Chapter 235: Peony Banquet (1)

As her mind turned, Chu Huotian had already found Pei Lingling kneeling in the middle, and wondered, "Who is this?" Why don't you quit yet? ”

The queen hurriedly said: "The concubine wants to say that there are many people who can sing and dance among the new show girls, so they specially ordered them to compile one or two pieces of music to open everyone's eyes." ”

Chu Huotian has always been dispensable to singing and dancing, so he waved his hand and said, "Oh, it's okay." Then he stopped talking.

That Pei Lingling saw that he had worked hard and didn't even praise him in the end, so he had to retreat with hatred.

At this time, suddenly the ethereal sound of the piano sounded again, like spring water entering a pool, very clear and beautiful. For a moment, the entire hall seemed to be silent.

Chu Huotian was irritable by state affairs, and was invited by the queen to enjoy a flower banquet, he was already in a bad mood, but now when he heard the clear and ethereal sound of the piano, he suddenly felt refreshed, and immediately stroked his jaw and listened carefully.

Ouyang Zhen listened to it for a while, and only felt that the person who played the piano was elegant, and she played the song "Clear Water Flowing" heartily. The spring scene was described by her with the sound of the piano as if in front of her.

The sound of the piano is dingdong, high and low, like water flowing through, or torrent or gentle. After a song, the people in the hall were silent. When the last note ended, Chu Huotian applauded first, and immediately all the concubines in the hall also applauded.

Ouyang Zhen quietly looked at the place where the sound of the piano came from, it was a warm pavilion in the garden outside the Fengyi Palace, and the beautiful woman who played the piano was hidden here.

Chu Huotian's handsome face smiled and said: "The queen really invited a good musician, this song is so confident, it is rare that it is flowing and flowing without hindrance." Come and get a reward! ”

Seeing that Chu Huotian was finally willing to smile at herself, the queen was overjoyed, and said with a half-hidden smile: "The emperor is wise and martial, but this time he is wrong, this is not a musician invited by the concubine, but a newcomer to the emperor!" ”

The look of surprise in Chu Huotian's eyes suddenly appeared, the queen had already turned her head, and ordered the palace people to invite, and after a while, I saw a white-clothed figure coming with a long qin.

She has a cold complexion, and only a few white plums are lightly embroidered on her white clothes, which is embroidered with dark lines.

As she walked, she looked straight ahead, and the loneliness was eye-catching. All the concubines are talking about it at the moment.

Lin pulled Ouyang Zhen's sleeve and said in a low voice: "The queen is ingenious, this time the emperor will definitely take a fancy to this woman." ”

Ouyang Zhen smiled lightly, looked at Chu Huotian with beautiful eyes, and saw that his eyebrows and eyes were deep, and his handsome face was as calm as water, but he couldn't see anything in his expression.

Look at that woman again, isn't she the daughter of the Ministry of Rites Shangshu - Li Mingqian, she is really high! Ouyang Zhen sneered a few times in his heart.

If it was really Qinggao, he would not cooperate with the queen's acting so much.

Chu Huotian saw her come close and saluted, and looked up and down for a while before nodding: "Li Aiqing's daughter is really extraordinary. After he finished speaking, he turned his head to the queen and said: "Most of the show girls in this session are talented, and the queen has chosen well." ”

The queen smiled humbly: "The concubines also hope that the emperor's harem will be enriched, and the concubines will spread out for the emperor, this is the blessing of my great Chu." ”

Mrs. Liu Guo also smiled: "Looking at these new show girls, the concubines feel old, or the back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves." After she finished speaking, she smiled and sighed a few times, and the concubines under her were also very lonely.

Li Yinghong sat at the bottom of Ouyang Zhen, and pursed her lips disdainfully when she heard the words: "If you don't say that you are old, can't others see it?" She said very softly, but she also made Ouyang Zhen hear. Since she knew that Mrs. Liu Guo was harmful to her, she always looked at Mrs. Liu Guo unpleasantly.

Zhang Fang, a newly mentioned Zhang Guiren Xiaoyi, suddenly smiled slightly at the bottom: "Mrs. Liuguo is poor, Mrs. Liuguo is in her prime, and several sisters and sisters are all young people, how can they be said to be beauties." ”

There are also many newcomers who are also timid: "Yes, yes, the slaves and maids see that several maids are also virtuous and talented people." ”

When Mrs. Liu Guo saw that everyone said this, she smiled happily. Chu Huotian saw that Li Mingqian was still kneeling and ordered her to take a seat. Li Mingqian raised her head slightly, and saw that Chu Huotian still didn't look at her twice, and she was disappointed, so she had to lower her head and sit on her seat.

Chu Huotian sat for a while, drank wine with the concubines, and then went out, before leaving, he looked at Ouyang Zhen with a light smile on his face, and suddenly turned his head to the queen and said: "Rou Fangyi has just been pregnant, so it is not suitable to work hard, I will take her out together." Ouyang Zhen was stunned for a moment, then he quickly got up and followed Chu Huotian out of the "Fengyi Palace".

When they went out, it was like a stone thrown into the heart of a lake, and a stone splashed a thousand waves, and the new and old people stared at the backs of Ouyang Zhen and Chu Huotian with hatred, unwilling and unwilling.

Ouyang Zhen followed Chu Huotian's dragon chariot to the "Ganlu Palace", and when he got off the dragon chariot, Chu Huotian carefully helped her into the hall, and then smiled: "Do you feel bored when you stay over there?" ”

Ouyang Zhen glanced at him, and Ying Ying said with a smile: "It's the emperor who feels depressed, the concubines think it's good, there are dances to watch, there are pianos to listen to, and what's more interesting is that you can also watch a scene, why did the emperor pull the concubines over." ”

Chu Huotian sat on the dragon chair, took a sip of tea, and said with a smile: "It's not my dare to be affectionate, it's actually Shengsheng who pulled you to accompany you." ”

His smile was light, with three points of banter, and Ouyang Zhen blushed and his heart beats.

"The emperor didn't see so many beauties piled up in front of you, and the emperor didn't even look at it." Ouyang Zhen straightened his face and smiled.

Chu Huotian sighed, hugged her and sat beside him, touched her slippery and pink face with a helpless smile: "Where do those women dare to touch easily, what's wrong?" Are you jealous? ”

Ouyang Zhen was stunned and shook his head, seeing that his face was deeply tired, he couldn't help but lean into his arms: "Your Majesty ......" thought for a long time but had nothing to say. Who can enter the eyes of the women in the harem, it is never something she can control.

He had his problems, and she really couldn't help much.

"Ji'er, I'm sorry for you." Chu Huotian said suddenly, his eyes as bright as stars looked into her beautiful eyes, like the deep sea, so that people couldn't see through or understand.

Ouyang Zhen looked at him suspiciously. Chu Huotian smiled slightly and kissed her lightly on the face: "I want to borrow you to see their true faces." His hand rubbed gently against her tenderness, as if thinking of something incomprehensible.

Ouyang Zhen suddenly realized that he had not favored newcomers for a long time, just to see how they acted, whether it was the overt and covert pressure of the court in front of him, or the collusion of the harem to curry favor.

For example, what the queen arranged today clearly told Chu Huotian that she was interested in a concubine like Li Mingqian with a civil official background who had no real power.

The water in this Chu Palace is getting deeper and deeper......
