Jiang Jingyu tightened her hands and her lower lip turned white from biting hard.
Damn it!
What does this tyrant want to do again?
Jiang Jingyu greeted the tyrant eight hundred times in his heart and turned around with a smile.
"Brother Guard, do you have any other orders?"
Di Yu said calmly: "Since you are a beautiful girl, you should have a piano partner during the piano selection. Why do you come to the piano room to practice the piano in the middle of the night?"
Jiang Jingyu didn't answer but asked: "Don't you know, brother guard? There will be a palace banquet in half a month, and those who are good at the piano can lead the dance. The reason why I secretly came to the piano room in the middle of the night is to win the position of leading the dance."
Di Yu's eyes flashed slightly, thinking of the palace banquet half a month later.
It turned out that she secretly came to the piano room to practice every night in order to win the position of lead dancer.
Emperor Yu asked again: "Why do you insist on competing for the position of leading dancer?"
"Of course it's to shine at the palace banquet and make His Majesty happy!"
After Jiang Jingyu finished speaking, he looked at Di Yu's face and continued to flatter him.
"Your Majesty is brave and good at fighting, wise and mighty. He has always been a god in my heart! If I can make your Majesty smile, I will definitely practice the piano skill well even if I don't eat, drink or sleep!"
"You are honest."
Di Yu sneered and took a deep look at Jiang Jingyu.
Was she practicing so hard just to make him happy?
"Brother Guard, do you have anything else to do? If it's okay, I won't disturb your rest."
Jiang Jingyu stepped back unconsciously, trying to escape from under Di Yu's nose as soon as possible.
Di Yu walked up to Jiang Jingyu and looked at her condescendingly.
"Aren't you going to practice piano skills? Why are you standing there in a daze?"
Warm breath sprayed on Jiang Jingyu's face. Her pupils suddenly shrank and her body moved back uncontrollably.
"You, you won't drive me away?"
Emperor Yu said without changing his expression: "As a guard of the palace, it is my duty to share your majesty's worries. Since you are only thinking about pleasing your majesty, I will naturally not drive you away."
Jiang Jingyu lowered her eyes, confused for a moment about Di Yu's thoughts.
But since Di Yu said he wouldn't drive her away, she was already here, so why not practice a piece of music before leaving.
"Then thank you guard for being so accommodating."
After Jiang Jingyu finished speaking, he turned around and walked out of the inner room and came to the piano room.
Behind him, Di Yu also followed.
Jiang Jingyu came to sit in front of Duyou Qin, and Di Yu followed her and sat at another Qin table.
Jiang Jingyu caught a glimpse of his tall figure from the corner of her eye and looked back: "What else can I do, brother guard?"
"I once served His Majesty, and I have some knowledge of His Majesty's favorite piano skills. Since you want to please Your Majesty through your piano skills, I will naturally give you some advice."
Jiang Jingyu twitched the corner of his mouth, ignored Di Yu, lowered his head and started playing the piano.
The green-white jade fingers stirred the strings, moving like a breeze, and the sound of the piano sounded as moist as rain, carrying a soft breath, purifying the heart flute.
Jiang Jingyu was fascinated, immersed in his own thoughts.
Di Yu leaned on the back of his chair, his charming peach blossom eyes flashing with a faint light, locked tightly on Jiang Jingyu.
He quietly listened to the lingering sound of the piano that echoed in the piano room, and the anger and irritability during the day subsided at this moment.
As the last note fell, Jiang Jingyu stopped plucking the strings and placed his hands on the strings.
There was no movement behind him, and when Jiang Jingyu turned around, Di Yu was already asleep on the table.
The corner of Jiang Jingyu's mouth twitched. No wonder the tyrant found every excuse to keep her, and his emotions used the sound of her piano as a lullaby!
Jiang Jingyu stood up and walked to Di Yu, bending down to look at him carefully.
Tsk tsk, I have to say that this tyrant looks quite evil. If his cruel and bloodthirsty temper can be restrained, will he be able to charm the three thousand beauties in the palace of death with his appearance?
Demo, I can’t help but be obsessed with you!
The night was falling, and the breeze blew in through the window, bringing a bit of coolness.
Jiang Jingyu rubbed his arms, ran to the inner room, took a blanket and put it on Di Yu, and then quietly left the piano room.
The next day, the sky turned white.
Di Yu's arm went numb and he woke up.
As he stood up, the blanket fell down.
He bent down to pick up the blanket on the ground, held it in his hands and took a look.
Every frame of memory in my mind is that of the girl last night with bright eyes and a coquettish smile.
His eyes fell on the back of the hand holding the blanket, which seemed to still retain the residual warmth of her palm.
"His Majesty."
Eunuch Su's voice sounded outside the piano room door, bringing Di Yu back from his thoughts.
Di Yu pursed his lips as his thoughts were interrupted, seeming a little displeased.
"Come in."
After leaving these solemn words, Di Yu took the blanket and walked towards the inner room.
Led by Eunuch Su, a group of palace attendants entered the piano room one after another and washed and changed Emperor Yu's clothes as usual.
Eunuch Su observed Di Yu's face from the side and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that his face was calm.
It seems that His Majesty has calmed down a bit last night, otherwise there will be another bloody storm when he goes to court today!
Emperor Yu opened his arms and allowed the palace people to put on layer after layer of complicated and retro imperial robes.
"How are you preparing for the palace banquet in half a month?"
Di Yu spoke calmly.
Eunuch Su said hurriedly: "I'm ready to reply to Your Majesty!"
After Eunuch Su on the side finished his reply, he quietly raised his head and glanced at Di Yu. In the past two days, he had become increasingly unclear about His Majesty's thoughts.
Yesterday in the court hall, the Prime Minister pressed forward step by step, angering Sheng Yan, and even he was worried about the Prime Minister.
Just when he thought that His Majesty would severely punish the Prime Minister for his transgression, His Majesty only ordered the people who spread the rumors to be found out and did not punish the Prime Minister.
This incident alone was enough to shock him, and now His Majesty actually asked about the palace banquet.
His Majesty never cared about these things in the past. Even showing up at the palace banquet was just a decision made after weighing the matter.
What's happening now?
"Go to the Jiaofang Si Tong to tell you that as for the candidate for the lead dancer at the palace banquet, I want to hear about the most outstanding piano skills among this year's show girls. If anyone bribes behind the scenes, I will not be lenient."
"yes!"
Eunuch Su nodded in agreement and put this matter at the top of his mind.
His Majesty specifically warned about this matter. Could it be that he heard that among the young ladies of this year, there is a talent with outstanding piano skills?
It seemed that he would have to go to the Jiaofangsi in person later to give the people in the Jiaofangsi the opportunity to prepare for the palace banquet in advance.
In the past, Eunuch Su had never been to Jiaofangsi in person for palace banquets, and the palace officials below would pass the news on his behalf.
But this palace banquet was different. His Majesty was so concerned about this palace banquet that he had to go to the Jiaofang Division in person to feel at ease.
Di Yu's eyes flashed slightly.
Without others to hinder her, with her piano skills, she was the one to lead the dance.
At the palace banquet half a month later, I wonder how the cat would react when seeing him...?
