"Oh? Tell me about it." Xu Zhaoyi raised her eyes, her tone indifferent but with a hint of superiority.
After all, she had been enrolled in a girls' school since she was young, and knew something about the Four Books and Five Classics, as well as music, chess, calligraphy and painting.
Unlike that beauty, she grew up in the border area.
What else does she have besides a pretty face?
I really don't know why Li Zhaoyi, who was so cold and indifferent in the past, would take such good care of Concubine Si.
"Xu Zhaoyi just heard the song played by Sister Li, right?"
"Isn't it a pity to have music but no lyrics?"
"How about asking Xu Zhaoyi to write a lyric for me? That will also help my sister to broaden her horizons." Si Muqiao said.
"Writing lyrics?" Xu Zhaoyi was stunned.
She didn't expect that Si Muqiao would make such a request.
If she were asked to dance to this music, she would do it, after all, dancing is what she loves most in her life.
It's not impossible to let her write the lyrics, but it will take time to consider.
"Exactly. Does Xu Zhaoyi find it difficult?"
"If it's difficult, Xu Zhaoyi, just tell me. There's no need to force yourself."
"Miss Si, are you looking down on me? It's just writing lyrics. Come on!"
After being slightly provoked, Xu Zhaoyi immediately took the bait.
Li Zhaoyi saw this and ordered, "Konghou, bring Xu Zhaoyi the writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone."
"Yes, I obey your command."
Li Zhaoyi's maid quickly brought writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone and spread them out on the table beside her.
Seeing this, Xu Zhaoyi sat over, picked up a pen and began to think.
"Li Zhaoyi, why don't you play it again? I didn't hear the whole thing just now."
"Yes." Li Zhaoyi nodded lightly, then sat back and started playing the piano again.
Another burst of pleasant and melodious piano music rang out. Si Muqiao was intoxicated while Xu Zhaoyi looked thoughtful.
And Murong Che, who was not far away on the other side of the wall, was astonished by her beauty.
Oh my God, there is such beautiful and moving piano music in this world.
The sound of the piano is lingering, carrying with it the emotion that touches the heart.
Murong Che felt sad and bitter after hearing this.
He swore that this was definitely the most beautiful piano music he had ever heard in his life.
The next moment, Murong Che was seen jumping onto the top of the wall and looking towards the yard.
When he saw the face of the person playing the piano clearly, he was stunned on the spot.
This... this woman must be a fairy from heaven, right?
How could there be such a graceful, elegant, and fairy-like woman in this world?
Oh no, it’s a heart-pounding feeling.
Murong Che, who had been to many romantic occasions and seen many beautiful women, suddenly felt his heart beating uncontrollably faster.
That heart was so hot that it seemed like it was going to jump out of my chest.
"Your Highness, what are you doing? Come down quickly!" The servant following Murong Che shouted anxiously.
His prince has always been lazy and doesn't follow the rules.
But after all, this is in the palace.
He suddenly jumped onto the wall of the concubines' harem and lay down on it, watching. What did he look like?
Isn’t this a lecher?
Isn't this too impolite?
"Shut up. If you keep making noise, I'll have someone sew your mouth shut!" Murong Che glared at him angrily.
Then, he continued to lie on the wall and look inside.
Among the three women sitting inside, he only knew Si Meiren.
Of course, the reason he came to the harem this time was to see the eunuch who raised geese beside Concubine Si.
He had just visited the cold palace not long ago, but was told that Concubine Si had taken the eunuch who knew how to raise geese to the Showa Palace.
He chased after him.
As a result, I unexpectedly heard such refreshing and touching celestial music.
The person playing the piano not only has superb musical skills, but also looks like a fairy, and his temperament is extraordinary.
Unlike that beautiful lady Si, although she is also very beautiful, she is too stupid.
The woman playing the piano is still better.
But who is she?
Murong Che was just thinking about it when he heard the piano music inside suddenly stop.
Then a voice came.
"How is it, Xu Zhaoyi, how is your lyrics going?" asked Simuqiao.
"Why are you in such a hurry? Doesn't writing lyrics take time?"
After Xu Zhaoyi finished speaking, she lowered her head and continued to write and draw on the paper.
"Sister Li, your piano playing is so beautiful. I never get tired of listening to it!"
"How is it? Are your hands tired? Come, let me rub them for you." Si Muqiao said as she moved closer.
"It's okay, no need to trouble Sister Si, I just need to rest for a while."
"Oh, okay then." Si Muqiao said with a little regret.
Woo woo woo, I’m not happy because I didn’t touch the hand of the Fairy Sister.
"Tsk!" Xu Zhaoyi couldn't help but roll her eyes when she heard this.
What a contrived and hypocritical Jimei love!
This is a harem, where does true love come from?
Bah, what a great actor!
Outside, Murong Che finally jumped off the wall silently.
Just now, he heard Lady Sima call her Sister Li?
So, that woman is actually Li Xu, the Li Zhaoyi in the emperor's harem?
"Your Highness, do you still want to ask Concubine Si for the person?" asked the servant behind Murong Che.
"Yes, that's right. I'm here to ask for someone from Lady Sima!"
"Come on, follow me in!"
After saying that, Murong Che smoothed his hair with his hands, then walked towards the main gate of Showa Palace with his head held high.
After explaining his purpose, Murong Che was quickly invited into the yard.
When Si Muqiao and others in the yard saw him appear, they had to stand up to greet him.
Murong Che put away his cynical air and spoke with a friendly smile on his face.
"You are so polite, everyone. I am here to serve in the palace on orders from the Emperor."
"Now that I have finished my work, I want to go to Lady Sima to ask for help."
"But who would have thought that Lady Sima was not in the cold palace, so I followed her here."
"Is it not disturbing you?"
Simu Qiao really wanted to answer him directly: "Yes, I am sorry for disturbing my admiration of the beauty!"
But considering Murong Che's face, he couldn't say this out loud.
"I wonder who the prince wants to ask me for?" Si Muqiao asked.
"The man next to you who raises geese, what's his name, Gold or Silver?"
"If you are willing to give that person to me, I will send you ten people."
After hearing what Murong Che said, Si Muqiao spoke immediately.
"I'm sorry, my lord, I don't want to."
"Xiao Jinzi is one of the people I value most in the cold palace. I wouldn't trade her even if there were a hundred, let alone ten." Si Muqiao said.
The palace maids and eunuchs in her palace were specially selected by her.
How could I just let Murong Che take me away so easily?
Besides, this little Jinzi is a person, not an object, right?
How can you change it just like that?
"Lady Si, I am discussing this with you again. When you said this, did you ask Xiao Jinzi's wishes?" Murong Che narrowed his eyes slightly.
"In reply to your Majesty, I am willing to stay in the cold palace and serve Lady Si for the rest of my life. Thank you for your kindness."
Just at this moment, Xiao Jinzi, who was not far away, knelt down with a plop and spoke in a trembling but firm voice.
