Chapter 33: Black and White Exquisite
Unconsciously, the snowflakes that hadn't seen enough returned home, and the smell of earthy vanilla slowly wafted out. The spring sun and the winter snow turned into water, washing the whole world clean, to welcome the spring girl's jade hand.
Chai Xuan sat on a small stool and fiddled with the guqin, which was longer than the table, pretending to pluck the strings, and the intermittent sound came from the qin.
Looking at the long piano on the table, Chai Xuan shook her wrist helplessly. said that he really wouldn't die if he didn't die, and casually said that he wanted to learn the piano, but the next day Cao Pi sent someone to send a good piano over. Staring at the strings on the piano, I don't realize that my head is big.
Xiao Man, who came in from outside the door, looked at Chai Xuan's tangled appearance, and pursed his lips, "Noble, this time you will fall into your own pit!" ”
Chai Xuan squinted her apricot eyes, squinted at Xiao Man, who was gloating, and stood up with embarrassment and grimaced at Xiao Man. If you want to say that Xiaoman is really, after following him for so long, he hasn't learned anything good, but he has learned a lot from Chai Xuan.
"But if you want to talk about this piano, the best I have ever heard is played by Mrs. Zhen, and I can't learn it in my life."
Chai Xuan smashed her mouth, turned to her sword stand, and touched the long sword on the stand. It seems that I still have a fate with this thing, and whenever I touch it, it is full of familiarity.
Seeing that Chai Xuan was playing with his sword again, Xiao Man shook his head helplessly, and said half-mockingly: "In that case, why do you have to tell Your Majesty that you want to learn the piano?" Didn't you see that Your Majesty was fascinated by the sound of Li Guiren's piano, and he wouldn't have thought of such an idea! ”
Chai Xuan, who was poked by Xiaoman's words, blushed. The angry white eyes laughed at his Xiaoman, and his expression was a little flustered, "Okay, you Xiaoman, you actually buried me!" Isn't it possible that I have to learn whatever he likes, and you are too exalted to that majesty! This girl still likes to dance swords. ”
With that, Chai Xuan took the sword down. When he looked at it again, Chai Xuan had already rushed outside the house with his sword eyebrows fluttering.
Seeing Chai Xuan walking out with a sword, everyone in Changxuan Palace also surrounded him. It is said that since Cao Pi gave Chai Xuan this sword, she is very happy, even happier than the gold and jade jewelry, and she has to dance in this courtyard every day. Therefore, this daily sword dance has become an indispensable moment of relaxation in Changxuan Palace.
Fortunately, Chai Xuan really had a couple of moments, which attracted everyone's applause every time, and even the little maids in the skulls wanted to come in and take a look.
"Sister Xiaoman, you said that Your Majesty is really a favorite nobleman. You can give whatever you want, and even such a dangerous weapon can be rewarded to the nobles. Yuan Rui looked at Chai Xuan, who was dancing with a sword in the courtyard, turned his head sideways and preached with Xiaoman.
Although this Yuan Rui's words are right, not only Chai Xuan is favored, but even their subordinates, who are waiting, hold their heads high when they go outside. But Xiaoman, who is happy, can't help but be a little worried about Chai Xuan, things must be reversed, Chai Xuan is so favored, don't say that others are red-eyed, even Pan Xue, who has always been with Chai Xuan, is starting to be a little abnormal.
was dancing to the point of high spirits, and a cold hand flew over and suddenly pressed Chai Xuan's shoulder. Chai Xuan was stunned for a moment, and instantly realized who the person behind him was, and swept around beautifully, but was easily dodged by the person behind him.
took a look at the back, but saw Cao Pi standing in front of him with a proud face. With a slight turn of his eyes, Chai Xuan flew out of a smile on his face, raised his eyebrows, and raised his sword again.
At first, Chai Xuan, who was still holding a long sword in his hand, was slightly better, but gradually Cao Pi, who was bare-handed, began to gain the upper hand. With a virtual flash, Cao Pi successfully tricked Chai Xuan's air leak, and with a turn of his wrist, he directly grabbed Chai Xuan's wrist holding the sword, and with a 360-degree rotation, he firmly controlled Chai Xuan's right hand behind her, unable to move.
When everyone saw this, they all applauded.
"Hey, how do you bully people!"
Seeing that all the limelight was snatched away by Cao Pi, the corners of Chai Xuan's mouth couldn't help but be a little angry. struggled to get out of Cao Pi's hands, but he didn't think about it, but he was stopped by Cao Pi and hugged him tighter, raising the corners of his lips, looking at himself triumphantly.
"It's obvious that you are holding a sword against me, a bare-handed person, who is bullying whom!" Cao Pi raised his sword eyebrows, stared dotingly at Chai Xuan, who was annoyed with a small face in front of him, and smiled meaningfully.
Chai Xuan puffed out her cheeks like a catfish, and looked at the handsome face in front of her who was smiling so calmly. I didn't expect that after being an emperor for so long, I haven't become a pampered master, why can't I beat him even if I hold a sword now. It's not scientific, it's really unscientific!
Chai Xuan, who was in a daze, suddenly felt hot in her forehead, and her cheeks were burning as if she had been lit on fire.
Forehead drops, obedient! This guy actually kissed himself in front of so many people!
The sudden show of affection, the people around Zero were all red and stunned, and they quickly buried their heads in embarrassment, and hurriedly what to do.
Chai Xuan, who was dazed, pushed Cao Pi away, and almost fell back due to too much force, but fortunately Cao Pi pulled him tightly.
"Xuan'er, be careful!" Cao Pi said with a smile.
"Humph!"
Looking at Cao Pi's smug appearance, Chai Xuan tilted her head and grimaced at him. He snorted from his nose like a coquettish, withdrew his sword and turned to walk away from the house.
Looking at Chai Xuan's reluctant little expression, Cao Pi shook his head helplessly with a smile. This girl really will never give herself face. Obviously, she won by herself, but it was as if she had won.
Cao Pi put his arms behind his back, straightened his waist, and had to support some face, so he pretended to be calm and re-entered the house. looked around, but saw that he was carefully putting the sword on the shelf.
"Your Majesty, why don't you go to watch the dance of the Yin nobles today, or listen to the sound of Li Guiren's piano. It's just going to come and ruin my fun. Chai Xuan looked away with a jealous face, and didn't look at Cao Pi. Wu turned around and fell to his seat, picking up the teapot and filling the empty cup in front of him.
Look, Chai Xuan's face was not angry. Where is this to blame him for ruining his fun, I'm afraid that he dislikes him and went to Li Guiren that day.
Cao Pi glanced at Chai Xuan, pursed his lips, and pretended to turn around in front of the hall helplessly, "Oh, what's the weather today, why is it raining on me on a sunny day." It's really unfair, it's unfair~"
Chai Xuan, who was deliberately funny and had a long voice, secretly had a good time, and instantly turned his face back, pretending to be calm: "What is not raining, I don't understand!" ”
"You see, it's not fair. Don't you often say I don't understand! Cao Pi smiled mischievously and sat next to Chai Xuan. Looking at the person in front of him, Wen Wen said, "Xuan'er, are you jealous of Yin Guiren and Li Guiren?" ”
Staring at the face in front of him that was getting closer and closer, Chai Xuan raised his hand and pushed Cao Pi away with a palm, and stood up in a panic, "Cai, no, I made you amorous!" ”
Looking at Chai Xuan's panicked face, Cao Pi smiled faintly, pulled Qi back again, and said, "Okay, Xuan'er, I have something to discuss with you." ”
"Discussion, what's the matter?" Chai Xuan's face was slightly constricted, and she turned around and sat down.
I saw Cao Pi, handing Chai Xuan the cup of tea that Chai Xuan had just poured to Chai Xuan, and said.
"Spring Hunting!"
Black and white exquisitely square inches, thousands of thoughts in the game, one thought of an inch, one after the other, all scheming.
"Sister, these days, chess skills have regressed a lot!" Xu Ji propped up her eyebrows, squinted at her phoenix eyes, and looked at Pan Xue who was frowning on the other side. The look of his distraction was obviously not taking the chess game in front of him to heart.
Pan Xue looked helplessly at the predicament, put the chess pieces in his hand back into the chess box, and said politely. "Where, my sister's chess skills are so good, my sister is beyond her reach!"
Xu Ji looked at the absent-minded Pan Xue heavily, and raised her wrist. Xiaohong nodded and stepped forward, took away the expectations in front of her, and replaced them with two cups of tea.
"Sister's heart, is it still hanging in Changxuan Palace?" Xu Ji hooked her red lips and smiled slightly, glancing at Pan Xue, who was lost in her soul. Even if she doesn't have to ask, she knows what is going on in her mind.
In the past few months, Cao Pi has been to Changxuan Palace for almost two-thirds of the time, and for a third of the time, he has also stayed most of his time in Changfeng Palace, Changyu Palace and Changxi Palace. And Changyu Palace and Changxi Palace are the places of Yin nobles and Li nobles. As for Pan Xue's Changshu Palace, I'm afraid it's just a few times!
"What is my sister doing here, my sister's hope now is all in my sister's place, and it's like doing something." Butterfly's eyes were slightly gloomy, cold as if they were full of cold ice, "Sister, I heard that Your Majesty gave the prince of Li the prince of Qin to Jingzhao County as a fief. ”
Mentioning this, Xu Ji immediately frowned, "Yes, and although there is a fief, His Majesty still allows Li'er to stay by his side." Thanks to her sister's good strategy, Li'er not only got the attention of His Majesty, but also the joy of the Queen Mother. ”
Coldly glancing at Xu Ji, who was overjoyed, Pan Xue smiled disdainfully. If it weren't for the fact that his son was still young, he wouldn't have made Xu Ji so proud.
"Where, it is also thanks to the wisdom of the prince." Pan Xue flattered, but her heart was full of contempt.
Listening to Pan Xue's praise, Xu Ji responded with a smile: "Yes, too." ”
"Sister, what should I do next, I don't need my sister to remind me!" The cold eyes looked at Xu Ji slightly, but the smile on the corner of Pan Xue's mouth was oozing with a hint of coldness.
After hearing Pan Xue's words, the smile on Xu Ji's face suddenly froze. frowned between his eyebrows, and his expression began to panic again. "But, sister! That Zhen Mi is no longer favored, why should we ......"
Regarding Pan Xue's previous suggestion, Xu Ji thought about it for a long time. thought that if it weren't for Zhen Mi, she and her son Bacheng would have been forgotten by Cao Pi, how could they still be in today's situation. Although I am impulsive in my daily words, I am still a little timid in my heart.
"Sister, no matter how Zhen Mi is, she is also His Majesty's wife, as long as she is in one day, the Manchu Dynasty and the hearts of the people in the world will stand by her side. Nor will the latter fall into the hands of others. The position of the noble concubine is second only to the deputy queen. If it weren't for the Queen Mother's insistence on letting Her Majesty make Zhen Mi the queen, I am afraid that Her Majesty would not have touched the ashes on that face. So, sister. If you want to achieve great things, you can't be soft-hearted! ”
The coldness in Pan Xue's eyes began to seep into Xu Ji's heart little by little. Now Cao Li's limelight seems to be more prosperous than Cao Ei's, and Cao Li's daily performance is also praised by Cao Pi. This also makes himself, who has never been taken seriously, begin to have proud capital in front of others.
Even the nobles who have always relied on His Majesty's favor and ignored everything began to smile at themselves. Although this has a certain relationship with the re-distribution of favors, it is also inseparable from Cao Li's current value.
The bituminous coal frowned, and Xu Ji stared in contemplation for a long time. Unconsciously raised her eyes to look at Pan Xue with a solemn face, and nodded in her heart.
