It seems that there is no real poetry and books around him, and the woman of Xiaofengyue is accompanied by it, but that day in the Lixiang Courtyard happened to meet Cao Jieyu who played the piano, after several understandings, I knew that this woman knew the rhythm of music, read poetry and books, Cao's temperament was dignified, the description was beautiful, and she had the graceful charm of a Jiangnan woman, although she was a rival in love, but she liked Cao very much. Comfort parrot

Let's say that after breakfast, it was like having nothing to do and wanted to find someone to talk to, so I remembered Cao's, so I sent Chunxiang to Ziquan Palace to invite her, and she herself took Cuicui and Xiuxiu to Lixiang Courtyard together, during which she also instructed the two girls to bring the piano and the newly brewed pear blossom white.

It was as if the Cao family also arrived at Lixiangyuan for a while, "The concubine gave the queen a mother's affection, and the mother was happy." "Cao Shi is still wearing a purple dress, slightly applying fat powder, describing it as graceful, as if he felt fresh and tactful when he saw her, and said with a faint smile;" Sister Cao, hurry up, they are all their own sisters, no need to be polite. Seeing that Cao was a little restrained, he seemed to take the initiative to pull her to sit down next to him.

There are hundreds of pear trees planted in the pear fragrance courtyard, one by one pear trees are scattered with each other according to certain rules, between the pavilions and the pear trees, each one is tall and straight, the sunlight is completely covered, it is now midsummer, it is most suitable to come here to enjoy the coolness, although the pear blossoms are not seen like snow when you look up, the small pears of the blue color are also very gratifying.

It is like sitting on a long bamboo chair in the middle of the Lixiang Courtyard with Cao, and a long stone table is placed in front of him, on which are placed fresh fruits, a jade wine jug, and two jade jade cups, and the jade cups are filled with pink and white new wine called pear blossom white.

It's like holding the wine glass up to Cao Shidao beside him first; "How about a taste of the freshly brewed pear blossom white sister?"

Cao Shi slowly picked up the wine glass, took a sip and nodded repeatedly, "Soft and refreshing, the concubine seems to smell the fragrance of pear blossoms." ”

It's like drinking the road; "If there is really the fragrance of pear blossoms, if the pear blossoms are full of branches, sit in the opposite Wangxue Pavilion while enjoying the pear blossoms with spring rain when the drizzle is drizzling, and drink this pear blossom white is the most comfortable." The thought of missing this year's pear blossom is like a slight regret.

Cao's Road; "Niangniang's idea is really chic, the concubine heard that this pear fragrance courtyard was built in the eighth year of Taizong, when Emperor Taizong had a Wu Xue concubine who preferred pear blossoms, Taizong built this pear fragrance courtyard for Bo Hongyan smiled, Emperor Taizong is a son of heaven, once with Taizu in the south and north war, good at using formations, even the pear tree of this pear fragrance courtyard is also planted in accordance with the five elements of gossip, every year when the pear blossoms are in full bloom, Taizong will sit with the snow concubine and drink pear blossoms in the Wangxue Pavilion." It was as if holding a wine glass and listening carefully to Cao's story about the origin of Lixiangyuan, nodding from time to time, "Sister Cao is really well-informed, I don't even know this." "Seeing that it was like praising himself, Cao Shi was busy and humble;" Niangniang has won the award, and the concubine just listened to her mother, if she says that she is well-informed and knowledgeable, how can the concubine be compared with Niangniang, just now she is just selling articles in front of the saint, and Niangniang does not think that the concubine is shabby. ”

It's like a way; 'My sister is modest, I listened to my sister play a good piano that day, so I specially brought the piano today and wanted to invite my sister to play a song, I don't know if my sister is willing? ”

Seeing that the queen looked up to herself so much, the Cao family was naturally flattered, and hurriedly said that it was a great honor to thank Niangniang not to dislike the concubine, but when the concubine was in her mother's house, she heard that Niangniang was still the princess of Fu at that time, and she had the stunt of the lotus silk qin to deter Hami Hami and several other feudal countries, and the concubine had always hoped to listen to the wonderful sound of Niangniang's lotus silk.

It's like a way; "Since my sister wants to listen to it and go to my Sun Moon Xuan another day, I will naturally entertain my sister with the sound of the lotus silk piano, but today I have no interest in playing the piano, I just want to be a listener, and my sister Lao will play a song for me to relieve the boredom in my heart."

Cao Shi didn't shirk it, Chunxiang brought the piano in front of him, Cao rolled up his sleeves, revealing his slender white arms, and his fingers like onions gently swept slowly on the strings, followed by a string of wonderful sounds.

After Cao swept the strings a few times, there was a tactful song "Sighing Flowers", still playing and chanting, "Self-hatred is looking for fragrance until late, and I have seen it in the early years." Now the wind is swinging the flowers in a mess, and the green leaves are full of branches. ’

The sound of the piano is like flowing water, and it is like a group of beads falling on the jade plate, tactfully turning to listen, Cao's playing the piano with love and strings, describing moving.

After listening to the song, it seemed to be praised again and again, and then Cao played another song "Mountains and Flowing Water".

The two songs seem to have a better impression of Cao's family, Cao's piano skills are not below herself, even higher than herself, but she is not publicized at all, this is a good cultivation of everyone's ladies, but also entered the palace with it, Pan Guiren with a similar background does not like it, Pan's posture is overwhelming, so he is arrogant, humble and easy-going, far less than Cao's, although he has an invitation to Cao, but Wanruo can't make up his mind to send her to Murong Yichuan's dragon bed.

As if he was thinking about it, he heard the palace maid say that Princess Zi Yan had arrived, and after a while, Zi Yan had come to the front with colorful clouds.

Zi Yan was very strange when she saw the woman playing the piano next to her, but it happened that Zi Yan was also wearing a purple dress today.

Although Cao and Zi Yan wore the same color gauze skirt, Cao's skirt had any texture in the morning, and the color was slightly lighter, and the hem of Zi Yan's skirt fell with a gem the size of a grain of rice, showing its dignity.

As if he was busy pointing to Zi Yan and Cao's introduction; "This eldest princess Ziyan,." Then he pointed at Cao and said to Ziyan; "This is your imperial brother's new concubine, Cao Jieyu, the daughter of the general soldier of Bishui Pass."

The Cao family hurriedly got up and walked to Zi Yan to greet her, "Concubine Ziquan Palace Jieyu Cao Xiujuan to the eldest princess to say goodbye." Princess Chitose Chitose Chitose. ”

Zi Yan looked at the woman in front of her condescendingly and nodded, "Let's be flat." ”

Zi Yan naturally sat in the position just now of the Cao family, so the Cao family had to stand with his head bowed on the side.

Cao's family is a woman who knows how to measure, she saw that Zi Yan was close to Wanruo, and knew that she was not suitable here, so she hurriedly bowed, "The concubine will not disturb the queen mother and the eldest princess to talk, and will leave first." ”

After Cao left, Zi Yan stroked the strings, and said like a way; "This Cao family looks very well-behaved, and the sister-in-law asked her to sit with her, she seems to like her, she is modest and low-key, so much so that she is a bit like the concubine of the first emperor's brother."

As if thinking about it for a while and nodded, "It's rare that the Cao family is talented, there are many beauties in the harem, but there are few who are really talented and cultivated, she is indeed a bit similar to Yun Sleeve, but she is more cultivated than Yun Sleeve, maybe she is tall and Yun Sleeve, and she has received a good upbringing since she was a child." ”

Zi Yan took a bite of the apricot, and then said; "It's also a new concubine, and she wasn't fortunate to be visited by the royal brother, her sister-in-law prefers the Cao family, and snubs the Pan family, so the Pan family will naturally be jealous of the Cao family and resentful of the sister-in-law."

For Zi Yan's kind reminder, she smiled disdainfully, and said lightly whatever she is, the elegance of the Pan family is peerless, but the young cultivator, when I see her, I think of the emperor's Ximen concubine, she is just a noble person now, if she really becomes a concubine in the future, she will somehow be high.

When the two of them were talking, they suddenly heard the beautiful singing of the singers in the imperial garden, but it was an ancient song when they listened carefully, "There are beautiful women in the north" when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, there are beautiful women in the north, peerless and independent, one cares about the city, and then the country, rather than know the city and the country, the beauty is difficult to get. The singers' singing voices are lingering and tactful, with deep affection and sweetness.

Zi Yan hurriedly sent Caiyun to inquire why there was singing, and Caiyun came back after not much effort, "Princess Qiyu, the slave maid just inquired and said that the emperor ordered the musicians and singers in the palace to sing on the Qingfeng Pavilion to cheer up. ”

As soon as she heard that it was Murong Yichuan's meaning, her eyebrows moved slightly, and Zi Yan then asked where the emperor was now?

Choi Wan Dao; "The emperor and Lord Shangguan are playing chess in the Taiji Palace."
