Chapter 129 Playing the piano?There are tricks!

Not long after Yu Cixin took his seat, Yu Wenli came hand in hand with Concubine Qing.Since it was the concubine's birthday banquet, it was naturally not as lively as Yu Wenli's birthday celebration, but the presence of the emperor at the birthday banquet was enough to give Concubine Qing enough face.

During the whole banquet, she sat beside Yu Wenli with a smile on her face, sometimes having a drink with him, sometimes snuggling into his arm, smiling like a girl who just came out of the cabinet.

After drinking for three rounds, the musicians and dancers in the palace were almost ready to perform. Concubine Qing winked at Jingyue who was waiting on her left, and then Jingyue came forward knowingly, clapped her hands, and moved the banquet All eyes were drawn to her.

Since Yu Cixin entered the table, she didn't touch the food and drinks on the table, and lay down on the table.She was sure that Imperial Concubine Qing did not dare to touch the food at her table, and Yu Wenjue, who was sitting across from her, stared at her so resentfully that she lost her appetite, and she didn't even want to touch the food on the table. something.

At this moment, she was looking at Yu Wenli, who was seated above her head, wondering if she should find a reason to leave first, when she saw Concubine Qing winking at her personal female officer, and as expected, that female officer began to attract attention.

Seeing this, Yu Ci's eyes lit up, and he suddenly became interested.After waiting for so long, she could hardly wait any longer, and the good show was finally about to begin.

"Everyone, today is the birthday of our imperial concubine Qing, and my servants are bold enough to offer you a glass of wine to congratulate your empress." After saying those words, all the rich ladies stood up and raised their wine glasses to toast to imperial concubine Qing.

Yucixin also stood up meaningfully and picked up the wine glass, but before she could drink, Jingyue spoke again: "Princess Yunxin, I have heard that you have excellent piano skills. In the competition, I defeated all the participants that day with a young woman, and the songs I played and sang that day became popular in the capital. The empress is also a person who loves the piano. I don’t know if the princess can play the piano at the empress’s birthday banquet A song, to cheer up your empress's birthday banquet?"

play the piano?There are tricks!

But what can she do to play the piano in public?It must be on the piano.
Thinking of this, Yu Cixin stared at Jingyue for a few seconds, and when the smile on her face could not be stretched, she smiled and nodded: "Since it is your mother's birthday, do you want to listen to Xin'er playing the piano?" Why not?"

"My servant thanked the princess on behalf of my mother." Hearing Yu Cixin's agreement, a trace of triumphant smiles flashed in the eyes of Qing Guifei and Jingyue, and Jingyue even saluted her immediately, ordering everyone to rush Go to Concubine Qing's bedroom and fetch the "Flying Fire Flying Immortal Qin" for Yu Cixin.

"Princess, this is a famous piano handed down by your mother-in-law's ancestors. It's called the 'Liuhuo Feixian Qin'. It is something that your mother cherishes very much. After entering the palace for more than ten years, you are reluctant to touch it. Your mother confessed, if you agree This piano is the most suitable for playing the piano. It has been silent for hundreds of years, and it is time to present it in front of people. However, the empress also said that a good piano can only be famous if it meets someone with outstanding piano skills. Obviously, you That's the person." When the "Liuhuo Feixian Qin" was carried up by the maid, Jingyue introduced this piano to everyone, and there was no lack of praise for Yu Cixin, looking forward to her playing a song with this piano. The appearance of Qu Tianlai.

"Oh? Really? Then I have to take a good look." Yuci raised her eyebrows heartily. There must be something wrong with this piano, but where is the problem?
Carefully observing the 'Liuhuo Feixian Qin' delivered to her, she saw that although the strings were old and yellowed, they were still full of toughness. 500+ years.Moreover, rosewood is the material for making high-grade guqin, and the sound of the made piano is beautiful and pleasant.This Qin is ancient without losing its charm. Just looking at the materials used to make it, you can tell that it is a high-quality Guqin.

It's just that such a piano will hide what tricks?

While Yu Cixin was observing the piano carefully, Yu Wenli, who was seated above, began to urge him, but he hadn’t heard the sound of her playing the piano since his birthday. Later, Yu Cixin went to Liuyun Valley to participate in the Qin art competition He also heard about it when he was in Beijing. It is said that the piece he played that day was a very nice piece, but unfortunately he didn't have the chance to hear it at that time.

Afterwards, although the piece was passed into the hands of the musicians in the palace, and he also called the musicians to play and sing, it didn't appeal to him at all.Now Yu Cixin is going to play the piano again, and he is also looking forward to it.But seeing her staring at the piano in a daze, without moving for a long time, he urged her: "Girl, what are you dawdling about? Did you not think about which piece to play?"

Yu Cixin, who came back to his senses, looked at Yu Wenli with a slight smile, and replied: "Yes, I didn't think about it."

"Why don't you just play which piece you played in the piano competition in Liuyun Valley? I also really want to hear how the music that is popular in the capital is like." Yu Wenli suggested.

"Xin'er is as you wish." Yuci nodded heartily, and asked someone to remove the food in front of her table, then placed the piano on it, and when she raised her head to stroke the strings, she turned her head and glanced at the Concubine Qing, who was beside Yu Wenli, saw the sternness and insidiousness in her eyes, and immediately alarmed in her heart.

Withdrawing her gaze, she put her gaze back on the piano, and before her fingertips rested on the strings, her left ring finger was scratched by a string, and bright red blood beads emerged from the wound, staining the On the yellowed strings, a long section was dyed red.

The slight pain was not enough to make Yuci cry out, she just raised her left hand with a frown, looked at the shallow opening, and stopped after a few drops of blood flowed.When she looked intently at the string that had just scratched her, the part that had been stained red by blood just now was gone, replaced by an old yellow.

Strange, what's going on here?

Yan Ning was behind her, watching her finger hurt, just about to step forward to stop her from playing the piano, but she secretly stopped her.With this little injury, she couldn't even pluck a string.

Although Yu Cixin was puzzled, she still put her fingers on the piano again, and with a slight twitch of her fingertips, the melody overflowed from it. The sound quality was not as good as the Weiyang Qin that Shangguan Ye had given her.

After the melodious and soothing prelude, she opened her mouth and sang: "The night is getting cooler, and the flowers are falling to the ground and turning into frost. You look at the distance and consume all the twilight."

After the song, all the people in the banquet who listened to the song were immersed in it, unable to recover for a long time, including Yan Ning, who was standing behind Yu Cixin and worried about her, also frozen in place, motionless, with two lines on her face clear tears.

Yu Cixin glanced at the people around her. Even Yu Wenjue, who was sitting across from her and looking at her with resentful eyes, kept the same posture of raising the wine glass. She didn't move since she played the piano halfway. Not to mention Yu Wenli and Concubine Qing.

She got up and walked to Yan Ning's side, stretched out her hand and waved in front of her eyes, but saw that her eyes were still as empty as before, as if she had entered some kind of illusion.

Could it be because of this piano?
