Chapter 44: The Anchoviol

But she still hasn't figured it out, what is Xiao Junluo trying to do? Is it necessary to make such a big deal?

I only heard a calm voice above my head, "Her name is Xia Xiaoxuan, she is not a daughter of a famous family, but she is a woman who has worshipped me." It's just that I haven't come yet to inform the Queen Mother and ask the Queen Mother to atone for her sins. “

When everyone heard this, they were shocked again, this time even Luo Qingwen was shocked, regardless of the fact that the queen mother and the emperor were still present, and made a loud noise.

"Cousin, how can you marry a female bandit as a wife? Don't you know that you are an official and she is a bandit? Your identity is impossible. “

Luo Qingwen was really mad, and originally begged the princess to protect her matchmaker today, so that she could marry her cousin. Even if you can't, you can put some pressure on him. It's just that she didn't expect that a Li Wanqing appeared first, and now that this matter has come again, she is even more jealous.

immediately kowtowed to the Queen Mother, and said in a crying voice: "The Queen Mother, my cousin must be a magic barrier, you must not listen to him, you must not marry this female bandit to him, this is a humiliating thing for the lintel." ”

"Shut up, when will it be your turn to intervene in the affairs of this king. Besides, the emperor agreed to this matter, do you want the emperor to go back on his word? ”

Xiao Junluo snorted coldly, and Luo Qingwen, who was frightened, shook her body and didn't dare to say another word.

The Queen Mother looked at the emperor puzzled, and asked with a displeased face: "Your Majesty, you already know about this matter?" ”

From the beginning to the present, the Son of Heaven, who has been completely ignored just for his opening remarks, finally has his turn to speak.

He bowed respectfully to the Queen Mother and said, "Yes, Queen Mother, King Xiao has already reported this matter to me." Although Xia Xiaoxuan's background is not good, she has been a bandit. But this time the case of the flower thief was solved because of her, and it can be regarded as a meritorious service, and the merits are offset. Besides, it is a fact that they did marry when they were in the mountains. ”

Xia Xiaoxuan couldn't help but glance at the emperor more, it seemed that he was not so obedient to the queen mother. But I don't know why, she has a better impression of the emperor than the queen mother.

The Queen Mother rubbed her eyebrows, and it was not good to brush the emperor's face in public, so she had to say: "Let's talk about this matter later, let's not discuss it today." ”

After Xiao Junluo thanked him, he took Xia Xiaoxuan back to his place. Luo Qingwen and Li Wanqing also returned to their tables one by one, but their lonely expressions were beyond words.

In order to ease the atmosphere, the emperor looked at the eighth princess and said, "I heard that the eighth princess has been practicing hard recently, I don't know if she has grown, so she just came out to show it, right?" ”

The eighth princess stood up in response and ordered her harp to be frought.

As soon as this piano came out, everyone's eyes lit up. It turned out to be a phoenix tail qin, and according to legend, one of the top ten treasures of the Brahma continent is this phoenix tail qin.

The eighth princess was full of confidence, sitting in front of the phoenix tail piano with an intoxicated expression. pair

The softness like a green onion seems to be the sound of this piano.

Gently pluck the strings, and a string of beautiful piano sounds sounded leisurely. A Sauvignon Blanc, euphemistic and beautiful, I don't know how many girls have plucked the fragile string in their hearts, with her piano sound, ups and downs.

This piano is a good piano, and the music is also a good song. The appearance of the person who plays the piano is even more impeccable. But there are always some people who can't help but sigh quietly, as if with a sense of regret.

Xia Xiaoxuan pricked up her ears to listen to their whispering, it turned out that this phoenix tail qin was given to him by the emperor to one of his concubines. For this piano, the emperor did not hesitate to spend a lot of money, and even exchanged ten cities for it. It can be seen how much the emperor liked this concubine. I heard that the emperor brought it back to the palace because he heard her piano sound. Legend has it that when the concubine played the piano, she was able to attract butterflies to dance with her, and the scene was quite beautiful. Anyone who has seen enough of that scene will never forget it.

Xia Xiaoxuan thought to herself, isn't that Concubine Xiang? It is said that Concubine Xiang can attract butterflies when she dances, and that is because she has a peculiar body fragrance. But does playing the piano really attract butterflies? She hadn't heard of it yet, and she couldn't help but be curious.

"Xiao Junluo, are they telling the truth? Can anyone really play the piano to attract butterflies? Driven by curiosity, a woman curiously asked the person closest to her.

Xiao Junluo's phoenix eyes sank, and he looked at Xia Xiaoxuan silently for a moment, until Xia Xiaoxuan thought that he would say that he didn't know, but he opened his mouth.

"Yes, there is."

This time, Xia Xiaoxuan was even more curious, and regardless of the estrangement between them, she continued to ask, "What the hell is going on?" Can you tell me about it? ”

He glanced at her again, saw her expectant eyes, and rubbed the top of her head comfortingly, "This matter is a royal secret, let's wait until I get home." “

In this case, she was not reluctant, but she was afraid that he would regret it, so she emphasized one side, "Then you must tell me when you go home?" “

Xiao Junluo's heart warmed when she heard the word "home" she said. Although he deliberately seduced her, she really said it, although unconsciously, he already felt very happy. If only one day, she could really call it home.

At the end of the song, the applause was like thunder, which was an affirmation of the eighth princess.

Originally, she was proud, but she heard everyone's whispers just now, and she was not angry, but she couldn't swallow this breath.

"I know that someone once used this piano to attract butterflies, but this palace is not talented, and he has not practiced that fire yet. Here this palace wants to throw bricks and lead jade, I don't know which young lady can come up and give it a try. If it can really attract butterflies, this palace is willing to give this phoenix tail qin with both hands, how about counting it as the first prize today? “

She dared to say this because she believed that no one could do it, except the woman who died.

A lot of famous daughters want to

To give it a try, since someone can do it, it's not legendary. It's just a matter of chance, or technique. The most important thing is the phoenix tail qin, which is said to be the world's first pianist Lu Ziyi, who took nearly half a lifetime to make. Whether it is the selection of materials, color matching, and carving, it is carefully selected, and it takes countless attempts to be satisfied. And he only made this one piano in his life, but it made countless people who love the piano flock to it.

There was a down-and-out and generous young lady who stepped forward and gave a deep salute and said euphemistically, "The little girl has been admiring the phoenix tail qin for a long time, and it is really a blessing to see it today, if you can borrow the eighth princess's baoqin to play a song, it will be regarded as no regrets in this life." “

The eighth princess Yingying got up, made a gesture of please, and gave up her position.

The woman dared to say such a big thing, naturally she was familiar with the rhythm of music. It is true that her piano skills are better than those of the eighth princess, coupled with the innate spirituality of the phoenix tail, which has the function of turning decay into magic, making this Sauvignon Blanc a hundred soft intestines. It seems that the artistic conception in the piano has arrived in front of you, and people can't help but sigh.

At the end of the song, I was amazed. The eighth princess still had a smile on her face, maintaining the consistent temperament and demeanor of a royal noblewoman.

"Miss Guo's piano skills are superb, and even the palace is ashamed of herself. It's just that...... I don't think I saw any butterflies appearing, did I? “

The young lady surnamed Guo showed an embarrassed look on her face and retreated.

The eighth princess Baili Qianfeng sneered in her heart, laughing at them for not being able to do anything. She had been studying hard for ten years, and before she had reached that point, she didn't believe that they could. As for the woman, as the queen mother said, she must have used some kind of witchcraft, otherwise how could she really attract butterflies?

After Miss Guo's challenge failed, naturally no one dared to go up again, and Baili Qianfeng's expression was even more conceited.

"That girl surnamed Xia, aren't you going to be Princess Xiao? This position is not something that anyone can sit in casually, so why should there be something extraordinary? Why don't you play a song and let us know for a long time? “

Xia Xiaoxuan, who was studying the guqin attentively, was suddenly named. You don't have to look to know that it's that Qingwen's cousin again. always tries to humiliate her. Even if she doesn't care about saving her life, she doesn't need to take revenge, right? Besides, who wants to be Princess Xiao, you have the ability to submit him yourself? I can't get used to women who can't grasp men's hearts and can only scold juniors. If it weren't for men's greed, how could there be a creature like Xiao San?

Hey, no, how can you say that she herself seems to be a junior?

She looked at Xiao Junluo, wanting to see how he reacted, but saw that his face was a little dark.

At this time, some people wanted the world to be in chaos, and Li Wanqing, who suffered the same fate as Luo Qingwen, also made up for it, "Miss Luo is right, Miss Xia won't be so stingy, right?" Give us a chance to worship? “
