Chapter 79: 古木红琴

Chapter 79: Ancient Red Wooden Harp (Guqin) 

“Who is sitting on that sedan chair? I took a peek just now. That look is simply matchless beauty!”

“Li Xia Palace and Liu Yun Palace are not in this direction, I think it should come out from the Cold Palace, and the one sitting on it should be that of Niang Niang from the Cold Palace.”

“Niang Niang from the Cold Palace? Is that the one who discovered and she can produce ten dan of grain per mu?”

“Of course, this Cold Palace only holds this one in total, but now it seems that this Niang Niang from the Cold Palace is probably going to turn over a new leaf.”

“Yes, there is such a face in this world, turning over is just the matter sooner or later…”

The palace maids gathered together and whispered before then they left.

The phoenix chauffeur stopped at the gate of Shu Xin Hall.

After entering, she was directly taken to the side hall to bathe and incense and re-freshen up again. 

Beside her, there was an expert Mama who had been giving her advice on what she needed to pay attention to in the process of serving in the bed.

By the time she was all done, it was almost time.

What Lu Yunluo imagined of the scene where she was being stripped naked and wrapped in a quilt and carried to the emperor’s bed did not appear.

Lu Yunluo quietly asked Aunt He, Aunt He answered her, the rank of imperial concubines below Guiren (Noble Consort) will be like that.

Moreover, to be able to directly enter Shu Xin hall bathing and washing, that is only the queen would have such kind of treatment.

Other concubines want to serve in the bed, in addition to the Emperor visit in that they are only carried to the courtyard next to Shu Xin Hall, and then go through the side door in order to come in.

When she learnt that she didn’t have to strip naked and wrap the quilt, Lu Yunluo was in a very good mood.

As she said earlier, she did not have to turn from one side to the other side, there were so many things to do. 

Everything’s busy is finally done. 

The palace maid came over to lead the way, through the long and winding corridors, leading her to the inner room of the main hall, where the Emperor usually sleeps.

Then just wait here for the Emperor to come over.

This side of the room was very huge.

In addition to the bedroom inside, there are two or three rooms outside.

One of them had a floor-to-ceiling bookshelf and a mahogany narrow long desk with a teapot and a purple incense burner on it.

At one glance, it was the place where Ji Wu Jue usually sat and read before going to bed.

Lu Yunluo sat down here, picked up the teapot and gave herself a cup of tea, feeling a little bored after waiting for half a day.

So she turned around in several rooms, which surprisingly allowed her to discover an ancient red wooden zither (guqin). 

For some unknown reason, the first time she saw this zither, she felt so familiar, however, how could she not recall where she had seen it before.

Her fingertips stroked the strings of the zither, and a string of nice sounding notes was emitted.

The tone of this guqin was pretty good.

In her fused memories, the original body had learnt from the capital’s most famous music master since she was a child, and her level of mastery in sound and rhythm were still quite high.

Looking at this ancient and simple wooden zither, her hand was somewhat itchy, wanting to play with it.

Just as soon as she took her seat, a cool sheet music sprang up in her mind, and with a light touch of her fingertips, all of a sudden, a piece of beautiful and smooth zither sound like flowing clouds and water or a natural and spontaneous- spread out in her fingertips.

Lu Yunluo played with great devotion (so absorbed in it) 

So much so that when Ji Wu Jue came, she didn’t even realize it.

Ji Wu Jue stood in the doorway and listened for a long time. His eyes finally fell on the red jade bracelet on Lu Yunluo’s wrist, his already chilly eyes became even more like an abyss, which was difficult to understand.

One song ended.

Lu Yunluo’s entire body was soothed.

She didn’t expect that playing the zither could be so enjoyable.

At this time, a palace maid came in from outside, almost as old as her, and said after bowing to her, “Niang Niang, Eunuch Cao just came over to pass on the message that the Emperor said that he’s afraid that he’ll have to work on the memorial throne or decree tonight until tomorrow morning, and that if Your Highness is tired, Niang Niang can take a rest first.”
