Chapter 105: I want to leave
How could someone say no to the emperor's request, unless that person didn't want to live. As an obedient little concubine, of course I honestly agreed.
I hurriedly agreed: "Thank you for the emperor's praise, the concubine can only listen to the piano, and it is really not good to say that the piano skills are good." ”
I've always known that I'm very good-looking and beautiful. But my beauty is not aggressive, it's just a song that makes people feel simply beautiful. Women will not be jealous when they see it, and men will not feel like fairies when they see it.
So when I honestly promise people, that well-behaved appearance is still very pleasing to people's hearts.
Actually, my piano skills are still good, but I must be more humble and humble in this kind of place. If I am too proud and complacent in front of the emperor and queen, then I am afraid I don't want to live.
Bailu is a short distance away from me, because the people here are all emperors and princes, so naturally it is impossible for Bailu to stand next to me.
I said, "I'll let the maid fetch my harp." ”
The emperor waved his hand, and I walked to Bai Lu's side. Bai Lu has been paying attention to our every move. When she saw me coming, she hurriedly asked, "Niangniang, is there something wrong?" ”
I said, "Go and get the guqin that the emperor gave me last time." ”
Bailu turned around and trotted to my palace very obediently, I looked at her back running past, her posture was very slender, and suddenly I thought of what kind of song I should play later.
I am a concubine, and everyone thinks that I used to receive an education of good manners and shame. So when I play the piano later, I naturally have to play a dignified, generous and beautiful tune.
And there is a tune called Beauty Incense. This piece is not difficult, but it is also a little difficult. So many of you have also studied.
There is also a poignant story in the back of this song, about a poor boy who falls in love with a young lady from a rich family. The story is very old-fashioned, but it is also very moving. When I first heard this story, I was very moved. It was also because of this story that I decided to learn this tune.
The poor boy was really poor at the beginning, the kind of day when he ate a meal and didn't have a meal. It's just that people have a noble character and are upright. and diligent in reading, so I also like Miss very much.
At the beginning, when the young lady met the poor boy, the young lady's family was still very rich, so the young lady's father set a good family affair for her, and the other party was also a rich young master.
Although the young lady liked this poor boy very much, of course she did not dare to act excessively. She has been taught poetry and etiquette since she was a child, and she sees the marriage event, the words of the matchmaker, and the life of her parents as very important.
So although these two people like each other very much, the two are still not together.
The poor boy watched the young lady being married into the rich man's house by the eight sedan chairs, but he could only red-eyed on the side of the road.
At this moment, he was aroused to move forward, and began to study very hard. I hope that I can get the top prize in the famous high school.
Huangtian lived up to his wishes, and he finally won the top prize. It's just that the beloved woman has already married another woman, and the two of them are probably not together.
However, the young lady's family suddenly fell apart. It turned out that the young lady's father was out doing business when he was suddenly murdered by thieves, resulting in death.
And without the backbone of the family, the identity of the poor young lady naturally cannot be the same as before. Because the father died, and the father had only one daughter, and the father did not have a brother. But the young lady has been raised by brocade clothes and jade food since she was a child, and she can't do business at all.
And because the young lady was raised too well, the whole person is very simple. It's easy to fall for someone else's deception and fall for someone else's deception. And Miss's husband is not a good person, but the husband's thoughts are very dark, so the business status established by his father has been swallowed up by Miss's husband.
When the two first got married, this husband was still very good to Miss. Although the young lady was lukewarm to him, the two still lived together with respect.
Now, after the husband has the inheritance of the young lady, the attitude towards the young lady is no longer the same as before, it is simply the same as the maid, and the young lady is driven out of the house on a dark and windy night.
The young lady has no choice but to go to the young man she liked at first.
And this poor boy in the past, today's ministers still like Miss as always. Now seeing the young lady coming to him, although he is distressed in his heart, how can he not be happy.
So the poor boy and the young lady began a happy and beautiful life, and the poor boy also snatched back everything that belonged to the young lady from the young lady's former husband.
When I first saw this story, I was still a little moved. After all, in the place where I live, it is really rare for a man to be able to ignore a woman's loyalty, and he likes a woman as always.
I couldn't think of a better tune, so I talked about this one.
Because this is very well-known, many ladies have practiced.
Bailu quickly brought the piano over when I thought about this story, although she is my personal maid every day, but there is still a lot of work to do, so the physique is also very good, so I brought the piano so quickly.
The emperor looked at me, the palace maid, and praised it. "This little girl has a sharp leg and feet."
made Bailu get made by this one praise, trembling, and the atmosphere did not dare to come out.
The emperor didn't embarrass this little girl, but said: "Then you can play the piano and help us too." ”
I nodded. "Okay."
Then he found a comfortable sitting position and placed the piano on the stone table. I started playing.
The sound of the piano is melodious, the people in front of you are handsome men and beautiful women, and the beautiful scenery next to you is like a fine ink painting, at this moment, this place seems very quiet and melodious.
After playing the song, I waited for the emperor's evaluation with a little apprehension. They also nodded to each other, and at this time, the Seventh Prince suddenly came out.
"This concubine plays the piano very well." The voice of the seventh prince is very crisp and clear, and it is very recognizable. It is much better than the duck voice of the eunuchs in this deep palace, the usual majestic voice of Queen Bi, or the domineering voice of the concubine.
The seventh prince gave the emperor a salute very respectfully, "The younger brother has seen the emperor, the queen."
The emperor waved his hand. Motioned for him to be flat. "How did you end up here?" He asked casually.
The Seventh Prince replied, "Originally, I just wanted to take a walk around this imperial garden and see the flowers in this garden. Suddenly, I heard a melodious sound of the piano, and I followed the sound of the piano. In other words, you are really blessed with the imperial brother, and the concubines around you talk about him so well. ”
He smiled crookedly, and the whole person was very good-looking. He was originally a very clean and neat person, and at this moment, I looked at his smile and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
I thought about the man I was thinking about last night, and I fell asleep thinking about it. I'm not sure what's wrong with me, maybe I'm really a little girlish about this Seventh Prince, but now I look at the picture of the Seventh Prince, Prince Guo and the Emperor sitting together, and I feel like I'm sitting on pins and needles.
I just felt a piece of embarrassment, I was the emperor's concubine, even though I was actually an impostor. But in the eyes of everyone, I am the emperor's concubine. It was his concubine.
And Prince Guo is the person I want to work with, cooperate to help him plan the throne, and he helps me out of the palace.
And the Seventh Lord on the other side may be a man I feel a little bit myself and I like a little.
These three people together make me feel like I have nowhere to hide, and I don't know what's wrong, I just don't want to stay in this place. It feels very uncomfortable, like being caught in a huge net, unable to struggle, and unable to break free.
At this time, the Seventh Prince suddenly said again, "Isn't there a war at the border now?" Although the song you just played is very beautiful, after all, it is about the wind and the moon. Why don't you play a passionate tune to suit the occasion? ”
I do know how to make passionate tunes, but I don't want to talk about them at all. These three smiling men made me feel very confused and nowhere to be found.
I said with resignation: "The concubines have learned relatively few tunes, although they have also dabbled in passionate tunes, but after all, they are not very beautiful, so it is better to let the pianist in the palace talk about it." The concubine is really afraid that the song of the concubine will disturb everyone's interest. ”
Under normal circumstances, I really shouldn't shirk it, I should play it well, but I really don't want to now. Maybe it's because I'm still young and haven't experienced anything big, so it's inevitable that I'll be reckless.
But I've been cautious for so many days. If I continue to be cautious, I'll go crazy. I don't want to, I really don't want to. I'm full of grievances, why do I have to stay here honestly and hide the tunes to make these people happy? Why?
I hung my head so no one looked at the expression on my face. At this time, the emperor suddenly said something. "You've been with us for so long, and you're tired, go back to the palace and rest by yourself."
As if I had been pardoned, I got up and took my leave.
I walked fast along the way, and soon returned to the palace with Bailu.
I did go too fast, and I felt the wind blowing in my ears all the way, and there was a chill in it. But it didn't cool the nameless fire in my heart.
Soon I arrived at my palace, and looking at the place where I had lived for so many days, I was in a slightly better mood. I felt that the fire in my heart had dropped a little.
"Alas," I sighed suddenly, and Qiushui next to me naturally noticed that I had not been in a good state. Hurriedly asked. "What's wrong with you, mother?"
I looked up at her, Qiushui has always cared about me, and I have always liked Qiushui. But I don't know how to express my feelings at the moment. Usually I like to talk to someone, but I just can't say what I want to say at the moment.
I caught a glimpse of the guqin she was holding, and suddenly felt the nameless fire in my heart even more vigorous. I said weakly, "Just take this piano farther away so I can't see it." ”
I looked up at the gray sky, which had been fine before. I don't know why it's suddenly a little gray at the moment. I think I'm having a hard time right now, but I can't say why it's so bad.
Qiushui looked at me like this, and it was not good to ask any more questions, so he could only honestly take the piano away.
