Jinsu remembered that Mama Chang had told her that when she spoke to the king, she should bow her head and avoid the king's gaze as a sign of respect. But just now, he asked her to raise her head, so now, should you bow your head?

was thinking about it, but saw that Emperor Ji Wu had already gotten up and walked towards her, and his gaze seemed to be very gentle, and he was not angry because of her retort and recklessness.

Emperor Ji Wu bent down to help her up in person, and said softly, "Are you Jinsu?" ”

Jin Su nodded inexplicably.

At this time, I heard the Queen Mother crying sternly: "Emperor! ”

Emperor Ji Wu let go of Jinsu at this time, and returned to his original throne with a smile, turning his head to comfort the Queen Mother, "Don't worry, the matter of marriage is good, but it is not in a hurry, and Tu Sanlin is not in Kyoto at this time, it is better to wait for when he returns to Beijing, and then make plans." ”

"But ......" Jin Yan wanted to say something, but was stopped by the Queen Mother.

"This is not bad, and we have to wait for Sanlin to come back and then discuss it. However, Miss An went there after all, and if she didn't marry someone for a long time, it would make it difficult for her younger sister to marry. He looked up and said worriedly.

An Heqing also arched his hand at this time, and it seemed that he also had something to say.

But what came was Emperor Ji Wu's business, "Queen Mother, your worries are not unreasonable, but since she is the county lord of my family, how can I not care about her marriage." As for the younger sister below, if you have a favorite family, you will also be restricted by her, and you can think about the adults making their own decisions. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" An Heqing took her to thank her.

Jin Su didn't know why Emperor Ji Wu suddenly spoke for her, but this ending still made her breathe a little relieved. Not only did today's marriage not come to fruition, but Emperor Ji Wu also personally cut off the way that Jin Yan and the Queen Mother wanted to influence her marriage. Looking at Jin Yan and the Queen Mother's dark faces now, you know that they are stealing chickens and rice!

Returning to her position and sitting down, Jin Su felt that the people around her looked at her a little differently, most of them were not a big deal to see the excitement, only An Heqing and the old lady still had a little worry in their eyes.

Jin Su didn't know the bottom of his heart, but he still pursed his lips towards An Heqing and smiled slightly.

This scene all fell on Feng Yao's deep eyes, he took the wine glass, took a sip, and his gaze swept to other places naturally.

The banquet began for a while, and everyone was probably affected by the incident just now, and they didn't dare to speak, and in the entire hall, except for the occasional sound of dishes and chopsticks, there was almost no other sound.

The Queen Mother beckoned the palace maids on the side and ordered, "Let the musicians come up!" ”

"Wait," Emperor Ji Wu exclaimed, "the musicians of the palace come and go like that, and there are no new tricks. ”

"And what does the emperor mean?"

Emperor Ji Wu raised his eyes and looked at Jin Su, and said, "I heard that kid in Huaibei boast before, the sound of the Anping County Lord's piano is like a heavenly sound, why don't you let the Anping County Lord help us today, okay?" ”

"It's no wonder that Huaibei boasted, Erchen was fortunate to hear it in the Prime Minister's Mansion last time, and it was indeed extraordinary and shocking!" His Royal Highness Feng Yi also echoed and said.

"Oh~~ Really? Since Yi'er also said so, I have to appreciate it even more! Come on, go and get my scorched tail, as the so-called good horse with a good saddle, since there is such a superb piano skill, if there is no good enough piano, wouldn't it be a pity! ”

With the orders of Emperor Ji Wu, Duke Qi arranged for someone to fetch the piano.

Jin Su was a little embarrassed to get up and owe a debt, and said humbly, "The emperor has praised it falsely, and the courtiers are only shallow in their studies, I'm afraid they want to make you laugh." ”

"It's okay, I believe you!"

For some reason, Jin Su always felt that what Emperor Ji Wu said seemed to have a deep meaning, but for a while, it was really incomprehensible.

After the piano was fetched, Jinsu sat down calmly, gently brushed the strings, and the melodious sound of the piano came, which made her a little excited.

Jiaowei guqin is the first of the four famous qins, and she and her master are both people who love music and rhythm, so they have naturally heard of it. It's just that such a treasure in the world, if it weren't for a coincidence like today, I'm afraid it would be difficult to see the real face, let alone get started.

At the beginning, Jin Su originally wanted to try the three ancient songs she received last time, but seeing the expectation and worry in the eyes of the old lady and An Heqing, she had to give up this idea, after all, she was not very proficient in that ancient song.

The melodious sound of the piano sounds, like the face of the Buddha in the spring breeze, like the gurgling spring water, which is fascinating; Just when he was indulging in enjoyment, he turned to the angry wind and roared, and the frog sounded in response; Swirling tactfully, high and low, light and flickering, low to the extreme, after a few circles, and then low again, although extremely low and thin, each syllable is still clearly audible.

Gradually, there are occasional pearls and jade jumps in the bass, crisp and short, one after another, the complex sound gradually increases, first such as the splash of the spring, and then such as the group of flowers competing for beauty, the flowers are clustered, and there is a gap between the birds, he sings me and, gradually the birds leave, the spring flowers fall, but the sound of the rain is Xiao Xiao, a desolate and murderous image, the drizzle is continuous, if there is nothing, and finally all the sounds are silent.

There was no movement in the hall for a long time, and everyone seemed to have difficulty withdrawing from the dream that Jin Su had woven with the sound of the piano.

"Good! Okay", Emperor Ji Wu clapped his hands and applauded.

Jin Su got up and saluted, "The courtiers are ugly." ”

Looking at the expressions of the old lady and An Heqing at this time, Jin Su knew that he should have played well just now.

"You don't have to be modest, such superb piano skills are indeed rare in the world!" Emperor Ji Wu smiled and praised.

"If you don't disappoint the emperor and the queen mother, it is also the credit of Jiaowei Guqin." Jin Su still said humbly.

"The lord of Anping is really modest, and the guqin is naturally meritorious, but it also depends on your piano skills. It's a pity that Huaibei is not here this time, otherwise we might be able to hear the piano and flute ensemble again. His Royal Highness the Ninth said, his tone still mixed with regret.

"Well, Yi'er is right. But listening to the song you just made, it seems to be an ancient song outside the Saiwai. ”

"Back to the emperor, the courtiers played the song, but for the shepherd minor tune outside the plug, only some subtle changes have been made to make it more suitable for the performance of the piano."

Emperor Ji Wu looked at Jin Su, and the tenderness in his eyes did not look like an emperor at all. Of course, Jinsu didn't know what he looked like when he looked at others.

"Since ancient times, mountains and rivers have been difficult to find, you have such good piano skills, if there is no good piano to match, it is a pity after all. This Jiaowei guqin has been treasured in the palace for many years, and I will be the master today, so that you can be its bosom friend and its master. ”

After Emperor Ji Wu finished speaking, Jin Su almost couldn't believe her ears, could it be that she just played the song?

An Heqing, who was on the side, saw that she didn't react, and shouted softly, "Su'er, don't thank the emperor for the reward!" ”

Only then did Jin Su come back to his senses, hooked the corners of his mouth, and knelt down to salute and thank him.

That's it, Jiaowei is hers from now on.

Because Emperor Ji Wu had to deal with government affairs, the banquet ended early. Before leaving, he also instructed that he might summon her into the palace at any time in the future.

As soon as Emperor Ji Wu left, the Queen Mother and Jin Yan also pulled An Yasheng and left quickly.

Jin Su followed behind the old lady with the Jiaowei guqin, and at this time, the ladies and ladies who attended the banquet together came forward to congratulate one after another, as if they had forgotten that today was An Yasheng's gift, and An Yasheng was the object that should be sought after. Obviously, the old lady was very fond of this, smiled and nodded with joy, and accepted the false congratulations of everyone.

After leaving the palace, the old lady told her in the carriage that she was ready to enter the palace at any time, and said that she would also find Mama Chang to teach her more etiquette.

"Grandmother, am I being reckless today?" Jin Su still asked obediently.

The old lady reluctantly smiled and comforted, "If it weren't for the emperor's intention to protect you, I'm afraid our entire prime minister's mansion would not be able to eat and leave today." ”

"Grandmother, you know, Su'er took a lot of effort to return home, and I really don't want to marry elsewhere just after returning home." Jin Su pretended to be aggrieved.

"Yes, I know, but the emperor's order is difficult, as a courtier, the queen mother and the emperor can give you a marriage, which is a great honor for you and the prime minister's mansion, and you really shouldn't confront the emperor in public, if you don't pay attention, it's disrespectful." The old lady is still a little scared when she talks about it now.

"Yes, Su'er knows," Jin Su responded.
