Want me how to reply. ”

Jiang Yan said coldly: "I was just telling your cousin that according to your talent. How can you be willing to be a princess? ”

If you are reluctant to be the princess, is it difficult to be his side concubine? He is saying that once he becomes his woman, she will be about the emperor's favorite concubine in the future. How can a princess be compared. Qiao Siwan and Lin Yuanxin both understood this expression. You can't be white.

Qiao Siwan raised her face, with a hint of resoluteness in her dark eyes, "Qiao Siwan has already known the eldest princess." The marriage is all up to the princess, and there is only one way. ”

"Oh?"

"Qiao Siwan must not be a person in the side room. Nor is he a wife and does not marry. Qiao Siwan said word by word, cutting the knife and axe.

Jiang Yan did not hesitate to take it off. Said: "Why don't you marry if you are not a wife?" Isn't your cousin also a side concubine? It's hard in your eyes. Is she just a concubine? ”

Lin Yuanxin smiled faintly and said: "Your Highness, although I can serve the blessings of being beside you, whether it is a concubine or a side concubine, and I don't pay attention, but when I really talk about it, the truth in my heart is difficult to settle." Wan'er is different. She's the daughter of Princess Celestia, how can she be like me? If you don't have a concubine now, I hope you can marry her as my companion, now, if you let her marry into the prince's mansion. Didn't you wronged her? She said. There is no benefit to self-harm at all, and every word is telling Jiang Yan not to think like this.

"Although you are a side concubine, you are just under one person. How many women in the world can be nobler than you? Jiang Yan glanced at Qiao Siwan, "Wan'er still thinks that this position is not enough, and she wants to be a concubine."

Qiao Siwan hated Jiang Yan's coldness in her heart, and she couldn't help but see tears in her eyes. "I don't have the heart to covet the concubine, it's just that everyone has their own ambitions, please ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to be thoughtful."

Jiang Yan saw the two of them say a word. They all wanted him to revoke his thoughts, so they couldn't help but laugh, their eyes were cold and terrifying, and they said, "It seems that you have discussed it." No more to say! Wan'er, you are the lord of Yong'an, and the marriage is naturally decided by His Majesty, so you can't help it when the time comes! ”

Qiao Siwan heard this. I remembered what I heard. My heart was like being soaked in ice water, and the cold was bone-chilling.

That's when it happened. The eunuch came to report and said, "The song and dance are about to begin, and Your Majesty has come to invite the prince." ”

Jiang Yan looked at Qiao Siwan, and a warm breath exhaled from his lips. It seems to be a sarcasm. Turned his head and walked like a fly.

That sarcasm was laughing at their struggles, weakness and fatigue. This voice was more relieving than a steel knife, cutting into Qiao Siwan's ears one by one, and slashing at her heart,

In front of the eyes of the imperial power. What do they fight with? It's just your own. It is self-destruction. will only bring tired relatives, Qiao Siwan knows this better than anyone else. It's not that she doesn't have a way to get herself married. It's just that whoever is chosen now will only harm the other party.

Jiang Yan would not let her go.

Right now. The winding path of the hand-copied verandah leads to the secluded place, and there is no light at all. It's like walking on the end of a long road. There is no end in sight, no light in sight. There is no future in sight.

This thought made Qiao Siwan's body cool down little by little. The footsteps could no longer move, and the body soaked in the cold was chaotic and not like himself.

In this life, she just wants to control her life again. She also has many part-time jobs. The endless struggle in the inner house, the revenge of the stepmother, and the sacrifice of her relatives are full of her every day. Occasionally, I would dream that the midnight dream would vaguely return to the days when I was at the mercy of others. The heart is tormented in every way, and the twists and turns can not sleep again. The pain is overwhelming.

In the main hall, there was still singing in the distance, intermittently, and the sound was earnest.

Qiao Siwan laughed. She's been in the middle of her life. I can't even get out of the control of others!

At this time, the sky had already darkened, and the wine had passed three rounds. The emperor seemed to be slightly drunk, and the half-attendant called for singing and dancing on the throne.

Soon, the sound of soft silk and bamboo started, and the gorgeous dancer wore a pink long skirt and danced gracefully on the stage, the dance steps were soft, the wide sleeves were stretched, and the pretty skirt was raised, like a snow fluttering, and the rainbow halo flew obliquely, which was extremely dazzling.

After watching the dance. Zhou Zhijun said: "It's really a good dance." Such a dance. It must have taken a lot of thought to make it up. Your Majesty, you have to give the song and dance division a heavy reward. ”

Celestia smiled faintly. "The very good dance I have seen is the dance danced by Lord Rongjun, and I have seen her dance. Everything on the side is tasteless. ”

The lord of Rong wore a pretty phoenix tail skirt with several skirts, each of which hung a color satin, and the satin was embroidered with flower and bird patterns. The gold thread is trimmed, and her waist is like a slender willow, as if it is rippling with spring light. At this time. The bright dress is under the candlelight. Trailing the flames. It's like a fire. will still be in full bloom, with a dazzling pretty: "The two of you laughed, now that I am married, I can no longer dance for my colleagues." ”

Zhou Zhijun sighed. Slightly eye-catching at Lin Yuanxin, as if unintentional, "I'm always one step late, and I haven't improved to see the dance of the county lord of Rong." I have never heard of the harp of the county lord of Yong'an, and I have heard that at the flower viewing banquet in the past, or the county lord of Yong'an took the lead. ”

Jiang Yan's face seemed to be a little drunk, but his eyes were very clear, "Oh." Is there anything else going on? ”

"It's natural." Zhou Zhijun stopped the feather on her lips. There was a hint of bitter coldness in Rusimei's eyes. "I don't know if there are these opportunities today, to listen to the piano skills of the county lord of Yong'an with my own eyes." After finishing speaking, he threw down the feather bud again, and Yingying walked to Jiang Yan's side. smiled and said, "Your Highness, did you say it?" ”

Jiang Yan looked at the emperor on the throne with a smile: "It depends on the benefits of my father." ”

Jiang Qinwu groaned slightly, and then said: "Since this is the case, it is probably possible for Yongan to play a song for his colleagues." ”

Zhou Zhijun laughed, and then pursed her lips slightly, not knowing if she was smiling. The clear and shallow Yan seems to be about to stab the people's morale: "I don't know what musical instruments the county lord of Yong'an will play?" ”

Qiao Siwan greeted Zhou Zhijun. In those eyes, there was no trace of darkness clearly: "But with your entrustment."

Zhou Zhijun smiled: "I have heard Yong'an Shanqin for a long time." I heard that a few days ago, Kyoto shipped a kind of xiqin, this new thing. There are very few people in Kyoto who know how to do it. Why don't we play it for us with such an instrument? He said. Her eyes swept over, but the gaze was also indifferent as if there was a hint of contempt.

Then. A palace maid holds a white jade lotus leaf cup of chilled rose dew on a copper-colored and gold-painted tray. Sent to Qiao Siwan's eyes. Princess Celestia smiled, "Go ahead, don't be ashamed of me." ”

The light in Qiao Siwan's eyes crossed and undercurrent. The thin candlelight is reflected in it, and the illusion is blurred. She gradually drank the rose dew in her cup, slowly stood up, and said, "Yes." ”

Countless palace lamps hang on the steps. Peony depicted in gold lacquer on the lampshade. Vaguely cast on her skirt, the branches and leaves seemed to be in full bloom. And she walked all the way down the steps, her skirt waving in the dark night. Bring out a stunning imprint. Jiang Yan's eyes stopped on her body, and she couldn't stagger, Qiao Siwan was about to be beautiful. But her beauty is not something that confuses him very much. Past. He wanted her so much for a thing to play with, and now he didn't know why he wanted her so stubbornly.

The more she disobeyed, the more steady he became. Even himself. They all wondered about this woman. No, it's already enchanted.

Qiao Siwan rarely plays the piano in front of people. The few times I played the guqin were the few times, this time. Zhou Zhijun was embarrassed and asked her to play the Xi Qin. This is indeed a kind of difficulty. Because everyone knows that Xi Qin only has two strings. It is not an eye-catching rhythm to play the Xi qin. This requires a deep level of skill, especially when it comes to bow movements. It's even stricter. Otherwise, it is needless to say that you can't play the charm of the music. Even the strings can't vibrate normally, and can only make an extremely beautiful "squeaky lala" sound.

Zhou Zhijun didn't know that Qiao Siwan's guqin was not very good, she was very eye-catching. is this Xi Qin, who has few people making porridge, because of the world. Su Yulou was very porridge and listened to the long-standing Xiqin song. For this. The Su family even raised a Xi qin master at home, and in order to please him, Qiao Siwan not only practiced this kind of qin, but even practiced hard day and night, and once broke a string. I only regret that she was in the past. You can't appreciate the beauty of this instrument. I just thought its voice was too sad. If it is not Su Yulou porridge. She would never touch it. Because of this, her piano skills have improved. But it can never break through, let alone control the true meaning of this sound.

Touch this instrument again. Her mood. But the sky has fallen apart.

Qiao Siwan buried her head in peace of mind. The fingers slid continuously on the strings, and the living water and moonlight all led to touching notes. Hook and slide, like a torrent of living water, dripping and high, this string of notes. It is by no means a festive song for the occasion, but it makes people sigh that they are worried about the country and the people, and vaguely shows a trace of powerful and strong spearhead, if they don't see it with their own eyes, they will think that it is from the hand of a man. And not small, women.

Zhou Zhijun glanced at Qiao Siwan with her glass-like dark eyes, and her rouge lips condensed with a hint of ridicule. Everything went so well, she thought. It's exciting. Until now, she would never have made the sisters so complacent!

Just listen to this time. One of the strings in Qiao Siwan's hand was broken!

Lin Yuanxin was surprised, startled, and almost stood up from her seat. Xiqin only has two strings, how to play without one! In case the music was interrupted, the emperor was furious. That's going to drop the skull. makes Qiao Siwan's identity special, and that is also a big deal

The music stopped suddenly, and Qiao Siwan's fingers had fallen deep into her palms at some point, and her nails were deeply embedded in the flesh. Numbness and pain. She looked up. looked at Zhou Zhijun from afar. A hint of ridicule gradually appeared on his face.

So.

Zhou Zhijun finally couldn't sit still? Her purpose is to make the emperor have to blame herself for his prestige? Or do you want to be ashamed of yourself in front of everyone? Or not. She wants this marriage to be covered with a dark layer that will never fade?

This couple with different thoughts, this is the royal family, this is the abyss she is about to step into!

Qiao Siwan looked at Zhou Zhijun and smiled slightly, extremely gorgeous, but also extremely cold, like the thorns of a rose. Her subordinates moved slightly. Note Revival! Just one string. The fingers slide high and low on the single string, and the pitch suddenly falls. The arrogance that caused the fall from the cliff to the abyss was like being suddenly pulled back into the extremely cold river from the blazing rage, and the heart suddenly rose and fell with the change of the music. Moved by it.

No one could have imagined that Qiao Siwan would be able to finish the music with that solo string with confidence. Everyone was stunned at the same time. I can't help but praise it.

A song stops. All the cadenzas.

Right now. Jiang Yan stood up suddenly. He said loudly, "Father, I have a request. ”

Qiao Siwan only thought that someone suddenly slammed her heart, and the wind with the steel knife suddenly pounced fiercely. Countless choked in my ears.

Princess Celestia frowned suddenly. The hands in the sleeves were clenched tightly.

The emperor squinted slightly, as if dropped
