Luo Jia got up and walked to Yang Shuqing to pick up the painting, and then tore it, and the painting that Yang Shuqing had worked so hard to paint for more than half an hour became two halves.

"Let's go down"

Luo Jia commanded with his back to her.

"Xie, Emperor Xie"

Yang Shuqing kowtowed heavily and got up to walk to the seat.

Luo Jia walked back to her seat, and she could feel that everyone else had lowered their heads, and no one had just boldly looked up at her.

Xia Yuning, who lowered her head, stopped when she saw the emperor walking to her table, and her heartbeat couldn't help but accelerate, could it be that the emperor wanted to directly name people to perform, and not draw numbers?

"Lord of the Rain Counties"

"The courtiers are there"

Xia Yuning's tone was very calm, without any other panic, nervousness, or fear.

is worthy of being the niece of the Queen Mother, who grew up next to the Queen Mother, but she is different from others.

In such a short period of time, I adjusted my mentality.

Luo Jia bent down and picked up a piece of pastry between his index finger and middle finger, and the middle finger of his index finger was changed to an index finger and thumb pinching the pastry, "Isn't the pastry to the taste of Lord Yu?"

"After returning to the emperor, it's not that it's unpalatable, it's that the courtiers can't eat desserts"

"I see, I thought they didn't make it delicious."

"How so?"

The pastries made in the palace couldn't be more delicious, and her favorite is the pastries in this palace.

It's just that the current situation is not what it used to be, now there is an emperor and queen, and this pastry is made by people in the emperor's palace, and it is inevitable that it will be made according to the emperor's taste.

"It just so happens that I don't like desserts either, and there are two salty pastries here."

As soon as Luo Jia beckoned, Mengfan brought two plates of pastries.

Meng Fan put the pastry on Xia Yuning's table, and then took the sweet pastry away.

Luo Jia pushed the salty pastry a little, "Cousin Rain, this is not sweet"

Then he walked up the steps and sat back beside Beicheng Aotian.

picked up a piece of pastry and smiled at Xia Yuning, Xia Yuning had no choice but to reach out and pick up a piece of salty pastry and put it in her mouth.

Salty, really salty.

"No. 18 Miss Liu"

The eighteenth is Miss Liu, who Luo Jia said a few days ago that her eyes are big and smart, but today Beicheng Aotian heard from Luo Jia's mouth that 'her eyes are too big, watery and often bullied, and her nose is too small to match her eyes'.

Then Luo Jia shook her head, picked up the pen and scratched the name, which was submerged under the ink.

"Miss No. 5 Lee"

, Luo Jia stared at her chin and touched her chin, and then looked at Beicheng Aotian, "The chin is too sharp, and you don't match the emperor"

Then another stroke, another name went under the ink.

"Miss No. 7 Chen"

Luo Jia looked at a fat and fat woman in front of her, and then she wore a tight pink dress, Luo Jia almost squirted out the wine in her mouth, Luo Jia waved her hand without even commenting to let her step back, and crossed out another one.

"Miss No. 20"

Luo Jia almost didn't have the patience to choose any more, and every time she went up, her face was a little colder and a little blacker.

One by one, the numbers were drawn out and one by one went up to perform.

One by one, they bowed their heads and returned to their seats, and a few timid ones were already red-eyed.

"Number Two"

Luo Jia looked up at Xia Yuning, "Cousin Yu, it's your turn"

"Yes"

Xia Yuning stood up and walked to the center to stand up.

"Cousin Yu, I heard the emperor say that you have a good singing voice, do you want to sing this time?"

Luo Jia said and glanced at Beicheng Aotian, Beicheng Aotian was stunned when he didn't care about himself, when did he say it?

How did he not know himself.

"Yes"

Xia Yuning couldn't help but look up at him when she heard Beicheng Aotian mention her in front of Luo Jia, so she didn't know what she had answered until she came back to her senses.

"Then, do you want to play the piano yourself or let the musician come?"

"The Courtier's Own Song"

Luo Jia nodded, and the palace maid had already brought a piano over and handed it to Xia Yuning.

Xia Yuning was a little hesitant, she originally wanted to perform Fuqin, but now she still has to sing, her throat has just eaten a pastry that is too salty, so her throat is a little dry now, and she can't hear a few words occasionally, but if she wants to sing, her throat will definitely become hoarse because she has been singing for too long and lacks water.

But she had already said that she was going to sing, and the piano was also fetched, and no matter how bad her throat was, she could only sing.

Her dexterous fingers played on the strings, and the sound of the piano was leisurely, and the song accompanied by the sound of the piano sounded.

Xia Yuning is not only the first talented woman in the imperial capital, but also the first beauty, I'm afraid she is the only one who can be selected today!

Watching her play a beautiful piece of music, envious and jealous eyes also arise from this.

Xia Yuning has a good family background, her father is a general, her mother is the sister of the Queen Mother, and she herself is the county lord who was sealed, and she is the first talented woman and the first beauty in the imperial capital.

Why is it her who does all good things, why can't any of them compare to her.

The sound of the piano is leisurely and graceful, endless, and it seems to go back to the valley, and everyone listens as if they have entered the valley and are enjoying the fairyland-like mountain stream.

When the song ended, there was silence in the pavilion, and no one opened their mouths to break the silence.

Xia Yuning looked up to see how the emperor and queen would react to her graceful singing voice and the sound of the piano.

She thought so and did so, looking up.

What she saw was not admiration or appreciation for her emperor and queen.

She saw the emperor sipping the wine in his glass, not noticing that she had finished playing.

Didn't the emperor praise her for singing well?

And the emperor didn't look at her either, just supported her cheek with one hand, closed her eyes, and fell asleep like this!

！

Fell asleep while she was playing a song.

Beicheng Aotian seemed to have just discovered the silence in the pavilion, so he put down his wine glass and coughed lightly, "Jiajia"

Luo Jia was woken up, opened her eyes, and asked aloud, "Are you done singing?"

"After returning to the emperor, the courtiers have finished singing"

"Come up"

Xia Yuning stepped forward uneasily, what would the emperor and queen say about her?

With the fate of the previous ladies, she knew that it would not be a good evaluation!

"She plays the piano well, her singing voice is as the emperor said, and her facial features are also very good, she is worthy of being the first beautiful woman in the imperial capital."

Luo Jia's praise made her reflect for a while.

Is the emperor praising her, is it her recognition!

"No matter how good the courtier's piano is, it is not as good as the song you played that day, the emperor and queen."

Xia Yuning said modestly, she is the only one among these people who has been praised by the emperor, does it mean that her results will be different from them.

"You're perfect"

Luo Jia paused slightly, and then said softly, "It's a pity that the queen doesn't like it, and the emperor won't like the people and things that the queen doesn't like."

Hearing Luo Jia's words, Xia Yuning's smiling face had already hardened before she could get up.

Whether the emperor's will will be chosen or not is up to her.

"Also, do you think that Benhou will put someone more beautiful than yourself in the future"

Luo Jia glanced at Beicheng Aotian, "Is the emperor around?"

It turns out that beauty is also a kind of mistake, and it is also a disadvantage of the advantages that will be eliminated.

"Cousin Yu, go back and sit down, there are still a few people?"

"Yes"

Xia Yuning thought that Beicheng Aotian would be angry when she heard her words, but no, the emperor didn't say a word and acquiesced to Luo Jia's words.

The emperor really won't choose them because the emperor doesn't like them.

Xia Yuning no longer had the joy of being praised, but was even more depressed, as soon as she sat down, Xia Jiaoning leaned over and asked puzzledly, "Sister, the emperor praised you, are you not happy?"

"Me"

Xia Yuning wanted to say that the emperor praised her, but how could she be happy if she had more words later, but could she say now that 'the emperor and queen didn't want to choose concubines, but to suppress them'.

"What's wrong with you?"

Xia Jiaoning could almost guess that her sister, who wanted to speak and stopped, must have suffered a loss in front of the emperor.

"You eat, eat, see"

Xia Yuning picked up a piece of salty pastry and gave it to her.

"What's wrong?"

Xia Jiaoning looked at the pastry, thinking that this was a salty pastry, and her doubts came up again, she knew that Xia Yuning's favorite was desserts, but she just went to say that she couldn't eat desserts, so there would be this salty pastry.

So she also understood that this pastry was problematic, so she didn't take the pastry.

At this moment, a brisk laughter came into the Smoke and Rain Pavilion, which was obviously a little quiet, and then a red figure jumped up the high threshold and quickly arrived at their table in Beicheng Aotian.

Her feet were not wearing shoes, Luo Jia knew that they were ski boots, and they were ski boots made by Beicheng Aoxue.

"Xue'er has seen the emperor's brother and the emperor's sister-in-law"

Beicheng Aoxue is still wearing a red costume, which is different from usual in that it doesn't look so cumbersome, and it is very simple.

Cuffs cinched at the waist and paired with these trousers.

This is obviously a tracksuit, with a white hat on top of his head.

Looking at Beicheng Aoxue's appearance, Beicheng Aotian already knows what she is going to do, and every winter, she will do this.

"Cher, you're here to find your sister-in-law"

Beicheng Aotian looked at Luo Jia, did Beicheng Aoxue come to find her!

"It's not"

Beicheng Aoxue shook her head, turned her head to look at Bai Lingxue and them on the side, Bai Lingxue and the three of them were suddenly overjoyed, the princess finally came.

"I'm here to borrow from my sister-in-law"

It's borrowing someone again, Beicheng Aotian was borrowed by her last time Luo Jia, and today she wants to borrow someone from Luo Jia again.

"Sister-in-law, I owe someone for this activity, you can lend me a few"
