It was Cao Jieyu and Li Wanyi who came, Cao Jieyu had been staying at home since she attended the banquet with Princess Jade on her birthday last time, so Xia Guiren felt that the woman in front of her who was sick-faced but still generous and decent was a little embarrassed.

Li Wanyi has always been at odds with Concubine Qing, so she can't look down on Xia Guiren, and when she saw her staring at Cao Jieyu, she said coldly: "Don't you even know Cao Jieyu, the biological mother of Princess Heyu?" What shallow ignorance! ”

Xia Guiren naturally wouldn't put a Wanyi in her eyes, but when she heard that this was Cao Jieyu in front of her, she heard Concubine Qing say that the emperor valued this Jieyu very much, so she had to restrain her anger and salute her hastily.

Cao Jieyu didn't care, she just smiled at Xianya and the others: "We are only here today to enjoy the flowers, don't worry about anything else, even if others don't invite us, let's just have fun ourselves." ”

Xianya not only had a good impression of her, but also swept away the previous unpleasantness, nodded and smiled at her.

When Concubine Pei saw Cao Jieyu coming, she came over and said with a smile: "Sister Cao is also here, but the sisters have given me face today, there are so many people, so I will order to set up a few more tables." ”

When she said this, Cao Jieyu was so bad that she couldn't excuse herself, so she asked Xianya and others to sit with her.

Halfway through the banquet, when she suddenly heard that the emperor had come, Concubine Pei was overjoyed and hurriedly led the crowd to welcome her. Everyone was happy on their faces, and they sorted out their makeup and clothes, and followed behind Concubine Pei to greet the holy driver.

"Did I come from here?" Xichen stood with his hands in his hands, with a smile on his lips, his eyes swept around, suddenly tightened, and then looked at Concubine Pei and the others, and asked in a brisk tone.

"It's a coincidence when the emperor comes." Concubine Pei replied shyly, she originally thought that the emperor would not come, but she didn't expect to appear at this time, so she was not surprised in her heart.

Shen Wan appeared silently behind Xichen as if she was a phantom, Xichen noticed that she glanced at her, she had a narrow smile on her lips, but she just bowed and stood.

"Your Majesty, please take a seat." Concubine Pei said attentively.

After settling down, the banquet continued, the sound of silk and bamboo rose, and the dancing girls danced. Although the atmosphere in the seat was more solemn than before, it was even more undercurrent. The concubines and concubines spoke wittily and smiled, each showing their grace, and tried their best to attract the emperor's attention.

Shen Wan watched coldly, and when she touched Xianya, she nodded slightly.

At this time, Cao Jieyu got up and said with a smile: "It's rare that the emperor's interest is so high today, the concubine has a proposal, I don't know if the emperor is willing to approve it." ”

Xichen looked at her with interest, suddenly looked at Li Wanyi again, and said with a smile: "Jieyu will always give me some surprises, but it doesn't hurt for you to say it." ”

Cao Jieyu looked at Shen Wan, and when she saw that Shen Wan was sure in her eyes, she said: "The concubine heard that Shen Shangyi played the pipa well, and she was fortunate to hear it once in the palace, which is really unforgettable. There are only a handful of people who play the pipa in the Northern Congress, and the concubines don't have this blessing on weekdays, so I wonder if Shang Yi is willing to play a song for us? ”

The emperor's face sank, and he was about to refute it, but he heard Shen Wan say: "I haven't played for a long time, so it's a little itchy, but I play it alone, it's cold, why don't you ask Li Wanyi to sing with me?" ”

Li Wanyi hurriedly covered her face with a fan, and said with a smile: "Shang Yi spare me, I can't keep up with your noisy pipa sound no matter what, so I don't have to frighten the emperor and the noble bodies of the sisters." ”

Xichen listened to her playfulness, smiled, and everyone covered their mouths and laughed.

Shen Wan deliberately muttered in a low voice behind Xichen: "Let me be ugly alone, I don't want to." ”

Xichen smiled at everyone: "There is no one here with superb skills, not to mention that he can be the right of Shangyi, and he can barely keep up." ”

There were a few little masters who originally wanted to give it a try, but when they heard the emperor say this, they knew that Shangyi's skills were very comparable, and they didn't dare to make a move.

Xichen was disappointed, he had only heard Shen Wan play the pipa once, and he was indeed unsatisfied, but if others didn't play together, she didn't want to, which was difficult.

"The concubine is not talented, and she is willing to give it a try." is the one who speaks, but it is Shangguan Xianya, who has always avoided favor!

Shen Wan seemed to know, not surprised.

On that day, she came out of Jingyi Palace after visiting the painting, and Xianya chased after her, she looked at herself and said firmly: "Awan, I want to accept the favor." ”

Shen Wan looked at her deeply and asked, "Have you thought it through?" ”

Xian Ya nodded seriously, Shen Wan sighed, and said, "Okay, no matter what decision you make, I will help you, when you avoided favor, I helped you hide it." Now that you are willing to accept the favor, then I will help you fight for it! ”

Shen Wan knew that her words would touch them, but she just wanted to revive the painting, but she didn't want to, and Xianya was inspired by this and decided to help her sisters and go hand in hand!

No matter what the reason for her avoidance of favor was in the first place, she is now willing to accept favor, and with her appearance and intelligence, she will definitely not lose to Fu Concubine!

Soon someone brought the guzheng and the pipa, and the two sat down, looked at each other, and both saw confidence and encouragement in each other's eyes.

As a result, the passionate pipa and the rich guzheng can also play a song of nature.

Everyone present listened with bated breath, for fear of missing a note.

When Xichen's gaze was fixed on Xianya, someone breathed a sigh of relief, and someone clenched his fists tightly.

Everyone was unaware of how the peony feast ended, and they were only immersed in the beautiful rhythm of the ensemble, but not everyone could not see the essence of the matter.

Concubine Pei walked up to Cao Jieyu angrily and said fiercely: "Jieyu is a good trick!" ”

Cao Jieyu asked unhurriedly: "What does Concubine Pei mean?" ”

"What do you mean? Hum! Don't you know what this palace means? ”

At this time, Concubine Qing also came over, this time she didn't do anything with Concubine Pei for the first time, and sneered at Cao Jieyu: "My sister is really used to making wedding dresses for her!" Say, glared at Li Wanyi fiercely, and left angrily.

Concubine Pei flicked her sleeves and turned to leave.

That night, he was fortunate to be elegant and elegant, and was named a concubine the next day, and was given the main position of Jingyi Palace.
