Chapter 106: Catch the ducks on the shelves
"Sister Hao plays really well! In this harem, when it comes to musical instruments, Sister Hao recognizes the second, and no one dares to recognize the first. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info "Mu Chuchu first recovered from the feeling of immersion, and the words of praise poured to Hao Xiao without hesitation.
Hao Xiao smiled lightly, noncommittal to Mu Chuchu's compliment, and turned his head to look at the virtuous concubines Tong Jinghe and Su Qiaotong on the side. I want to see how the two of them react.
Tong Jinghe and Su Qiaotong also came back to their senses at this time, and praised Hao Xiao's superb skills.
"Oh, Sister Hao's skills have improved again, no wonder the emperor loves you so much, and it will last forever!" Tong Jinghe clapped her hands lightly as she spoke.
"My sister laughed." Hao Xiao bowed his head slightly, and a faint smile appeared on his face.
"Sure enough, it is worthy of its reputation, and listening to Sister Hao's guzheng today is really an eye-opener for me. In the world, there are people with such perfect skills. Su Qiaotong also praised.
Hao Xiao couldn't help but feel a little fluttering in everyone's praise. She has always known her accomplishments in musical instruments, but when she is recognized, she can't help but feel proud.
"Oh, by the way, I heard that Sister Su, you are not only proficient in singing and dancing, but also proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. It's rare to have such an opportunity today, why don't you play a guzheng for us? Tong Jinghe seemed to suddenly remember, and turned her head to ask Su Qiaotong, who was sitting on the side.
Su Qiaotong was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly waved his hand to deny: "No, no, there is no such thing." I only have a rough understanding of Guzheng, where do I dare to be ugly in front of Sister Hao. Isn't that the class getting an axe, and playing a big knife in front of Guan Gong. ”
"How so. Today's spring is just right, and the sisters are also in high spirits. It's not for you to compete with Sister Hao, it's just for everyone to have fun and have fun. Tong Jinghe did not give up, with a smile on her face, she persuaded softly.
Su Qiaotong was a little embarrassed.
When she was still in the boudoir, she would indeed play the piano and music often, and the guzheng was naturally no problem. It's just that on this occasion today, Hao Xiao has already been revealed. If you join in the fun. Isn't it clear that others will see which of them is higher or lower?
This kind of thankless thing, she must be unwilling in her heart, so she hurriedly continued to excuse herself: "Concubine Xian Niangniang." Don't embarrass me. Guzheng I'm really not good at it. If you show your face in front of your sisters, I'm afraid it will stain your ears. ”
"Su Baolin is too humble." Hao Xiao, who was still proud of himself just now, saw Su Qiaotong shirking in every possible way at this time. couldn't help but have a cold face, and his tone was not good.
If Su Qiaotong plays a song generously, no matter whether she plays better than herself, Hao Xiao's heart will not have too many concerns. If Su Qiaotong's skills were really above her, maybe she would be happy that she finally met someone with comparable strength. It would be a pleasure to learn more often in the future.
However, Su Qiaotong was so reluctant and tried her best to refuse.
In general, in this case, there will be two possibilities, one is that her skills are really difficult to get into the elegant hall, and she is afraid that she will lose face, so she is embarrassed to show it in front of everyone. The second is that her skills are above herself, and I am afraid that after she performs, the latecomers will prevail and compare herself.
And Concubine Tong Jinghe has been by her side, strongly recommending her to make a move. It seems that the second scenario is the most likely.
Hum! She Hao Xiao is not a person with a small belly, why do you Su Qiaotong pretend to be a good person here, and you are afraid of my face. Besides, you haven't tried it yet, are you overestimating yourself with this posture? Your skills are not necessarily above mine.
Hao Xiao thought like this in his heart, and his face naturally showed an unhappy look, and his tone was cold and unkind.
Su Qiaotong couldn't help but be stunned, she didn't expect that Hao Xiao's speed of turning her face was faster than turning a book. Moreover, he doesn't seem to offend her somewhere, right? Why did she look at herself like this?
Tong Jinghe saw that the two of them looked wrong, and was busy playing a round in the middle: "Oops, what's wrong?" It was fine just now, why did you suddenly become a virtuous concubine, Su Baolin screamed like this? What a life! ”
Hao Xiao and Su Qiaotong pursed their lips silently.
Mu Chuchu also seemed to feel that the atmosphere at the scene was wrong, but she really didn't react, what happened just now. People haven't finished eating an orange yet, why do you seem to start to deal with it?
"Sister Su, I know, you're afraid of breaking Sister Hao's zither, aren't you?" Tong Jinghe asked.
"No, I ......"
Before Su Qiaotong could finish speaking, Tong Jinghe interrupted her: "Actually, you don't have to worry, this guzheng is not necessarily what the emperor prepared for Sister Hao." Since everyone is good at musical instruments, when they see such a good guzheng, they must want to play a song and give it a try. You don't have to worry too much. ”
Tong Jinghe: Is this really a round? A few words teased Hao Xiao's face, as if covered with a layer of frost.
"Concubine Xian, I ......"
"Huh?" Tong Jinghe deliberately sank her face, looking unhappy.
Su Qiaotong hurriedly changed her words: "Sister, I really didn't mean that." ”
"Then please, Su Baolin." Hao Xiao's voice sounded coldly behind him. She had already stood up and relinquished the place in the center of the gazebo.
"Sister Hao, I really can't do it, Guzheng, I'm not good at it......" Su Qiaotong was still making the last struggle.
"Yes, what are you good at? Su Baolin: What you are good at is singing and dancing. Hao Xiao was already a little angry when he said this.
Su Qiaotong hurriedly shut her mouth and looked at Tong Jinghe, who was sitting on the side, for help, but found that the latter was smiling encouragingly at her, and raised her chin, signaling her to go to the center of the pavilion, in front of the guzheng.
Su Qiaotong had no choice, she knew that if she continued to refuse, she was afraid that she would offend Hao Xiao, so she had to bite the bullet and sit in front of the guzheng.
Tong Jinghe saw her sit down obediently, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and quietly glanced at the personal palace maid who followed her. The palace maid understood, took a step back gently, and took advantage of everyone's attention to Su Qiaotong in the center of the pavilion, she slowly retreated to the side of the pillar on the side of the pavilion.
At this time, everyone's attention was on Su Qiaotong, and when they saw her sit down on the stool, raise her arms, and open her gestures to play.
Mu Chuchu asked with some surprise, "Su Baolin really knows how to play the guzheng?" How come I've never heard of it before? ”
Hao Xiao ignored her, her eyes kept falling on Su Qiaotong, but there was a wary and cold look in her eyes, her lips were tightly pursed, and she didn't say a word. (To be continued.) )
