What was the point of giving her a fox fur tonight? Was he trying to seduce his sister-in-law with this
Why, he actually fell in love with his sister-in-law this time? He fell in love with the woman he had used before
However, his good brother seemed to have forgotten that she was his woman, and even if he, Shangguan Jinghong, did not love her, he, Shangguan Jingcong, could never touch her in the slightest.
She can only be his!
Qiaochu stood still and asked the man behind the zither calmly, "Your Highness, can I play the flute? Qiaochu is not familiar with Dongling music, and is not as smart as my master and Fang Zhubu. We can play together after a little discussion. How would you like to play together?"
The prince raised his eyebrows, and then suddenly retracted his surprise.
Everyone could tell from her words that she was only a rough expert at playing the flute. The flute is easier to play than the qin and zheng. But precisely because it is easy, it is even more difficult to reach a certain level.
The provocative words just now really worked. It's just that you are the best. Even if you come out, what's the use? Don't you know that even if you can play the flute, Shangguan Jinghong and Shen Qingling have already been there. If you imitate their strengths, you will only show your shortcomings.
The emperor sighed and said, "Qiao Fei, you should do the same as your sister and perform a northern folk dance for me. The Crown Princess just performed a little bit, and I haven't seen enough. I think everyone else has too."
The emperor clearly intended to give Qiaochu a way out. Everyone present, except those in the prince's mansion and those who were watching the fun at the bonfire, breathed a sigh of relief. But Qiaochu seemed to be serious. She covered her mouth and coughed softly, thanked him, and said that since the flute had been chosen, she should use it. She was still looking at the prince, as if she was still waiting for his answer.
All of a sudden, everyone's expression changed and they shook their heads secretly, thinking that Qiaochu was too stubborn.
Prince Ning thought, Qiaochu was undoubtedly very smart in the hunting competition, why is she confused by this dispute of pride now? Originally, she could have tried to speak up and take the initiative to play the repertoire. She is a woman, and the prince would not bother to compete with her for the sake of face. Now it is troublesome.
The emperor was a little annoyed when he saw this, and said calmly: "Well, let's play the piano and flute together."

The prince played the zither, his lips slightly curved, but his eyes were unusually sharp. He smiled gently and said, "Father, everyone, since Concubine Qiao is not familiar with the Dongling music, I will practice it a few times first. When Concubine Qiao has memorized the music, she can play it for me."
"In fact, I've heard this piece of music before, so there's no need to practice it." As soon as he stopped talking, his fingers pressed the strings, and the melody flowed out like flowing water.
Everyone was immediately shocked. The prince played the same piece of music that King Rui and Fang Jing had just played. Even those who were well-versed in music had never heard that piece of music before.
It was not a praise of war, nor was it a tune of a happy life, but it had a sense of silent expression of sincere feelings. In addition, King Rui and Fang Jing were both highly skilled in singing. When the song started, it seemed as if all kinds of love affairs in the mundane world were included in it, and it was full of romance, but people had no control over it at all. In a trance, it made people feel that if they had one person who understood them, they would not ask for anything else, and they were immersed in it and intoxicated.
The song sung by Rui Wang Bao is "Asking about Love".
At this time, the piece of music was played by the prince. Although the instruments were changed, the style and charm remained the same and were in no way inferior. The most amazing thing was that the prince was able to play it after only listening to it once.
This is the talent of the Crown Prince, unparalleled at the time.
Applause broke out again.
As the applause died down, more people looked at Princess Rui, who was standing in front of the Crown Prince's desk with a pale face.
Prince Ning and the others cried out in secret that something was wrong. Zong Pu asked Pei Lan in a low voice, "If Madam were to play this piece, how long would it take for Madam to learn it?"
Perrin smiled bitterly and said, "It will take at least half an hour at the fastest."
Peilan is good at music, and it would still take her half an hour. Even if Qiaochu could reach Peilan's level, how could the prince wait for her for half an hour
Everyone's heart sank. Prince Ning was sharp-eyed and saw Prince Rui's sleeves move slightly. Prince Rui immediately noticed his gaze and nodded slightly. Prince Ning understood at once that Prince Rui had figured out a way to help Qiao Chu. When the time came, he would use fine needles to lock her acupuncture points and knock her unconscious.
Someone nearby moved slightly, and King Ning looked over and saw that it was King Xia, who had a stern look on his face and seemed to be in a very urgent situation.
Shen Qingling lowered her head and glanced at the flute in her hand. There was no need to look closely at Lang Fei. She raised her eyebrows, and... the corners of her lips curved slightly.
"Your Majesty is so kind, this Concubine Qiao..." Concubine Zhuang sighed softly.
"Don't talk about her. It's annoying to hear."
A smile appeared in Concubine Zhuang's eyes. The emperor frowned and waved his hand, but his hand suddenly stopped in mid-air.
I don't know when a light flute sound like smoke began to blend into the sound of the piano.
This sudden insertion into the piano sound is not abrupt at all, giving people the feeling of reaching the end of the mountains and rivers and seeing a new path.
Unlike He Rui and Fang, the flute lacks any tension or emotion. The indifferent rhythm seems to have merged with the piano, yet it seems to have always been separate, from beginning to end, light and indifferent.
However, just this blandness is enough to make people stunned.
All the time you can hear the player's gentle breathing, it seems that she has tried her best to play the song "Asking about Love", but it seems that even though she has tried her best, she still can't express her feelings, and only this piece of light music remains, which is so light that if you don't pay attention, it will disappear with the wind in the dark night.
If the flute playing of the two princes is touching, and the piano playing of the crown prince is amazing, then this flute playing makes people want to cry.
When the song was repeated twice and the sounds of the piano and flute suddenly stopped, most of the people around the campfire stood up, as if they were surprised that the music had stopped suddenly. Shouldn't it continue? It seemed that they had forgotten that every song has an end.
Unlike before, no one applauded this time.

Their eyes all fell on the woman holding the jade flute. They saw her bow to the prince, who had a frown on his brows and a look of loss. They saw her walk to the front of the high table and kneel down to thank the emperor. They saw her turn around and face the light and darkness of the bonfire, nodding in return to everyone.
Finally, she walked up to the man in white robe and iron mask, holding a flute in her hand.
She stretched out her sleeves and wiped them gently. Finally, she presented the flute to the man with both hands.
After a while, with the flute still in her hand, Qiaochu frowned slightly and slowly raised her head, only to see Prince Rui staring at her closely. She seemed to have seen that look on the prince's face, a look of loss and disappointment, but there was a hint of coercion in his eyes, and his gaze poked at her face sharply, as if there was something shameful on her face.
"It should be clean now." She didn't care and said it lightly, then stretched out her sleeve to wipe the flute carefully. Finally, she reached out and took his big hand and put the flute back in his palm.
The atmosphere around her was a little stagnant. She was a little surprised. At this moment, she returned something that did not belong to her. She was about to leave the aura of this annoying man. Just as she pulled her fingers away, he held her hand tightly with the flute. It was so tight that she suddenly felt pain.
Her heart sank, and suddenly she heard the prince's voice coming from behind her, "Empress Qiao, it is impolite not to return the favor. Since you have sung a song with me, I will sing with you, please!"
Qiaochu was stunned. The previous song had consumed a lot of her energy. When the prince sang, she felt dizzy and stumbled. She was already embraced by King Rui. King Rui held her tightly with one hand and held the flute with the other. He said in a deep voice: "Second brother, my wife is not feeling well. Since you are in a good mood, let Jinghong play the next song for you."

Qiaochu listened to this defense and twitched the corners of her mouth. She felt more and more exhausted. She knew that it was only because of King Xia's pill that she had been able to hold on until now, but now, she just wanted to go back to sleep.
The song just now seemed to have exceeded the prince's expectations. The prince was a typical villain, so how could he let it go? She didn't want to have any contact with the man next to her. The challenge was just the right time to get away. She would play one more song and then go back... So, she nodded and said, "Okay, then please teach me, Your Highness."
There was a sound of applause, and soon the whole place was filled with brilliant applause. The first voice that came from the bonfire was the voice of the soldiers, "Play another song..."
From the high platform, the emperor's voice could be heard with a laugh, "The song that the Crown Prince and Concubine Qiao just performed was truly wonderful! It turns out that Concubine Qiao's skills are just as exquisite as the Crown Princess said. Qiao Qing has indeed raised a good daughter."
Ji Qiaochu thanked him quickly, and she looked at King Rui gently. King Rui stared at her for a moment with deep eyes, and then slowly let go of her hand. On both sides, Shen, Lang, and Erqiao all changed their expressions slightly, but you couldn't notice it if you didn't look closely. But Qiaorong opened her mouth wide, looking surprised. Compared with these women, Qiaorong might be more lovely.
Prince Ning, Pei Lan and others were all pleasantly surprised. Everyone at the table in Prince Rui's mansion stood up. Jing Ping and others all looked at her with a smile. Only Zong Pu was surprised, but frowned slightly. His eyes slightly glanced at Prince Xia. He stared at her deeply, with a faint light in his eyes. How lucky she was to have such a friend.
"Here."
Just as Ma was about to walk forward, her husband handed her the flute. She glanced at the flute and said calmly, "No, the flute...is not the instrument I am best at."
In fact, it was not surprising that she could play the flute. She once told the four beauties that Qiaochu was not very good at the three arts of music, chess, calligraphy and painting. According to Qiaochu's upbringing, she should not be able to play them, but Hailan knew a lot about ancient music.
When the burial objects of the ancient corpses were scarce, the clothes were badly damaged, and the doctor was unable to determine the ownership of the tombs, she used a few broken music scores buried with the corpses to identify the exact years of the two ancient tombs.
Prince Rui's expression changed slightly, and his eyes suddenly became sharp. She saw that the joints of his hands holding the flute were slightly pale.
In the eyes of others, their posture was intimate, and she just left his arms just now.
In the eyes of others, her words were also shocking, because she said, the flute... is not the instrument I am best at.
She slowly walked towards the prince and said with a gentle smile, "Your Highness, Qiaochu is going to sing a piece this time. Will you join in?"
"Your Highness?"
The prince had been staring at her, but at this moment, he suddenly realized his mistake, covered his sleeve with his hands, coughed, narrowed his eyes and said, "Yes, Concubine Qiao leads the music, and I will sing along. May I ask what instrument Concubine Qiao is good at?"
Everyone was looking at her, and there was a special gaze that was following her vaguely. This reminded her, and thinking about the frightening doubt just now, she suddenly had a bold idea!
But how should she deal with this? She thought about it and walked to the prince and asked, "Your Highness, can you give way to me?"
"It turns out that Concubine Qiao is good at playing the zheng." The prince's eyes deepened, and he spoke lightly, then walked out from the desk.
Qiaochu shook her head. She was thinking about the important matter and had to think of a solution before she started playing. So she didn't dare to answer, fearing that she would be distracted. She put her hands on the zither and tried to tune a few notes. Then she slowly walked to the seven-stringed harp next to her and tried it for a while. Finally, she picked up the pipa and plucked it a few more times.
"Has Concubine Qiao chosen her musical instrument?"

The emperor's voice came from the high platform, and it sounded full of surprise. She was startled, and her heart suddenly moved. She made up her mind instantly. She held the pipa and bowed, smiling, "Okay, Your Majesty, this is it."
She was stunned again. Everyone on the opposite side stared at her in disbelief. Even the prince who was "invited" by her seemed to have a strange look on his face.
Little did she know that, for her, testing the tone and musical sense just now was just a way to delay time, but for the people present, it was... a display!
She can actually play all three musical instruments on the table.
There are many people present who are proficient in musical instruments, but even talented women like Lang Linling and Wang Yuzhi who focus on the four arts cannot be said to be proficient. But only the Crown Prince, Prince Rui, and Peilan are proficient in multiple instruments...
Although Qiaochu was just trying out the instrument, his starting point, fingering and even melody were not random. Although the tune was not like the current style of music in Dongling, it was indeed rhythmic.
Her hair was tied in a light bun, with a few orchid pearls pinned to her hair. Two jasper hairpins were pinned diagonally on her bun. She was wearing a simple purple-blue dress.
