Chen Palace

Chapter 103 Picking Lotus
When the morning dew came out of the back hall, the twilight had already dimmed. Two rows of honey candles were lit in the hall, but it was still dark and deep.

People looked up and saw purple clothes, bright and gorgeous, flowing down like a stream of light, and Qingluan Fengguan, which was elegant and elegant, was placed on her forehead-she didn't wear plain clothes on weekdays, but under her full dress, she was naturally majestic and elegant In the desert, the entire hall was enveloped.

Yuan Qizheng was surprised, but saw that she walked to the right of the head, but did not take a seat, but said indifferently: "Today's banquet is poor, and I hope everyone will be happy."

All the concubines thanked her one after another, even saying that the empress was too modest, Chen Lu raised her head, but saw the emperor coming.

"You came?"

Her voice was crisp and melodious, as if infinitely pleasantly surprised and sweet. Yuan Qi was stunned for a moment when he saw this unusual scene. He thought of what he said this morning, and his heart lit up. With her hand, she said softly, "Are I late?"

He seemed to be intimate, pressed it close to his ear, and asked in a low voice, "Which one are you acting in?!"

"To check and balance the current situation for you!"

Chen Lu teased slightly, and also whispered.

"Later, please cooperate with what I said."

The two whispered for a while, as if they were rubbing each other's ears, they were intimate and unavoidable, while the concubines were eating, they were really shocked-the emperor was very indifferent in terms of women's sex, how could he have such an expression before?

After the guests and hosts were seated, the musicians in the palace played slowly and meticulously, the elegant sounds were melodious and solemn, and the delicacies were continuously presented.

"That's all, it's just the palace standard Hongyin..."

Chen Lu seemed to be quite sighing, and said lightly.

She looked aside, the concubines, who were like clusters of flowers, smiled and said to the emperor: "This is a family feast, why don't I wait for the drums to pass the flowers as a show, and whichever's turn it is, I will show my talent, how about it?"

She smiled shrewdly, took the bouquet from the hand of the maid, and was playing it in her hand, the drums were beating softly.

She tossed the ball up gently, and it landed perfectly in Yuan Qi's hands. At this moment, the drumbeat stopped, and the emperor was stunned. He woke up, stared at her helplessly, but stood up.

"Everyone had a great time today, but I have no talent at all, what should I do?"

He made a bitter look, causing everyone to hide their faces and smile, and the trembling and fear of the emperor could not help but a lot less.

"So I had no choice but to resign myself to it. Fortunately, I am tone deaf."

He smiled and ordered Qin Xi to take out the emerald jade flute from the small box, put it to his lips, muttered for a moment, and then there was music.

Chen Lu's eyes flashed—it was actually the song he played in the first "Yu Linglong" incident in depression.

The melody is vague, and the flute is used instead of the qin, which is a little more crisp and melodious, but it is not as sad and painful as last time, but soft and clear like a breeze blowing on the face.

Why are there such changes?
Chen Lu was taken aback by her question, she couldn't help but met his eyes——

The affectionate and meaningful eyes that stare with a smile.

The answer came to mind in an instant.

Her face turned pale, and in the deepest part of nothingness, she asked herself——

If he knew that the person he loves is nothing but a vengeful ghost full of hatred...

The sharp pain pierced her heart in an instant, and she was at a loss for a moment, and she didn't even notice that the music ended faintly.

"Ma'am...?"

Jian Qing helped her up.

"It's really a sound of nature, am I fascinated by it?"

She regained her composure and said with a smile.

The emperor picked up the bouquet and passed it on. When the drum stopped, it was in the hands of an unknown nobleman from Hunan.

Xianggui people have always been timid and clumsy. Seeing everyone looking at him in unison, their clothes were soaked in sweat immediately, and they murmured: "Concubine... I don't know much about talent."

She was so anxious and ashamed that she forgot the etiquette of facing each other, and sat still, the audience was silent.

Chen Lu smiled and said: "You are too modest. No one is born with poetry, qin and songs. They are proficient in everything. Just pick one or two good at it, that's all."

Seeing that the Xiang nobleman was still ignorant, she reminded: "The nobleman is from the south of the Yangtze River. I have always wanted to listen to some elegant folk songs!"

Only then did Xianggui regain her breath, she blushed with shame, she stood up, and said in a low voice, "Why don't I sing a lotus-picking song?"

All the concubines below couldn't help laughing, some of them were mean, they laughed in a low voice.

Chen Lu also laughed, and cast her eyes away, but when she saw those who covered their mouths and laughed sarcasticly, they all lowered their heads as if they had seen ghosts.

"Song of Gathering Lotus" is clear and melodious, soft and charming, although the words are slang, and the soft and sticky Su Bai has more Jiangnan style.

Only then did the people in the hall move slightly, and listened intently. (To be continued, if you want to know what happens next, please visit www.CMFU.COM, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!)
