Although no one in the Xingyong Mansion mentioned the contradictions between them, Mrs. Yan did not let her go over to ask for peace, and did not make things difficult for anyone, and Yan Kaizhi did not go home for dinner for a few days under the pretext of being busy with official business. She waited for him in the house for a long time, and it wasn't until late at night that she knew that Yan Kaizhi had slept in the study.

After three days of avoidance, Shaohua was already tortured very uncomfortable, and he wanted to see him in the study in the past, but Yingjiu stayed outside the door.

"Madam, Master Hou is too tired and has already rested. You should also go back to rest early, it is deeper and heavier, and it is easy to catch a cold. Ying Jiu's words made Shaohua's heart even colder, knowing that Yan Kaizhi was deliberately evading, she didn't even have a chance to apologize.

So you just sent her into the cold palace? Don't stop her, ignore her, and let her fend for herself?

Shaohua stayed in front of the candle all night, and as soon as the morning dawned, Mrs. Yan sent someone to urge her to prepare to enter the palace. Youhan saw that she hadn't slept all night, and her eye sockets were black, so she took hot eggs and rolled them twice before she barely put on makeup. Layer upon layer of heavy auspicious clothes, although she is not a lady now, she may be qualified to enter the palace to marry, and she is not an ordinary person.

Chu He picked out a few sets of the most beautiful and gorgeous clothes for her, and did not forget all kinds of advice, this time only Mama can accompany Shaohua when she enters the palace, and no one else can go with her. Shaohua was still hesitant to wait to see Mrs. Yan, but found that the two were not sitting in the same car.

While she breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, her brows couldn't help but tighten.

"Madam, you are not right in this matter." Mama Rong endured it for a long time before she spoke.

"I know." Shaohua nodded.

"No matter how favored Hou Ye is, he is a man in the end, followed by Hou Ye." Mama Rong looked sad at her, but after all, she didn't nag anymore, and only said: "Although Master Hou and Mrs. Tai didn't care about it this time, I'm afraid Mrs. will have to make other plans for the future." ”

Shaohua opened his eyes abruptly and looked at Mama Rong's calm face, "Did he tell you something?" ”

Mama Rong shook her head, "The old body doesn't know anything, but when this kind of thing happens, no man will feel comfortable in his heart." Even if the Hou Ye did not exert his power, Mrs. should know in her heart that there would be no more grace in the past, if she didn't think carefully, she was afraid that she would have a hard time in this life. Shaohua's face turned white when he heard this, whiter than the fat powder on his face. Anyway, a man's favor is not long-lasting, and the lady should get used to it earlier. ”

Mama Rong is serving in the palace, and the palace is a world where a group of women surround a man, and the favor is cold and cold.

At first, Mama Rong was not optimistic about Shaohua and Yan Kaizhi's intimacy, for her, the higher she held, the heavier she fell. After knowing that this happened, she almost didn't apologize, in her opinion, it was her failure to serve well that allowed it to happen.

Anyway, what she feared most didn't happen, and all that remained was how to solve the future lifestyle.

Won't a man's favor last long? Shaohua lowered his eyes and thought about the people around him, Li Xunzhuo claimed to be extremely fond of the Su family, but he also sent her to Luyang's hometown, no matter how good Li Liangxun was to the Liu family, there were not a few times when she fell behind. Li Sijin's good for Xin Zixuan is well known in the Li family, and even the Liu family can't stand it, but he also has two aunts, as for Xin Maoshan.

Shaohua thought about it and couldn't help but smile bitterly, as if he and Mrs. Xin were as affectionate as ever, if it weren't for the group of aunts in the backyard.

Sure enough, she asked too much for herself, and raised her status too high.

Mama Rong saw that she was silent, and she didn't bother her anymore, Shaohua was a smart lady in her mind, but it was a pity that she was not suitable for living in the backyard of this high gate, and her true nature would be exposed if she was not careful.

Maybe it was Mama Rong's words that played a role, Shaohua who got off the carriage made Mrs. Yan a little surprised, and was carried by Mama Rong to the queen mother's bedroom, there was nothing wrong, but it was really different. Empress Dowager He was in a very good mood, and she was full of praise for Shaohua's changes, and praised Mrs. Yan for her good fortune and marrying such a good daughter-in-law. Seeing that she was calm and elegant, Mrs. Yan also smiled and praised her.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were arranged to go to the place where Mrs. Yan lived before, and Shaohua served Mrs. Yan's daily life before leaving.

Lin looked at Shaohua's changes, and couldn't help but say to Mrs. Yan: "Mrs. Tai, Mrs. seems to have changed. ”

Mrs. Yan was also a little noticed, and the corners of her mouth raised lightly, "It's okay if it changes, there can't be too many people around Hou Ye." Although she was not sure whether Shaohua's behavior was due to her mistakes and her ability to change, or whether she was just in the palace, Mrs. Yan still acquiesced to her such a change.

It's just that Shaohua entered the palace for the third time, and every time she used to be terrified, she didn't know if anything earth-shattering would happen this time.

The dinner party seemed very simple, as the princess's wedding team, the Yan family was the outermost. The closest to Rouwan was naturally the queen and the ladies of the He family, followed by the two daughters-in-law of General Dingguo. Because all the people present were women, and they were also gentle aunts and sisters-in-law, the atmosphere seemed very relaxed, and there was no sense of urgency for the bride to go out.

"Mrs. Xingyonghou, I didn't expect that we would be a family when we met again." At the banquet, the ladies all congratulated Rouwan and Empress Dowager He, and no one noticed Shaohua in a daze at the end of the banquet, and she was also happy with this atmosphere of being ignored.

However, what she couldn't stop was someone deliberately provoking.

Shaohua raised her head, saw Song Yun's beautiful face, and suddenly thought of her marriage to He Zhixiu, the second son of General Dingguo. Counting it as if she and the queen are sisters-in-law, it seems that Shaohua is a little higher in terms of identity, but on this occasion, it is the turn of intimacy, no wonder she looks disdainful when she sees Shaohua. It's just that Shaohua looked at her beauty, and the thick fat powder on her face, and she didn't know what she was deliberately hiding.

Shaohua looked at Mrs. Yan, but she was being pulled by Empress Dowager He to speak, and she had no time to take care of her. I had to face Song Yun hard, "Is there something wrong with Mrs. He?" ”

"It's nothing, you got married not long ago, I didn't go to congratulate you, today's glass of wine is my to make amends." Song Yun raised her head and did it all, which made Shaohua a little surprised, when did she have such a good amount of wine.

"I don't drink." Shaohua suddenly couldn't smell the wine, shook his head and refused.

After Song Yun dried the wine, she was waiting for Shaohua to finish drinking it, so she could find fault with her, but she didn't expect Shaohua to give her a chance at all. "Mrs. Hou is so big, won't you give me this face?" Song Yun's voice became high-pitched, attracting the attention of many people next to her.

Shaohua frowned, for fear of alarming more people, so he had to pick up the wine glass, grit his teeth and swallow it. For a while, her stomach was like a fire, which made her almost vomit, and she was wondering in her heart, she was not bad at drinking, but she felt uncomfortable when she smelled alcohol today.

Song Yun saw her stomach down with a glass of wine, raised her mouth proudly, and added another glass, "This glass of wine is my apology, I didn't know Taishan at the beginning, and I was offended." After saying that, he fell back again, and he didn't even bring anyone to stop him.

Shaohua was really stunned, wondering if Song Yun should want to share a bar with her?

But can she say that there is nothing to offend between them, so can she not drink this cup?

Without waiting for Shaohua to raise a glass, Song Yun filled the third glass, her eyes were confused, and she bent down and whispered to Shaohua: "This glass of wine is considered to be our same journey at the end of the world, and no one is qualified to sit in the position of the princess." Shaohua frowned, she wouldn't drink this glass of wine anyway.

She didn't like the position of the princess, but Song Yun's words seemed to be how fierce they fought for this position.

"Mrs. He, you drank too much, I'll let someone help you go back." Shaohua said calmly.

Song Yun didn't relent, "You drink the wine, I'll go back by myself." ”

Shaohua felt that Song Yun was very ridiculous, the daughter-in-law of a general of Dingguo, the younger brother and sister of the current queen, actually said so boldly in front of so many dignitaries and nobles, as if she was a hero in the green forest.

"I can't drink, when I get better another day, shall I apologize?" That glass of wine was enough to make her uncomfortable, and if she drank two more glasses, she would have to spit it out immediately.

Song Yun was willing to let her go, it seemed that she was pretending to be crazy with wine, and even the people sitting next to her began to persuade her.

Shaohua glanced at Mrs. Yan, as if she was displeased that she was causing trouble in the palace, she pursed her lips, "Mrs. He, I really can't drink, can we solve it in other ways?" ”

When Song Yun heard this, her eyes lit up, and she immediately laughed and stopped making trouble. "That's good, why don't you play the tune again that we tried in the Zhongyi Marquis Mansion." Song Yun said, and someone immediately handed over the pipa, as if he had been waiting for Shaohua's words for a long time.

Shaohua was a famous song in the capital, but no one has ever heard her play it publicly, some people think it is just a false rumor, and some people regret that they don't know when they will be lucky enough to hear it. Empress Dowager He was also attracted by the noise at the end of the banquet, and saw Song Yun standing condescendingly in front of Shaohua, and there was a maid holding a pipa waiting next to her.

"What's going on?" Empress Dowager He asked the people around her.

"Back to the Queen Mother's words, it seems that the second young lady of the Guogong Mansion toasted Mrs. Xingyong Hou, and Mrs. Hou said that she would not drink, so the second young lady asked her to play the pipa as a return gift." The palace maid replied respectfully.

Empress Dowager He also suddenly remembered that she had never heard Shaohua play the pipa with her own ears, and she was bluffed by her last time, but this time she couldn't let her solve it easily, so she immediately followed suit.

"Mrs. Xingyonghou should stop refusing, let the mourning family also feast their ears." Now that Empress Dowager He has spoken, Shaohua is not good to shirk.

When the others heard that Shaohua was going to play the pipa, they all fell silent and waited sideways. Several palace maids hurriedly came out to clean up a vacant space, one brought a Liufu octagonal stool carved from golden silk nanmu, and one stepped forward with a pipa and stood next to Shaohua.

Shaohua glanced at Mrs. Yan, and saw that she nodded almost invisibly, and knew in her heart that she had to show some real skills today, and she couldn't do it as perfunctory as she did at the beginning.

She saluted the Empress Dowager He, and only after sitting down on the stool did she take the pipa.

The pipa is in his arms, like a soldier holding a sword, and the ink artist holding a pen, a feeling of being natural, as if it was originally one.

The fingers plucked the strings, and a shocking sound sounded like a ghostly sound, and everyone sitting listened attentively. Together, the trickle of music is like gurgling water, and without thinking, it has popped out with the movement of the thin fingers. Ten fingers are agile, and her eyes are closed, as if she is playing alone in this world.

The sound of the piano turns a thousand times, or rushes away, or whirls, close your eyes and listen, as if you can see a sword dancer heroic posture, and like a clear sky and clear water mountain waterfall. In the blink of an eye, it was like a fire in July and a cold coat in October, and the sound grabbed the heart.

The tune went fast, and it turned very fast, and that kind of heroic and magnificent feeling was something that most of the ladies of the deep palace present had never experienced, and they were all shocked by the sound of her galloping piano. I'm used to listening to the murmuring tune, like a soft song, and when I hear this tragic melody so closely, my heart also follows Qi Qiran.

"Wu Niang, that's enough." Mrs. Yan herself is also good at pipa, so she naturally knows what this song played by Shaohua is.

While marveling at how she could play this song "Deep Sigh of the White Mountain" so smoothly and skillfully, I was also worried that she would scare Empress Dowager He and others at the end of the song. Shaohua was pulled back to his senses by Mrs. Yan's call, and he was a little surprised, looking at everyone's fascinated expressions, he was secretly glad to have stopped in time.

One of the reasons why this piece is rarely played is that the frenzy at the end of the song is often creepy, even crazy.

It is said that the person who composed this song played the finale and cut off his fingers, and the strings were broken, and everyone was crazy.

But there are still many people who have a deep preference for this song, because whether it is ambition and pride, whether it is a high note or a low walk, it can't be played without amazing skills. It also shows that the person who can play this song has a very high pipa attainment.

Shaohua hurriedly got up to apologize, but he stumbled and almost couldn't stand steadily.

Empress Dowager He deserves to be the person who sits firmly at the head of the harem, she quickly regained her composure, and when she saw Shaohua's face was pale and almost shaky, she immediately called the palace people: "First help Mrs. Xingyong Marquis down to rest." ”
