The four palace maids brought up a piano wrapped in red cloth, saying that it was a piano, but the people present couldn't help but be a little puzzled, they had never seen such a strange appearance of the qin, although it was covered by red cloth, but it was still different from the outline of the piano they usually saw.

Seeing this outline, the flower shadow raised her eyebrows slightly like a distant mountain, and the corners of her mouth crossed an arc that seemed to be a smile but not a smile, Ling Qiao'er just saw her playful smile, and was stunned in her heart, what? She didn't wonder what kind of piano was under this red cloth?

This is the qin that her brother got by chance from the ancient kingdom of the Western Regions, and it was also because of her brother that she knew that there were other countries besides the Four Kingdoms, and she deliberately took out this qin today, not to show off, but she heard that this flower shadow charm is excellent, and her piano skills are even better, she just wants to see if she really has the ability that everyone has said. It's just that seeing her like this, Ling Qiao'er was a little apprehensive in her heart, didn't the other party really know the origin of this qin?

The concubines stared wide-eyed and waited for the palace maid to lift the red cloth to reveal the mystery, and even Hua Roulan, who had seen the qin, looked at the qin with a wrong look, but the flower shadow was charming, and it seemed that the mysterious qin was not attracted by the wine in front of her, so she drank the wine herself and did not cast any eyes.

Hua Roulan looked at Hua Yingmei, and when she saw that the other party didn't care like this, she couldn't help but bite her silver teeth, and clapped her hands and ordered someone to tear off the red cloth, revealing the piano hidden inside.

"Wow~"

The moment the red cloth was removed, a bright light rushed out, and there was a sound of gasping cold air all around.

The piano under the red cloth has the strings on the guqin, but the strings are not horizontal, but erect, like a falling waterfall, standing vertically, on the piano stand, I can't see what kind of material the frame is inlaid with crystal clear gems, the sunlight outside the hall shines straight in, shining on the gems, reflecting dazzling light.

Seeing everyone's surprised looks, Ling Qiao'er raised her forehead slightly, and her big eyes were full of pride, "Princess Chang'an, do you know this qin?" ”

"What the princess said, my sister is a famous talented woman in Kyoto, where would she not know." Before the Flower Shadow Charm could open her mouth, Hua Roulan hurriedly said, listening to the fact that she was maintaining the Flower Shadow Charm for Ling Qiao'er's question, but in fact, she intended to raise the Flower Shadow Charm high, so that she could fall harder.

The people present are all human spirits, where do they dare to answer, they are silent as if they are dumb, but the eyes under the eyelashes can't stop looking at this and that, just waiting for the flower shadow to answer.

Hua Yingmei didn't seem to notice the evil intentions in Hua Roulan's words, and still smiled warmly, but this smile didn't hit the bottom of her eyes, just floated on the surface, she calmly raised her eyes, glanced at Ling Qiao'er, and said modestly: "Speaking of talented girls, where do I dare to boast of my sister again, I guess my sister knows this piano." ”

Hua Roulan's mind turned, Ling Qiao'er told her what this piano was, but among the people present, only herself and Ling Qiao'er knew about it, even if she agreed, Ling Qiao'er would not dismantle her own stage, looking at Hua Ying'er means that she doesn't know this qin, if she doesn't know it and she knows it, doesn't it mean that she has a passing grade and is called the first talented woman in Kyoto?

You just pretend, pretend to be so calm, you can't say that you will be embarrassed for a while.

After a long time, he raised his hand to help the falling step, cleared his throat and replied: "Sister praises it, but I just know a little bit about it, where can I compare with my sister and you." ”

Flower Shadow Charm laughed and said, "Since my sister knows, it's better to solve everyone's doubts." ”

The smile on the corner of Hua Roulan's mouth became higher and higher, and she couldn't wait to grin to the root of her ears, her pupils were full of arrogant emotions, her eyes swept over, swept over everyone present, and finally landed on Hua Yingmei, "If my sister knows, isn't my sister ugly when she says it, if my sister knows, my sister will explain one or two to everyone, if I don't know, it's not too late for my sister to speak." ”

How could Hua Roulan let her be dismissed in a few words, although she wanted to show off, but she wanted to make Hua Yingmei ugly and admit defeat, she wanted to hear her with her own mouth She didn't know these three words, and listen to her with her own mouth, it was not as good as herself.

Hua Yingmei pursed her lips and opened her mouth slightly, as if she wanted to speak and stopped, Hua Roulan only felt a burst of happiness, she had been pressed by her for a long time, she finally pressed her once, and when she went, she really had so many concubines in front of the palace people, they might not dare to spread it out, but this kind of princess of Chaoyang Kingdom would definitely give face and make this matter known to everyone.

At this time, she had even seen the embarrassed appearance of Hua Yingmei, and when she heard everyone's ridicule and ridicule of her, the curvature of Hua Roulan's mouth became larger and larger, and she was excited and excited like laughing.

Hua Yingmei slowly put the wine glass on the seat, leaned back, leaned lazily on the cushion of the seat behind her, her pupils were as calm as water without a ripple, and her voice sounded lazily, but it completely shattered Hua Roulan's expectations, and she smiled in her words, "Since my sister knows very little, it's okay, it's better than saying the wrong way and making people laugh." ”

Her gentle and clever words were like a heavy punch, hitting Hua Roulan's heart hard, Hua Roulan almost endured the pain of her heart dripping blood, and the hand hidden in the cloud sleeve on her lap protruded from the bones because of the hard buckle on her thigh, and her skin and flesh were pale.

She smiled, but this smile was even more ugly than crying, and her voice was poignant, "That palace, just wait and see." ”

Everyone glanced at each other, and the atmosphere of the hall at this time made them dare not even breathe more.

Hua Roulan, you are really hypocritical, you can pretend to be kind and have a sister, and now when you are annoyed, you call yourself this palace. You really can't learn well, you forgot the pain of the scar, and you actually used the harp to test me? What a big joke.

"Actually, I haven't seen this piano with my own eyes, but ....." Hua Yingmei glanced at Hua Roulan, whose complexion moved slightly, slowly stood up with the corners of her skirt, and walked to the harp with gentle steps, fluctuating the strings with her hands, and the melodious and ethereal figure poured out along her fingertips.

According to the musical instrument atlas recorded by Cui Shi'an, this piano should be called Mandarin Duck and Tiqin, the body of the piano is connected from end to end, resembling two mandarin ducks with their heads and tails next to each other, and the sound is like flowing water in the empty valley, which seems to be a clear spring that can wash people's hearts. In the history books, some people call this harp, which is an easy-to-understand name. The body of this piano is made of the ore of the deep sea after tempering and polishing, and you can see the gems on it, which are not set later, but integrated into the ore in the process of building. And this string, is not an ordinary silk thread, but the silk of the silkworm protrusion, I heard that there can be such a small group every ten years, the value of this piano, not to mention her rare characteristics, is the workmanship and materials, can be called a masterpiece. ”

"Chaoyang Country is worthy of being a big trading country, and even such a precious piano can be taken out and played with at will, it seems that the strength of Chaoyang Country is really not to be underestimated!" In the last four words, the flower shadow ghost bit the words very hard, and the smile on her face was as bright as the sun, but Xiaoxiao shivered fiercely, and instinctively felt the aura of danger from her own young lady.

Ling Qiao'er stared at her eyes in a daze, completely unaware that she not only knew the name of the qin, but also said everything to the Tao, and what she said was exactly the same as what her brother said at that time, or even more detailed than what her brother said.

After the shock, when he heard the other party praise the strength of Chaoyang Kingdom, he couldn't help but raise his head to show his pride, not realizing at all how much trouble it would bring to Chaoyang Country after the words of Flower Shadow Charm spread outside.

If the strength shown by a country is not the real strength, but the strength is concealed, then the other three countries will set their eyes on the Chaoyang Kingdom, which is originally a big country in import and export trade, and naturally, it is more worthy of being coveted than the strong Hengnan Kingdom.

Don't look at Hengnan and Chaoyang Country next to each other, but Chaoyang Country is in the sea area, you can cruise by boat, and you can find many countries they don't know about along the current.

Chaoyang Kingdom is a good place in the eyes of the other three countries.

Seeing the smugness in Ling Qiao'er's eyes, Hua Ying Mei sneered, if she wants to calculate her, she will have to bear the consequences of calculating her, this is just a lesson, and next time, she will not be as gentle as today.

Hua Roulan looked at the flower shadow who was standing next to the harp, her body was radiant, and she couldn't wait to drink her blood, eat her flesh, and crush her bones to ashes, why, why was she always so dazzling, so dazzling that she wanted to solve her with her own hands every moment.

"Since the flowers are over, then I will take my leave." Hua Yingmei calmly spoke, her dark eyes gently took Hua Roulan, and she made a noble salute, and before Hua Roulan could speak, she waved Yunxiu and turned away.

Xiaoxiao and Qiu'er hurriedly followed the footsteps of the Flower Shadow Charm, seeing the Flower Shadow Charm leaving, the concubines saw that Hua Roulan's iron-blue and distorted face dared to stay any longer, and they all got up and retreated, and finally in the huge main hall, only Hua Roulan and Ling Qiao'er remained.

Ling Qiao'er stood up, ordered someone to put away the harp, and said to Hua Roulan: "I didn't see it today, I didn't expect that woman to be so powerful, so I reluctantly recognized her." Concubine Lian, thank you today, I will retire. ”

Ling Qiao'er turned around and left the Jade Lotus Palace, and the maid who followed Ling Qiao'er pressed her temples worriedly, her little princess, why can't she see other people's faces at all, that Concubine Lian's face has become like that, she even said something in front of her that she reluctantly recognized Princess Chang'an, isn't this a stab in Concubine Lian's heart, this is good, it offended two people at once.

Although that Hua Roulan is not a good thing, but the princess has offended Princess Chang'an, she should be friendly with Concubine Lian, she is good, hey, fortunately, she can return to Chaoyang Kingdom after recruiting relatives, otherwise, she must die of exhaustion.

"Lian'er, why didn't my brother let me have more contact with Hua Roulan?" The aisle was general, Ling Qiao'er suddenly turned around, and Lian'er, who was bowing her head and slandering her abdomen, almost didn't brake the brake to install it.
