Chapter 703: Evil Spirit
The cool night breeze, the bright moonlight, the shadows of the flowers, the jagged pavilions, and the water in the pool is shining with the sparkling silver moonlight.
A good-looking woman, sitting on a rockery, holding a pipa in her arms, played "The Evil Spirit" drippingly, accompanied by the music, and sang in a low voice with a beautiful voice...... It's fascinating.
Ye Qingyan was enjoying the shade under the corridor outside the hall, holding a lotus-patterned fan in her hand, Xiao Changqi was accompanying her, looking at an ancient book in her hand.
Suddenly, Ye Qingyan heard the pipa singing, especially the female voice seemed to have infinite resentment, lingering and compassionate, and couldn't help but say: "It's very good, I don't know who is singing." ”
Xiao Changqi closed the person in his hand and said to Ye Qingyan: "Jiaojiao, it's not early, it's time to rest." ”
It's just that Ye Qingyan was very interested, took his hand, and said excitedly: "Your Majesty, the concubine hasn't heard such a beautiful song for a few days, go over and take a look." ”
Xiao Changqi knew what was going on, but it was just a woman in the harem, a means to attract him to the past.
It's just that he didn't attract the past, but hooked this person who loves to listen to music......
Helpless, I can only follow her past.
Follow the winding verandah in the direction of the Imperial Garden.
But before they could get to the place, the music suddenly stopped, and the night was silent.
Ye Qingyan stopped and frowned slightly, "Why is it gone." ”
Xiao Changqi said: "Let's go back, Ming'er I asked someone to find out who was playing and singing at night." ”
"Okay." Ye Qingyan looked at the direction of the Imperial Garden where the singing voice had just come from, and it would be nice if he used his mental power to see who it was just now. But listening to the voice, it doesn't look like a harem concubine.
And none of those concubines dared to go to the imperial garden to play and sing in the middle of the night, after all, there was once buried the body of the palace maid, and Li Concubine died tragically in the garden, and no one went around during the day, let alone in the middle of the night.
Also, Xiao Changqi does not have the habit of traveling at night. Playing and singing in the middle of the night, maybe he will feel that he disturbed his reading Yaxing, and blame it.
Ye Qingyan finally had to go back with Xiao Changqi stupidly. I thought that I must find this woman who played and sang tomorrow.
Early the next morning, after Ye Qingyan woke up, he was busy with the palace affairs of the harem, as well as the accounts of some balm shops and some restaurants and inns sent to the palace.
When she finished her business, she accompanied Yuan Er to play games and teach him to speak and read things, although these were all educated, but she still wanted to do it herself. After the last day, I was busy, and it wasn't until it was almost dark again that I remembered last night's pipa singer.
Although Xiao Changqi said last night that he was looking for her, he didn't actually look for it, thinking that Ye Qingyan forgot it.
I didn't expect her to have fun, and her memory was good, so she remembered it. In the end, I had to ask Gong Cheng to find the pipa singer last night.
There are only two concubines in the harem who are good at playing the pipa, one is Zhang Ronghua and the other is He Cairen. But the two of them rested early last night, and they didn't go to the imperial garden to blow the night breeze and sing to invite pets. At the moment, Zhuang Xiuyi, who invited pets, is still grounded, and Li Concubine is gone, so these concubines are quite taboo about inviting pets.
That's not a concubine, it's a palace maid, it can't be a female ghost.
The palace maids on errand will only be more cautious than the concubines, and they will not go to the imperial garden to do the stupid thing of inviting pets if they are killed. The chance of getting His Majesty's favor in this way is very slim, not to mention, it is more likely to cause bad luck to the mother's family.
Since they are not palace maids on errands, they are those palace maids who have just entered the palace.
And the new palace maid is now studying the palace rules in the Ting Palace, and she doesn't know much about the things in the harem, and even many people have the idea of getting His Majesty's favor and flying on the branches to become a phoenix, so it is very likely that she sneaks into the imperial garden at night to play and sing.
Gong Cheng brought someone to the court and asked who went to the imperial garden last night to play the pipa and sing.
There are a few palace maids who have just entered the palace who can play the pipa, but only one of them came to the palace with the pipa - Fan Caiying.
Fan Caiying's appearance is outstanding, with a charming face that is unforgettable at a glance, especially those eyes, watery, as if they are as bright and attractive as spring dew.
"You played the pipa in the Imperial Garden last night?" Gong Cheng looked her up and down, and asked in a voice that couldn't be heard with joy and anger.
Fan Caiying replied: "It's the slave." Because the slave and maid miss their hometown, did they disturb the chief steward, and hoped for forgiveness. ”
Gong Cheng replied with a smile: "It's okay to disturb our family, but it alarmed Your Majesty." Last night, the queen accompanied Her Majesty to enjoy the coolness, and suddenly heard the pipa music and appreciated it very much, so the person who wanted to play the music tonight entered the Kunyuan Palace to perform. ”
Fan Caiying's eyes flashed with joy very quickly, and she immediately responded: "Yes, the slave is ready." ”
……
The moonlight was like water, sprinkled all over the earth.
Ye Qingyan sat in the pavilion in the small garden of Kunyuan Palace, admiring the bright moon and waiting for her pipa song.
As for Xiao Changqi, he is not interested in pipa music, and would rather play with Yuan Er.
Ye Qingyan was also happy to enjoy it alone, and it was okay if Xiao Changqi didn't listen, after the beauties of the province saw him, they fell into him. If he admired this singer, she would not feel sorry for her, and she would have the urge to eat insects and shoot herself on the feet.
So, it's good for her to listen alone.
Fan Caiying has been carefully dressed, and she looks more and more coquettish, with towering breasts, plump buttocks, and a slender waist, and the beauty of a mature girl everywhere, she is almost picked.
The moment Ye Qingyan saw her, he was stunned at first, this, this is not ...... Fang Caiying? The one who poisoned her! Have you already entered the palace?
Fan Caiying hugged the pipa in her arms, and Ying Ying bowed, "Slave Fan Caiying, knock to see the queen's mother, the mother is a thousand years old." ”
Fan Caiying, Fang Caiying...... Ye Qingyan looked at her, raised his hand, and asked her to get up, "You played and sang last night?" ”
"Back to the queen's mother, it is the slave maid." Fan Caiying got up a little nervously.
Ye Qingyan asked someone to prepare a stool for her, "Let's play a song first." ”
The song "Flat Sand and Falling Geese" pops up slowly, which is beautiful and beautiful.
Ye Qingyan listened, applauded and drank lightly, "It's good." Let's play last night's "The Evil" again. ”
"Yes, Queen." Fan Caiying glanced slightly in the direction of the main hall, then tuned the string tone, and immersed herself in emotions for a moment...... Shallow chanting and singing, "Evil, I want to know you and live a long life......"
The singing is lingering, the spirit is deep and resentful, it is an infatuated woman's thoughts about her lover, and her feelings are strong, and Ye Qingyan is very fascinated and intoxicated by it.
Xiao Changqi coaxed Yuan Er to sleep, walked to the window, and glanced at Ye Qingyan, who was still listening to the music, and was fascinated by it, and shook his head secretly, this is fortunate to be a woman, if it is a man, it must not be a gentleman.
