Allure Ugly Concubine

Chapter 103 Qi Wenyong

As he approached, a strong aroma came to his face.

"The plum blossoms in Ximeilin are the best in this season, and they look like red clouds from a distance. Every time the servant passes by here, he can't help but stop to admire it. As a result, he was delayed in delivering things to the imperial dining room once, and returned I was fined twenty boards by Eunuch Li..." Xiao Lingzi said, stroking his butt with lingering fear.

"Hey, it's here! Look, princess."

Lin Zijiang followed Xiao Lingzi's fingers to see that the blossoming red plums were like clouds, and the flower branches of thousands of red plum trees were stacked together, really looking like red clouds.

Under the red plum tree, a man in a green shirt was sitting on the ground with his back to them, stroking the qin on his lap.The colorful falling notes seemed to be attracted by his piano sound, brushing his shoulders from time to time, and some of them jumped on the strings following the rhythm.

"Hey, isn't that Grand Tutor Qi? It turns out he's playing the piano, no wonder it sounds so good." Xiao Lingzi said excitedly.

"Teacher Qi?" Lin Zijiang's expression flashed, "It's him!"

"Why, princess, do you know Mrs. Qi?" Xiao Lingzi asked.

"I don't know him, but I want to get to know him today. Xiao Lingzi, wait for me here first, and I'll come whenever I go."

"Okay. But Wangfei, hurry up, we have to go to the prince's side."

Lin Zijiang nodded, then walked towards the person sitting in the plum grove.

"Teacher Qi is so early, it seems that I am late." Lin Zijiang said straight to the point.This time, she must seize the initiative.

Hearing this, the man who was sitting stood up holding the qin, turned around and said to Lin Zijiang: "Your Majesty Qi Wenyong, see Princess Yue."

"No need to be polite."

As the man raised his head, Lin Zijiang couldn't help gasping. ——This person is too handsome!
His handsomeness is different from Chu Yue's stunning beauty and Chu Yin's gentleness, but a maturity that radiates from the inside out.He looked to be about forty years old, but he still had sword eyebrows and star eyes, and his facial features were as handsome as sculptures.The few wrinkles at the corners of his eyes didn't affect his appearance in the slightest, but they added a mature charm that was accumulated over time.And the slightly gray temples and the beard that reminded him of his age looked more like decorations that added charm to him.

More importantly, his eyes are full of wisdom that has experienced the world, just like a shining emerald, no one can see through it.

Lin Zijiang didn't realize until he met him that a middle-aged man can be so handsome.

"It's because the official came early, and this red plum blossom is the most beautiful in the morning." Qi Wenyong raised his head, stretched out his hand and stroked the red plum blossom stretched on his forehead, and there was a look of love and compassion in his eyes.

"The Tai Tuo used the sound of the piano to lure me here, so he must have something to say to me?" Lin Zijiang asked.

However, Qi Wenyong's eyes still stayed on the red plum in front of him: "It's such a beautiful scene, I wonder if the princess will allow the next official to finish playing this song."

"Um... please." Lin Zijiang said helplessly.Although she was a little impatient, how could she refuse such a request?Why!It seems that she still failed to grasp the initiative.

With permission, Qi Wenyong immediately sat cross-legged on the ground, put the piano on his knees, twisted his fingers, and started to play lightly.

At first, the sound of the zither was as slow as a clear spring, touching my ears, as if trying to melt people into it.But then, it began to rush, and the strings were loose and roaring, which made Lin Zijiang's heart tremble violently.For a moment, she felt that there were many noises in her ears, as if many people were whispering in her ears, telling stories about her joy or sorrow.

Generally speaking, music is a kind of inner expression, and the purpose of playing is to let the audience feel his inner emotions and understand the stories in his heart.But Qi Wenyong's piano sound seemed to be telling many kinds of stories, but those stories seemed to have nothing to do with this piano player, making people unable to feel his feelings at all.

As the sound of the piano became more and more urgent, Lin Zijiang also felt more and more uncomfortable.She felt that every sound of the piano seemed to be hitting her brain waves, and her soul was about to be separated from her body!

"Don't play any more!" Lin Zijiang finally couldn't help shouting.

After saying that, she became unsteady and slumped to the ground.

Seeing this, Qi Wenyong immediately stopped his fingers, supported Lin Zijiang and asked, "Princess, what's wrong with you?"

"I feel my head...so dizzy." Lin Zijiang rubbed his temples and said.

"Your official knows a little bit about medicine, let me feel your pulse." As he said, he had already lightly pressed his fingertips on Lin Zijiang's wrist.

"Insufficient qi, deficiency of qi and blood, combined with overwork recently, that's why dizziness appears. Did the princess suffer from a serious illness before?" Qi Wenyong asked.

"Serious illness?" Could it be that the real Lin Zijiang suffered from the root cause of his illness when he committed suicide before?But why has she never had such symptoms before?And she always felt that the reason why she was dizzy was because of the sound of the piano.But the innocent face of this person in front of her, as if she really didn't know, made her a little shaken.

"But I didn't suffer from any serious illness? I was fine before, and I never experienced dizziness." Lin Zijiang said.

"The general disease has an incubation period. It may not have occurred before, but it will not be sure in the future. Judging from the pulse of the princess, your blood has been deficient for a long time. If this continues, I am afraid that you will often suffer from it in the future." Attack, if you are not careful, you will fall to the root of the disease. I suggest that the princess should go back and drink some ephedra soup, and eat more food that nourishes qi and blood."

"Ephedra soup? Isn't this the simplest soup? I thought that Ganoderma lucidum and ginseng were needed to nourish the body." Lin Zijiang said.

Hearing this, Qi Wenyong chuckled slightly: "Ganoderma lucidum and ginseng are naturally good supplements, but the patients who are sent down to officials are usually poor people, so they are used to prescribing the most economical but effective medicines. So This is the first reaction, please don't be offended by the princess."

"How could it be? It's just that I didn't expect you to be so good. Not only can you play the piano well, but you also know medical skills?" Lin Zijiang praised.

"It's just superficial, and it won't be useful on weekdays. But I can only open free clinics in Xicheng on the fifteenth of every month. It's worthwhile thinking of using my little medical skills to benefit the people." Taifu Qi said modestly.

"I didn't expect you, Taifu, to have such a heart for the people. It's really a blessing for the people of Chu State, and I really admire it." This admiration, Lin Zijiang, came from the heart.When other officials in the imperial court were thinking about the way of officialdom and how to please the emperor, this person actually put down his dignity to do things for the common people, which is really rare.

"My concubine is serious. Huai Min can't talk about it, I just tried my best. Besides, I'm old and I can't do many things. That's why I pin my hopes on you, my concubine..."

"Me? What can I do... By the way, you asked the prince to recognize me as a teacher, right? Why?" Lin Zijiang asked.

Qi Wenyong took a breath, and replied slowly: "Because I hope that someone can educate the prince well. Let him become a talent, and he will become a wise king of Chu in the future. But I can't do it myself, so I found someone for him. A teacher who can help him must have fulfilled his duty as an uncle."

"You are the prince's uncle? Then you belong to the empress..." Lin Zijiang's tone was a little surprised.

"Yes, the queen is my sister."
