On the second day, Jiang Qingxue packed up early. She chose a plain dress, with a bare face, no makeup, and even put on a sickly makeup. When she looked around, she looked like a sick beauty.

After entering the palace, under the guidance of several young eunuchs, we went straight to the Imperial Garden. In the garden, there were pink terraces, pavilions, and pavilions. Flowers were everywhere, and there were even big begonia trees in bloom!

The little eunuch led her into a pavilion, where a guqin had been set up. White gauze curtains were floating around the pavilion. If she sat far away, she might not be able to see her face clearly.

She sat down and tuned the piano, tried playing a few notes, and then sat obediently on the brocade wood, waiting for the arrival of the emperor and his concubines.

Not long after, another nanny came. When she saw her, she asked.

"Are you Mrs. Jiang? Why don't you show your true colors to others?"

Jiang Qingxue replied neither humble nor overbearing.

"The slave's appearance is ugly, I'm afraid it will scare the nobles."

The nanny glared at her angrily. She was indeed a coquettish woman. She had seen this trick of playing hard to get, and her words became even more rude.

"I heard that you can attract bees and butterflies? When His Majesty and the nobles come, you just play the piano. If you are not asked to stop, you are not allowed to stop. Don't have any thoughts that you shouldn't have. This palace is not a street. .”

Jiang Qingxue smiled and nodded.

"The slave family knows."

Mammy came on the order of Concubine Zhao. Concubine Zhao found out somewhere that Prince Xie persuaded the Queen and His Majesty that there was a strange woman in the capital. The sound of the piano could make the petals of flowers fall and attract bees and butterflies.

The emperor felt strange and sent a message to Jiang Qingxue to enter the palace. This made Concubine Zhao quite uneasy, so she sent someone to beat Jiang Qingxue in advance.

After the grandma left, she waited for another cup of tea before she saw people coming to the imperial garden in an endless stream. First they were ministers and their family members, then the concubines, and finally the emperor and empress.

When everyone arrived, the old eunuch hurried over.

"Ms. Jiang, you can start now. You can play any song."

When Jiang Qingxue saw that it was the eunuch from yesterday, she smiled and thanked him.

"Thank you, father-in-law."

As soon as the father-in-law left, Xiao Fuzi suddenly ran down and pointed to the pavilion opposite.

"Sister, Su Yun is here too, right over there. You have to work hard."

Jiang Qingxue looked through the white gauze curtain in the direction Xiao Fuzi pointed, but saw nothing. There were too many people here today, and they were wearing similar official uniforms, so it was hard to tell who was who.

However, the word Su Yun was her motivation. Today, she played the piano as if it were for Su Yun. Once she thought about it, the unhappiness in her heart disappeared.

"Xiao Fuzi, I'm going to work hard on you today, don't forget the steps."

Little Fuzi swooped to the top of the tree.

"Understood, don't worry."

Jiang Qingxue then sat down in front of the piano, placing her slender jade fingers on the strings.

For the first song, she chose the melodious and lingering Butterfly Lovers. As the piano played, several flower trees near her began to rain petals, but it was not obvious yet. Some people were doubtful, thinking that there was wind blowing.

"Why is there no movement? Are you standing too far away?"

"Everything I think about is all rumors. How could such a miracle happen in the world?"

The emperor and the empress didn't care at all. Both of them were attracted by the lingering and pathos music. Not only the two of them, but also some people in the court who knew the music also felt that the music was very clear and beautiful.

Xiao Fuzi was unhappy. Was he doubting his strength? He rushed all the way from the crabapple tree, and then the petals rained all the way to the emperor and empress, falling all over them.

When everyone saw this scene, they all exclaimed.

"Look, look, look, it's there."

"Congratulations to Your Majesty and Your Majesty, the rain of petals is just right."

The emperor stroked his beard, his face stretched.

"Well, that's wonderful, wonderful."

Xiao Fuzi took advantage of the joy of the rain of begonia flowers and sprinkled a handful of powder made from the elixir on another flower tree. The tree was stained with the scent of the elixir, and the butterflies in the garden moved at the smell. They all flew over and danced in circles around the flower trees.

Everyone had never seen such a scene before, and everyone was stunned.

The little princess and the little prince were so happy that they ran towards the butterfly.

"Father, mother, there really are butterflies."

"There are so many butterflies. I want to go over and see them."

The butterflies finished sucking the powder from the tree and began to scatter, continuing to search nearby trees. Xiao Fuzi opened her palms, and the remaining layer of powder in her palms quickly attracted them.

Then, an even more magical scene happened. All the butterflies gathered together, as if they were dancing. Xiao Fuzi tightened his palms and flew over the flower tree, and a group of butterflies also chased after him.

Everyone could not see Xiao Fuzi. They could only hear the melodious music of the piano, like the sounds of nature. They could only see the rain of flower petals flying with the music and fluttering to the ground. They could only see the butterflies following the music and dancing.

The emperor looked at Prince Xie who was standing beside him.

"Qing'an, you really didn't coax me!"

The queen also cast an approving look at Prince Xie.

"Qing An has made great contributions and deserves a reward!"

If this girl is really like what Qing An said, not only has special skills, but also has outstanding appearance, it is not impossible to be included in the harem, as long as she can bring down Concubine Zhao.

Prince Xie smiled and took two steps forward.

"No matter how silly Qing'an is, she doesn't dare to fool your majesty and the empress. Not only does this lady Jiang have great piano skills, but she also has an unparalleled appearance. It's a pity that she keeps her face covered with gauze and refuses to show it to others easily."

The queen gave the emperor a meaningful look and smiled.

"Uh, is there anything else? I would like to see how beautiful this Lady Jiang is? Could it be that she wanted to outshine all the other sisters in the harem, so she went into the palace with her face covered?"

Su Yun, who was standing not far away, heard the voices here, and the image of Jiang Qingxue suddenly flashed in her mind. She also had the surname Jiang, and was also a beautiful woman. How could it be such a coincidence?

However, Mrs. Jiang from Liuhua Town is the proprietress of an inn, and she is very good at business. She may not be able to play the piano, let alone make flower petals fall and attract butterflies.

He smiled and shook his head. He still owed Mrs. Jiang fifty taels of silver. When he collected enough, he would have her sent to Liuhua Town as soon as possible, and this worry would be over.

……

Jiang Qingxue played three pieces in a row. All three pieces were modern pieces. Not only was this refreshing, but even if she made a mistake, no one would notice.

The sound of the piano stopped, and the rain of petals slowly stopped. Only the butterflies were alive. They had just tasted the sweetness, and were still flying among the flowers, searching for them, unwilling to disperse for a long time.

Everyone clapped their hands and marveled as they woke up from a dream.

"Your Majesty, seeing it is better than hearing it a hundred times. Today is an eye-opener for me."

"What a strange woman. Her music can move all living beings. She is worthy of the title of "Piano Fairy"!

Emperor Longyan was delighted and waved his hand.

"Go and tell Mrs. Jiang."
