And Qin Shao's carriage was in front, and when several people arrived at the Shenwu Gate together, Qin Shao stretched out his hand, and Chu Jiao smiled and then took his hand.

When the two of them held hands and went in together, they were envious of others.

"I've seen the Queen Mother." The two of them saluted together, and the two of them looked like talented women, and the Queen Mother was also happy when she saw it.

"Alright, alright, hurry up, hurry up." The Queen Mother is kind and kind.

Chu Jiao and Qin Shao sat down next to them, and Yao Chi and Luo Min sat opposite, Luo Min's eyes looked over from time to time, and Chu Jiao also responded with a smile, but Luo Min's eyes were not very friendly.

At the banquet, everyone said words of congratulations and gave generous gifts.

After looking around, Chu Jiao found a few new faces.

At this time, a woman broke into the temple, and the sound of silk and bamboo stopped abruptly, but was replaced by a refreshing dance, this woman was graceful, wearing a veil, and the saint was overjoyed to see it.

Chu Jiao didn't have any impression, so she followed the bottom and said to Qin Shao: "Who is this?" ”

"It's Princess Qinchen, the daughter of the saint who was raised outside, and she only came back a few days ago, the saint naturally likes her very much, but the queen mother doesn't like it very much, because if she is raised outside, she is not as close as the palace." Qin Shao whispered in her ear.

The whispering of the two was clearly seen by Yao Chi in front of him, and he lowered his head and drank all the wine in the cup.

At the end of the dance, Qin Chen unveiled his veil, looking like an extremely iconic beauty, still vigorous because of her young age.

The saint sitting next to the Queen Mother couldn't close his mouth with a smile and kept applauding her.

"This dance is for my grandmother, I hope you can like it." Qin Chen said with a smile.

felt that for the Queen Mother, who had never been waiting to see her, this was not a surprise but a disappointment.

"Okay, let's go down and sit down first." There was not a trace of joy on the face of the Queen Mother.

The gifts that the people in the future put down, the Queen Mother, were also lacking in interest.

The sage could see that the Queen Mother's mood was not very high, so he said: "Today is the Queen Mother's birthday, if anyone can win the Queen Mother's smile, I will grant him a grace, whether it is piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, or poetry and songs, or light songs and dances." ”

Qin Chen swept around when he was in his seat, and there was no shortage of handsome men in the court, but Qin Chen couldn't look down on her, she wanted to find a big hero, and if she wanted to come, it was the one in front of her.

She stood up and said bluntly: "I look at the beauty of the imperial aunt, I am also happy to look at it, it must be its outstanding to be able to win the favor of the imperial uncle, it is better to let the imperial aunt come up and play the piano first, maybe Grandma Huang will be happy, what do you think, father?" ”

Chu Jiao and the woman looked at each other, the woman's eyes did not flinch, she always felt that she was inexplicably targeted, but the two had never known each other and had never met, where did this inexplicable hostility come from?

"Do you know how to play the piano? If you don't, don't go up and embarrass me. Qin Shao whispered in Chu Jiao's ear.

Chu Jiao rolled her eyes: "I won't, don't let me go up." ”

"Nonsense, I've investigated you before, you are all out of the door, how can you have fun if you don't tinker with some stuff at home?" Qin Shao said again.

"Since you know all about it, it's okay to ask me again, it's just that you play the piano." After Chu Jiao got down, he went down to prepare the piano.

The queen mother looked at Chu Jiao, and she only knew that this woman was knowledgeable and good-looking, but now she doesn't know how to play the piano and how the female worker is, so she just took a look today.

Qin Chen sneaked out of the back door at this time, and after a while, the minions set up the long qin, and Chu Jiao sat down steadily, at this time, the stool legs suddenly trembled slightly, but she didn't take it to heart.

The slender fingers gently plucked the strings of the mountain and the flowing water, and the aftermath was resonant, which made people feel comfortable, but halfway through the play, Chu Jiao's stool suddenly loosened a stool leg and broke it.

It is a very serious matter to be suddenly disturbed by external forces when the attention is so concentrated, Qin Shao hurriedly stood up when he saw this, you must know that playing the piano is listening to the artistic conception and the smooth understanding of the music score of the person playing the piano, and now Chu Jiao is stumped by other things, and it is inevitable that there will be mistakes.

The sound of the qin was several wrong notes at this time, and no one in the hall dared to speak, the body of the Chu family couldn't sit still, she could only lift her legs slightly, and then stretched very straight, it seemed that she was still sitting on the stool, but in fact, her body had left the stool, and she just borrowed a side slightly.

Qin Chen showed a slight smile at this time, it seems that this woman is nothing more than that, nothing special.

Just when everyone thought that this matter was going to end awkwardly, the smooth piano sound sounded again, but this time, it was no longer the pleasant mountain flowing water, but an ambush on all sides, but in the next shun, it turned to the high mountain flowing water.

The two pieces are cleverly combined, the sound of the piano is very soft when the mountains and rivers are flowing and everyone feels soothed and the mood is comfortable, and the sound of the piano is very compact when ambushing on all sides, which makes people involuntarily nervous, and this feeling is more likable than before.

After a song, Chu Jiao stood up with both hands stroking the strings: "I don't know if the Queen Mother is still satisfied?" ”

"Good boy! What a good boy for me! Come and ask for a reward! The mourners never thought that you would be able to play such a beautiful tune. The Queen Mother clapped her hands and applauded, and the smile on her face did not decrease.

Qin Chen felt that this woman was very treacherous and cunning, obviously she played the wrong sound, how could she become hers now.

"It's just that the mountains and rivers are the mountains and the water, and the ambush on ten sides is the ambush on all sides, if they are together, wouldn't it destroy the artistic conception of the song itself and make the listener fall into confusion?" Qin Chen pouted.

Chu Jiao smiled faintly: "The family teacher Liu Chengze once warned me that it doesn't matter how the tune itself is, the important thing is whether the person who plays the piano can play the meaning of the song, if the person who understands it, even if it is a Yangzhou minor tune, he can also play the momentum of swallowing mountains and rivers, if he doesn't understand it, even if he talks about anything, he doesn't have that feeling, besides, the master of this piece has played it before, I am just a Dong Shi Xiaofeng." ”

Liu Chengze, his piano sound can be said to be the best in the world, no one who has heard it is bad, the first emperor listened to his piano when he was alive, only said that he met a bosom friend, and specially rewarded him with a good piano.

This incident was a sensation in the world at that time, and everyone knew about it.

Since then, all the women in the family want to worship him as a teacher to inherit his mantle, but they have only heard that he has only accepted three disciples in his life, but he did not expect that the second lady of the Chu family is one of them, which can be said to be extremely rare.

The Queen Mother was even more happy when she heard this: "You kid, it's really good, why don't you go into the palace to stay with the mourning family for a few days, there is a villa next to Cining Palace, so let you come and live." ”

Chu Jiao glanced at Qin Shao, Qin Shao nodded, and she didn't say anything.

Qin Chen suddenly felt faceless when Chu Jiao said this, and he was blushing and had no place to sow.

When the banquet was over, Qin Shao said to Chu Jiao: "The inner palace is very complicated, why don't I stay and stay with you for a few days, if there is anything, I can take care of it." ”

"It doesn't matter, I can still handle this little thing, but you once provoked that princess? Otherwise, why would she target me? Chu Jiao's words were a little ridiculous.

“

It's not a big deal, it's just that she once met a mountain bandit and was rescued by me, and I didn't know the identity of the princess at the time, so I didn't take it to heart. ”

Qin Shaoke said the truth, as if he was afraid that she would misunderstand.

"Look at the way you look, people must want to make a promise, that's why they came to me for trouble, why don't you take her another day? Anyway, you are a king with a different surname, and there is no blood relationship between you. Chu Jiao said with a smile.

As soon as Qin Shao heard this, his face instantly changed, and his whole body became gloomy, and his tone was not as kind as just now: "Besides, be careful that I pulled out your tongue." ”

Although there was a bit of a threat, Chu Jiao felt quite cute: "Of course it's a joke, she hasn't married you yet, so she is embarrassed by me, if she marries you, she may not tell me how much suffering I will suffer." ”

The two were talking and laughing, and at this time, Luo Min suddenly came, and she didn't have a smile on her face, she just said that she wanted to talk to Chu Jiao.

"You go back first, I'll go back to Cining Palace after talking to her in a while, don't worry about me." Chu Jiao pushed Qin Shao away, always with a smile on her face.

Looking back, seeing that Luo Min was crying, Chu Jiao hurriedly grabbed her shoulders: "What's wrong with you, I'm not right when I look at you at the banquet?" ”

She suddenly broke free of Chu Jiao's hands, and looked very excited: "You don't need to pretend here, where are you, I really don't understand!" ”

Chu Jiao was stunned for a moment, recalling Yao Chi's attitude before: "Could it be that your husband and wife are not going well?" ”

As soon as she said it, Chu Jiao regretted it, and sure enough, she was even more excited: "You are simply asking knowingly, I thought you could really be my good sister before, but I didn't expect it!" ”

"You can't say this clearly, how do I know what's going on and you make it clear! Have I ever seen him in private since you married the Third Prince? That is, I have only met once at the banquet today, and I have not said a word. ”

Chu Jiao explained to her that it was because she felt that Luo Min was actually not bad, and she felt a little guilty about using her before.

"You haven't seen him before! But he's thinking of you! He has your portrait in his study, and he has a scarf from you around his waist, and you tell me what it is! Ever since I got married, I could count everything he said to me on one finger, and I really didn't know if I was marrying the wrong person. ”

Luo Min was even more excited than Fang Cai, she was originally a straightforward woman, but now she hates Chu Jiao even more in her heart.

What woman in the world is willing to look at her husband and pretend to be someone else.

Chu Jiao was also stunned when she heard this, she was stunned, she didn't expect him to have such thoughts.
