"Queen Mother, calm down, this is not Concubine Ling, it's Miss Xia. Isn't Concubine Ling dead a long time ago? ”

At this time, it was still the emperor's exit, and he held the gaffe queen mother and gently comforted her in her ear.

The Queen Mother recognized the emperor's voice, and then looked seriously in Xia Xiaoxuan's direction, the fierceness in her eyes was slightly reduced, and she gradually quieted down, but her body still couldn't help but tremble.

"It was an accident just now, the Queen Mother may have worked too hard, and her body was a little strange, which scared everyone. It's okay now, everyone else. ”

The emperor spoke, and the queen mother was also helped down by the palace people, and everyone stood up and sat back in their places tremblingly.

After these two accidents, everyone's expressions are not very good-looking.

The emperor smiled and opened his mouth to ease the atmosphere: "The ancients, this song should only exist in the sky, and the world can hear it a few times." It looks like Miss Xia's piano skills, right? Even I can't help but be impressed. ”

"Thank you for the compliment." Xia Xiaoxuan realized that she didn't know when she was actually hugged into her arms by a slut, no wonder Luo Qingwen's eyes seemed to kill her.

pushed him away, took a step forward, and said generously, "Your Majesty, the people's daughter remembers that you said that if the people's daughter can play this piano, you want to reward the people's daughter?" No matter when she will never forget the opportunity to make a fortune, this is her Xia Xiaoxuan's style.

The emperor laughed when he heard this, and patted the dragon case very happily, "I naturally count when I speak, reward, naturally reward." I am in a great mood today. What does Miss Xia want? Let's put it bluntly. ”

Everyone looked at Xia Xiaoxuan curiously, thinking about what she would want? Is it the position of the princess? Or a death-free gold medal or something? It's more precious than anything else.

But Xia Xiaoxuan didn't think about it, and blurted out directly, which greatly fell into everyone's eyes, including Ye Ziyu and Zhu Yinyin. When they heard her piano sound, they all thought that she was a talented woman with a vulgar appearance, but in fact an elegant heart and a poetic belly.

Unexpectedly, she said, "Real money, the more the merrier." ”

Only Xiao Junluo's face remains unchanged, and he knows this woman's money-hungry but unconcealed character. However, she was really able to attract butterflies just now, but he was really shocked, and the Queen Mother moved with killing intent, and he really saw it. It seems that he will have to be careful in the future and try not to bring her to this kind of occasion again.

Baili Jinchen smiled even more happily, and immediately rewarded real money and silver - 10,000 taels each.

Xia Xiaoxuan looked at the golden ingots in the box, and her mouth was crooked with happiness.

Xiao Junluo felt uncomfortable when he saw her like this, and when he asked her to be a concubine in the hall just now, she was indifferent. Could it be that a dignified princess Xiao is not as tempting as 10,000 taels of gold and silver?

Just when everyone thought that Xia Xiaoxuan would go home stupidly with two big boxes, she suddenly turned her head, picked up the phoenix tail, and just said politely to the eighth princess, "Thank you for the eighth princess, if the princess wants to watch the piano in the future, you can come to King Xiao's mansion, and the door of our house will always be open for you, the princess." After speaking, he looked at everyone and added, "Everyone can come, but there is a fee." ”

didn't look at the eighth princess's face that darkened in an instant, so she left happily.

On the carriage back, Xia Xiaoxuan held the silver in one hand and Baoqin in the other, and this sorrow in her heart was happier than hugging a beautiful man.

Xiao Wangye looked at her with a happy crooked mouth all the way, and couldn't help but speak, "Do you know how ugly you look like a philistine now?" ”

A certain woman didn't care, and gave her a big roll of the eyes, "You are jealous." Lao Tzu made a fortune and took it in a good way. This is the emperor's personal reward, I warn you, you are not allowed to touch this silver, what can I use? ”

I was worried that I didn't have any money, but I didn't expect to make a windfall, and even God helped her.

A certain prince was unhappy

He didn't like her to tell everything so clearly, "What's the use of you?" Eat and drink in the palace? Nothing you spends money on. Let me save it for you, lest you lose it again. ”

"Who said I'm useless, can Lao Tzu keep it for me as a dowry for my future father-in-law?" By the way, how did he know that she had lost her money?

Knowing that she was deliberately angry with herself, she still couldn't help but be angry. Looking at the piano in her hand again, there was a trace of worry in Feng's eyes.

"How do you know how to play the piano?" Xiao Junluo couldn't tell whether he was more happy or worried. I am happy because he didn't recognize the wrong person, and I am worried that today's incident is only afraid that one stone will stir up a thousand waves, and I don't know how much trouble it will cause in the future.

For this, Xia Xiaoxuan was also puzzled. "I don't know, you know what I do, where do I have the time to practice? But it's also strange that I seem to be a natural fit with this instrument, like an old friend for many years. To be honest, it's not that I'm playing it, it's that it's driving me. Every note just pops out as it should. ”

She didn't understand, but Xiao Junluo did.

I was shocked in my heart, but the exit was angry, "Maybe the blind cat touched the dead mouse, right?" ”

Xia Xiaoxuan felt that she really didn't have a common language with him, and she would definitely be angry with him if she continued to talk about it. Fortunately, she has mental compensation and doesn't care about being like a slut. When she makes a lot of money and gets out of his clutches, she will not be able to choose the beautiful men in the world at that time. Hug left and right, enjoy the blessings of all people, and be angry with this slut.

Xiao Junluo didn't know what was going on in her head, otherwise she would definitely be angry and vomit blood.

Back at King Xiao's Mansion, Xia Xiaoxuan happily presented treasures to Aunt Mei and Xiaolan Hongfeng, and told them about the things she encountered in the palace with great interest. Xiaolan and Hongfeng both listened to it with relish, and they were full of praise for the master's harvest.

Only Aunt Mei's face was not very good-looking, especially when she saw the phoenix tail, her eyes could not hide her excitement. The calloused hand touched the body of the piano with a slight tremble, and his eyes were full of vicissitudes.

"Aunt Mei, you also think this piano is very beautiful, don't you? Did you know? When I used it to attract butterflies, everyone was shocked. Truth be told, she herself was shocked.

The two girls opened their mouths in surprise when they heard this, and it was hard to imagine how spectacular that scene was.

"Master, are you telling the truth? Can this piano really attract butterflies? ”

"Master, can you play it for us? Let's also see the magic of this piano? ”

"No way!"

The two girls were cheering, begging their master to play another song. But when they heard Aunt Mei shouting, the three of them were stunned.

Realizing that she was too excited just now, Aunt Mei hurriedly breathed a sigh of relief, "This piano is so precious, be careful to break it." And the master, you shine in the palace today, and you won the eighth princess's beloved piano, which will inevitably attract jealousy. I think it's better not to move this harp yet, lest it bring calamity. ”

Xia Xiaoxuan thought that what Aunt Mei said was not unreasonable, she did offend a lot of people in the main hall today. When I went up to play the piano, I just fought for a breath, and I didn't want to owe that slut love. Of course, most importantly, she has always been paranoid about treasures. Since she saw it and entered her eyes, she always had to find a way to get it, and when the time came, it would be better to sell it for money.

But now she looked at the piano but was reluctant, since the sound of the piano played in the main hall, she felt that she had become one with this piano. It was as if she had found a loved one she had lost for many years, and it felt very intimate. It's as if this piano was born to belong to her.

"Aunt Mei, you have been in the palace, do you know the legend of this phoenix tail? I heard that this was originally the piano of one of the emperor's favorite concubines, and when she played the piano, she could attract a lot of butterflies. But this piano has been in the hands of the eighth princess for many years, but she has not done it, and others have tried to do it. On the contrary, I, a layman who doesn't know how to play the piano, how can I play it casually

Such a miracle happened? ”

Could it be that her background has something to do with this instrument?

looked at Aunt Mei, but saw that her eyes seemed to be shining with tears, moving from the phoenix tail to her, and looked at it for a long time, it seemed that there were a thousand words, but I didn't know where to start. This made her even more suspicious.

"yes, we've heard that, too. However, it seems that this concubine is a cult person, and in the end she poisoned the former emperor and was burned to death in the palace. Xiaolan timidly said the story she knew.

"But this matter has become taboo, and no one dares to open public opinion." Red Maple also interjected.

"That's not the case at all, she's wronged." Aunt Mei's extremely excited retort attracted Xia Xiaoxuan to be even more curious.

"Aunt Mei, do you know anything?" Xia Xiaoxuan helped Aunt Mei sit down and asked her to calm down. She thought the story might have something to do with her.

Aunt Mei sighed slowly, her eyes were misty and full of nostalgia, "Actually, I am not familiar with Concubine Ling, but I was also young at that time, and once I made a mistake and was punished by the housekeeper, if it wasn't for Concubine Lingniang who saved my life, I'm afraid my life would not be guaranteed." Such a good person, how could she be a cult person? How could it harm the emperor? So no matter what others say, I don't believe it. ”

So it was, and all three fell silent. No one can tell the truth clearly, and they can't tell the difference. However, seeing that Aunt Mei trusted that spirit concubine so much, Xia Xiaoxuan also became curious about her.

"Aunt Mei, can Concubine Lingfei really attract butterflies when she plays the piano?"

Xiaolan and Hongfeng also looked at Aunt Li with burning eyes, full of anticipation. After all, this incident was a legend back then.

Aunt Mei's face looked better, and when she remembered the events of the past, her eyes were a little more amazing.

"That's true. Once when I was on an errand in the Ronghua Palace, I had the privilege of witnessing that spectacular scene with my own eyes. At that time, everyone was shocked and couldn't say how to paint, and those colorful butterflies, like elves, danced around the concubine. I still can't forget that scene. ”

Xiaolan and Hongfeng listened attentively, although they didn't see it with their own eyes, they felt dazzling when they thought about it. However, although they didn't have the opportunity to see them, it was also a blessing that they could know their master, maybe their master would be another legend?

"Is Concubine Ling's beauty very beautiful, they say that Concubine Ling's beauty is unparalleled in the world, is it true?"

Aunt Mei retracted her thoughts, looked at Xia Xiaoxuan's curious eyes, and was stunned for a moment. Reaching out and touching her face gently, there seemed to be pity in her eyes.

"Concubine Ling is very beautiful, but beauty may not necessarily bring blessings to a woman, and it may also be a disaster."

She didn't say anything about the rest of the matter, but Xia Xiaoxuan had already thought that since ancient times, it was inevitable that she would be crowned with the reputation of seducing the monarch. Even if the scenery is temporary, it will not escape the doom in the end.

"I heard that Concubine Ling also gave birth to a princess, that is, the ninth princess, who is not only beautiful, but also smart and clever, and won the favor of the emperor, but she suffered at such a young age." Red Maple sighed.

"Is the ninth princess dead too?" Xia Xiaoxuan looked at Aunt Mei curiously.

"I don't know about this matter, after all, I was just a little palace maid back then. Well, don't talk about these taboos, being heard by outsiders will cause trouble. Aunt Mei didn't seem to want to talk anymore, so she hurriedly held the piano and found a place to put it.

Xia Xiaoxuan always felt that Aunt Mei didn't seem to tell her anything, but if she didn't want to say it, she naturally couldn't force it. The most important thing now is to live her own life, anyway, she is not a person of this era, so what does everything have to do with her.

Prime Minister's Office

Mingyue Xuan is a relatively remote courtyard in the Prime Minister's Mansion, but in this courtyard lives the Prime Minister's son-in-law, who was known as the first son of the amazing talent ten years ago - Fu Yunqing.
