Chapter 238: Luring Her to the Bait
The second competition was a piano test, and Han Xi was still present.
Chen Manman stared at Han Xi on the stage, his eyes were round, and he spewed out a raging fire, "No wonder I was so vicious to my cousin, it turned out that I wanted to marry into the heavenly family." ”
No matter how dull she is, she can see Han Xi's calculations at this moment.
Xiao Lingwei is thinking that the Zhenguo Mansion is already a party of the five princes on the surface, and now she wants to marry the six princes, is it the five princes who instructed to win over the six princes, or the two sides of the Zhenguo Mansion are betting, and in the end, who will be supported depending on its chances of winning?
No matter what the Zhenguo Mansion plans, she will not let Han Tong get her way.
Xiao Lingwei stabbed Chen Manman with her hand, "Do you want to see her defeated?" ”
Chen Manman blurted out, "Yes, of course I want to." ”
Xiao Ling stood up slightly, "Manman, accompany me to change clothes." ”
Yang Huijun and Second Mrs. Chen looked at it at the same time.
Chen Manman hesitated for a moment, then got up, "Oh, okay." ”
Chen Manman chased after him and asked in a low voice, "Weiwei, didn't you just say why you are going to change clothes again?" ”
Xiao Ling didn't answer slightly, pulled her around, walked to the top of the high, and said casually, "If you want to say who has the best piano skills in this capital, it is the daughter of Princess An Ning, the county lord of Changle."
"Even my second sister has the title of 'No. 1 Talented Girl' in the capital, but in fact, she has a false reputation, and her piano skills are not as good as those of the county lord of Changle.
"Let's go, let's go and ask the county lord of Changle to come out and let my second sister see what it means to go around the beam for three days."
Chen Manman saw Xiao Lingwei's gaze to the left, and when she saw Xiao Hui's figure, she immediately understood Xiao Lingwei's intentions.
She raised her voice slightly, and said in a mocking tone, "Your second sister's piano sound, I really don't dare to compliment." ”
Immediately afterwards, she leaned close to Xiao Lingwei's ear, and seemed to be whispering, but in fact, the volume did not decrease at all, "To be honest, your second sister's piano sound is particularly ugly, how can the county lord of Changle play well." ”
At this time, Xiao Hui was already the princess of the prince's mansion, she never expected that at the palace banquet, someone would actually say bad things about her, and this person was still her cousin.
Of course, she has hated Xiao Lingwei since she was a child, and she longed for Xiao Lingwei to disappear in front of her eyes forever, but she didn't expect that after she got married, Xiao Lingwei would still be ghostly.
The resentment that had accumulated in Xiao Hui's heart for a long time erupted, dare to say that her piano sound was unpleasant? Dare to say that she is the first talented woman in the capital to have a false reputation?
How can this be reasonable, then she will let everyone see who has the best piano skills in the world.
"Your Majesty, the courtiers also want to participate in this round of competition."
As soon as these words landed, there was silence in the audience, and everyone showed surprised expressions.
It is not surprising that someone participates in the competition, but Concubine De's intention is obvious, that is, to let the young ladies who are not married participate in the competition, and even the competition of the sons is also used as a foil, which everyone knows.
They did not expect that a married woman would ask to participate, even though this woman was still very young and had just been married.
The corners of Xiao Ling's mouth raised slightly, and she took the bait.
"Let's go."
Chen Manman was slightly pulled back by Xiao Ling, and he almost fell down when he didn't react for a while, "Hey, didn't you say that you were going to invite the county lord of Changle?" ”
Xiao Ling raised her eyebrows slightly, "What please, please?" The person who should be on the field is already on. ”
When the emperor saw Xiao Hui, he immediately became interested, "Oh, you want to participate too?" ”
Xiao Hui nodded, "Yes, Concubine Fang Cai De Niangniang said that anyone who is willing to participate in the competition can participate, and there is no limit." ”
Concubine De was unhappy in her heart, but her face was warm, "This palace does say so, since the princess wants to participate, let's go on stage." ”
"Your Majesty, what do you think?"
The emperor smiled and said, "The concubine has agreed, and I have no opinion." ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty and Niangniang."
So, Xiao Hui came to power.
Xiao Hui put on her most elegant posture, smiled and looked at the people below, and when her eyes touched Xiao Lingwei, she raised her eyebrows defiantly, waiting to see.
Xiao Ling showed a surprised expression at the right time, and then returned her with a bright smile.
"In this competition, you play the same tune, that is, the song "Mountains and Flowing Water". If anyone can play to the end without being affected, and there is no mistake in a single note, they are considered to be the first. ”
After announcing the rules of the game, Xiao Hui saw that the county lord of Changle was not on the field, and she hurriedly shouted, "Wait." ”
Concubine De looked over, "What's wrong with the princess?" ”
Xiao Hui said, "Why didn't the county lord of Changle come up?" ”
When Concubine De heard this, she felt inexplicable, "The county lord of Changle is unwell and has not entered the palace today. ”
Xiao Hui suddenly glared in the direction of Xiao Lingwei, damn it, how dare you lie to her?
Xiao Lingwei must have thought that her piano skills were terrible and wanted her to make a fool of herself, so she tricked her into playing.
Thinking about this, Xiao Hui held a fire in her heart, wanting her to make a fool of herself, it was impossible.
Today, let everyone see that she, the first talented woman in the capital, deserves her name.
Concubine De saw that everyone else was ready, and only Xiao Hui was still standing in place, so she asked, "Concubine Shi doesn't want to compare?" ”
Xiao Hui came back to her senses, "No, of course you have to compare." ”
She was slightly blessed and sat down gracefully.
Concubine De glanced at her and asked loudly, "Are you all ready?" ”
The people on the field replied in unison, "Ready." ”
"Let's go."
Almost at the same moment, more than a dozen people stroked the strings at the same time, the jade fingers were lightly raised, and the sound of the piano suddenly sounded in the hall.
At the beginning, the sound of the piano was clear and cold, like a trickle of water, slowly flowing through everyone's hearts. It is like a breeze in the mountains, gently blowing on the face, which makes people fascinated.
Gradually, someone made a mistake, and then the sound of the piano was chaotic, and the people in the audience couldn't help but cover their ears and shouted, "What kind of piano sound is this, it's hard to hear." ”
When the people on the stage heard it, their movements were even more panicked, and the more they played, the more out of tune, and finally, they put down the piano and retired from the stage.
One person retreated, and soon a second person retreated, until in the end, there were only Xiao Hui and Han Xi on the stage.
Without the interference of others, the sound of the two of them unexpectedly blended together, high-pitched and excited, which is part of this song.
"I didn't expect your second sister to be very powerful, it doesn't seem to be affected." Chen Manman commented while biting the fruit.
Xiao Lingwei didn't look at Xiao Hui, because she knew that although Xiao Hui was always jealous of her in the past and spoke ill of her in front of her grandmother, Xiao Hui was still very talented in piano skills.
You don't need to look to know that Xiao Hui will definitely win.
She had been observing Han Xi, and at the very beginning, Han Xi was very confident, and even for others, Han Xi had a contemptuous attitude.
But when only Han Xi and Xiao Hui were left on the stage, Han Xi began to look at Xiao Hui frequently, and when he saw Xiao Hui devoting himself physically and mentally to playing the piano, he was not affected at all, and Han Xi began to be calm.
Xiao Ling faintly heard that Han Xi had made a mistake in the part, causing the rhythm to slow down by a beat, and although she quickly adjusted, she was already behind Xiao Hui and could no longer catch up
