When Concubine Xian heard the previous sentence, she felt a little happy in her heart. Hearing the last sentence, the smile froze on his face again, but it returned to normal in an instant.
"How can I make you bear the pain and give up my love? But I am curious about your reasons. Is the piano broken?"
She looked at Su Qingyu inquiringly. She wouldn't say that the piano was broken just because she couldn't bear to part with it, right?
Su Qingyu shook her head and said: "The piano is not broken, it is intact. It's just that the reason is difficult to say in public. Can I tell the empress secretly?"
Concubine Xian naturally agreed. When Su Qingyu said this, she became even more curious.
Su Qingyu walked to Concubine Xian, leaned over and spoke in her ear in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
"These days, Third Master and I have been practicing playing together on Luqi, and this zither has been kept in the bedroom."
"Third Master also said that day that this piano can be considered as our... bedroom fun object."
When Su Qingyu said this, her voice lowered a little. At the end, her voice was as soft as a mosquito, and she was shy and difficult to speak.
"I thought, if I give this piano to the Concubine Xian again, it would be a great disrespectful sin."
Su Qingyu's words made Concubine Xian blush, and she couldn't help but think of the scene where she and the emperor played the piano together in the bedroom.
He smiled and said to Su Qingyu, "You newlyweds have a good relationship. Go back and sit down. I just want to ask."
Su Qingyu went back and sat down again, then turned around and asked Su Shunci beside her in a low voice, "It's your first time entering the palace, are you nervous?"
Su Shunci shook her head, "Third cousin said, I just need to be myself. An occasion like the palace banquet can also exercise my ability to deal with others and adapt to changes in situations."
Su Qingyu:......
The third cousin was kind-hearted and even taught her younger sister.
Since Concubine Xian came in, Su Xiangling has been observing quietly. After thinking about it, she felt that Concubine Xian should know about the fate. As long as Concubine Xian believed it half a bit, she could enter the East Palace, and the road ahead would be easy.
But how to let the Concubine know about this was a difficult problem. She couldn't tell the Concubine directly that she was born under the Phoenix Fate. Speaking through someone else's mouth? It seemed a bit deliberate and inferior.
Su Xiangling pinched the purse around her waist and couldn't help but feel happy when she remembered the contents of the hexagram.
After everyone had finished their performances, Concubine Rong asked the young ladies and young men to go boating and pick lotus seeds to eat in the middle of the bright pond.
Su Shunci and Shen Yue went to play, while Su Qingyu and several other ladies accompanied the two empresses to talk.
Su Xiangling also sat aside, listening to everyone talking about the gossip in the capital. Even if she couldn't get a word in, she didn't move.
Su Qingyu was a little curious, why did Su Xiangling enter samadhi with the old monk today? At this time, shouldn't she be on good terms with these noble ladies in Beijing? When she was in Qianzhou, she had a heated relationship with those official ladies.
It wasn't until Concubine Xian stood up and said she was going to change her clothes that Su Xiangling got up and followed her. Su Qingyu finally understood.
It seems that Su Xiangling is aiming for the position of Concubine Xian, but the He family already has a daughter entering the Eastern Palace. Do Second Uncle and Second Aunt want to send Su Xiangling in as well?
Su Qingyu stood up and followed Su Xiangling not far or close behind.
Since Concubine Xian is now in charge of the harem, Su Xiangling naturally cannot get close to her, so she has been wandering outside the hall where Concubine Xian changes her clothes.
Su Qingyu was standing behind a bush not far away, watching Su Xiangling throw a purse into the grass.
Not long after, Concubine Xian came out surrounded by the maids and chamberlains.
Su Xiangling pretended not to notice Concubine Xian coming out and was still looking for something.
Until a palace maid coughed lightly and said, "Who is this person in front of you? Why don't you greet the virtuous concubine?"
Su Xiangling was startled, and then knelt on the ground in fear.
"Your Majesty, I forgive you. I didn't mean to offend you."
Concubine Xian had no impression of Su Xiangling and guessed that it was a young lady from a certain family attending the lotus banquet today.
Then he asked: "Which family are you from? What are you looking for?"
Su Xiangling answered respectfully, "Returning to the Concubine Xian, my daughter is Su Xiangling, the daughter of the Su family of the Marquis of Pingning. She just returned to Beijing from Qianzhou with her father and mother a few days ago. My daughter is looking for a purse, and that purse concerns me. Women’s lives.”
Concubine Xian just asked casually, but when she heard what she said, she became somewhat interested.
"Oh? Why does it involve your life?" He then ordered the people around him, "You all also help to look for it."
For a moment, everyone around Concubine Xian bent down and started looking for her on the grass.
Su Xiangling started to explain, "Inside that purse is a hexagram written by an expert from outside the world. I can't understand the hexagram, but I remember what the expert said. He said that if the hexagram is lost, my life will be at risk. ”
In fact, the last sentence was made up by Su Xiangling. The purpose was to arouse the interest of the Concubine Xian, so that she could see with her own eyes the hexagram written by the expert.
Sure enough, Concubine Xian became more interested when she heard this. There was little new news in the palace and there was little fun. It was rare for someone to say something that interested her.
Soon, Su Xiangling's purse was found by a little palace maid.
The little palace maid respectfully handed the purse to Concubine Xian. Concubine Xian opened the purse and found a short bamboo slip inside.
There are two lines of words engraved on it: The Phoenix returns to the north, soaring straight up to the ninth heaven.
Concubine Xian's expression changed, and she looked at Su Xiangling inquiringly.
"That person can tell you, what does this hexagram mean?"
Su Xiangling shook her head, "He didn't say anything. He only said that after waiting for many years, this hexagram was finally born."
Concubine Xian stared at Su Xiangling for a long time and saw that she didn't look like she was lying. Then he handed the purse over again and said, "Put it away. Don't lose it again."
After thinking for a while, he said: "You can help me go back."
Su Xiangling was overjoyed, walked up to Concubine Xian, held her arm and walked towards the waterside pavilion.
Su Qingyu didn't hear clearly what the two said, but what was certain was that Concubine Xian changed her attitude towards Su Xiangling because she saw Su Xiangling's purse.
She took a deep look at Su Xiangling's waist, then turned and walked back.
Afraid that the people around Concubine Xian would notice the clues, she deliberately took a detour to the side. When she returned, she heard Concubine Xian praising Su Xiangling.
"I just met this girl from the Su family on the road and chatted for a few words. This girl's temperament is exactly the same as mine."
Concubine Xian finished speaking to Concubine Rong, then turned to look at Su Xiangling, "In the future, come into the palace to talk to me more often. You'll like this look."
Su Xiangling knew that this move was the right one, and she lowered her head shyly, "Yes, I obey my order, thank you for your love."
When Shen Yue, Su Shunci and others returned from rowing, Concubine Rong ordered lunch to be served again.
The ladies of the aristocratic family who didn't know why were surprised to find that the second young lady of the Su family had become a popular figure around the Concubine Xian.
After the lunch was over, the two ladies rewarded them with materials and jewelry. Su Xiangling also received the most rewards, which attracted everyone's attention.
In the Zhaohua Palace, Concubine Xian's slender hands were soaked in warm water with rose juice.
The eldest palace maid Jinxiu who was waiting on the side asked softly: "My Lady, do you really believe that hexagram?"
"Could it be that the Miss Su family acted on her own in order to fly up the branch?"
