Half an hour later, the carriage stopped outside the palace gate. People were already waiting at the door. Ye Qingge took Lan'er and followed Shen Mengrou and others in.

The imperial palace of Yunlan Kingdom was not much different from the imperial palace Ye Qingge knew, and was even slightly inferior.

Gu Wanxi came down at the same time as Ye Qingge and others. Just after getting off the carriage, Liu Er next to Gu Wanxi saw Ye Qingge at a glance, "Miss, look, Ye Qingge is here too. .”

"Liu'er, didn't I teach you to do your own thing well? Didn't you learn enough from what happened last time?" Cai Que stepped forward and said coldly.

"Sister Caique, I understand." Liu'er said and lowered her head in grievance.

"Wanxi has met Mrs. Shen!" Gu Wanxi, who was standing beside her, stepped forward and saluted Shen Mengrou as usual.

"Well, did Miss Wanxi come alone? Mrs. Gu didn't come?" Shen Mengrou asked kindly.

"Mother entered the palace gracefully first." Gu Wanxi smiled.

"Oh, that's right! I haven't seen Mrs. Gu for a long time, and I wanted to chat for a while." Shen Mengrou said with a smile.

"I guess mother also wants to chat with Mrs. Shen for a while." Gu Wanxi responded with a smile.

Seeing Gu Wanxi's down-to-earth look, Ye Qingyao couldn't help but stepped forward and nodded to Gu Wanxi, smiled, then stepped forward to hold Shen Mengrou's hand and said: "Mom, you can meet Mrs. Gu when you go in. Let's go!".

"Okay!" Shen responded and followed Ye Qingyao.

Just when Ye Qingge was about to leave, a voice came from behind.

"Ye Qingge, are you here too?" The speaker was Bai Youyou, the daughter of the owner of the Medicine Valley.

Because of Bai Qingyuan's excellent medical skills, but in recent years due to his wife's illness, he has always closed the door to thank guests and never left the valley. Now it is rare for him to come to the capital. When Queen Chu heard about it, she quickly sent an invitation to Bai Qingyuan's wife Ji Yao and daughter Bai Youyou to attend the banquet.

So today Bai Youyou and her mother are considered the honored guests of Queen Chu.

"Are you Miss Ye? I heard Mo Chi say before that the music score was written by Miss Ye. She is really talented!" Ji Yao walked over with the support of her daughter and said with a smile.

Ji Yao was already extremely beautiful. Although she had lost weight due to illness in the past two years, she was still as beautiful as a distant mountain hibiscus, with skin like ice and snow, and a graceful appearance like a virgin. Compared to this, Shen Mengrou fell several notches. However. Bai Youyou has not inherited Ji Yao's beauty.

"Thank you, Mrs. Bai, for the compliment." Ye Qingge nodded slightly.

"Mom, you always praise outsiders, don't you know how to praise your daughter?" Bai Youyou pouted and acted coquettishly.

"I'm sorry, my daughter's naughtiness made Miss Ye laugh." Looking at Bai Youyou's appearance, Ji Yao said apologetically.

"fine!"

After Ye Qingge said that, he took Lan'er and left. Because Shen Mengrou and Gu Wanxi didn't know Ji Yao, they left one after another without going up to chat.

It took a full stick of incense to get to the place where the queen was entertaining guests. When they arrived, they saw that many people had already arrived. Shen Mengrou met several ladies from aristocratic families, so she took Ye Qingyao there to chat, while Ye Qingge took Lan'er found a place to sit down.

After another half an hour, a eunuch shouted: "Your Majesty, the Queen has arrived!"

As the words fell, everyone turned around and saluted, and Emperor Tianjing and Empress Chu also took their seats.

Because it was Ye Qingge's first meeting with the emperor, he took a look at Emperor Tianjing. His appearance was about 45% similar to that of Nangong Yichen. He was dressed in a dragon robe, which made him look even more majestic. His indifferent eyes showed that The feeling of not letting strangers in is very different from Nangong Yichen's cold and cold feeling.

After everyone saluted and listened to Emperor Tianjing say a few words, they took their seats one after another. But before Ye Qingge sat down on the stool, they heard Queen Chu's voice.

"Your Majesty, that is Prime Minister Ye's eldest daughter Ye Qingge. She was famous for her guzheng music in Ye Mansion some time ago. She is really versatile."

"Oh, really?" the emperor said as he looked in the direction Queen Chu pointed.

Seeing Emperor Tianjing's eyes fall on him, Ye Qingge had no choice but to stand up and salute: "Qingge has met the emperor."

"Well, no courtesy!" Emperor Tianjing said.

"Your Majesty, Miss Qingge plays a good guzheng. I would also like to hear it. If not, let Miss Qingge compose a song to add color to my banquet." Empress Chu looked at Emperor Tianjing with a smile and said

.

"Yes, Your Majesty, you also know that I like to play the guzheng the most. I heard that Miss Ye plays the guzheng so exquisitely that I would like to see it." The speaker was Xie Zhaoyi, the favorite concubine who had just entered the palace. Emperor Tianjing was approaching.

I have been to her palace the most in half a month.

"Well, then I'll listen to you." Emperor Tianjing said.

After hearing Emperor Tianjing's agreement, Empress Chu told her maids with a smile on her face: "Go quickly and bring the guzheng I have collected for Miss Ye to use."

After a while, several maids came up carrying a guzheng.

Just after the guzheng was placed and the cover was taken off, the crowd heard sarcastic voices, "Oh my god, look, isn't that the legendary 'Yijun'?"

"It's really 'Yijun'! I didn't expect this guzheng to be here." Several people in the crowd said in surprise.

It is said that this guzheng was used by the gods. The surface of the guzheng is made of fine rosewood and is inlaid with ox bones. The entire guzheng has complex craftsmanship and exquisite production. The sound of the music played is clear and transparent, and the lingering sound is long and graceful.

But this guzheng cannot be played by anyone, because it has twenty-one strings, and the guzheng commonly used in Yunlan Kingdom has twenty-five strings.

The most important thing is that its strings are not made of animal sinews or silk strings, but are made of an unknown thing, which is extremely difficult to master. Many people have obtained this guzheng, but they cannot master it.

Technique, I have no choice but to give up.

While everyone was talking about it, Queen Chu smiled and said: "I got this 'Yijun' by chance a few years ago. I have been looking for someone to play it with this guzheng in the past few years, but no one can master it."

, I have been able to keep it until today. I happened to meet Miss Ye. If Miss Ye can play it well, it will be in vain for me to keep it for many years."

"Can Ye Qingge play well? I don't believe it." Someone else whispered.

"Well, I don't believe it either!" Several people on the side agreed.

Listening to the whispers of the people below, Queen Chu said in a good mood: "If Miss Ye can play this piano well, then I will reward Miss Ye with this piano."

As soon as Queen Chu said these words, everyone was sighing. Many people thought that Queen Chu looked down on Ye Qingge too much. Bai Youyou on the side was cracking melon seeds and watching the show leisurely, while Ye Qingyao also had a smile on her face.

meaning.

Only Chu Linglong and Gu Wanxi looked nervous, because one of them was worried about Ye Qingge, and the other was attracted to the guzheng.

During the banquet, someone came unknowingly. This person was the woman named "Ninghua".
