Chapter 154 Gathering for Fun

"Shall we go out and play?"

The topic changed so suddenly that Concubine Zhao asked in a daze, "Where are we going?"

Ji Yunqing said excitedly: "Come on, let's go play the piano. We haven't played for a long time. Let's have a competition today."

When the topic of the piano competition came up, Concubine Zhao nodded quickly.

She used to play the piano, paint, recite poems and have fun with her sisters and friends in the boudoir, so she was not unfamiliar with it.

"There is nothing else to do today, so I'll do as you say."

The maid following Concubine Zhao couldn't believe her ears.

nothing?

You are dressed so beautifully, isn't it just to meet the prince by chance?

Look at now.

Not only did the prince not meet him by chance, but the gorgeous clothes that the master had carefully selected before going out were now covered in mud at the hem and had many wrinkles at the cuffs.

Wasted!

This set of clothes I just put on is completely ruined!

But she was just a maid and could only watch Concubine Ji drag Master Zhao away.

The two soon arrived at Sengoku Garden.

Ever since Ji Yunqing moved to Osmanthus Courtyard, he has been much closer to Qianshi Garden.

This was originally a place for wives and concubines in the mansion to play, and all kinds of musical instruments were available.

Ji Yunqing took the lead in selecting a guqin that he felt comfortable with, and said confidently, "I'll go first!"

After saying that, she sat down directly in front of the piano table, and her expression became serious.

Seeing how confident she was, Concubine Zhao felt the pressure doubled.

Could it be that she has really become an expert in playing the piano now?

The next moment, Concubine Zhao's expression froze and became dazed!

What the hell is this playing?

But seeing that Ji Yunqing's brows were still full of confidence, she even closed her eyes and looked very enjoying when she played to the exquisite parts.

enjoy?

Concubine Zhao couldn't help but scratch her ears in suspicion. Could it be that she heard it wrong?

Soon, the birds passing by Qianshi Garden were frightened and flew away in all directions.

Seeing the birds flying in panic from the window, Concubine Zhao was sure that she had heard it correctly.

——That piano sound is just very unpleasant!

After the song was over, Ji Yunqing was in a good mood and looked at Concubine Zhao.

"How about it?"

"Did you hear what I played?"

After that, Ji Yunqing recited a line from "High Mountains and Flowing Water": "It is as majestic as Mount Tai, and as vast as the rivers."

Concubine Zhao: “…”

Listen to yourself, is this the music you are playing - High Mountains and Flowing Water?

Next, concubine Zhao also played a song.

Although the other person played the piano well, Ji Yunqing didn't care because she had not been practicing since she was a child.

Since she enjoyed a happy and playful childhood, it is normal that she cannot play the piano as well as others now. She can't have all the good things, right?

The two then changed to playing other instruments such as the guzheng and pipa.

Ji Yunqing also improvised, playing and singing with all his heart.

Concubine Zhao was a little hesitant at first, but led by Ji Yunqing, she gradually started to sing along, and the two of them even danced wildly to the singing.

The space in the room was too small, which really affected the two of them's performance, so they simply went out and ran to an open space in Qianshi Garden to sing and dance.

Now the few little maids who followed along could join in. It was a rare chance to relax and everyone was very happy.

Concubine Xu Shu returned to the courtyard with her maid and vaguely heard singing. She was surprised and asked, "What's that sound? Is there someone singing in the mansion?"

This is the royal palace. How could someone be so bold?

Following the sound, Concubine Xu Shu saw two people in the crowd at a glance, one was wearing a bright pink dress, and the other was... wearing tattered clothes.

Is this some new type of dance costume?

Concubine Xu Shu became curious.

Although Concubine Zhao was dancing, she was not as relaxed as Ji Yunqing. She was almost always keeping her eyes and ears open, and she immediately noticed someone coming.

She whispered to Ji Yunqing.

Ji Yunqing looked around and soon saw the bright and charming Concubine Xu Shu standing under a big rock.

Concubine Zhao thought she would stop, but Ji Yunqing waved her arms excitedly: "Concubine Xu, come quickly, can you play the piano? We are in need of a pianist."

Concubine Zhao wanted to cover her face, because Concubine Xu was not as good-tempered as her.

Who knew that Concubine Xu Shu would actually come.

"Can you play the flute? I want to play the flute."

"Of course, whatever you like," Ji Yunqing said happily, "I'll sing, and you play."

After a while, Concubine Gao and Concubine Qian also came. They originally just came out of curiosity to see what was going on, but once they showed up, they couldn't leave.

Concubine Wang came over on her own initiative and asked to join. She had beautiful eyes and eyebrows and could sing beautiful and melodious little songs.

Ji Yunqing hadn't danced with anyone for a long time. In this situation, she remembered the bonfire party she had seen on short videos.

She had only seen it through the camera, but never experienced it in person.

Seeing more and more people coming, Ji Yunqing felt itchy and asked, "How about we hold a bonfire party today?"

“What is Bonfire Night?”

Concubine Xu Shu asked curiously.

At this moment, Concubine Gao was playing the pipa, so she decided to take a break. As a result, she was seen by Ji Yunqing, who pulled her to an open space to dance with her.

"At night, we will light a fire, sing and dance around it, and then enjoy delicious food together when we are hungry. I want to eat roasted whole lamb. Does the chef in our house know how to make it?"

She wasn't quite sure about the specifics. As mentioned before, she had only seen it on a short video but didn't participate.

But what do Chinese people do without food? Anyway, it is a good idea to have food, drinks and fun.

Ji Yunqing smacked her lips. She had only one life left, so she should enjoy it.

Wang Shiqi actively joined the discussion: "I heard that there is a restaurant in the capital that roasts whole lamb very deliciously. It smells very good. Why don't we eat that?"

"Is this okay?"

When she heard that it was outside the mansion, Ji Yunqing hesitated. She didn't know if this was appropriate. What if she spent money but was not allowed in? That would be a shame.

Concubine Xu Shu said without hesitation: "Sure, let the cook come in and cook."

She looked at Ji Yunqing with disdain: "You are a concubine after all, why are you so shy even when ordering food? Be tougher."

After hearing this, Ji Yunqing secretly straightened his back.

The concubine Wang said quickly: "Then I will send someone to order the dishes and ask them to pack up and bring them in. I have only heard that the roasted whole lamb is very famous, but I have never eaten it. This time, it is thanks to the two concubines."

They also ordered a lot of other things from the big kitchen. After the exercise, everyone was obviously hungry, and they ordered dishes with great enthusiasm, fearing that there would not be enough food.

By the time the chef had finished roasting the whole lamb, Concubine Wen couldn't help but come over.

“Why does it smell so good here?”

Originally, after listening to the servants' description, she thought it was boring and didn't want to come, but as everyone knows, roasted food does smell delicious.

After a while, Concubine Lou also came over.

Ji Yunqing looked at the people present. Concubine Jian had stood aside at some point, but due to her personality, she only dared to watch from the side and did not dare to step forward.

Now, except for the princess and Concubine Cen, everyone in the mansion was gathered together.

Is she so awesome that she got so many people here?

Ji Yunqing was so excited that he swelled up for a moment.

Although the princess did not come, she specifically asked the kitchen to add more food for them.

Never mind, Ji Yunqing shook his head. Anyway, we can just have fun together, the princess has no objection.

After a day's work, King Zhao entered the palace under the stars. He looked up at the starry sky, rubbed his sore temples, and wanted to take a rest in the front yard.

But then he thought about the newcomer from the backyard who was about to enter the house, and he had to appease the others, so he changed direction and walked towards the backyard.

I just don't know which yard will be waiting for him so late at this time.
