Princess Tongfu looked at the visitor and said with a smile: "Brother Run'er's flute skills are getting better and better, if you can find a beautiful woman who is good at the piano in the future, and the two form a pair of bosom friends, it will be a good story." ”

Shen Run, the prince of Rong'an County, bowed and said, "The princess is bothered, the matter of marriage is determined by heaven, and Run'er is waiting for God's arrangement." ”

Princess Tongfu shook her head slightly, and said, "You, you are not in a hurry, but your mother has mentioned it to me several times, asking me to treat you like a beautiful woman." I'm also your aunt, how can I not care about such a big thing. ”

After that, she glanced at the lady from Beijing who was sitting on one side.

There are a few famous ladies on the other side who have seen the signs clearly, it turns out that this peony banquet is different from usual, it seems that it is specially prepared for the prince of Rong'an County, is it possible to choose a princess for the prince of the county at this peony banquet? Immediately, a few people showed eager expressions, if it weren't for the lady's reserve, they would have planned to come forward to show their piano skills and become a pair of bosom friends with the prince of that county.

Shen Run smiled helplessly, what kind of peony banquet is this, is it simply his Hongmen banquet, if it weren't for his mother's hard work, he wouldn't want to come at all. Knowing this, I shouldn't have been able to stop my friends from coaxing and blowing that song, and it was not easy to be confused by everyone.

Princess Tongfu didn't know what he was thinking, but the young man was thin-skinned, so she stopped teasing him, and said to the young handsome people with a smile: "Don't stand stupidly, take a seat." ”

As soon as the group sat down and tasted tea for a while, Princess Tongfu smiled gracefully and said, "I just listened to Run'er's flute, and I haven't seen your daughters show their talents." It just so happened that I just got a good piano a few days ago, so why don't you try it out. Qin Rui, go get my jade frost qin. ”

The maid standing next to Princess Tongfu agreed, and hurriedly went to fetch the piano.

Only then did he say that he wanted to help Wang Shizi of Rong'an County to be a bosom friend, so he invited all the women to show off his piano skills, what his intention was already obvious, who was present did not know, and a few of them were happy, looking at Shen Run earnestly. Everyone knows that it is not the position of an ordinary lady of the main family, once she is in love, she will have to enter the clan, and she can be regarded as a relative of the emperor.

As soon as Qin Rui took the piano and put it away, a woman stepped forward and saluted, saying, "The little girl is familiar with the piano, and she is willing to play a song for the princess." ”

Jiang Suoyue stroked her forehead, she knew that Jiang Jiaoyue was an impatient person, but she didn't expect her to be so anxious after seeing the prince of Rong'an County. She also knew that she was reserved, and she didn't say that she was playing for the prince of the county, but the people present were not blind, so impatient, and she was not afraid of being looked down upon.

Lord Tongfu asked kindly, "Which girl are you?" ”

Jiang Jiaoyue saluted and said, "The little girl is the concubine of the Jiang family, the servant of the household department. ”

She couldn't wait to report her maiden name, but she also knew that the foreign man was present, and everyone was watching, so it was inappropriate, so she deliberately emphasized that she was a concubine to distinguish herself from Jiang Suoyue who was present.

After saying that, she glanced at Jiang Suoyue proudly, and then secretly glanced in the direction where Shen Run was.

Princess Tongfu bowed her head and said, "Then I will ask you to play a song." ”

Jiang Jiaoyue was secretly happy in her heart and said, "Yes, the little girl is ugly." ”

A pair of delicate jade hands coated with Kodan plucked the strings lightly, and the sound of the piano slowly flowed out like flowing water. Although Jiang Suoyue didn't like Jiang Jiaoyue's personality, she had to admit that her piano skills were good, and she was specially taught by Jiang Tian's family.

At the end of the song, Jiang Jiaoyue's face was colorful, although she had to wear a hat when she went out to play the piano, it was a pity that she couldn't let the prince appreciate her beauty. But her exquisite piano skills must be able to amaze the prince, and the position of the princess is in her pocket.

However, all the ladies present are famous, which one of them has not been taught by someone at home, how can Jiang Jiaoyue be in the limelight alone. No, as soon as Jiang Jiaoyue finished playing, another woman stepped forward to play, and her piano skills were not weaker than Jiang Jiaoyue.

When Jiang Jiaoyue heard this, her face immediately collapsed, she boasted of her outstanding piano skills, and she would definitely be able to leave a deep impression on the prince, who knew that she would bite the gold halfway, and she couldn't help but hate in her heart.

When several daughters showed their piano skills in a row, even Jiang Jiaoyue couldn't hate it, they were all proficient, and it was difficult to distinguish between them.

Princess Tongfu couldn't tell the difference, so she wanted to find out what Shen Run meant, to see if he had a favorite candidate in the process, so she said to Shen Run: "Run'er, I see that these daughters are all exquisite in the piano, it is really difficult to distinguish between the superior, which one do you think is better?" ”

Where is this asking which piano skills are good, it is clearly asking which person is good. The hearts of the few people who had just performed were up and down, waiting with bated breath for Shen Run to speak.

Shen Run said with a smile: "What my aunt said is that the girls are indeed extraordinary, just like heaven. It's just that the little nephew admires the naturalness of the bamboo forest, the cloth clothes and clogs, and the piano with no hands. ”

That's all of them, Princess Tongfu knew it in her heart, and couldn't help but sigh.

The few girls who had just played the piano were gloomy, and silently glanced at the gorgeous clothes on their bodies, the bright Kodan on their nails, and a little disappreciative, they are such ladies, which is not silk and satin, rouge Kodan, how can they be dressed up in cloth and clogs, clean face and hands, isn't that like a slave.

Jiang Jiaoyue's eyes rolled, and she thought of an idea, and saluted: "Princess Huiyu, I have a younger sister, and she doesn't love Kodan on weekdays, so it is better for her to play a song for the prince, which also has a bit of a meaning of caressing the qin with no hands." ”

She didn't want to give Jiang Saoyue a chance to be in the limelight, but because she couldn't get used to seeing Jiang Saoyue without nails and without Kodan's appearance, she often laughed at her for knowing that she was a slave and knew how to dress as a slave. Thinking that the husband at home had never taught Jiang Suaoyue to play the piano seriously, he wanted her to make a fool of herself in public.

Jiang Suoyue was still secretly laughing in her heart, this prince of the county must be a literary and artistic young man in modern times, and those who yearn for it are naturally incomprehensible to laypeople like her. But she didn't want Jiang Jiaoyue to lead the fire to her, Jiang Suoyue rolled her eyes in her heart, this person really didn't change, and she couldn't get well, so she wanted to drag her down.

She got up and saluted, and said, "Returning to the princess, the little girl is not wearing cloth clothes and clogs, but I am afraid that I will sweep away the interest of the prince." ”

A few girls who had just played the piano were puzzled, how rare it was to have a chance to show their talents in front of the world, how could this person shirk in every way, and then saw the gloating expression of the woman who recommended her, and guessed that she was not good at the piano, so she also sat down peacefully, waiting to see the joke.

Princess Tongfu didn't know that their sisters were not in harmony, and thought that Jiang Jiaoyue was sincerely recommending, and Jiang Suoyue was modest, so she smiled gently: "It's okay, you can play a song and ask me to listen to it." ”

Since the princess had ordered it to be played to her, Jiang Suoyue naturally didn't want to shirk it again, and she was busy complimenting.

But he secretly said in his heart, Jiang Jiaoyue, Jiang Jiaoyue, you just want me to make a fool of myself, if it was in the past, maybe I would cooperate with you, so as not to expose myself. It's just that now, since our father's intention is there, why should I hide it anymore, in case he misunderstands that my strength is not good. If you want me to make a fool of myself, I'm afraid that I won't be able to let you get your wish, and then it will backfire, so don't be too surprised.

Jiang Suoyue put on her hat and slowly walked to the piano case and sat down, she had never shown her true piano skills in front of Jiang Jiaoyue, thinking of what kind of expression she would have after listening to her play later, she really had some faint expectations.
