The palace is quiet, and the empress of the cold palace is acting as a demon

Chapter 446 Participating in the Essay Contest
Qin Wan and Xun Che were walking back to the school, keeping a distance of one person from him.

"Come closer," Xun Che said to Qin Wan, "how can we talk so far away?"

Qin Wan: "No, in broad daylight, you are the second young master of Mr. Xun, the servant of the Ministry of Rites, and I am the little maid of the Shepherd's Mansion in Luqiu Prefecture. This is the strict etiquette of Dongyi Zoucheng. Our relationship should be kept low-key." .”

"It's not necessary." Xun Che moved closer to Qin Wan, "I'm an old student in the academy, so it's only natural for me to take care of new juniors."

Qin Wan couldn't resist Xun Che, and no one noticed them when she looked left and right, so she kept a fistful distance from Xun Che.

In the past, Qin Wan didn't care about these etiquettes at all. He has experienced too much malice in this world, and cherishes the hard-won peace too much. He was a little worried about gains and losses, so he became cautious.

The distance from the piano store to the gate of the academy was not long, Qin Wan walked very slowly, she looked at the surrounding shops and pedestrians, and found that she had rarely strolled the streets with Ning Yi in such a leisurely way before, looking at the bustling streets City scenery, feel the warm breeze in the early autumn evening.

After walking for a short distance, Xun Che suddenly said, "I never thought you could play the piano."

Qin Wan: "I didn't expect you to be able to draw."

Xun Che: "Which song do you want to play?"

Qin Wan: "I don't know much, and the theme is "Snow", so I haven't figured it out yet. What about you, have you finished your work yet?"

Xun Che nodded: "Well, it has been handed over to Dr. Danqing."

Qin Wan sighed: "I really want to see your paintings."

Xun Che: "In a few days, the school will have a collective exhibition, and you will see it then."

"I'm looking forward to it." Qin Wan said sincerely.

"Why didn't you participate in the calligraphy competition?" Xun Che asked, "It's no problem to get the first name with your calligraphy."

Qin Wan shook her head: "My handwriting is so easy to read, think about it or forget it."

Xun Che was puzzled: "Easy to identify?"

Qin Wan smiled perfunctorily: "It's nothing. Master Che, can we have something to eat before going back."

Xun Che followed Qin Wan's gaze and saw a small roadside restaurant.

"Okay." Xun Che nodded, and led Qin Wan into the small restaurant.

Qin Wan found the most remote corner and ordered three special side dishes of the store.Xun Che told her about the various rules and traditions of Yunxia Academy. Although Qin Wan knew it all, he still listened carefully like a new junior.

While eating Zoucheng's special dishes, the sun was setting and listening to Xun Che's gentle voice, Qin Wan even felt that she didn't deserve such simple happiness.

She only wished that her life would go on like this, without any further disturbances.

"Thank you for giving me this piano." After thinking about it, Qin Wan decided to formally thank Xun Che.

Xun Che was a little surprised: "Why do you thank me. Wan'er, I feel that you have become extra cautious after you came to Zoucheng, as if you were worried about something."

Qin Wan stared at Xun Che, frowned and said, "There are too many people here, and you are so kind, I'm afraid I might accidentally lose you."

Xun Che didn't expect her to say that. He thought she was joking as usual, but found that her eyes were extremely serious.

"No, I will always be by your side." Xun Che said solemnly.

Qin Wan was moved by a tinge of warmth in her chest, if it wasn't for the crowds in the small restaurant, she really wanted to hug Xun Che right now, and then kiss him sweetly.

Three days later, the doctors of Xuegong began to review all the poems and paintings received.Doctors of music began to organize music competitions.The venue of the competition is Xiuwenyuan with a stage and a small square.

Qin Wan borrowed Houhou's rouge and gouache to paint herself a perfect nude makeup, tied up her hair, tied it up with a wooden hairpin, and put on a long skirt of a schoolgirl, looking simple and elegant without any decoration.

When she came to the competition site with the piano in her arms, she realized that there were more than a dozen female students performing the piano art alone.And because she is a newcomer, she was ranked third to play.

This kind of game has always suffered more and more.

Qin Wan frowned, feeling that he was resigned to fate.She has practiced the piano inside the house every day for the past three days. Although she has practiced very well, facing so many piano masters, she feels that she still cannot underestimate the enemy.

Sure enough, the first two girls who played the piano were very good at the piano. One played a pipa, which brought all the doctoral students to the desert outside the Great Wall, and the other played a bamboo flute, which was the warmth and beauty of the first snow in the south , Let all the audience appreciate the artistic conception of Lu Yang Fuxue.

Qin Wan came to the stage third with Qin in her arms, and when she raised her eyes, she saw Xun Che who was watching her from the crowd.

She smiled at him, then calmly arranged the piano, sat on the stool solemnly, and everything was ready.

Wan Hou whispered next to Xun Che and Xun Cheng: "Xiao Liu's demeanor is so good, it can't be seen that she is nervous at all."

Xun Cheng nodded and said, "I was worried that she would be scared when she came on stage."

Looking at Qin Wan on the stage, Xun Che slowly loosened his fists that had been silently clenched just now, and gradually relaxed his worry.Qin Wan's demeanor on stage was generous, without any stage fright at all, on the contrary, he was comfortable and calm.Her makeup is beautiful, elegant, fresh and spotless, making people unable to take their eyes off her.

At this time, Qin Wan touched the qin with both hands, lightly plucked the strings, and the sound of the qin gradually rose.

The only song she could think of these two days about "Snow" that she could sing and play was "White Head Song" by Zhuo Wenjun.I had no choice but to sing it.

"It's as white as snow on the mountain, and as bright as the moon between the clouds. I heard that you have two opinions, so you have to say goodbye to each other..."

Qin Wan's piano sound is simple, without any superb skills, and there is no trace of carving.The only thing there is a certain kind of tiny sadness and loose helplessness in the voice.

She didn't have Songxue, but it made everyone present feel cold.

Listening to Qin Wan singing, Wan Hou wiped away tears with her sleeve like many female students in the crowd.

Many male students in the audience also bowed their heads silently after listening.

Xun Che stood under the stage, his brows were deeply furrowed, his eyes were full of Qin Wan's shadow, he focused on admiring, admiring and pitying him.He heard someone beside him whispering praises, he was proud and worried at the same time, for fear that her talent would attract others to covet her.

When Qin Wan finished the performance, the audience was silent.

Qin Wan walked down the stage in silence, carefully put away the piano that Xun Che had given her, put the case on her back and left Xiuwenyuan.

She just sang a little forgetfully, and her mood was a little unstable.At this time, she hid in a water pavilion hidden by reeds, breathing slowly to calm herself down.

The reeds are long and the calamus is cute. Qin Wan sits by the waterside pavilion, puts the violin case aside, and leans on the beauty to look at the little lotus in the lake.

Xun Che came looking for her at this time: "Why did you come here?"

Seeing Xun Che, Qin Wan asked in surprise and joy, "How do you always find me?"

Xun Che sat next to her, smiled and said, "Intuition."

"You don't want to watch the next performance?" Qin Wan asked.

Xun Che: "I just wanted to watch your game, and after watching you, I don't want to listen to or watch anything else."

Hearing what Xun Che said, Qin Wan was really happy: "Do you think the song I just sang is okay?"

Xun Che did not answer immediately, but raised his hand to touch Qin Wan's cheek: "The lyrics and music are beautiful, but they are too sad. It sounds like I have betrayed you, which makes me feel a little wronged."

Qin Wan looked at Xun Che's aggrieved eyes, pretending to be angry and said, "Why do you still take the checkmark to enter yourself, I really don't know any other songs related to snow, there is no other meaning." Qin Wan Xiaoxiao explained, "But I really want to stay with you forever."

Xun Che took Qin Wan into his arms: "Okay, we've made a deal."

Qin Wan leaned on Xun Che's chest greedily for a while, and then escaped again: "I can only give you a hug, in case someone..."

Before she could finish her words, Xun Che grabbed her and sealed her lips.

Under the eaves of the water pavilion, the beauties stand aside, the reeds are swaying, some dragonflies touch the water, there are the sound of frogs, and there are also lovers who are lingering and luxuriant.

Qin Wan was helpless, who wouldn't be intoxicated by such a feeling of unscrupulousness, like an adventure, thrilling and exciting, one can't stop.How could she not like it.
