"Sister Si, these are... all good poems?"
"Yes, that's right. I heard that you always read poems, so I collected some poems for you to appreciate."
"I wonder if my sister still likes it?"
"Yes, I like it, Sister Si, I love this gift so much!" Li Zhaoyi made no secret of her enthusiasm for poetry.
If she hadn't taken into consideration the presence of her guest, Simuqiao, she would have wanted to read all the poems carefully in one breath.
But there was no rush. After seeing off Lady Sima, she would read it slowly.
"Sister Li, take another look. The one below is the chess records I collected."
"The one below is music score."
"It's a pity that I was out for such a short time and was in such a hurry that I didn't look around carefully and failed to find a good piano for my sister."
"Next time if there is a chance, I will help my sister to pay more attention." Si Muqiao said sincerely.
The main reason is that Li Zhaoyi was really good to her.
And the gifts she gave to Li Zhaoyi were just found from Baidu.
If others are nice to her, Si Muqiao would like to return the kindness three times as well.
So, what she said was true.
"Sister Si, you are so polite. The gift you sent is already very valuable. I am very happy!"
After Li Zhaoyi said this seriously, she casually flipped through the chess record below.
The next moment, she was like: "!!!"
"Sister Si, this chess record... is it an endgame?"
"Well, I think so." Si Muqiao said.
Anyway, she doesn't know much about Go.
The most she can do is play Gobang and checkers.
"Great, my chess score, I love it."
At this moment, the joy on Li Zhaoyi's face was already a little dull.
"Sister Li, there is music score at the bottom."
"Let me see!"
After flipping through the music score and taking a look at it, Li Zhaoyi couldn't help but hum a few lines to the score.
Then, she couldn't help but speak.
"Honghou, bring me my harp."
"Yes, Master."
After hearing this order, the palace maid not far away hurriedly went to take out Li Zhaoyi's guqin.
"Sister Si, do you mind if I play a song for you?"
"Sister Li, please. I'd love to have you." Si Muqiao said.
The beauty sat on the bomb, and she was interested in it.
If she had a mobile phone, she would have wanted to open a certain audio app and record the scene right away.
"Okay, then I'll start."
After placing the guqin, Li Zhaoyi knelt beside it and stroked the strings with her slender white fingers.
As for the music score that Si Muqiao gave her, it was placed not far in front of her.
As the first note sounded.
Soon, a rich and artistic conception of the guqin version of "Rolling Pearl Curtain" fell into Simuqiao's ears.
Li Zhaoyi was not only beautiful, but also had an excellent temperament.
Even now, when she is playing the guqin, it is incredibly beautiful.
Her fingers danced back and forth on the strings like a light and graceful butterfly.
Graceful, graceful, floating, long and ethereal...
The mood of the melody is also distant and sad, lingering and sad, with an indescribable graceful sadness.
In coordination with Li Zhaoyi's devoted performance at the moment, the song "Rolling Pearl Curtain" was brought to life.
Not only was Si Muqiao, who was sitting there, fascinated by what was being said, but even Tang Yuan, who was not far away, and the palace maids and eunuchs who were busy outside were a little stunned.
It sounds good. It sounds so good.
This song is really beautiful to the extreme.
Of course, Li Zhaoyi’s musical skills were even more extraordinary.
As soon as the song "Rolling Pearl Curtain" was finished, Simuqiao heard the voice of an unfamiliar woman coming from outside.
"Li Zhaoyi is in a good mood. She even has the leisure to play the piano today."
She couldn't help but look towards the place where the sound came from.
Then I saw a woman in goose yellow palace dress walking towards me.
The woman was about 1.67 meters tall. She walked in a graceful and light manner, with a unique ancient charm.
She has a pair of willow-shaped eyebrows, a pair of gentle almond-shaped eyes below them, a high nose bridge, and red lips without any makeup.
Her hair was combed into a bun with delicate little peacock tassels.
Her makeup is exquisite, her clothes are neat and bright, and there is a faint fragrance on her body.
There is no doubt that she is a beauty.
But to be honest, Simuqiao felt that this person was not as beautiful as Li Zhaoyi.
Let me tell you in secret, I’m not as pretty as her.
hey-hey.
"Xu Zhaoyi? What are you doing here?" Li Zhaoyi stood up and said when she saw the person coming.
Her tone was cold and distant.
There was a huge difference between that tone and the one she used when she spoke to Si Muqiao.
However, Xu Zhaoyi, who was standing opposite, was not angry either, and continued to speak with a smile.
"Of course I was attracted by your piano playing, Li Zhaoyi!"
"Hey, could this sister be the Concubine Si who has always been willing to live in the cold palace?"
Soon, Xu Zhaoyi set her sights on Si Muqiao.
"Si Muqiao pays his respects to Consort Xu."
"Xu Zhaoyi is right. My sister is the Concubine Sima you mentioned."
Simuqiao stood up and bowed to Xu Zhaoyi.
There was no way, her position was not as high as others, and politeness was a necessary rule.
"Lady Si is indeed a beauty. She is so beautiful that she is on par with Li Zhaoyi."
"No wonder His Majesty summoned Sister Si to sleep with him earlier."
"Xu Zhaoyi, you have such good vision." Simuqiao said generously.
“???” Xu Zhaoyi.
She was so tortured by Si Muqiao that she couldn't do anything anymore.
She was just politely praising Si Muqiao and making a few sarcastic remarks to her.
Who made Concubine Si so beautiful and had served in the emperor's bedchamber, but her rank didn't rise at all?
A while ago, she was trapped in the cold palace by His Majesty and was not allowed to go in or out.
What does this mean?
This means that although Concubine Si is beautiful, she cannot keep your Majesty's heart.
What's wrong with the beauty? Didn't you hear her sarcasm?
He even praised her for her good taste with a proud look on his face?
What's wrong?
Wait, isn't what Lady Si meant by this a disguised way of praising herself for being really pretty?
When she thought of this, Xu Zhaoyi's face suddenly turned dark.
"Oh, Simian, you are so narcissistic."
"No matter how beautiful you are, you will still be confined to the cold palace forever."
"Listen to my sister's advice. How long can you get by using your beauty to please others?"
"If Sister Si has some free time, she should read more and stop disturbing His Majesty by going to the Imperial Study under the pretext of delivering soup."
As soon as Xu Zhaoyi finished speaking, before Simuqiao could even open her mouth, she heard Li Zhaoyi speaking up for her.
"Xu Zhaoyi, you're meddling too much."
"What does Sima-ren want to do have to do with you?"
"I'm afraid someone has imagined it a hundred times but just can't do it?"
"Let me tell you, you have the will but not the guts, and you're not as direct as Lady Sima!"
"At least Simian dares to speak and act. What about you? What can you do?"
"You!" Xu Zhaoyi was so angry that she was speechless.
Simuqiao couldn't help but look at Li Zhaoyi silently.
Tsk tsk, I sighed again, Li Zhaoyi and her sister really get along well.
When something happens, she really rushes forward.
So loyal.
"Xu Zhaoyi just said that. I think she has read a lot of books and has great literary talent."
"It just so happens that my sister has some questions that she would like to ask Xu Zhaoyi. Does Xu Zhaoyi have time?"
Si Muqiao also took the opportunity to speak.
Okay, didn’t Xu Zhaoyi start to teach her?
It would be better for her to give Xu Zhaoyi some difficult problems and see how she would deal with them.

Today is a day off from work. I am enjoying the air-conditioning, eating snail rice noodle, cracking melon seeds and eating watermelon. It is so refreshing.
