Qianyun Palace. Xiao Mingcheng sat on the highest seat, dressed in a golden dragon robe, and his domineering spirit of not being angry and arrogant filled him.

The melodious sound of the piano rises and falls, the artistic conception of the piano is beautiful, the sound of the piano is endless, and the player of the piano is even more astonishing!

The young man playing the piano in the main hall is about fifteen, he is fresh and handsome, his eyebrows are picturesque, his lips are red and his teeth are white, and three thousand green silks are tied up by a hairband.

Dressed in white, clean and elegant, spotless, as beautiful as myself.

After the song was finished, everyone was still intoxicated with the song and couldn't return to their senses for a long time.

Xiao Mingcheng took the lead in applauding, and then the applause resounded in the sky.

"Ning Sanshao is really talented! is worthy of being my first genius in Cangyun! I believe that with Ning Sanshao participating in this summit competition, I Cangyun will definitely be able to achieve a good ranking! ”

Xiao Mingcheng praised.

"The emperor has won the award, and the grass people dare not be ashamed."

The boy said lightly.

He is Ning Yunchu, the third young master of the Ning family, the Ning family has been an official family for generations, and he has been loyal from generation to generation, and his father is the right prime minister.

Ning Yunchu is the third in the family, his eldest brother is an official, he is the champion of the new department, and the second brother is in business, in charge of the business community of the imperial city.

And Ning Yunchu, as the youngest son of the family, is very favored, but he is not in the officialdom or the business world, he likes to dance and write ink, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting since he was a child.

When he was fourteen years old, he won the title of the first genius of Cangyun.

"The eldest princess has arrived—"

Everyone was stunned, the eldest princess didn't like to participate in banquets in the past, except for large banquets, they couldn't see her at all at other times, and the eldest princess had already surprised them when she came to the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet last time.

It's just that today's banquet is to see off the people who participated in the summit competition, why is this eldest princess here?

"Wei Chen, see the eldest princess—"

Xiao Mo dyed and walked in, and today she wore a moon-white long skirt with a water-colored light veil.

There is only an autumn butterfly Wusheng Qi frost hairpin pinned to his head, and he still wears a milky white crescent moon on his forehead.

Under the night, the three-petal cherry blossoms between the eyebrows and the eyebrows appear a little hazy, and a silver silk hair plumps straight down, and the moonlight outside the hall shines in, and the hair seems to be covered with a layer of water.

The temperament of the moon, cold and noble!

Most of the people in the hall were children of the official family, young ladies, none of them had ever seen the true face of the eldest princess, and they were all a little stunned for a while, and even Ning Yunchu was a little stunned.

"Yan'er meets Uncle Huang."

When Xiaomo's ethereal and pleasant voice sounded, everyone came back to their senses.

"Yan'er doesn't have to be polite, why is Yan'er here today?"

Xiao Mingcheng was also a little surprised, he didn't expect Xiao Mo Ran to come.

Xiao Mo Ran replied, "Yan'er heard that Uncle Huang is here to see off the contestants who are going to the top competition, Yan'er has never been out of the palace since she was a child, and there are so many talented and beautiful people gathered here today, Yan'er wants to come and get to know her." ”

Xiao Mingcheng thought about it, indeed, Xiao Moran has never been out of the palace since he was a child, and he only knows his brothers and sisters, and he doesn't walk around with anyone else except for Xiao Yimo.

A few days ago, I finally came to Feng Luo Zi, and I got into Xiaomo's eyes, but I went home yesterday.

Thinking of this, he no longer has him outside, and he happily let Xiaomo dye sit down.

The talented and beautiful women have already finished performing, and the rest is to dance * Ji on the stage.

Xiao Mo Ran secretly looked at the candidates for this competition.

This time, there are a total of six candidates, two of whom are representatives of the princess and prince of the royal family, and the others are the children of ministers.

The royal family sent the fourth prince Xiao Chuyu and the third princess Xiao Zhiting.

Although the fourth prince has a picky personality, he is really talented, and the third princess is the most outstanding of the princesses.

The other four are two men and two women, and the men's group is Feng Luoge and Ning Yunchu.

The two in the women's group are Shangguan Rouyi and Yun Xian.

Shangguan Rouyi is the second lady of the Shangguan family and a famous talented woman in Cangyun Country.

I saw her wearing a bright yellow dress, looking beautiful and generous.

In terms of appearance, she is also a rare beauty, she is a typical ancient beauty, and her facial features are soft and delicate, which makes people feel pity.

And Yun Xian is the only daughter of Taifu Yunji, the first talented woman in Cangyun Kingdom, and she is as famous as Ning Yunchu.

Xiao Mo Ran looked at her, she was dressed in a pale blue dress, beautiful and dignified.

Her appearance is five points similar to Yunji's, but she is less sharp and more of a woman's tenderness.

Yun Xian seemed to notice her gaze, turned her head, and nodded and smiled at her.

Xiao Mo Ran also smiled back.

She still has a good impression of her husband's daughter.

Xiao Mingcheng on the stage looked at the audience, frowned and asked Concubine Yun on the side, "Chu Yu still didn't come?" ”

Concubine Yun said apologetically, "The concubine doesn't know where Yu'er went." ”

Knowing that Xiao Chuyu has always been elusive and playful, Xiao Mingcheng didn't ask any more.

When the banquet was almost underway, Xiao Mingcheng spoke, "It's getting late today, so let's stop here." The quota for the summit event was thus decided. ”

Hearing him say this, Xiao Zhiting had an undisguised proud smile on her face.

"Uncle Huang!"

Xiao Mo Ran suddenly changed lanes.

"What's wrong with Yan'er?"

Xiao Mingcheng turned his head to look at her and asked.

"Uncle Huang, Yan'er wants to go to the top competition."

Xiao Mo Ran said, "A few days ago, Mr. gave us something about the Cloud Palace and the Peak Contest in the future, and Yan'er was very yearning for the Cloud Palace, so Yan'er also wanted to go." ”

"Do you want to go too? In a few days, it will be the top competition, and then you and Chu Yu and the others will go to watch the competition together! ”

Xiao Mingcheng readily agreed.

"However, Yan'er wants to participate in the competition."

"This competition is not a joke, the eldest princess should stay in the palace obediently!"

Xiao Zhiting interjected, and it was difficult to hide her jealousy in her words.

Xiao Mingcheng also frowned, Xiao Moran rarely asked for him, so he tried to satisfy her what she wanted.

It's just that the summit competition represents the entire Cangyun country, which is not to be joked about.

He said euphemistically, "Yan'er, the quota for this summit competition has been decided, so you better go and have a look, don't participate." ”

"Wouldn't it be okay to let the third princess quit."

Xiao Mo said lightly, as if to say that the weather is good today.

The third princess's biological mother, Concubine Yi, couldn't help but speak out and said sharply, "The eldest princess, just kidding!" This race to the top is no joke! ”

Xiao Mingcheng was also a little embarrassed for a while.

The originally noisy hall was silent for a while, and everyone bowed their heads and did not dare to make a sound.

Xiao Mo said with a pale face as usual, "Uncle Huang, the top competition is all about selecting capable people to participate!" ”

Xiao Mingcheng nodded.

I only heard her continue, "The candidates for the top competition just said that people over thirty are not allowed to participate. In other words, if I can win against the Three Princesses, then I can participate in this competition! ”

"This ......"

Xiao Mingcheng said hesitantly, although Xiao Moran is talented, but after all, she is a seven-year-old girl, and she has not been exposed to many piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and it is impossible to win Xiao Zhiting.

But if you don't give her this opportunity, you can't say it, and if you give her this opportunity, if you lose, you're afraid of hurting the child's self-esteem.

Xiao Moran saw his doubts and said, "Uncle Huang, don't worry! Although Yan'er is small, he still knows the importance of the competition, and the competition should be attended by capable people, and Yan'er will not ignore the interests of the country. If you lose the game, Yan'er thinks that her skills are not as good as others, and she will not dwell on it too much. Therefore, Yan'er begged Uncle Huang to give Yan'er a fair chance! ”

After saying something, the people who were originally prejudiced against Xiao Mo on the field and secretly blamed her for being ignorant were relieved.

Sure enough, the princess who went to school is different, and her bearing is not very human.

Looking at everyone's appreciative gaze at Xiao Moran, Xiao Zhiting hated her teeth, although she was not as reckless as the eldest princess, but after all, she was a fourteen-year-old child, and all her feelings were written on her face.

A comparison will tell which princess is better.

"Father, the sons also ask for a fair chance to compete with the sons!"

Seeing this, Xiao Mingcheng also nodded, "Okay, I'll give it." Decide for yourself what you want! ”

Xiao Zhiting opened her mouth and said, "I don't know which one of the calligraphy and paintings does the eldest princess want to compare?" ”

The tone was full of disdain.

"Whatever."

Xiao Mo said lightly, not caring about her tone at all.

Xiao Zhiting was no longer polite, she caught a glimpse of the guqin that Ning Yunchu had just played, and as soon as her eyes turned, she said, "Then it's better than the guqin!" What do you think? ”

"Okay."

She replied.

She doesn't care about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, although she is not proficient in these, but it is more than enough to deal with the ancients.
