Chapter 294 I can only die!
As the name suggests, the melody of "Moon over Lonely Mountain" is quite sad.
But because tonight is the Mid-Autumn Festival family dinner, Concubine Jing did not want to ruin the atmosphere of reunion and joy, so she deliberately made some adjustments to the tune to make it sound more melodious.
As for the sadness in the song, she completely erased it.
Xiao Xixi didn't think as much as Concubine Jing, she just boasted whatever she wanted.
The high-pitched and loud suona sounds rise and fall, giving a sense of exhaustion, perfectly interpreting the sadness of "Moon over Lonely Mountain".
Concubine Jing's piano playing was interrupted several times by the sound of her suona.
The originally elegant and melodious piano sound became intermittent, and later even began to go out of tune, becoming more and more unpleasant to the ear.
Concubine Jing was completely at a loss.
She tried hard to get back to her original tune.
But the loud suona sound beside her ears was so enchanting that her thoughts were messed up and she couldn't calm down to play the piano.
Even after the song ended, Concubine Jing still hadn't found her tune.
Xiao Xixi put down the suona, exhaled slowly, and felt that she had performed quite well.
She subconsciously looked in the direction of the prince.
The prince was looking at her at the same time.
The two people's eyes met in the air.
The prince raised the corner of his mouth and revealed a faint smile.
Seeing this, Xiao Xixi smiled even more happily.
When Concubine Jing stood up, her hands and feet felt a little weak.
Until now, the sound of suona still lingers in her mind.
Everyone was immersed in the sadness brought by the sound of the suona and did not come back to their senses for a long time. For a while, there was silence in the Bigui Pavilion.
Everyone looked a little dazed.
It’s not that Concubine Xiao played the suona badly, but that she played it too well, and the feeling of sadness and loneliness came over you.
Coupled with the chrysanthemums all over the ground, it resembles the atmosphere of visiting graves during the Qingming Festival.
After a long while, the emperor finally sighed and said, "Concubine Xiao played the suona very well. You brought out the sadness of "Moon over Lonely Mountain". I never realized that the suona could be played so beautifully. You have broadened my horizons. I must reward you!"
As soon as the emperor opened his mouth, the princes and concubines naturally followed suit and praised him.
Only the eldest prince Luo Yechen said nothing, with an extremely sour look on his face.
Xiao Xixi bowed shyly: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your praise."
She returned the suona to the musician.
The musician said, "Your Highness plays the suona very well. I will give this suona to you. I hope you will not dislike it."
This suona is well made. Xiao Xixi likes it very much. She smiled and said, "Thank you."
She returned to her seat holding the suona.
Concubine Jing knew that her performance just now was terrible. She hurriedly bowed to the emperor and left with her head lowered.
She didn't dare to look at the reactions around her and went straight back to her seat and sat down.
Xiao Xixi gave the suona to Baoqin for safekeeping.
Baoqin whispered, "Your Highness played really well just now."
Xiao Xixi said proudly: "I think so too!"
When Concubine Jing, who was sitting next to them, heard this, her already bad mood became even gloomier.
She originally wanted to embarrass Concubine Xiao in public, but she didn't expect that she would be the one to be embarrassed in the end.
She felt angry and hateful.
It’s all Duan Liangdi’s fault. She insisted on making her play the melody with Concubine Xiao!
We should blame Concubine Xiao even more. Why did she have to play the suona when there were so many other things to play?
Concubine Jing completely hated Concubine Xiao and Concubine Duan tonight.
Concubine Li next to her suddenly spoke.
"Sister Jing, Duan Liangdi accidentally soiled her clothes just now. She went upstairs to change clothes and hasn't come back for a long time. I'm worried that something happened to her. You usually have the best relationship with her, why don't you go upstairs and check on her?"
Concubine Jing put on her dignified and generous smile again: "It's just a change of clothes, what can go wrong? Sister Duan may be tired from dancing just now, and wants to rest upstairs for a while, it shouldn't be a problem."
As soon as she finished speaking, Yingxiang hurried to the prince and whispered a few words.
The prince's expression changed slightly.
He stood up and strode upstairs.
A new program has started on the stage, this time it is an opera, and the singing is very pleasant to hear.
Some people present noticed the prince's movements, but the three big men on the main throne were still there, so the others did not dare to act rashly. They could only ask the palace maids and eunuchs around them to go over and see what was going on.
Concubine Jing looked at the prince's back as he walked away, with a thoughtful expression.
She turned her head to look at Concubine Xiao who was sitting next to her eating, and whispered.
"Something seems to have happened upstairs. The prince has already gone upstairs. Do you want to go up and take a look?"
Xiao Xixi said without even looking up: "I'm not going."
Concubine Jing: "Why not? Don't you want to know what happened upstairs?"
Xiao Xixi: "I don't want to know."
Concubine Jing: “…”
This woman is really meticulous and doesn't reveal any flaws.
Concubine Jing couldn't do anything with her and could only turn around and look at other people.
Concubine Li looked towards the stairs from time to time, obviously curious about what was going on upstairs.
Concubine Bai and Concubine Qin were as steady as a rock. They seemed to not care about anything. Some of them were drinking tea, some were watching shows, and they had no intention of going upstairs to take a look.
In the end, Concubine Li could no longer hold back and went upstairs with Caiyun on the pretext of getting some fresh air.
She wanted to go up and see if something had happened to Duan Liangdi.
In the upstairs dressing room.
Duan Liangdi sat on the ground with her clothes in disarray, crying.
There was a man lying on the ground next to him who had been knocked unconscious.
The man was wearing a guard's uniform, and judging by the style of his clothes, he should be a member of the imperial guards.
Luo Qinghan stood by with an expressionless face.
Eunuch Chang and Mo Hua stood behind him, both with their heads lowered, acting as backdrops dutifully.
Yingxiang knelt beside Duan Liangdi and spoke anxiously.
"Your Highness, I just came here with my mistress to change clothes. When we came in, there was no one in the room. But just as my mistress took off her clothes, a man suddenly appeared from the corner. My mistress and I were both terrified. We shouted several times but no one came to help. In desperation, we could only knock him out with a vase."
"This man must have planned this long ago. He wants to plot against our young lady. Please, Your Highness, help us!"
After saying that, Yingxiang began to kowtow.
Duan Liang Di cried bitterly: "Although I am innocent, I also know that this kind of thing cannot be explained clearly. My reputation has been ruined. I have no face to live anymore. I can only die!"
She raised her hand to pull out the hairpin on her head and pretended to stab it into her neck.
Yingxiang rushed over and hugged her arms to prevent her from committing suicide.
"My lady, you have been framed. Your Highness is wise and brave. He will definitely find out the truth and clear your name. Please don't let this get you down!"
Luo Qinghan glanced at Mo Hua.
Mo Hua understood what she meant and stepped forward to snatch the hairpin from Duan Liangdi's hand.
Luo Qinghan said calmly: "Stop arguing. I will investigate this matter thoroughly. You should take care of yourselves and don't disclose what happened tonight."
Upon hearing this, Duan Liangdi felt as if she had been pardoned, and her originally tense body began to relax.
She knew that she had saved her life.
Concubine Li's voice suddenly sounded outside the door.
"Why won't you let me in?"
The update at midnight is for the convenience of rushing to the list. There is no need to stay up late to wait for the update. You can go to bed first and check the update the next day. It will be the same~
In addition, Xixi played the suona and asked for monthly votes!
Seeing Xixi is blowing the horn so hard, can you bear not to vote?
