Uncle, don't overdo it

After leaving the palace, Lin Xiner sat on the sedan chair waiting at the door and walked slowly towards Jinyang Palace.

Lin Xiner was going to Jinyang Palace to play the piano, which made people look like she wanted to please the emperor, and this sedan chair from Yunxiao Garden was very similar to the situation when the owner was picked up by the emperor after the emperor flopped his cards.

Lin Xiner also knew that she was not just here to play the piano.

Ximen Jinglie took off his dragon robe, put on loose casual clothes, leaned on the soft couch, and stared at the qin placed in the corner.

Without the usual majesty, the eyes are mixed with complex emotions, as if drifting to a very distant place.

According to the time, Lin Xiner was supposed to come, but the eunuch who went to pick her up came back and said that she had a leg problem and was dealing with it, so she would not be able to come until later.

Ximen Jinglie did not change his mind, and decided to wait. Tonight, before Lin Xiner left for northern Xinjiang, he must listen to her play the piano once, that is, the piano that he has not played for a long time, and he will let it play again. sounded.

He wanted to track down that lost figure, and realize this wish that had been in his heart for a long time before Lin Xiner went to the northern border.

He believed that Lin Xiner was suitable for playing that piano.

Finally, Xiao Guizi's voice came, saying that Lin Xiner had arrived.

Ximen Jinglie leaned on the soft couch and lazily raised his hand.

Xiao Guizi withdrew, invited Lin Xiner into the Jinyang Palace, brought her to the Emperor, and then obediently withdrew.

"Xin'er sees the emperor." Lin Xiner bowed respectfully to Ximen Jinglie.

"No." Before Lin Xiner really knelt down, Ximen Jinglie waved his hand, "You just suffered from a leg problem, so there is no need to be formal."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Lin Xiner straightened up.

"The qin is there, play me a song called Spring Flowers and Autumn Moon." Ximen Jinglie pointed to the qin in the corner.

"Yes." Lin Xiner nodded gracefully and walked towards the piano.

This is the first time she has entered the inner bedroom of Jinyang Palace, and she doesn't want to still have an old piano.

Walking to the front of the piano and sitting down, Lin Xiner raised her fingertips and slid on the strings. The sound of the piano was a bit dull, as if no one had played it for a long time.

Following the sound of the probing piano, Ximen Jinglie's eyes also sank.

Time flies, old friends are gone, things are changing, can this piano not play the beautiful sound it used to?

Lin Xiner's dexterous fingers plucked the strings, and the sound of the piano gradually returned to normal at her fingertips. It seemed that she had found a new owner in an instant, and began to emit pleasant tones again.

Spring flowers and autumn moon were originally two beautiful scenes, carrying unforgettable memories.

Ximen Jinglie leaned on the soft couch, squinted his eyes and listened to the familiar rhythm, in a trance, it seemed that the shadow of many years ago appeared in front of him.

The two bodies are nestled together in the blooming flowers of spring, under the brightest full moon, looking up at the night sky, the brilliant stars are dazzling...

This is his favorite tune.

Someone had played in front of him, including Ximen Yin, who also played the same melody, but none of them brought him to the mood he once had.

Only this time...

Ximen Jinglie stared at Lin Xiner, with his head lowered, his long hair floating down casually, half covering it, and plucking the strings with both hands freely, his whole figure was enveloped by candlelight, casting dark marks on the wall.

Ximen Jinglie seemed to see that "she" had come back, so he couldn't help standing up and walking towards the person playing the piano.

Lin Xiner didn't look up, her eyes were always on those few strings.

Her own skill of playing the qin was taught by her master. She believed that the qin art was passed down from the master, so she specially arranged for a musician from the country to perform in the palace. A chance for the crippled prostitute to make a comeback.

Although the musician was very famous in his country, he was actually a member of Shuiyue Palace. He was in charge of inquiring about the news of his country. According to Lin Xiner's arrangement, he came from afar to perform in the palace.

At that time, Master heard her plan, said yes with a smile, but couldn't help her stubbornness, and promised her to try it.

Now that I think about it, Master's voice probably had some other meaning.

That day, Ximen Jinglie agreed to her request to marry the prince, not only because of saving face for him, maybe because of the piano sound...

Even an inconspicuous old maid who has lived in the palace for many years can detect the resemblance between her and "Miss Xia". How can the lord of the first palace not notice something?

The Xia family was convicted and imprisoned, and the prime minister rescued the daughter of the Xia family and passed it on to the Lin family. This is also a rather strange change of status. How could it not alarm the prince at that time?

Lin Xiner believed that Ximen Jinglie had seen Xia Yubing before, and he had also heard Xia Yubing's piano sound, just like the master's piano sound, just like the melody she was playing at this time, especially this spring flower and autumn moon... Although It is a very common piece of music, but the master has made subtle changes, so the effect is more charming than the effect played by others.

The master's piano skills are superb, and he has changed the playing methods of many pieces. Although they are very subtle, they can achieve unique effects, and she has skillfully inherited these playing methods from the master.

Ximen Jinglie's reaction proves that he has different feelings about this piece of music, that is, this piece of music awakened his memory.

Ximen Jinglie stood by Lin Xiner's side. Lin Xiner's eyes were still downcast, and her long hair would occasionally brush gently over the strings.

Looking sideways at the wall, there was a familiar shadow, but it wasn't her.

I remember that Master always used to play the piano with long hair and shoulders. His hair swept across the strings, as if dancing with the sound of the piano.

After playing a piece of Spring Flowers and Autumn Moon, Ximen Jinglie was still standing beside the piano, as if he hadn't recovered from the lingering sound.

The sound of the piano has stopped, but Ximen Jinglie's ears are still lingering.

Lin Xiner didn't disturb Ximen Jinglie, and began to play again, the same song "Spring Flowers and Autumn Moon".Playing it over and over again, time seems to flow in this endless loop.

"Yu'er, is that you?"

Finally, an incompatible voice sounded besides the beautiful piano sound, which was Ximen Jinglie's affectionate call.

Snapped!

A string in Lin Xiner's heart broke at the sound, she remained calm on the surface, and the melody flying from her fingertips was still melodious, as if she was constantly telling a long-ago story.

Emotion in sound, that's it.

At this time, Ximen Jinglie had already been brought into his memory by Lin Xiner's piano sound and her silhouette falling in the candlelight.

If Lin Xiner still had enough skill, she would definitely be able to tell Ximen Jinglie all the things he was thinking at this time, and the beautiful piano sound could also become a magic sound.

At this time, she could only quietly not disturb Ximen Jinglie, and let him tell how much he could say in his absence.

"Yu'er, can you take a look at me?"

Ximen Jinglie said again, staring at the shadow on the wall with deep eyes, as if the soul of Yu'er who had died had returned.
