Chapter 19: A Nightmare Come True
When they arrived at the palace, they arranged with other daughters in the Qianjiao Palace, which was originally a place where show girls were always placed, but because it was still early for the next draft, it was currently empty, and it was just used for them to live temporarily.
Zilan was in the same room with Ruoshui because she was by the way, she glanced at Ruoshui who was packing up her belongings a few times, and couldn't help but ask tentatively.
"Sister Ruoshui, you say, will this talent contest really be like the fourth lady said, choosing a concubine for the ninth prince?"
Ruo Sailor's movements paused, then looked at Zilan and chuckled.
"I don't know about this, the old lady didn't say it."
She didn't mean to hide it from Zilan, this is really not easy to say directly, originally because of the talent competition, Zilan was already unhappy, if she knew that there was such a meaning in it, she was afraid that Zilan would have a grudge against the old lady, although she knew the old lady's embarrassment, but Zilan would not necessarily think like this.
Zilan's face was very natural, but she was sneering in her heart, if she hadn't inadvertently heard it clearly outside the door, she would have really been deceived, Ruoshui, she actually hid it from me, it seems that her usual high and clear are pretended, what she likes to be plain and simple, it's just an excuse to hide people's ears.
Walking to the chair next to the coffee table and sitting down, Zilan still had a faint smile on her face.
"If you really choose a concubine for the Nine Princes, you have a good chance of winning according to your sister's talent, so don't know your sister when the time comes."
If the water adjusts the feelings, a trace of astonishment flashed on his face.
"Sister said with a smile, don't say it's just a rumor, even if it's true, what if I tell the fourth lady, the ninth prince will definitely not look down on my identity."
The corners of Zilan's lips are slightly hooked, even if she can't look at it, there is a relationship with the old lady, it is still very possible to be a side concubine, the old lady is really eccentric, even if she has a bad background, as long as the old lady doesn't say it, who will know?
But now she knew that it was not good to argue about it anymore, so she laughed.
"Hehe, since it's a rumor, then let's not be distracted by such speculations, it's still early, why don't you accompany your sister to see the piano that the Queen Mother specially prepared for her sister?"
For Zilan's construction, Ruoshui agrees very much, this piano is said to be a treasure in the palace, named Fengluan, which was specially prepared for her by the Queen Mother looking at the face of the old lady.
This Feng Luanqin, there is an allusion to it.
It is said that the queen mother loves music and rhythm today, at the beginning, it was with this piano, played a song Luan Feng and Ming, so moved the emperor, the first emperor sighed, then named this piano Fengluan, to commemorate the first encounter with the queen mother, but also to express his affection for the queen mother.
But the good times did not last long, the first emperor has been in poor health, in the prince was still in his infancy due to serious illness and died, so far after ten years, the queen mother will seal this piano, never touched it again, so as not to see the sadness, now, she will take out the phoenix from the treasure pavilion to her, it can be seen that this glory is great, estimated, but also understand the meaning of the old lady, so I also want her to borrow this piano, a song to touch the heart of the nine princes.
Looking at this Fengluan, which has been dusty for many years, Ruoshui sighed in his heart, the years are in a hurry, the world is changing, this Fengluan, but it is still as beautiful as ever.
"Sister, sit down and play and watch."
Seeing such a beautiful piano, Zilan also liked it very much, and hurriedly urged Ruoshui.
Ruoshui smiled at her, and then sat down and played, the song she played this time was temporarily composed, immersed in its allusions, pinning her thoughts, emotions, and sentimentality about personnel, and expectations for love, every melody, every note, are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, so that people listen to the heart of the soft heart, infatuated, Zilan on the side is also infected by this music, and her face is full of longing for the future.
"Sister, what's the name of this song, why haven't I heard you play it before?"
Ruoshui stood up and sighed softly.
"It's just that I just suddenly felt it."
"Such a nice tune, sister, let's give it a name."
Ruoshui paused slightly.
"Since my sister is a talented woman, then please ask my sister to give her a name."
Zilan was very happy.
"Really? It's rare for my sister to be able to afford it, so I have to let my sister and I think about it well, but I can't get it casually and spoil such a beautiful tune. ”
After Zilan finished speaking, she sat down excitedly, put her ten fingers on the strings, and played herself according to the song of Ruoshui.
Ruoshui's face flashed with surprise, Zilan is a talented woman, and she is naturally proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but she didn't expect that she hadn't heard her play the piano for a long time, this piano art has actually improved a lot, this song, imitated subtlely, but the only regret is that there is less lingering that should be, and more of a good lofty atmosphere, but ordinary people can't hear it, the piano follows the hearts of the people, this Zilan's heart is unwilling to be ordinary after all.
When the water saw that she was playing obsessively, he could not bear to interrupt her, so he went out of the house and prepared to come in with some fruit.
This treasure pavilion is an important place, guarded by strong martial arts guards, if the water is not good to instruct people to leave their posts to help her get fruits, then casually asked, go to get it yourself, all the way to see a palace maid, fortunately the fruit storage room in this compartment is not far from here, through a few corridors will also arrive.
When walking up to the last corridor, Ruoshui's mood is inexplicably relaxed, this corridor is very beautiful, the white jade paved ground, the mahogany carved railing, there are many unknown flower trees planted outside the railing, the flower trees are full of pink flowers, the wind blows, wafting a burst of fragrance, Ruoshui takes a deep breath, and feels the beauty of nature.
Hey, that's not right.
Mahogany carved balustrades? Unknown flower trees? How is this scene so familiar, as if I have seen it somewhere, but where?
Ruoshui paused, rubbed her temples with her fingers and frowned and pondered, before she could remember, her body suddenly became lighter, and she was taken by someone and carried into the air, Ruoshui turned her head in shock, but she only had time to catch a glimpse of the corners of her white clothes, and her mouth was covered with her hands and she couldn't scream, she suddenly remembered in her mind, isn't this the scene she had in her dream that night? Mahogany carved railings, unknown flowers, and that, that evil man.
Thinking of this, Ruoshui couldn't help but tremble, and his heart suddenly panicked. , she should, not be so lucky, right?
Just when her heart was in turmoil, the person had been brought to the roof, feeling the weight on her body, Ruoshui's eyes widened, the man in front of her who looked extremely handsome, but smiled evilly, not who the damn evil man was, it was still early at this time, and the red sun that had not yet set reflected his face even more sloppy, but it also made his bad smile more obvious.
Ruoshui howled in his heart, the sky, the earth, is it good not to play like this, this girl has never dreamed of it, and when she meets this evil man, she really has changed her dreams?
