Qin Min got up and said respectfully: "Back to the Queen Mother, these four ladies are like pearls and beautiful jades, Chunlan and autumn chrysanthemums, and they are good at winning. If it is only about appearance, Xiao Wang really doesn't know which one to choose. ”

Empress Dowager Sun was dissatisfied: "Although these four girls are all beauties, but in the end, there is also a distinction between superior and inferior, if you want to see this palace, the girl in the red dress is the most beautiful." At this time, what kind of suspicion do you avoid, you hide behind a curtain, how can you see the appearance of these four ladies clearly, why don't you remove the curtain quickly. Let them come to you one by one, and if you look closely, you will definitely feel that the girl in red is the most beautiful. ”

Qin Min stopped the palace people who were about to move the curtain open, and said with a smile: "The Queen Mother, marry a wife and marry a virtuous wife, Xiao Wang just wants to marry a woman who is in love with each other and has the same heart as his wife, whether it is stunning or not, it doesn't matter much." ”

Empress Dowager Sun snorted coldly, "Since these four girls can pass the first five levels, they are naturally all virtuous." You can see at a glance whether this life is beautiful or not, but you are in love with each other and have the same heart, how to choose? ”

Qin Min coughed twice and said: "It's easy, people often say that the way of husband and wife is like the piano and the song, the four ladies are all good at the piano, although Xiao Wang can't play the seer, he also likes to play the flute in his spare time." I wanted to play a piece of flute music, and asked the four ladies to think of a piece of piano music with a stick of incense, to see if they could play the meaning of Xiao Wang's song, and resonate with Xiao Wang's flute and flute. ”

Mrs. Dingxi Hou praised with her palm: "There is a good story about Boya's song of flowing water and meeting a bosom friend, and His Royal Highness uses this method to find a 'bosom friend' person, which is really wonderful!" ”

Duchess Wei Guo also echoed: "This method is excellent, and I have heard for a long time that His Royal Highness's Xiaoqu is a must in Beijing, and it is impossible to hear it when you are idle, today can be regarded as a coincidence, we can also listen to it with our own ears!" ”

Empress Dowager Sun had seen her all night, and the old lady of Weiguo Gong had already completely stood on the side of Concubine Yingchuan, and couldn't help but scold her in her heart. Remembering that her nephew told her that Cao and Jin Ernu are both talented girls who play the piano very well and are proficient in the piano, it shouldn't be difficult to get along with Qin Min's flute song, so she said: "Okay, grandmother will depend on you once, but this concubine grandmother let you choose by yourself according to your wishes, and you have to listen to your grandmother for the concubine this time?" ”

In this way, even if the girl in her family can't be with Qin Minqin Xiao and Ming, as long as she can grab a place for the second concubine of Yingchuan first, she will already be invincible.

Qin Min had expected that Empress Dowager Sun would put a girl from her Sun family by his side anyway, rather than being insubmissive and angering her, it was better to agree for the time being, and choose his favorite princess first, as for the second concubine who would be forced to him, he also had his own way to deal with it.

He bowed and saluted: "Thank you for the beauty of the Queen Mother, the second concubine is the choice of the mother." ”

At one time, the attendant took the warm jade flute of King Yingchuan, and a yaoqin was also placed in the middle of the main hall.

Qin Min saw that the four girls were all sitting intently, waiting to listen to his flute sound, so he smiled slightly, sent the jade flute to his lips, pursed his lips and blew, the rhyme was tactful, lingering and moving, and at the end of the song, everyone still felt that its sound was lingering, and the aftermath was lingering.

The two old ladies heard King Yingchuan's flute for the first time, although they couldn't understand the rhythm, and they couldn't tell what was good about this song, but they just thought it was good, and they had never heard such a good tune again, and they couldn't help but praise it.

Empress Dowager Sun was more concerned about whether the two girls in her family could play the qin music of Ying and this flute, and saw that Cao and Jin were all bitter and at a loss. She was anxious, so she said: "Don't make any noise first, you guys are talking hotly, the four of them still want to think about the piano music, don't disturb them!" ”

The two old ladies had to stop talking, turned their heads to look at the four girls below, and saw that they were all frowning. Empress Dowager Sun and Mrs. Zuo Xiang also looked embarrassed when they saw Zhou Caiwei, and they were immediately a little relieved, it seems that this King Yingchuan did not collude with Zhou Caiwei in advance, and leaked a piano song or something for her, but it can be regarded as fair and selfless.

These two women secretly praised King Yingchuan in their hearts for being worthy of being a humble gentleman, and they didn't play any shady tricks behind their backs, but Zhou Caiwei had a feeling that she was cheating, because this song played by Qin Min was not the first time she had heard it.

She only listened to the first sentence, and she could tell that this song was the day after Zeng Yi divorced her, when she was crying alone in the Liubi Pavilion, the wisp of flute that quietly came into her ears to comfort her.

At that time, she suspected that most of the people who played the flute were His Royal Highness King Yingchuan, and now it seems that there will be no one else except him.

On that day, why did he comfort me with a flute in the bamboo forest? And today, why did he deliberately choose this tune to play?

Could it be ......

Don't you want me to be Princess Yingchuan, this is not just what Concubine Shen means, but also in his heart?

He wanted me to be his wife, not just because Concubine Shen told him about my benefits, but because ......

Cai Wei didn't dare to think about it anymore, because she found that just thinking about it so slightly, she was already like a deer, and her face was feverish, if she thought about it again, she was afraid that the joy in her heart could no longer be hidden.

And at this moment, the last thing she can show her face is joy, otherwise if she is seen by the Empress Dowager Sun and Mrs. Zuo Xiang, she will definitely wonder if King Yingchuan has already communicated with her and told her how to play the piano.

Therefore, she had to force herself not to think nonsense for the time being, frowned, and made a look of embarrassment, looking like Cao and Jin, who were helpless and anxious. However, Cui Qijun's eyebrows stretched at this time, with a smug look on his chest.

Seeing that a stick of incense had burned out, Qin Min coughed lightly, "The time has come, I don't know which young lady will come to play with Xiao Wang first?" ”

It is indeed not easy to choose who plays first, although the person who plays later can listen to the sound of the flute of the king of Yingchuan once or twice more, and have more effort to think about it, but if the person who plays first directly and the king of Yingchuan Qin Xiao and the song, then there is no matter of a few people behind?

Cui Qijun thought about it like this, and thought that her piano skills were extraordinary, so she said: "Since several sisters are so humble, it is better for me to come first." ”

Concubine Yingchuan smiled and said: "I have heard that Miss Cui plays the piano very well, and she won the first place in the fourth level competition, but unfortunately I have never heard of Miss Cui's piano skills that day, and I can feast my ears today." ”

King Yingchuan raised the jade flute and said, "Please!" And he blew it first.

Cui Qijun took a deep breath, plucked the strings, and also played with a ding-dong, at first she played very smoothly, but the more cheerful she played, the more sad everyone next to her listened.

The original sound of the flute of King Yingchuan was disturbed by the sound of her piano, which was unbearable, just like a lark was crying tactfully, and suddenly there was a crow's cry □□ the side, and everyone felt that their ears hurt.

Cui Qijun naturally felt that something was wrong, and even more fingers flew around, trying to keep up with King Yingchuan's tune. She felt that the flute sound was like a lark soaring in the air at will, leisurely, and she was desperately chasing after her, the harder she tried to catch up with the flute, but was pulled down farther, and could only helplessly watch the lark fly farther and farther......

King Yingchuan's flute music flowed at this time, like vibranium jade, but Cui Qijun's hands slipped off the strings in a dejected manner, and she still couldn't catch up with the wonderful flute sound of King Yingchuan.

Although Cui Qijun couldn't play with Yingchuan Wang Qinxiao and Ming, she still forced to play a short paragraph, and when Cao and Jin Ernu came on the field, one played three notes, and the other played five notes, and then she didn't know how to start. was so angry that Empress Dowager Sun almost didn't overturn the teacup in front of her.

At this time, only Zhou Caiwei was left of the four people to be selected, and Mrs. Zuo Xiang was just gone, and the Empress Dowager Sun's eyes were almost fierce when she looked at her, and she couldn't wait for a knife to fall from the sky and chop off her hand, to see how she still played the piano.

Cai Wei didn't care how unkind the Queen Mother's eyes were at her, she slowly walked to the Yaoqin in the hall and sat down, first tuned the strings of the seven strings, and then pressed her hands on the strings, waiting for the sound of the flute of King Yingchuan.

Qin Min glanced at her through the curtain, and suddenly felt that his heart was beating a little fast, and he coughed twice, and even forgot to say the word "please", so he pursed his lips and played.

Before the sound of the flute falls, the sound of the piano will start, and it should be the same as the return. This time, everyone no longer thought that the sound of the piano was a disturbing crow's call, but two yellow orioles singing green willows, singing and flying straight into the clouds all the way.

But listening to the sound of the flute is clear, the sound of the piano is far away, combined into one, complementing each other, the ensemble of these two people is several times better than the previous solo Xiao song played by King Yingchuan alone, until the end of the song between the two of them, the hall is still silent, everyone is still immersed in the fairy music of Fangcai, and has not come back to their senses.

Even Qin Min and Zhou Caiwei were intoxicated by the ensemble of the piano and flute played by the two of them. Neither of them would have thought that the two of them had never had a joint practice beforehand, and they would be able to play together in one place, and such a perfect combination, which shows that this is what people often say that the heart has a soul.

In this silence, there were suddenly a few loud applause, everyone was awakened by this applause, and when they hurriedly turned their heads to look, they saw a young man in a purple robe and a golden crown, who looked like the king of Yingchuan, slapped his face widely, and paced in with Shi Shiran, and said lazily: "Aunt Dowager, you called me like someone urging me, just to let me come over to listen to the third brother's?" ”
