The peach forest in winter has lost the sound of various cicadas and birds, which is particularly quiet, and the sound of the piano, which was not very clear, became clearer and clearer under the deliberate listening of several people.

The white-faced bearded attendant listened to it for a moment, and said with a smile: "Master, good ears, such a beautiful and beautiful tune, if you don't say it, the slave will ignore it." ”

As a slave, groveling to please the master he serves is his own business, and young men have long been tired of hearing such flattery.

But he was in a good mood, and he only had fun listening to it: "Since you're here, let's go in and have a look." ”

As he spoke, he glanced at his entourage and said with a smile: "By the way, let's see, who can play a tune that makes you Liang Jiugong feel beautiful." ”

Liang Jiugong smiled and kept up with Kangxi's steps.

The master and servant sang and harmonized, and naturally diverted the words that Fei Yanggu had tried his best to eliminate.

The obscurity in Feiyangu's eyes flashed, and it seemed that the Cao family really had a deep sacred heart.

Taoyao Pavilion, the climax of the song played by Cao Yue has passed, and the sound of the piano has gradually slowed down, if the part just now makes people smell like being immersed in the warm sun, then this part makes people unconsciously calm down, as if the dryness in the heart has been smoothed out.

The sound of the piano stopped, and An Ning opened his mouth to praise: "The girl's piano skills are getting more and more sophisticated, and the slaves and maids are intoxicated and can't extricate themselves." ”

What is the number one loyal brainless fan, this is it, if Cao Yue's piano sound is a magic sound piercing his ears at this time, An Ning will close his eyes and say that Cao Yue plays well.

Cao Yue reluctantly raised his head and glanced at An Ning: "It's that this piano is good, but it's not that my piano skills have improved." ”

In her previous life, she was a favorite concubine, and she was good at music, dance, etc., and she has been practicing the piano since she was a child in this life.

"Why should the girl be humble, look down, the girl's piano sound should be counted as unique."

Regardless of the side for the time being, he only said that among the piano sounds he had heard, the sound of the girl in front of him was the first.

An abrupt and low male voice came from behind the pavilion, Cao Yue's master and servant looked stunned, and before they had time to think about it, An Ning turned around and looked at Kangxi and the three of them scolded fiercely: "Presumptuous, who are you?" How dare you eavesdrop on my girl playing the piano? ”

Cao Yue sat with his back to Kangxi, never turned around, Kangxi looked at Cao Yue's back with interest, and turned a deaf ear to An Ning's scolding words.

Liang Jiugong, as the most loyal and eye-catching minion, didn't need Kangxi's orders, and took the initiative to con to Shang Anning: "Isn't the girl's words quite unreasonable?" My master is standing here frankly, how can it be regarded as eavesdropping? ”

Because she had seen the portrait painted by Cao Yin in advance, An Ning knew at a glance what the identity of the person who spoke was, including the owner of the voice at the beginning.

That's why she scolded like that, and she was a little frightened in her heart.

But on second thought, it seemed to them that she and the girl did not know their identities, so her behavior was not rude.

Thinking of this, the only remaining fear in An Ning's heart was gone, and she argued with Liang Jiugong with confidence: "Why is it not eavesdropping?" This peach forest belongs to my girl, you trespass without permission, can you still be reasonable? ”

"You ......" Liang Jiugong knotted, thinking that he would serve by the emperor's side, whether it was in the palace or outside the palace, concubines or ministers, who would not give him a little thin noodles, but he had not tasted the taste of being underhanded for some years, and he never thought that he would experience it today.

Liang Jiugong took a heavy breath, and just wanted to ask An Ning where he belonged to, Cao Yue reprimanded An Ning in a timely manner: "Don't be unreasonable." ”

So Liang Jiugong watched the servant girl with a fierce face, and instantly became docile: "The slave knows the mistake." ”

Cao Yue stretched out his hand, An Ning hurriedly helped the person up, naturally turned to face Kangxi and the others, and curtsied: "Forgive me, my servant girl has no bad intentions, and please don't take it to heart." ”

Years of experience and precipitation have made her voice just like the sound of the piano, clear as water, gurgling into people's hearts, making people feel comfortable listening to it. This kind of voice and calmness cannot be learned by anyone.

At the moment when Cao Yue turned around, Kangxi had already seen Cao Yue's appearance completely, and at that moment, many words to describe the woman's beauty flashed in Kangxi's mind, but he felt that none of those words were worthy of the appearance of the woman in front of him.

Immortal and jade, nothing more than that.

Jiangning City, Caofu Study

Cao Xi and Cao Yin, father and son, sat opposite each other, Cao Xi's aged hands rubbing the celadon cup, allowing the mist in the cup to wet his eyelashes.

After being silent for a long time, Cao Yin spoke first: "Father, my son received the news that the emperor has arrived in the peach forest, and I am afraid that I have already seen my sister at this moment, and we have no way out." ”

Their Cao family is the emperor's confidant, and only by gaining the emperor's trust can they be entrenched in the Jiangning area for generations, but people's hearts are always dissatisfied, even if they get the emperor's trust again, they don't know if they will lose the emperor's trust one day.

Only when there are their own people in the harem will they really feel at ease.

Cao Xi sighed: "It's the Cao family who can't live with Yue'er." ”

He only got a son and a daughter in his life, and his daughter was his old daughter, and she was held in the palm of her hand when she was a child, and she thought that one day she would go to the emperor as a concubine, and she would have to work hard for the family, and her heart hurt like a knife.

The celadon cup was put down, and Cao Xi hesitated: "Maybe Yue'er still has a way out." Ziqing, for my father, remember, you asked someone to teach the cousin Wang of the Li family before? ”

Cao Yin didn't reply immediately, but took a sip of hot tea before saying, "Father, that Wang family can't compare to my sister." ”

This person, he is most afraid of comparison, just take the Wang family out to see, the Wang family is indeed a beauty, but as soon as he stands in front of his sister, he immediately sees it, he doesn't think that after the emperor sees his sister, he will still look at the Wang family.

Cao Yin has always been decisive in doing things, and rarely changes his mind when he decides, seeing that Cao Xi is still unbearable, he continued: "Father, my son also sent someone to ask my sister yesterday, and my sister has never sent the news back, so it can be seen that my sister has made up her mind, even so, we should respect my sister's opinion." ”

Having said this, Cao Xi could no longer object, so he had to look at Cao Yin and earnestly instructed: "No matter whether this matter is successful or not, and no matter what happens in the future, you must remember that Yue'er is the sister of your mother's compatriots, and you must put her first in everything." ”

"The son knows, the father is relieved."

Cao Yin couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, he felt sorry for Yue'er, but compared to Yue'er, he valued the Cao family's honor and future development more.

The reason why he sent someone to Zhuangzi to ask Yue'er's opinion yesterday was just to complete the friendship between brothers and sisters, but fortunately, the final result was developing in the direction he expected.

Cao Yin walked out of the study, muttered for a while, and then raised his feet and went to the courtyard of the Li family in the south courtyard, and explained to the Li family: "Send the Wang family back." ”

With his sister Zhuyu in front, the Wang family doesn't have to stay anymore, so as not to be remembered.

Li Shi was taken aback, and he didn't care about calling someone to serve tea, so he hurriedly said, "Master, what's wrong?" Didn't you say you would wait for tomorrow......"

didn't wait for Li to finish speaking, Cao Yin's eyes swept over, and Li immediately silenced: "Ye thought about it carefully, now that Ye has only taken up the post of Jiangning Weaving, it is on the cusp of the storm, it is really not appropriate to have extra actions, Wang's place, it is better to stop here." ”

This excuse sounds unobtrusive, Li is a smart person, and naturally understands the perfunctory words in Cao Yin's words.

But it was about the Wang family, but she boasted about Haikou at her brother's place, saying that she would definitely be able to send the Wang family to the emperor's side, but now it is good, everything is ready, and she is about to kick the door, but she asked her to send the Wang family back.

If this thing really doesn't work out, what face will she have in her mother's house in the future?

Li's heart continued to fluctuate, but he didn't dare to ask Cao Yin why he did this, so he could only knock on the side and say, "Master really thought about it?" The Wang family took a lot of effort to teach. ”

Wang's appearance and figure are all superior, especially the weak and pitiful smell on his body, which is particularly in line with men's hearts.

I heard that the imperial concubine in the palace is as weak as a Han girl......

How could Cao Yin not know what the Li family was planning, he snorted lightly: "The Wang family is a Han girl, and the empress dowager in the palace is still there." ”

Although the identity of the Cao family's Baoyi is not very good on the stage, it is still much higher than the identity of the Wang family's Han girl.

After speaking, Cao Yin shook his sleeves and left.

Li looked at the back of Cao Yin's departure, only felt a pain in his head, and all he was thinking about was how to explain to his mother.

At this time, Wang timidly poked his head out of the door frame, looked at Li cautiously, half-biting his lip, and his posture was pitiful: "Madam......"

She heard their conversation, and it was precisely because she heard it that Wang was unwilling in her heart, why did she suffer so much, but others could break her dream for a long time with a word?

If it was in normal times, when the Li family had high hopes for the Wang family, as soon as the Wang family made this look, the Li family would have already fulfilled Wang's wishes.

Only at this moment, the Wang family has no use value here in the Li family, and it also made her lose face in her mother's house, how can the Li family be willing to give the Wang family a good face again?

Glancing at Wang, Li whispered, "Useless things." ”

Wang's little face turned white in an instant.

Li turned a blind eye, and while going to the inner room, he instructed her bride mother: "Tell the porter to prepare the carriage and send the people back." ”

At the back door of Cao's house, Wang looked at the extremely shabby carriage in front of him, his slender nails pinched his palms, and listening to the sound of the door closing behind him, Wang couldn't hold back his expression anymore, and became extremely hideous: "What are they when I am?" Are litterable kittens and puppies? ”

It's good to her when you use her, and discarded mercilessly when you don't use her, why!

The thought that if he went back like this, his stepmother would definitely marry him to that old pervert as a continuation, and Wang felt a wave of nausea.

After forcing himself to calm down, Wang's eyes lit up, and he turned his head and said to his personal maid: "Taoyu, my cousin has been recuperating alone in the suburbs for a long time, and I, as a cousin, should also go to see her and do my best, right?" ”

Cao Yue is different from her, Cao Yue has been pampered since she was a child, and her words in the Cao family still carry a lot of weight, with her careful pleasing of Cao Yue in the past, as long as Cao Yue is willing to help her say a word in front of Cao Yin, then she will definitely not be sent back.
