Chapter 104: Pavilion Guzheng
After the beginning of spring, the weather is getting warmer day by day, everything is recovering, the grass is green, and everywhere is full of life. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info the beginning of the rainy season, and it rained for several days in a row, which was not too big, and made people not stay outdoors for a long time. For a time, in the harem, the concubines of each palace could only nest in their own palaces and could not go out.
Everyone stayed in the palace, either playing the piano and embroidering, or reading and writing, and they couldn't help but panic after a long time.
On this day, it was easy for the sky to clear, and the concubines in the palace couldn't help but come out and go to their respective courtyards or back gardens to breathe fresh air and stretch their muscles.
Su Qiaotong has also been suffocated in Hanfang's courtyard in the past few days, and with a few close-fitting palace maids, she sat and drank tea by the small pond in the courtyard.
"Oops, sister! I've been looking for you for a long time, and you're actually sitting here drinking tea? ”
There was no one on the porch, and Concubine Tong Jinghe's voice suddenly sounded, which startled Su Qiaotong.
"The concubine has seen the virtuous concubine." Su Qiaotong hurriedly stood up and greeted him.
"Hurry up, I didn't let the eunuchs on the corridor pass it on, but it scared you." Tong Jinghe gently covered her mouth with a brocade and smiled, with a faint hint of teasing on her face.
Hao Xiao and Mu Chuchu, who were following behind Tong Jinghe, also covered their mouths and chuckled. It seems that the continuous light rain in the past few days has really suffocated everyone, and this kind of trick can also make people feel happy in their hearts and minds.
Su Qiaotong saw that they were deliberately teasing, and said angrily: "Okay! Sisters, are you deliberately scaring me? See if I'm not scared back! ”
As he spoke, he made a gesture of teeth and claws. is going to catch Hao Xiao who is standing behind Concubine Xian.
Hao Xiao has always been quiet, and when he saw Su Qiaotong pounce on him, he didn't do anything, but he screamed first, causing the people around him to laugh.
"Okay, okay, don't make a fuss." Tong Jinghe pretended to be a peacemaker, and gently stopped Su Qiaotong with her hand, lest she really pounce.
Fortunately, Su Qiaotong was also pretending, and when she saw Hao Xiao screaming, she no longer scared her.
"Sister Sue. Such good weather. Why are you still hiding in Hanfangyuan? Let's go to the Imperial Garden to enjoy the flowers. Mu Chuchu was straightforward and lively, and walked over to hold Su Qiaotong's hand. With a frank smile on his face.
"That's right. It's easy for the weather to clear up. What's the point of staying in Hanfang-in? Today, I specially invited a few younger sisters to enjoy the flowers in the Imperial Garden. I've heard. The spring flowers are blooming just right, let's go and take a look. Tong Jinghe also opened his mouth to invite Su Qiaotong.
Su Qiaotong was feeling bored in Hanfang Courtyard, and at this time, there were a few people as companions, and they went to the imperial garden to enjoy the flowers, of course they were happy, and they hurriedly agreed.
After the new rain, the imperial garden is full of moist and shiny, green leaves and red flowers, under the light of the sun, lined with raindrops that have not dried up, even more delicate and tender.
"I heard that this spring rain is as expensive as oil, since the beginning of spring this year, there have been so many good rains one after another, and our harvest in Jiuping this year must be very good." As he walked, Hao Xiao spoke.
"It's still Sister Hao who worries about the world and cares about the people. Speaking of which, this wind and rain are smooth, which has a lot to do with the previous Spring Festival, and Sister Su has contributed a lot in this. Tong Jinghe said, looking at Su Qiaotong who was walking on the side.
"Where can the concubines be regarded as contributing, the Spring Festival, I just attended the dinner, and I broke my bones. It's really hard to contribute. Speaking of this, Su Qiaotong's heart was uncomfortable, the injury on the ribs has not been completely healed until now, and Concubine Xian mentioned the Spring Festival at this time, didn't she sprinkle salt on her wounds.
Tong Jinghe saw Su Qiaotong's face sank, and said with a smile: "Sister, don't be careful, I don't mean anything else." In our harem, there are weak women who can't pick up their shoulders and can't lift their hands. To say that he can contribute to the people of the country is to do his duty as a harem concubine. Sister, in order to cheer up the emperor and the ministers, you hurt your body. Isn't this just doing your part to get home? ”
Su Qiaotong smiled faintly, only hooked the corners of her mouth, the smile did not reach the bottom of her eyes, thinking about the words of Concubine Xian just now, it still made her feel quite uncomfortable.
"Yikes! Look! In the gazebo over there, the furnishings are so beautiful! Mu Chuchu raised his hand and pointed to a gazebo not far away, and exclaimed.
Everyone looked in the direction she pointed out, and sure enough, they saw a curtain hanging in the pavilion not far away, with flowers and fruit plates, and a zither in the middle.
However, outside the pavilion, it was stopped with a cloth rope, and on the wooden plaque next to it, it was written with a brush: No entry.
A few people came to the pavilion in a hurry, but when they saw such a few cold words, they couldn't help but feel disappointed.
"What's going on? The gazebo is beautifully lit, but no one is allowed to enter, what does that mean? Mu Chuchu said angrily, she was straightforward, and at this time she had puffed out her cheeks and pouted her mouth.
"I'm afraid it's specially reserved for a certain concubine in the harem." Hao Xiao said quietly, his eyes kept staring at the guzheng in the middle of the pavilion.
Everyone in the harem knows that Su Baolin is good at singing and dancing, and Hao Xiao is good at musical instruments. As long as the emperor gets any good musical instrument, he will think about rewarding it to Hao Xiao as soon as possible.
Hao Xiao's eyes lingered on the zither, if she was not mistaken, this zither was even better than the flowing water in her current palace. The emperor didn't even think about rewarding her, but placed it here, I don't know who he planned to play.
"Is it for you, sister?" Mu Chuchu's habitual thinking, as soon as he saw that there was a good instrument, he thought that it must be the emperor who wanted to reward Hao Xiao.
Hao Xiao's heart jumped, although she knew that this possibility was very small, but she hoped very much in her heart that she was really convinced by Mu Chuchu that the zither in this pavilion and the layout in this pavilion were all prepared by the emperor for himself.
It's to surprise yourself, so it's a secret and a lot of trouble to arrange it here, right? When the time is right, bring yourself here and surprise yourself.
If this is really the case, the romance of this matter can also be comparable to the lights in the queen's Zhengyang Palace, which has been talked about by the people of the capital before.
Thinking of this, Hao Xiao regretted that he agreed to Concubine Xian's invitation today and came to this imperial garden to enjoy the flowers. Doesn't this break the emperor's mind about himself? Where will there be surprises?
However, even though the honey in his heart had melted into a sea of honey, Hao Xiao still pretended to have a faint expression on his face, and denied: "How could it be prepared for me?" I'm not a saint. I'm afraid it's for someone who has entered the palace. (To be continued.) )
