Chapter 337: Leave Qiao Mingyue behind
Qiao Mingyue is quite happy to go into the palace every day to chat with these women, after all, although they are all living in the harem, intrigue or something is essential, but they are good-looking! There is no one who doesn't like good-looking people, and every day with a beautiful woman, the mood will be much better. The only thing that annoyed me was that she had to bow down every day, and although she didn't mind much, the education she received in her previous life still made her very uncomfortable with this custom. Thinking of this, she was once again glad that she had been living with General Qiao in Yungui and had basically never knelt down to others.
"Princess, please get up." The queen herself held her hand and helped her up.
Qiao Mingyue had learned before, and at this time, there were no various mythical stories and strange novels that had been circulated in later generations, so every time she entered the palace, she would pick one or two stories to tell to the ladies of the harem. Today she is talking about the West Chamber, and after a few days of observation, she found that this poignant love story resonates with them even more.
At the end of the story, the room was quiet for a long time, and Qiao Mingyue saw at a glance that there were several concubines whose eyes were slightly red, and even worse, they quietly wiped their tears with a handkerchief.
The queen's heart was also slightly sour, she sorted out her emotions for a while, and then reluctantly smiled and said, "I don't know what interesting things the princess brought us today?" ”
Qiao Mingyue smiled and said, "What I prepared for you today is a musical instrument. With that, she clapped her hands and motioned for the palace people to carry things up.
Musical instrument?
Now the ladies are a little puzzled, they are all from a family of eunuchs, they are all proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, is there a musical instrument they have never seen?
Qiao Mingyue saw their suspicions, but she didn't make a sound, and they would know when they brought it up.
After a while, several eunuchs came up carrying a huge thing, this thing had a strange shape, and there were many large and small discs on it, which looked a little like a drum, but it didn't seem to be.
"Princess, what is this thing?" It was Concubine De who spoke.
Qiao Mingyue smiled and said, "This thing is called a drum kit, which is the musical instrument I just mentioned. With that, Qiao Mingyue picked up the drumstick, sat on the stool brought by the palace maid, and began to beat.
The drum kit was her favorite instrument in her previous life, and whenever she had free time, she would call a few friends to play in a band together, or beat the drums frantically in a dark room by herself, and the hearty feeling was as if all the unhappiness in life had drifted away with the sound of the drums. It's just a pity that after coming to this world, she hasn't played a drum kit either.
This set of drums was imitated by Qiao Mingyue according to the memories of his previous life, although the sound quality is completely incomparable with modern ones, but it is better than novelty.
Qiao Mingyue waved her arms, her movements were smooth, and with the crisp and melodious sound of the drum, it looked like a dance, very beautiful. Everyone was immersed in the story, although they were attracted by the drum kit, but the sad mood was still difficult to calm down for a while, so Qiao Mingyue deliberately chose an intense song that could arouse the atmosphere, and now it seems that the effect is not bad.
At the end of the song, the concubines were attracted by this fresh instrument, and gradually came out of their sadness, and struggled to try it themselves. Qiao Mingyue gave them the drumsticks, watched them beat according to the movements she had just made, and pointed and corrected their movements from time to time.
The concubines are all about the same age as Qiao Mingyue, although they are in the harem, their essential playful attributes have not changed, and for a while, there was a sound of gongs and drums in Kunning Palace.
It was this voice that attracted the emperor.
"What are you doing? Why is it so lively? ”
When everyone saw the emperor coming, they quickly knelt down and saluted.
"Get up!"
As soon as he entered the door, the emperor noticed the large object placed in the center, "What is this?" ”
The queen replied softly: "This is a drum kit, which Princess Jin brought in to relieve her sisters' boredom." ”
"Oh? Is this the sound coming from just now? ”
"Yes."
"You made this thing?" This time it was Qiao Mingyue who asked.
"Yes."
"Then you'll show me how."
Qiao Mingyue received the order, sat on the stool again, picked up the drumstick, and repeated Fang Cai's movements again.
"Smack! Syllable! Syllable! ”
Qiao Mingyue was originally worried that the emperor would not like the drum kit, after all, this kind of heavy metal music must be unacceptable for a while in the eyes of the ancients who paid attention to elegance, even a few ladies who were interested in the drum kit just now were only attracted by its novelty for a while. It's just that judging from the emperor's reaction, he is quite satisfied.
The emperor, of course, was satisfied. These women in the harem only knew intrigue every day, and they either wronged this or that all day long, or they quarreled with anyone again, but they all loved to sue him, which made him annoyed. These days, Qiao Mingyue enters the palace from time to time to tell them about the new things outside the palace, and brings them some novelties, and the women in the harem have been a lot more stable these days. At first, he was still a little puzzled, why the harem has stopped a lot in the past few days, and he didn't hear anything about making a trip, and as soon as the business at hand was over, he wanted to come to the queen to have a look, and he heard the sound of something called a drum kit that the queen said.
It's a pity that in the emperor's opinion, Qi Jingyun and Qiao Mingyue are both dying, otherwise, she can still be the companion of these women all the time, in this way, he doesn't have to worry about the affairs of the harem.
Suddenly, the emperor's eyes lit up, it was enough for Qi Jingyun to die alone, and as for Qiao Mingyue, let her stay in the capital forever.
"Princess Jin, I remember that you have made fun for the ladies, and allow you to stay in the capital and not go to Nanzhao, how about it?"
Not how! Qiao Mingyue raised her head suddenly, and immediately lowered it again, what should I do? You must not refuse in one go, and of course you can't say yes, what should I do? What the hell was the emperor thinking?
In fact, the emperor's idea was very simple, he just wanted to leave Qiao Mingyue and keep the harem peaceful. However, Qiao Mingyue obviously didn't know this.
"Your Majesty, please give me a moment to think about it." Qiao Mingyue was drenched in cold sweat.
The queen saw Qiao Mingyue's embarrassment, so she said: "The prince and the princess have a deep relationship, and if they are separated suddenly for so long, the princess will definitely have a difficult choice for a while, your majesty, it is better to let the princess go back and discuss with the princess, after all, this is not a trivial matter." ”
What the queen said was very reasonable, but in the emperor's opinion, Qiao Mingyue would either follow Qi Jingyun to die, or stay in the capital to help him, but he also understood that he was in a bit of a hurry at this time.
"Alright then, I'll give you a day to think about it."
