Qiuxiang was confused, "My Queen, did the little princess sneak out of the palace again?"
"Yes." Empress Xian stood up. "Take my zither and go see His Majesty. His Majesty should have retired from court."
"good."
Qiuxiang walked over to get the zither and followed Empress Xian to the imperial study.
As soon as Emperor Dewu heard that Concubine Xian had arrived, he knew what was going on.
But he said nothing and let her in.
Concubine Xian smiled and said, "I have recently learned a new song. Can you play it for Your Majesty?"
Emperor Dewu put down his pen and said, "Okay."
Empress Xian asked Qiuxiang to put the zither on the table beside her. She walked over and sat down, rolled up her sleeves slightly, and gently placed her ten fingers on the strings. Beautiful notes poured out, and soon Emperor Dewu felt drowsy.
He didn't sleep last night, so he didn't think too much about it. He closed his eyes while listening to the music.
Empress Xian glanced at Emperor Dewu and thought to herself, she didn't know how many days she could buy for Xi'er in this way.
Wait until night to wake His Majesty up. If His Majesty asks, just say that Xier has fallen asleep.
Thinking of this, Empress Xian did not stop moving her hands.
When Emperor Dewu woke up again, it was already evening, and he invited Concubine Xian to have dinner with him.
"I haven't slept this well in a long time."
Emperor Dewu raised his hand and rubbed his brow, "Empress Xian's zither skills are improving."
Empress Xian paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Your Majesty is overworked. Your Majesty, although there are many things to do at court, you should also take care of your health."
Emperor Dewu hummed a sigh of relief. Just then the food was served, so he said, "Let's eat first."
"yes."
After finishing the meal, Emperor Dewu asked, "Where is Xi'er?"
"Why don't you see her today?"
Concubine Xian smiled and said, "Xi'er must be busy today. I guess she's asleep now."
"Well." Emperor Dewu waved his hand, "Then I won't keep you any longer. I still have many things to do."
"Yes, I'll take my leave."
Empress Xian walked out with her zither. When Qiuxiang saw her coming out, she immediately went over to take the zither from her, "Your Majesty..."
Empress Xian glanced at her and she shut up and said no more.
After they were far away and sure that no one was around, Qiuxiang asked, "Your Majesty, has the Emperor asked about the little princess?"
"I asked." Concubine Xian said, "I said Xi'er has fallen asleep."
"The Emperor believes it?"
"Um."
"That's great!" Qiuxiang breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that her queen was still very powerful.
"Do you think His Majesty really believes it?" Concubine Xian smiled softly, "Your Majesty just doesn't want to expose my lies!"
"I believe Your Majesty has already known that Xi'er is not in the palace."
"Ah?" Qiuxiang was stunned. "But the Emperor didn't make things difficult for the Empress..."
If the emperor knew that the queen lied, wouldn't he punish her?
"Your Majesty is not that scary." Concubine Xian smiled helplessly, "Besides, I am Xi'er's biological mother. Your Majesty will at least give Xi'er some face."
"Besides, it's not a big deal."
After hearing what she said, Qiuxiang felt that it was true.
"Then, Madam, tomorrow..."
"Tomorrow will be the same as usual. I will come and play the zither for Your Majesty."
"Please tell Concubine Liang that I'll play cards with her after I'm done with my work. You can accompany her for the next few days. She's a big addict and she feels bad if she doesn't play for a day."
"yes."
…
Emperor Dewu glanced at the door and curled his lips slightly. When he saw Concubine Xian coming, he knew that Xi'er must be out of the palace.
Otherwise, Concubine Xian should be playing cards with Concubine Liang instead of coming over to play the piano for him.
In the next few days, Empress Xian would come to play the piano for Emperor Dewu, and Emperor Dewu gradually realized that something was wrong.
It seemed that whenever he listened to Empress Xian's music, he would feel sleepy.
And I feel very refreshed after waking up.
When Emperor Dewu saw her preparing to leave with her zither in her arms, he spoke, "Empress Xian, I have heard that there is a kind of zither art that can calm the mind."
Empress Xian's heart skipped a beat, knowing that His Majesty had discovered something.
She did not hide it, "Yes, Your Majesty, I have also been learning this kind of music recently."
She turned her head and smiled, "If you feel comfortable listening to this music, then it proves that my practice during this period is effective."
"If you like, I will come and play a piece of music for you every day in the future."
Emperor Dewu glanced at her and said, "You said the same thing last time. You persisted for a while but then stopped."
Empress Xian: ...
She is in the wrong.
She originally thought it would be okay if she didn't come for a day, but when her sister Concubine Liang asked her to play cards together, she forgot about it.
Empress Xian smiled awkwardly, "It was my negligence."
"It's not a loss to see such emotion on your face."
Emperor Dewu chuckled, "Alright, go and rest first. I'm not such an unkind person. If you're busy, it's okay if you don't come."
"yes."
Empress Xian responded and withdrew.
Emperor Dewu lowered his eyes. He had not expected that Concubine Xian had such great skills in playing the piano.
It surprised him.
And the other side.
Yuchi Xi also arrived in Rong County. Not far from the city gate of Rong County, she asked the little fire dragon to stop and said, "Brother Jing, please help me rent a carriage."
"I'm going to pick up Brother Feiyu."
"Okay." Jing Huaian entered the city first. Yuchi Xi hid the little fire dragon in her sleeve and walked in. As a result, as soon as she reached the city gate, she saw Lu Feiyu sitting inside the city gate.
Jing Huaian shrugged at her. There was nothing he could do. He also wanted to call a carriage and pretend that they came by carriage, but it was obviously impossible under the current circumstances.
