Chapter Eighty-Three: The Pipa of the Confessed Master
ο»Ώο»Ώ
I don't understand, I really don't understand.
After such a long period of tacit cultivation, Qi Ming and Liyan could easily tell what I wanted to say from my expressions.
"You don't understand?" Liyan asked.
I nodded.
"Did the Holy Lord say in the Qianxiang Hall today that you were left to be the queen in the future?" Li Yan asked rhetorically.
I nodded, but what is the necessary connection between the two? Even if I am sure that I will be the future queen, then what I have to do now should be the prince, the prince of the dynasty, the prince is happy, and he is willing to marry me, then he will come to communicate with me, if the prince is not willing to marry me, then I may be given the title of a queen but in fact I was beaten into the cold palace, I have thought about these, but this is only related to the prince, and has nothing to do with other princes, they spend so much effort to win me over, and it is impossible to say.
Qi Ming then explained: "The saint said that you were left as the future queen, and did not directly say that you would be married to the prince, so he inadvertently revealed his thoughts, in fact, he was not so sure that he wanted to pass on the throne to the prince, and he was still thinking about who to pass the throne to, but the person who ascended the throne in the end will definitely marry you as his wife, and the struggle for power in this palace is never simple. β
My heart suddenly became much clearer, but after the clarity, it was accompanied by bursts of loss and sadness. Sure enough, these family relationships are fake, but the conspiracy is real...... Although I have been confused before, and I am not naΓ―ve enough to believe that Concubine Xian and King Qi are just family affection for me, I still have a little expectation in my heart, looking forward to me having such a good brother who will go through ups and downs with me and grow up together.
But all this is broken, and I can't go on with such a simple dream, because if you don't open your eyes, the world won't change a little because you can't see. After all, covering your ears and stealing the bell is just self-deception, there are too many dreams in this world, any one of them is enough to make you intoxicated, but the final result of indulging in dreams can only be a body stabbed by reality.
Liyan and Qiming seemed to be a little afraid that I was sad, with an unbearable look on their faces, I smiled at them, this is really nothing, I didn't have any heavy friendship with them, and I am not the kind of woman who wants to climb the dragon and the phoenix and fly Huang Tengda, I don't believe that anyone in this world will be good to you for no reason, even my parents are smiling and running to Huangquan, without thinking of me who is lonely in the world.
Qi Ming, Qi Qi, Liyan, Duxue, Chen Fei. The four of them are the people I should care about and care about, although we are all in the middle of a conspiracy, and since we are powerless to break free, it is better to be each other's company.
At this moment, the maid entered the door and reported: "The concubine is here." β
Immediately afterwards, an intimate voice came from outside the door: "Qingyi, Qingyi, are you there?" β
I hurriedly greeted out, and sure enough, it was the concubine Niangniang who came with Yucheng and Sheng Yao, and when Sheng Yao saw me, he threw himself into my arms with a smile on his face, and shouted sweetly: "Sister Qingyi." β
The gloomy mood just now was immediately sweetened by his coquettish voice, and welcomed them into the house, this time I learned the lesson of the last time, first gave them a seat to send tea, and took a few pieces of dim sum candy for Sheng Yao to eat, this dim sum was sent by the saint last time, soft and delicious, I kept it for Chen Fei, but I was busy forgetting, this will simply take it out for Sheng Yao to eat.
"Are the two princes still used to everything in the palace?" The concubine asked Qi Ming and Liyan.
"Xie Niangniang cares, everything is fine."
The concubine smiled with satisfaction, and asked Qi Ming: "Today I heard that the Holy Lord intends to form a hundred years of friendship between the prince and the princess of Heze?" β
Qi Ming smiled shyly, which counted as acquiescence.
"Prince Qiming is really blessed, the queen's sister has no heirs, only two daughters, this princess Heze is the treasure of the queen's palm, in the future, you have to treat her well." The concubine said with a smile.
"I understand below." Qi Ming smiled gently, cautiously and cautiously, and did not say much.
The queen has no heirs? So whose son is the crown prince today? I wondered in my heart, why are things in my uncle's family so complicated? Qi Ming and Liyan were also puzzled, but everyone was silent, and it was better not to inquire about other people's family affairs.
"Looking at the two of you in this golden and jade relationship, it is really enviable. Come, Qingyi, I brought you a good thing today, Yucheng, take it to my sister. The concubine said, and the prince of Yucheng took a long box from Yahuan's hand, put it on the coffee table, and after opening it, it was a pipa.
Pipa! I was pleasantly surprised, walked over and gently stroked its white wood with my fingers, the corners of the pipa were already a little old, but the strings and pillows were intact, I gently plucked the strings, the sound cut through the air, the timbre was crisp and full, it was really a good instrument. The concubine really understands my thoughts, and this gift has indeed been delivered to my heart.
The concubine saw that I was happy, and she was also happy: "This piano has been said for some years, it is the last piano made by the original regretful master before his death, and it has been displaced to my father's hands, when I entered the palace, I originally wanted to give it to the eldest princess of Nanyin, but I didn't want the eldest princess of Nanyin to marry before me, this pipa has been put in my mother's house, a few days ago you entered the palace, I thought that you like the rhythm, and it is easy to get bored after staying in the palace for a long time, so I will send this piano to you to relieve boredom." β
It really bothered the concubine, this piano really has a story, the original regret master is a Taoist Gaoni in the previous dynasty, especially the pipa and guqin, playing is really wonderful, and the folk recite that she is the highest qin master in the past hundred years. However, Master Yuan Cheng has traveled all over the world and has a lot of experience, and he has found a lot of ancient wood talents, and the pipa he makes is unique in the world, and he is the only legendary female luthier.
It is a great honor to have the pipa she made by herself today.
"Do you like it?" The concubine asked.
My chick nodded violently like pecking rice, and Dong Guifei smiled, "If you like it, then my gift can be regarded as the right gift." β
Thinking that Dong Guifei gave me a gift, and it was for Yucheng if I didn't say it, I immediately calmed down, walked to the side of the bookcase and wrote: "Thank you for your love, I don't know if Guifei Niangniang came here today?" "After writing, I gently picked up the rice paper so that the concubine could read the handwriting on it. After experiencing the virtuous concubine just now, this will make me more familiar with entertaining others.
"It's not a big deal, it's just to come here to see you, I remembered when you said this, today a saint said that he wanted to marry you to a certain prince, I don't know if Qingyi has already intended someone?" The concubine asked casually, I know that she is not casual.
What is the person she is referring to? If you simply ask me if I have a sweetheart, then of course I have, but if you ask me which prince I have a crush on, then the answer is not at all, I know that the person who seems to be far away still occupies my whole heart, and I can't move any place to anyone else......
I didn't speak, I didn't write, they quietly looked at my silence, showing a puzzled look, Li Yan looked at me without the slightest reaction, thinking that I was embarrassed, so they rounded the field for me, "Back to Niangniang's words, although Qingyi has been in the palace for a while, but has been living in the Anle Palace, and has never had any intersection with the princes, so he may not be very familiar with it, and he doesn't know much about it." β
"Oh, so that's ......" Guifei Niangniang showed a smile of sudden realization, "The few princes in this palace are all good, but there may not be a few who match Qingyi in age and temper, and they are the five princes of the crown prince Jingye, the second prince Yu Wang Suzheng, the fourth prince Wu Wang Zhonghuan, the sixth prince Qi Wang Rongchen and the seventh prince Ming Wang Yucheng." Moreover, the fourth prince Zhonghuan heard that he had already ordered a family affair, and Qingyi only had the other four princes left. β
Is this already a pre-selected option for me? It's no wonder that both Concubine Xian and Concubine Guifei are here today, because their sons are among the four most suitable candidates for what Concubine Guifei said. I stood by and said nothing. And at this moment, Sheng Yao is also obediently eating dim sum on the side, not noisy or noisy, my eyes are staring at the dregs on his dim sum plate, how much like the unsatisfactory in our life, you always think that you can put life together at once, but whether you bite lightly or eat this food, it will sprinkle a little bit of trouble and make you helpless. What's more, life can be much more complicated than a snack.
I've been staring at Sheng Yao, maybe he is the purest and safest prince at this moment.
"Qingyi?" The concubine saw me distracted, and called softly, I quickly turned my head and smiled apologetically, she didn't mind, and said her original intention amiably.
"I don't know if Qingyi knows anything about my mother's family in the past few years in Chang'an?" The concubine asked.
I nodded, who doesn't know about the Dong clan in Chang'an? The reputation of the two Dong brothers can be described as household names, and the elder brother Dong Shiwen is a civil official who worships the military department and holds one-third of the power in Chang'an. Younger brother Dong Shiwu, the largest salt merchant in Chang'an, holds half of the wealth of Chang'an, these two brothers are not only famous, but also raised children are very good, the eldest daughter of the family is the second only to the queen of the dynasty Dong Guifei, and the eldest son is the famous Hongwu general. There are many talents, and the status of the Dong family in Chang'an is naturally very good.
"It's lucky," Dong Guifei continued, her expression was a little sad: "I can sit in the seat of the concubine today, and I have to thank the blessing of my two children, I gave birth to two children are baby boys, so I have today's stability." Of course, I also hope that my child is the best one, so I have also cultivated the city since I was a child, hoping that one day he can become a person who can be of great use and can bear the responsibility of the world. β
