Jiang Cailing pretended to be puzzled and said, "All kinds of things happened in the Ten Princes' Mansion, how can Miss Wu know better than this concubine, isn't it because Miss Wu is so interested in this matter because the Ten Princes are so concerned?" Concubine Ben didn't mind that Miss Wu would marry into the mansion as a side concubine. ”

When Wu Xiaoyao heard this, her face changed, how could she be willing to be a little concubine, the person she wanted to marry was the prince's brother, and she was destined to become the princess. The beautiful eyes immediately looked at Luan Wenzhi, for fear that he would believe this, so she hurriedly explained, "The tenth princess said that she laughed, Yao'er only has the prince's brother in her heart. ”

"Ten brothers and sisters, don't make fun of Yao'er!" Luan Wenzhi smiled gently, resolving the embarrassment of the scene, his eyes saw a beautiful woman in pink brocade standing behind Su Qingcheng, and said with a smile, "The girl behind her must be Mrs. Du in the Tenth Brother's Mansion." ”

Du Nianyu didn't have too much expression on her face, and she couldn't find anything wrong with her every move, so she said, "Back to the prince, the concubine is exact." ”

Wu Xiaoyao on the side heard this, her eyes wandered among Jiang, Su and Du, and she thought about it, her beautiful eyes flashed with banter, and she said with a smile: "The Ten Imperial Concubines and Madame Du are hot and bright and the other is quiet and delicate, and the Ten Princes are really blessed by all people." ”

Hearing this, Su Qingcheng's peach blossom eyes flashed with a smile, like the lips of the peach petals in March, slightly raised, like a ten-mile spring breeze bath, which made Wu Xiaoyao couldn't help but breathe and suffocated, almost forgetting her plan just now.

"The queen mother likes to listen to small songs the most, and the ten princesses know at a glance that she is a woman who is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, why don't we play a song "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix" together, maybe the queen mother will be happy that Yao'er can still ask for some rewards?" Wu Xiaoyao smiled playfully, looking innocent, no matter who looks at it, it is harmless, so that people have no excuse to refuse.

Wu Xiaoyao's piano skills are unmatched in Nan'an City, and she just wants to make a fool of herself.

Jiang Cailing's piano skills are not bad, but she is not ready to be in the limelight, and glanced at Du Nianyu sideways. As the former queen of Emperor Zhaohong, Du Nianyu plays the piano well, and even the first pianist will say that the blue is better than the blue.

It is also very important for women to have a good reputation, if Du Nianyu can be famous in Nan'an, it will be a good thing for the three of them, firstly, Su Qingcheng will naturally be happy in his heart, and he will not be as difficult for her in the future as yesterday, and secondly, Du Nianyu should also be able to understand that he is not her enemy, and he will not secretly make a stumbling block against her because of the taste in his heart.

Thinking of this, Jiang Cailing smiled with red lips, and rubbed her shoulders and waist with a pretended sore feeling. Yu said, "I hope the queen will forgive me, Yunyang is now like a broken shelf, and his fingers don't need strength at all, so it's better for Mrs. Du to play a song for Yunyang and Miss Wu." ”

Concubine Lian covered her lips and smiled, and said to Empress Chu, "What the county lord of Yunyang said is true, not to mention that she has a first taste of personnel, even if the concubine is now favored by her, sometimes she will not be able to exert her strength." Queen, you are also from the past, I believe you can also understand! ”

Everyone inside and outside the palace knows that Emperor Chu rarely goes to the Chu harem now, and even if he goes, he will leave after a visit, and he will not stay overnight at all. Concubine Lian's words were undoubtedly full of irony in everyone's ears.

"Of course the queen understands the county lord." Empress Chu smiled gracefully and gently pulled Luan Wenzhi on the side, "Wen Zhi is good at the cave flute, why don't you three play a song together." ”

One shows off his grace, the other shows off his son, and they all say that a woman plays a play, in Jiang Cailing's opinion, just the words and swords of the two women, Empress Chu and Concubine Lian, are very exciting.

Wu Xiaoyao agreed after seeing Chu, so she didn't say anything more. As the eunuch brought the piano up, Du and Wu sat in front of the piano, Luan Wenzhi stood on the side of the column, the warm sound of the piano was accompanied by the clear sound of Xiao, the song was like crying, such as complaining, like resentment, as if in front of everyone's eyes really saw the scene of the Phoenix World traveling.

The phoenix returns to his hometown and travels all over the world to seek his phoenix.

Just when the playing reached the climax, as the rhythm of the song accelerated, especially the test of the performer's skills, everyone was intoxicated with their eyes closed, but Jiang Cailing opened her eyes and fixed her gaze on Du Nianyu.

Wrong!

Maybe others can't hear it, but Jiang Cailing heard the clues because she was familiar with Du Nianyu's piano sound. Playing the piano is like being a person, Linglong is a person with a very stable temperament, so the sound of the piano has always been steady, but there is obviously trembling from the performance just now.

Just when Jiang Cailing wanted to observe more carefully, the last scale landed, and at the end of the song, everyone applauded.

Concubine Lian smiled leisurely, "This Mrs. Du plays the piano well, not only is she not inferior to Yao'er, but she is also a little more proficient." ”

"The concubine is terrified." Du Nianyu put his hands back into the sleeve cage, his face was much paler than just now, but he still forced a smile, and no one present except Jiang Cailing and Su Qingcheng noticed that something was wrong. Su Qingcheng knew that Du Nianyu's body had always been weak, and he was worried in his heart, so he looked for an excuse and hurriedly retired.

Walking out of the palace gate, Su Qingcheng looked at the two sedan chairs in front of the horse monument, and his eyes were full of worry. When he came, he rode a horse, Jiang Cailing rode a gold silk soft sedan chair made by Xie Hou Chongjin, and Du Nianyu sat in an ordinary sedan chair.

The terrain of Nan'an City is not as good as Luoyang's Yima Pingchuan, there will always be a lot of slopes, looking at Du Nianyu's weak appearance of enduring the sore spot, Su Qingcheng said to Jiang Cailing with side eyes, "Nianyu is uncomfortable, you change the sedan chair with her." ”

Jiang Cailing raised her eyebrows, "Are you Chu people all so commanding to ask for help?" ”

Su Qingcheng frowned, and said in a deep voice: "He Ling'er, don't be too presumptuous!" ”

Jiang Cailing ignored Su Qingcheng, turned around and strode towards the golden silk soft sedan chair, silently counting in her heart.

Three, two, one!

Sure enough, someone's awkward voice came from behind him, "Lord Yunyang, this prince asks you to change the sedan chair with Nianyu, is it okay?" ”

If Su Qingcheng could talk to himself well at the beginning, changing the sedan chair would not be a big deal. It's just that just now Jiang Cailing suddenly remembered that the medicine she was carrying with her had run out and needed to be reconfigured, so she had to go to the pharmacy to grab some Chinese medicine.

However, she came out in a hurry today, and she did not have any silver with her.

turned around, stretched out his right hand and put it in front of Su Qingcheng's eyes, and smiled leisurely, "I'm going to go shopping on the street, but unfortunately I didn't bring silver taels." If I couldn't go shopping, I had to go back in my comfortable gold silk soft sedan chair. ”

It was noon, the sun was shining on the face of the woman opposite, a pair of apricot eyes were full of scoundrels and cunning, and there seemed to be a childlike smile on the lips.

Su Qingcheng has seen her appearance when she is cold and alienated, and he has also seen her calculating appearance step by step, but he has never seen the childish appearance of a scoundrel at this time. After being slightly stunned, he took out a silver ticket of one hundred taels from his sleeve cage and put it in the hands of the woman opposite, and then surrounded Du Nianyu and got on the golden silk soft sedan chair.

Jiang Cailing took He Xiaoxiao to a nearby pharmacy after collecting the silver ticket, and when she walked out of the pharmacy, Jiang Cailing suddenly met a very familiar man.

The golden forehead is matched with a gilt folding fan, and it is difficult to recognize it even if you want to recognize it.

Obviously, Liu Minglou also saw Jiang Cailing from a distance, his grape-like eyes were stained with a layer of doubt, he walked in front of Jiang Cailing, and said tentatively: "Miss He?"

"Boss Liu, by coincidence, I met in Nan'an City." Jiang Cailing's smile was a little genuine, he hadn't seen it since he helped him out of the siege last time.

"The people of the whole city know that Miss He has to pray for her ancestors, so her marriage with Gu Xiang has been postponed for a year, but why are you in Nan'an?"

"This matter is a long story, by the way, you came to Chu State this time to buy goods?"

Liu Minglou's eyes flashed, "This matter is also a long story." ”

Neither of them had lunch, so they found a restaurant to eat something, and learned that Liu Minglou would stay in Nan'an for a long time this time, Jiang Cailing's mind couldn't help but flash the pair of goshawk-like sharp eyes, and blurted out: "Your departure from Luoyang won't have something to do with Li Yan, right?" ”

"Do you recognize him?" Liu Minglou's big grape-like eyes widened in surprise.

"I recognize him, he's the one who looked for you before." Thinking that when he first saw Liu Minglou, his Treasure House was buying shoddy fakes, Jiang Cailing guessed that Xu Liyanxu was looking for Liu Minglou to settle accounts because he bought fakes.

"Anyway...... I don't want to see him, and if Miss He sees him again in the future, I can't say that I have seen me here. By the way, I opened a shop in the south of the city called Qianyan Pavilion, the rouge gouache is all sharp goods, Miss He can come over to take a look when she is free, it seems that the face of acquaintances can be wiped on your face. ”

Looking at the shrewdness in Liu Minglou's eyes, it completely overlapped with the image of the unprofitable businessman in his previous impression, and that sense of familiarity made Jiang Cailing raise her lips and smile, "Sure enough, it's Boss Liu!" ”

After the two parted, Jiang Cailing returned to the Ten Princes' Mansion, and as soon as she passed through the gate, Jiang Cailing noticed the disgusted gaze cast by the guards towards her, and most of the maids who saw her along the way also had such expressions.

Jiang Cailing bared her teeth at He Xiaoxiao: "Are there vegetable leaves sticking to my teeth, why do you look at me like I have seen a plague god one by one?" ”

He Xiaoxiao shook her head, also puzzled.

When I returned to the courtyard, as soon as I entered the door, I saw Rouge standing in the shadow under the tree, and when I saw Jiang Cailing coming back, I hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Imperial Princess, I am waiting for you in the house, I look very angry." ”

Jiang Cailing's willow eyebrows frowned slightly, could it be that Su Qingcheng was angry that she had deceived him for a hundred taels of silver tickets, "Do you know why?" ”

Rouge looked hesitant, and finally opened her lips and whispered, "I heard that the tips of Mrs. Du's fingers were burned by hot water...... Ye suspected that it was caused by Mrs. Du's tea ceremony in the morning. ”

Reminiscent of Du Nianyu's unstable tone when she played the piano in the main hall, Jiang Cailing narrowed her eyes, lifted the curtain and strode in.

If this hand is injured, I will see a doctor, and let her take the blame, but she will not do it.

As soon as the curtain was lifted, a jade cup hit Jiang Cailing's face, and He Xiaoxiao quickly swung his sword to knock off the jade cup.

The jade cup fell to the ground, making a crisp sound, and Jiang Cailing raised her eyes to see Su Qingcheng with an angry face.

Su Qingcheng walked up to Jiang Cailing, clasped her chin with one hand, and said coldly, "I was still thinking before, how could you be so kind to let Nianyu show her talent in the main hall today, it turned out that it was all done by you, a vicious woman." First deliberately burned her fingers, and then let her pluck the strings! ”
