Rebirth of the silly girl Chengfei

Chapter 31

Concubine Shi's weird smile froze, she looked at Xiao Sesu, somehow felt as if she saw another soul from her.It was a vicissitudes, resentment, and strong and unyielding soul, with indescribable shocking power.This feeling made Concubine Shi feel strange, thinking to herself what she was doing to scare herself, now is obviously a good time to punish this fool.

"Okay, I agree to your condition." Shi Fangfei said: "Then let's talk about the content of the competition now."

"The content is up to you."

This time Luyi couldn't hold on any longer, grabbed Xiao Sesel, and shouted loudly: "Master Shanzong! Where are you, Master Shanzong! These people are bullying the princess!"

"Miss Luyi, stop shouting, I'm here all the time." Unexpectedly, Shan Zong walked out from behind a tree of white plum blossoms, with a smile in the corner of his eyes, which didn't reach the bottom of his eyes, but there was a sharp light in his eyes.

Luyi complained: "Master Shanzong, why have you been hiding behind the plum tree for so long and haven't come out? Miss is being bullied by them!"

Shan Zong smiled cheerfully: "Wangfei wants to compete with Concubine Shi, how can the next guard intervene. Besides, the prince is not in the mansion right now, Miss Luyi, please be calm and don't be impatient."

"Master Shanzong, you... you are so disrespectful!"

"Luyi, sit down." Xiao Sesu pointed to the stone stool, and then said to Concubine Shi: "Competition, Sister Concubine Shi, tell me, whether it is jumping a big rope or kicking a sandbag, I am very good at it." .”

Concubine Shi smiled strangely: "How about comparing musical instruments?"

Lu Yi hurriedly said: "Miss doesn't know how to play musical instruments!"

Xiao Sesu clapped his hands, "Okay, okay, it's like a musical instrument." Anxious Luyi wished she could faint on the spot.

"Shanzong." Xiao Sesu called: "Luyi is an eyesore here, let her sit on the stone stool, don't hinder my competition."

"Miss!"

"Girl Luyi, please." Shan Zong came to Luyi in an instant, and with vigorous movements, he forced Luyi onto the stone stool.

Full of confidence, Concubine Shi summoned a maidservant and said, "Let me go first, and you bring someone to bring my kite here."

"Yes." The maid blessed her body and hurried away.

Just now the concubine who spoke bitterly said: "Since there is a competition, there should be a winner or loser. There should be a referee, so that the princess will be convinced to lose."

Lu Yi hurriedly said: "Master Shan Zong is the referee!"

The concubine said: "Lord Shanzong is very close to the concubine, I'm afraid he won't be able to be the referee."

"you……"

"Miss Luyi, be safe and don't be impatient." Shan Zong's star pupils smiled, "Today there is a distinguished guest in the front hall, who is waiting for the prince to return to the mansion. I will invite her to be the referee. How about the princess and everyone?"

"Oh? Who is she?" The concubine asked.

"It's the Jade Soul Empress of the current dynasty."

Empress Jade Soul?Xiao Sesu immediately thought of the woman who appeared by the river with Yu Qinghan on the day Xiao Zui was soaked in a pig cage.That should be Yupo Emperor Ji. As a princess, it is not easy for her to leave the palace. She came to her cousin's house alone, but what's the rush?

Taking advantage of the time when Concubine Shi's maidservant was carrying the zither, Shan Zong also went to the front hall and invited Yupo Emperor Ji, who was indeed the woman Xiao Sesu had guessed.

She was wearing a crimson moon dress and a cloak full of stars. There were not many pearl accessories on the dress. The overall look was simple and elegant, without losing the extravagance.

Empress Yupo smiled, with bright eyes and bright teeth, "Princess Jin, Concubine Shi, Master Shanzong has already told me what happened. I don't know you two. I will be the referee. You can rest assured to discuss."

"Thank you, Empress Yupo, for your appreciation." Concubine Shi blessed her body with flattering eyes.The Yupo Emperor Ji of the current dynasty is the most talented of all the daughters of Emperor Tianying, and she is proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.Concubine Shi thought, this imperial concubine must be able to tell how superb her zither skills are.

After waiting for a while, the maid brought up Concubine Shi's zither.

Concubine Shi sat in front of the zither, put on fake horn nails, first tested the sound, and then played with the strings.

It has to be said that Concubine Shi's zither skills are top-notch, with skilled fingering and excellent craftsmanship.

She played the song "Slow Voice", and the spring breeze was full of flowers and moons under her ten fingers.Xiao Sesu listened quietly, calmly.

It was just a song, and all the concubines and concubines hurriedly cheered and praised, and some people praised: "Sister Shi plays the zither really well, I have never heard such a good one since I was a child."

Concubine Shi was proud of herself, but in front of Yupo Emperor Ji, she showed a humble attitude, "Sister, don't praise me, I'm just trying to get rid of me, and I hope Yupo Emperor Ji can give me some pointers."

Yupo Emperor Ji smiled brightly, "I think, let's evaluate together after Princess Jin also plays the music."

Concubine Shi quickly looked at Xiao Sesel, "Then please ask the concubine to send someone to fetch the musical instrument, is it heavy or not, but do you need the concubine's maid to help?"

Hearing that she called herself a "concubine", Xiao Sesel smiled faintly, knowing that she made it for Empress Yupo, she didn't point it out, and said, "I'll just carry the instrument with me."

Lifting off the fur cloak, Xiao Sesu took out the insect flute from the sewn bag, "This is my musical instrument, it sounds so good, I'll play it for you."

The side concubines and concubines were momentarily stunned, because they didn't recognize what kind of musical instrument it was, and when they saw it was an ocarina, some people chuckled.The ox horn ocarina is still cracked, where did Princess Jin pick up such an antique?

Yupo Emperor Ji was a little curious, stared at it, and murmured in a low voice: "It seems to be a musical instrument from Xiang Kingdom in ancient times."

Xiao Sesu was shocked.As expected of Jade Soul Empress Ji, she knows extraordinary things.

"Then I'll start playing." Xiao Sesu said with a silly smile, and brought the insect flute to his lips, enjoying himself.

Ocarinas have different timbres due to different materials. For example, ocarinas made of clay have a soft sound, porcelain clay is crisp and melodious, and purple sand ocarinas are bright.

However, the ancient oxhorn ocarina Xiao Sesel has a melodious and poignant tone, as if it has spanned thousands of mountains and rivers and ancient times, mysterious and distant, arousing unknown emotions in the heart.

Concubine Shi suddenly felt a little guilty, this idiot really has two skills?But afraid of what she will do?This ocarina just has a strange sound, compared with his own zither skills, it is far behind.

But soon, Concubine Shi found that things were not as simple as she thought, because she heard cicadas singing.

Cicadas chirping in winter, is this an illusion?

Concubine Shi showed a suspicious expression, and then was surprised to find that similar surprises appeared on the faces of other people.

This is really winter cicadas.

Could it be haunted?

Xiao Sesu continued to play, the mysterious and melodious tune, driving the sound of cicadas to intensify.Concubine Shi and the others' expressions of astonishment deepened, their faces paled a little, and they even looked at the surrounding trees in fear, only to hear the cicadas chirping, melodious and mysterious like a piece of music, enveloping everyone.

"What... what kind of vision is this!" a timid concubine exclaimed.

Empress Yupo looked at Xiao Sesel with unbelievable eyes, and said after thinking, "It seems to be the law of rhythm arrangement in the ancient times of Xiang Kingdom..."

"Xiang Country?" Shan Zong was thoughtful.

Xiao Sesu's ten fingers were exquisite, leading the cicadas to the highest place, suddenly changed the tune, the sound gradually weakened, and the cicadas also gradually subsided like an ebb tide, until it returned to calm.

The surroundings were completely silent, and Concubine Shi's face was as white as snow.

Xiao Sesel stroked her hair foolishly, "Do you think I blow it well? It's strange, why don't I talk anymore."

Shan Zong asked: "Princess, who taught you this song?"

"I can't remember too well..." Xiao Sesu pouted stupidly, "It seems to be my mother, but she didn't know where she went a long time ago. I heard from Aunt Xue that my mother went far away. It will be a long time before I come back. Shanzong, do you think it’s because I don’t play well and my mother doesn’t want to listen to it, so I haven’t come back?”

Luyi's eyes were red, and she lowered her head and swallowed tears behind Xiao Sesu's back.When she entered Xiao's mansion, Xiao Sese's biological mother had passed away for many years, and Lu Yi didn't know what happened here, and thought that Xiao Sese's practice of the insect flute was really because of her mother.

Lu Yi is sad: Poor young lady, I don't even know that my wife is dead.

Shan Zong didn't answer Xiao Sesel, but instead said: "Cicadas sing in winter, this is the first time I have seen such a thing."

Yupo Emperor Ji smiled and said: "Whoever said that butterflies can't fly beyond the sea, and cicadas can't sing like the first snow, but I believe it."

"What Di Ji said is true." Shan Zong cupped his hands.

Xiao Sesu glanced at Concubine Shi, Concubine Shi's face was pale and bloodless, obviously she was very guilty.

But she still put on a confident smile, blessed the Jade Emperor Ji, and said: "The contest between the concubine and the princess is originally a competition performance level, and I ask the Jade Emperor Ji to give pointers."

Emperor Yupo said: "In terms of skill alone, Concubine Shi is undoubtedly better. With all due respect, Princess Jin's skill is only [-]% high."

Concubine Shi immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and the blood on her face recovered a bit.

However, Emperor Yupo laughed and said: "The melody is extensive and profound, how can we just look at skills? Skills are only a part, and the most important thing is the word 'love'. Only when there is love can people be moved, and only then can we be in harmony with nature like Princess Jin. The two become one. If there is no emotion, no matter how superb the skill is, it is just a delicate carving, and the beauty is beautiful, but there is only craftsmanship, which can only be used to entertain people."

Just as Concubine Shi breathed a sigh of relief, she tensed up again, her face turned pale again, she twisted her cuffs and forced a smile: "I will definitely keep in mind Diji's advice."

"So?" Shan Zong asked with a faint smile, "Has Di Ji already judged the winner?"

Yupo Emperor Ji nodded, looked at Xiao Sesel, with a clear and friendly smile, "I have studied rhythm and musical instruments for many years, but I have never been able to merge with nature. From this point of view, Princess Jin has already surpassed me by a lot, so this In this competition, Princess Jin is the winner."

"Emperor Jade Soul—" Concubine Shi was about to speak.

Xiao Sesel clapped his hands and smiled: "Thank you for complimenting me, I'm so happy! Lu Yi, let's go back and eat candy to celebrate."

Concubine Shi was so angry that she stared at Xiao Sesel, her eyes bursting with red light.

"No!" Xiao Sesu suddenly pointed at Concubine Shi, and said angrily, "You lost, quickly let Luyi slap you, and then jump into the lake!"

"But—" Concubine Shi hurriedly said: "The water is so cold in winter, if I let my body jump, wouldn't it kill me?"

Xiao Sesu said angrily: "You said it yourself, the loser will jump into the lake, you actually cheated, and the cheater is a puppy!"

"Princess, the concubine is just talking about it casually, just for the sake of having fun." Concubine Shi continued to smile apologetically, pretending to be pitiful, and only hoped that Emperor Ji Yupo would speak a few words for her.

Xiao Sesel said reluctantly: "Then what if I lose? Would you still say that you said it casually? You must laugh at me and insist on me jumping into the lake. Anyway, you are dishonest and don't do what you say. You are a puppy! Also, Luyi has to slap you. Luyi, you slap, Sister Shi Fangfei will not fight back!"

"Miss..." Lu Yi was moved in her heart, but shook her head and said, "Miss, Lu Yi's face doesn't hurt anymore."

Xiao Sesel said: "It's good if it doesn't hurt, then you will have more strength to beat people."

Concubine Shi burst into anger, "Xiao Sesu, you..."

Lu Yi hurriedly said: "Miss, let's forget it, how can a slave beat a master!"

Xiao Sesu knew that it wasn't that Lu Yi didn't want to fight back, but that she didn't want Concubine Shi to remember her revenge.Having been with Luyi for so long, Xiao Sesu has let go of her guard, knowing that Luyi is a loyal girl, and with such a person who protects herself, she can't let her suffer.

"Lu Yi, you are so cowardly, then let me do it." Xiao Sesu raised his hand, and slapped Concubine Shi's face hard.

"Xiao Sesu, you hateful fool!" Concubine Shi covered her face, not choosing what to say.

Empress Yupo stared at Concubine Shi with displeasure, and sneered in her heart: as hypocritical as Xiao Ke!
After Xiao Sesu withdrew his hand, he avoided Concubine Shi's slap back and took advantage of the situation to hold Concubine Shi's wrist. The corners of his lips were still smiling silly, but his eyes were cold and gloomy.

"Sister Shi Fangfei, you are the one who wants to compete with me, and I am willing to bet and admit defeat."

"You..." Concubine Shi didn't finish her sentence when Xiao Sesu raised her leg and kicked her directly.

"Ah!" Concubine Shi screamed, and was kicked off the lake by Xiao Sesu.
