A variety of delicate dishes accompanied by mellow wine were constantly served, and the sound of silk and bamboo flowed from the musicians in the corner, and a luxurious and domineering imperial banquet began.

"Third brother, I heard that you saved Qin Zixin, the daughter of Prime Minister Qin Huai, today?" Xue Lingqi asked Xue Lingjing next to him, and smiled after seeing the small figure.

"Oh? Unexpectedly, the fifth brother was also interested in this matter? Xue Lingjing quietly drank the wine in his cup.

"Ling Qi just felt that the Qin girl seemed to be different from other girls, she actually said today, 'The heavens will descend on the people, and they must first suffer their minds, strain their muscles and bones, starve their bodies and skin, empty their bodies, and act chaotically, so they are tempted to endure and benefit from what they can't.' Such a remark is really an interesting woman. ”

Xue Lingqi couldn't help but be more curious when she said, who could have such an opinion.

"No matter what, it's just a woman," Xue Lingjing's eyes flashed with a hint of invisible emotion after hearing this, and said indifferently.

Looking at the exquisite dishes in front of him, Qin Zixin couldn't help but feast on it. When he was eating happily, he suddenly felt a strong gaze, and when he raised his eyes, he looked at the third prince, Xue Lingjing, who looked at him with a smile, and almost choked without paying attention.

Qin Zixin swallowed the food in his mouth and smiled unnaturally.

"Your Majesty, the minister has always heard that Lord Liu's daughter's song is known as 'this song should only be in heaven, and it is rare to hear it in the world', why don't you ask her to play a song?"

The Ministry of Rites Shangshu saw that Xue Lingxiao did not have the slightest intention of choosing a concubine, and couldn't help but recommend the daughter of the imperial doctor first, so that his daughter would have the opportunity to show her style in front of the emperor.

"Liu Aiqing, if this is the case, Ling Ai will present a song for this banquet", Xue Lingxiao said lightly. And Su Xue'er beside her, I saw that her smiling face had changed slightly.

"Good tune." Qin Zixin also put down the chopsticks in his hand and listened carefully. The sound of the piano rippled, and it was even more brilliant than the previous musician's performance.

Qin Huai looked at his daughter beside him, and his thoughts began to complicate, was Su Yuan's old fox sending his daughter into the palace really just to consolidate his position in the court?

"Good!" At the end of the song, Qin Zixin couldn't help but applaud, but something was wrong with the applause of only her in the entire banquet.

"Oh no" Qin Zixin whispered, she seemed to have forgotten the occasion.

"Please forgive the emperor, it is the old minister's negligence in discipline on weekdays. Rebel, don't kneel down yet! ”

Seeing that her usually well-behaved and timid daughter had done so many actions that violated the law of etiquette today, Qin Huai began to wonder if the kidnapping during the day had scared her into illness?

"Yes!" Qin Zixin couldn't help but regret his recklessness when he saw Qin Huai's nervous appearance, this is a feudal society.

"In this case, Prime Minister Zuo's daughter might as well dedicate her talents to everyone here as an atonement, what do you think, Your Majesty?"

The fifth prince, Xue Lingqi, got up and said, this interesting person, is it because Zuo Xiang is spoiled on weekdays, and see how she copes.

"Fifth prince, I'm afraid that this is inappropriate, the little girl has been weak since she was a child, and she has not learned any talents."

Qin Huai looked at Xue Lingqi, who was full of interest, and couldn't help but cry bitterly in his heart, his daughter didn't know anything.

"Prime Minister Zuo, you are modest, how can Ling Qianjin, as the daughter of the prime minister, not have any talent?"

Su Yuan couldn't help but deliberately make things difficult when he saw Qin Huai's resignation, and it was expected that one of his sick daughters of Qin Huai would not be able to offer any talents.

"Prime Minister Zuo, I will allow your daughter to use art to atone for her crimes." After Xue Lingxiao was shocked by Qin Zixin's "good", he couldn't help but want to see if this woman was really ignorant or pretentious, could it be that Prime Minister Zuo did it on purpose.

"Father, I'll go." If it is a talent, Qin Zixin can only dance classical dance and Chinese painting, and the rest will not be, thinking that the original Qin Zixin is too weak to have the conditions to study.

"Purple heart, don't force it", Qin Huai still didn't feel at ease, didn't he know what his daughter would do.

"Father, don't worry", Qin Zixin got up from the ground and said, after she gave Qin Huai a reassuring smile, she walked towards the open space in the center.

"Your Majesty, the courtiers have a small request, I hope the emperor will approve it", Qin Zixin looked at the person who was on top, and Su Xue'er beside him looked at Qin Zixin in great surprise.

"What request, you say", Xue Lingxiao instantly became interested.

"The courtier wants a piece of white silk six feet long and wide, and half a basin of ink as a prop."

After Qin Zixin finished speaking carefully, everyone whispered in harmony with the people next to her after hearing her request, only the third prince, Xue Lingjing, seemed not to see all this, and drank the wine in the cup indifferently.

"Interesting people, don't disappoint." The fifth prince, Xue Lingqi, looked at Qin Zixin in the center of the venue with a playful expression.
