhi say that my sister is proficient in poetry and books, and her piano and chess skills are even more perfect, and she admires her heart, so she came to visit." ”

Xiang Jieyu smiled and said: "Sister, where is this, you and I are the same people, how can I talk about admiration and visit." But anyone who can enter the palace to serve the emperor, which one is not without talent, there are those who are proficient in poetry and books, and there are also those who are good at Danqing. ”

Zhaoyun smiled faintly: "That is the case, my sister is brave and wants to listen to my sister play a song, I don't know if my sister is willing to let my sister listen to the good news." ”

Xiang Jieyu said happily: "Originally, when I met my sister for the first time, I was still thinking about what kind of meeting gift I wanted to give to my sister. Zhaoyun smiled.

Xiang Jieyu sat down, plucked a pluck of the strings, adjusted the timbre, and began to play, first the sound of the piano was clear, and then there was a masking sound, and then the sound of the piano turned sharply, gradually becoming peaceful, and finally ended with a pointing to the piano, and it ended with a sound.

After hearing this, Zhaoyun smiled lightly: "Sister is going to test me, fortunately, my sister has also read a few piano scores, and she also knows a little bit about various ancient songs, otherwise she will really be stumped by my sister." ”

Xiang Jieyu smiled gently: "Then sister, let's talk about it, which song did I play just now?" ”

Zhaoyun smiled and said: "At the beginning of my sister, I played "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix", which was originally a song of longing played by Sima Xiangru to Wenjun because of Mu Wenjun's talent, but my sister has not finished playing, but she played a song "Yangchun" with a sharp turn in the sound of the piano, but it ended with the tune of "White Snow", is what my sister said right? ”

Xiang Jieyu listened to it, secretly surprised, "Yang Chun" and "White Snow" two songs and their elegance, if not proficient in Yaoqin, ordinary people will never be able to hear it, it is a good talent in the music workshop, I am afraid that I can listen to one of the songs is also extraordinary, Zhaoyun can actually hear it, it can be seen that Zhaoyun's piano art is by no means below himself.

Thinking of this, Xiang Jieyu couldn't help but admire: "My sister has good ears, and she listens to it without any difference, and my sister admires it." ”

When Zhaoyun heard this, he smiled lightly and said: "These two songs were originally composed by Shi Kuang, a famous musician of the Jin Kingdom during the Spring and Autumn Period. Later, this song spread to Chu, and Song Yu, a doctor of Chu Guoshi, commented that "it is its song that is high, and its harmony is widowed", and even the "Magical Secret Spectrum" written by Zhu Quan in the early Ming Dynasty also said that "Yang Chun" takes the meaning of all things to know spring, and the wind is light; "White Snow" takes the awe-inspiring and clean, and the sound of snow and bamboo is colorful. These two songs are the best of the piano songs. Today, I can hear my sister play a song, and my sister is fortunate to have three lives. ”

When Xiang Jieyu heard this, she exclaimed: "I have always heard that my sister is proficient in poetry and books, and I don't want to have such a high insight in piano art. ”

Zhaoyun smiled faintly: "My sister is not talented, I just know a little bit about it, after listening to my sister play this song, I know that my sister must be a person with a noble temperament, and I ask my sister to teach me more in the future." ”

Xiang Jieyu laughed softly: "My sister's knowledge is better than Yi'an's, and her talent is better than Wenjun's, why should she be so humble." After a pause, he said: "In the past, when the pianist Boya played "High Mountain" and "Flowing Water", only the child period could appreciate the meaning of the piano, and the two became bosom friends. Now it seems that my sister is actually in my child. ”

Zhaoyun was about to answer, when he suddenly heard a burst of laughter coming in from outside the hall.
