Chapter 084: The Prince of Calf Protection

"Crown Princess, Drunken is only thirteen years old this year, are you saying that these are a bit early. Besides, hasn't Lu Shizi already married? Concubine Yan glanced at the crown princess and said lightly.

Lu Haichuan, the son of the Duke of Lu, was indeed married, and the bride was personally married by the emperor, but she died suddenly only a month after passing the door. In the capital, it is rumored that Lu Haichuan is hard, and ordinary women can't hold it down. Therefore, no high-ranking nobleman dared to marry his daughter-in-law, and those concubines and the concubine Lu Guogong, who had a slightly lower door, couldn't look down on it, so Lu Haichuan's marriage was delayed.

"Haichuan's mother, Concubine Yan, must also know, and the concubine has no choice. The concubine's mother came to the prince's mansion to cry with the concubine for the first two days, and the concubine thought that the princess was precious and blessed, and she would definitely be able to suppress the eight characters of Haichuan. The crown princess wrinkled her eyebrows and sighed.

All the ladies at the banquet looked at each other, listening to the words of the crown princess, it seemed that the prince of Lu Guo was really too hard, otherwise, how could he want to use the preciousness and blessing of the ninth princess to suppress his life.

Others don't know, but Xiao Xiwei knows. This Lu Haichuan is not at all because of the hardness of the eight characters to kill his wife who had just passed the door. Back then, Lu Guogong intended to hire the daughter of the general's chapter for Lu Haichuan, but he didn't want to, but the emperor took the lead and pointed out the daughter of Xiao Ji, a scholar of the Hanlin Academy, to Lu Haichuan. Lu Guogong was very dissatisfied with this marriage, but he couldn't resist the decree, so he had to welcome people into the door. But Xiao Ji's concubine is mediocre and good-looking, Lu Haichuan originally looked down on her, so he messed with the maids in the house all day long, and was later discovered by Xiao, under the dispute, Lu Haichuan accidentally killed her and lied that it was a sudden death. Because this marriage was decreed by the emperor, Lu Guogong was afraid that the emperor would be angry, so he let people spread rumors in the capital that his son was hard to kill the Xiao family who had just entered the mansion. As soon as the rumors came out, the Lu Guogong Mansion was equivalent to breaking the mind of making a fuss about the marriage of the prince. After the emperor knew, although he knew that Xiao's death was wronged, at least Lu Guogong stopped acting rashly because of this matter, and his goal was achieved, so this matter was gently revealed. Unexpectedly, Lu Guogong stopped for only two years, and he actually hit the idea on the ninth princess.

"Shilan, forget these things in private, don't put them here." Concubine Shen suddenly spoke lightly, her eyes swept over Concubine Yan on the side, paused, and then said, "The marriage of the ninth princess has the emperor in charge, although the palace is a concubine, but it can't be the master." ”

This is clearly an allusion to the fact that Concubine Yan can't be the master of the Nine Princesses.

There were rumors in the palace that the emperor was seriously ill that year, and Mei Guiren, the biological mother of the ninth princess, once knelt in the main hall and prayed, wishing to pray for the emperor's health with her own life. Later, the emperor's illness was really cured, but Mei Guiren couldn't afford to get sick and died not long after. At that time, the ninth princess was only a few months old. It is precisely because of this that the emperor has always been very indulgent to the ninth princess.

Back then, Xiao Xiwei heard about this incident and always regarded it as a good story, but it was only after a long time that she learned that Mei Gui suffered from blood collapse after giving birth to the ninth princess, and her life was not long after, so she acted such a play to win the emperor's mercy, so as to shelter the ninth princess who was still in infancy. However, the shred protection that Mei Guiren had earned with his life only lasted for fourteen years. Fourteen years later, the emperor ignored Chu Zuizhi's crying and begging, and forcibly sent her to the Northern Desert and her relatives. At that time, as the fourth princess, she went to see her off, and there was a dead silence in Chu Zui's eyes under the big red hijab...... It was the first time she had seen the ruthlessness and ruthlessness of the royal family. Even though it was the ninth princess Chu who had been favored for 14 years, Chu was drunk, the emperor said that he would abandon it.

"What the concubine said is that the concubine knows." The crown princess said, got up and blessed Concubine Shen softly, and then sat down again.

"The men are all drinking outside, and it's boring for us to sit here, so why don't we have some fun?" Concubine Shen said with a smile.

"The concubine has long heard that Miss Xiao Er of Zhongyong Mansion plays the piano well, I don't know if I am lucky enough to hear Miss Xiao Er play the piano today." The crown princess said as she turned her face to look at Xiao Xi.

Play a good piano......

Xiao Xiwei couldn't help but sneer a few times in his heart.

She had heard this sentence in her previous life, and the person who said it was none other than her sister Xiao Xile.

At that time, it was my grandfather who was recalled to Beijing, and the emperor specially held a banquet in the palace to pick up the wind and wash the dust for my grandfather. At the banquet, Xiao Xile also looked at her with a smile on his face. At that time, she was full of panic and helplessness. Others don't know that she is not good at the four arts, but Xiao Xile is very clear. At that time, the banquet was full of royal relatives and nobles, and she had just married Chu Yanzhi at that time. That time, she lost face, but Xiao Xile surprised everyone with a song "Qingping Tune".

"I have seen a lot of these pianos, chess, calligraphy and paintings on weekdays. It's not easy for us to follow the holy car out once, so it's better to think of something new. Seeing that Xiao Xiwei didn't speak for a long time, Concubine Yan on the throne said softly.

"It seems that the concubine's face is still not big enough, so I can't ask Miss Xiao Er to play a song." The crown princess smiled and said lightly.

Yan Guifei frowned, and was about to speak, but saw that Xiao Xiwei had already stood up, "The courtier's inskill in the piano is afraid of insulting the ears of the two concubines and the crown princess, but since the princess wants to hear it, the courtier will have fun for the princess even if she loses face." ”

The crown princess's face changed, she didn't expect this seemingly gentle and quiet Xiao Xiwei to be so aggressive when she spoke.

Soon, someone took a phoenix-tailed sycamore.

Xiao Xiwei walked to the table where the piano was played and sat down, tried a few notes, and then moved her fingertips, and the piano of the zither poured out of her fingertips.

As soon as the first note came out, Yan Guifei's brows, which were still slightly twisted, suddenly relaxed, and even her eyes were a little amazed and appreciative. Because Xiao Xiwei did not play the piano with the graceful and beautiful tunes of "Qingping Le" and "Lotus Picking Order", but chose a passionate "Breaking the Array".

Drunk to pick up the lamp to look at the sword, dreaming back to blow the horn company camp. Eight hundred miles under the command, fifty strings turned over the outside sound. Autumn soldiers on the battlefield. The horse-made Lu was fast, and the bow was like a thunderbolt. But the king of the world, won the name before and after his death. Poor white happens!

It was hard for her to imagine that such a weak girl could play such a passionate and uplifting song, although it was a little less bloody than a man, but a little more delicate, it was really amazing.

It was not until this moment that Yan Guifei felt for the first time that the woman in front of her was worthy of her pity.

The last note passed through the fingertips, and before the ladies could come to their senses, there were a few crisp applause at the door.

"Good! Good! She is worthy of being a loyal and brave granddaughter! This song "Breaking the Array" really has the style of your grandfather! The emperor strode in. He was followed by princes and ministers.

"The concubine has seen the emperor." Concubine Shen and Concubine Yan hurriedly got up and led the ladies to salute.

The emperor walked to the main seat and sat down, raised his hand with a smile, and motioned for everyone to get up.

"The emperor praised it falsely." Xiao Xiwei thanked him.

"Miss Xiao Er is too humble, your piano skills, no one in the capital can beat it. But in this way, you are still said to be a micro-end skill and dare not show ugliness, you are like this, how can other ladies in the capital live! The crown princess raised her hand to cover the corners of her mouth and said with a joking smile.

At the banquet, many young ladies were famous among the nobles in the capital for their outstanding piano skills, and the crown princess clearly said that Xiao Xiwei slapped everyone's face. At the moment, many young ladies looked at Xiao Xiwei with a little more displeasure and disgust.

Xiao Xi smiled and said unhurriedly, "The crown princess said with a smile." The courtiers are indeed not good at the piano, and the master who teaches often says that the courtiers are rotten wood and cannot be carved, and they also make trouble with their father and refuse to accept me as an apprentice, and my father is helpless, so he invited three masters for me, but no one is willing to teach me again. The princess was very interested, and insisted that the courtiers had outstanding skills, although the courtiers were afraid of losing face, they did not dare to dismiss the princess's interest, so they could only cover up their clumsiness and play this song "Breaking the Array", and use this passionate tune to cover up the trembling and disobedient fingers of the courtiers......"

I invited three masters but refused to teach Xiao Xiwei, which said that Xiao Xiwei's piano skills are really not good, and if you have a heart for such a thing, you will know it as soon as you ask. However, the crown princess insisted on letting Xiao Xiwei play the piano when Xiao Xiwei pushed her, and even the people who were not at the banquet just now heard Xiao Xiwei's words.

"The imperial sister-in-law has never liked to write poems and paintings, when did she change her interest and want to listen to the music." The corners of Chu Xizhi's mouth raised slightly, and he looked at the crown princess with a smile.

The crown princess's face froze.

"Also, even my fiancé has never heard of his fiancée's outstanding piano skills, I don't know where the imperial sister-in-law heard about it?" Chu Xizhi didn't care about the embarrassment on the princess's face, and continued to say unhurriedly, "Oh, could it be that the teachers who taught Wei'er were afraid of losing face so they deliberately said that Wei'er had good piano skills in front of the imperial sister-in-law." ”

"Yes, exactly." Seeing Chu Xizhi handing over a step, the crown princess hurriedly stepped on it and wanted to come down.

"It seems that all the teachers are telling now." Chu Xizhi sighed as if he suddenly realized, and then looked up at the crown princess suspiciously, "Then Master Zhu said that the imperial sister-in-law is steady and dignified, is it also a lie?" ”

'Poof' Some of the ladies at the banquet couldn't help but laugh lowly.

Xiao Xi glanced at Chu Xi slightly, lowered his head and forced a smile.

She knew that Chu Xizhi's belly was black, but she never thought that he would be so black. The crown princess finally found a staircase and wanted to come down, but halfway down, he suddenly withdrew the stairs.

"That's it! It's a pity, you have to have a degree of foolishness! She must be your royal sister-in-law. The prince furrowed his eyebrows and said angrily.

Although he was talking about the crown princess, the slap hit him firmly in the face.

"Look at what the imperial brother said, is she my imperial sister-in-law, isn't it up to the imperial brother to have the final say?" Chu Xizhi blinked, and then regardless of the embarrassment on the prince's face, he walked up to Xiao Xiwei and reached out to take her hand, and said distressedly, "Do your fingers still hurt?" Let's go, I'll go back and give you medicine. ”

Xiao Xi lowered his head slightly in embarrassment, covered his mouth, and coughed lightly.

"Then the father, the son and the minister will retire first." Chu Xizhi turned his head and looked at the emperor with a smile, and after speaking, he pulled Xiao Xiwei to salute together, and walked out in a grand manner.
