Dong Gong Mei

Chapter 288
"That's right..." Gu Yuci nodded, and suddenly smiled, looking at Zhao Xiwei provocatively: "So, the Crown Princess can't play anymore?"

Zhao Xiwei casually took a sip of tea, raised his face, and smiled brightly: "It's not impossible!"

When Jiuxiaoqin was placed on the piano table, everyone felt a chill all over.

Even Zhao Xiwei couldn't help standing up solemnly.

Excellent pianos are rare, but no matter how excellent they are, they are just instruments for playing.

But Jiuxiaoqin is really worthy of the word "excellent".

Across the long distance, everyone shuddered involuntarily.

The whole body is pitch black, and every string of the piano is full of clear light.

A feeling of coldness and solemnity came over the face, as if telling everyone that the owner who holds the piano can lay down millions of corpses and bleed thousands of miles with a single swing of his bare hand.

For such a special piano, the saying "non-national players cannot play" is true.

Zhao Xiwei sat in front of the piano case and looked at it carefully for a while, feeling a little curious.

Empress Gu's favorite thing is actually such a piano, which is cold and murderous, without the restraint and gentleness that a woman should have.

What kind of woman is the legendary number one beauty?
She lowered her eyes to think, and those who were waiting to see the good show over there couldn't help it.

Xu Yunjiao yawned lazily, and said disdainfully: "If the princess doesn't know how to do it, forget it! This Jiuxiaoqin is not something that just anyone can play!"

Cui Yurong and Qiao Yunqian were sweating. Hearing Xu Yunjiao's ridicule, they felt even more uncertain, so they also stood up to smooth things over: "This Jiuxiaoqin is very powerful. If you play it rashly, you may lose your mind. Sister Wei... or forget it!"

"Yeah, I think it's fine!" Mrs. He also stood up, and persuaded earnestly: "It's just for fun, what's not to listen to? Besides, we are here to eat, not to enjoy Fun, right?"

Because of her humble background, she has always been squeezed out and scorned by the noble ladies both openly and secretly. Now that she heard that the Crown Princess was also born in the countryside, she has a somewhat unreasonable affection for her.

Zhao Chengyan frowned: "I heard that Guqin recognizes its master. If it is played by someone it doesn't like, it would rather break the strings than pronounce it. Now this Jiuxiao is definitely not a vulgar thing. It's not a big deal if you play it badly. If you accidentally break the strings But what can I do..."

As he spoke, he gave Mrs. Gu a soft and weak look.

Mrs. Gu hurriedly squeezed out a smile, and persuaded: "Crown Princess, let's forget it! After all, this Jiuxiaoqin is the Queen's relic, who will bear it if it is damaged?"

Zhao Xi smiled slightly, and was about to say something——

"I can afford it alone."

A cold voice came.

The faces of the people with different thoughts changed drastically.

Hearing this voice, Mrs. Gu's smile froze at the corner of her mouth.

Zhao Xi sat before the case slightly, raised his face slightly, and looked at the screen.

The veil is rolled up, and the bead curtain shakes.

At this time, it was dusk, and palace lanterns were lit all around.

The silver light is like snow, and the black gold-patterned robe is dazzling.

He stood there with his hands behind his back, his eyes coldly glanced around the female guests at the table, and then stayed on Mrs. Gu's face: "Jiuxiaoqin is the empress's relic, and as the empress's son alone, I can bear this responsibility."

The corners of his lips curled up almost invisibly, "What does Auntie think?"

With a smile like a knife and eyes like an arrow, not to mention a housewife, even an important court official cannot bear such pressure.

Madam Gu suddenly felt weak, and the fear of leaving Beijing with her family came to her heart again.

She moved her lips, breathing a little weakly and said: "...this... Your Highness can certainly afford it."

The screen was taken down, and the officials in the male guest's table also stood up one after another.

Gu Yong arched his hands, and said with a gentle expression: "Your Highness—"

Li Xuanye raised his hand, and Gu Yong shut his mouth knowingly.

The officials were also silent like cicadas, and no one dared to say a word.

Gu Yuci stood in front of the court in a red dress, and her beautiful eyes fell on Li Xuanye without blinking.

The eyes flowed like spring water rippling, creating a pool of ripples.

The smile is charming, like the spring breeze is passionate, provoking thousands of trees and red flowers.

All the guests were stunned for a moment.

Those in the know remembered that old incident, and their eyes shuttled back and forth between the two, full of meaning.

"Tsk tsk tsk, this Gu Yong is really willing to pay!"

"I can't bear to let the child fail the wolf!"

"It's a pity that Zhao Ziyi got there first!"

"That said, maybe the crown prince fell in love with his daughter first!"

"..."

The eyeballs of a group of old foxes went up and down like abacus beads, and after a few back and forth, they had finished communicating all the content silently.

Finally, more than a dozen pairs of eyes met again, and asked silently, "Can this be done?"

"Oh, if it can be done, it will be done long ago! How about demoting Gu Yong to Qianzhou for so many years?"

"That is, if it can be done, how can there be the current crown princess?"

"Hey, maybe that's not the case. At that time, both of them were still young..."

"Why don't you bet ten taels of silver?"

"I bet 20 taels!"

"..."

After another round of discussion, a group of old foxes suddenly stared.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince smiled, glanced at Gu Yuci lightly, and did not speak.

Then--

Looking at the crown princess, with gentle eyes and a doting expression, he asked, "Want the crown princess to play the piano?"

isn't it...

The old foxes looked at each other as if they had seen a ghost.

"Hmm... yes!" Zhao Xi pursed his lips and smiled with almond eyes.

Just now Gu Yuci's straight look, everyone knows what it means.

But he only glanced lightly, and then looked at her without avoiding it.

This is tantamount to letting everyone know that the only thing he cares about is her.

As the crown prince of a country, how many unnecessary criticisms he will have to face for doing this...

Especially in front of this group of ministers, Zhao Xiwei could already guess how those people would evaluate the prince behind his back without even thinking about it.

Her face slowly turned red, and infinite joy suddenly appeared in her heart.

The smile on the corner of the mouth is getting deeper and deeper, like clusters of roses, all blooming together.

It was rare to see her smile so brightly, Li Xuanye couldn't help walking towards her, and smiled slightly: "Then let's get started!"

Zhao Xiwei smiled again, raised his hands, his sleeves slipped off, and the few circles of pearls wrapped around his wrists rolled down loosely.

The pearls are shining brightly, and the wrist is shiny and smooth, like nephrite jade, like creamy fat, which makes people unable to take their eyes off it.

The fingers are white, tender and slender, the fingertips are light pink, the knuckles are lightly raised, and the fingertips are lightly tapped, just like a goddess scattering flowers, fluttering, and the sky is full of pink clouds.

They haven't played yet, just rolled up their sleeves, everyone has forgotten where they are, and they just feel light and light all over.
