"Princess, a letter from Miss Su." Izuku took a letter with beautiful handwriting and whispered to Xiao Yunjiao.

Xiao Yunjiao put down the book in his hand, thought of the letter that Shen Yuzhou had brought out the day before yesterday, and hurriedly opened it to read.

Su Niannian was indeed entangled by a scoundrel of the Cui family, but she was able to stay in Chen Yang's Mansion for two years and still be alone, and she was not so weak and deceitful on her face.

Looking at it, Xiao Yunjiao actually laughed.

"It's a good Su Niannian, and he deserves to be the person who is favored by this palace." After thinking about it for a while, she said to Chuxiu: "Go and invite Mr. Jiang to come to the study." ”

In a moment of waiting for Jiang Yiheng, Xiao Yunjiao read Su Niannian's letter from beginning to end again, and the more she looked at it, the more she felt that this woman fit her eyes.

Therefore, when Jiang Yiheng entered the study, he saw Xiao Yunjiao nodding frequently at a piece of paper with a smile on his face.

"I've seen the princess." Jiang Yiheng bowed his hand, but before the salute was finished, he was called out by Xiao Yunjiao.

"Alright, let's see what kind of strange woman I saw." Xiao Yunjiao took advantage of the situation and put the letter in front of Jiang Yiheng.

"She actually begged the princess to take her into the palace and perform in front of the palace?" It is difficult not to be surprised if she is as bold as Jiang Yiheng, "This Miss Su is really a courageous and courageous person. ”

Five days later, it will be the palace banquet to welcome the northern Xinjiang proton Yale He, and there will be no shortage of songs and dances on the scene. In the past, these palace banquets were all songs and dances from the palace Taile Bureau, but I didn't expect Su Niannian to say in the letter that he hoped that Xiao Yunjiao would give her a chance to perform in front of the palace.

Her singing voice and piano skills, appearance and demeanor are not inferior to the palace maids of Taile Bureau, and even the female officials are not her opponents. If you can show your skills in front of the palace, not to mention one of Cui Jin's nephews, it is Cui Jin herself, don't even want to take her back as an outer room to raise.

Not only that, what Xiao Yunjiao admires most about Su Niannian is that she did not ask Xiao Yunjiao for help because of a child of the Cui family. Knowing that this is just something that she can solve with a word, she wants to "seek the near and far" and completely clear the way forward with her own skills.

This kind of talent is really in line with Xiao Yunjiao's heart.

"You can do it." Xiao Yunjiao felt comfortable, and opened the candied fruit box and took a bite.

Jiang Yiheng's eyes quickly swept over the box, got up and saluted, and quietly pushed the box far away with the help of his wide sleeves.

"Why are you so old-fashioned?" Xiao Yunjiao glanced at him strangely, bit the candied fruit and said, "You ask Liu Xi if he would like to go with him, his piano plays so well, it is appropriate for them to have a good look at the demeanor of the people in my house." ”

Thinking of the faces that Yue Minshan and Cui Jin might have at that time, she was in a good mood, and she couldn't wait to be angry with them.

Jiang Yiheng thought for a moment and said: "In this case, the princess can take Miss Su into the mansion to live today, and take it directly on the day of the banquet, which is unexpected." ”

"Great, you can arrange it."

......

The sound of the piano came out of the pavilion of the Zhuyuan Temple, and every sound of the Gongshang Jiao Zhengyu was weaving a beautiful musical score.

Suddenly, the sound froze.

Liu Xi looked at his hands pressed on the strings and slammed them up from the stool.

He muttered, "It's still not right, it shouldn't be." ”

A sound of footsteps came from the winding corridor, with a warm voice, "But what is the difficulty?" ”

Liu Xi came back to his senses and arched his hand to the visitor: "Mr. Jiang is here." ”

Jiang Yiheng walked into the pavilion, took out a thin-necked white porcelain bottle from his sleeve and handed it to him, "This is your medicine for this month." ”

Liu Xi took it, held it in his hand and looked at it for a long time, and then put the porcelain vase on the stone table.

Jiang Yiheng was a little surprised, "I see that you seem to be preoccupied, are you worried about the performance in front of the emperor?" ”

Liu Xi shook his head, "I just don't understand, obviously I have practiced the music score very proficiently, why does it still feel like something is missing." ”

Jiang Yiheng sat down in the pavilion and glanced at the score that had obviously been read many times, "In the way of piano music, I am not as good as you, but if you think it is wrong, why don't you go and talk to Miss Su about it?" ”

Liu Xi raised his head, "I just composed the music according to Miss Su's tune." ”

"In my humble opinion, music is not only a sign of the palace merchant on the score, but also a channel for singers and musicians to express their mood." Jiang Yiheng smiled slightly, "I still remember when I first saw you, the song "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix" you played for the princess on the tall building jumped out of the shackles of the music score, and people could hear your heart. ”

Liu Xi whispered with some shame: "At that time, I naturally wanted to rely on the princess to get out of the predicament, so I used the sound of the piano as a tool to meet the music, which is really embarrassing." ”

Jiang Yiheng shook his head, "I don't think so." ”

"Although your piano is played by the princess, but it really makes people hear the meaning, who can say that it is not a realm?" After a pause, he added, "You were the one who trapped yourself." ”

Standing up, Jiang Yiheng ordered the porcelain bottle on the stone table, "Don't forget to take the medicine, go and ask to see Miss Su." ”

Looking at his departing back, Liu Xi picked up the porcelain vase on the table and smiled self-deprecatingly.

Jiang Yiheng's longevity in the princess's mansion is by no means dependent on his face.

Everyone in the mansion thinks that he is as gentle as jade, and even he thought so before, but the condition that he promised to help him gain a firm foothold in the princess's mansion that day, in addition to explaining the reason why he came in, was to take a bone-eating poison to ensure his loyalty to the princess.

Liu Xi is not smart, but he is not stupid.

If you want to get something, how can it be without paying the price? I just don't know, what is the price Jiang Yiheng paid?

Opening the porcelain bottle, tilting his head and swallowing the pill, he turned around and walked out of the pavilion with the piano in his arms.

......

Two days later.

Xiao Yunjiao sat beside the pear blossom mirror table and watched the primrose put on a crown of twelve flowers with pearls, and the butterflies and tassels on both sides swayed to make her even more luxurious.

"Did you send Miss Su's jewelry?" She asked.

Izumi replied while looking for a forbidden step to hang on her waist: "It's already been sent, Miss Su is afraid that she will pack it up earlier than the princess." ”

She was still a little scared when she was first mentioned to serve in Xiao Yunjiao's house, but Xiao Yunjiao treats her subordinates very well, as long as she does things in a proper manner, she never scolds for no reason, so Izumi is now more and more comfortable with the princess and more and more attentive.

"How long is the feast?" Xiao Yunjiao drew two eyebrows by himself, thinking of what he was going to do today, he couldn't help but want to enter the palace quickly, and said without waiting for a response: "That's it." ”

"Oh, princess, you haven't brought the ban yet!" Seeing that Xiao Yunjiao was about to get up and leave, she hurriedly tied a double-ring white jade forbidden step for her.

Helped Xiao Yunjiao tidy up his belt, stood up straight and followed Xiao Yunjiao out of the door. Xiao Yunjiao, who was dressed in gorgeous clothes, was not robbed of half of his brilliance by gorgeous jewelry and clothes. Izumi looked at her back and couldn't help but be fascinated, she couldn't say anything to praise, she only knew that it was difficult for her to be attracted by the princess's appearance and bearing, as a woman.

"Has Miss Su cleaned up?" Xiao Yunjiao asked as he walked.

Izuku replied, "Princess Hui, Miss Su is already waiting at the door." ”

Xiao Yunjiao walked through the corridor through flowers, and saw Su Niannian at the shadow wall smiling at her from a distance.

She deliberately dressed up today, wearing a pink and purple cardigan dress embroidered with a hundred butterfly around the flower pattern, and a palm-sized tulle butterfly on her hair bun, with a few small flowers dotted nearby, lining her whole person like a fairy in flowers.

"I've seen the princess." Su Niannian bowed his knees, and the butterfly on his head flapped his wings slightly, faintly shining with crystal light.

"Hurry up, hurry up." Xiao Yunjiao personally reached out to help her up, and looked at her carefully, "Every year and today, I really saw what the Hundred Flowers Fairy in the sky looks like." ”

Su Nian lowered his head and smiled, "The princess made fun of it, these are small insect carving skills every year, just to make a new picture." ”

No longer funny with her, Xiao Yunjiao said: "Hurry up and get in the car, you are wearing a little thiner, don't freeze." ”

The two got into the carriage one after another, and the carriage walked steadily towards the palace.

Liu Xi followed behind with the qin, and also got into the carriage silently, looking a little depressed.

He rehearsed with Su Niannian for the past two days, discussing music and rhythm, and only then did he know what "there is a sky outside the sky, and there are people outside the people." ”

thought that his piano skills were outstanding, but Su Nian's song made him ashamed of himself.

There is too much craftsmanship in his sound. No wonder Mr. Jiang asked him to consult with Miss Su more.

Growing up in the land of fireworks, he was surprised that he had some noble ambitions in these two days of getting along.

originally thought that this life was just clinging to the powerful and living like a plaything, but now I want to live for myself.

"Willow Creek...... Willow Creek? Xiao Yunjiao looked at Liu Xi, who had just returned to his soul, and said, "What do you think?" ”

Liu Xi hurriedly replied, "The princess forgives her sins, Liu Xi was distracted and failed to hear the princess's orders." ”

Xiao Yunjiao looked at Liu Xi who was sitting in the corner of the carriage with the rules of the piano in a new way, and only felt that he had not seen him for a few days, and this person was like a different person.

She said again, "Wait until you enter the palace, you and Nian Nian will follow behind the palace, and when it is time for you to appear, the palace will create opportunities for you." ”

Willow Creek should go down.

Xiao Yunjiao said again: "But...... There is only one chance, how to grasp it still depends on yourself, this palace said so, do you understand? ”

After she brought Su Niannian over, she never asked the two of them what kind of performance they were going to do at the palace banquet, she was responsible for providing opportunities for the two, if they were a blockbuster, then they would no longer need to grovel, and if they made a fool of themselves, they could only blame themselves for not being satisfied.

However, she felt that neither of them was stupid, and they would make good use of every opportunity.

The carriage stopped at the palace gate, and the guards guarding the gate didn't dare to ask more when they saw the token of the princess's mansion, so they let it go directly.

It's just that after walking on the long bluestone palace road, it stopped again.

"What's going on out there?" Xiao Yunjiao raised his voice and asked.

Primrose and Izuku sat on both sides of the car door, and said in a loud voice: "Princess Bing, it was the carriage in front of me that stopped in the middle of the palace road and blocked the way." ”

Xiao Yunjiao pondered for a moment. "Let's see whose carriage is ahead."

Nowadays, there are not many people who can enter the palace by car, Xiao Yunjiao is one, in addition to her, only the two old ministers of the emperor Lu Xuwen and Prime Minister Yue Minshan have this honor, and it is a special case of His Majesty's kindness and compassion.

I don't know who is sitting in the carriage ahead.

Primrose quickly brought back the news, "Princess, it's the carriage of the Ministry of Rites to pick up the proton from Northern Xinjiang into the palace. The Northern Xinjiang Proton seemed to be in good health, and the car stopped. ”

Xiao Yunjiao frowned slightly, at this juncture, it is not good for the guests of the palace banquet to spread the news here.

"Has anyone gone to ask for a doctor?" After thinking about it, he couldn't let people just look at the illness on the palace road, and asked, "Where is the closest palace to here?" ”

Primrose said: "It's Wensi Palace." ”

Xiao Yunjiao said directly: "Let the people from the Ministry of Rites drive the car to the front of the Wensi Palace, let the proton seek medical treatment there, and the palace will inform Your Majesty later." ”

Wensi Hall is the place where the classics are placed, there are some vacant rooms in the hall, and there are palace people who sprinkle and sweep on weekdays and do not get dirty, and it is safer to put people there. Xiao Yunjiao didn't stay long after explaining, and set off to Phoenix Terrace.
