Chapter 417: The Soul Returns
Out of the palace, Lin Xin'er sat in a sedan chair waiting at the door and walked slowly in the direction of Jinyang Palace.
Lin Xin'er was going to Jinyang Palace to play the piano, which made people look like she was trying to please the emperor, and this sedan chair from Yunxiao Garden was also very similar to the situation when the owner here was picked up by someone after being flopped by the emperor that day.
Lin Xin'er also knew that she didn't just go to play the piano this time.
Ximen Jinglie took off his dragon robe, wore loose casual clothes, leaned on the soft couch, and stared at the piano placed in the corner of the wall.
Lacking the usual majesty, his eyes are mixed with complicated feelings, and he seems to drift to a far place.
According to the time, Lin Xin'er was supposed to come, but the eunuch who went to pick up the person came back and said that she had a leg disease and was dealing with it, and she would come later.
Ximen Jinglie did not change his mind, and decided to wait, tonight, that is, before Lin Xin'er was going to the northern Xinjiang, he must listen to her play the piano once, that is, the piano that has not been played for a long time, and he wants to let it sound again.
He wanted to pursue the lost figure, and realize this wish that had been condensed in his heart for a long time before Lin Xin'er went to the northern frontier.
He believed that Lin Xin'er was suitable for playing that piano.
Finally, Xiao Guizi's voice came, saying that Lin Xin'er had arrived.
Ximen Jinglie leaned on the soft couch and raised his hand lazily.
Xiao Guizi retreated, invited Lin Xin'er into Jinyang Palace, brought her to the emperor, and then retreated obediently.
"Xin'er see the emperor." Lin Xin'er bowed down to Ximen Jinglie in a regular manner.
"Excuse me." Without waiting for Lin Xin'er to really kneel, Ximen Jinglie waved his hand, "Your leg disease has just been committed, so you don't have to be formal." ”
"Your Majesty." Lin Xin'er straightened up.
"Qin is there, play a song of spring flowers and autumn moon for me." Ximen Jinglie pointed to the piano in the corner of the wall.
"Yes." Lin Xin'er bowed her head and walked towards the qin.
This was the first time she had entered the inner bedroom of Jinyang Palace, and she didn't want to have an old piano left.
Walking to the piano and sitting down, Lin Xin'er picked up her fingertips and slid on the strings, the sound of the piano was a little dull, and it seemed that no one had played it for a long time.
Following the tentative piano sound, Ximen Jinglie's gaze also sank.
Time flies, the old man is not there, things are not people, and this piano can't play as beautiful sound as before?
Lin Xin'er's dexterous fingers plucked the strings, and the sound of the piano gradually returned to normal at her fingertips, as if she had found a new owner in a moment, and began to emit a pleasant tone again.
Spring flowers and autumn moons, originally two beautiful scenes, carry unforgettable memories.
Ximen Jinglie leaned on the soft couch, squinted his eyes and listened to the familiar music, and in a trance, the shadow of many years ago seemed to appear in front of him.
The two bodies are nestled together in the blooming flowers of spring, under the brightest full moon, looking up at the night sky, and the brilliant stars are dazzling......
It's his favorite tune.
Someone had played it in front of him, including Ximenyin, but none of them brought him to the same mood.
Only this time......
Ximen Jinglie stared at Lin Xin'er, his head lowered, his long hair floated down at will, half covered and half blocked, his hands plucked the strings freely, and his whole figure was shrouded in candlelight, casting dark marks on the wall.
Ximen Jinglie seemed to see that it was "her" who came back, and couldn't help but stand up and walk towards the person playing the piano.
Lin Xin'er didn't look up, her eyes were always on the strings.
She believed in the piano skills passed down from the master, so she specially arranged for a musician from the country to enter the palace to perform, and provoked by the way, in order to give the lame girl who "unintentionally" followed the master into the palace a chance to get ahead.
Although the musician is very famous in the subject country, he is actually a person from the Water Moon Palace, responsible for finding out the news of his country, and according to Lin Xin'er's arrangement, he came all the way to the palace to perform.
At that time, the master listened to her plan, smiled and said okay, couldn't resist her stubbornness, and promised her to try.
Now that I think about it, Master's voice is afraid that it has another meaning.
On that day, Ximen Jinglie agreed to her request to marry the prince, not only because of the face he saved, but perhaps because of the sound of the qin......
Even an inconspicuous old palace maid who has lived in the palace for many years can perceive her resemblance to "Miss Xia", can this lord of the first palace not notice something?
The Xia family was convicted and imprisoned, and the prime minister rescued the daughter of the Xia family and passed it on to the Lin family, which was also a more peculiar identity change, how could it not alarm the prince at that time?
Lin Xin'er believes that Ximen Jinglie has seen Xia Yubing, and he has also heard Xia Yubing's piano sound, just like the sound of the master's piano, just like the music she played at this time, especially this spring flower and autumn moon...... Although it is a very ordinary song, Master has made subtle changes, so the effect is more charming than that played by others.
Master's piano skills are very superb, and she has changed many ways of playing the music, although they are all subtle, but they can receive unique effects, and she has skillfully inherited these playing methods from Master.
Simon Jinglie's reaction proves that he has a different feeling about this piece, that is, this piece awakens his memory.
Ximen Jinglie stood at Lin Xin'er's side, Lin Xin'er's gaze was still lowered, and her long hair occasionally swept gently above the strings.
Looking sideways at the wall, there was a familiar shadow, but not her.
I remember that Master was always used to playing the piano with long hair and a shawl, and his hair swept over the strings, as if dancing with the sound of the piano.
After playing a spring flower and autumn moon, Ximen Jinglie was still standing next to the piano, as if he had not yet regained his taste from the aftersound.
The sound of the piano has stopped, but Ximen Jinglie's ears are still lingering.
Lin Xin'er didn't alarm Ximen Jinglie, and began to play again, it was still the spring flower and autumn moon. I played it over and over again, and time seemed to flow through this continuous loop.
"Yu'er, is that you?"
Finally, in addition to the beautiful sound of the piano, there was a voice that did not go with it, which was the affectionate call of Ximen Jinglie.
Syllable!
A string in Lin Xin'er's heart broke in response, and she was still silent on the surface, and the melody flying from her fingertips was still tactful and melodious, as if she was constantly telling a story that was a long time ago.
Allegory in sound, that's it.
At this time, Ximen Jinglie had been brought into his memory by Lin Xin'er's piano sound and the silhouette falling in the candlelight.
If Lin Xin'er still has enough skills, she will definitely be able to take Ximen Jinglie to tell all the things he thinks at this time, and the beautiful sound of the piano can also become a magic sound.
At this time, she could only quietly not disturb Ximen Jinglie, so that he could say how much in his distraction.
"Yu'er, would you like to take a look at me?"
Ximen Jinglie said again, his deep eyes staring at the dark shadows on the wall, as if the soul of the dead Yu'er had returned.
