Ye Qinglan's eyes lit up when she heard this voice.

This voice impressed her too deeply, although she only saw a back just now, which already amazed her and imagined. Now that I have the opportunity to see the deity, how can I let it go!

She wasn't tall in the first place, and she sat a little farther away, so she could see clearly. Just as he was thinking of finding a reason to stand up and take a closer look, he heard Ye Qingning smile faintly: "Concubine Shen has won the award, where is my little skill worth mentioning in front of you." ”

The words were very polite, but the look on Ye Qingning's face was not like that at all.

In the end, she is arrogant, and she has always secretly regarded Shen Qiuyu as a rival in love, and it is already good to be able to resist not directly provoking.

Before Shen Qiuyu could say anything, the flute girl smiled again: "It's rare to have such a good opportunity today, I wonder if Concubine Shen can open our eyes?" ”

Ye Qingning secretly sneered in his heart and glanced at the flute girl.

If you have friends, you will have opponents. This flute girl is surnamed Luo, called Luo Miaoke, and is the youngest daughter of Prime Minister Luo. is the sister of Luo Miaoyin, who admired Gu Xinian.

She and Luo Miaoke are both from famous families, and they are both arrogant and talented girls of the same age, so they are naturally compared everywhere. It's just that Luo Miaoke's appearance is slightly inferior, and she has been pressed by her. Therefore, it has not been on the same page with her. I didn't expect to meet again at the flower viewing banquet today, so naturally I had to compete.

Luo Miao could see that she was in the limelight, and she was not angry, and she wanted Shen Qiuyu to play a song to suppress her limelight. Hum! Just let the horses come.

Thinking of this, Ye Qingning said with a smile: "Sister Luo's mention is very much in line with my heart, but I don't know if Concubine Shen is willing to appreciate this face!" ”

Speaking of this, Shen Qiuyu couldn't refrain anymore, so she had to smile and say: "The two of you are so gracious, I have no choice but to offer a song with a cheeky face." ”

Everyone was in good spirits when they heard this. The young girls, in particular, whispered excitedly.

Who hasn't heard of the name Shen Qiuyu? But Shen Qiuyu is famous. After all, it was a few years ago when I didn't get married. At that time, all the women of the same age were married, but all of them were young girls who were thirteen or fourteen years old, and almost no one had heard Shen Qiuyu play the piano. Today, I have to appreciate and compare, compared to Ye Qingning.

A graceful figure stood up.

Ye Qinglan looked over with wide eyes.

Sure enough, she is a very beautiful woman. A pointed melon seed face, eyebrows like green daisy, eyes like autumn water, smiling in anticipation, almost impeccable beauty. Although the dress is elaborate and elegant, it is not ostentatious. The elegance of gestures and smiles is even more amazing.

If it's just about appearance. Ye Qingning is not inferior in the slightest. But her natural elegance compares Ye Qingning to Ye Qingning. It also overshadowed all the young girls present. If you compare all the girls to flowers, then she is a begonia that dominates the crowd. Standing still, the branches reveal fragrance.

What a Shen Qiuyu!

The woman who can make Gu Xinian remember it and still make the crown prince Zhao Qi marry regardless of brotherhood is really extraordinary.

Ye Qinglan stared at Shen Qiuyu intently, her eyes full of amazement.

The people present are all women, although they are not like men who will lose their souls when they see beauties. But everyone loves to look at beauties, and when Shen Qiuyu got up, everyone's eyes looked at it together.

Shen Qiuyu was obviously used to being noticed by everyone, and smiled slightly, like a flower blooming: "Sister Qingning, can I borrow your piano?" ”

Ye Qingning was unwilling to be in the limelight. also smiled faintly: "Concubine Shen, please feel free." ”

Beauty moves, no swords and swords, just a faint look. They already know each other's hearts.

Shen Qiuyu nodded with a smile and walked to the middle of the field without hurrying. Ye Qingning and Luo Miaoke stood side by side, but they ignored each other, only staring at the graceful figure in the field, and a trace of jealousy flashed in their eyes.

Ye Qinglan also looked at it carefully. From a visual point of view, Shen Qiuyu is at least 1.65 meters. In the midst of a crowd of delicate and small women. It looks more and more slender and slender.

Shen Qiuyu sat down suddenly, tried the sound a little, and then plucked the strings attentively.

The sound of the piano is like the murmuring of a stream, and it is like the chirping of birds in an empty mountain, and the sound falls into the bottom of people's hearts.

This piece seems familiar. Ye Qinglan thought about it for a while, and then remembered where she had heard this song. The piano song that Ye Qingning quietly practiced that day was this one. It's just that Shen Qiuyu's piano skills are obviously much higher than Ye Qingning's, obviously an indifferent and distant piano music, but it quietly plucks people's heartstrings, and people can't help but indulge in it.

Even Ye Qinglan, a layman, could hear the difference between superior and inferior, and Ye Qingning naturally knew it as soon as he heard it, biting his lip unconsciously, and his pretty face was faintly white.

Luo Miaoke glanced at Ye Qingning intentionally or unintentionally, and smiled deliberately: "Sister Ye, in your opinion, how is Concubine Shen's piano skills?" ”

Ye Qingning's face was ugly, and his lips were tightly pursed.

Luo Miaoke admired Ye Qingning's ugly face, but her heart was very happy.

The piece is not too long, and it will be over in a few minutes. The moment the piano stopped abruptly, everyone was intoxicated, and they didn't come back to their senses for a long time, but no one got up to cheer for a while.

Shen Qiuyu got up with a shallow smile and walked in front of Ye Qingning: "Sister Qingning's piano is really a rare good piano. ”

Ye Qingning tugged at the corners of his lips and squeezed out a smile: "It's Concubine Shen's piano skills." "Most people who play the piano are accustomed to using their own qin, and when they change to an unfamiliar guqin, they will inevitably feel uncomfortable. But Shen Qiuyu used her piano to play a more beautiful music than her......

She's a complete disgrace today!

But Luo Miaoke came over with a smile and praised Shen Qiuyu fiercely. While speaking, he deliberately glanced at Ye Qingning a few times, and Ye Qingning felt depressed in his heart, so don't mention it.

Only then did everyone react and gathered around one by one, Shen Qiuyu responded with a smile, his words were humble and gentle, and his demeanor and etiquette were excellent, so that people couldn't find a little fault.

Mrs. Zheng never got up, and glanced at Shen Qiuyu, who was held by the stars, and then withdrew her gaze.

Mrs. Xu and Zheng didn't move, the two exchanged a tacit look, and tacitly chose to be silent.

Ye Qinglan had already sensed the subtlety of the atmosphere, and a series of thoughts passed through her heart. I don't know what happened back then, Shen Qiuyu would marry the prince's mansion in just three days. Looking at Mrs. Zheng's reaction, it seems that there is something else in it......

Ye Qingning came back soon.

Seeing Ye Qinglan and Gu Xiyu, Ye Qingning was also a little surprised. But she was not in a good mood at the moment, so she didn't ask much, just nodded casually, and sat down beside Zheng.

Zheng knows her proud nature best, and after such a setback this time, she doesn't know what her anger has become. It's just that there are too many people, so it's hard to say comfort.

Ye Qinglan didn't say anything. Ye Qingning's face almost didn't have the words "I'm very irritable, don't pay attention to me". At this time, no matter what you say, you can't please it, so it's better to open your mouth less.

With Shen Qiuyu's wonderful appearance, the next talent show seemed a little unfazed. Ye Qingning was not interested, and after a few glances, he lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking.

Ye Qinglan watched it with great interest. This is the first time she has experienced such a rare banquet. This is much more exciting than the draft contest in later generations. All of them have real talents, or play the piano or blow the flute, or compose poems or write, which is pleasing to the eye.

Gu Xiyu also looked very seriously. In fact, since she sat down, her eyes haven't taken off the open space dedicated to everyone performing.

Ye Qinglan felt that she looked very cute, and laughed in a low voice: "Cousin Xiyu, don't you think it's funny?" ”

Gu Xiyu pursed her lips and smiled. Such an occasion is also very foreign to her. Generally speaking, only eleven or twelve-year-olds are eligible, and she has hardly been out of the house since she was ten years old......

Ye Qinglan asked curiously, "By the way, Cousin Xiyu, do you know what musical instrument?" "There were more than a dozen girls present, and almost all of them had talents that they were good at. It seems that the nobles of the family at this time attached great importance to the cultivation and teaching of girls. Gu Xiyu should be no exception.

Gu Xiyu shook her head and whispered, "I can paint." ”

Paint? Ye Qinglan's eyes lit up: "Really? That's great, I like calligraphy and painting the most. Next time you have a chance, can you draw one for me to see? ”

Gu Xiyu smiled and nodded. The smile was still a little timid, but it was much better than the cowardice and cringe before.

Mrs. Zheng has been paying attention to Gu Xiyu's every move, and when she saw her and Ye Qinglan talking and laughing in a low voice, she couldn't say how comfortable she was.

At the end of the unitary hour, the cherry blossom viewing feast finally ended.

Xu led his daughter Zhang Yue and sent off the guests with a smile.

Before Shen Qiuyu left, she specially went to Mrs. Zheng and politely saluted and said goodbye. Although she is already the crown prince's concubine, she is a junior gift to Mrs. Zheng.

Mrs. Zheng smiled politely: "Concubine Shen is so polite, it really makes the concubine ashamed." If you have free time in the future, you might as well go back to the Dingguo Mansion and walk around. The old lady always thinks about you! Although the words are polite, they are not very sincere and enthusiastic, and they are obviously just casual words.

Shen Qiuyu didn't notice it, nodded with a smile, and then looked at Gu Xiyu: "Cousin, see you next time." ”

Gu Xiyu pursed her lips and lowered her head without speaking.

Shen Qiuyu touched a soft nail, but she was not annoyed, smiled faintly, and left surrounded by a group of maids.

Ye Qingning stared at Shen Qiuyu's figure tightly, his eyes were extremely complicated. Zheng glanced at Ye Qingning, and a trace of forbearance flashed in his eyes.

Ye Qinglan was also looking at Shen Qiuyu's back, and somehow had a strong premonition in her heart. And her hunch has always been very good.

They will definitely meet again soon......
