Pei Yuan picked up a glass of wine in front of him, but instead of drinking it himself, he sent it to Pei Hao's mouth: "This wine is good, don't you taste it?" ”

Pei Hao shook his head, stretched out his hand and brought the cup over, but he couldn't help but say, "You have to go crazy if you go on like this." ”

Pei Yuan just smiled, took another cup to drink, and hid a smile well.

Towards the end of the banquet, it is time for the families to perform, which is one of the programs that must be present at the Mid-Autumn Festival and Chinese New Year's Eve banquets in previous years, in addition to entertainment for everyone to enjoy, it is also a good time for each family to show their talents.

If you can get the first prize at this banquet, the rewards in the palace are all first-class and good, and these performances are generally girls who have not left the cabinet, even if they don't go for those rewards, just for fame, it is worth fighting.

In the past, Shen Jiahe was also in the limelight on this kind of show, and her reputation as a talented woman also spread out in the palace at that time, which was also one of the reasons why the queen mother and the queen fell in love with her, so that they tried their best to promote her marriage with King Kang.

This time, not only were all the emperor's princes present, but also two princes who had never married a wife were also there, Shen Jiahe glanced at the daughters who had not yet come out of the cabinet and were all gearing up, and felt a little funny for a while.

A few girls behind him whispered about the single man on the field, Shen Jiahe listened to it, but he didn't expect that the central figure of their topic was Pei Yuan.

Since the last time someone in the court proposed that King Xian could be the heir, the officials of various families have now looked at Pei Yuan with more scrutiny, if Pei Shu has been so unmotivated, Pei Yuan is very likely to succeed to the throne.

Even if these factors are not taken into account, with the reputation of King Xian in the capital and his ability in the court, he is also very appreciated by various officials.

Coupled with such a handsome face that everyone is angry with, it is very normal to be favored by the daughters of various families, but this makes Shen Jiahe feel very unhappy.

Looking at the girls who were gluing their eyes to Pei Yuan, Shen Jiahe couldn't help but press the short blade hidden in her chest, she silently pinched her palm, and suppressed the urge to gouge out the eyes of these girls.

But she still felt very bored in her heart, very unpleasant, and she was not even in the mood to appreciate the performances of the daughters of various families.

It wasn't until the county lord of Xiangyi came to the stage to play a pipa that Shen Jiahe took back his thoughts, and it wasn't until the end of the song that Shen Jiahe shook his head silently when there was a cheer around.

This kind of piano technique also deserves applause? In Shen Jiahe's opinion, it is not as good as the girl in the Qinglou.

Shen Jiahe silently ate a stack of snacks in front of him, but he didn't expect the county lord of Xiangyi to not step down, but stood directly on the stage and shouted to her: "Before Miss Shen came out of the cabinet, the reputation of a talented girl spread all over the capital, and I want to come to the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are not bad, in this case, it is better to compete with the county lord, so that everyone can see that your reputation is worthy." ”

Pulling people to try to poke people's feet even more, Yao Xinrou pulled Shen Jiahe's sleeve: "Don't pay attention to this madman." ”

Shen Jiahe nodded, because she was already unhappy with Pei Yuan's matter, she didn't want to compete with this Xiangyi county lord at all, and was about to refuse, but the Xiangyi county lord didn't give her a chance to speak at all.

She turned her head to look at her brothers, blinked and smiled: "The brothers said that the Shen family's girl's piano skills are good, or is my sister's piano skills good?" ”

One of them understood and immediately smiled: "Then it must be a competition to know, Miss Shen didn't dare to accept the recruit because she was afraid of the Xiangyi County Lord, if she really didn't dare, then it was okay to admit defeat directly, ahahaha......"

"Maybe the reputation of this talented woman is also sealed by herself, otherwise why don't you even dare to go on the stage, but just play a pipa, even if you lose, what's the matter, you won't dare to come up." The second prince changed his clothes early, and he would have a chance, how could he not step on it.

The dark light in the queen's eyes flashed, and then she slowly spoke: "It's just for fun, if Miss Shen really feels embarrassed, then forget it, you don't have to coax." ”

It looked like she was breaking the siege, but this made Shen Jiahe even more unable to refuse easily, Pei Yuan glanced at the queen coldly, which made her can't help but shrink back.

But the words have already been spoken, and the queen naturally won't take it back, only sorted out her emotions a little, and then turned her head to look at Shen Jiahe, avoiding Pei Yuan's eyes.

Shen Jiahe has been looking at the county lord of Xiangyi coldly, her eyes are too solemn, like a short blade piercing the other party's heart, the county lord of Xiangyi couldn't help but take a step back, stumbled a little, fortunately, the palace maid next to her helped quickly, so she didn't step on the corner of her skirt and fell down.

Shen Jiahe stood up and calmly walked up to the high platform facing everyone, she reached out and took her pipa directly from Xiangyi's hand, her voice was extremely cold on this full moon night: "Since the county lord insists, then I'll give it a try." ”

The other party's aura was too strong, which made her, the county lord, feel afraid, and couldn't help but regret making such a provocative gesture, but the person was already standing here, and there was no regret medicine to take, so the county lord of Xiangyi had no choice but to walk down with the palace maid.

Before she went on stage, she thought about which tune she wanted to play, and she was not familiar with the tunes of this era at all, so she picked a modern song "Ambush on All Sides".

This will be the pipa in his arms, but after a little adjustment of two notes, he began to enter the state, this song is a song that describes the decisive battle between the two kings of Chu and Han, Shen Jiahe didn't know if they knew this allusion, but she only played the first two parts.

The eve of the first part depicts the point general before the expedition, and the second part is the part where the two armies face off and begin to fight to the death, this song is not only open and closed, but also very much in line with Shen Jiahe's state of mind at this time.

The tune ranges from slow to fast, from mild to intense, making everyone listening to the scene seem to have experienced a bloody battle, until the last note falls, and it still makes people feel unfinished.

Compared with the glamorous sound of the county lord of Xiangyi, of course, this kind of passionate and sweaty song can touch people's heartstrings more, and there are two generals sitting at the banquet, and their wives even have red eyes at the end of the song.

Shen Jiahe slowly stood up holding the pipa, and the previous mood of wanting to gouge out people's eyeballs had all dissipated with the sound of the piano.

She looked at the emperor and queen at the top, blessed her body, and the emperor seemed to have just come to her senses, and took the lead in clapping her hands after a long time.

There is no need to say it, Shen Jiahe's pipa memory is much more than that of the Xiangyi County Lord, the Xiangyi County Lord looked at Shen Jiahe on the stage, his eyes were red, and her proudest pipa skills actually made Shen Jiahe suppress nothing left.

A little palace maid next to her whispered comfortingly: "Even if she plays well, the selection will be selected by everyone later, and with the identity of the county lord, these people don't want to tie up the county lord." ”

Lord Xiangyi took a deep breath, and then pulled the corners of her mouth, she knew in her heart that she was not as good as Shen Jiahe, but so what, many times in this world, power is higher than everything.

Shen Jiahe walked all the way down the stairs, the moon-white skirt was carried up by the breeze, as if she was going to fly to the Moon Palace, Pei Shu looked at Shen Jiahe like this, and his heart was already dripping blood with remorse.

How stupid is he to choose to let go of such a piece of jade, if he can do it all over again...... Pei Shu looked away and couldn't bear to look at it anymore, he knew clearly in his heart that there would be no chance to do it again.

"The daughters of each family have performed, and the families will start to select." After Shen Jiahe left the stage and sat back in his place, the emperor sat on the top and said with a smile.

A group of people whispered together to communicate, and everyone with a discerning eye knew that the girls of the Shen family were more skilled, but Xiangyi was the lord of the county after all, if she lost face, then I am afraid that it would be difficult to explain in front of the queen in the future, and everyone was a little hesitant for a while.

Pei Yuan looked at everyone's eyes and patrolled back and forth between Shen Jiahe and Xiangyi, and directly stood up and said to the emperor: "The Shen family's girl's pipa should be the best tonight, and the younger brother thinks it deserves to be the first."

Mrs. Gu also stood up at this time and said with a smile: "I have the same opinion as Lord Xian, Miss Shen's music even makes me feel like I have returned to the years of Jin Ge Iron Horse, I didn't expect a girl's family to have such an open state of mind, it is really rare." ”

As soon as King Xian opened his mouth, Mrs. Gu echoed him, so that other people no longer had scruples, and praised Shen Jiahe's first-class piano skills, and he deserved to win the first place today.

The queen was unhappy, but she still congratulated Shen Jiahe with a smile: "The girl of the Shen family is eye-catching today, and the reward that the emperor has prepared a long time ago is not ready to reward Miss Shen." ”

The emperor waved his hand to summon the chief steward beside him, and motioned him to go and bring up the reward he had prepared in advance, and everyone saw the chief steward go and return, holding a gold lacquer box in his hand.

Shen Jiahe stepped forward to take the box in the hands of the chief manager, and a group of people around him hurriedly surrounded him, and coaxed one after another: "Open it quickly and let us see what good things are." ”

Shen Jiahe opened the box, and everyone gasped, although they were used to seeing a lot of good things, but the treasures in this box still made them feel amazing.

Shen Jiahe didn't care about the treasure at all, and when everyone was staring at the box in her hand, her eyes passed through the layers of crowds and looked at the daughters who were still staring at Pei Yuan, and then the feeling of boredom in her heart came out again.

Pei Yuan's gaze has not been removed from Shen Jiahe since he sat down in the main hall, but she didn't know, and at this time, she looked at her with an unhappy look, and frowned slightly.

At the end of the banquet, the emperor proposed to let Shen Jiahe play another song, Shen Jiahe remembered that the original owner had composed a pipa song by himself before, so he picked a song in his memory and played it, and at the end of the song, he only told everyone that he had composed a song, but it was never shown in front of others.

But Pei Shu felt that he had heard this song, but it was definitely not played by Shen Jiahe for him, and his fingers clenched slightly for a while.
