Chapter 10, it seems that the dust has just settled

It was dark.

The clouds swept so fast that they were caught in the whirlwind that came from there, and in the blink of an eye the whole sky blackened. At first, it seemed to be a light from the bottom of the sea, and then there was a dull sound of drums in the distance, and after several consecutive bursts, suddenly a silver light flashed in front of his eyes again, and the dizzy man could not open his eyes.

The light flashed, and before he could take a breath, the dull rumble from before exploded overhead. Everyone shuddered and shrank back.

In the distance, a few silver lightning bolts slid by, but the sky full of dark clouds seemed to be torn open, and the pouring rain poured down, and the scene in front of him seemed to be covered by something, Rao opened his eyes wide, but he still couldn't see clearly. The rain hit the ground with a sound like fried beans. The ground was paved with bluestone slabs, and the water did not have time to drain out, and it accumulated too much on the ground, and it was blown by the wind, but it was like a wave with white lines.

Another blast of thunder exploded overhead, and the sound shook people's eardrums with a faint pain. Accompanied by the thunder, the silver lightning bolt came out happily...... Like silver snakes swimming in the sky.

The water on the eaves flows down the glazed tiles, and countless water columns converge together, but they seem to be tiny waterfalls. In this kind of rain, let alone an umbrella, even standing in front of the unclosed window, the clothes on my body were immediately wet.

Even far away, the wind can blow the cold rain on people's bodies, splashing a little bit of wetness.

No one wants to walk outside, but there are still those who have to go...... The rain came in a hurry, and there was no call in advance, so when it got down, he soaked all the clothes of the passers-by.

There are no exceptions.

Xiao Xiang half-leaned against the window and stretched out his hand...... The white rain wet her sleeves, and a large piece of clothing in front of her was also soaked. She didn't care, a little rain can't kill people, but it can make people's minds sober and sober.

Li Ke has not come to her again in the past few days, and her attitude on that day made Li Ke desperate...... I only hope that Li Ke is not the kind of person who hates because of love. It's just that I've been worried in my heart, who is the black shadow of that day?

To say that she is not afraid, it is impossible.

In case Li Shimin knew about this, he was afraid that the royal family would cause some scandal, so marrying himself far away or sending Li Ke away was not something she wanted to see.

I have been troubled in my heart, and I have not stopped for three days.

"Princess?" Xi Xi's voice suddenly sounded in the back of his head, which really startled Xiao Xiang.

She turned her head and wrote a little displeasure between her eyebrows: "Why are you so loud?" ”

Xi Xi hurriedly knelt down and explained softly: "The slave and maid just called you several times, but you didn't hear it, so it's ......."

Xiao Xiang waved his hand, forcibly suppressed the boredom in his heart, and said, "Okay, okay, what's the matter?" ”

"It's Xu Chongrong, she's waiting for you in the flower hall."

Xu Chongrong? Xu Hui?

Xiao Xiang's mind floated with a smiling face, frowning slightly, what is she going to do?

Although she had doubts in her heart, she still got up, called Xi Xi to change into civilian clothes for herself, and turned around and went to the flower hall. Xu Huizheng took the incense slices lightly, and when she saw Xiao Xiang come out, a smile flashed in her eyes.

Xiao Xiang glanced at her from the corner of his eyes, and saw that she was dressed in a plain palace dress, with a little fat powder, only a jasper plum hairpin was obliquely inserted into her hairline, and a pair of single pearl earrings were decorated on her ears. She thought that this Xu Hui, like everyone else, was here to "congratulate" herself. But looking at it, Xu Hui almost didn't bring any gifts, only put something like a picture scroll on the desk on the side.

It's not like any other concubine.

Xiao Xiang's heart was even more puzzled, what did she do at the bottom?

Just thinking about it, I heard Xu Hui speak: "It's cold, it's better for the princess to wear more." Her voice was as gentle as water, and it was very comfortable to listen to.

Xiao Xiang nodded, his eyes turned on her, and he decided not to make any detours. A smile tugged at the corner of her lips, and she said, "Why did you come to me today?" ”

Xu Hui smiled more and more gently, gently put the bowl in his hand aside, pressed his lips with a handkerchief, and said lightly: "The triennial general election for musicians to enter the palace will be held next month. She paused slightly, "I just came from the emperor." The emperor's intention was to hope that the princess and I could come in person and decide on the two musicians who would enter the palace this time. ”

Xiao Xiang was stunned for a moment, the general election for Leqi to enter the palace?

Isn't that similar to a modern promotion exam? Where is she qualified to give these ancients exams? Although she has also studied guqin in modern times, she has obtained a grade 10 qualification certificate. But that's nothing, she has heard the sound of these Tang people's pianos, and the realm of the unity of the qin and people is something she can't reach, where can she be an examiner?

Xu Hui seemed to see her thoughts, and said with a smile: "Those trivial matters, we don't need to worry about the two of us, all we have to do is to select two of the four finalists." Those who have entered the last level are not much worse in terms of piano skills. ”

I see.

It's just that Xiao Xiang still doesn't understand why Li Shimin would leave this matter to her.

Xu Hui coughed lightly twice, and wiped his lips with a handkerchief: "Princess, can you take some cinnamon from the backyard of the Manna Hall and give it to me?" Although she said it to Xiao Xiang, her eyes looked at Xi Xi.

Xiao Xiang didn't react at first, Xu Hui's residence also has dangui, what does she want from herself? But in an instant, she knew that Xu Hui just wanted to break up everyone and say something to herself.

She nodded, and ordered Xi Xi to lead Xu Hui's maid to the backyard to fetch some.

When the backs of the two disappeared, Xu Hui turned his head and looked at Xiao Xiang with a smile: "The princess is really ice and snow smart." ”

Xiao Xiang raised his eyebrows lightly: "What's the matter with the Niangniang?" ”

"No matter what, I want her to enter the palace." Xu Hui handed the portrait in his hand to Xiao Xiang. The portrait is extremely exquisite, with silk as the base, which is different from ordinary portraits...... But it is a white drawing, and the person in the painting tilts his face slightly and shows a smile. The smile was only superficial, and it looked a little cold. This person Xiao Xiang is very familiar with, it is the fallen sky Xun Yeyu who met in Pingkangfang that day.

She couldn't help but look up at Xu Hui in surprise, this Xun Yeyu actually had something to do with Xu Hui?

"Why?" She quickly calculated in her heart, but she couldn't figure it out. The debate machine solved the Gu for himself, and the debate machine was recommended by Xun Yeyu...... So, can she deduce that this Gu ...... Did Xu Hui give it to himself?

Her eyes immediately became a little more thoughtful.

Xu Hui saw that she didn't say anything for a long time, but she wasn't in a hurry, she just sat on the side with a smile, as if she was confident.

The more she looks like this, the more suspicious Xiao Xiang becomes. His eyes kept looking at Xu Hui, but he still couldn't see anything. I can't help but be more irritated at the bottom of my heart, she is a Capricorn, and once she encounters something she can't grasp, she will be a little upset. In addition, it is not very smooth in the first place, which will be even more restless.

She was silent for a moment, and finally asked, "Why?" ”

------------------------

"Hahahaha...... You're all dead! "The man who had been beaten just now had already rushed over with the group of evil servants, and the teeth that stood in front of him in his open mouth were gone, and it became a hole dripping with black blood. He laughed, his expression distorted: "Speaking out scares you to death, my father is a festival envoy, if you provoke me, you will provoke the court, you, you, all, will, die!" ”

"Hey!" Peng suddenly spoke: "You will be so ugly when you talk in the future......"

"Huh...... Don't be so unreasonable to a toothless old man. Light stopped him with a smile.

Tsukizome and I were amused by his statement, and the other party was so angry that he jumped up and scolded him wildly, but he didn't dare to approach, but just surrounded the four of us in the middle, and threw some drinking utensils and food utensils from time to time, which were shot down by Hikari and Peng one by one.
