Her brother Ning Yan is still suffering at the border, why are they singing and dancing here!

Thinking of this, she glanced at Lu Xihe viciously. The latter was leisurely sipping tea.

Didn't the prince look at her differently?

"It's really boring to always watch singing and dancing, the county lord always feels that this dance is familiar, do you dance this dance when you meet people?"

The women who were dancing knelt on the ground one after another, "Back to the county lord, this dance is called "Guan Ju", which is specially prepared for today's banquet of the nobles, please ask the county lord to know it." ”

"Since everyone is tired, why don't you play a game?" Zhang Zhirou persuaded, "Why bother with them. Come, and take them down, and receive a reward, every one of them. ”

Ning You took a sip of wine and secretly observed Lu Xihe's expression.

Lu Xihe understood what they were thinking, so he just smiled.

It seems that this sister Zhang, who is famous in the capital, is concerned about the prince. No wonder lukewarm to others.

She subconsciously looked at Ning You, but she didn't want to collide with his gaze. was extremely embarrassed in an instant, but fortunately, she was in a good mood, nodded slightly, and looked away.

Zhang Zhirou smiled, "Why don't we play lots?" ”

When she said lots, she meant writing them down for everyone present, plus the talents to be displayed.

The county lord of Ankang hates these tricks the most, but she can't get used to Lu Xihe, so she has to continue to act no matter what.

"This is excellent, all the sisters must be talented, if there is anything inconvenient, let me know in advance, so as not to be unable to come to the stage later." The county lord of Ankang said and looked at Lu Xihe provocatively.

Lu Xihe smiled back, where did the hostility of the county lord of Ankang come from? She couldn't figure it out, but she didn't care. It's just a girl's trick. If she said that she was too lazy to care.

King Qing, the father of the lord of Ankang, angered the emperor not long ago because of his crimes of harboring corrupt officials and corrupt officials. Soon, the emperor will start to clean up King Qing.

His daughter-in-law not only did not know how to restrain herself, but as usual, she relied on her father to be the king of Qing and ran rampant and domineering everywhere.

"I heard that the county lord is proficient in the six arts, don't let us be allowed later." Zhang Lingyan, the third lady of the Zhang family, rolled up the handkerchief to cover her mouth and smiled. Who doesn't know that the lord of Ankang in the capital is a straw bale? Piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, not proficient in everything, my daughter's family dances with knives and sticks all day long.

"What does it have to do with you?" The county lord of Ankang replied unceremoniously, "A concubine dares to be presumptuous in front of the county lord!"

Zhang Lingyan knew that she had said the wrong thing, her face was slightly red, and she didn't know what to do for a while.

Zhang Zhirou thought she was ignorant, but she had to round the field for her. "County Lord, my little sister is young and ignorant, I hope the county lord doesn't take anything to heart. This cup, Rou'er respects the county lord. ”

She threw up her head and drank it down.

Ning You looked at them with a smile, still watching a play.

The county lord of Ankang snorted, his face was dissatisfied, but he still picked up a glass of wine, "This county lord has always had clear grievances, and there is no need for you to make amends for things that have nothing to do with you." She drank a glass of wine proudly and looked at Zhang Lingyan with her eyes.

Zhang Lingyan understood, thinking that many royal relatives and nobles present must not lose face.

"The lesson of the county lord is that Yan'er punishes herself with three cups, and I hope the county lord will forgive me." She got up and poured her wine, and raised her hand to drink.

"I'll drink it for you." A hand stopped in front of her.

"Brother Zhengnan, this little wine is not in the way." Zhang Lingyan insisted on drinking.

"Daughter's family, don't drink too much." The man refused.

Lu Xihe looked at everything in front of him with heavy eyes, and the person who came out to drink for Zhang Lingyan was Shen Zhengnan, the son of Shen Wei, the head of the household department.

Shen Zhengnan is dignified and an elegant and upright person.

Isn't Tobe Shangshu one of those who strongly opposes his father's return to Beijing?

Ning You noticed that her expression was slightly different, and when he saw Shen Zhengnan along her line of sight, he instantly understood.

"Since Brother Zhengnan wants to drink for this young lady, it's not impossible. As long as you drink this pot of autumn dew, the matter will be revealed. What does the county lord think? A smile rose at the corner of Ning You's mouth, and something flashed in his eyes.

"When the autumn dew is thick, the water is also, make a plate to harvest it, and make the wine name "autumn dew white", the taste is the most fragrant. Ning Heng's voice suddenly sounded, "Brother Zhengnan, the second brother's wine is not rewarding easily, you are blessed today." ”

The autumn dew white wine that passed through Ning You's hands was a strong wine, and since Shen Zhengnan wanted to come out, let him come out.

I didn't expect this prince to have such a bad taste.

I don't know why, every time I see Ning You today, Lu Xihe always feels as if he has seen Ning Yan.

Obviously, they had completely different temperaments at the beginning, why...

"That's good." The county lord of Ankang smirked.

Shen Zhengnan was not verbose, gritted his teeth and drank a whole pot of autumn dew.

Zhang Lingyan was so anxious that she was about to cry, and watched Shen Zhengnan drink for her with an aggrieved expression.

"What does the second brother think of this situation?" Ning Heng suddenly asked about Ning Youlai.

"Lang is just a concubine, and I'm too lazy to watch." Their voices were muffled by the music of the feast, and no one but them could hear them.

"I see, this Second Miss Zhang is very happy with the second brother." Ning Heng whispered, "Second brother really doesn't think about it?" ”

Ning You's hand that picked up the wine glass paused, and shook his head with a smile.

Over there, Zhang Zhirou has already led everyone to play the game of drawing lots, and the first person to be recruited is Nian Suqing, the second daughter of the Imperial Doctor's family.

Nian Suqing is young, but he is not stage frightened. She walked generously to the center, saluted the people on the seat, and the little ones put on the guqin.

Dressed in green, she sat confidently in front of the guqin.

With a pluck of the hand, the beautiful sound of the piano immediately passed through the entire pavilion. The song she played was the ancient song "Mountains and Flowing Water".

There are many people who learn this song, and there are even more people who can play this song. It's just that few people can play such a wanton and free charm, not to mention that she is still a woman.

At the end of the song, everyone was still immersed in her piano sound.

"Mountains and rivers are hard to find. The sound of the piano of the younger sister can actually touch people's hearts. Zhang Zhirou praised.

"Sister Zhang has won the prize." Nian Suqing said modestly.

The second round was about to begin, and Nian Suqing reached into the brocade box and took out a paper crane with care.

Zhang Zhirou opened the paper crane and said with a smile: "Sister Lu." ”

Lu Xihe got up when he heard this, "In this way, I will make a picture for everyone." ”

The maids hurriedly prepared the pen and paper, and she walked to the center and looked at the paper and thought for a moment.

"She can paint?" Ning Heng asked in disbelief.

Ning You looked at her intently, his eyes full of appreciation, "She will, but that's not all." ”

"How did the second brother know?" Ning Heng was surprised, thinking that it was good that he didn't tell Lu Xihe's fifth brother.

"I know more about her than anyone else." Ning You's words stirred up a thousand waves in Ning Heng's heart.

Could it be that they are carrying the fifth brother on their backs...

The more Ning Heng thought about it, the more angry he became, and it was difficult for the fifth brother to make a military order to his father for her, and now his life and death were uncertain. It's good that she has a relationship with the prince again, she is really a water-based poplar woman!

Lu Xihe put down his pen, and a freehand landscape map was presented in front of everyone.

"The hall is full of three thousand guests, and one sword is frosty and cold in fourteen states."

"Sister Lu is good at painting, it's really a stroke of genius." Zhang Zhirou was full of praise.

"Miss Lu's paintings, I like them very much." Ning You opened his mouth and said, his eyes were a little gentle, "I don't know if I can give it to Lone?" ”

Zhang Zhirou's smile froze, and Fu immediately regained her smile, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a good eye." Sister Lu's painting skills are indeed different from ordinary people. ”

"Naturally..."Before Lu Xihe's words fell, Ning Heng suddenly strode over, snatched the painting, looked at it again and again, and looked at them suspiciously.

"I also like this painting very much, second brother let it be given to me." Ning Heng didn't say a word, picked up the painting and returned to his seat.

Lu Xihe was shocked by his actions, and the others were also confused.

"Since the seventh brother likes it, Lone has no choice but to cut his love." Ning You still had a little smile, and his eyes looked at Ning Heng as always.

"Next time, Lone won't let you mess around." Ning You's voice was not loud, but it made people shiver for no reason.

Zhang Zhirou diverted the topic and said: "Sister Lu's skills are amazing, I don't know what surprises the next one will bring us?" ”

She ordered someone to present the brocade box, and Lu Xihe reached in and took a paper crane out casually.

Zhang Zhirou opened it and looked at it, and a smile instantly spread, "Lord Ankang." ”

The face of the county lord of Ankang was red and white for a while, this Zhang Zhirou really wrote herself in!

Catching a glimpse of Lu Xihe's indifferent appearance, she was even more angry, it must have been deliberate by this slut!

"Fetch my sword." The lord of Ankang raised his chin, they wanted to see their jokes, but she didn't!

"The county lord wants to offer a sword dance?" Ning Heng hesitated.

If the sword dance does not have many years of martial arts foundation, it will not be able to dance the essence.

"Yes, let me change my clothes and come back."

Ning You nodded, and she walked out of the pavilion in a hurry.

When Lu Xihe was watching, he saw a familiar figure in the afterglow.

"Big brother?"

I saw Lu Yiran wearing a dark blue Yunxiang talisman bat pattern suit, his eyebrows and eyes were full of coldness, and he only eased slightly when his eyes touched her.

Ning You gradually stopped talking, his eyes were attracted by the visitor, it was him...

It's like that.

Lu Yiran approached, "See His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the Seventh Prince." ”

Ning You said with a smile: "Lord Lu is really good Yaxing, hurry up and be polite." ”

Ning Heng seemed to be stunned, looking at Lu Yiran and unable to say a word.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said with a smile, he was busy with official business a few days ago, and he really couldn't get out." Lu Yiran said politely.

"Lord Lu is a step late, and the painting made by Ling Mei has been snatched away by Lao Qi."

Ning You quipped.

"Ruan Ruan's painting skills are average, which makes the prince smile." Lu Yiran looked back at Lu Xihe, and she hurriedly lowered her head.

"Lord Lu is her own brother, the seventh, let Lord Lu take a look."

Ning Heng reluctantly unfolded the painting and exclaimed, "How can this be! ”

I saw that the paint on the painting was blurred, and the paper was black, white, and white, and I couldn't see the original appearance clearly.

"Old Seven, why are you so careless, it's a pity that Miss Lu's painting is a pity." Ning You was quite sorry, and when the painting was not dry, it was snatched away by Ning Heng and hurriedly put away. Blurring is inevitable, and it's a pity to have such a meaningful painting.

"It's okay, it's just a painting." Lu Yiran's voice was already cold.

Ning Heng drooped his head, looking like he had done something wrong.

He originally wanted to leave this painting to the fifth brother, but now it's good, it's all over.
