Although it was expected, Li Chulian was so excited that her face turned red, she was selected by the queen to be the first to perform, what a great honor it is! This is something that no one else wants, after all, not everyone is the niece of the queen's mother!

Li Chulian glanced at the girls present with pride and disdain, stood up, blessed her body, and said: "Queen Qiyu, the courtiers have been practicing their piano skills hard for the past year, and the master who taught the courtiers' piano skills said that the courtiers' piano skills have now been better than the blue, and they have reached the realm of supernatural transformation. ”

Hearing this, Cheng Xi almost squirted out all the tea he drank into his mouth, but he finally held back.

This Li Chulian is really unashamed, she doesn't know what "modesty" is, doesn't she know that there are mountains outside the mountains and there are heavens outside the sky?

The girls also burst into a burst of snickering, and they all covered their faces with handkerchiefs to hide their smiling faces.

When the emperor heard this, he only said in his heart, this daughter really doesn't know the height of the sky! He sneered in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, so as not to sweep away the interest of so many boys and girls present, he just hoped that his son's eyes would be better, and he would not look at such a thing.

He said calmly, "Really? Then I and all of you here are blessed with ears. Miss Li, what kind of tune are you playing today? ”

The queen mother just heard that Li Chulian said such arrogant and ignorant words, and a burst of blood rushed to her head, and she was extremely angry, but when she saw that the emperor was not angry, she put her mind at ease, but she knew very well in her heart that the emperor did not go crazy in public, but gave herself a lot of face.

She stared at Li Chulian with hatred, this girl was spoiled by her brother and sister-in-law so much that she didn't know how thick the sky was, she was so pampered and arrogant, it was difficult to become a big thing, I was afraid that it would ruin the big things for herself and the emperor.

"Your Majesty, the song played by the courtiers today is called "Three Alleys of Plum Blossoms", this song is exquisite, showing the perseverance of plum blossoms standing proudly in the cold wind." Li Chulian said triumphantly.

When the queen mother heard her say this, her face looked a lot better, and she thought, this girl is not too brainless, knowing that the emperor likes the noble quality of plum blossoms and frost and snow, and knows what she likes, I hope she can perform well later, and let the emperor point her to the prince of the Protector's Mansion.

Before, after the queen heard that the prince of the Protectorate Mansion and Miss Cheng had withdrawn, she persuaded the emperor to marry Li Chulian to the prince of the Protector's Mansion, but the emperor said that the prince was his most proud nephew, and he must be matched with a good woman.

Cheng Xi supported her chin with her hand and looked at Li Chulian with a smile, she wanted to see if this Li Chulian had just boasted about Haikou like that, was there really real talent and real learning?

Li Chulian took the piano handed over by the eunuch behind her, put it on the case in front of her, and swept it proudly at the girls, her eyes were on Cheng Xi's smiling eyes.

Obviously, Cheng Xi's eyes only had exploration and curiosity, but I don't know why, in her eyes, it turned into mockery and sarcasm!

Probably this is the performance of Li Chulian's lack of self-confidence, at last year's Hundred Flowers Feast, Cheng Xi's piano skills were very outstanding, winning the emperor's appreciation and the favor of the prince of the Protector's Mansion.

It's just that she doesn't think Cheng Xi plays well, she thinks she just has a foxy face to win.

Hum! Cheng Xi has been disfigured this year, can she still win against herself? Why did she laugh at herself like that? Nor does that look in the mirror to see how ugly she is!

This year, she Li Chulian will definitely be able to win her, after Cheng Xi was disfigured, she once sent someone to inquire, I heard that Cheng Xi felt sorry for herself, and she didn't practice the piano anymore, if she wanted to say this piano skill, but she relied on practice, if she didn't play for a few days, her hands would be rusty, ha, God really helped me, I want her to reveal her true form, and she will smile generously.

Thinking of this, Li Chulian smiled contemptuously at Cheng Xi, stood up, bowed to the emperor, and said: "Your Majesty, the courtiers remember that Miss Cheng's piano sound was also very beautiful last year, and the courtiers dared to compete with Miss Cheng. ”

Anyone who participated in the Hundred Flowers Feast last year knows how exquisite Miss Cheng's piano skills are, this Li Chulian actually wants to compare her piano skills, is it true that Li Chulian has practiced hard for a year and has made leaps and bounds in piano skills?

Cheng Xi looked at Li Chulian's ill-intentioned eyes, and thought, this girl is really a little smart, after Cheng Xi was disfigured, she was disheartened, and she didn't bother to practice any piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, presumably this girl heard about this, so she wanted to compare her piano skills with herself, right?

However, this girl really thinks she is a bully! She traveled here, not only has Cheng Xi's skills, but also has Qin Chenxi's skills, when she entered the Showa Hall just now, she saw a piano on top of the hall at a glance.

At that time, she was very surprised, what kind of dynasty was this, there was a piano!

These days, what I have observed, as well as what I have learned from the general's father, brother and Qing'er, the people in this place do not know Li Bai, Du Fu, Bai Juyi, nor Su Dongpo and Xin Qiji...... She also thought that this was a dynasty that was not recorded in a modern history book before the Tang Dynasty, but there was a piano here, so it seems that this dynasty is not as far away from modern times as the Tang and Song dynasties!

However, no matter what dynasty it is, this piano has really helped her a lot!

The emperor listened to Li Chulian's words and looked at Cheng Xi, but inadvertently found that his precious Seventh Prince was looking at Cheng Xi, his heart moved, and he said to Cheng Xi gently: "Miss Cheng, Miss Li wants to test her piano skills with you, are you willing?" ”

Cheng Xi blinked, she came today to win back her reputation for Cheng Xi and General Cheng's Mansion, how could she miss this opportunity to show herself well?

Moreover, she looked at the piano, this was still her chance to test whether that King Qin was her fellow countryman! Her gaze withdrew from the piano and inadvertently bumped into King Qin's gaze, and King Qin actually looked at herself!

"What? Ugly...... Miss Cheng, if you don't dare to compete with me, say loudly in public: I lost! This girl will not embarrass you and let you make an ugly sacrifice in front of the emperor and everyone. Seeing that Cheng Xi hadn't spoken for a long time, Li Chulian thought that she was empty-hearted, and said with contempt.

Cheng Xi didn't even look at her, smiled at the emperor, stood up, his voice was crisp and pleasant, and said: "Your Majesty, this kind of piano skills, last year's courtiers have already tried to compete with Miss Li, who won and lost at that time, I think everyone still remembers it very clearly, this year's competition, it is too boring, the courtiers are very interested in the piano over there." ”

The emperor looked in the direction pointed by Cheng Xi, and saw the piano, which the seventh prince brought back to the palace this time, saying that it was called a piano, but no one in the palace could play it, and the pianist in the capital also said that he had never seen such a piano.

Afterwards, the Seventh Prince said, half-jokingly, half-seriously, that if any woman could play a piece of music that satisfied him with the piano, he could consider marrying her as a concubine.

The emperor looked at Cheng Xi and remembered that he had inadvertently found that the eyes of the Seventh Prince had been on Cheng Xi's body just now, and he already had an idea in his heart.

"Does Miss Cheng play the piano?" The emperor asked, and the eyes that looked at her changed, becoming a kind of elegant eyes, a kind of eyes that a prospective father-in-law looked at his daughter-in-law.

"The courtiers are not talented, they know a little bit about it, if the emperor does not dislike it, the courtiers want to use this piano to compete with Miss Li's piano." Cheng Xi said very modestly, which was in stark contrast to Li Chulian's appearance of no one in her eyes just now.

Everyone looked at Cheng Xi with surprise and appreciation, I am afraid that the "I know a little bit or two" in her mouth is slightly better than the "superb" that someone said!

Everyone looked at the emperor expectantly, hoping that he would nod his head in agreement, so that they could enjoy the sound of the piano that they had never seen before.

And King Qin's gaze at Cheng Xi was even sharper, he had been having the same dream, the girl in the dream was wearing a green dress and playing a beautiful tune, but the qin was not here. Later, when he accidentally saw such a piano, the owner of the piano said that it was called a piano, so he bought it at a high price, and then he kept looking for the girl who could play the piano.

This time I brought it back to the palace, but I also wanted to use the power of my father to find it, but I didn't expect that there was really someone who could play the piano in this feast of flowers, and this person was Miss Cheng!

His heart was pounding, he was extremely nervous and extremely expectant!

The emperor touched his beard and said, "I'm afraid everyone here doesn't know yet, right?" This piano is indeed called the piano, it was brought back to the palace by the Seven Princes, no one in the palace and the pianist in the capital can play, and it has always been there as a decoration. ”

Li Chulian heard that the emperor actually agreed, and saw Cheng Xi's confident appearance, she was a little panicked, could it be that ugly monster really could play that strange piano?

No one can play that strange piano, and everyone will find it novel, even if the ugly monster doesn't play it well, everyone will favor the ugly one because of the novelty. No, she has to find a way to make the emperor take back her fate.

Li Chulian blessed the emperor and said: "Your Majesty, these are two completely different musical instruments, I don't know how to tell who wins and who loses?" ”

"Whoever has the more beautiful sound wins!" The emperor said.

"But how can you tell whose piano has the better sound?" Li Chulian still asked without giving up.

The emperor was already a little dissatisfied with Li Chulian because of her big words, and she was still talking like this at this time, which made him even more angry, if it weren't for the fact that she was the queen's niece, he would have wanted to drive her out, "Miss Li, I will judge myself, don't you have no confidence in yourself?" Didn't you just say that your piano skills have reached the level of superb, what are you worried about? ”
