Chapter 382 Miscalculation! (1)
"Mother, Sun Defu said that the Qushui Liushang has been arranged." Xiang Cheng'er reminded softly beside her.

Han Qian came back to her senses, turned her head and saw Sun Defu who was waiting beside him, and Sun Defu took out a folded album from his sleeve and offered it with both hands, "This is the menu drawn up by the slave, please have a look at it, Madam."

"Tea, snacks, dishes, etc. must be carefully taken care of, and the rest just follow the usual practice." Han Qian didn't take it.

"Yes." Sun Defu hurriedly replied.

Han Qian thought for a while, then asked, "Where's Miss Yao?"

"Miss Yao and Miss Xiao are resting at Sufangxuan." Sun Defu bowed and replied, "Today, the empress said she wanted Miss Yao to play piano with Miss Gu and Miss Su, and Miss Yao just removed the maid who was close to her and went back to fetch Yao." Qin, do nothing else."

"Yes, I see. You can go down." Han Qian nodded.

Sun Defu retreated together, and Xiang Cheng'er looked at Han Qian's face, and asked in a low voice, "Ma'am, Miss Yao has always been quite sensible."

"That's right. Miss Yao is quite sensible, and she's also a relative of Madam Ninghou." Han Qian smiled slightly.

After hearing this, Xiangcheng knew that the Empress knew what she was thinking, so she didn't say any more words to persuade her.

The layout of Qushui Liushang is a small water-based landscape built in imitation of the ancients' game of drinking and poetry.

Because he wanted to listen to piano music and have a banquet, Sun Defu asked someone to prepare an exquisite painting boat.The interior of the boat is carefully arranged, with banquets, sitting ups, washing, changing clothes, etc. all in good order, and a couch is specially placed at the bow of the boat for those who play the piano.

In the evening, Yao Pingting, Xiao Lianqing, Wei Xiyue, Han Jin, Su Lan, Gu Ningshuang and others were all present.

Afterwards, the emperor and empress came hand in hand, and everyone stood by the water and knelt down in unison: "The courtiers see the emperor, and the empress."

"Get up." Yun Shuo raised his eyes to look at the water, but he saw the vast mist, the green lotus, and the gorgeous haze flowing into the water like a plate of severe colors, dyeing the water into a gorgeous haze color.

The painting boat slowly docked, and after the emperor supported the queen's hand to board the painting boat, all the women followed in.

The emperor and empress sat down, and all the daughters also took their seats.

Han Qian glanced at the crowd below, and glanced at Yaoqin beside Yao Pingting, Su Lan, and Gu Ningshuang. Fang chuckled and said, "Tonight we will mainly listen to the piano. If you have any other good ideas If you have an idea, you might as well take it out and let everyone have fun together.”

All the women are blessed.

Yun Shuo urged impatiently: "In this case, let's have a feast." After speaking, he leaned closer to Han Qian and whispered in Han Qian's ear, "I'm hungry."

Han Qian smiled lightly and told Sun Defu: "Then let's start the banquet! The dishes are ready to serve."

Sun Defu sang in unison, and the court ladies filed in, serving cold dishes, hot dishes, soups, etc. one by one.

As His Majesty the Emperor, Yun Shuo naturally didn't care about the three sevens and twenty ones, he just picked up the chopsticks to eat, and picked up the wine glass to drink, and he didn't care about what girl was playing what music.

The purpose of coming here tonight is just to have dinner with the empress. His Majesty the Emperor has always disliked the piano and the music.If someone competes in riding and archery, maybe he can still take a look at it.

"You three, who will come first?" Han Qian asked with a smile.

Su Lan has the title of princess, so she naturally has the priority, but she got up and replied: "Su Lan's piano skills are average, so I dare not take the lead. Sister Yao and Sister Gu should go first."

In any competition, no one wants to be the first.After listening to Su Lan's words, Gu Ningshuang also replied: "Ningshuang is humble, so naturally she doesn't dare to preempt Princess Su and Sister Yao."

After hearing what the two said, Yao Pingting picked up the Yaoqin at hand and got up, and said to the emperor and the empress: "Since Princess Su and Miss Gu both want to be the finale, then Pingting will make a fool of herself first."

Yao Pingting generously hugged Yaoqin and got up, went to the outer deck of the cabin, sat cross-legged in front of the small desk, and put the Yaoqin in her hand on the desk.

When the piano sounded, everyone in the cabin fell silent.

Especially Gu Ningshuang and Su Lan, they even forgot to drink the tea, they just sat there holding the teacup and appreciating it carefully, thinking about how to be better later.

However, Yao Pingting's piano playing is really casual, she seems to have picked it up easily, and it seems to have happened by accident. The tune is also the song "Friends" that Gu Ningshuang played last night.

If Gu Ningshuang's song "Friends" last night was the gorgeous Qiuju, Yao Pingting's song tonight is Sujie's hosta.

Compared with Gu Ningshuang's gorgeous piano skills, Yao Pingting's song has no piano skills at all.But it is precisely this unpretentious piano sound that further interprets the rarity of "friends".

As the saying goes, the friendship between gentlemen is as light as water, and the friendship between villains is sweet.

Tonight, the song "Friends" is flowing on the strings of Yao Pingting's fingertips, abandoning the meaning that everyone gave to this song before, and only becoming her, her bosom friend of Yao Pingting.

People around the banquet were captured by the sound of the piano.Only the emperor didn't seem to hear it at all, he ate and drank what he should eat, completely immersed in the delicious food in front of him.

At the end of the song, Yun Shuo just put down his chopsticks.Wu Miao beside him hastily stepped forward to serve the soup.

Han Qian asked with a smile, "What do you think of this song, Your Majesty?"

Yun Shuo took a sip of the kelp pigeon soup that Wu Miao handed over, and said thoughtfully, "Not bad. The heat of the soup seems to be quite accurate. It's not too old or too old. It's just right."

Everyone couldn't help laughing when they heard it, the queen asked about Yao Pingting's piano music, but the emperor said the soup!

Gu Ningshuang frowned slightly, feeling a bad premonition in her heart, but Su Lan's face showed a look of sarcasm, and she glanced at the door of the cabin with disdain, as if she wanted to cast cold eyes at Yao Ping through the bead curtain. Ting about.

"Since you think it's good, Your Majesty should use it more." Han Qian advised.

"I'm ready. The ministers at the Qingfeng Mingyue Pavilion are still busy, and I have to take a step first." Yun Shuo took the handkerchief and wiped the corners of his mouth, and said in a low voice: "I've been working hard for days. The queen should not play too late, go back to rest earlier."

After finishing speaking, His Majesty put down the handkerchief in his hand, and stood up to leave.

Han Qian also stood up and said, "Respectfully send off Your Majesty."

All the girls also got up and left the table one after another, kowtowed and kowtowed, saying in unison: "Respectfully send off Your Majesty."

Su Lan and Gu Ningshuang knelt down together with the crowd, sighing silently, unable to hide the endless disappointment in their hearts.Both of them wanted to show off their talents in front of the emperor, but unexpectedly the emperor didn't even listen and left.

Yun Shuo stepped out of the cabin, glanced at Yao Pingting kneeling under the moonlight, paused slightly, nodded and said, "You play the piano well." Then he left.
