Ren Yaoqi couldn't help but smile and beg for mercy: "princess, please forgive me. Can't I admit my mistake? I shouldn't have been ignorant of the greatness of heaven and earth, and made fun of the princess. "

Xiao Jinglin quietly curved the corner of her mouth: "no way! You have to learn! "

"Your stick I can't hold your gun. How can I learn it? " Ren Yaoqi looks at her smile and wants to protest without tears.

Xiao Jinglin is very proud to see Ren Yaoqi so. She has been practicing the piano with her for so long, and her image of wisdom and martial arts is almost all gone.

Ren Yao usually teases her, she also tolerates, who let her be inferior to others?

However, as a martial arts practitioner, Princess Xiao's master taught her a truth early in the morning: it doesn't matter if you lose temporarily. While trying to improve your own force, you should also wait for an opportunity to find out the enemy's flaws, and then find the court from other places. This is the so-called "flexing and stretching".

Xiao Jinglin made a gesture and thought about it and said mercifully, "if you can't hold the gun, then practice your sword."

Then, without waiting for Ren Yaoqi to protest, she happily told Hongying, "go and get that" snow coat. "

After a while, Hongying came out with a brocade box. After opening it, it was a short sword with snow-white body and about eight or nine inches in length.

Xiao Jinglin raised her jaw toward the dagger in Hongying's hand: "you can take it and try it."

Although Ren Yaoqi didn't practice martial arts and didn't know weapons, she also appreciated beautiful things as a woman. This sword looked very delicate, so she took it from Hongying.

"Why? So light? " Ren Yaoqi took the sword to his hand and found that its weight was equivalent to that of a bamboo sword. He was surprised. In her impression, weapons are very heavy, her father had practiced that she could not move. This sword is like iron, not iron, like jade or jade. I don't know what material it is.

"This is a tribute given to the imperial court by a small island country in the south. It is said that it was made from a special kind of stone on their island. The Emperor gave the sword to his son, who gave it to me. I've tried, and it's very sharp. If you're willing to follow me to practice my sword, I'll give it to you, OK? " Xiao Jinglin saw that Ren Yaoqi liked this sword, which was not practical and flowery in her eyes, and began to seduce him.

Ren Yao period busy way: "since the son of the world gives you, also is the tribute, how can I want."

Xiao Jinglin didn't care and said: "the imperial court rewards a lot of tributes every year to show their gratitude. Can't they all offer up? The son of the world likes to send these delicate things which are not suitable for use, but I can't use them here. " Its tone is extremely contemptuous.

Xiao Jinglin does not think much of her elder brother who is far away from the capital. He who dislikes other people's women is not as good as his second brother.

It's not easy for Ren Yao to answer.

Xiao Jinglin handed the gun to Hongying, and then took the sword from Ren Yaoqi's hand. After thinking about it, she looked at Ren Yaoqi with disdain: "I know you must be afraid of being rude in practicing martial arts. You are not good at fighting and killing. Well, I'll teach you a good dance

With that, Xiao Jinglin began to dance in the courtyard with a shake of her wrist.

Different from her fierce and murderous manner when playing with guns, Xiao Jinglin seems to be trying to make Ren Yaoqi see more clearly. Her movements are extremely slow, but she is also fluent and sensitive. She harmoniously combines fencing with women's tenderness. She has an indescribable elegance.

With her movements, the fallen leaves in the courtyard were also lifted by her sword wind, which added a bit of magnificence and mystery to the sword dance.

Ren Yaoqi couldn't help but be fascinated, until Xiao Jinglin stopped her movements, she stroked her hands and said, "is this the sword dance? It's a beautiful dance. "

Xiao Jinglin was ungrateful when she heard the words: "I know you like this kind of soft and impractical flower handle. But this is swordsmanship, not sword dance. I just changed it a little and slowed down. Although it's no big use against the enemy, it's enough to keep fit. You are weak, and your qi and blood are weak. It's good for your health to practice this everyday. "

What else should Xiao Jinglin say? Dashu Jin, the servant girl beside the princess, comes in and says that Mrs Xu has come. The princess asks Xiao Jinglin to go.

Xiao Jinglin stopped talking and said to Ren Yaoqi, "it's settled. I'll practice sword with me for half an hour every day. This snow coated sword will be put here for the time being, and you can take it back when you learn it."

Ren Yaoqi knew that Xiao Jinglin wanted her to practice sword, but she was more for her good. Her constitution is poor, although it is not obvious in weekdays, it is easy to catch cold in autumn and winter when it is cold, and it is not easy to get well once she is ill.

So Xiao Jinglin said so, and Ren Yaoqi did not refuse.

When Ren Yaoqi went to Jiuyang hall with Xiao Jinglin, Wang Fei was talking with a middle-aged woman who looked like she was in her early 40s.

Ren Yaoqi was surprised to know that the woman should be Mrs. Xu. Mrs. Xu's Ouyang family should be over 50 years old, but she doesn't want to look tender.

Ouyang's appearance is not too good, just elegant. And her face is a little pale, but the color of her lips is a little dark, it seems that her body is not very good.However, Ouyang has a kind of elegant and gentle temperament from Jiangnan scholarly family.

Ouyang's temperament is different from that of aunt Fang, Madame Fang and other women in the south of the Yangtze River. She has a more elegant demeanor of "poetry and calligraphy in her abdomen", which makes her only six points. Her appearance has been improved by two or three points, and her charm has become more and more precipitated with the growth of her age.

During Ren Yao's previous life, she often heard Mr. Pei mention his dead wife. She also wondered what kind of woman could make him sigh "Wu Shan is not cloud" and did not remarry after his wife died.

Now she saw Mrs. Xu, and the image of Mrs. Xu coincided with the imagination of Mrs. Pei in her mind.

Although Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Pei are about 20 years different in age, they are not siblings, but they should have similarities. Unfortunately, at this time, Mrs. Pei has passed away for nearly two years. She has no chance to see Mrs. Pei again.

After seeing the ceremony, Ren Yaoqi had been betting on Ouyang for a long time. Ouyang looked at her. After Ren Yaoqi reacted, she was quite embarrassed. However, Ouyang gave her a broad and soothing smile and said, "this is the five girls of Ren family? Just now I heard the princess mention you, saying that you are very good at playing the piano. "

Ouyang's voice is a little low, but the tone is very soft and gentle, which makes people feel like a spring breeze. It is easy to make people feel good and believe in Nai.

"It's just that I learned more at home. It's the princess's fault." Ren Yao period road.

"I think you play very well," Xiao Jinglin said

Although Princess Xiao is occasionally dissatisfied that she has lost her master style in front of Ren Yaoqi, she still gives her intimate friend face in front of others.

You don't want Ouyang to laugh at her: "in the eyes of the princess, I'm afraid it's better than you, right? It's good if you don't praise me. I'd like to let the five girls play a song

Xiao Jinglin didn't get angry when she heard the speech. Instead, she laughed. She blinked at Ren Yaoqi, bringing the liveliness and agility of a girl of her age.

Ouyang saw some surprised, can not help but also looked at Ren Yao period a few eyes.

Ren Yaoqi, however, can see from Xiao Jinglin's attitude that she has different attitudes towards Ouyang and other housewives.

If other ladies and wives are present, Xiao Jinglin will only put on a cold face, which makes people feel that Princess Xiao is not easy to get close to, so that those who want to get close to her will retreat in the face of difficulties.

The princess said with a smile: "Sir, listen to them play again, but I can put it in front of me first. If liner can't pass the level of Mr. today, she will have to practice for me for four hours every day in the next two days."

Xiao Jinglin's face was stiff.

Ouyang looked at Xiao Jinglin with a smile and said to the princess, "the princess asked me to be the villain today? That's not good. "

Ren Yaoqi was surprised when she heard the princess's address to Ouyang. Only the teacher who had the kindness to teach her would she honor him.

Can Ouyang family and princess still be apprentices?

When they all moved to make a side hall for Ren Yaohua's piano room, Xiao Jinglin whispered in Ren Yaoqi's ear: "my mother's concubine used to worship Mrs. Xu when she was young, and she learned from Mrs. Xu's music, chess, calligraphy and painting. When she was young, Mrs. Xu was a famous talented woman in Kyoto. The late emperor once praised her for her talent as a number one scholar. "

It was only then that Ren Yao understood.

Today, Ouyang was specially invited by the imperial concubine. Every year, the gold banquet of the Yun family will let all the young ladies perform their talents. Finally, several outstanding girls will be selected.

Ouyang was one of the people who evaluated the talents of the ladies. Because of her position and knowledge, her opinions were the basis of other ladies participating in the contest.

In order to avoid suspicion, other people would not invite Ouyang family into the mansion at this time, but the Yanbei palace doesn't need to pay attention to this rule.

In addition to the personal relationship between Princess Yanbei and Ouyang, the Qianjin banquet is the same as the Dragon Boat Race of the last Su family's Dragon Boat Festival. As long as the Yanbei palace is attended, the crown will come from Yanbei palace, which is a well-known practice.

The princess invited Ouyang to listen to Xiao Jinglin playing the piano, but she didn't want to make Xiao Jinglin's level far away from the crown's position too vague to be teased behind the scenes.

After all, false name is for others to see, real ability is their own.

Xiao Jinglin has been practicing a song "moon full of Guanshan" these days. She is already very proficient in playing it. As soon as she began to pick the strings, Ouyang could not help nodding when he saw the gesture of raising her hand and playing the piano.

Ouyang is clear about the level of Xiao Jinglin's piano skills before. If you look at her like this today, you can see that she has worked hard these days.

Of course, Xiao Jinglin's level can't be compared with a real master, but at least she won't lose face at the golden banquet.

When Xiao Jinglin closed the song, Ouyang said with a smile: "it seems that I can't be a villain today. The princess has made great progress in Qin skills."

Although Xiao Jinglin didn't show anything on her face, Ren Yaoqi could see that Princess Xiao was already quietly proud at the moment, because she took a special look at her side.Ouyang seemed to see what Xiao Jinglin was thinking. However, as soon as she turned her voice, she said in a warm voice: "only the princess must understand that playing the piano, like many things in the world, can not be accomplished overnight. After all, expedient measures are only expedient measures. Steadfast and steady measures are the way of long-term survival. Never think of a shortcut to go and waste basic skills. Otherwise, once you meet a real master, you will suffer a great loss. "

Hearing this, Xiao Jinglin quickly cleaned up her complacency and nodded to listen to the instruction: "yes, madam, Jinglin abides by the instruction."

The princess was also very satisfied with her daughter's performance today. She thought that as long as her daughter was calm and willing to learn, it would not be a rotten tree.

As a mother, the princess still hopes that Xiao Jinglin can learn some piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and understand the way of living in the inner house, as ordinary women do, because no matter how strong her daughter is, she will eventually marry a woman, and she will spend the rest of her life in the inner house.

The princess of Yanbei understood the truth that if she was close to the red, she knew that Xiao Jinglin could calm down and play the piano. Most of the credit was from Ren Yao period.

After a period of cold watching, the princess felt that although the third young lady of Ren's family was only a born merchant, she might not be as small as an ordinary merchant because of her royal blood. On the contrary, she was very decent, calm and gentle. She was rare and versatile. She could take all kinds of music, chess, calligraphy and painting.

When she was young, Princess Yanbei also regarded herself as a talented woman. She did not agree with the idea that a woman without talent is virtue. Therefore, she has a good opinion of intelligent girls.

Anyone who is a mother will not hate her daughter's contact with children like Ren Yaoqi. So the princess of Yanbei is very kind to Ren Yaoqi these days.

The princess wanted to promote Ren Yaoqi, so she said with a smile: "lin'er has passed the pass of Mr. lin'er, and Yao Qi has come to play a song. As long as you get a compliment from your husband, it's next to you whether you can get a good reputation at the banquet. "

Mrs. Xu smiles and shakes her head and looks at Ren Yaoqi gently and encouragingly.

Ren Yaoqi chuckled, got up and made a salute, then sat down on the piano table.

She did not choose too difficult and obscure music, only played an ordinary "running water". As she sat down on the piano table, her elegant and quiet temperament became more and more obvious. She looked like a beautiful landscape painting.

Ren Yao's fingering was also skilled. The overtones were light and clear, and the scattered sounds were calm and thick. According to the sounds, they were sometimes slow, sometimes exciting, and sometimes dignified.

Ouyang slightly tilted his head, listened carefully, and silently moved his fingers to beat the time.

When Ren Yao finished his first song, Ouyang looked up at her with a smile.

Ren Yaoqi stood up and bowed his head to listen.

"How old are you this year?"

"It's twelve." Ren Yaoqi had just passed her 11th birthday in May. Girls at this age were usually not on their birthdays. They were afraid of getting lucky, so Ren Yaoqi did not make a statement. However, according to Yanbei's rules, the answer to the question of age is "virtual age". That is, if one is born, one year will be added every year.
