Domineering

When the empress stopped the court, the officials panicked, and the memorials for several days were piled up in Guiluan Hall.

Zhong Li paid his respects routinely, but he didn't see His Majesty in the Guiluan Hall, but saw two little maids kneeling on the ground, they seemed to have made some mistake and wept.Zhong Li stood and waited for a while, but Murong Xing was nowhere to be seen, and asked them, "Where did your Majesty go? Where are the people from Guiluan Palace?"

The little maid replied obediently: "Your Highness, I went to the music workshop."

"What are you doing at the band?"

The two little maids seemed to have found a life-saving straw, and they rushed to Zhong Li's feet, begging bitterly: "My lord! This servant is wronged! This servant, this servant has never played His Majesty's zither!" "My servant dare not! This servant is wronged!"

Zhong Li didn't understand, and squatted down: "Tell me clearly, what piano?"

"Yesterday, the piano that was delivered yesterday, this morning, I don't know why it suddenly fell from the high shelf. The head of the piano... the head of the piano fell." ah!"

Zhong Li expected that there was something wrong with the guqin given by Lord Ji Xiaohou, but she didn't expect it to appear so quickly. She got up, thought for a while, and asked the two of them: "What are your names, and where were you this morning?"

"Return to your lord, servant girl □ □ Lan, this morning is on duty outside His Majesty's palace."

"My lord, this servant girl is called Dongmei, and she also works outside His Majesty's hall." The little maid looked smarter, wiped her tears, and knelt forward, "My lord, the servants just entered the hall to check when they heard the zither falling. Yes, this matter of throwing the qin, I would not dare to borrow ten servants!"

"Don't be impatient, you two. Your Majesty is merciful. Since I told you to kneel here, I will definitely not kill you." Zhong Li paused, "It's just that this qin is very precious. If you two don't play it properly, You deserve it."

Dongmei was wronged: "My lord! I was really wronged! That Qin is..." Before she finished speaking, Chunlan suddenly rushed up from behind kneeling and running, and vigorously pressed Dongmei to kowtow to Zhong Li: "Your servant deserves what he deserves, my lord Forgive me!" It's not a pity for the palace to catch a lot of ordinary-looking maids like Chunlan and Dongmei.

Seeing Chunlan's arrogance towards Dongmei, Zhong Li asked one more question: "Tell me, what's your crime?"

"My lord, the servants are guilty. The sin is destroying the sacred objects, and the sin is disturbing the holy face."

"anything else?"

Chunlan didn't expect Zhong Li to ask so far, raised her head slightly, and couldn't help sobbing: "The sin is... the sin is..."

Chunlan sobbed endlessly, Zhong Li sneered: "You dare not say it, this pavilion will tell you for you, your sin is entering this Guiluan Palace, your sin is walking in front of the imperial court, and your sin is touching this guqin that should be thrown! Is that right?"

"Your Excellency! Chunlan didn't mean that!" Dongmei realized she was wrong, and kowtowed repeatedly, "Dongmei is guilty! It was Dongmei's fault, it was Dongmei who played the qin incorrectly, which caused the qin to fall... Your Majesty gave Dongmei the Capital crime, Dongmei has no complaints!"

"You still have resentment in your heart when you say that. Go, bring the ladder over, and this pavilion will give you justice."

In order to prove her innocence, Chunlan Dongmei hurriedly moved the small wooden ladder, Zhong Li raised the corner of her skirt and stepped on a section, her eyes were just at the same level as the position of the guqin on the elevated shelf, and she waved her hand to signal the two to hold the ladder and observe carefully.Looking left and right, Zhong Li didn't see anything wrong. He searched around with his hands and was a little disappointed: the wooden board here is flat, neither damp nor soft, no different from other wooden boards, and there are no traps.

"I can't see anything..." Zhong Li jumped down from the ladder, took out a handkerchief to wipe off the fine dust on his hands, "That's fine, I will go to Yuefu myself."

Something happened to Ji Yin, and the Yuefu played and sang every day on the surface, but in fact they were worried.If even Princess Tsinghua can be convicted, how can these poor women who are allowed to be played by others protect themselves?They were worried, and there were people who were more worried than them. Seeing that the adults who usually came to Yuefu disappeared, Yuefu became deserted day by day.

But in this increasingly depressed atmosphere, Hu Die became more and more proud. The position of Yuefu Yin will soon belong to her. Is there anything more joyful than returning things to their original owners?

"Congratulations to Sister Hu, congratulations to Sister Hu! Sister Hu Die's piano crown Xuanyuan, this Yuefu Yin deserves her name!"

On weekdays, the girls come to flatter, and Hu Die is very useful, but today, for some reason, there is even a trace of melancholy under the joy: "It's a pity to say, when the imperial capital was founded, how many people were accomplished in music and music? Alas, there are very few people who can compare with me now."

The girls in the music workshop were bored, echoed Hu Die and said a few words to please her, and half of the day passed, and finally they had nothing to talk about, and they were about to leave. I don't know who suddenly mentioned Xiaoqinglou, and suddenly everyone's attention The mind attracts the past.

"I heard that the business of Xiaoqing Building has been sluggish recently, and it's almost going bankrupt."

"Who said that?"

"The white lotus from Xiaoqinglou said she wanted to go to Yuefu."

"White Lotus? The signboard of Xiaoqing Building?" Hu Die was a little familiar with the name, and became interested. "Isn't she the concubine of Lord Ji? Want to be enslaved?"

"Hu Die, you are talking about Bai Rongrong..."

"That's her! This vile little hoof, dare to poison people on the stage!" Hu Die didn't realize what was wrong, and scolded this person in front of everyone, "Tell her, this Yuefu is not good Come in, Marquis dotes on her, but I, Hu Die, are not welcome!"

Seeing that she was so excited, everyone sneered.

"Hu Die, now Xiaoqing Building's signboard is white lotus, not white velvet."

"...Who is this?"

"Bai Rongrong is already the legitimate concubine of Lord Ji Xiaohou. I just entered the mansion through the small gate yesterday, but the Xiaoqing Building lacked the last signboard. Business was not good, so the old bustard found another girl and named her Bailianhua. Win over old customers. This white lotus is a sister I once met in the flower market, she told me all these, there will be no fakes."

"Hehe, Bai Jasmine is the pickle place in Xiaoqing Tower..." Hu Die was a little depressed when she received the news of Bai Jasmine's death a few days ago, and at this moment she blurted out this name, and she touched her own thunder.

Hu Die was not in the mood to chat anymore and sent everyone away.

After a while, a servant came to knock on the door: "Miss, a female guest came to the house, who claimed to be surnamed Su, and brought a broken piano, and asked you to repair it."

"What? I, Hu Die, play the qin, not repair the qin! No see!" Hu Die flatly refused, and it wasn't until the servant went to answer that she realized something was wrong: Su?

Hu Die thought to herself: The Su family is withered, how can there be a daughter?No, there is another one in the Su family's offshoot, but she also married in the poor place of Xishan... Tsk tsk tsk, this female guest is really inexplicable, and even asked her to repair the piano by name.

The little servant hurried back and called as he ran, "Hu——Hu Die, you'd better come out and have a look. That female guest spends a lot of money, and she looks like a noble person at first sight. You can't neglect her." The servant used a lot of strength, Hu Die opened the door in time, and received a punch directly on the face like a flower.

"You don't have eyes!" Hu Die was anxious and angry, "Come back and deal with you!"

In the lobby, a woman in brocade clothes has been waiting for a long time. Hu Die looked at her tall back, and was a little moved from a distance. When she got closer, she realized that the woman was not tall, because she stepped on a pair of thick-soled embroidered shoes, which made her stiff Make her taller than others.

"Miss Su?" The woman turned around upon hearing the voice.

When the two met each other, Hu Die was stunned—this Miss Su held in her arms a guqin that had been hit hard and cracked in two sections.Hu Die knows the goods, this guqin is made of extremely precious materials both from the body and the strings!

"Shennong wood?! Ice silk?!" Hu Die was attracted by the qin, but forgot to ask people for a moment, and asked about the qin, "A good qin! How can it be ruined like this?"

"Is there a remedy?"

"Remedy?" Hu Die took it as a joke, and kindly explained it to Miss Su, "It doesn't matter whether you can find ice silkworms, and find someone to rewind and twist the strings. As long as the body of the violin is cracked like this, even if you find wood of the same size , and it’s not the original piano.”

Ms. Su felt lost when she heard the words, the hug was loosened, and the Qin fell to the ground, completely split in two.

Hu Die was annoyed by this move: "Eh?! Even if it can't be repaired, it was a good piano. What's the matter with you?"

Miss Su stared at Hu Die, thoughtfully: "What you said is very true, it used to be a good piano, I can't treat it like this..." As she said, Miss Su dropped the guqin that she had been holding for a long time, and waved her sleeves. and go.Hu Die pointed at Qin and didn't know what to do, Miss Su never looked back, "I reward you."

The nobleman's attitude was inexplicable, which made Hu Die angry!Hu Die was very angry when the excellent Guqin was smashed to the ground!I got punched when I opened the door for no reason, and I got angry!Hu Die was very angry!

When Zhong Li entered the Yuefu, Hu Die was pulling out a piece of Shennong wood from the ground, and beating the servant fiercely. She was beating and cursing at the same time, talking about the absurd things that happened in Yuefu in the past few days. , the nameless matter was cursed all over again, and the vulgarity of the words surprised Zhong Li.

How could the servant stand and be beaten by her, and in the blink of an eye, he ran faster than Hu Die, as if he was walking her.

Hu Die plunged into the crowd of spectators, waved the stick, and said coldly: "What are you looking at! It's gone!" Someone stood motionless, Hu Die didn't see who it was, and the wooden stick had already hit him, "What's the matter?" Look, right! Look at me...Huh?"

Huh?Why is this person so like her idol?

Zhong Li held the other piece of Shennong wood with one hand, put his other hand to his lips, and made a hissing motion.The crowd is the best cover, she didn't want to make a high profile, but the violent woman in front of her was her fanatical fan, she lost Shen Nongmu in an instant and rushed over, pulling everyone's attention back.

"Lord Zhong!"

Hu Die said "Lord Zhong", and the entire Yuefu gradually boiled over. The legendary talented woman Zhong Li who swore to the sky never to set foot in the Yuefu again broke her vow twice in this month!In heaven, this is not what the deep love for their Yuefu is!

Zhong Li didn't find His Majesty's figure in the crowd, and suddenly realized that she had missed Murong Xing's carriage on the way back, secretly regretting, and wanted to leave, but when she turned around, she realized that the back road had been covered by everyone blocked.

"You guys, calm down." Zhong Li retreated nervously as if facing a formidable enemy, "This pavilion still has important matters..."

The road ahead was overcrowded and full of peach blossoms, no one could hear what Zhong Li said.

"Zhong Li! It's Zhong Li!"

"Master Zhong, look at me!"

"Master Zhong, take a look at me!"

"Ahhhhhhhh-look at me! She's looking at me!"

In this situation, the hospitality is hard to turn down, Zhong Li was overwhelmed with flattery: What are these people crazy about? ! ... Yuefu, it's really scary!
