Chapter 100: Guo Qingyun steals the limelight
At this time, a father-in-law shouted loudly on the side: "The emperor has arrived~"
The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became solemn, and all the people, including the queen, left their seats and knelt respectfully in front of them. β
The rest of the people shouted in unison: "Long live the emperor, long live, long live!" β
The emperor was in high spirits. He pulled the queen in front of him up and said to everyone: "Let's be even!" This is a feast for the Xu family, and I hope everyone will not be restrained. β
Everyone stood up from the ground and said yes, but the emperor is here, whose heart is unrestrained?
Fortunately, the emperor just came over to deal with it, and left after not staying long. Most of the people in the hall breathed a sigh of relief, although there was more or less a trace of regret hidden in their hearts, a trace of regret that they failed to shine in front of the emperor.
People didn't have much entertainment at this time. After the palace banquet, it is nothing more than a dance such as a silk and bamboo orchestra, or a poem to be recited, but the requirements for the recital are a little high, although the people present are all educated rich children, there are really few who can be talented and fluent. In addition, the queen didn't like this, so the rest of the people just sat there and watched the performance of the palace maids and prostitutes. For a while, everyone was bored.
After chatting with the people of the Xu Mansion, the queen leaned on the chair with one hand, as if she was not interested in the movements of the outside world.
At this time, Guo Qingyun stepped forward with lotus steps, and she knelt down gently in front of the queen.
The queen was very puzzled: "Guo Qingyun, what are you doing here?" β
Guo Qingyun smiled sweetly and said softly: "Back to the queen, the little girl is fortunate to see the queen today, and she is moved by the queen's majesty. Qingyun's piano skills are not good, and it is insulting to listen to the mother......"
The queen has been immersed in the palace for many years, what kind of sycophants have not been heard? It's just that she saw that Guo Qingyun was a likable. It was not good to brush her face, so he said, "Oh? Try it, this palace is very tired! β
Guo Qingyun received an affirmative answer and felt relieved. The smile on his face was even brighter.
She took out the piano she had prepared, sat down on the floor in the middle of the hall, and began to play the piano with a gesture of her fingers. The queen was accustomed to hearing the beautiful sounds of the palace, and occasionally heard this magnificent music. I couldn't help but be intrigued.
It can be seen that Guo Qingyun has been practicing for a long time.
Guo Qingyun was playing the piano, but his eyes looked in the direction of King Liang from time to time, only to see that King Liang was still that lukewarm, he either lowered his head to drink tea, or closed his eyes to recuperate, but he didn't even look at himself.
Guo Jia followed her gaze and happened to see King Liang bow his head.
She sighed in her heart: Guo Qingyun is also a smart woman, why can't she think about it and fall in love with an iceberg!
And the queen who looks gentle and docile and ignorant of the world. also saw Guo Qingyun's small movements.
She was moved by Guo Qingyun's piano sound, and she also saw Guo Qingyun looking like she was crying, and she wanted to help her.
The queen put down her wine glass, covered it with her sleeve, and gently wiped the corner of her mouth that was stained with wine. Then, she said softly: "King Liang was also a merry man in the past. Hongu still remembers that you have a pair of jade flutes called Huyun and Zhaoyue, right? β
King Liang replied: "Niangniang's memory is really good, it's just." I have sealed this pair of jade flutes for a long time, and I have long since stopped carrying them with me. β
"Oh! Is it? The queen's face showed regret, "This is a bit of a pity!" This palace still thinks that I haven't heard you blow the flute for a long time, and I still miss it a little! β
"!" Guo Qingyun suddenly stopped playing in his hand. Said shyly to the queen, "Qingyun brought a jade flute!" β
The queen smiled: "This is great! King Liang, this palace is happy today, and I would like you to play a song for us, how about it? β
King Liang arched his hand: "Since it is a mother's life, Xiao Wang happily agreed!" β
"Huh. It's better for you to play a song with Qingyun, and the effect will be better! β
King Liang smiled and nodded. Guo Qingyun didn't expect this unexpected joy, she glanced at the queen in surprise, knowing that her careful thoughts were seen through by the queen, she lowered her head, her cheeks flushed with shame.
So the two of them played a piano and a flute, and their cooperation was very tacit, which was seamless.
Guo Qingyun raised his head to look at King Liang from time to time, but King Liang always looked indifferent, ignoring her gaze.
After the song was played, the queen looked at this pair of beautiful people and was very satisfied.
She asked Guo Qingyun: "Qingyun, how long have you been practicing this piano?" β
Guo Qingyun smiled shyly and replied: "Back to the queen's mother, Qingyun is stupid and has practiced for several days!" β
The queen couldn't help but be a little surprised: "Oh! You've only been practicing for a few days, and you have such a high attainment, and you're so humble and polite, which really makes this palace more and more happy! Is there a good match? β
Guo Qingyun's face turned red, glanced at King Liang, and stopped talking.
Qi hurriedly took over the conversation and said, "Queen Mother, our Qingyun has grown to such a big age, and we haven't found a good husband!" β
The queen nodded thoughtfully, then remained silent.
She looked at King Liang and saw that he still looked indifferent, so she swallowed back what she wanted to say.
The queen quietly changed the topic, she praised Guo Qingyun with a smile: "Presumably, with Qingyun's piano skills, I'm afraid that we are unsurpassed in Yongning City, right?" β
Although Guo Qingyun was a little disappointed, he still replied with a smile and obediently: "Niangniang is too praised, but Niangniang doesn't often go out of the palace, I'm afraid I don't know, if you talk about who has the best piano skills in the world, I'm afraid that there is no one who can compare to a son named Shen Qing!" β
Guo Jia was burying her head in small bites of snacks on the table, and when she heard this, she couldn't help but glance up at Guo Qingyun......
"Oh?" When the queen heard this name, her heart moved slightly, "Who is he?" β
"Hui Niangniang, no one knows the origin of this person, but his piano skills are one top and one good!"
The queen suddenly became interested: "If there is a chance, the palace must invite him to the palace!" β
Guo Qingyun said with a light smile: "Niangniang doesn't know, this Shen Gongzi is a proud person, and he never goes to any high-ranking official and nobleman who invites him." β
The queen suddenly felt a little disgusted with this person named Shen Qing who had never met.
Guo Jia ate the dim sum in front of her in a low-key manner, and thought indifferently: It doesn't matter! You are smearing me here, it's a big deal that this girl sees the trick. (To be continued.) )
