imperial concubine

Chapter 128
Not long after returning from Kunning Palace, Su Wan received an invitation from the Second Prince's Concubine, saying that the Second Prince's love for music became obsessive, and after hearing the sound of Su Wan's piano in Kunning Palace just now, he was astonished.If Su Wan is free, I would like to invite her to Shangjin Palace, where the two of them can compete.

Seeing the eunuch kneeling in front of her, Su Wan nodded to the fourth prince, "Since the second prince concubine invited me, Su Wan is naturally free. Go back and tell the second prince concubine that Su Wan will definitely go to visit at today's time."

The fourth prince watched the eunuch retreat, and looked at Su Wan with admiration, "Sir, you are really talented. The behavior of the second prince's concubine is exactly the same as what you said to me just now, I am so impressed."

After returning from Kunning Palace just now, Su Wan made all plans for the four princes in the palace in the future.When the fourth prince asked about the most important thing being to join forces with the second prince, Su Wan said confidently that the second prince and concubine would take the initiative to invite him in a short time.

The actions of the second concubine were already expected by Su Wan. She looked at the fourth prince and said, "Your Highness, don't be too surprised. Although Concubine Shu is powerful in the harem, after all, the queen is the master of the six palaces. If she wants to To compete with the queen, one must win over everyone possible, so it is inevitable that the second prince and concubine will be invited, but it is only a matter of time."

Although Su Wan said it lightly, the Fourth Prince knew that if he hadn't been someone who had a deep understanding of the situation in the harem, he would definitely not have such an opinion.It seems that my decision in Huo's Bieyuan was really wise.

There are a lot of things going on in Yiliang Palace, and before you know it, it's Shenshi.Su Wan came to Shangjin Palace on a chariot, but saw that the second prince had already received the report, and was waiting with the second prince and concubine in front of the palace gate.

When the chariot came to a complete stop, Su Wan hurriedly came down and saluted the two of them, "The second prince and concubine are here to welcome you in person. Su Wan is really terrified."

According to the palace rules, Su Wan is the second prince's younger sibling; judging from the power in the palace, the second prince is currently the only one who can compete with the prince, and the two of them don't need to be so serious no matter what.

The second prince smiled and said: "It's okay, today I want to see your brother and sister, your amazing piano skills. If it wasn't for your second sister-in-law's persuasion, I would still send someone to Yiliang Palace to pick you up!"

Although the second prince is obsessed with rhythm, he is naturally not an ordinary person who can compete with the prince in the harem.Just now, what he said was very measured, and he cleverly covered up the fact that the second concubine wanted to win over Su Wan with the way of exchanging music.

The second concubine standing on the side smiled and said: "Sister, don't take offense. He will be so crazy when he hears the unpleasant melody in the world. If you scare my sister, please ask her to be more sympathetic."

Su Wan said with a smile: "Second brother is obsessed with rhythm, my sister has heard about it before entering the palace. Today, with such an astonishing move, my sister is delighted to get rid of her fear. Why would you say something strange?"

The three exchanged a few words at the door, and then walked into the main hall together.The hall is simple and elegant, but it is very agreeable to the second prince who likes music.The incense has already been burned in the incense burner, and the musicians in the palace are also ready to stop.

As soon as he entered the palace, the second prince couldn't wait to say to Su Wan: "I heard a song from my brother and sister in Kunning Palace today, which made my heart itch. Now that my sister is coming to my palace, how about playing a song together now?"

Although she knew that the second prince was not simple, Su Wan saw the fanatical expression on his face, but she didn't know how much of this obsession with rhythm was real, and how much of it was deliberately pretended for her to see.

The second prince and concubine on one side scolded the second prince, "You are a real person. Sister Wan just came from the Yiliang Palace, and you have to drag her to play the piano before you can rest. I have never seen such a rude master like you." Family!"

The second prince smiled at Su Wan embarrassedly.Today, after listening to Su Wan's song in Kunning Palace, she felt a little impatient when she came back, so she urged the second concubine to invite Su Wan.When I saw Su Wan just now, I only thought about playing the piano in my heart, but forgot about the others.

Seeing the second prince's smile, Su Wan said: "It's okay. Since the second brother wants to listen, Wan'er will accompany the second brother to play a song. I wonder what the second brother wants to play?"

He has just entered the palace, the second prince will not have any plans for him for the time being.What I said just now is that I want to talk about a piece of music, but I guess I also want to play a piece of music with myself.

Hearing Su Wan's agreement, the smile on the second prince's face became even brighter, "Thank you, brother and sister. Before my brother and sister came today, I had already thought about it. Since we are playing together with such superb piano skills as my brother and sister, why not choose "Bijian Liuquan" "how?"

Su Wan nodded. It seems that the second prince really put in a lot of effort when he came here today.This "Bijian Liuquan" is a famous song in the piano, and it will not be supplemented by others, it is suitable for the two to play together today.

So Su Wan went to the piano and plucked the strings lightly to test the rhythm.Seeing Su Wan nodding his head, the second prince reached out to pick up a long flute and motioned for the musicians behind him to play.

The sound of the piano is curling, and the sound of the flute is fluttering.Empty mountains and flowing springs, contented and leisurely.At the end of the song, the second concubine clapped her hands with a smile and praised: "Sister Wan really plays the piano well. Today I can count as a feast for my ears."

Just now, when he played a song with the second prince, Su Wan discovered that the second prince's attainments in music and temperament are also very deep.Although my piano skills are excellent, the second prince's compatibility with me is just right, so there is such an outstanding effect.

Thinking of this, Su Wan stood up and said, "Sister-in-law is amazing. The sound of the flute played by the second brother is much higher than that of Wan'er. If it weren't for playing with the second brother today, Wan'er alone would not be able to play such a charm of."

The second concubine came here today, no doubt she wanted to win her over.That's why he was so condescending, he didn't hesitate to do what he liked, and let the second prince play a song with him.However, she is not as innocent as the second concubine thought.

The second prince sat next to the second prince and concubine and said with a smile: "Wan'er, don't be self-effacing. Although I am usually conceited, but today I will play a song with you, and I will know that there are people outside the world and others."

Su Wan said a few words modestly, and the second concubine called Su Wan to sit down, "My sister just entered the palace, is there any discomfort? If there is, just tell me. I will definitely solve it for my sister."

Hearing what the second concubine said, Su Wan knew in her heart that what the concubine had to do just now was just to deceive the queen, and what the concubine said at this time was the real purpose of her inviting herself here today.

So Su Wan nodded and said: "Thank you sister-in-law for taking care of me. My sister has just entered the palace, so she hasn't felt any discomfort yet. What's more, Wan'er has always been quiet, so I think she won't feel any discomfort in the palace."

Judging from the second prince's actions just now, the second prince's concubine must regard herself as a person who likes music very much, so she came up with such a battle to win her favor. Be that kind of person.

Sure enough, upon hearing Su Wan's words, the second concubine shook her head and said to her: "When I first entered the palace, I thought the same as my sister. It's just that there are so many trivial matters in this palace, but I can't take it easy at all."

Su Wan believed that what the second concubine said must be from the bottom of her heart.After all, she studied the books of sages and sages since she was a child, and now she is involved in the strife in the harem, she must be forced by the situation, and she has to do it as a last resort.

Seeing the helpless look on the Second Prince's Concubine's face, Su Wan frowned slightly, showing a look of surprise, "Is this so? Originally, I thought that entering this harem would definitely be very boring."

In her previous life, Su Wan was born and grew up in the palace.Naturally, one knows that in the seemingly peaceful harem, there are actually turbulent undercurrents, and if one is not careful, one's body will be crushed to pieces.However, at this time, in front of the second prince and concubine, she couldn't show any familiarity.

Seeing Su Wan was a little surprised, the second concubine sighed and said, "That's natural. Although the harem is not big, the things inside it are beyond the imagination of outsiders."

Speaking of this, the second prince and concubine felt a little bit emotional. When she entered the palace, she was just like Su Wan today.In just three short years, he has become like this.This is really something that I never thought of at the beginning.

Seeing the expression of the second princess, Su Wan knew what she was talking about, but pretended to be extremely surprised and said: "Sister-in-law, it's just trivial matters, how can you be so emotional?"

Su Wan naturally understood what the second princess said.Others can't think of it all their lives, because there are the dirtiest things in the world and the most despicable and shameless people in the world, of course others can't think of it.

Seeing Su Wan's simplicity, the second concubine picked up the tea bowl, gently blew away the tea leaves on it, and said slowly: "This harem affair is just like this cup of tea, you have to blow off the tea leaves on it before you can see it." Deepest."

According to Su Wan's words, she picked up the tea bowl in her hand and blew on it gently.The tea made by the Second Prince's Concubine today is very strong, after blowing off the top, only the tea leaves that have been soaked in water can be seen at the bottom of the teacup.

After a while, Su Wan's complexion changed a few times, then she put down the tea bowl in her hand, forced a smile and said, "My sister makes good tea. The tea in this cup must be the top-quality Yunwu tea, right?"

Although I came to seek refuge with the second prince today, if I seek refuge too quickly, not only will it not be effective, but I am afraid it will make the second prince and concubine suspicious of me, so now Su Wan can only pretend that she doesn't understand look.

The second concubine put down the teacup in her hand, nodded and said, "Sister is very knowledgeable. It's just that this tea is good, but after all, there are only one or two tea leaves that can float on the water; People throw it away."

Speaking of this, the second concubine fixed her eyes on Su Wan's face and asked: "I don't know if the fourth concubine wants to make the tea floating on the water, or the residual tea that was thrown away in the end. Woolen cloth?"

Hearing what the second concubine said, Su Wan knew that she could no longer pretend to be stupid.If it is reasonable to say that I have never thought about it in the dark before, how can I pretend that I don't understand when the words of the second prince and concubine are already so explicit?

Even though I have just entered the palace, after all, I have read a lot of poetry and books before, so how could I not know how dark things in the harem are?At this time, the second princess asked this question, thinking that she wanted to force herself to express her opinion.

So the color on Su Wan's face changed, and she said to the second princess: "Wan'er naturally doesn't want to be that remnant tea. Dare I ask the second prince, how can I prevent myself from becoming a remnant tea?"

Hearing Su Wan's words, the second princess nodded.It's not because I forced Su Wan to show his attitude, but because from what Su Wan said just now, the second princess heard that Su Wan didn't have much ambition, but just didn't want to be a remnant of tea.

Thinking of this, the second concubine smiled and said: "If my sister doesn't want to make that residual tea, the best way is to make the water for making tea!" The second concubine looked at Su Wan with piercing eyes and said, "As long as you make water, Not only will it not be thrown away as residual tea, but even the best tea leaves must be soaked in water, if you want her to drink, she must drink it, if you want her to drink it, you can let her drink it!"

Su Wan lowered her head slightly when she heard what the second princess said, as if she was thinking carefully.
