Reborn Lady's Scheming

Chapter 46 What's wrong with the emperor

"Farewell to the emperor!" The bewildered crowd had no choice but to kneel down to send the emperor off, but none of them knew what happened, they were still intoxicated by the sound of Xie Wanqing's piano!
A group of people were left looking at each other, Concubine De and Concubine Cui were a little confused, because there was nothing wrong with Xie Wanqing's piano sound, on the contrary, she played it very well.

Even Concubine De had to admit that Xie Wanqing lived up to her reputation!But in terms of face, Concubine De still wanted to tease Concubine Cui Guifei a few words.

"Sister Concubine, the Emperor is not happy? He said it was to add to the fun, but it actually ruined the Emperor's joy. Hey... It's a sin!"

Concubine Cui Gui didn't know what was wrong with Xie Wanqing's piano sound, and she couldn't refute Concubine De's words.

The most embarrassing thing was Xie Wanqing, even she didn't know what happened.

"Wan'er, you come with me!" Concubine Cui Guifei said and relieved Xie Wanqing's siege.

Xie Wanqing got up and left with Concubine Cui.

When she came to the pavilion where she was resting, Xie Wanqing quickly apologized and said, "Auntie, did Wan'er do something wrong?"

Concubine Cui shook her head and said, "How did you get this score?"

Xie Wanqing said: "I also accidentally listened to someone playing it, so I just wrote it down. There is no score at all!"

"This is not the score played by the former empress, but who else can make up the remnant score of Guangling's masterpiece so exquisitely, better than the former empress?"

Concubine Cui Gui was also full of doubts, she had heard the Guangling swan song by the former empress, the second half was absolutely different from what Xie Wanqing played.

Xie Wanqing was also taken aback for a moment, she always thought that her score was written by the former queen, but it turned out not to be?
"Auntie, is the sheet music of the Empress different from what I played just now?" Xie Wanqing asked nervously.

Concubine Cui nodded, and said: "It's not the same, but judging from the emperor's reaction just now, he should have heard of your score!"

Xie Wanqing thought to herself, I'm afraid it's not just as simple as hearing it, this score may also be composed by someone close to the emperor, but the former empress's Guangling swan song has always been loved by people, but no one knows the song composed by this person !

Concubine Cui saw that Xie Wanqing was frowning and thought she was afraid, so she comforted her: "Don't worry about Wan'er, the emperor may just think of an old friend, and won't blame you for it!"

"Well, Wan'er is just worried about causing trouble for my aunt!" Xie Wanqing sighed softly. The reason why she played this song just now was actually very disturbed in her heart. Concubine.

But I didn't expect that the sound of the piano was correct, but it brought up something unknown in the emperor's heart!
Concubine Cui shook her head and said: "You don't have to worry about me, I have not been with the emperor for a day or two, I can still think about the emperor's thoughts, the emperor is a wise king, and he will not anger others at will!"

Xie Wanqing asked: "Auntie doesn't know who wrote the score I just played?"

"I don't know!" Concubine Cui Gui had a look of sadness on her brows, who could make the emperor show that expression?

While talking, Quan Gonggong, the chief eunuch next to the emperor, came over and said, "Your Majesty, the Emperor has gone to Yicui Garden, do you want to go and have a look?"

Concubine Cui glanced at Xie Wanqing, Xie Wanqing hurriedly said: "Auntie, go and do your work, I'll be fine by myself later!"

"Well, be careful yourself!" Concubine Cui Gui greeted, and followed Eunuch Quan to Yicui Garden.

Xie Wanqing didn't go back to the banquet, but sat down in the pavilion. If she goes back now, she will definitely be ridiculed by those uneasy and kind. She is not afraid of them, but she doesn't want to ask for trouble.

Xie Wanqing just wanted to take a break, but heard footsteps behind her, turned her head, and found that it was King Jing who had come.

Xie Wanqing hurriedly stood up and saluted, and said, "My daughter, send my respects to the lord!"

King Jing nodded, sat silently at the place where Xie Wanqing had just sat, then pointed to the seat beside him, and said, "Sit down!"

Xie Wanqing was a little at a loss, this is the imperial palace, is it a bit unreasonable for her to talk to King Jing here alone?

While hesitating, King Jing said, "Where did you learn that tune?"

Xie Wanqing hesitated for a while before saying, "It's an honor to meet a court musician who once served the late empress!"

King Jing frowned slightly, and asked, "Are you sure you served the former queen?"

"Well, it shouldn't be wrong!" Xie Wanqing said, but now she knew that the court musician must have taught her the wrong score on purpose.

As for the reason, she didn't know, after all, there was nowhere to find the trace of that person.

King Jing was silent for a long time, his expression looked a bit lonely and sad, Xie Wanqing didn't know what was wrong with him, so it was inconvenient to ask.

In the end, it was King Jing himself who said, "That's the song composed by the concubine mother!"

Xie Wanqing was stunned for a moment before realizing who King Jing was talking about!

It is said that King Jing Xuanyuanjue is the emperor's most beloved son, but few people mention his biological mother.

In fact, it's not really a taboo, but everyone seems to have a tacit understanding, never mentioning the magnificent woman who was famous in the Shun Dynasty back then.

The reason why I didn't mention it is probably because Xianfei was a princess of the former dynasty, and she entered the palace and became one of the four concubines even though she had a national enmity with the emperor. Although she died in just two or three years, But from now on in the harem, among the four concubines, the only one who has never been replaced is the "virtuous concubine".

Until a hundred years after the emperor, there was only one virtuous concubine, and even Cui Guifei, who was the most favored in the harem, was easily replaced by others.

She thought, in the emperor's heart, Concubine Xian must also be a special existence, right?Although the world said that the emperor and the former empress were the ones who loved each other deeply, they would never change until death!
But judging from the emperor's performance just now, in his heart, Concubine Xian is indeed not a fleeting beauty in the harem!

Xie Wanqing hesitated for a while before opening her mouth and said: "I'm sorry, I didn't know it was composed by the Concubine Xian. If there is any offense, please forgive me, Your Highness!"

King Jing shook his head and said, "You play very well!"

"Thank you for your praise!" Xie Wanqing said.

King Jing looked at Xie Wanqing, and asked, "If given the chance, would you like to play this piece for me?"

Xie Wanqing was stunned for a moment, and then said: "If the lord is interested, it's my daughter's honor!"

King Jing got up silently, walked out of the pavilion, and suddenly turned back, saying: "You don't have to worry about Father, you have done nothing wrong tonight!"

Xie Wanqing showed a surprised expression, and wanted to say something, but King Jing had already walked away quickly.

In the end, she was the only one left in the pavilion, and Xie Wanqing felt a little lost. How many women's lives were buried in this huge harem?
Sighing, he walked out of the pavilion, but within a few steps, he met Xuanyuan Ming.

Xie Wanqing suppressed the disgust in her heart, saluted politely, and wanted to leave with an excuse.

But Xuanyuan Ming didn't seem to intend to let her go, but asked: "Miss Xie, can I take a step to speak?"

Xie Wanqing wanted to refuse, but Xuanyuanming had already walked into the pavilion first, and it seemed that there was no chance for her to refuse.

Xie Wanqing had no choice but to follow him in, thinking about how to deal with Xuanyuanming later.
