In the evening, Qin Mubai came to the Royal Bridge as promised.
As expected, Princess Gaoyang was waiting here. When she saw Qin Mubai, a smile appeared on her still childish face.
In the past, Qin Mubai had only seen Princess Gaoyang's weird smiles, tricky smiles, malicious smiles, and weird smiles, but he had never seen her smile so innocently and with a hint of shyness like today.
For a while, Qin Mubai was really not used to it.
"Ahem... Your Highness, the humble duty has come."
"Please take a seat!" Princess Gaoyang pointed to a stone table and chairs near the river in the willow forest with a smile, and said, "I have already prepared it!"
"That's fine." Qin Mubai walked over and found that the stone table had just been moved over and there were only two seats. The table had already been placed with exquisite imperial snacks and mellow palace wine. Two people
The attendants each held an antique pipa and stood beside him. The other palaces and eunuchs were actually waiting at a distance.
Qin Mubai smiled, took the pipa from a waiter and sat down calmly: "Let's begin!"
"Why are you in a hurry? You must not have had dinner at this time, right? Eat something first. I don't want others to say that I abused the teacher." Princess Gao Yang sat down opposite Qin Mubai, holding her chin in her hands and looking straight at her.
Looking at Qin Mubai, he said with a wide smile.
"Okay." Qin Mubai casually ate two snacks and said, "Can we start now?"
"That's not good!" Princess Gao Yang held her chin in one hand and frowned with displeasure. She stretched out a small hand as smooth as white jade and picked up a piece of deer breast and handed it to Qin Mubai, "You are so big
How can a man, such a majestic general, only eat so little? Come and eat a piece of deer breast to replenish your health."
Qin Mubai frowned: "Princess, you'd better put it down, I'll do it myself."
"No, I insist on you eating it!" Princess Gaoyang stubbornly raised her chopsticks and faced Qin Mubai with an expression that she would not give up until she achieved her goal.
"Okay, okay, I'll eat." Qin Mubai gave a helpless smile, stretched out his mouth, bit the piece of deer breast into his mouth, and swallowed it wholeheartedly.
"I'm full, so full - let's start playing the pipa!"
"Hehe!" The two waiters next to him covered their mouths and laughed out loud.
"Why are you laughing? Don't laugh. You really deserve a beating!" Princess Gao Yang's face instantly turned red and she glared anxiously, "Turn around and don't stare at us!"
"Yes, Your Highness." The two attendants turned around obediently.
Qin Mubai ignored these things and held the pipa in his arms and began to teach the skills. He said: "Your Highness, please watch carefully. In fact, there is nothing special about playing the pipa in a humble position. It's just that the way of playing is different from ordinary ones. It's using
You play it directly with your hands--so, I only need to teach you the fingering techniques."
"Hehe, I didn't expect that you, a general, are different from those in the military academy. Your fingers are so delicate and dexterous. In addition to being able to use knives and swords, you can also play the pipa wonderfully. If you hadn't heard it with your own ears,
"But, I really don't believe those rumors!" Princess Gao Yang didn't even look at Qin Mubai's fingers on the pipa strings, but stared straight at Qin Mubai's face.
Qin Mubai grinned awkwardly: "Your Highness, do you want me to teach you how to finger the pipa?"
"Yes, of course I want it!" Princess Gaoyang smiled and picked up the pipa herself. She held it awkwardly in her arms and then pressed her fingers on the strings randomly, playing a few weird notes and asked
He said, "Is that so?"
"Huh..." Qin Mubai let out a long sigh and said patiently, "The fingering is all wrong - are you playing the pipa or practicing the Nine Yin White Bone Claw?"
"What are the Nine Yin White Bone Claws?" Princess Gao Yang asked curiously, blinking her smart eyes.
"... Pretend I didn't say it." Qin Mubai corrected his expression, "The correct fingering method should be like this..."
So the demonstration started over and over again.
"What, why is it so difficult!" Princess Gaoyang followed the example several times, but still
