The man's eyes wandered around the hall, even Emperor Danxu, who was sitting there, did not avoid it. It wasn't until his eyes collided with Si Haochen's that he felt the strong pressure and had to restrain himself.
Emperor Danxu began to read the "Birth Anniversary" for Empress Dowager Qian, and he could not move around at will.
Princess Ningping couldn't go back to her original seat, so she made a face at Mingruo: "I'll bother Brother Nine Emperors and Sister-in-law Nine Emperors for a while."
Mingruo gave Princess Ningping a comforting look: "It doesn't matter, you can do whatever you want."
"Sister-in-law of the Nine Emperors is the best." Princess Ningping looked at Si Haochen with a very doggy look. She was still very afraid of Brother Nine Emperors.
Emperor Danxu announced the start of the birthday banquet, and the palace maids shuttled between the banquets carrying various dishes. The melodious sound of silk and bamboo was played, and the dancing girl began to perform "Magu's Birthday".
"It's these songs and dances every year, so boring." Princess Ning Binh complained softly.
Mingruo didn't like to watch singing and dancing, especially those in ancient times who were slow and always fluttering their long sleeves, which was even more lacking in interest. Therefore, she immersed herself in her work very seriously.
"This crispy gourd chicken is good, you guys try it." Mingruo picked up a chicken leg and put it in Si Haochen's bowl.
Si Haochen took a look at all the noble ladies in the palace who had to open their mouths to eat, and felt that his wife was particularly cute.
She put two hibiscus shrimp balls into the princess's bowl and said, "You should like these shrimp balls."
"Okay." Mingruo didn't care what others thought of her. She took half a shrimp ball in one mouthful and it was delicious.
In order to maintain her image, Princess Ninh Binh usually eats very restrainedly at palace banquets, only eating a few shredded pork and vegetables.
Now, following the footsteps of Jiuhuang's wife, she also started to feast: "This chicken is really delicious. It's crispy on the outside and tender and juicy on the inside."
Mingruo was eating chicken wings with relish when he was suddenly called upon.
I heard a slightly coquettish female voice saying: "Princess Yunqin, I want to challenge you."
"Huh?" Mingruo slowly spit out a chicken bone, "Why?"
I was busy cooking and didn't provoke Ayina. Could it be that she and Gourd Chicken are good friends and came to me to avenge their gay friends?
"Ayina heard that women from the Central Plains are proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and wanted to learn from her." Princess Ayina raised her chin slightly, "How about we play the piano?"
"Okay." Mingruo nodded slightly.
Ayina was overjoyed when she saw Princess Yunqin accepted the competition: "Since it is a competition, there must be a winner."
Princess Ningping held Mingruo's hand under the table, and she felt that Ayina was holding something bad in her stomach.
Mingruo gave Princess Ningping a reassuring look and said calmly: "What does Princess Ayina want to bet on?"
Ayina had a bewildered smile on her face: "If you lose, give me the position of Princess Yun."
"Ah..." Everyone in the palace exclaimed.
Some lamented that the women of Xiliang were really bold and bold. Some despised the barbaric land for not knowing etiquette and finding themselves a husband in front of so many people.
"You want my position as Princess Yun, but I'm not interested in your position as 'Princess of Xiliang'..." Mingruo looked troubled, "I don't value anything you have; I don't have anything."
You don’t have anything like that..."
Everyone covered their mouths and snickered. If others said this, people would just think they were bragging. When Princess Ke Yun said this, she was stating the facts - after all, Nanrong is the richest country among the four countries. Moreover,
Prince Yun has fought in the north and south over the years, and has captured countless trophies.
"You..." Ayina pointed at Mingruo and was so angry that she couldn't speak.
Si Haochen's sharp eyes fell on Ayina's hand: "Since you have nothing to offer, just bet on this hand."
"Hiss..." Everyone took a breath of air. His Royal Highness, Prince Yun, became much gentler after getting married. Everyone had forgotten for a moment that this prince had a reputation for being unpredictable and violent.
The brother who came with Ayina was afraid that she would suffer a loss and wanted to step in to save her. But Ayina did not think that she would lose - her piano master was Mr. Dugu, who was famous in the four countries.
Moreover, according to the previous information, this Qinghuang Princess had no talent when she was in Nanrong. After marrying to Donghuan, she was good at poetry. As long as I don't compare poetry with her, there will be no problem.
"Okay." Ayina looked at her slender and white hand calmly, "If I lose, I will give you this hand."
Mingruo's expression of disgust should not be too obvious. He was obviously not satisfied with the bet that Prince Yun had made, but because he had no better choice, he had no choice but to say aggrievedly: "Okay."
Ayina walked out of her seat holding her guqin in her arms. She deliberately and slowly opened the case and placed a guqin on the piano table.
"Yeah, this seems to be the 'Spring Thunder' of the previous dynasty." There are many people here who know how to play the piano.
"It's the 'Chun Lei'. I've seen this piano at an auction, and it sold for a sky-high price of 1.5 million taels of gold..."
"Tsk..." Mingruo, who has a sharp ear and eyesight, didn't expect Ayina's piano to be so expensive. If she had known better, she would have bet on this piano. She didn't want Ayina's hand...
Si Haochen glanced at Qin Mo, who was accompanying him: "Go and get the Emperor's 'bell' for use."
"Yes." Qin Mo went to Kuntai Hall to 'get the piano'.
As soon as I left the Qianqiu Palace, I saw Eunuch Hai with the wind blowing at his feet, and carrying the piano case behind him: "Master Qin, is it the prince who asked you to borrow the piano from the Kuntai Palace?"
"Yeah." Qin Mo nodded, "Eunuch Hai is really fast."
"What... the elixir given by the princess is very effective. We think we can run another two miles." Eunuch Hai pulled Qin Mo towards Qianqiu Palace, "Let's go in quickly, don't let the prince and princess wait.
Urgent."
Everyone was shocked when they saw Eunuch Hai coming with his qin on his back. Could it be that he had invited out the "bell" treasured by the Supreme Emperor? It was said that this was the qin that the luthier Boya had touched.
Woolen cloth.
Eunuch Hai carefully took out the guqin from its case. The simple body of the qin was shimmering with a gentle light like jade.
Mingruo washed her hands, walked to the piano table, sat down, and smiled at Ayina across from her: "How do we want to compare?"
"We will play a song together, and the one with the most skillful technique will win!" Ayina looked at the 'bell' in front of Mingruo, her eyes filled with greed and envy.
"Okay." Mingruo brushed the strings with her fingertips and tried the sound.
Ayina's lips curved into a strange smile, and the piano sounded. Everyone was amazed again, and what Ayina was stroking was "Guangling San".
The piano score of "Guangling San" was destroyed during the war in the previous dynasty. Now there are no more than three people who can play the complete music.
Princess Ningping also studied the piano skill assiduously. As soon as Ayina took action, she could tell that this person had superb piano skills. She couldn't help but sweat for the Nine Emperors Wife: "Brother Nine Emperors, what should I do if the Nine Emperors Wife loses?"
?”
His Royal Highness Prince Yun had a calm face and had the aura to control the situation: "Then I will kill the person who made her lose with one sword..."
"..." Princess Ningping silently lit three sticks of incense for Ayina in her heart.
