Chapter 52 Suppression
“Bold!”
The moment her palm was grabbed, Wang Ruer immediately got angry. Who on earth is so blind that he dares to interfere with my affairs?
Wang Ruer raised her head angrily, but the moment she raised her head, she saw the figure of the Emperor standing in front of her.
At that moment, Wang Ruer felt like she had seen a ghost.
His face immediately turned pale.
It turned out that the young eunuch in the Palace of Heavenly Purity did not accept the gift in vain, and what he said was actually true.
Did His Majesty really pass by this road? !
Did I meet His Majesty by chance again?
Wang Ruer was surprised and happy. She was so flustered that she didn't know what to do and hurriedly put down her hand.
She straightened her dress and then hurriedly forced a smile towards His Majesty.
"Long live the Lord."
"Your Majesty, your concubine greets you." After saying this, Wang Ruru knelt down and saluted. When she raised her head again, the corners of her eyes curled up and she deliberately gave His Majesty a charming smile.
That's what she did last time, she played a song for the Emperor. From then on, she was favored by the emperor and became a beauty.
Today's opportunity is also a coincidence, so I can regain grace.
It’s just a pity that I actually ran into Shen Fu here. If His Majesty saw what I did just now, I wonder if he would misunderstand me.
When Wang Ruer thought of this, she couldn't help but worry in her heart, and her eyes couldn't help but turn her head and glare at Shen Fu.
When Shen Fu saw this, a hint of disdain appeared in the corners of her eyes.
It wasn't that she did it on purpose, but Wang Ruer's expression changed too quickly.
As soon as His Majesty arrived, her expression changed so dramatically that it was even more spectacular than that of the actor.
Besides, does Wang Ruer think that His Majesty is blind? The way she just raised her hand to hit someone, did she think the Emperor couldn't see?
Chen Fu looked disdainful and knelt down: "Your Highness, your humble servant is here to pay homage to you."
Xiao Yu took it all in, but he pretended to be indifferent so that no one could tell his emotion.
"What are you two doing here?"
After Wang Ruer heard this, the heavy stone in her heart finally fell. Since His Majesty asked this, it means that he doesn't care about what happened just now.
Yes, I am the Emperor's concubine.
So what if Shen Fu was beaten? At this time, it is natural that His Majesty will help me.
Wang Ruer was pleased with herself, and looked at Chen Fu with contempt, then she stepped forward delicately: "Your Majesty, I was just teaching Chen Fu to play the piano."
She knew that her piano skills were excellent, and that no one in the palace could compare to her.
The reason why the Emperor took a liking to me was because of my piano playing.
Therefore, whenever she had something to do, she would deliberately play the piano. What's more, Wang Ruer was very confident in her piano skills.
Since no one can compare to her, she is naturally arrogant: "Chen Fu knows that my piano skills are good, so she came here to ask me."
"Learn the piano?"
Sure enough, when the word "qin" was mentioned, the Emperor became interested. His dark eyes swept over the two of them and lightly landed on Shen Fu.
"You and her?"
Shen Fu knew that His Majesty was looking at her, but under that sharp gaze, she could not see through His Majesty's intentions.
Just now, Concubine Wang raised her hand to hit him, and His Majesty clearly saw it.
I don't know what the meaning of this deliberate change of subject is.
After a lot of thoughts in her mind, Shen Fu finally nodded: "Your Majesty, this is it."
Since the slap did not land, I'm afraid that His Majesty will have other things waiting for me in the future.
"Since you are learning the piano, I have to listen carefully." Xiao Yu withdrew his gaze unnoticeably, stood up and walked towards the pavilion.
"Each of you play a piece, and I will judge it."
"This... Your Majesty, this is not good." Wang Ruer's voice was delicate, and she seemed to melt as she pinched her throat deliberately.
"My concubine... My concubine is bullying me again." His Majesty clearly knew how good her piano skills were, yet he still asked about her like this.
This is clearly to give yourself face.
Wang Ruer deliberately looked at Chen Fu and said in a soft voice, "Chen Fu has never attended a single class in Chuxiu Palace. If I win, wouldn't it be an unfair victory?"
"You didn't attend a single class?" His Majesty spoke up, his smiling eyes cast a heavy look on Shen Fu.
How could Shen Fu have the time to go?
In the Chuxiu Palace, the concubines have to learn embroidery and practice palace rules.
Chen Fu had to learn these during the day, and then secretly serve the Emperor at night.
My legs are shaking every time I wake up, how can I still have time to learn the piano?
His Majesty's gaze fell on him, full of majesty. Chen Fu stood straight with her waist held high, but her heart was in turmoil.
She mustered up her courage and took a step forward, taking a deep breath: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty is not feeling well, so Majesty specifically asked Your Majesty not to attend some classes."
Xiao Yu listened to the woman's trembling voice and knew that she was feeling insecure.
Shen Qingru's fate was within his expectations, and Shen Fu must be very panicked at this moment.
Should!
Xiao Yu had a smile in his heart, but his eyes were not gentle at all. Pretending to look fierce, he asked, "Are you feeling unwell?"
His thoughtful gaze fell on Shen Fu's waist and abdomen, as if he wanted to see into the deepest part through her clothes.
"I'm not feeling well." Shen Fu knew that His Majesty was teasing her, but she still had to nod.
"Your servant...I have been weak since childhood." Shen Fu's voice was soft, with a bit of dryness and tension.
His Majesty clearly knew the whole story, so there was no need to hide it anymore.
Sometimes the more movement she makes, the more advantageous it is for her.
Chen Fu lowered her head, revealing a blushing tip of her ear from beneath her long black hair.
She deliberately glanced at His Majesty, and then quickly lowered her head. Her voice was trembling, with shyness and nervousness: "Sometimes I don't have time."
After hearing her say this, His Majesty's eyes instantly became gloomy.
Chen Fu really doesn't have time to learn the piano.
She came to serve me every night, and her movements were trembling when she walked. How could she have the time to learn the piano?
Besides…I thought of Shen Fu’s wonderful piano playing.
Xiao Yu lowered his head and rubbed his fingertips.
With Chen Fu's piano skills, is there any need to learn it? I’m afraid that no musician in the entire palace can be half as good as Chen Fu.
The atmosphere between the two seemed to become tense.
Seeing His Majesty looking down at Shen Fu without saying anything, Wang Ruer panicked instantly.
Your Majesty, please don’t really take a fancy to Chen Fu!
"Your Majesty." Wang Ruer hurried forward and squeezed in between His Majesty and Shen Fu.
With a smile on her face, she said, "Then I will play first, and Your Majesty will give your comments."
Her face was full of tentativeness, and it was clear on her face that she wanted to demonstrate.
Seeing His Majesty nod, Wang Ruer's eyebrows and eyes immediately became excited, and she walked briskly to the piano table: "I will play for His Majesty."
Everything is prepared in advance and can be played directly.
Wang Ruer had been playing the piano on purpose to seduce the Emperor, but she had not expected that she was so lucky that the Emperor actually came to listen to her play.
This treatment is one of the best in the entire harem.
I'm afraid His Majesty still has me in his heart.
Wang Ruer was so excited that she played a song of love with ecstasy.
It was actually better than any other piece she had played in all these years.
When she stood up, Wang Ruer was so shy that she didn't even dare to look at the Emperor. She lowered her head, revealing a blushing neck: "My embarrassment."
"My beloved concubine played very well." Xiao Yu said, "There is a reward!"
She performed exceptionally well on this piece of music; she hasn't played it so smoothly in all these years. Wang Ruer's heart was still trembling with excitement, but she deliberately said, "Your Majesty, you are too kind."
"I composed this piece when I was young, but I never figured out the ending. I didn't expect that I could play it so smoothly today when I met Your Majesty."
Wang Ruer praised herself in a roundabout way, and then pretended to suddenly realize something:
"My humble skills are embarrassing in front of His Majesty."
She looked at Chen Fu and changed the subject: "I'm afraid Chen Fu's playing is better."
Shen Fu had never learned a single piece of music in the palace. During the time she was in Chuxiu Palace, she never saw Shen Fu holding the zither!
Letting Chen Fu play the piano is simply to give himself a stepping stone. With Chen Fu's support, His Majesty will definitely think that she plays better!
Wang Ruer looked very pleased with herself: "Let's finish the performance first, Your Majesty."
"Chen Fu." A half-smiley gaze fell on her: "It's your turn."
His Majesty's gaze turned to her, and Shen Fu knew that she could not escape today, so she lowered her head and stepped forward.
"Then I will present my ugliness to you."
Sitting down at the piano table, Shen Fu thought back and forth in her mind. His Majesty clearly knew his own piano playing skills and had heard himself play more than once.
There is really no need to hide your shortcomings at this time.
Besides, I’m afraid His Majesty doesn’t want to listen to her playing a random song at this moment.
The Emperor was already furious because of the secret, and if anyone were to make further remarks at this time, it would only add fuel to the fire.
After thinking for a while, Shen Fu instantly came up with a plan.
The finger dropped and waved lightly.
Through the curtain, Wang Ruer was quietly looking at His Majesty. She performed so well today, and his Majesty likes women who can play the piano so much, I'm afraid he will look at her with admiration.
If His Majesty summons me to sleep with him tonight...
The more Wang Ruer thought about it, the more shy she became, and her heart felt numb. She didn't notice anything after hearing the piano music until Shen Fu's song came out. Then her expression froze and she looked into the pavilion with wide eyes in disbelief.
What she just played…what did Shen Fu just play.
Shen Fu waved her fingers, already thinking about what to play.
Wang Ruer thought she was born with a good appearance and was even more arrogant about the fact that she could play the piano well. Today she just wanted to let Wang Ruer know that there are always people better than you.
If you want to suppress Wang Ruer, no song will be enough to completely suppress her spirit.
Only by playing the same song can Wang Ruer's arrogance be completely suppressed.
Tell her not to be so arrogant anymore and not to hang around in front of him.
Shen Fu doesn't attack easily, but once she does, she immediately shows her momentum. Chen Fu didn't dare to say anything, but when it came to playing the piano, she had never been afraid of anyone.
She has been learning piano since she was young, and playing the piano is as important to her as eating and drinking, and it has been ingrained in her bones.
As soon as the song Wang Ruer had just played came out, Chen Fu followed behind and immediately played it.
It's just the same love song, but Wang Ruer played it in a lingering and sad way, just like the thoughts of a little girl. Although it sounds nice, it lacks some grandeur.
Chen Fu had already heard the problems when she first listened to the piece, and she filled them in one by one when she played.
Although they sounded like the same tune, it sounded exactly the same when played by Shen Fu.
The same piano music, but mixed with thoughts, becomes more lingering and more captivating.
When the song ended, the surroundings suddenly became silent.
Countless eyes rushed to look at Concubine Wang. Lady Wang had just sworn that the song was contrived by herself, and her smug look was still vivid in my mind.
But anyone with ears can tell which of the two songs sounds better.
Regardless of what the people around her thought, Chen Fu calmly walked out of the pavilion and bowed, "I am honored to present my humble service."
The two of them clearly said the same thing, but for some reason it sounded different coming out of Shen Fu's mouth.
Lady Wang thought about how smug she was just now, and then looked at Shen Fu's indifferent expression.
The hatred in her heart seemed to surge, and the more Chen Fu did so, the deeper her hatred for her became.
It seemed like it was a natural thing for her to play such a song!
Wang Ruer was trembling all over, staring at Chen Fu's hands with hatred. If His Majesty hadn't been here, she would have wanted to take a knife and chop off Shen Fu's hand!
Xiao Yu glanced at Chen Fu's face with a half-smile: "I don't need to tell you who plays the best."
After listening to it once, Chen Fu played the song exactly as it was, and not only that, she played it even better.
Even if Wang Ruer had a great reputation, she still couldn't distort the facts in front of so many people.
She took a few deep breaths. Even though she was unwilling in her heart, she still had to step forward: "Yes...it's because my skills are not as good as others."
After learning piano for more than ten years, she thought her piano skills were among the best, but Shen Fu suppressed and crushed all her pride and self-esteem.
Wang Ruer couldn't even stand steadily, let alone flirt with His Majesty. After a perfunctory greeting, she left in a daze: "My skills are not as good as others, so I will leave first."
Wang Ruer felt as if her soul had been taken away, and she walked away in a daze with weak steps.
As soon as she left, Lin An immediately raised his hand and pushed all the servants around him to the left and right. Only His Majesty and Shen Fu were left there.
A cool breeze blows on your face inside the pavilion.
Shen Fu stood behind the piano table, lowering her head and not daring to raise it. I don't know how long it took, but footsteps were heard in the front.
He walked slowly in front of her, and the black boots fell under her eyes.
Chen Fu stared at the floating clouds on the black boots in front of her, her heart beating slightly. She knew that she couldn't escape today.
As if hearing her voice, a sneer came from above her head.
Then a cold voice sounded beside her ear: "Raise your head!"
His Majesty bent down, breathing into her ear, just like countless nights before, his voice was hoarse and seductive:
"Chen Fu, look up at me."
