Judging upstairs, the Queen Mother pinched the handrails, and the green tendons on the back of her hands protruded one by one, and she heard the exclamations of the judges downstairs.

"Look, she's attracted a flock of geese!"

"Smelling today's song, it's really a blessing for three lives!"

"Indeed, this song should only be in heaven!"

"This piano art is a game, and the leader deserves it."

……

The judges downstairs seemed very excited, and the sound was very loud, all of which fell into the ears of the Queen Mother, who stared at the flocks of geese that surrounded Gu Qingwan and refused to leave for a long time, only to feel that there was a smoldering fire in her chest, which made her seven orifices almost smoke, but she couldn't get angry, so she could only swallow the smoke back, and her eyes were full of hot pain.

The face of the Duchess of Zhenguo is also ugly, and the daughter-in-law she chose completely lost to the former daughter-in-law who was dismissed, and she slapped her face clearly, there is nothing more embarrassing.

She closed her eyes, and before she could recover her senses, Prince Li's arrogant laughter came.

But I don't know when, Prince Li has already stood up, a few steps to the railing, at this moment he is looking at the railing, half of his body is leaning out, as if he still doesn't see clearly enough, while patting the fence vigorously, while laughing loudly: "Okay! Good! I didn't expect Concubine Gu to have this hand, this piano sound is the sound of this king's rough men are fascinated by it, no wonder it can attract so many geese. ”

After he finished speaking, he suddenly turned around again, looked at the Queen Mother, and said, "Now that this Gu family has won three competitions, this king can call her Concubine Gu, right?" ”

The Queen Mother looked at Prince Li's impatientness, as if there was only one Gu Qing left in the entire Prince Li's mansion, and her eyes flashed with gloom and ridicule, but she slowly spoke, and said: "The results of the competition have not come out yet, you still have to listen to the judges, and when the Gu family really wins, the mourning family will remember the decree, and it will be too late for the prince to change his name at that time, otherwise, the prince will be impeached again for improper family style." This is still a trivial matter, the prince is the emperor's uncle, and the emperor will not let the imperial historians do anything about the emperor's uncle, but if this family is under the influence of this style, it will not be good to have another concubine Liu. ”

The princess was poisoned, although she didn't know what happened, but she died violently after Concubine Liu, and the two sons of Concubine Liu were also grounded in the palace and never appeared in the public's sight again.

Prince Li has been impeached again because of this matter, but he is a regent, and these petty impeachments have no substantial harm at all.

However, the Queen Mother is now using this matter to ridicule Prince Li, but it makes Prince Li a little annoyed, and his face sank.

Even if you feel that it is wrong to be used to a concubine room, even if you feel that a side room is so showy, there are indeed some problems, but it is the Queen Mother who caused this scene. If it weren't for the Queen Mother's suggestion, where would there be today's events.

Prince Li snorted coldly and said, "The Gu family saved the princess's life, so it is natural for her to mention the concubine." The Queen Mother had to make such a competition, why didn't she think it was inappropriate when she mentioned it at the time, but now that the Gu family has won, she thinks it's inappropriate? ”

The Queen Mother didn't expect Prince Li to say so simply and rudely in public, and slapped her in the face directly, and suddenly her face was white and red, with a hideous expression, and she glared at Prince Li angrily, "You! ”

Seeing that she was about to be angry, she had been sitting next to her leisurely, and Princess Li, who was smiling, smiled and said, "The imperial sister-in-law doesn't know our prince yet, she has a bad temper, and she loves to talk nonsense when she doesn't agree." The Queen Mother is not good at heart, but the Gu family can win three games in a row, and she is also the imperial sister-in-law, I believe that for my life-saving benefactor, the imperial sister-in-law is also grateful to her heart, and she is also dedicated to her good, and wants the Gu family to sit on the side concubine in the name of the right, so she proposed today's competition. The imperial sister-in-law must have known that the Gu family had this talent, and she would definitely be able to win three games, so she would mention yì, right? ”

What can the Queen Mother say?

If you don't admit it, wouldn't it be tantamount to admitting Prince Li's questioning, specifically embarrassing Prince Li's mansion and embarrassing Prince Li's life-saving benefactor?

There are rumors that she is dissatisfied with Gu Qingwan because Gu Qingwan saved the life of Prince Li, and I am afraid that some people will guess that maybe the people who poisoned Princess Li are the emperor and her.

The Queen Mother's chest rose and fell, and finally she smiled and resisted the urge to vomit blood, and nodded: "That's right, it's still the younger brother and sister who know the mourning family best." ”

Prince Li didn't let the Queen Mother go, and said, "Oh, how did the Queen Mother know that the Gu family has this talent?" ”

The Queen Mother's face stiffened, and without waiting for her to answer, Prince Li suddenly said again: "Oh, by the way, it must be the Duchess of Zhenguo who sued the Queen Mother." ”

As she spoke, she looked slightly sideways at the Duchess of Zhenguo, who was sitting on the other side of the Queen Mother, and said, "Thank you, madam, for giving such a good girl to our palace, otherwise, the life of this princess will be lost." Speaking of which, this princess should also thank her wife. ”

Zhen Guogong's ugly face suddenly had no suspense, and it was even more difficult to see.

She wants to roar, mother, I don't want to accept your gratitude at all. You sarcastically mocked me so much, lost the pearl and chose the fish, are you still a little reserved?

But in the end, the Duchess of Zhenguo just smiled at the princess and said, "The Gu family is indeed very good, but it's a pity...... As a concubine, it is not suitable. By the way, today's Jiangyun County Lord, Miss Feng, and Miss Xu seem to have lost to the Gu family, these are all important invitations to the princess's flower appreciation banquet, and now I am afraid that they are...... Hey, there is such a capable concubine in the house, this is really ......"

The Duchess of Zhenguo sighed again as she spoke, the implication was that Gu Qingwan was like this, who could be Concubine Zheng of Qin Yu in the future? Don't they all have to be crushed to death by such a concubine?

This is not a good thing, it is simply a disaster for the palace.

"So, the princess doesn't have to thank me, but I want the princess to say sorry." The Duchess of Zhenguo spoke again, and glanced at Prince Li and Princess Li with pity.

Prince Li's eyes flashed slightly, in fact, she also thought about this problem just now, Feng Ziyue lost to Gu Qingwan several times, this is indeed not a very good thing, and Qin Yu's family affairs will definitely be more difficult in the future.

However, Prince Li is an open-minded person, and she will not cling to a dead knot, and the current situation is that Gu Qingwan saved her life, and she has to do what she should repay her kindness, she can't be wolf-hearted, and as for the rest, she can only walk and watch.

Therefore, Duchess Zhenguo's words did not affect Prince Li, she still smiled and said: "This is not bothering Duchess Zhenguo, Duchess Zhenguo should worry more about Aning's marriage." ”

Duchess Zhenguo laughed unconsciously, and said: "A Ning has already made a marriage with Miss Chen, and it will be good to get married sooner or later, but Prince Li and King Yanguang have to step up." ”

The princess didn't like to hear this the most, as if her son couldn't marry a daughter-in-law, and her smile suddenly faded, and she said: "Don't worry, the side rooms of our palace are stronger than the main rooms of other people's houses. ”

After saying that, Prince Li turned her face away lightly.

The Duchess of Zhenguo almost choked on her words, which clearly means that the daughter-in-law she picked for Lou Minning is not as good as the concubine of the palace, and she is simply picking and stuffing it into her own basket.

Duchess Zhenguo clenched her fists, and suddenly couldn't help but feel dissatisfied with Chen Yiru, she looks so good on weekdays, how can she lose to Gu Qingwan in every competition today! It's useless!

If she wins a game, she doesn't have to be so sarcastically teased.

And the Duchess of Zhenguo knew that Prince Li's teasing would soon spread to the entire circle of the powerful, and the Zhenguo Mansion was really embarrassed.

"Queen Mother, Fang Cai's piano skills competition, according to the set rules, Aunt Gu is a well-deserved leader."

At this moment, the head of Qinglian Mountain came up to report.

There is no place for the Queen Mother to pick on this game, she didn't even have a chance to open her eyes and say nonsense to embarrass Gu Qingwan, she waved her hand a little tiredly, and the Queen Mother said, "Very good." ”

The head of Qinglian Mountain did not retreat, and reported: "Queen Mother, something happened just now, Aunt Gu's qin was passive before the competition, but fortunately, the prince of Zhenguo found out in time that he had caught the person who was working on the qin, and now His Royal Highness King Yanguang is interrogating." ”

There were some small commotions before the competition, and the Queen Mother was just blocked by her line of sight and didn't see it. At this moment, hearing the words of the Qinglian Mountain Chief, Prince Li's face suddenly changed slightly, and said, "Qin has moved his hands and feet? Aunt Gu is okay, right? ”

Hearing this, the head of Qinglian Mountain hurriedly said: "Aunt Gu didn't suffer any injuries, but the prince of Zhenguo hurt his fingers by the strings. ”

Prince Li snorted coldly and said, "It's really bold, who would dare to do such a thing on such an occasion!" The Queen Mother should strictly investigate this matter. ”

The Queen Mother's face was gloomy, but she said: "What Prince Li said is extremely true, I believe that King Yan Guang's methods can find out this matter, and the mourning family will definitely be severely punished at that time, so the prince can rest assured." ”

The head of Qinglian Mountain retreated, but the Queen Mother stood up and said, "Mourning family go to change clothes." ”

The princess hurriedly stepped forward to hold the queen mother's hand, and when she arrived in a secluded place, the queen mother looked at the princess and said, "Make your own decisions!" ”

The princess didn't do a good job, so he didn't dare to come out, lowered his eyes, and said, "The slave didn't expect that Aunt Gu to be so vigilant, it was the slave and the maid who were careless." The slave maid also couldn't see the queen mother angry, and asked the queen mother to severely punish the slave and maid. However, the Queen Mother can rest assured that King Yan Guang will not be able to interrogate anything. ”

When the Queen Mother heard this, her face was slightly better, and she said, "How did A-Ning get into this?" ”

The prince sighed and said: "The prince is very vigilant, and he is also very concerned about Aunt Gu, it is the slave and maid who are not good at doing things. ”

The Queen Mother showed an unhappy look on her face and said, "Ah Ning is really confused!" This Aunt Gu is really a scourge! ”

After saying that, she couldn't help but say, "Send some jade snow paste to A-Ning." ”

There was a little helplessness in the Queen Mother's tone, obviously, even if Lou Minning spoiled her business, in the end, it was a blood relative, and the Queen Mother couldn't do anything with Lou Minning except for chest tightness.

Chief Weidong announced that Gu Qingwan won the piano art competition, but this time no one said anything about it.

"Next is the chess competition, you can prepare."

Originally, the female students were completely covered by Gu Qingwan, and Wei Dongshan should be unhappy, but because the three female students did not win the championship, he also felt that his face was not so ugly. In addition, Gu Qing's painting and piano skills competition today is indeed rare in a hundred years.

A person like Wei Dongshan, who is obsessed with art, is also dissatisfied with Gu Qingwan's final dissatisfaction, but he is still looking forward to the next chess competition, and what amazing performance Gu Qingwan can bring.

Gu Qingwan smiled bitterly and blessed his body, and said: "The mountain chief doesn't know, I am a stinky chess basket, and I will not participate in the next chess competition." ”

Chief Weidong was stunned when he heard this, Gu Qing was already blessed, and said, "Princess Fang just called me over to talk, and I retired first." ”

After she said that, Wen Qing hurriedly stepped forward, and led Gu Qingwan to the judgment building.

The head of Weidong Mountain wanted to call her again, and the head of Qinglian Mountain next to him said: "Gu's participation in today's competition is just because of the queen mother's decree, she can be promoted to the position of side concubine if she wins three competitions." Now that she has won three games, it is normal for her to be reluctant to participate in chess competitions. Brother Weidong should not keep her. ”

The Weidong Mountain Chief hadn't heard of this yet, and his brows furrowed when he heard the words, but he immediately understood what the Qinglian Mountain Chief meant. After winning three games, Yi's purpose has been completed, and there is no need to win again, everything is accounted for, in fact, it is not a good thing, you need to know that the water is full and overflowing.

Even if he forced himself to leave Gu Qingwan to participate in the chess competition, he would not be able to see any amazing performances, and she would only take the initiative to lose her chess skills.

Gu Qing came to the judging building at night, and it happened that Prince Li came down from the upper floor, and when he saw Gu Qingwan, Prince Li raised his voice and laughed, and said, "Not bad, not bad, I didn't lose the face of Prince Li's mansion!" It's not in vain that the king came to see you to compete, good! ”

Gu Qingwan, "......"

"Qingqing."

Qin Yu's voice sounded behind him, Gu Qingwan turned his head sideways, and saw Qin Yu striding over, his face was not good-looking. Gu Qingwan's heart sank slightly, it seemed that Mr. Liu did not recognize any answer that satisfied Qin Yu.

Qin Yu arrived at Gu Qingwan's side in a few steps, and took her hand by the way, he didn't have a good face with Prince Li these days, and Prince Li didn't bother to worry about Qin Yu outside, so he snorted and strode away from the side with a straight face.

Qin Yu casually pulled Gu Qing upstairs at night, and Prince Li was the first to see the two of them coming up together, and said to Gu Qing with a smile: "Fang was not frightened." ”

Gu Qing took Princess Li's hand in the evening, checked her fingers, and said with a smile: "I'm fine, but let the princess worry about it." ”

The Duchess of Zhenguo, who was sitting next to her, saw that the two of them got along so well, chuckled, and said: "The princess is really a gentle temperament, I don't know, I must think that this is the serious daughter-in-law of the palace." ”

The Duchess of Zhenguo has been lukewarm to her in the past, but she is still measured, and she will not do anything rude and vitriol in public.

Today, he is so cynical, it seems that he is really angry enough.

Gu Qingwan's smile remained unchanged, and Princess Li said with a smile: "They all serve their own sons, if they are not good to other girls, how can they do their best to be good to their sons?" This princess will only be better to her daughter-in-law in the future, this thousand-year-old daughter-in-law has become a mother-in-law, and we have all come over like this, why bother young people, the Duchess of Zhenguo said yes? ”

The face of the Duchess of Zhenguo was a little ugly for a while, who didn't know, when the old Duchess of Zhenguo was there, she didn't like the Duchess of Zhenguo, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were not very harmonious, and the Duchess of Zhenguo who had been suppressed by the old Duchess of Zhenguo was dead.

It is probably because Gu Qing is not liked by the Duchess of Zhenguo in the evening, and there is also this reason, she was given to Lou Minning by the Duchess of Zhenguo.

And Princess Li's mother-in-law is the Queen Mother, and she is very good to Princess Li, and they don't live together.

Therefore, Prince Li's words are simply satirizing the Duchess of Zhenguo, who is not liked by her mother-in-law, and is now specifically picky about her daughter-in-law.

Princess Li is simply naked for Gu Qingwan, and the Duchess of Zhenguo thinks that Prince Li's family is simply crazy, for an aunt, so protective, what do you want to do!?

The chess competition at the end of the game progressed very quickly, and I don't know if it was because Gu Qingwan's piano competition made the girls feel fluctuated and confused, in short, Chen Xinying won the first place in the chess competition within two hours of incense.

The Queen Mother was invited to the bottom, and in front of everyone, in the competition field, she inserted three beautifully carved magnolia and Tian Yu hairpins into Gu Qingwan's bun, and inserted the last magnolia hairpin for Chen Xinying.

Gu Qingwan heard all kinds of discussions behind him.

"This is the first time that someone can take three magnolia branches in a row, and the most powerful one before was the county lord of Yunyao, but he only took two piano skills and calligraphy."

"How can the two magnolia branches taken by the county lord of Yunyao before be compared to this, that is a separate competition of Jingyun Female School, and it is far from this."

"Sure enough, the name of the first talented woman in the capital is not in vain."

"The name of the first beauty in the capital is not in vain, but it's a pity, such a gorgeous woman ......"

"Don't blame King Yan Guang for taking her so seriously, if I were a man, I wouldn't be able to pass such a beauty pass."

……

If Gu Qingwan only won one competition, the girls would probably be angry, but she won three games in a row with a suppressive effect, and the final piano competition was so shocking that the girls felt a sense of pity for her.

There were many discussions not far away, Gu Qingwan's face was as usual, calm and calm, she didn't care about winning or losing, she just didn't want to be wantonly bullied by the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother was supposed to say a few words, but she was obviously hit by Gu Qingwan, and after putting on the two of them with a magnolia hairpin, she looked tired and prepared to leave.

I didn't want Qin Yu to speak up suddenly, and said: "Someone just did something on the piano in the piano competition, the Queen Mother doesn't want to uphold justice and interrogate this matter clearly?" ”

Qin Yu said, squinted slightly and glanced at the princess beside the queen mother, the prince thought that Qin Yu had found out something, his forehead was sweating, and his legs trembled.

The Queen Mother paused, looked at Qin Yu with a slightly cold face, and said, "Oh? But I don't know what King Yan Guang found? ”

There were people listening with their ears pricked up, and the news of the piano competition had spread. The person was obviously going for Gu Qing late, but the Queen Mother acted as if nothing had happened, so it can be seen that it was indeed because the Queen Mother wanted to embarrass Aunt Gu and embarrass the Prince's Mansion that today's incident happened.

Everyone couldn't help but show a look of enlightenment, but Qin Yu finally took his eyes back from the prince's body and said, "The one who is doing his hands and feet on the piano is Mr. Liu Congshan, who teaches the piano art class at Jingyun Women's School. ”

"Oh? Why did he murder Aunt Gu? The Queen Mother leisurely stroked the armor on her hand.

Qin Yu pursed his lips and finally spoke: "He said that he did this because he was threatened, but unfortunately he refused to explain who threatened him, and he had already taken poison in advance, so the clue was broken." ”

Qin Yuyan said, raised his eyes and looked at the prince with a smile, and saw that the prince breathed a sigh of relief.

Qin Yu's eyes narrowed slightly, and sure enough, this matter was instructed by the Queen Mother.

Only Liu Congshan was doing things for the Queen Mother, so in his torture, he didn't dare to tell half the truth no matter what, and he was drugged in advance and didn't dare to speak out.

The Queen Mother sighed and said, "That's a pity......

Princess Li glanced at the Queen Mother, stepped forward, took Gu Qingwan's hand, and said, "I have wronged you." ”

Gu Qingwan shook her head with a smile and said, "I don't have anything, it's just that the piano almost got into Miss Feng's hands, if Miss Feng used the piano and her fingertips were cut off, Miss Feng was so frightened that she couldn't play well in the piano competition." ”

Princess Li was stunned when she heard this, she didn't know that there were such twists and turns in the matter, and said, "How could the qin almost fall into the hands of Miss Feng?" ”

Gu Qingwan twisted her eyebrows and said: "The princess doesn't know, when I entered the arena with the qin, I was called by the county lord of Yunyao, and the county lord of Yunyao came over with Miss Feng and said a few words to me. Later, someone pushed me and Miss Feng twice, and as a result, the two of us fell to the ground, and the piano in our hands was also mixed together. ”

The county lord of Yun Yao, who was standing in a group of girls, suddenly changed her complexion, she suddenly looked at Gu Qingwan, but Gu Qingwan also looked at her with a smile in her eyes, and the county lord of Yun Yao was cold, and a cold air jumped up from the soles of her feet.

T
