Now, Gu Yanfei was sure that he understood.

"I'll help you!" Gu Yanfei said with a smile, the corners of her lips curled up in a confident arc.

A few strands of messy hair were blown by the cold wind and caressed her jade-like cheeks, which complemented her elegant demeanor and majestic bearing.

Wei Jiaoniang and Lu Qin looked at each other again, and they burst out laughing almost at the same time, their laughter was like a bell.

Both of them cuddled on Gu Yanfei's shoulders intimately, which made Gu Yanfei deeply feel what it means to hug left and right.

Several eyes around looked at the three of them.

Talking and laughing, a group of people came to the imperial garden.

Liu Shuang, the maid in charge, took the girls to a water pavilion with a width of three rooms by the lake.

This Tinglanshui Pavilion has been arranged in advance, the room is full of incense, the floor is covered with woolen carpets, piano cases, tables and chairs, book cases, chessboards, etc. are all available, and several silver frost charcoal basins are burned inside. suitable.

As soon as the frozen girls entered, they felt as if they were alive again, and took off their cloaks one after another.

"Girl!"

Wei Jiaoniang, Gu Yanfei and the others just walked to the door of the water pavilion, and a girl in green clothes happily waved to Wei Jiaoniang inside.

Wei Jiaoniang took the tung oil umbrella, handed it to a court lady next to her, turned her head and whispered to Gu Yanfei: "The eldest prince will definitely come later."

She also followed Gu Yanfei's example and made calculation gestures, as if to say, she just calculated it by herself.

Gu Yanfei and Lu Qin were amused by her, they laughed joyfully, and they crossed the threshold together.

In the water pavilion, most of the girls have already taken their seats, and there is still a clear distinction between Xungui and the aristocratic family, with Xungui girls sitting on the east side and aristocratic girls sitting on the west side.

Behind a qin case of rosewood wood inlaid with shells on the west wall, a dignified and beautiful woman from aristocratic family sits gracefully, with her hands on the strings, first tried the sound of the piano, and then plucked the strings with her slender fingers. Played a song "High Mountain and Flowing Water".

High mountains and flowing water meet bosom friends.

Playing "High Mountain and Flowing Water" is naturally to wait for a bosom friend.

Wei Jiaoniang signaled Gu Yanfei and Lu Qin to look at the girl playing the piano with her eyes, and said in a low voice, "They must have got the news, otherwise what kind of piano are they playing in this winter."

While talking, they came to the girl in Cuiyi, and Wei Jiaoniang asked with a smile: "What are we playing?"

"Let's play peek-a-boo." Cui Yi girl suggested.

Lu Qin immediately vetoed it without thinking: "How can you play in such a small place, and now it's snowing outside again."

As she said that, she pushed open a window and looked at the lake outside the water pavilion. The clear water of the lake was sparkling in the wind and snow.

"Let's feed the fish." Lu Qin rolled her eyeballs and suggested with a smile, "I heard that there are many gold and silver scale koi in this lake, and the whole body is covered with gold or silver scales. Extremely."

Lu Qin enthusiastically beckoned the maid to fetch fish food.

Wei Jiaoniang pointed at Lu Qin's forehead, and told Gu Yanfei with a smile: "Yanfei, Ah Qin is too lazy to move because of the cold weather."

Lu Qin stuck out her tongue playfully, and smiled at Gu Yanfei winkingly, without the slightest bit of embarrassment at being told.

Two boxes of fish food were brought up quickly. The girls fed the fish, enjoyed the fish, ate snacks, and talked and laughed.

At the door, a white-faced and beardless middle-aged waiter ordered several maids to pour tea and water, and added melon and fruit snacks to the plates from time to time, while he himself looked out from time to time.

After a long time, a small servant finally arrived with a tray.

The middle-aged waiter took the tray, and personally passed the white porcelain wine jug and several wine glasses on the tray over.

The tip of Wei Jiaoniang's nose moved, smelling the hint of alcohol in the air, she blurted out, "Qionghualu."

As she spoke, Wei Jiaoniang stroked her chin with a thoughtful look on her face.

These foreign ministers and female family members are not allowed to drink casually when they enter the palace, except to participate in the palace banquet. They are afraid of losing their dignity in front of the emperor. This is the rule, so the palace people will not drink casually.

Wei Jiaoniang squinted her eyes, looked up and down the palace servant who served the wine, and wondered: Could this be some kind of conspiracy?

In an instant, Wei Jiaoniang's scripts about Gongdou all came to mind.

But in the next moment, Gu Yanfei raised his eyebrows and said to the middle-aged servant: "It's you."

"It's a slave." The middle-aged servant was somewhat flattered, and hurriedly said, "The slave's surname is He."

This Eunuch He was the one who brought Gu Yanfei to Xihua Gate with a sedan chair.

Eunuch He said respectfully: "This Qionghua dew is given to Miss Gu by His Royal Highness the First Prince."

He brought the jug of wine to the table with a low eyebrow, and quickly poured a glass of wine for Gu Yanfei.

"It's really Qiong Hualu, Jiao Niang, your nose is still so good." Lu Qin praised in amazement, and exchanged a look with Wei Jiao Niang tacitly, meaning that the eldest prince really has a heart.

"That's it." Wei Jiaoniang rubbed her nose triumphantly, blinked her right eye, and made a pun.

Wei Jiaoniang's grandfather, Wei Guogong, was fond of wine. Although Wei Jiaoniang could not drink well, she had a good nose. As long as it was wine she had drunk before, she would know it by smelling it.

The wine in the white porcelain cup is light amber, crystal clear and pleasantly fragrant.

Gu Yanfei squinted at the clear aroma of the wine, remembering that she once casually mentioned to Chu Yi that she wanted to taste Qionghualu. She forgot after she said it, but he didn't expect him to remember it.

"Eunuch He, please thank Your Highness the First Prince for me." Gu Yanfei smiled and said to Eunuch He generously.

Eunuch He backed away with an empty tray smiling, thinking in his heart: Second Miss Gu seems to like to eat candied fruit, especially the carved plum balls that she ate several more than the other ones, so she must ask someone to get some more.

"Have a drink?" Gu Yanfei smiled and poured a glass of wine for Wei Jiaoniang, Lu Qin and the other three girls at the same table.

As the wine poured down from the mouth of the pot, the aroma of the wine overflowed, and the pleasant aroma of the wine washed away a little of the sweet and greasy aroma around it.

Wei Jiaoniang and Lu Qin raised their glasses first, and the other two girls held their glasses one after another because they were also informal. Only one girl in pink hesitated a little, thinking that drinking in the palace was not appropriate after all.

Wei Jiaoniang took a sip of the wine and savored carefully: "Ganoderma lucidum, honey, wolfberry, and..."

She tilted her small face, concentrating on the taste in her mouth, and always felt that there was an indescribable taste in the wine.

"Shaoyao." A smiling voice sounded in Wei Jiaoniang's ear.

Wei Jiaoniang's eyes lit up, she nodded hurriedly, "It's Shaoyao."

"Yan Fei, your tongue is smarter than mine!"

Lu Qin said: "Add this peony, this Qionghualu will be fragrant but not colorful, mellow and elegant, with a lingering and sweet taste."

"Good wine, really good wine!"

The girls praised happily.

The crisp and lively chatter and laughter clearly floated in the water pavilion, adding a bit of vitality to this cold and windy winter.

"It's noisy!"

On the west side of the water pavilion, a girl in yellow clothes sitting by the piano table said coldly, making no effort to hide her displeasure.

"I can't even enjoy the piano properly." The other girl in blue also frowned and looked at Gu Yanfei and Wei Jiaoniang, her red lips were tightly pursed, and she snorted coldly, "It's not proper to make noise in the palace!"

The melodious sound of the zither was endless, and the girl in purple who was playing the zither was stroking the zither with her ten fingers flying, looking down at the strings intently, frowning slightly.

Several other women from aristocratic families also nodded in sympathy, and said inwardly: These honorable women are really vulgar in their behavior, and it is difficult for them to be elegant.

The noisy noise swept away their good mood of listening to the piano and enjoying the snow.

Only Yu Chaoyun's expression remained unchanged, and he stroked the incense ball in his sleeve with the gesture of stroking his sleeve, and reminded lightly: "They may plan to do what they did when they were in Shanglinyuan last time..."

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the other people present changed instantly, and they couldn't help but think of Wei Jiaoniang and the others deliberately disrupting the sound of the piano with the sound of gongs and drums outside the hunting ground.

At that time, I accidentally broke the string when I was playing the piano, which is really disgusting! Miss Zeng in a yellow dress caressed her fingers, and her fingertips recalled the pain of breaking the string that day.

Miss Zeng stroked her trembling fingertips repeatedly, bit her lower lip with her jade teeth, and squeezed out four words between her teeth: "Too much to deceive people."

After all, didn't Wei Jiaoniang dare to be so arrogant because of the support of Wei Guogong?

"Miss Yu is right, they must have intentions!" The girl in blue lowered her voice, barely maintaining the demeanor of a family girl.

The purple-clothed girl playing the piano naturally also heard their conversation, and with a flick of her fingers, the sound of the piano became chaotic.

She frowned tightly, and simply pressed down on the strings, and the sound of the piano stopped abruptly.

The surroundings became quiet, and the chatter and laughter from the right seemed to become harsher.

"I see..." Yu Chaoyun said again, the two words attracted the eyes of all the girls from the aristocratic family.

Yu Chaoyun continued unhurriedly, "It's better to play the piano with them."

Douqin?

All the daughters of the aristocratic family were stunned and looked at each other.

Douqin is a tradition in the Dajing Dynasty.

It is rumored that during the reign of Emperor Taizu, he often made private visits in private clothes to observe the people's sentiments.

One year when Emperor Taizu went to Yangzhou, he came across a boat on the Qinhuai River. A dispute arose between the two parties for giving way.

Emperor Taizu saw a stunning beauty on the boat, and heard that the beauty was Hua Qingyi, the most talented woman in Yangzhou, with outstanding piano skills, so he proposed to play the piano with the other party, and whoever loses will give way.

Hua Qingyi accepted the challenge. After finishing the song, Emperor Taizu sighed and said: "This song should only exist in the sky, how many times can we hear it in the world?"

Emperor Taizu had a heart of pity and beauty, but it was a pity that King Xiang wanted it, but Goddess had no intentions. Hua Qingyi declined the kindness of Emperor Taizu, devoted his life to studying piano art, and later became a master of a generation, famous all over the world.

Since then, women in the Dajing Dynasty have had the tradition of playing piano.

It is not "spirit" but "talent" that "fights" in the piano.

Miss Zeng raised her eyebrows and looked sideways at Wei Jiaoniang and the others, and said with a bit of sarcasm: "They can play the piano?"

"How can the light of this firefly compete with the sun and the moon!" The purple-clothed girl said with a smile that was not a smile, and plucked a string of the piano casually, her posture was elegant, her slender fingers were as blue as jade.

The same ridicule and disdain appeared on the faces of several other aristocratic women.

It is said that all these noble girls from noble families can draw a bow when they mount a horse, and carry a knife when they get off a horse. With their thick hands and feet, even after learning the piano for a few days, it is only half a bucket of water!

Let them beat gongs and drums is almost the same!
