When Shen Changge heard this, he wailed in his heart, why did this happen again? He suppressed the irritability in his heart and listened patiently to what Shen Wu had to say. Then he bowed to her and said, "I appreciate my mother's kindness. However, I have told my mother many times that I am not in a hurry to get married."
"You're not in a hurry. I'm in a hurry. Your father is in a hurry. Your father has sent me three letters home in a row. Each one asks me if I've found a good match for you. I don't even know. How can I get back to him?" Shen Wu immediately said aggrievedly.
"Mother, you and father really don't have to worry about my marriage! I..."
Before Shen Changge could finish speaking, Shen Wu immediately said anxiously: "If you dislike our Wu family's small family, you can take Xiaoyue as your concubine first. Our Wu family's daughters will not become your concubines, and you won't see it either." let's go!"
"Mom, that's not what I mean. What I mean is that I already have a sweetheart, so I can't delay Miss Wu!"
Seeing that Shen Wu seemed to be in tears, Shen Changge quickly explained.
"You have a sweetheart, I know, but isn't that girl already dead? Do you still want to keep her for the rest of your life?" Shen Wu said helplessly.
Shen Changge suddenly didn't know how to explain. He could only sigh and said: "Mom, I was on duty all night yesterday, and now I am really tired. Can you let the child go back and have a rest first?"
After hearing this, Mrs. Shen Wu saw that he was indeed yawning profusely, and knew that it would be useless to talk any more. Then she nodded and said: "Then you go back to your room to rest first! When you wake up, we will talk again!"
Shen Changge suddenly felt that he had no love in his life.
Shen Changge, who was lying on the bed, was still upset about what Shen Wu had just said. Suddenly, an idea popped into his mind, which shocked him!
"I'm afraid I might scare her if I have this idea so quickly!" Shen Changge said in his heart.
The next morning, Qingcheng frowned and sat in front of the makeup mirror, watching blankly as Luzhu carefully combed her black hair. Luzhu moved skillfully, and his gentle and delicate hands moved flexibly on her head. In no time, she was startled. The bun is already done.
She looked at herself in the mirror at this time, with curved eyebrows, a pair of beautiful eyes as bright as stars, a straight nose, slightly pink cheeks, and unpointed red lips. She is indeed pretty good-looking, but she is not really a stunning beauty. What do you like about such a fairy-like figure like Shen Changge
"Luzhu, what do you think Shen Changge likes about this princess?" Qingcheng suddenly asked.
Lu Zhu was slightly stunned when she heard this. She thought for a moment and said to Qingcheng: "Our princess is so beautiful, Captain Shen will naturally like her after seeing her."
"Apart from this?" Qingcheng turned around and asked her again.
Luzhu thought for a while and said: "The princess has a simple and lovely personality, so she is naturally lovable!"
Qingcheng was immediately displeased, and she said: "Your so-called beauty is never lacking in this palace. The innocence and cuteness you talk about may be short-sighted in the eyes of others. Apart from these two, does this princess have no other advantages? ?”
Luzhu suddenly broke into a cold sweat and quickly added: "The princess is filial and good at cooking!"
However, Qingcheng didn't take this seriously and thought to herself, do I really have no other advantages besides these? Where is Shen Changge? He is not only a talented person, but also a humble gentleman. He can rule the country with literature and bring peace to the world. He is good at calligraphy and painting, playing chess, and is good at playing the flute. The more he thinks about falling in love, the more he feels inferior.
"Hongyu, do you think I should learn some talents?" Qingcheng turned to ask Hongyu behind her.
"Then what does the princess like to learn?" Hongyu asked with a smile.
"Well, I think the guqin is very good. Last time on my father's birthday, didn't Concubine Mei play the song "Spring Snow"? I thought it was very nice, so I also want to learn to play the guqin. If I learn how, I can play it. Let’s listen to Changge.” Qingcheng thought for a while and said.
"Okay, then this slave girl will go to the workshop immediately to find a female official who is good at playing the piano to teach the princess the piano skills." Hongyu said immediately.
"good!"
Qingcheng suddenly became happy.
To the north is the Qinzheng Hall of the Royal Palace.
King Beilin and Shen Changge are playing chess. King Beilin seems to be in a good mood today. The two have played several rounds, each with his own victory or defeat. Seeing that the time of Xu has passed, King Beilin is still unsatisfied, but Shen Changge has become vaguely uneasy. , he had made an appointment with Qingcheng yesterday to go to the Green Bamboo Forest to find her as soon as he got off work at 3:00am today. It has been a long time now. I wonder if Qingcheng is still waiting for him
"Changge, it's your turn!"
The majestic voice of King Beilin sounded in my ears. Shen Changge just came back to his senses. He held the black piece in his right hand and looked at the chessboard with an uneasy expression. Then he frowned slightly and made a sound of "pop!".
"Hahaha, no regrets when you fall!" King Beilin laughed immediately when he saw him landing here, and then there was a "pop!" and the son had fallen.
Shen Changge looked at the entire chess game carefully, and now he had entered a dead end. He stared at the chess game for a long time, but still couldn't find any way to solve it, so he bowed to King Beilin and said, "Your Majesty, this game is brilliant. Wei Chen lost!"
King Beilin said with a smile: "One mistake and you lose everything. I didn't expect you to miss sometimes, Chang Ge!"
Shen Changge lowered his head and smiled, and said slowly: "The king is careful at every step and has foresight. This director Ge is sincerely convinced!"
King Beilin suddenly sneered and said: "You are happy to win, and happy to lose. The mentality of this game is very good, but I feel that I won this game not because of your carefulness, but because of your absent-mindedness. !”
Shen Changge was shocked when he heard this and immediately bowed down.
"The king is aware of this, but Chang Ge is frightened!"
"That's all, I'm tired now. You can go back and rest first!" King Beilin glanced at him and waved his hand.
"Wei Chen, please leave!" Shen Changge bowed and exited.
Qingcheng spent a day learning Guqin from the female tutor at the Qinfang. Now she can play a rough part of it, but the music is still out of tune. The female tutor at the Qinfang said that learning the piano requires perseverance and not to be too hasty. Although Qingcheng has received lessons, But she still played for a whole day, and when the hour was approaching, she hurriedly changed her clothes, washed herself, and went to the green bamboo forest to wait for Shen Changge with her guqin in her arms.
At first, she could still practice the fingering techniques taught by today's female tutor while waiting for Shen Changge with peace of mind. However, seeing that Xu Shi had passed and Shen Changge was still missing, she couldn't help but become irritated again, and she didn't want to practice the piano anymore. Wuzi crawled on the stone table, silently angry. Hongyu tried to coax her several times, but she remained silent.
After a long time, she suddenly said sadly: "Hongyu, do you think Shen Changge really likes me? Why do I always feel that he looks at me as if he is looking at another person?"
"Princess, you are too worried, how could you do that?" Hongyu quickly comforted her.
"He is so good, but I don't know anything. Now it is so difficult to learn the guqin. Moreover, I am suffering from chronic illnesses. I often have headaches and I don't know when I will faint. I am really afraid that one day I will fall asleep." Changge suddenly dislikes me! He doesn’t like me anymore, what should I do then?”
Qingcheng Wuzi said this with a look of uneasiness in her eyes.
"Shen..." Hongyu turned around and saw Shen Changge. She quickly wanted to salute, but was met with his silence gesture. She immediately understood and quietly retreated into the distance. Shen Changge stood behind Qingcheng, listening to her. Gu Zi expressed her worries and had mixed feelings in her heart. It turned out that he made her so uneasy!
Hearing her sad words about belittling herself, he couldn't help but get emotional. He called her softly from behind: "Qingcheng, I'm coming!"
When Qingcheng heard the sound, she immediately turned around, her eyes flashed with brilliance, and then she whispered aggrievedly: "I've been waiting for you for a long time!"
"I'm sorry, Lord Gang called me to play chess, but it was too late!" Shen Changge explained.
Qingcheng saw that it was her father who summoned him late, and it wasn't that he didn't care about her, so she immediately laughed.
Changge saw the guqin beside her and thought of what she had just said to herself, and couldn't help but smile: "If you want to learn guqin, I can teach you."
"You can also play the guqin? Why are you so good! Is there anything else you can't do?" Qingcheng joked.
"When I was young, I was lucky enough to meet senior Yao Chenzi, a master of guqin. After receiving some guidance from him, I only understood a little bit." Shen Changge said with a smile.
"Then teach me quickly, but I just learned it today and it's still out of tune, so you can't laugh at me." Qingcheng Yan smiled at Yan Yan.
"How could I laugh at you? Playing the piano is just for rest and recuperation. You don't have to pay too much attention to it. I'll demonstrate it to you first."
After saying that, Shen Changge sat down opposite Qingcheng, straightened the guqin, and then gently played with the strings with his fingers.
Qingcheng was already resting her chin on her hands and sitting quietly opposite him with her ears raised, looking like she had been looking forward to it for a long time.
Shen Changge smiled softly at her, and then plucked the strings again. Suddenly, a melodious sound flowed from his fingertips, like flowing water, with a touch of sadness. It was as if the breeze was blowing, and the fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus was lingering. In an instant, the white coat was fluttering, and the sound of the piano was exciting, echoing continuously with the pines and waves for a long time.
After the song was over, Qingcheng immediately applauded and praised her. She expressed her envy. She sighed to him, "I wonder when I will be able to play the piano as beautifully as yours?"
"Don't be in a hurry. You still have to take your time when playing the piano. Come on! Give it a try."
Shen Changge gently turned the guqin to Qingcheng's hand.
Qingcheng nodded to him and said sheepishly: "I really can't play, so I can only show my shame."
Shen Changge smiled at her and said, "I'm all ears!"
While looking at him, Qingcheng slowly placed her slender and white fingers on the seven strings of the guqin. She followed Shen Changge's example and began to play with it gently. Then she looked up at Shen Changge again, and Shen Changge nodded again. She continued, and Qingcheng started playing without any distractions.
Shen Changge could tell something was wrong as he listened, so he walked around behind her, gently held her hand, and said slowly: "What you are playing here is wrong. You should pluck the Zhengxian correctly."
When Qingcheng saw him sitting behind her, almost embracing her whole body, and now suddenly holding her hand and teaching her, Qingcheng was startled, and her heart felt like a deer.
Shen Changge also saw that Qingcheng was playing something wrong just now. His original intention was to teach her personally and didn't think too much about it. But after holding her soft and boneless hand, his heartbeat suddenly accelerated. He immediately felt that this move was too ambiguous. , but at this moment he didn't want to let go. So he could only pretend to be calm and still hold her hand while playing. A breeze blew through the forest, and the fragrance from Qingcheng's hair filled his nose. His hand holding her playing the piano began to tremble slightly.
