[Qing] Empress Xiao Chengren Reborn

After resting for a few days, Cheng Hu went back to his study to study.

Because of his vomiting of blood, Li Guangdi and others did not dare to force him, and the homework assigned to him was relatively easy, but Cheng Hu felt that the homework he learned was too easy, and he would add more every time, so When school was over, Chengrui and Shu Yierha had left, and he was the only one left in the study.

When Cheng Hu left the upper study room, it was getting late, Cheng Hu stood under the corridor of the upper study room, but at a glance he saw Nan Huairen leading a handsome man with blond hair into the Qianqing Gate and heading towards the Qianqing Palace.

Cheng Hu frowned: "Who is that person?" There are not many foreigners who can enter and leave the Qianqing Palace, basically Cheng Hu has seen all of them, but the blond man is not in Cheng Hu's impression.

Zhang Lu on the side didn't know him either: "If you go back to the second elder brother, I don't know, and I haven't seen it either!"

Li Guangdi, who came out from the upper study room, also saw the blond man, he and Tang Bin exchanged glances, and said, "Second Elder Brother, I don't know, this man was recommended by Nan Huairen when he spoke exotic music in front of the emperor. The Portuguese, his name is Xu Risheng, he arrived in the capital on the first day of the Lunar New Year, and he was introduced to the emperor by Nan Huairen until now."

Among the four masters that Xuan Ye assigned to Shangshufang, Li Guangdi and Tang Bin were the teachers who specially taught Cheng Hu. Since Cheng Hu stayed until now, naturally Li Guangdi and Tang Bin would also accompany him till now.

Cheng Hu stared at the direction of Qianqing Palace for a while, then turned his head to Li Guangdi and Tang Bin and said: "Students are farewell, and the two masters go well."

The two also bowed to Cheng Hu: "Second Elder Brother, please go."

So the three of them parted ways here, Li Guangdi and Li Guangdi left the palace from the Qianqing Gate to the south, but Cheng Hu went in the direction of the Qianqing Palace. He was really curious about Xu Risheng.

After Chenghu arrived at the East Nuan Pavilion of the Qianqing Palace, he really saw Nan Huairen and Xu Risheng inside. When he saw Xu Risheng up close, he felt that this person was very handsome, with blond hair and blue eyes and an exotic flavor, just like the one recorded in Er Niang's booklet. like that.

Xuan Ye was talking to Nan Huairen and Xu Risheng before he heard the little eunuch report that the second elder brother was coming this way. Seeing Cheng Hu come in and salute him, his eyes turned to Xu Risheng who was at the side On the body, Xuan Ye understood, and then he smiled and said: "Are you out of school? Have you gone to say hello to your mother? Why did you come to me first?"

Cheng Hu replied: "Returning to Emperor Ama, I have just finished school and haven't gone to pay my respects to Er Niang. Just now I saw Master Nan Huairen leading a foreigner over outside, and I followed him out of curiosity."

Xuan Ye guessed that Cheng Hu was like this, and immediately pointed to Xu Risheng and said with a smile: "His name is Xu Risheng, he is...Portuguese. Last time Nan Huairen mentioned this person when he told me about their country's music. I highly recommend it to me, saying that Xu Risheng plays the piano very well, so he brought him to see me today."

After Xuan Ye finished speaking, he looked at Cheng Hu with concern again and said, "Is your body getting better? I don't think you look well, so don't learn it so late in the future. If you let your mother know, I will definitely feel distressed. of."

After Cheng Hu vomited blood, Xuan Ye showed no emotion on the surface, but Zhu Jin was angry and didn't see him for a few days, and he felt very uncomfortable in his heart, wondering whether he was pushing Cheng Hu too hard?He also felt sorry for Cheng Hu in his heart, but as Zhu Jin said, since he had chosen to be a strict father, he could only keep doing it. , he was more kind and friendly than before, and never persecuted Chenghu again.

In Xuan Ye's view, the father's heart and the emperor's heart to cultivate heirs are incompatible. When the two are together, there are always conflicts and entanglements. But for his big plan, he still tries his best to bear in Chenghu. Within the scope of the situation, it is his selfishness to be strict with him...

"My son knows that my son is no longer what he used to be. Huang Ama can rest assured," Cheng Hu said with a smile on his face, looking at Xuan Ye with great interest, "Huang Ama, my son wants to hear Mr. Xu Play the piano, will you?"

It was written in Er Niang's brochure that among the later generations, there is talk of concerts, and there are also concerts such as piano recitals and symphony concerts. Think about it, after all, it can't be realized.

But today, with someone who can play the piano in front of him, he really wanted to hear the live version, and it was because of this thought that he came directly to Qianqing Palace.

"I also have this intention," Xuan Ye laughed, Cheng Hu's words hit his heart, and he pondered, "It's just that I'm afraid I can't play the piano in my private vault."

That piano is too old, I'm afraid Xu Risheng can't play it to his heart's content, and although he likes Western objects, there are many Western objects in the Qianqing Palace, but there is no piano, although Nan Huairen took time to replace it for him a few years ago Made a piano, but that piano is now in the Kunning Palace, so Xu Risheng can't be allowed to play the piano in Ah Jin's palace, right?

Cheng Hu heard the words and said: "What's so difficult about this? Isn't there a piano in Erniang's Palace? Although it was made in the past two years, it is often overhauled by someone. I think Mr. Xu can give it a try. Erchen thought, if Erniang could also hear Mr. Xu playing the piano, Erniang would be happy too. Oh, by the way, Huang Ama, didn’t Erniang also say that? Music is the best prenatal education during pregnancy! "

Xuan Ye also thought of Cheng Hu's proposal, but the harem is full of female relatives, Xu Risheng is young and a foreign minister, it is inappropriate to go in and out of the harem after dark, so this idea flashed in his mind and was dismissed. No, it was not raised.

But hearing what Cheng Hu said, Xuan Ye thought about Zhu Jin's love for Western objects, and remembered how she often caressed the piano despite not knowing how to play it. His heart softened, and he finally agreed: "Liang Jiugong, you I went to Kunning Palace and told the Queen that I brought a person who can play the piano to her and asked her to get ready, and the idlers should also retreat."

Since it is for Zhujin and her little Gege to listen to the piano, no one else needs to be present. Xuanye's intention is to ask Zhujin to clear the venue in advance, and then put a screen in the middle, as long as Xu Risheng does not meet Zhujin. .

Liang Jiugong was busy and went to Kunning Palace to spread the message. Xuan Ye stood up with a smile, and said to Nan Huairen: "You praised him for playing the piano well in front of me, and it happens that the queen also likes to listen to the piano. Let's go to Kunning Palace with my second elder brother! If you play well, I will naturally reward you!"

Xu Risheng was not very proficient in Chinese, and even knew nothing of Manchu and Mongolian. Nan Huairen translated Xuan Ye's words to Xu Risheng. Xu Risheng was very excited and said immediately: "I can play the piano for the emperor and queen of China. It is my honor!"

Nan Huairen relayed Xu Risheng's words to Xuan Ye, who laughed loudly and said, "That's true!"

Zhu Jin felt that there was nothing to do in Kunning Palace, but she never thought that a good thing would come from heaven, she could still listen to Xu Risheng playing the piano!

You must know that in her previous life, Xuan Ye listened to Xu Risheng's piano alone in Qianqing Palace. After listening to it, Xuan Ye seemed very excited, and went to Kunning Palace to talk to her about the beauty of Western music. At that time, she was just a A simple ancient woman who didn't understand Western music at all, let alone experienced the influence of modern music, but she was fascinated by everything Xuan Ye said. She still remembers that feeling until now, not because she also loves Western music, but because Because I love Xuan Ye's raised eyebrows when he talked about Western music, I felt at that time that what he likes, I must also like.

Xu Risheng sat in front of the piano and said something to Nan Huairen. Nan Huairen cupped his hands to Xuanye inside the screen and said, "Your Majesty, Xu Risheng is ready. He asked the Emperor what music he would like to hear? Some Chinese songs , He said he should know something."

Xuan Ye turned to Zhu Jin and smiled softly: "A Jin, what do you want to hear?"

Zhu Jin thought for a moment, then said: "Jasmine."

Nan Huairen relayed the words to Xu Risheng, and after a while, while the few people waited with bated breath, the beautiful piano sounded, and the tune was very familiar, it was the song Jasmine.

The hall is as warm as a spring day, the candlelight is flickering, and Xu Risheng’s back can be vaguely seen from the silhouette of the brocade screen. Listening to this familiar tune, she seems to have returned to the modern society. She can’t tell what kind of feeling she feels in her heart. I have been immersed in this nice piano tune.

At the end of the song, Zhu Jin took a deep breath, lowered her eyes to hide the tears in her eyes, and then a sincere smile appeared on her lips, she turned her head to look at Xuan Ye and said: "Your Majesty, this piano is really good."

She admired it from the bottom of her heart. If she had to use one word to describe Xu Risheng's piano music, then she felt that there were two words that were most appropriate, and that would be the word romantic.

No wonder Xuanye was so excited when he heard Xu Risheng play the piano, this person really played very well.

After Nan Huairen and Xu Risheng left, Zhu Jin still felt unsatisfied. She pulled Xuan Ye's sleeve and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, Mr. Xu is not only good-looking, but also can play the piano so well. Don't let this talent go to waste, the emperor wants to keep this person in the capital!"

"Since I personally sent someone to invite him to the capital, I naturally want to keep him,"

Xuan Ye smiled, and immediately noticed Zhu Jin's other words, "You haven't seen his appearance, how do you know he is good-looking?"

"Well, the concubine took a peek just now. Xu Risheng is blond and blue-eyed, and he looks really good-looking." The aesthetics of pearl brocade has evolved to modern times, and it is not like people in ancient times thought that the appearance of crooked nuts is very strange After Zhu Jin finished speaking, seeing Xuan Ye's unhappy face, he deliberately smiled again, "Xu Risheng seems to be still very young, hey, I don't know if he has a wife yet?"

After hearing this, Xuan Ye snorted to himself, and said, "Isn't I not good-looking? Is the blond-haired and blue-eyed Westerner really so good-looking?"

Zhu Jin praised others like this in front of him, and he got a little tasteful.

And he was really strange, it was the first time he heard a woman praise a Westerner for being good-looking...

"The emperor is the son of heaven, how can he compare with them?" Zhu Jin smiled and began to stroke Xuan Ye softly, "In the eyes of my concubines, the emperor is the most beautiful, no one can compare!"
