In the banquet hall, the emperor and Concubine Shu were already sitting on the main seat, most of the officials had arrived, and Shi Qingqian and his party walked over with the young ladies and sons who came in.

"Why! Come and sit! Shi Ke called her on the side, and Shi Qingqian immediately trotted and sat down.

As soon as she sat down, another person sat beside her, and when she turned her head to look, she realized that it was Shen Shu with a serious face.

"Little prince, are you sitting with me again?" Shi Qingqian couldn't wait to go to a pastry on the table and stuffed it into his mouth.

Shen Shu's face did not change, and said indifferently: "There is no place, I can only come." ”

Shi Qingqian looked at the empty seat in front of him, and still said cooperatively: "Okay, okay, then I will wronged the little prince." Where Shen Shu couldn't see, she rolled her eyes with a smile.

When the banquet first started, he naturally wanted to listen to what the emperor had to say, but Shi Qingqian couldn't listen to it, thinking that this was the same as the appearance of the principal during the opening ceremony, so he just buried his head in eating pastries.

I don't know how long it took, Shi Qingqian suddenly heard the words 'Jiang Yuhua', and she came back to her senses.

"I heard that the second lady of the Jiang family went out for a year to learn skills, and I have been looking forward to it for a long time." Emperor Shen Lun sat in the center and said with a smile, "I wonder if I can see this fairy-like dance today?" ”

"Since the emperor wants to see it, the courtiers have no choice but to sacrifice ugliness." Jiang Yuhua, who was sitting below, picked up her skirt, stood up and walked to the center of the banquet hall, "I just don't know if there is a person who accompanies the music, and the courtiers are always boring when they dance." ”

Since it is a banquet hall, there must be musicians, the emperor said so, but he didn't expect Concubine Shu to suddenly speak: "The musicians in the palace have the best skills, but they are all banquet and drinking songs, and the style of the dance is not in line with Hua'er's dance, so it is inevitable that there will be some incongruity." ”

"Then, according to what Concubine Ai said, what should it be?"

Shen Lun has already doted on Concubine Shu, and today he is even more obedient to her.

"Why don't you just find the sons present, which one can play the tune? The sons are all literary and martial, and the music they play must also be the sound of mountains and flowing water. Concubine Shu searched the banquet hall with her eyes, and suddenly remembered something, and her eyes lit up, "Hey? The concubine remembers that Shen Xiaowangye's flute sound is the best in the world, I don't know if Shen Xiaowangye can have Yaxing and sing a song for Hua'er? ”

Shi Qingqian was confused, why did Concubine Shu start to take the initiative to provoke Shen Shu? also asked Shen Shu to accompany Jiang Yuhua.

"In this matter, I have to ask Shu'er if he is willing," Shen Lun looked at Shen Shu with a sad face, but he still looked at Shen Shu, and the taste in his eyes was clearly asking him to play a song, "Shu'er's flute has always been hard to find, I wonder if you are willing to play a song for everyone today?" ”

Shen Shu was naturally unwilling.

At the longevity banquet a few years ago, he did play the flute well for Shi Qingqian, but if he wanted to play a Jiang Yuhua accompaniment, he felt that it was a great shame.

"Back to the emperor, the minister didn't bring the jade flute today, I'm afraid I won't be able to get my wish." Shen Shu bowed and said.

"This ...... The courtiers are ready," Jiang Yuhua had long expected that Shen Shu would shirk like this, before returning to the palace, she prepared a good jade flute, just waiting for Shen Shu to say this, she clapped her hands, and the maid walked up with a box in her hand, "With the musical instrument, Shen Xiaowang can blow it away for everyone to satisfy our thoughts." ”

Shen Shu's face darkened.

It turns out that he has had this strategy for a long time, and he has calculated himself.

But the jade flute was already in front of him, and if he insisted on refusing, he would definitely make a fuss.

He suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind, took the jade flute, and turned it in his hand a few times, "Since this is the case, the minister will be ugly." ”

Shi Qingqian watched Shen Shu leave from his side, and caught a glimpse of Jiang Yuhua's provocative eyes when he looked at him, and he was immediately very unhappy in his heart. Looking at Shen Shu standing beside Jiang Yuhua, he always felt that his heart was so sour.

"Little prince, please." Jiang Yuhua stopped saying and began to twist his waist.

Shen Shu also put the jade flute next to his lips and played it gently.

It's just that......

The sound made in the flute, seven up and eight down, is not a tune, and the tune is not in tune. Not only that, but he also vomited and mocked, which made people get goosebumps all over his body.

Jiang Yuhua was in such a 'tune', and his dance steps were naturally messed up, and he didn't pay attention to it, and fell to the ground with a 'poof'.

Shen Shu stopped at this time.

"Your Majesty, this flute minister is really not used to it, and ......" He glanced at Jiang Yuhua lying on the ground in disgust, "The minister has never accompanied the dancer to a song, and if there is no song in his heart, he can't play it." ”

When Jiang Yuhua heard this, he immediately became angry.

At the beginning, he took the initiative to ask for Shi Qingqian to be accompanied by music, but now he asks her to accompany him, but he has become what he calls a 'dancing girl'!? This Shen Shu is clearly deliberately insulting himself!

"Okay, okay, in that case, I can't force Shu'er," Shen Lun's love for Shen Shu is so deep, such a small thing is naturally dependent on him, "Look at this trouble, I see, you don't dance anymore." ”

Shen Shu walked in front of him without squinting, and Jiang Yuhua got up in embarrassment.

Her face had already turned extremely red from the ugly appearance, and she returned to her seat in a daze.

She originally asked Concubine Shu to help promote the cooperation between the two, and when the song was over, she could propose the engagement smoothly, she thought that with the emperor's favor for her sister, she could completely make him agree. But he never thought that Shen Shu would ruin everything at the beginning!

Seeing that Shen Shu sat back next to him, Shi Qingqian pouted and asked, "You did it on purpose?" ”

"Hmm." Shen Shu did not shy away from it, and nodded directly in acknowledgement.

Inexplicably, Shi Qingqian had a sense of pride in his heart, and he had to say that Shen Shu's approach was really enough to save face. The arrogant Jiang Yuhua should also let her taste the taste of slapping her face!

Not long after the dinner, Jiang Yuhua withdrew under the pretext of being unwell.

As soon as she left the confines of the banquet hall, she dodged into a small path.

"Yang Yi! How's things going? ”

There was a woman standing in the path, it was Yang Yi, who was 'married' to a slave of Jiang Mansion by Shi Qingqian a year ago, and she was wearing the clothes of a maid of Jiang Mansion and was standing against the wall. Hearing Jiang Yuhua's voice, he hurriedly stood up.

"Miss, don't worry, the slaves I found were all acquainted when I was in the Hou Mansion, and they said that as long as Miss gave them the promised money after the matter was completed, they would serve you, Miss."

"Hmph," Jiang Yuhua snorted coldly, money is the most effective and powerful thing in the world, "Have you conveyed all the words I said?" ”

"It was natural." Yang Yi saluted and said, "The slave really admires Miss for being able to think of such a clever plan in such a short time." ”

If you compliment, Jiang Yuhua didn't want to hear it for a long time. But she doesn't deny that the ploy is definitely a good one.

Thinking about it, Jiang Yuhua's fingers were pinched by her and 'clicked'. When she thought of Shi Qingqian's kneeling and begging for mercy, she couldn't stop laughing!
