Chapter Twenty-Seven: Evil Heart, Section 1: The Palace
A few days after Xiao Hong returned to the court, he was summoned by his brother, and naturally scolded him, although there was no other punishment, but Xiao Hong, who returned to the house with anger, fell to the lowest point in his emotions. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info he saw that Mrs. Hui was sorting out the gifts sent by the officials in his study, and he couldn't raise his interest. When Mrs. Hui saw it, she knew that the emperor didn't give him a good face.
"Hmph, I, Xiao Hong, can also be regarded as his right-hand man when he got into trouble, that Xiao Baorong Chan is located in front of and behind the imperial brother, but I have cleared a lot of dissidents for him, I can't imagine that now he is the emperor is a smooth sailing, and he doesn't remember my credit as a brother in the past. Today, he rebuked me so loudly, and I was really unconvinced. Xiao Hong naturally didn't have to hide in front of Mrs. Hui anymore, and he endured his grievances for a long time in front of the imperial brother, and poured beans in front of Mrs. Hui.
"The prince went to Tongtai Temple today, presumably the emperor didn't give you a good face. "Mrs. Hui has already guessed what happened to Xiao Hong, this prince has long been dissatisfied with the current emperor, she has been watching the eagerness to try for 20 years, of course she knows his ambitions well, and today is an excellent opportunity to have a showdown with him.
"Hmph, if he really treats me unkindly, don't blame me for being unjust to him. Xiao Hong snorted and said.
"The prince has been holding this breath for more than three or five years, if you really come up with this breath, there is only one way. Mrs. Hui said slowly.
"Madame has thought of a good idea. Xiao Hong knows that he is an outer room, quite a bit of strategy, since she came to his side, although he is lukewarm to her, but this person who entered Beijing to be an official, in order to be an official came to give gifts, pull relationships and other trivial things, are carefully taken care of by this Mrs. Hui, his prince's family wealth, but it is inseparable from the shrewdness and ability of Mrs. Hui in front of him.
"The prince can only take revenge if he is crowned with the royal robe, and the king can take revenge in the world. Mrs. Hui said word by word.
"How bold are you to say this today. Xiao Hong sank his face.
"What don't I dare to say, if the prince doesn't take advantage of the chaos in the north, I'm afraid that when Wei Rui, Cao Jingzong, and Chang Yizhi return to the capital, you won't have a better chance. "Mrs. Hui's beautiful Danfeng eyes emit a vicious light, and her heart has been occupied by a kind of madness, which makes her hate all the people around her, and hate the happy and peaceful life they have.
"Madame is very right. It's just that this imperial robe ......" Xiao Hong was naturally overjoyed when he heard her words, but when he thought of this imperial robe, he felt a little uneasy in his heart, how could that imperial robe be something ordinary people could do? Besides, if this matter of making an imperial robe leaked out, I was afraid that if the imperial robe was not added, he would already be in a different place. Thinking of this, the uneasiness in his heart was mixed with a little fear.
"I know a person, the female celebrity is unparalleled in the world, and it is very suitable for her to make this dragon robe. A sneer appeared at the corner of Madame Hui's mouth, as soon as this brilliant idea came up with in her mind, she could no longer hold back the excitement in her heart, and she would definitely try her best to let the prince do it.
"Just when you do this, don't let the news go. Xiao Hong was most worried about his imperial brother at this time, in case he got the news first, he was afraid that he would die ugly.
"Rest assured, the day this dragon robe is made will be her death. Mrs. Hui said coldly.
"Haha...... So I'm relieved. Xiao Hong laughed before he remembered, "Who is this robe-making person?"
"Fan Yuncheng's wife, the prince. Mrs. Hui said slowly.
"Ah?!" Xiao Hong didn't expect that this matter was actually related to the Fan family again, he suddenly remembered that Fan Jun who died in Shaoyang, he had no grievances with the Fan family, but in recent years, for some reason, the people of the Fan family are facing crises one by one, and they have an inexplicable relationship with themselves, he suddenly thought of this Mrs. Hui, but often mentioned the Fan family in his ear, isn't it...... Thinking of this, he raised his eyes and looked at Mrs. Hui in front of him, why did this woman hate the people of the Fan family so much?
"This Mrs. Fan Yuncheng, what if you don't agree?" Xiao Hong thought for a moment, if it was just an ordinary woman, she would kill it if she did this, but this Mrs. Fan, I am afraid that it will not be so easy to solve.
Now that she learned about this, she promised to die, and if she didn't agree, she would die. "Mrs. Hui hated to kill her by herself at this time. The strong hatred revealed in her expression made Xiao Hong's heart tighten, why did this woman become so terrible?
"Alas, I heard that this Mrs. Fan is Zhang Yuanzhi's daughter, and her literary talent is extremely high, so I didn't expect that the female celebrity is also first-class. "Xiao Hong has been in the court for many years, and naturally knows that this only beloved daughter of Lord Zhang Yuanzhi is a talented woman with high talent, and this reputation is far better than that of her husband, Fan Yuncheng.
"It's a pity that once her dragon robe is done, people can't live. Lady Hui sneered.
"Where is she? The king wants to see her. Mrs. Hui's words made Xiao Hong suddenly interested, he really wanted to see how this lady was different from ordinary people.
"She is waiting in the front hall, I knew that the prince would return to the court, and today I called her to the palace. ”
"I really want to meet this Mrs. Fan, I have heard her name for a long time, but I have never seen her. If you choose her, then she won't live long, and she will be worthy of her by seeing Mrs. Fan's demeanor before she dies. Xiao Hong was a little sorry, yes, how many talented women are there in the world today?
"What the prince said is very true. ”
"Call her over. Xiao Hong motioned to the servant to bring Ling Xiao over.
When Ling Xiao went out, she didn't tell anyone where she was going, but after coming to the palace, she regretted it a little, and she still put the post of the palace on the table in the living room and forgot to put it away.
"The little girl has seen the prince and the lady. After Ling Xiao got up to the hall, he curtsied.
"Mrs. Fan doesn't have to be polite, I invite you to come today, do you know what the so-called thing is?"
"The little girl doesn't know. Ling Xiao raised his head and looked at Xiao Hong calmly. Xiao Hong was a little surprised in his heart when she raised her head, this woman seemed to have a kind of majesty born in her, and the feeling from her heart made him very surprised, and he saw that he was neither humble nor arrogant, and there was no fear or fear at all.
"I heard that the lady is both beautiful and beautiful, and the female red embroidery technique is unparalleled in the world, and the king admires it very much. ”
"The words of the market, the prince doesn't have to take it to heart. Ling Xiao replied.
"Madame plays the piano well, I wonder if there is such a Yaxing today, play a song for the prince?" Mrs. Hui, who was sitting on the side, said coldly.
"I don't know what song the prince and lady want to hear?" Ling Xiao didn't turn his head to look at her, but asked lightly.
Mrs. Hui wondered why she was not surprised to hear her voice, why she was not afraid. The anger in her heart has been burning, as if it is about to erupt, this little girl who has followed her since she was a child, now she doesn't even look at herself. Mrs. Hui hated to cut her with a thousand knives immediately to relieve the hatred in her heart.
"Invite Master Liu from the mansion out. The prince motioned to the servants to invite the piano master in the house out, Ling Xiao stood there quietly, Mrs. Hui kept looking at her with vicious eyes, but Ling Xiao's eyes never looked at her, she just stood there with an unusual silence, without saying a word. Soon after, Liu Yun, the pianist of the palace, came to the living room.
"Lord and Madam, what do you want to do when you call the villain? ”
"Master Liu, do you have a collection of piano scores that have been handed down in this world now?"
"The villain likes to play the piano since he was a child, and he likes to collect famous piano scores, I don't know which tune the prince wants to hear?"
"This is the wife of Fan Yuncheng, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, today Mrs. Fan wants to play a song for this king, Master Liu can find this piano score, let Mrs. Fan play a song for us?"
"Ah...... Mrs. Fan, I just don't know which piece Mrs. Fan is proficient in? ”
"No need, which song the prince likes to listen to, the little girl will play which song for the prince, and the piano score will not have to be read anymore. Ling Xiao shook his head slightly.
"That lady must have a plan in her heart, I am already familiar with the repertoire that Master Liu plays every day, wouldn't it be better if Mrs. could play a piece of piano music that this king has never heard before?" Xiao Hong suddenly wanted to embarrass this beautiful and gentle woman, so that he could give his wife Hui a chance to relieve his hatred.
"It's okay, then today's little girl will be ugly, and I will play a song for you. Ling Xiao said indifferently.
Ling Xiao slowly approached the piano, stretched out her hand and stroked the strings, the strings shook slightly, and the string sound was extremely pure, presumably this Master Liu was tuning this piano every day, she sat down, calmed her heart, and after her heart calmed down, she stretched out her slender fingers, put her ten fingers lightly on the strings, and began to play the music.
The moment the sound of the piano came out of her fingers, the first thing that shocked was Liu Yun, he stroked the piano for decades, such a fresh and elegant piano sound, he heard it for the first time, and the music played by Mrs. Fan, he did hear it for the first time, this lady sat there quietly stroking the piano, the sound of the piano was melancholy, with a trace of sadness, but the sound of the piano was clean and elegant, without a trace of worldliness. Liu Yun's thoughts have been brought to the mountains and deep valleys by the sound of the piano, Mrs. Fan's piano sound brought out the unknown deep loneliness and sadness, so that his heart welled up with an inexplicable sadness, the sound of the piano is sometimes low and sometimes melodious, but there is no insolence, can show his state of mind so vividly through the sound of the piano, among the celebrities who play the qin today, it is indeed rare.
After playing the song, it was already two pillars of incense, and everyone in the hall, including the slaves, was silent, and everyone held their breath and quietly listened to Ling Xiao finish the song. After Ling Xiao's hands left the strings, the strings seemed to be alive, still ringing slightly, and the music that had been played was still recalled in everyone's ears, especially Master Liu Yun, the pianist in the palace, who opened his mouth wide at this time and did not come back to his senses for a long time.
