Chapter 640 Listening to music in a brothel
This is what Jiang Yuebai is thinking.

He is about to turn three months old. He lies like this all the time, and his bones feel like they are falling apart. His whole body feels uncomfortable. She didn't want to lie down anymore. But I was suffering from morning sickness, barely ate anything, and felt weak and weak.

The weather was hot and ice was used in the house, which was very cool. The palace maids around her took good care of her and there were no bedsores. But I kept lying on the armchair, and my back was still not breathable, and I covered myself with many small prickly heat, one by one, small bumps.

This is a very contradictory feeling.

She also decided to ask the two Jiang Yuan envoys the next day if they could start moving step by step.

Li Beichen was taking a nap with his eyes squinted on the way back to Qinzheng Hall in a chariot. Suddenly I heard a familiar singing voice coming from outside.

This section is the most touching part in "The Story of Pipa", and it is also the favorite section of Taizu and the late emperor.

"Pipa Chronicles" is different from previous stories about husbands who change their minds after gaining fame. It does not attribute this type of family tragedy to the man's personal conduct problems, but reveals the impact of fame, wealth, and other dizzying things. The erosion and capture of human nature.

Cai Bojie is an ideal filial son. He refuses to resign in exams, offices, or marriages, but it also endows him with the ability to sometimes be indifferent to fame and fortune, and sometimes be passionate about fame and fame, wandering between becoming an official and retiring, being loyal and doing his best. The character of a scholar who is conflicted between filial piety and filial piety.

The scene that Li Beichen heard was the climax of the play. Cai Bojie misses Zhao Wuniang's play "Qin v. Hechi".

"The old string has been broken, and the new string is not used to it. The old string cannot be strung up again, and it is difficult to put the new string together after it is left. I played the drum again and again, but the palace merchant confused me again."

"Ms. sir, do you dare to have a change of heart?"

"It's not that my heart has changed. It's such a nice cool day, and this song is just right to listen to, but the wind blows it to a different tune."

Li Beichen is not a fool, he sings the lyrics so clearly. It just means that he has a new person and has forgotten the old person.

Listening to this singing, he must be a talented person. As expected, it was Concubine Tian who asked her to invite her.

Li Beichen stopped the carriage and asked, "Who lives nearby?"

Liang Xiaobao quickly replied: "It's Yucai from Ningcuiju."

"Go to Ningcui Residence."

When they arrived at Ningcui Residence, Yucai held her pipa in her arms and bowed on her knees. A strand of black hair swayed around her ears, revealing her white neck.

Full of gracefulness.

Every one of her movements has been carefully rehearsed and designed with the help of the personal palace maid. No matter from which angle she looks at it, she is very charming and touching.

Li Beichen reached out and helped her up.

"Why is the emperor here?" Yucai asked shyly.

"I am naturally attracted by your singing. You sang "Pipa Ji" just now very well. Your singing voice is gentle and delicate, and your recitation is also quite appropriate. It can be seen that you have put a lot of effort into it."

Yucai Ren pretended to be surprised, "The emperor praised me so much that I feel embarrassed. Could it be that the emperor also likes "The Legend of Pipa"?"

Li Beichen nodded, "Taizu liked "Pipa Ji", so it became a traditional repertoire in the palace. I used to listen to this play often. Your singing is certainly good, but the emotion is more full than what I have heard before. ”

"Your Majesty, you are so complimentary." Yucairen blushed.

Li Beichen seemed to have remembered something and asked, "I heard that you have been learning to play the pipa from Concubine Tian these days? Come and play it for me."

Yucai smiled and nodded, "I am stupid and don't dare to show my shame. Although I have been taught by Sister Tianfei personally, I haven't learned it well yet, and I am far from the level of Sister Tianfei."

Li Beichen acted: "Let's play. You also want me to have a comparison next time to see how much you have improved."

Yucai smiled brightly and cutely: "Then I'm showing off my shame. Why don't you, Your Majesty, follow me to the palace to listen?"

Li Beichen nodded: "Okay."

Anyway, all the women in this palace want to please him, and their ultimate destination is to be fucked by him.

Yucai sat next to the glazed lamp, holding a pipa in his arms. The golden tassels on his hairpin swayed gently and shone under the lamp.

He glanced at the emperor lovingly, and then fiddled with it with his thin fingers as white as green onion.

When the song ended, Yucai Ren held the pipa and looked up at the emperor and asked, "Does it sound good?"

"It sounds good." Li Beichen had already heard it at this time. Yucairen actually had a foundation in Pipa, and he didn't just learn it from scratch.

Yucai Ren smiled slightly, seeming a little melancholy, "Your Majesty has never heard Concubine Tian play. Concubine Tian's playing is really like the sound of nature. My concubine is far behind."

Li Beichen sat next to her and said casually, "She is her, and you are you. I am still willing to listen to you play."

A woman's fall seems to only take a second.

With just these words, the emperor suddenly opened Yucai's heart. Perhaps because he was afraid that the emperor would be unhappy when he saw her crying, Yucairen quickly turned around and said softly, "The tea has cooled down. I will bring something new for the emperor."

But Li Beichen grabbed his arm and dragged him to the couch.

Yucairen always warned himself not to be tempted by the emperor, so that he could climb up.

She is a concubine. She is used to her own cold-heartedness, hypocrisy and submissiveness. She is also used to others being condescending and bossing her around.

However, at this moment, she felt like she had fallen into a honey pot, her whole body was filled with sweetness, and she longed to be close to the emperor.

Sink in the rolling desire, sink in the surging love.

*
Half an hour later, Changchun Palace.

Meng Zhaoyi prepared a table of delicious dishes and sat at the table waiting for the emperor to arrive.

Today, she found out the truth about Fan Cairen's miscarriage for the emperor, and was entrusted with the important task of acting as the agent of the Sixth Palace, and was promoted to Zhaoyi. And she did something like that for him
Shouldn't we come over in the evening to comfort her, celebrate her achievements, and finish the things we didn't do during the day?

She was in the Qinzheng Hall and clearly heard him calling "Hao Zhao'er" softly at that time.

Why
Chanjuan, who was sent to inquire about the news, came in from outside with a troubled expression on her face.

Meng Zhaoyi hurriedly asked Chanjuan: "Is the emperor here?"

Chanjuan said hesitantly, "Mother, I'm afraid the emperor won't be able to come tonight."

Meng Zhaoyi stood up angrily in an instant, "Why can't you come?"

Holding the edge of the table, he asked angrily, "Who did the emperor go to again? An Zhaoyi? Or Wei Changzai?"

Chanjuan lowered her head, "None of them."

Meng Zhaoyi asked doubtfully, "Does that mean the emperor is still approving the dumplings in the Qinzheng Hall? You can serve up this chilled Tremella, Lotus Seed and Lily Soup, and I'll send it to the Qinzheng Hall."

Chanjuan quickly knelt on the ground, "Mother, the emperor stayed at Yucai's house today. I heard that the song "Pipa Ji" attracted the emperor to Ningcui Residence."

Meng Zhaoyi's anger rose again, and she slammed the table, "Yu Cairen? Who is she! It's just Concubine Tian's dog."

As he spoke, he swept the dishes on the table down and broke them all over the floor.

The little eunuchs who came to clean up subconsciously slowed down their breathing to the point of being inaudible.

"Pipa Chronicles", "Pipa Chronicles", "Pipa Chronicles".
She got angry when she heard this.

Because Fang Changzai sent her this news two days ago, saying that the emperor liked to listen to this song.

She didn't take it seriously and didn't want to lower herself to the throne. She sang songs to please the emperor and made herself look like a lowly singing prostitute.

Now someone else used "Pipa Ji" to seduce the emperor.

"Tell me, how did she hook up with the emperor through "The Story of Pipa"? Which section specifically?"

Chanjuan reported the information to Meng Zhaoyi in detail.

After hearing this, Meng Zhaoyi said bitterly: "Shameless! Are you treating the palace as a brothel? You still have the nerve to ask the emperor if he has changed his mind. Who does she think she is?"

Chanjuan advised, "Miss, calm down. What kind of status is the miss? What kind of status is she? She can't even compare to one of the miss's toes."

"But we all serve the same man." Meng Zhaoyi said bitterly.

Thinking about this made me even more angry, but I was so angry that I wouldn't rush to make trouble now.

Her previous experience of being demoted made her fearful. What's more, she is now responsible for co-managing the Sixth House. It's a long time and there are plenty of opportunities. She is also afraid of a low-class bitch.

After calming down, Meng Zhaoyi shook her fan and said slowly, "Don't she like singing? Doesn't the emperor like to listen to it? As time goes by, I will let her sing as much as she can."

Here, Concubine Tian heard that Yucairen had really seduced the emperor to Ningcui Residence. She touched the little white dog in her arms, kissed its forehead, and showed a satisfied smile.

He said to the little white dog:
"You are quite smart, little one. You know how to please the master. I don't love you in vain."

The little white dog couldn't understand his master's words. He looked at Concubine Tian stupidly, twisted his body, and struggled to jump out of his arms.

Concubine Tian let go of her hand, and the puppy rushed out suddenly, staggering on the ground and playing with itself.

"You're an unfamiliar bitch." Concubine Tian sneered and scolded her, looking out the window at the dark night.
