Li Xiangru's fair and pretty face was stained with a slight blush, and her eyes were filled with brilliance.
Sheng Jinyue gritted her teeth and secretly resented it.
Li Xiangru is destined to be in the limelight today!
However, the fourth prince has already opened his mouth, and it is inconvenient for anyone to talk more.
Li Xiangru bowed gracefully and turned to the guqin. He plucked the strings with his bare hands, and the gurgling sound of the piano flowed out from his fingertips like a stream. The sweet and moving sound of the piano made people intoxicated.
This was not the first time for Sheng Jinyue and others to hear Li Xiangru playing the piano, but they couldn't help but be amazed!
Although Li Xiangru is young, his piano skills are superb and far surpass those of many piano masters.
Li Xiangru, who was immersed in the music of the piano, shone brightly like a pearl. His original eight-point appearance also became ten-point. As the young people listened attentively, they couldn't help but pay attention.
The fourth prince, who looked cold, rarely showed a hint of appreciation in his eyes.
Lu Chi had a look of admiration on his face.
Li Mo looked pleased with himself, and as soon as the sound of the piano fell, he clapped his hands and said, "What a song, "Spring Snow"! My sister's piano skills are really getting better and better!"
Li Xiangru stood up with a smile and responded gracefully: "In the eyes of eldest brother, my younger sister is good at anything. He praises me like this, and he is not afraid that His Highness will laugh at it."
Li Mo loved and protected his sister Li Xiangru, who was from the same mother. When he heard this, he raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "If it's good, it's good! I'm just telling the truth! If I say something bad, it's against my heart."
Then he looked at the fourth prince with a smile: "What do you think, Your Highness?"
The fourth prince smiled lightly: "Not bad!"
The fourth prince was born in a heavenly family, and everything he heard, saw, and heard was top-notch. When the word "good" came out of his mouth, it was a rare compliment!
Li Xiangru's pretty face was slightly red, her heart was swaying, and she was slightly blessed: "Thank you for the compliment, Your Highness."
The fourth prince nodded slightly and did not open his mouth again.
Lu Chi said with a smile: "Your Highness cherishes words like gold, Miss Li must not be offended."
Li Xiangru pursed her lips and smiled, then lowered her head slightly.
…
Sheng Jinyue broke the silence with a smile: "Sister Li has drawn the first lottery and has already played a piano tune. Then it is Sister Yan's turn. Since Brother Four Emperors has some free time, why not sit in the pavilion and give us a judgement?
how?"
The fourth prince was not very interested in the girls playing the piano. He frowned slightly and was about to refuse. From the corner of his eye, he caught sight of Lu Chi's handsome and interested face and quickly changed his mind: "That's fine."
Naturally, Sheng Xuan and Li Mo had no objections.
All the girls were secretly happy, their cheeks slightly red.
Xie Mingxi frowned slightly and quickly returned to normal.
Today, she has "no strength in her wrists" and does not need to "display her embarrassment". She probably won't attract the attention of the fourth prince... With Lu Chi here, the fourth prince will not care about any girl.
Li Xiangru's love for the girl is destined to fail!
It's a pity that Li Mo has such a heart to protect his sister.
The fourth prince had a distinguished status and naturally sat at the top. Lu Chi and Shengxuan sat on the left and right, while Li Mo sat beside Sheng Xuan. Sheng Jinyue sat on the other side of Sheng Xuan, turning her head and whispering in a low voice.
Yan Zhenzhen is good at playing the flute, and the sound of the flute is light, melodious and melodious.
Everyone was listening to the sound of the flute, but had no time to listen to the words of the brother and sister. Their voices were very low, and they were separated by a distance. Even if they deliberately stretched their ears, they could not hear a single word.
Xie Mingxi looked over calmly.
Sheng Jinyue's lips moved slightly, clearly asking for credit: "Brother, I listened to you this time and specially invited Xie Mingxi to come. You promised to give me a fine Guqin, so don't forget it."
Sheng Xuan moved her lips and her eyes were full of smiles: "Of course."
Sheng Jinyue frowned and asked again: "Why did the eldest brother have to let her come? She is sharp-tongued and does not abide by the duties of a concubine. She suppresses cousin Yunxi everywhere. It is really annoying."
Sheng Xuan responded gently: "You can't act based on your own happiness and anger. Since we are relatives, we should keep in touch with each other."
Sheng Jinyue curled her lips and complained in a low voice: "If it weren't for eldest brother interceding for her, I wouldn't bother to care about her."
Sheng Xuan smiled and coaxed her: "In the future, you can invite cousin Mingxi to your home more often. If you want anything, just ask."
Sheng Jinyue turned her anger into joy: "You agreed to this yourself."
The brother and sister thought that no one heard their whispers.
Little did they know that Xie Mingxi had worked hard in her previous life to read lips. No matter how far away she was or how low her voice was, she could not hide from her eyes.
Xie Mingxi's expression remained unchanged, her eyes slightly cold.
…
Yan Zhenzhen played a flute, and then Qin Sihun played a Xiao. Xiao Yuhan was good at playing the sheng.
When it was Yin Xiaoxiao's turn, she stood up with a smile and said, "I have also learned piano music for a few days, but with Sister Li Zhuyu in front of me, I won't show my shame."
Yin Xiaoxiao was favored at home, but General Yin was reluctant to let her work hard to learn the piano and let her fish for three days and dry the nets for two days. What she said about showing off her ugliness was not self-effacing at all.
All the girls who came and went frequently knew this, so they each pursed their lips and laughed.
Li Xiangru smiled and said: "Sister Yin is not good at playing the piano, but she is far better than us in horseback riding and archery. If we had changed the training ground, today we would have seen Sister Yin show off her skills and take the top spot!"
If you savor this kind of praise carefully, it won't taste very good.
Ritual, music, archery, and archery are among the six arts of a gentleman. Lotus Pond Academy also provides courses for them all. However, when women dance with swords, guns, horses, horses, and archery, they lose a bit of their grace and dignity. Therefore, these two courses, archery and imperialism, are not taught in Lianchi Academy.
Chi Academy is quite weak.
Praising a young girl for her outstanding riding and shooting skills is clearly a compliment but actually a criticism.
Yin Xiaoxiao's eyes flashed and her smile faded: "I come from a general family and learned some riding and shooting skills from my father. I can't compare to Sister Li who came from a famous family and has an outstanding education."
The last four words, soft yet hard, made Li Xiangru choke, and his smile became slightly stiff.
Sheng Jinyue was quite relieved after hearing this, and smiled and said, "Why do you think Sister Yin is so self-effacing? General Yin is so brave and brave that no one can match him among the military generals. Sister Yin comes from a well-educated family, and she is outstanding in riding and shooting. We and the rest of us can't even envy you."
"
Xiao Yuhan and Yin Xiaoxiao were the best friends, and they immediately agreed with a smile: "What Sister Sheng said is that we have learned piano, chess, calligraphy and painting since childhood, but not everyone can ride and shoot. In the future, when you enter Lianchi Academy, you will only
With these two disciplines, we can take the lead.”
Yin Xiaoxiao's face brightened slightly and she responded with a smile: "Don't praise me so much. I don't know if I can pass the exam yet. It's too early to tell."
Qin Sihun smiled gently: "If you fail the exam, we will be even less sure."
Xie Yunxi finally had a chance to interrupt: "Yes! It's a pity that time is short, otherwise, I would also like to practice riding and shooting!"
Li Xiangru, who is proud and arrogant, is obviously not as popular as Yin Xiaoxiao.
Everyone helped Yin Xiaoxiao speak one by one. Li Xiangru's face was dull and his heart was filled with resentment.
Xie Mingxi didn't want to be in the limelight and didn't open her mouth.
Sheng Xuan glanced over and looked over with a smile: "Why hasn't Cousin Mingxi said anything? Is it because she is nervous and embarrassed about performing in front of everyone?"
