concubine queen

Chapter 18 Seeing the Birds Again ([-])
When Feng Xi saw the harmony of the pipa, he knew it was a good pipa.Seeing Madam Wu's surprised expression, she was even more sure that this pipa had a different origin.

"Feng Xi, this pipa is called Qu He, and it was given to Ai's family by the late emperor. Today, you can play it with it." The Empress Dowager mentioned the late emperor, a gleam of brilliance appeared in her eyes.

After receiving Qu He, Feng Xi touched it lightly, this pipa is really a good pipa.

"Thank you, Empress Dowager, for your appreciation, Fengxi has begun."

Sitting on the soft chair, Feng Xi held the pipa with both hands, and plucked it lightly. The sound quality is thick, pleasant and comfortable.A pair of slender hands began to play, and a song "Xing Luo Xi" played slowly, matching the time.This song "Xing Luo Xi" was a piece that Fengxi accidentally discovered when she was looking through the ancient pipa scores. She liked the pipa since she was a child, so before entering the palace, she invited an old man who could play the pipa to be her teacher.Feng Xi was gifted and intelligent, but also diligent and eager to learn. The master was very pleased, and gave Feng Xi a pipa music score that he had treasured for a long time, which was the one in Feng Xi's hand.

The Empress Dowager held her chin, closed her eyes and listened carefully. She felt relieved. It has been a long time since she heard such a heartfelt pipa song.

As soon as Yu Mingqian came in, he saw the Empress Dowager lying sideways on the soft couch with her eyes lightly closed, as if she was about to fall asleep, while Feng Xi was sitting on the soft couch beside her, with a tune in her hand, playing with a pair of masterful hands, The sound of the pipa is pleasant to the ear.

Seeing the emperor coming, Grandma Wu was about to make a sound, but was stopped by Yu Mingqian. It was rare for the empress to be so quiet, so he couldn't disappoint.So Yu Mingqian sat aside and listened to the pipa.Although he didn't see Feng Xi's appearance, Yu Mingqian was quite sure that she was the woman who strayed into the bamboo forest that day, thinking of her cramped appearance that day, she was really cute.He didn't expect that she could also play the pipa well.

After Fengxi played the song, the Empress Dowager slowly opened her eyes and saw the Emperor, "The emperor is here, Mother Wu, why don't you tell the Ai family."

The Queen Mother gave Wu Momo a reproachful look.

"Mother, don't blame Nanny Wu, it's because I don't want to disturb my mother's pleasure of listening to the pipa."

Just as Feng Xi put Qu He down, she heard that it was the emperor coming, and then heard Yu Mingqian's voice, she suddenly felt familiar, but couldn't remember it, turned around and looked up, it was him!
Feng Xi looked at the person in front of him in surprise. When he met him before, he was dressed in white clothes, like a banished fairy, but now, he was dressed in bright yellow court clothes, and his brows were more domineering.A huge luminous pearl is inlaid on the hair crown on his head, and tassels are hanging around his waist, making him even more noble.

"My concubine has met the emperor." Feng Xi's voice trembled slightly, because she did not expect this person to be the emperor, but fortunately she was calm enough, otherwise she might really be rude.

"Get up. I think you can play the pipa very well, and you are as good as your mother, right?" Yu Mingqian pretended not to see Feng Xi's surprise, and his face was flat.

The queen mother pursed her lips and smiled, "The emperor was joking, Fengxi's pipa is much better than the queen mother's. Take a look, I found the right person for this piece."

Feng Xi hurriedly saluted, "The Empress Dowager's award, Feng Xi is only out of interest, it can't compare to the Empress Dowager's profoundness."

The queen mother helped Fengxi up, "Get up, the Ai family gave you Quhe today, you must take good care of it."

Feng Xi showed joy and hurriedly thanked her.The queen mother is satisfied.Yu Mingqian looked at Feng Xi with deep incomprehension, and the ring around his waist jingled because of his slight body movements.

"Emperor, shouldn't you rest at the queen's place today? Why did you come to the queen mother?" The queen mother was a little strange.

Yu Mingqian sat down again, "Mother, the queen is a little sick today, the emperor just saw her, caught the wind and cold, it's not serious, so let her rest well."

The queen mother nodded. The queen's health is indeed not good, otherwise she wouldn't have had no children for so many years, but she is gentle and understanding, so the emperor has always been good to the queen.

"Your Majesty, Empress Dowager, the concubine has retired." Feng Xi got up and squatted halfway to say goodbye.

The Empress Dowager understood that Feng Xi wanted their mother and son to have a good talk, Feng Xi also had a wink, and she became more and more fond of her.

"Okay, you can go back." Yu Mingqian couldn't see the expression.

Feng Xi left the Empress Dowager's Changle Palace, feeling a little scared in her heart, the emperor was actually the man from that day, but judging by his appearance, she couldn't guess whether he recognized her or not, if she had known that day, she would have behaved better and would not have gone to the Yue Wen School up.But Feng Xi was still a little happy in her heart, at least the emperor was extraordinary in appearance and talent, much better than her previous imagination.

Touching this piece of music, Feng Xi couldn't help but feel happy, today is still a good day, he got a good pipa.

Ningtong came in at this time, holding a bowl of yam and red bean soup in her hand.

"Master, you didn't eat much all afternoon. This servant thought you must be hungry, so I went to the imperial dining room and ordered a bowl of yam and red bean soup. You should drink it while it's hot."

Feng Xi's heart warmed up, Ning Tong was indeed her personal servant girl, after all, she was more considerate than those in the palace.

"Understood, Ningtong, you should go and rest quickly. By the way, help me watch those three more. If there is any abnormality, please tell me immediately."

"Yes, master. The servant girl will go down first."

Feng Xi nodded.

After Ningtong left, Fengxi put Qu He away, and was about to drink yam and red bean soup, when Ding Qishan suddenly heard from outside the door, "This servant has seen the emperor."

Feng Xi was startled, how could the emperor come to her place so late, maybe it was because of what happened that day.Thinking of this, he lost his mind to drink the soup, stood up, and stood with his hands down.

Yu Mingqian came in, Ding Qishan cleverly closed the door.

"My concubine has seen the emperor." Feng Xi saluted respectfully.

Yu Mingqian didn't move or speak, just looked at Fengxi like this.Feng Xi thought that Yu Mingqian was angry, so he kept the posture of saluting, even though his calf was already a little numb.

He is not very young, but he is very persistent.

"Get up."

Feng Xi stood up slowly, afraid of falling to the ground due to leg numbness.

Yu Mingqian sat down.

"My Fangyi is really a good match." Yu Mingqian's expression was calm, showing no signs of happiness or anger.

Feng Xi blushed, this person is really elusive.

"Fengxi asks the emperor to make amends." Fengxi hurriedly bowed her knees.

Yu Mingqian felt it was even more funny, although he talked about atonement, but he didn't seem to be very willing in his heart.

"Oh, I'm praising Fangyi, why did Fangyi say that?" By the way, he raised his eyebrows and suppressed a smile.

Feng Xi sneered in her heart, she really was a person who beat around the bush, there was something she couldn't say directly, but it seemed that she was not angry, the tone was obviously teasing.

"What the emperor said is that Fengxi should thank you, thank you for your appreciation." Fengxi was not in a hurry, and still knelt.Okay, let's see who can pretend better than whom?
"Pfft, haha, it's alright, let's sit down. Li Fengxi?" Yu Mingqian looked at her meaningfully.

Feng Xi couldn't help laughing, stood up, and sat on the other side of Yu Mingqian.

"Fang Yi, tell me why you went to Yue Wen School that day?" Yu Mingqian looked straight at Feng Xi, which made Feng Xi feel guilty.
