Chapter 144: Choose the best words to say
Seeing Shen Changge looking ahead in a daze, Mo Chu asked suspiciously, "Your Highness, what's wrong?" ”
Retracting his gaze, Shen Changge didn't answer and asked, "Have you seen the appearance of the person who bumped into you just now?" ”
Mo Chu shook his head: "My subordinates didn't see it." Your Highness, is there anything wrong with that man? But do you want to go down and arrest that man? ”
Shen Changge turned his head again and looked behind him, but there was no trace of the man there.
"It's nothing, maybe I'm wrong. Let's go back. ”
"Yes." Mo Chu answered, but there was a little doubt in his heart.
Your Highness, what's the matter? Is there really something wrong with that person?
……
Back at the palace, Shen Changge did not go back to the East Palace directly, but took a detour to Shouyang Hall to see if Shen Yiqing was still there.
Just like last time, she pounced again, and in desperation, she had to return to the East Palace accompanied by Mo Chu.
Passing by the pond where she had last met her, she heard her playing the piano again.
She wanted to go over and take a look, but remembering what Xiao Shunzi had said to herself before, she dismissed this thought.
And just as she was about to make a detour to leave, she suddenly heard a familiar voice coming.
"I haven't heard Concubine Li play the piano for a long time, and I really miss it."
The emperor is also there?
Shen Changge raised his eyebrows slightly.
According to the development of the situation, will Concubine Li regain the favor of the emperor?
She really wanted to go up and see what was going on.
Thinking so, she followed the sound.
I saw that in the pavilion, Shen De was sitting at the stone table, with his eyes closed, looking like he was enjoying himself, quietly listening to Concubine Li playing the piano.
And Concubine Li focused on stroking the qin, looking up at Shen De from time to time, with a little shyness on her face.
Shen Changge did not step forward immediately, for fear of disturbing the emperor's Yaxing.
After a song, she walked over.
"Erchen has seen his father."
Hearing the voice, Shen De opened his eyes and saw that it was her, and the expression on his face became lazy again.
"It turned out to be the crown prince, so let's be polite."
"Thank you, Father." Straightening up, Shen Changge looked at Concubine Li again, "Concubine Li is polite." ”
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is polite." Concubine Li also got up and bowed slightly at her, looking at her with a little obscurity in her eyes.
Shen Changge didn't look at her anymore, and his eyes fell on Shen De's body: "Why is my father so Yaxing today, listening to Concubine Li playing the piano here?" ”
Shen De took a sip of the teacup and said slowly: "I was walking casually, but when I heard the sound of the piano, I walked over, only to find out that it was Concubine Li. ”
"I see." Shen Changge suddenly said, "Erchen was just passing by here, and when he saw his father, he came to greet his father. If the father has no other instructions, the sons will not disturb the father Yaxing. ”
As soon as her words fell, Concubine Li's eyes looked at her, and she unconsciously became a trace of eagerness, and her red lips opened slightly, as if she wanted to speak.
But the words that came to his mouth were not spoken after all, and his expression was always calm and light, and he sat quietly beside him.
"It's okay, since you're here, sit down and talk to me for a while." Shen De pointed to the stone bench next to him and motioned for her to sit down.
Shen Changge was helpless, so she had to sit down, but she didn't feel that she had anything to say to him.
"The prince has been studying in Tai Academy recently, how is he studying?" Shen De asked casually.
Shen Changge was a little speechless, making her feel as if she had been lectured by the teaching director when she was in school before.
Although she was a little helpless in her heart, she still answered the emperor's question honestly.
There is nothing special about it, but it also makes the emperor unable to find fault.
After listening to her answer, Shen De bowed slightly and advised: "You are the prince, you must lead by example, study diligently, and don't be lazy and slack." ”
"Yes, the retainers have all remembered." She answered obediently, sighing silently in her heart.
I'm so tired, I don't want to be this prince, is it swollen?
At this time, Concubine Li said loudly: "Your Majesty, why don't you play the piano for the emperor again?" ”
"I may not have heard you play the piano for a long time, so I'll play another song." Shen De nodded and said, "It just so happens that the prince is here, let the prince listen." ”
"The concubine obeys."
Li Concubine answered, and her slender fingers began to pluck the strings, and the melodious melody instantly flowed from under her fingers and lingered throughout the gazebo.
Until Concubine Li stopped stroking the qin, the melodious sound of the piano seemed to have not dispersed for a long time.
There was a moment of silence in the pavilion, and after a while, Shen De said loudly: "In the harem, only Concubine Li has the best piano skills. ”
This evaluation is really highly praised.
Even the concubine Li, who did not fight or rob, showed a happy smile after hearing the emperor's words, and hurriedly bowed and said, "Concubine, thank you for the emperor's praise." ”
Shen De waved his hand to signal her to sit down, and his eyes turned to look at Shen Changge: "What does the prince think of Concubine Li's play just now?" ”
Is this testing her, or is it a casual question?
Shen Changge was a little confused, thought about it, and said: "Erchen is not good at music, I just think that Concubine Li's song is like a clear spring in a mountain stream, melodious into the ears, and the aftersound is lingering, winding around the beam." ”
She really doesn't understand the rhythm of music, but she knows one thing, since the emperor also said that Concubine Li's piano skills are the best in the harem, then she is right to pick up good ones.
What's more, Li Concubine does play the piano well.
Hearing her words, Shen De shook his head and said, "You are smart, choose good things to say." ”
Shen Changge said solemnly: "These words are all from the heart of the minister, and they are by no means perfunctory. ”
"Okay, I still don't understand your thoughts? Are you just afraid that I will say that you don't know anything if you don't learn anything? Shen De said, "Everyone is not good at it, you don't know the rhythm, and I won't force you to learn." ”
Shen Changge wanted to tell him very much, she was really afraid that he would let her learn.
She now feels that she is busy enough every day, and she has no way to learn anything else without three heads and six arms.
But after hearing his words, her hanging heart could finally be put down.
She pulled the corners of her mouth and sneered: "I really can't hide anything from my father." ”
Shen De was angry and funny, and said, "Okay, I'm tired." Concubine Li, I will dine in your palace tonight. ”
Concubine Li's face had a shy look on her face, and she responded: "Yes, the concubine will go and prepare." ”
But in my heart, there is a kind of emotion that I can't say whether it should be joy or sorrow.
Seeing that the emperor got up and was about to leave, Shen Changge hurriedly bowed his hand and said, "Erchen respectfully sends his father to the emperor." ”
When the two of them came out of the pavilion together, she straightened up and looked at the figure that was gradually moving away.
The emperor went to Li Concubine's Zihui Palace, and it seems that he will definitely stay there tonight, and after today, it is estimated that Li Concubine will be favored by the emperor again.
She has met Li Concubine a few times, and she can be regarded as a little friendship.
Seeing that Concubine Li could regain the emperor's favor, she was also happy for Concubine Li from the bottom of her heart.
It's just that if you get this favor from the emperor, you will inevitably pay some price.
I hope Concubine Li can do well.
Thinking like this, she called Shang Mochu and left the pavilion as well.
