Chapter 245: Yueqin
The performance of the Fei nobles obviously amazed the audience, but some of the concubines were sour in their hearts, after all, it is rare for the emperor to look at him like that.
"At the beginning, it was said that the Fei nobles were similar to you, and the emperor might favor her because of this, but now it seems that she has found a path that suits her, not just relying on your similar face to win favor." Concubine Jiang snorted coldly, she was attracted to her attention just now, but she didn't expect the Fei nobles to hide so deeply.
"It's not a good thing to look like this palace, the Fei nobles can jump out of this framework, and this palace is also happy." If there is really a person who is five or six points like herself and keeps learning from herself, Hua Ying is afraid that it will be even more disgusting.
"Concubine Yun is very generous."
As soon as Concubine Jiang's words fell, the people above had already finished performing, and the Fei nobleman's chest was a little undulating because of the dance just now, and there was also a small strand of broken hair in his ear, and when he knelt on the ground, he was small and cute: "After the concubine danced, the emperor and the queen mother smiled when they saw it." ”
"Fei nobles are really humble, and your dance today is really wonderful." The emperor never skimped on his compliments, and slapped his big hand.
The Queen Mother can naturally see the little tricks of these people, everyone wants to be a blockbuster, and there is nothing to blame: "Yes, the mourning family doesn't know that the Fei nobles have such a ability, and seeing it today can be regarded as a long insight." ”
"It's almost autumn, the Feigui people's outfit is still too cool, go and put on a dress."
The queen said appropriately and carefully, but the emperor motioned to Li Quandao: "Take my cloak and put it on the Fei nobles." ”
Li Quan got the will, took the thin velvet cloak prepared for the emperor in the morning and evening, and finally surrounded the Fei nobles by the emperor himself: "It is said that a beautiful woman dancing is enough to move the capital, and the concubine can afford to be called this beauty." ”
The Feigui nobleman's cheeks were crimson, and he was a little shy and said: "The emperor has a good reputation, and if he can give the emperor a dance, the concubine is satisfied." ”
The emperor looked at her a little shy, although he had some teasing thoughts, but the ghost made a difference, he deliberately glanced at Hua Ying's side with his spare eyes, and couldn't see her expression clearly, but he could feel that Hua Ying was watching the movement here, and the hand that raised it to help Fei Guiren sort out the broken hair on the side of his face suddenly stopped, took it back, and turned his back to his hand: "It's really a good dance, it gave me a big surprise, let's go back and sit down first." ”
Such a strange move caused some surprise to the Fei nobles, she obviously felt that the emperor wanted to do a more intimate act to herself, how could she suddenly restrain herself, could it be that she did something wrong?
"Thank you for your appreciation."
Fei Guiren already had thousands of ideas in an instant, but unfortunately she didn't expect the emperor's friendship with Hua Ying to be deep, even if she was an amorous person, she actually had an embarrassing thought in front of Hua Ying, she was probably the first person in history.
Hua Ying looked at all this, and didn't know that the emperor didn't continue because he took care of himself, a little sourness in her heart made her a little sad, although it would affect her mood a little, but it would not cause her to do anything irrational, people have seven emotions and six desires, which is inevitable, but especially to control their jealousy, in order to live more comfortably in the harem.
After the performance of such a show that amazed everyone, especially the emperor's attention, the rest of the people probably don't want to perform in the next one.
Hua Ying saw that Du Changzai was still singing diligently, and this hydrangea was about to approach her, and she had a bad premonition in her heart.
Sure enough, the singing stopped abruptly again, and when Hua Ying just received the hot potato that was about to be thrown out, Du Changzai seemed to be deliberate, and immediately stopped squeaking, Hua Ying was a little speechless for a while, isn't this a game that was deliberately set for herself? Fei Guiren's performance is so good, her next one is herself, even if she is brilliant, it is difficult to overshadow the demeanor of the previous person.
"Concubine Yun, since it's your turn, then let's see what you have to prepare?" The queen smiled hypocritically, and seemed to be waiting for her to make a fool of herself or be mediocre.
"The concubine has nothing to take, and she doesn't need to prepare anything, just wait for the concubine to bring her own piano." Hua Ying said calmly.
"Is it piano again? The concubines have been playing the piano here for a long time, doesn't Concubine Yun Niangniang plan to change an object to perform, it is also a surprise for everyone. Hui agreed to stroke her zither and said seemingly casually, in fact, she felt that Hua Ying had no outstanding skills and nothing to look at, which was also what made her proud, if Concubine Yun, who had just returned from the sixth palace, was so talentless, then what could they have to be inferior?
Hua Ying didn't bother to agree with Hui to see the wind and rudder like this and thought that she was next to a queen and was fluttering about something, but the emperor was a little dissatisfied, obviously the emperor was also worried that Hua Ying would be inferior to Fei Guiren and feel ashamed, so he also mixed with the meaning of encouraging Hua Ying and said: "Concubine Yun's calligraphy Danqing is almost invincible in the harem, and she has been proficient in the book industry since she was a child, it is not easy for women, even if she is weaker on the piano, there is nothing to blame, Concubine Yun, you will be bold and expressive." ”
"Isn't the emperor just distrusting his concubines?" Seeing that the emperor was so protective of herself, Hua Ying had the idea of playing, that is, Hua Ying could talk and joke with the emperor like a friend in front of everyone.
"I trust you the most." The emperor said half-jokingly, but in fact he looked at Hua Ying's eyes, there was a lot of deep meaning in his eyes, Hua Ying saw it in his eyes, and secretly said that the emperor was really a good person, and he could attract himself casually, and then the emperor continued: "You brought the piano, and I like it whatever it looks like." ”
Hearing this, Fei Guiren bit his lower lip slightly, how much effort he had spent on a dance, and the emperor was pleasantly surprised, but he just praised him casually, and remembered himself, but Concubine Yun obviously hadn't started to perform yet, and the emperor gave her encouragement that he had never before, which was really sad.
Hua Ying is not playing a zheng, nor a common pipa or guqin, but an instrument that few people play - the octagonal moon qin, when the emperor saw it, he added a little curiosity, he also knew that Hua Ying was proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and the qin had not been shown in this aspect, the flute and the pipa guqin were somewhat proficient, and they could dance two dances that were not bad, but they didn't know that Hua Ying would also play such a moon qin.
"'Then the concubine will be ugly.'"
The general speaker of the Yueqin is full of circles, and the neck is short, and the Yueqin played by Hua Ying is more peculiar, it is octagonal, and after Hua Ying picks it up, it is not at all like the ordinary singer and dancer, and it is also the reason why the instrument is not common.
Before playing, the emperor's eyes have been tightly attracted, if the Fei nobles are a wonderful dance to make the emperor can't take his eyes off, then Hua Ying has not yet played, the reason why he has already attracted attention is because of temperament, indifferent and glamorous temperament that no one can imitate.
Hua Ying didn't deliberately wear it very luxuriously today, just because she changed into a new set of autumn clothes in autumn, the light bean green didn't look cheap or low-end on Hua Ying's body at all, the pearls on her head were few and fine, and each set of heads and faces was priceless, neither losing the majesty that the favorite concubine should have, but also exceptionally beautiful.
Hua Ying held the piano in her hand, first tried two notes, and the Yueqin made a clear and crisp sound, which first attracted people's ears, and then Hua Ying's expression changed, and her expression gradually became solemn.
Her jade hands were frivolous, only to see the Qianqian jade fingers playing quickly on the strings, the sound of the piano was sharp and a little high, but it would not make people feel a little abrupt, like countless fierce horses running away, fierce and fierce, but Hua Ying still seemed to be at ease, and the speed of her hands did not decrease, and gradually pushed the song to a climax.
After really reaching the climax, the piano finally turned, and then changed from high-pitched and passionate to low and slow, but still with a trace of grandeur and vague sadness about the war in it, it can be seen that Hua Ying's skills are superb, and the reels are plucked between the strings like a story in front of everyone, not to mention the emperor, other concubines who have opinions on Hua Ying are inevitably intoxicated, temporarily let go of the prejudice in their hearts, and being able to reach such a state is enough to prove that Hua Ying is definitely not a person who is only good at calligraphy, painting and chess. He is also a person with both talents.
It wasn't until the last note was finished that Hua Ying looked down, elegantly raised her hand and put it down, and bowed slightly, signaling that her performance was over.
Everyone came back to their senses, as if they had experienced a grand battle just now, and there was a scene of thousands of horses galloping in front of them, and the Emperor said in the middle of the ring: "This is the first time I have heard such a skillful and moving Yueqin tune, you were really too modest before. ”
"The Yueqin is not a well-known musical instrument, so the concubines will be afraid that the emperor and the queen mother will not like it, so they naturally have to be modest when they speak." Hua Ying herself was also involved in the picture of Fang Cai's own piano sound, so it also took some time to react, and now she said with her eyebrows raised.
"Even if she is not well-known, Concubine Yun has also taken everyone to experience the timbre of Yueqin." The Queen Mother said this, which can be regarded as a compliment: "It's really good, Concubine Yun is really talented and beautiful." ”
"Yes, I haven't seen Sister Yunfei practice Yueqin all the time on weekdays, but I didn't expect to play such a wonderful tune casually today." Concubine Jing naturally praised it, so she almost stood up and applauded.
Shun Guiren also looked at Hua Ying with admiration, although he grew up with her before, he occasionally heard that Hua Ying was learning piano skills, but he was also surprised by Hua Ying's high level, and there was a little pride in it, after all, this was his sister: "My sister is so powerful, the concubine wants to learn Yueqin with her sister after listening to it." ”
"How can it be so exaggerated as you say, there are many other sisters who have not performed, and each of them is no worse than this palace." Hua Ying was a little embarrassed to be praised, her teacher had praised her as a very talented person before, but it was the first time she was praised in front of everyone like this.
"Although Concubine Yun's playing is good, this Yueqin, no matter how you look at it, looks like it is played by people outside the palace, which is a little indecent." Yan Guiren said such a thing is simply nothing to do, and she also knows that it is a bit unreasonable to say this, but since he has already said it, he deliberately raised his chest and looked up at Hua Ying.
