He Lian'er took a deep breath and then another, and pressed again and again, and then suppressed her anger. The dignified and decent noble daughter's side returned, with a smile on her face, and she began to play.
But low down, the dispute between Prince Chu and the fifth princess of Southern Xinjiang did not stop because of Ye Qingcheng's words.
The two people spoke louder, which affected the people around them who did not listen to the music properly and turned their heads to watch the two people talking.
In this way, He Lian'er could see Prince Chu's commotion when she was playing on the stage. It made her teeth itch and she even played a wrong note.
"What's going on, big sister? Why are you still playing wrong?" He Min'er almost didn't stand up.
Mrs. Yongchang Hou and Mrs. He both returned to their residence. Only Mrs. He and her three legitimate daughters were present here. He Min'er's shout was quite loud, but Mrs. He smiled and did not stop her.
"Second sister, eldest sister, are you too nervous?" He Qin'er, the legitimate daughter of Mr. He Er who was sitting next to him, also spoke up, her voice a little louder than He Min'er.
You must know that this He Lian'er usually doesn't take the people in the family seriously because of the favor of the Queen Mother. Even her sister He Min'er is treated like a little follower.
"Maybe! Ye Qingcheng's playing was obviously better than He Lian'er's just now! She has the courage to play even if she has the nerve to play. Why do you still expect her to play well?" General Feng's direct descendant was sitting in the front row.
Nv Feng Jinrong didn't even look back.
"Feng Jinrong, what did you say? Say it again!" Although He Min'er had many complaints about her biological sister, she still couldn't bear what outsiders said.
"Say it again, are you wasting my time? Su'er, please tell Miss He Er a few more times!" Feng Jinrong raised her chin slightly, and her posture was as handsome as possible.
"You...Feng Jinrong, don't be too proud!" He Min'er stopped.
She is not as scheming and eloquent as He Lian'er, so she can't do anything like Feng Jinrong, who is careless and daring to speak out.
Feng Jinrong is the legitimate daughter of General Feng, so she usually practices martial arts with her father and brothers. Her personality has become as upright and cheerful as a boy, and she doesn't like to beat around the bush.
"Jinrong, don't mess around!" General Feng's wife, Feng Jinrong's mother, saw that her daughter had made a mistake again, and she choked with the second lady of the Yongchang Marquis Mansion and warned her. The Yongchang Marquis Mansion belongs to the Queen Mother.
They can't afford to offend their natal family.
"Is what my daughter said wrong? Mother, doesn't she think Miss Ye plays and sings well?" Feng Jinrong frowned.
"I asked you to stop talking, but you still said that you would let your father deal with you when you go back home!" Mrs. Feng was extremely angry.
Feng Jinrong stuck out her tongue. Her father only used a few tricks to deal with her. She was used to it and wasn't afraid.
Soon, He Lian'er's music was finished, and everyone clapped their hands, with smiles on their faces, nodding their heads and talking about the beautiful sounds.
"Miss Ye, please come on stage too!" the Queen Mother waved.
Ye Qingcheng did not go back to the female family members of the Prime Minister's Mansion, but stayed with Princess Xiyue. When she heard the voice and was pushed by Princess Xiyue, she staggered a step, steadied her steps and walked onto the stage.
"Everyone, tell me, who plays the best, Miss Ye or Miss He?" It was the Queen Mother's birthday, so the emperor just smiled and looked at it, letting the Queen Mother be happy, and he only offered rewards.
The crowd immediately became excited. There were many people who said that Ye Qingcheng played well, and even more people shouted that He Lianer played well.
"You said He Lian'er plays well, are you not wearing your ears when you go out? Ye Qingcheng's playing sounds are only heard in the sky, and how can you hear them in the world! He Lian'er played the wrong notes and you didn't hear it?" Chu
The prince shouted loudly.
At this moment, the whole place was silent. Those who said that He Lian'er played well did not dare to speak loudly, except for Princess Chenyang.
"What Prince Chu said is different. She, Ye Qingcheng, plays and sings. She is waiting for you and she is beautiful. This caught your heart, right? It is obvious that her playing is not as good as Lian'er!" She forgot to congratulate her in her hurry.
Lian'er must be her cousin, so she called her Lian'er.
"Is this what Her Royal Highness Princess Tiansheng looks like?" Princess Nanjiang asked.
"Okay! That's enough!" Seeing that Princess Chenyang didn't understand any etiquette, the Queen Mother got into a fight with the Prince of Chu on such an occasion and interrupted.
"The Ai family thinks that both girls play well, but Miss Ye's music is more popular with the Ai family. Miss Ye will win this round! You can move on to the next round!"
The Empress Dowager's words caused different expressions among the people on the scene. Ye Qingcheng was the woman His Highness the King of War did not want. And He Lian'er was so proud in front of the Empress Dowager, why did she lose to Ye Qingcheng today?
The prince of Chu and the princess of Nanjiang both clapped, and the fourth prince would have run over long ago if it weren't for the checks and balances of etiquette and rules.
Only Jun Mochen had a gloomy face and looked unhappy with everyone, which made the emperor confused.
Could it be that the emperor's brother liked his cousin Lian'er? So he was unhappy when his mother let Miss Ye win?
"Thank you, Queen Mother!" Ye Qingcheng saluted and expressed his thanks.
She knew that when this song came out, no matter how good her piano skills were, it would definitely win the love of everyone, so it was expected that she would win.
"Okay! Go down and prepare for the next round!" The Queen Mother waved.
"How about we compete on food first! It just so happens that while you are competing on painting, Grandma Huang can eat and watch at the same time. Otherwise, how boring would it be?" Princess Xiyue suggested.
This proposal was immediately recognized by everyone. Painting is indeed a boring thing. Having delicious food made by beautiful women can offset this boredom.
"Okay, let's compare the food first! The Ai family should also try Miss Ye's cooking!"
The expression on He Lian'er's face now was really funny. She felt that the Queen Mother was going to go crazy because she was refuting her face everywhere today.
She is obviously not bad at playing, but as her own aunt, she actually wants to go to that bitch.
She had forgotten that she played the wrong note.
"Okay! I will grant a marriage to whoever wins!" The emperor suddenly said this, and after speaking, he looked at Jun Mochen to see his reaction.
At this moment, the whole place was excited. The girls who had a crush on Jun Mochen all wanted to say that they also wanted to compete.
He Lian'er suddenly raised her head and looked over. When she saw the emperor looking at Jun Mochen, her pupils shrank. The emperor's intention was obvious. He was going to grant a marriage to his cousin, but why was he doing this? Ye Qingcheng was obviously his cousin.
I don’t want the woman who broke off the engagement, no, wait a minute...
The emperor's cousin thought that she would win the next two games, so...did he say this just to grant her a marriage with his cousin?
She turned to look at Jun Mochen again, and saw that the latter had a gloomy face, and seemed to still be unhappy. She automatically interpreted it as her cousin was afraid that she would lose, and then he would be engaged to Ye Qingcheng again.
angry.
She suddenly felt very motivated. As long as she won the last two games, she would be able to fulfill her cousin's wish.
"Lian'er, why are you so dazed? Hurry up and get ready! Ye Qingcheng has already gone down!" Princess Chenyang couldn't stand it, so she reminded her aloud.
He Lian'er finally took a breath and walked off the stage to prepare.
"I'm going to help you, princess!" Chen Yang also followed.
When Princess Xiyue saw this, she also stood up and said, "Grandma Huang, can Xiyue also go over and help Miss Ye?"
The Queen Mother waved her hand, "Go ahead! You two girls, for those who don't know, thought you were just good at cooking, and you even boasted that you were going to help."
