Old Lady Yun and Mrs. Yun were on the side, the old princess's face was always faint, and she couldn't see any joy, anger and sorrow, and waved her hand after sitting on the main seat, the princess smiled and nodded to Old Lady Yun and Mrs. Yun, and Mrs. Yun helped Old Lady Yun to sit on the side seat next to the main seat.

The main seat was originally occupied by the old princess, the princess and the county lord, each a few shorter. The old princess let Xiao Wei sit next to her, and Wu Yiyu and Xiao Jinglin were in the same case. The princess asked Mrs. Yun to add seats to Mrs. Xiao and Xiao Jingyuan's mother and daughter.

There are still a few low tables on both sides of the main seat, and now there is an old lady Yun, Ren Yaoqi was guessing who the remaining few were sitting on, but he saw Mrs. Xu Ouyang and several ladies coming over. After the ladies greeted the old princess and the princess, they sat down on the low table next to the old lady Yun. There were a total of six people sitting there, Ren Yaoqi only recognized Mrs. Xu, Mrs. Yun, Mrs. Su, and the remaining three ladies were all about the same age as Mrs. Xu, not to mention their appearance, and their temperament was very gentle.

The ladies who were originally standing bowed in unison.

The princess bowed her head gently, "Sit down." Then they sat down.

"All the people are here? Let's get started. The old princess raised her eyes and said lightly to the princess.

The princess replied and nodded at Mrs. Xu.

Although the daughter's banquet in previous years was organized by the Yun family, the investigation of the talents of the daughters was presided over by Mrs. Xu's Ouyang family.

Ouyang stood up and said slowly: "I think you all know the rules of today's competition, so I won't repeat them." The six arts of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, no matter what kind of talent it is, as long as you think it is what you are good at, you can show it. In the end, we will decide on the best ten Bu Jin Shi as the leaders of this year's Golden Banquet. The sage said, 'If a gentleman has nothing to fight, he will also shoot.' Drink and let go. Its contention is also a gentleman. As long as you understand this, then the outcome doesn't matter......"

Ouyang's voice was not loud. It's not sonorous and powerful, and even has a bit of a sick lack of middle qi, but it has a unique charm that can make people calm down and listen to her.

Ren Yaoqi sat down and looked at Ouyang, and saw that although her face was still not very good, her spirit was good. I don't know if the prescription helped her with her illness. Ren Yaoqi thought about waiting for the golden banquet to find an opportunity to visit.

Ouyang had already finished speaking and sat down, but Ren Yaoqi found that the ladies who were originally sitting upright seemed to be in a little commotion, although the commotion was shown to be very restrained. Ren Yaoyu, who was sitting next to her, always quietly looked into the peach blossom forest opposite from time to time.

Ren Yaochi also glanced up, but found that there seemed to be a crowd in the peach blossom forest. In a blink of an eye, he looked at the magic of the shy and timid and eager to try the ladies, and Ren Yaoqi understood. Presumably like the last Su family's tea party, those young masters and sons are gathering in the forest right now.

I heard that it was just yesterday's exchange. There are already more than a dozen families who have the intention of marrying each other, and these young ladies must also be very eager to know the appearance of the person who is going to marry them, after all, if they meet again next time, it is likely to be the time for the cave house to spend candles, because the two parties who are married are probably not from the same state capital, but they don't know if they can recognize people clearly when they see the flowers in the fog of most of the peach forest.

Seeing that none of the elders, including the old princess, showed any displeasure at this, presumably this is also the custom of the golden banquet.

Ren Yaoqi was absentmindedly thinking about what he didn't get, but he heard Ouyang Clan say above: "County Lord, how about you start today?" ”

Ren Yaoqi couldn't help but look up at Xiao Jinglin, who was originally sitting there expressionlessly with her face and reciting the meridian acupuncture point map of the human body. Hearing Ouyang call her, she raised her head casually. Subconsciously glanced at Ren Yaoqi, Ren Yaoqi smiled at her and winked and nodded.

Xiao Jinglin thought that she would have to play it once sooner or later anyway, the first one would be the first one, and she would learn from those women who were sick three times a day to leave first.

Thinking so, Xiao Jinglin was about to nod, but she heard Wu Yiyu, who was sitting next to her, take a step forward and said, "Jinglin, I'm afraid it's not ready yet." Why don't you let me start today? He didn't look at what Xiao Jinglin said, and stood up one step ahead of her.

Xiao Jinglin frowned, the princess was about to say something, but the old princess smiled and said, "Since Yiyu wants to come first." Then let Yiyu come. Jing Lin's finale today was also good. ”

The old princess opened her mouth, and the princess could only swallow her words, smiled and nodded: "It's the same to let Yiyu come first." ”

Wu Yiyu turned her head and smiled at Xiao Jinglin. Behind everyone's back, his smile contained undisguised pride and malice. Xiao Jinglin opened her eyes and looked at her as if she were nothing.

When the two maids carried a piano case and placed it under the main seat, Ren Yaoqi faintly felt that something was wrong.

Wu Yiyu slowly walked to the piano case and sat down, and her maid held a piano and put it on the piano case in front of her. An arrogant smile rose at the corner of Wu Yiyu's mouth, and she raised her hand to pluck the strings.

The familiar sound of the piano poured out from Wu Yiyu's fingertips, and Ren Yaochi couldn't help but sigh and looked at Xiao Jinglin.

Xiao Jinglin looked at Wu Yiyu below with an expressionless face, Wu Yiyu was also wearing a purple jacket and skirt today, embroidered with a flying phoenix with wings embroidered with gold thread all over the body, without embroidering Zhai pattern, and the piping on the cuff skirt was embroidered with the eight-treasure pattern of "conch umbrella cover, flower pot fish long". On his head was wearing a luxurious white jade inlaid lotus crown, and the outfit of this body was seven or eight points similar to Xiao Jinglin herself.

Xiao Jinglin doesn't pay attention to dressing up on weekdays, so she didn't notice Wu Yiyu's dress before. And now, Wu Yiyu played the song "Full Moon Guanshan" that she had practiced for a long time one step ahead of her, if she hadn't realized Wu Yiyu's deliberate provocation, then she would have lived in vain.

Xiao Jinglin is free and easy by nature, and she doesn't really care much about winning or losing today's daughter's banquet, but Wu Yiyu's doing this makes her feel a little sorry for the thoughts her mother has spent on her these days, and the waste of Ren Yaoqi's time and energy to accompany her to practice the piano.

Xiao Jinglin couldn't help but glance at the princess, the smile on the princess's face faded a lot, and she picked up the teacup and casually skimmed the tea foam.

The old princess squinted slightly, as if she was immersed in Wu Yiyu's piano sound and did not notice the surrounding atmosphere. Xiao looked at her daughter with a slight smile, and the tip of the index finger of her right hand gently slapped on the low table.

They didn't seem to realize that there was anything wrong with Wu Yiyu's behavior, but Xiao Jinglin's practice in Yanbei Wangfu was something that everyone in the palace knew, and even the mother-in-law who swept the floor in the palace knew that the county lord only played that tune every day.

Xiao Jinglin looked at Ren Yaoqi's somewhat worried eyes, she thought about it, and smiled comfortingly at Ren Yaoqi.

Ouyang also frowned, but today's game was hosted by her, and she couldn't say anything. After all, I said at the beginning that it is up to the ladies to show their own will.

Wu Yiyu finally finished playing the tune.

In all fairness, Wu Yiyu plays well, at least compared to Xiao Jinglin, who is holding Buddha's feet, her piano skills are much more superb. If Xiao Jinglin still insists on playing this song "The Moon is Full of Guanshan", no matter how well she plays, she will inevitably fall behind, presumably this is also Wu Yiyu's intention to play Xiao Jinglin's song first.

Wu Yiyu got up and returned to her seat, and when she sat down, she turned slightly away from her body and whispered in Xiao Jinglin's ear: "How am I playing?" ”

Xiao Jinglin turned her head to look at her, her eyes were like looking at an ant that couldn't get into her eyes, and then she turned her head without saying anything, and didn't pay attention to her anymore.

Xiao Jinglin has already decided not to play, although deep down she may be a little unwilling.

Wu Yiyu's face was so stimulated by her eyes that her face turned cold, and then as if she remembered something, a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"If you don't play, let alone today's leader, you won't even get any of the ten leaders, and then the face of the Yanbei Mansion and the princess will be lost by you. Oh, I forgot that the face of Yanbei Wangfu is still Jing Yuan, but the face of the princess is not easy to recover. You don't care, and neither does the princess? ”

Xiao Jinglin continued to stay still, she knew that Wu Yiyu said this to provoke her anger and make her lose control of her anger in front of the public, if she did what Wu Yiyu wanted, she would be so stupid that she would be helpless.

Although in her heart, Xiao Jinglin had silently greeted Wu Yiyu's ancestors one by one.

Wu Yiyu saw that no matter what she said, Xiao Jinglin didn't react at all, and couldn't help but feel a little regretful, but she was still in a good mood waiting to see the excitement.

Next, the ladies came forward to perform their talents in order of seating, and this time the seating was originally arranged according to the family background and status of the families, so no one had any opinions. However, the girls of the Ren family were taken to the higher order because they were specially taken care of by the princess, which made them excited. Everyone knows that the more you rank in front, the greater your chances of winning the championship.

After Wu Yiyu, it was Yun Qiuchen, the eldest lady of the Yun family, who appeared. However, Miss Yun had already won the top spot at the last daughter's banquet, and this time with Xiao Jinglin and them, Yun Qiuchen felt that she was just going through the motions, and she made a poem and retreated.

Su Fangfei, the eldest lady of the Su family, is also well-known for her talent and appearance, although she lost to Yun Qiuchen at the last daughter's banquet and won an example. This year, Miss Su performed two-handed calligraphy, and when everyone circulated it after writing, Ren Yaoqi also took a few looks, Miss Su's left-handed characters should have been practiced in the past two years, although it looked like it was a little less rhyme after all, but the right-hand characters were written well.
