Reborn Lady's Scheming

Chapter 45
This palace banquet was presided over by Concubine Cui Gui. Hearing such words, Concubine Cui's face would definitely be embarrassing. The other concubines who sat by the side also heard it clearly. The second concubine has always been at odds with each other. After all, there are few times like this.

They also had the mentality of watching a good show, and wanted to hear how Concubine Cui Gui would respond.

Concubine Cui's face soon returned to normal, and the embarrassment in her smile disappeared. Instead, she said openly: "The talent of the former empress, the concubine can only sigh for herself, but please don't blame the concubine!"

Instead, the emperor held Concubine Cui's hand, smiled slightly, and said: "My dear concubine, don't worry too much, you and your successors will benefit from each other!"

Concubine De's face froze when she heard this, but Concubine Cui bowed her head obediently and smiled like a delicate flower just blooming.

Concubine De almost gritted her teeth. With her extraordinary beauty, Concubine Cui was favored after entering the palace. In just a few years, she climbed to the position of concubine. Apart from the power of the Cui family, there is no relationship with her. Personal scheming is also inseparable from the relationship.

What Concubine Cui Gui is better than others is that she always shows no intentions in front of the emperor, and looks like she has nothing to say!

This made the emperor trust her even more, believing that she was always the innocent little girl who entered the palace for the first time.

After seeing more intrigues, the emperor cherishes the "innocence" of Concubine Cui Gui even more.

Concubine De shot herself in the foot again, thinking that she would hit Concubine Cui Gui by mentioning the priority, but it turned out to be useless!

Concubine De felt uncomfortable, and she didn't want to make Concubine Cui proud, so she forced a smile and said, "Sister Concubine, it is said that your niece, who is known as the most talented woman in the capital, is here tonight. Let Miss Xie come out and show her talent!"

Concubine Cui Gui knew that Concubine De had no good intentions, so she remained calm, she just said: "The title of No. [-] Talented Woman is only given out by others, Wan'er can't afford it, Sister De Concubine, don't embarrass the younger generation! "

Concubine De said: "Young Concubine's words are wrong. This palace is not embarrassing her. It's just that she has been famous for a long time and I want to see it! Younger Concubine is already talented and beautiful, and I would like to come here as a niece!"

The imperial concubine replied: "Sister Defei is absurd!"

"Your Majesty, you also want to see what the future Crown Princess will be like? The concubine is curious!" Concubine De said with a smile, as if she really wanted to see Xie Wanqing's talent.

The emperor frowned slightly, glanced at Concubine De, then at Concubine Cui, and said, "Where is the girl from the Xie family?"

Concubine Cui pointed down and said: "That's it!"

"Well, Xie Chongguang's daughter is very good!" The emperor praised lightly. Although Xie Wanqing was accused of giving it to the crown prince, the emperor was not familiar with Xie Wanqing.

Concubine De said: "Your Majesty, do you also think that Miss Xie is good? The concubine also likes it when she looks at it. If it wasn't for His Highness the Crown Prince, all the concubines would want to be a daughter-in-law!"

"Haha..." The emperor just laughed out loud.

Concubine Cui Gui laughed along with her, but she still didn't answer. On such an occasion, she was unwilling to let Xie Wanqing show her face.

Seeing this, Concubine De went on to say: "It is said that this girl from the Xie family has excellent piano skills, comparable to the former empress!"

Annoyance flashed in Cui Guifei's eyes, but the emperor had already spoken first, saying: "Oh? If that's the case, I really want to hear it!"

Concubine De immediately beamed with joy, because her scheme had succeeded!

Concubine Cui Gui knew that if she stopped at this time, it would only make the Emperor unhappy, so she had no choice but to give up, she could only say: "Your Majesty, Sister De Concubine is really absurd, how can Wan'er's piano skills be compared with the former Empress, if the Emperor wants to Listen, it doesn't hurt to let her play a song!"

Concubine De said: "The concubine remembers that the empress's favorite song is the Guangling swan song, why don't you let Miss Xie play a song to cheer you up!"

Only now did Concubine Cui understand what Concubine De was up to, she wanted to embarrass Xie Wanqing with Guangling's swan song!

Guangling Juechang is an extremely difficult piece, and it has extremely high requirements for those who work hard. The most difficult thing is that the music score is incomplete. May be.

If Xie Wanqing couldn't play it, it would be embarrassing. If she did, it would not be as good as the empress's first, and the emperor would naturally be disappointed.

But Concubine Cui can't refuse now, that would be to demolish Xie Wanqing, as the royal daughter-in-law and the future princess, if she doesn't even have this ability, the emperor will definitely have a grudge in his heart.

Before she could think of a way to get the best of both worlds, the emperor said, "Cui Guifei, let Miss Xie come out and play a song!"

Concubine Cui nodded, and asked the people around her to inform Xie Wanqing.

When Xie Wanqing got the news, she was slightly stunned, but since Concubine Cui Gui had asked for it, she probably did it as a last resort, and she couldn't accept it if she didn't want to.

The eunuch accompanying the emperor said: "Miss Xie Jia is going to play a Guangling swan song for the emperor today to cheer up the emperor. In the past, only the former empress could play this song. Today, everyone is blessed!"

Everyone's eyes turned to Xie Wanqing, Xie Wanqing just got up indifferently, walked to the middle, saluted the emperor, and said: "Your Majesty, my servant is showing her shame!"

As he spoke, he borrowed a violin from the luthier, and then sat in the middle.

Xuanyuan Ming stared at Xie Wanqing, Guangling Juechang was his mother's favorite song, he hadn't listened to it for many years.

Xie Wanqing tuned the strings and closed her eyes slightly. Guangling's swan song is a remnant score. It is not easy to play it down completely. She has to compose the music herself. Fortunately, she once heard that the former queen liked this song, so she decided to learn it Pass.

At that time, it was just to please the prince after getting married, but even if she learned this song, he had never heard of it!
Xie Wanqing felt overwhelmed at the thought of this, but finally suppressed it silently.

The piano sounded...

Just a few tones, the emperor was stunned for a moment, the sound of the piano was so familiar that he almost thought that he was back by that person's side again!
Xie Wanqing's piano sound was naturally imitated by the late empress, because the person who taught her this song was the luthier who followed the late empress.

This piece... She naturally learned it perfectly, even the technique is perfect!

The sound of the piano poured out like flowing water, everyone fell silent, Xuanyuan Ming's eyes did not leave Xie Wanqing for a long time.

Everyone was waiting for what happened to Xie Wanqing's remnant score, and there were those who wanted her to make a fool of herself, but when Xie Wanqing perfectly displayed the rest of the score, the emperor's face changed .

"Stop!" The emperor stopped Xie Wanqing from continuing.

Everyone was puzzled, but Concubine De looked at Concubine Cui as if she was watching a good show, and Concubine Cui was very anxious.

Xie Wanqing interrupted the sound of the piano, also a little puzzled.

The emperor looked at Xie Wanqing with extremely complicated eyes, and after a while he said: "Forget it, I don't want to hear it anymore, return to your seat!"

Speaking of which, the emperor got up and left sadly!
