Chapter 198: Jade Whistle

Because the dancing was too relaxed, as the Emperor’s last string of melody was completed, when Zhao Su took back her arms and legs, she was too deep into the drama for a moment, and even bowed to give a Western salute to thank the curtain!

Until the applause of Empress Dowager Lu from the top, followed by the sound of applause from all sides, her mind only returned to the original, turned to look at the emperor, couldn’t help but carry her skirt and run towards her: “Emperor, I’m done dancing!”

The emperor behind the piano stage had his elbow propped up on the piano, looking at her with a slight smile, “Danced very well. Very original.”

These words, which were no more than ordinary words between the Emperor and Zhao Su in normal times, made the arena even quieter at this moment!

Previously, so many people played and danced, but the emperor had never praised half a good word, but he was not stingy with his praise for Zhao Su!

The Pear Garden instructor standing next to him rushed over, ”Dare I ask what kind of dance Minister Zhao did just now? I wonder if I can ask for your instruction?”

Zhao Su only came out of this embarrassment, already great, where else would he dare to mislead others? Panicking, he waved his hand in modesty and politely declined.

Turning around and locking her eyes on Yu Qingping, she walked over with her head held high, “As per Miss Yu’s proposal, I have already danced to toast the Emperor’s birthday, so now I will ask Miss Yu to have a song as well, so that the Emperor can also see your sincerity.”

Yu Qingping’s face turned pale as she looked at all the people around her who were looking towards her, once again not knowing how to get off the stage!

How could this happen?

Zhao Su was clearly uneducated and shouldn’t have learned any skills, but she had just gone and finished a dance in its entirety! This kind of dance she has never seen, she does not know if it is good or not, but she does keep up with the emperor’s zither with every beat, and every one of her body movements is also very beautiful …… This should not be the case!

Originally counted on Zhao Su was afraid to come out, even if the emperor just gave her relief, she came out, Yu Qingping did not think she finished so well!

So she pressed the thought that she would in turn be generalized by her!

She grew up practicing martial arts, and always looked down on those women who put their time and energy into singing and dancing, not to mention dancing in public or playing the qin, she privately even did not have any serious maneuvers in the Gong Shang Jiao Zhen Yu!

“Miss Yu, why don’t you say anything?”

Zhao Su said, “Don’t be a wimp, show us all the skills you know!”

Although from the embarrassment of this whole end of the whole out, but Zhao Su did not forget who is the originator, there is a head of the wrongdoer has a master, this breath to swallow down she is not a person!

“Sister Su!”

Marquis Qing Yun this time looked at the side of the Marquis Jingnan, made a wink over: “still not fast sit back to serve the Queen Dowager?”

Although he also looked at the relief, but do not look at the face of the Buddha, today which is right and which is wrong, everyone has seen in the eyes, weekdays between him and the Marquis of Jingnan quite a lot, in public so forced to ask Yu Qingping, will let each other can not stand.

Zhao Su received the gaze of Marquis Qingyun, and did not say anything further.

But Yu Qingping felt more and more ashamed and angry, and only felt that Marquis Qingyuan’s father and daughter treated her as a pitiful person!

When is it someone else’s turn to pity her?

Her hands trembled, and she took out the jade whistle in her sleeve when she asked, “I have practiced martial arts since I was young, but today’s occasion is not suitable for roughing up, I only have a song here, but I hope it can show my sincerity in wishing for a happy birthday!”

After saying that, she put the jade whistle to her mouth, and the whistle’s unique clear tone rang out.

Unexpectedly she really had a program, although it was only a two-inch long, like a piccolo and like a whistle, a musical instrument she had never seen before, and the tune was also very simple, like a light and slightly childish nursery rhyme, but it could not help but be said that she did blow out the tune.

“How do I feel ……”

After listening for a while she turned to the emperor, just to say that feel this tune is somewhat familiar, see the original leisurely at ease with the emperor, as if he heard what the sound of fear, at this moment stopped the body to look at Yu Qingping, coronet after a pair of phoenix eyes are blooming out of the burning light ……

Zhao Su slightly pause, and then go to see Yu Qingping, only to see her face of anger has disappeared, playing the piccolo of her eyes straight with the emperor, the eyes of the waves of light surging ……

“Reporting back to the emperor, my daughter has finished blowing.”

Yu Qingping, who had already put down the jade whistle, walked in front of the emperor and curtsied.

When she looked up she saw a hand had reached out in front of him, “Bring it.”

Yu Qingping accepted good advice and offered the jade whistle with both hands.

The emperor took it in his hands and held it in his hands, staring at it.

Zhao Su stood at the side, saw this jade whistle was bamboo shoot-shaped, translucent, in the middle of a few wisps of smoke emerald color, is a general kind of jade, do not see how expensive. There are a few small holes on it, and then vaguely engraved with words.

And then over it to see the emperor’s look, the emperor has long since returned to normal, but the eyebrows are still slightly knitted up, the attitude of Yu Qingping is not like the previous love and care.

“What is this?”

Zhao Su realized that this whistle is a bit strange.

The emperor did not answer her, but handed the whistle back to Yu Qingping and said, “It’s very special.”

Just these three words, even far less than the previous praise of Zhao Su, but Yu Qingping is like a great favor, she did not go to continue the whistle, but raised her lips and bowed her head: “I also think it’s very extraordinary, so I bring it with me at all times. If the emperor is happy to see it, I would like to offer it to the emperor as a birthday gift!”

“How can I take away someone’s love? I appreciate your feelings.”

The emperor handed the whistle to Si Xi, signaling him to guard it and hand it back, then returned behind the imperial case.

The emperor’s previous demeanor was only a short moment, his expression was still hidden behind the tassel, and thus he saw only a few people around him. At this moment he returned to his original position, the crowd thought that the storm had passed, and the next round of performances began below.

Zhao Su also returned to the side of Empress Dowager Lu, from his angle but can see the emperor’s face, even if he is still a look of indifference, she also inexplicably see that he has a few distracted.

Then looked at Yu Qingping, the same also sat back to the original position of her posture relaxation, eyebrows stretching, as if a steady victory as what.

Zhao Su squeezed the jade calabash in her hand and cast her gaze back down to the court, looking at the boudoir girl who was concentrating on playing the pipa, and finding her original intention of sitting here recently –

She was just a person who accompanied her traveling seniors to watch the play, putting aside such a good play and not watching it, but going to watch those irrelevant ones, it was really a bit of a waste of this vip ticket.

“Mother Mother take a moment to sit down, my son will go in for a moment, go go go go.”

At this time a movement came from the side, the emperor left the table after whispering softly in a low voice and went in the direction of the harem.

Zhao Su Fu looked downwards, listening to the monotonous sound of the zither, inexplicably also felt a few points of meaninglessness.

Putting down the tea, she said to the empress dowager with a sideways glance: “The birthday gift I made for the emperor has not yet had time to offer to go, the empress dowager please allow me to leave for a while.”

Empress Dowager Lu looked at her askance, “Go.”
