"Father, Princess Wanyan's dancing is soft and moving, and her skills must be very superb, so she can handle it so well, her daughter dares to ask Princess Wanyan to play a song, what does her father think?"

For a long time, the pipa of the fifth princess is the best played in the palace. Just a song "Ambush on All Sides" is the most popular with Xiao Yu, with her comparison, it is not difficult for Princess Tanglin to get off the stage.

Xiao Yu is also becoming more and more interested in Lin Wanyan, I don't know what other surprises this Tanglin princess can bring, "I wonder if Princess Wanyan has a musical instrument that she is good at?"

Lin Wanyan complained bitterly in her heart, she danced an impromptu dance with high nervousness, her back was wet, she couldn't rest, these people would really toss her, but she could only laugh and laugh. "The little girl is not talented, a little bit of a thing. The emperor likes pipa, and the little girl is willing to present a song, but the little girl has never had a high attainment in pipa, if she pollutes the emperor's ears, please don't blame the emperor!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone couldn't help but wonder, since they knew that they were not good at the pipa, why did they play the pipa? After thinking about it, just now the queen was embarrassed to dance "Ambush on All Sides", and she did not refuse, and she was full of confidence when she thought about it.

On the side, Zhen Lie was a little restless, although his sister was smart and clever since she was a child, her attainments in qin, chess, calligraphy and painting were indeed not high, as if all her talents were used in swordsmanship. The dance just now was not bad, but he didn't think it was a fluke, and it was terrible to be ugly later.

After saluting, Lin Wanyan walked to the position of the fifth princess, politely took the pipa from the maid's hand, sat down, and all the eyes of His Royal Highness converged. Lin Wanyan sat there dignified and decent, with an indifferent smile on his face, and his pure and inviolable temperament overflowed invisibly.

The pipa sounded, Lin Wanyan was skillful in fingering, and the pause was appropriate, and a song "High Mountains and Flowing Water" was like a heavenly sound, taking the entire hall to immerse itself. The whole piece has a natural rhyme, the upper eight sections are high mountains, and the lower seven sections are flowing water, although the meaning seems to be different and the title is three-dimensional, there is no difference in the rhyme, and the tone is high and low, which means endlessly. Until the sound of the pipa fell, everyone seemed to be still unsatisfied.

At this time, Xiao Shen took the lead in clapping his hands. "This is another improvisation by Princess Smoke? What a talented woman! I'm afraid that it will be more difficult for the great god to find a person who can compose such a song!"

"Hahaha!" Xiao Yu laughed, in terms of quyi, there are too few people who can win the praise of his eighth emperor brother, which banquet Xiao Shen can't lose his temper and drive away a few people who are not good at quyi, and he doesn't care about the face of his imperial brother at all. "To be so praised by Prince Yue, I really look forward to which emperor can have such a blessing!"

"The emperor has won the award, Prince Yue has won the award!" Lin Wanyan bowed generously, two blush still appeared on his face, and when he walked down, he still glanced at the prince at the table in front of him with the afterglow of his eyes, and failed to take a closer look at his appearance, but she was very sure that Xiao Yuwen was not among them, and she couldn't help but feel a little lost, could it be that she guessed wrong?

In the palace banquet later, Lin Wanyan did not perform any more talents, and after Xiao Yu officially gave wine and food, everyone staggered in the song and dance of the palace. From time to time, people came to talk and toast, and Zhenyeol coped politely and decently. Lin Wanyan was a little lacking in interest, but those people were all trying to persuade her to drink, especially a few concubines.

Naturally, she didn't dare to get drunk on this occasion, Lin Wanyan didn't know how much she drank, and she didn't dare to come nonsense, so she drank a total of three cups of fruit wine, one was given by the emperor, one was given by the queen, and one was given by the princess, and she took the initiative to respect Prince Yue, and the others were pushed.

In the end, she found that except for the sixth princess, who never came, was the third prince, she thought that the sixth princess should be the woman who competed with her for a place in Suxinlou that day, she must be embarrassed to come, what about the third prince?

In the carriage out of the palace, Lin Wanyan had squinted tiredly, this kind of banquet was really too energy-consuming, her face was almost stiff when she smiled, the things in the palace looked exquisite and delicious, but she didn't have time to eat, and so many people stared at her, she was embarrassed to eat.

Zhenyeol may have drunk some wine, and his spirits have been very high. "Sister, how do you feel about today's palace banquet?"

Lin Wanyan heard Zhenlie speak, and opened his eyes slightly, unable to hide his exhaustion and loss. "I'm still hungry!"

"Hahaha!" Zhenyeol laughed when he heard it, why is his sister so cute, obviously let her choose a husband, but her purpose seems to be to fill her stomach. "My brother asked how many princes you are?"

"General. Lin Wanyan pursed her lips, although the princes are all good-looking, but in her own words, they just don't have any eyes. The eldest prince obviously already has a wife, but the blazing gaze has been staying on her face, making her very uncomfortable. Although the fourth prince is eighteen, he looks relatively immature and exaggerated. The Seventh Prince is a little young and old, with a calm temperament that does not match his age, and there is still a little cunning in his eyes. The eighth prince is only fourteen, she didn't even look at it, she was twenty years old in her last life, and she was sixteen years old in this life, why wouldn't she find a fourteen-year-old person to marry, right?

"But you don't like it?" Zhen Yeol didn't talk to the prince who came carefully, and the Hengzhi family went to Princess Wanyan.

"It seems that the third prince didn't come?" Lin Wanyan still couldn't help but ask, what she was looking forward to the most tonight was the third prince.

Zhen Lie thought about it, and it seemed that he really hadn't seen the third prince. "Sister, remember carefully!"

"Isn't this my brother's ear asking me to remember these people!" Lin Wanyan was afraid that he would be seen as a flaw.

"Just my sister's mouth is poor!" Zhen Lie didn't doubt it at all, but Lin Wanyan didn't say it, he really didn't think about it. "Emperor Yue, the great god, don't say it, let those princes accompany you to play later, sister and get along with them, and there will be an answer in your heart." ”

"Brother, I don't want to go out with them, I'm very tired, it's better to read in the house!" Lin Wanyan couldn't help but complain, she had no intention of choosing among those princes, and she had to deliberately create opportunities to get along, and she was more embarrassed by herself, she didn't want to.

This can surprise Zhen Lie, the emperor expressed his satisfaction with Lin Wanyan many times during the palace banquet, obviously to let her choose from several princes, and various details also show respect for the Tanglin Kingdom, if Lin Wanyan is not even willing to meet, this makes the great god Yue have no face.

"Sister, don't be willful, the more the great god is so troublesome, it is nothing more than a reflection of our respect for Dongling, the general and relatives are directly referred to marriage, and there is no chance to choose, and now my sister can still choose from them. Besides, no matter whether my sister likes it or not, we still have to go back to Tanglin to think about it in the long run. If you shouldn't be invited to play, you can't talk about it. ”

Lin Wanyan had a sad face, so he could only nod, and then closed his eyes to recuperate. She only thinks it's a trouble now, which means that whether she wants to or not, she has to accept at least one invitation from each prince, what is this,!

In the queen's palace, the personal maid Jasper served Yan Yiwei and slept in a wide robe.

"Which palace does the emperor rest in at night?" Yan Yiwei asked lightly, Xiao Yu has been devoted to politics over the years, and there have been no newcomers in the harem for several years, and no one has been favored by several concubines, so there have been no waves in the harem in the past few years.

"If you go back to Niangniang, you will be in Concubine Jing's bedroom. Jasper replied timidly.

Yan Yiwei's originally calm face suddenly showed a fierce look, and her eyes seemed to be about to kill. "That slut, when he is old, he still wants to dominate the emperor's favor. ”

"Why should Niangniang care, that Concubine Jing doesn't even have the qualifications to live in the harem, and she is old and decrepit, how can she be like Niangniang is still as beautiful as a flower, and she has won the favor of the emperor! Today, the third prince has not come at all, so what capital does Concubine Jing have to turn over?" Biyu is Yan Yiwei's dowry maid, and she is also one of the most trusted people, she knows almost everything.

Yan Yiwei relaxed a lot when she heard Biyu say this, and a hideous smile appeared on her face. At least she is now the queen mother in charge of the entire harem, and as long as she is there, that woman will not want to come back, along with his sick son. Her other bargaining chip is the eldest prince, and the mother and son have worked hard for so many years, isn't it just waiting for the day when the crown prince will be established? As long as her son ascends the throne, that woman will not want to live. No, she's going to make her worse than dead.

On the big bed of the Splendid Palace, Xiao Yu held Li Qingqing in his arms and kissed her cheek lovingly, "Qingqing, how are you doing these days?"

"Emperor Xie cares, it's no big deal. Li Qingqing's face was shy, and her voice was very gentle.

"Wen'er didn't come today, but she is not in good health?" Xiao Yu was originally extremely fond of this third prince, because he was smart and sensible since he was a child, he loved to read, and his temperament was calm and gentle. But many things happened later, which alienated the relationship between the father and son a lot, and the temperament of the three princes seemed to change greatly, which made Xiao Yu feel guilty and resentful. Guilty is that he has indeed done things to hurt their mother and son, and he is resentful that this son is very vindictive and indifferent to his father.

"Wen'er contracted a cold a few days ago, and it took a few days to get better after being in bed. I didn't like it either, so I didn't come today. Li Qingqing's words were full of distress, in fact, she hadn't seen her son for months. The latest news was told to her after stepping on the snow from Hanyue Mountain a few days ago, she only knew that Xiao Yuwen had saved a woman, and she was still very concerned. What kind of wind and cold, it's just an excuse that I don't want to make up.

"Let the Imperial Doctor take a look and take care of your body. Xiao Yu's voice was much softer. "At the beginning of next month, Wen'er will be eighteen, I want to hold a birthday banquet, let those young ladies come, and then you will also help Wen'er choose well. ”

"The emperor still remembers Wen'er's birthday!" Li Qingqing said that her eyes were a little moist, she had also looked down on a lot of things over the years, but after all, Xiao Yuwen couldn't rest assured in her heart, born in the royal family, it was destined that his life would not be easy, sometimes she would regret bringing him to this world, it was too bitter.

"I have never forgotten!" Xiao Yu's hand gently stroked Li Qingqing's shoulder, he really didn't forget, but every year to hold a birthday banquet for Xiao Yuwen, either Xiao Yuwen didn't come directly, or he came to show his face and left, and he didn't buy his account at all. "What does Qingqing think of this princess of Xuanyan, will Wen'er like it?"

"Princess Smoke, I like it a lot. Li Qingqing knows that Xiao Yuwen has never touched a woman over the years, but Xiao Yu only thinks that his body has been weak, if Xiao Yuwen knows that this year's birthday banquet is to choose a concubine for him, and his father has a suitable candidate, then with his temper, he will probably not come. "But I also have to like Wen'er himself, otherwise I can't do anything about his stubborn temper. ”

After a few days, Wen'er will be better, so he will lead Princess Wanyan around, and if they are together, their feelings will be cultivated. Xiao Yu is very satisfied with Lin Wanyan, but looking at his sons, he thinks that it is still so bad, Xiao Yuwen He thinks it is very good, but his body is weak.

"It's fine. Li Qingqing saw that Xiao Yu was so persistent, so she couldn't say anything.
