The queen was really almost so angry that Li Chulian vomited blood, she wanted to try her piano skills with Cheng Xi, and now that the emperor is approved, why is she talking so much? If you don't have enough confidence in yourself, why do you want to boast about such a Haikou just now? It's just mud that can't hold up the wall! If it weren't for the fact that she was her niece, I really wanted to throw her out, lest she disgrace herself here.

The queen glared at Li Chulian fiercely, and Li Chulian realized that she shouldn't have said those words, which caused the emperor's displeasure, she lowered her head and didn't dare to say more.

Lu Yuchen on the other side looked at these two women, and hoped that Cheng Xi could win, after all, he promised the eldest prince to marry Cheng Xi and help him get the support of General Cheng. Although Li Chulian is more beautiful than Cheng Xi, she is too self-righteous, and marrying such a woman into the door may ruin his big thing. He wished she had lost and had no face. In this way, he will not choose Li Chulian and Cheng Xi, and he will not be laughed at by everyone.

King Qin never left her from the moment Cheng Xi said that he could play the piano, he kept comparing her with the girl in the dream in his mind, in the dream, he didn't see the girl's face clearly, he only remembered that the figure was similar to Cheng Xi, the fingers were slender and slender, he remembered that Cheng Xi helped him stitch up the wound, her fingers were indeed slender and slender, I didn't pay much attention to it at the time, but now I think about it is a little similar.

Cheng Xi noticed King Qin's gaze, she looked at him, her eyes were very familiar, only to see his eyes smiling, it seemed to contain infinite affection, seeing her looking at her with a pair of beautiful eyes, she was in a good mood, and she actually winked at her.

Cheng Xi's face flushed, he couldn't open his eyes, and couldn't help but slander: What the hell is this King Qin, it seems that he is also a follower, a stinky hooligan!

The emperor saw that Li Chulian had finally stopped, so he asked, "Miss Li and Miss Cheng, which of the two of you will come first?"

Cheng Xi stood quietly to the side, thinking about what King Qin wanted to do? always looked at herself like that, and Li Chulian listened to the emperor's question, and thought to herself, people always have preconceived notions, she has to play first, so as not to let Cheng Xi take the lead.

She stood up: "Your Majesty, let the courtiers come first!" Just now, the queen chose the courtiers to play the piano first. ”

The queen mother was almost angry with Li Chulian when she heard this, she wanted to play first, and the emperor would not disagree, and would carry her out as the queen?

She sighed and glared at Li Chulian fiercely, but Li Chulian didn't know why, and she didn't know what she had done wrong.

"Okay, I'm ready, Miss Li, please!" Although the emperor secretly scolded this Li Chulian for being a straw bag, his face did not show any gloom.

Li Chulian smiled defiantly at Cheng Xi, what is the use of the emperor agreeing to you using that kind of piano? As soon as I say I'll go first, he'll let me go first, can you? She sat proudly on the brocade embroidered chair, took a deep breath, distracted thoughts, and concentrated on pressing the strings with one hand and slashing the strings with the other, and the sound of the piano suddenly sounded, and a beautiful song flowed from between her ten fingers.

Cheng Xi listened for a while, and had to admit that Li Chulian's piano skills had worked hard, and his ten fingers were extremely dexterous, and there was no wrong note. It's just that her piano sound reminds Cheng Xi of the modern piano playing with automatic performance function, although there is no wrong note, although the playing is decent, the strength and weakness are played in full accordance with the score, but if you listen carefully, you will feel that the machine will never play as well as those piano masters play the tunes, because the piano masters are playing with their own understanding of music, with their own feelings in playing, robots are not human, ruthless and desireless, and can never reach that master-level level.

And Li Chulian is narrow-minded and has no tolerance, no matter how much she practices the piano, she can't improve it, even if she integrates her feelings into it, it's just that kind of narrow feelings.

Li Chulian glanced at the corner of her eyes, and saw that everyone had an expression of appreciation and intoxication on their faces, and she was proud in her heart, and after a song, thunderous applause sounded in the hall, Li Chulian stood up, bowed to everyone, and then slowly walked back to her seat and sat down.

The emperor nodded, and said secretly in his heart: Although this Miss Li is a little unpopular, she still has real talent to learn, he looked at the princes next to him and asked, "What do you think of Miss Li's piano skills?" If the perfect score is 10, how many points would you be willing to give? ”

The eldest prince stood up and said, "Back to my father, Miss Li's piano skills are indeed good, and her son is willing to give nine points." ”

Although the eldest prince is on Cheng Xi's side, Li Chulian does play well, and he can't talk nonsense with his eyes open and give too low a score.

The third prince is the biological son of the queen's mother, and Li Chulian is a cousin, and he also stood up and said after the eldest prince replied; "Back to my father, my son has never heard such a beautiful tune, and my son is willing to give ten points."

The emperor nodded, looked at the seventh prince, and the seventh prince said: "Back to the father, the son will give eight points." ”

The emperor looked at the third prince and the seventh prince and said, "It seems that you have different opinions on this song, can you tell me your opinion?" ”

The third prince said: "Back to my father, everyone has a different view of the piano art, and the sons and daughters are not talented, and I think that Miss Li's music is skillful, which is really rare, and there is nothing wrong with giving a full score." “

The Seventh Emperor said: "The Third Emperor Brother's words are wrong, the learning of music and technique is neither the only criterion for consideration, nor the most important criterion. Plum Blossom Three Alleys" This song, borrowing plum blossoms such as white fragrance and cold resistance, borrowing things to express feelings, to praise people with perseverance and unyielding noble temperament. Although Miss Li is skillful, it is a pity that her character is so bad that she can't play the original charm of the song, so I think I can only give eight points at most. ”

As soon as the words of the Seventh Prince King Qin fell, Li Chulian's face became pale, "Character", what does King Qin mean by this? Why does he belittle his character by commenting on the tune! He must be a personal vendetta for communiqué, and he deliberately said this to himself because he offended Cheng Xi just now! She was angry in her heart, but she couldn't help the Seven Princes.

The emperor also heard this sentence "Character", and he secretly praised in his heart that his son's vision was indeed sharp enough, and he could see at a glance that this Miss Li's character was not good.

And the boys and girls in the hall were also discussing secretly, some people felt that King Qin was nitpicking, and some people felt that King Qin had unique insights and said very reasonably, and they continued to argue for a while.

The emperor turned his head to look at his youngest son, "Xiao Jiu'er, what do you think of Miss Li's song?" ”

As soon as the emperor's words came out, everyone focused their eyes on King Chu.

The king of Chu had long known that his seventh emperor brother was interested in Cheng Xi, only to see the king of Chu say: "Back to my father, Erchen feels that it is average, not as good as Miss Cheng's music last year, and Erchen still remembers that Miss Cheng also played a song "Plum Blossom Three Alleys" last year, but her song made me feel that it was a natural sound, which made me seem to see plum blossoms standing proudly in the snow." ”

After he finished speaking, he turned to King Qin and said, "Brother Seven Emperors, it's a pity that you didn't come to the Hundred Flowers Feast last year, and you couldn't hear Miss Cheng's "Plum Blossom Three Alleys" played! ”

After Li Chulian heard the words of the King of Chu, her heart was even more uncomfortable, the color on her face was like a palette, she was green and white for a while, she didn't offend the King of Chu, he actually degraded himself so low, and raised that ugly monster so high!

She was very unconvinced, but she couldn't do anything with King Chu, so she could only count her resentment on Cheng Xi. Hum! Ugly monsters, let's see!

The emperor recalled the music played by Cheng Xi last year, but he was still a little impressed, remembering that at that time, she was the best at the group and won the first place. It's a pity that she didn't want to play today, but he looked at the strange piano and thought to himself, he had never heard of the sound of the piano, and if he could listen to Miss Cheng play today, he believed that she would not let him down.

Thinking so, the emperor said, "Miss Cheng, it's your turn!" ”

Cheng Xi stood up from his seat, walked in front of the emperor, and said, "Yes, the emperor!" ”

She walked slowly to the front of the piano and saw that the lid on the grand piano had not been lifted, so she stepped forward to lift the lid and found the support rod inside to hold it up.

When the emperor saw her like that, he asked, "Miss Cheng, why did you lift the lid?" ”

"Back to the emperor, the lid is lifted, and the sound will be clearer. Your Majesty, the courtiers have a request. Cheng Xi said.

"Miss Cheng, please speak." The emperor said.

"Back to the emperor, this piano must have been transported to the palace after a long distance, the piano is easy to lose tone after moving, please let me try to see if the sound of each key is accurate." Cheng Xi said.

"I'm right." The emperor said.

When the queen heard this, her face turned dark, hum, what to try? It's so magical, who knows if she's playing tricks?

After Cheng Xi got the emperor's permission, he tried the keys and pedals, and after feeling that everything was fine, he said to the emperor: "Back to the emperor, the sound of this piano is very good, and the courtiers have tried it." ”

King Qin looked at Cheng Xi, expecting her to play the song he heard in his dream, he looked at her with a smile and asked. "May I ask Miss Cheng, what song are you going to play?"

Cheng Xi began to think about this question when she decided to play the piano just now, there are countless piano songs she can play, which one is better? She thought about it again and again, and felt that on top of this hall, she had to play a majestic tune, and it was a Western tune, which was completely different from these guqins in terms of style, so that it could be refreshing and unforgettable, whether it was in terms of momentum or skills, it overpowered Li Chulian.

She replied: "Back to His Royal Highness the King of Qin, the song played by the courtiers is called "Destiny". ”

"Fate?" After speaking, King Qin looked at her with burning eyes and said, "Okay! This king listens to you! ”
