"I think... I might go with the temple master to make some arrangements." Master Ning Yin said.
Her expression changed slightly just now, and she spoke more hesitantly than before. Qu Moying had been paying attention to her, so how could he not see her hesitation.
"Princess, this matter has been settled. I will report to the abbot in a moment." Master Ning Yin changed the subject, and it was obvious that he did not want to talk about this matter anymore.
He took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and pushed it in front of Qu Moying, saying with a smile, "I'd like to trouble Princess Ying to take a look at this music score and help correct it."
Qu Moying reached out and took it and took a look. It was a pretty good piano score, but it wasn't necessarily eye-catching. Fortunately, it was quite good after careful consideration.
"Composed by a real person?" Qu Moying asked.
"I just wrote it casually. I would like to ask Princess Ying to help correct it." Master Ning Yin smiled, her eyes slightly curved. Talking about this topic made her feel much more relaxed than the previous topic, and the smile on her face was also a little more sincere. "Princess, please take a look. These parts are not very good. It's just that I can't think of how to change them at the moment."
Master Ning Yin came over and pointed at a few places.
After Qu Moying took a closer look, she felt that these parts were not so harmonious. Her long eyelashes fluttered twice and she became somewhat interested.
People who love music will feel happy when they see these, even if they are imperfect scores.
He flicked his hands in the air a few times and said, "Yuchun, bring me my guqin."
Yuchun went inside and took out a guqin. It was the Feng Yu guqin, which Qu Moying had always been very fond of and always carried with him when he traveled.
On the piano stand, Qu Moying stretched out her hand, looked at the music score on it, tuned the strings, and then played it according to the score. When she reached the climax, she pressed her hand and frowned slightly.
"Is there anything wrong?" asked Master Ning Yin.
Qu Moying looked up at Master Ning Yin and asked, "When did Master Ning Yin compose this music score?"
"It's been a while, and it wasn't finished all at once. Now... it looks like it was pieced together, but I can't figure out what's wrong when I look at it. If the princess feels that it needs to be revised, just go ahead and revise it."
Master Ning Yin explained with a smile.
Put together
This was indeed what Qu Moying was thinking at the time.
Some parts of this music score are extremely wonderful when listened to carefully. Originally, there should be more exquisite parts here, but it seems to be downgraded by several levels because of the notes below.
This music score doesn't seem to be the work of Master Ning Yin, but the few wonderful parts seem to be something Master Ning Yin did in the past.
"This music score of the real person really seems to be pieced together. Based on my understanding of the real person, it seems... there is no way he could have made such a music score." Qu Moying smiled and asked.
Master Ning Yin shook his head and smiled bitterly, "My earliest score was not very good either. I picked up the original score and recomposed it. The original sentiment is still beautiful when I think of it now. Even if this score is not good, I don't want to discard it. I wanted to complete it and make it more complete. I didn't expect it to be changed into this form. I am embarrassed by you, Princess."
"Master, do you want it now?" Qu Moying asked when he saw that she had no intention of leaving.
If you want to revise a good music score, it cannot be done quickly. It may take ten days, half a month, or even more time.
"Just make some minor changes to make it smoother." Master Ning Yin said, "When I wrote it down myself before, I thought it was pretty good at first glance. Some parts were plain, but other parts were also exquisite. But when I played it later, I found that... it's actually not good at all, and it doesn't even flow. I have to trouble Princess Ying again."
Master Ning Yin really had no intention of leaving, so he just looked at Qu Moying and smiled.
The only requirement is that it be smooth, and it doesn't matter whether it is good or not. She also explained the reason. It used to be a feeling in the past, but now when she thinks about it, she can't stop thinking about it.
Seeing that she was not leaving, Qu Moying asked her to sit aside for a while. He sat in front of the guqin and tuned the strings. Yuxiu served him with pen and ink, and from time to time she made revisions on paper according to Qu Moying's thoughts.
The piano sounds smooth, and although there are pauses from time to time, it is still very pleasant to the ear.
Qu Moying's delicate face was full of seriousness, her lips slightly pursed, and she whispered a few words to Yuxiu from time to time. Her slender white fingers hooked up and down on the strings, and gently twisted them...
Master Ning Yin looked at the scene in front of him, and a hint of jealousy flashed in his eyes. The woman in front of him was so beautiful, so beautiful that it made him feel dirty.
Although she came from a poor family, she always felt that everyone she met was just so-so. If she were given such an identity, she could do better than any other woman.
Only the British princess in front of her made her feel frustrated.
The stunning appearance, the absolutely beautiful face, the serious look in the quiet piano music, and the familiar skills... This feeling makes people feel that the woman in front of them is a painting, a painting as beautiful as a fairy.
Even though Master Ning Yin has always been proud of his appearance, he could not be arrogant in front of the Princess of England. He had to admit that the Princess of England was indeed stunningly beautiful.
Suddenly, her thoughts drifted to the Crown Prince. She heard that the former Crown Princess also liked music. There should be a lot of guqins left by her in the East Palace. She could look for one that suits her. She hadn't heard that the current Crown Princess liked music, so she should be just average...
"Master, it's okay." Qu Moying's voice suddenly sounded in his ears, and it pulled Master Ning Yin back from his wandering soul.
Restraining the shy smile on his lips, Master Ning Yin coughed softly and looked at Qu Moying uncomfortably. As expected, he saw Qu Moying looking at him with a smile, and there was some indescribable meaning in his eyes.
His face flushed slightly: "Remembering some... old things."
"It seems that this old thing... is still fresh in the memory of Master Ning Yin." Qu Moying said with a smile, then waved to Yuxiu, who handed a piece of music score to Master Ning Yin.
This is a rewritten score.
"This... where is the original one?" Master Ning Yin looked up subconsciously. The one she gave to Qu Moying just now was not this one. She had been immersed in her own imagination and did not notice when the paper was changed.
"I accidentally cut that one, so I wrote a handwritten one." Yuxiu said with a smile.
"Can you give me the old one?" Master Ning Yin frowned.
"What does the master want the old one for?" Qu Moying asked puzzledly and waved to Yuxiu.
Yuxiu helplessly went over to find the paper she had just thrown away. It was already crumpled into a ball. She flattened it out and placed it in front of Master Ning Yin. It was completely unreadable.
The ink on it has already worn off and gathered together. Not only can't you see Qu Moying's new score, even the previous scores can't be seen clearly. Just looking at the large blob of ink, you can tell it's ruined.
"I didn't know that you valued this piece of paper so much. I was rude, and I hope you can forgive me." Qu Moying smiled and said on behalf of Yuxiu.
Master Ning Yin frowned, looking unhappy. He looked up at the maid and scolded her, "The maid of Princess Ying is smart. She didn't seem to be so reckless in the past. I don't know why she caused such a thing this time."
She still had a use for this paper, so she kept it as evidence. She didn't expect that it would be destroyed by a maid. Master Ning Yin was really angry at this time.
It was not so easy to explain this matter to Princess Jing, and she had another little plan...
There are three sheets of music score paper like this, including this one.
One was written casually by Princess Jing.
The second one was the one she rewrote after revising it.
And the one in front of me was composed entirely by the Princess of England, and by a maid...
"Master Ningyin is blaming my maid?" Qu Moying's face suddenly darkened, and he put his hand on the music score. His words suddenly became impolite. "In that case, if Master Ningyin doesn't like it, forget it. Yuxiu, leave the music score you just wrote."
Yu Xiu walked up to him and took back the music score that had just been placed on the table. She stood behind Qu Moying with a fierce face, looking unhappy.
These words and actions were so unexpected that Master Ning Yin was stunned. His outstretched hand froze in the air, and his face flushed...
"Princess Ying, what do you mean?" Master Ning Yin suppressed the shame and anger in her heart and said in a cold voice.
"Master, do you think I'm easy to bully?" Qu Moying smiled, but the smile gradually turned cold.
The two maids on both sides glared at Master Ning Yin together. Although they didn't say anything, their anger was evident from their actions.
Seeing them like this, Master Ning Yin felt a little nervous and panicked. He twisted his fingers tightly and suppressed his annoyance. "Princess, I dare not. I just think that this music score... has some meaning. It was left to me by an important person... I said this because I was anxious."
As she said this, she stood up and bowed deeply to Yuxiu.
"It was my fault just now. Looking at this stained paper... I remembered some things..." When she said this, her eyes became red.
Qu Moying didn't say anything, but seemed to be examining her, which made Master Ning Yin's body stiffen a little.
It took a long while before Qu Moying's voice was heard: "Since it is just a misunderstanding, forget it. Please take a seat, Master."
Master Ning Yin sat down again, but her mood was different from before. At this moment, she clearly felt the gap between herself and the Princess of England in front of her. Even though she felt that the Princess of England was no more than that, in fact, the gap had always existed.
They say that everyone likes music, and that they should be bosom friends, but what is the reality? When has the British princess ever cared about her own feelings
It was a pity that I was still hesitating about whether to tell others about the music score.
Now there is no more scruples.
"Thank you, Princess." Master Ning Yin said in a low voice.
"Master, this music score has been smudged. If you don't like the one I just wrote, Yuxiu can rewrite the previous one for you. This girl is smart and should remember most of it."
Qu Moying's expression also softened, and he looked as if there was nothing that had made him angry before.
Master Ning Yin felt more and more humiliated, but now was not the time to get angry. He raised his slightly red eyes, and his expression became a little more respectful.
"No need, this is already very good. I was just sad that this piece of paper... the meaning it represents has made the princess' maid feel wronged."
Ning Yin Zhenren said.
"This... is not so good. How about I compensate the real person?" Qu Moying returned to his usual easy-going self, his voice soft and talkative.
