Princess Zichu trembled with anger, she didn't expect that Sheng Zhiyao would dare to insult her like this!

"Wait!" Concubine Qi suddenly stopped Sheng Zhiyao.

"Do you have any other commands?" Sheng Zhiyao stopped.

"The competition isn't over yet! Could it be that the county lord is afraid that his skills are not as good as others, so he wants to run away now? Princess Zichu sneered.

"Hehe, I don't object to you thinking so, after all, my skills don't bother to compete with you at all, because it's a waste of time." Sheng Zhiyao said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"Then why did you just agree to the competition!"

"Because I want to know what makes you so confident as a princess from Xichu! I think I should know the answer by now. Sheng Zhiyao said mockingly.

"What do you mean?" Princess Zichu was a little annoyed by Sheng Zhiyao's words, and became angry.

"Hehe, don't you understand what I mean?" Sheng Zhiyao asked rhetorically.

"You!" Princess Zichu was speechless for a while, but she refused to show weakness.

"You, you, you, can you say anything more than these words? There should also be a limit to hearsay, otherwise it can only be used as a gun by others. Sheng Zhiyao said disdainfully.

"You!" Princess Zichu stomped her feet angrily, she didn't expect that she would be ridiculed by a little girl, and she was told the essence of the matter.

At this time, Concubine Qi Guifei came over: "Your Royal Highness Princess, don't be angry, don't worry about this rude wild girl." Qi Guifei patted Princess Zichu's back and comforted, and at the same time glared at Sheng Zhiyao fiercely, her eyes full of hatred.

Sheng Zhiyao was also a little impatient, walked over and picked up the guqin and put it on the table and played it.

A song "Three Alleys of Plum Blossoms" resounded one after another in the entire grassland, at first it was a beautiful melody, the rhythm was bright, and then it became ups and downs, and finally it was still and moving, one soft and one rigid, rigid and soft, even Qi Guifei and Princess Zichu were a little immersed in it, and many people's kindness was still unfinished after the song.

"Bang Bang!" The emperor's applause rang out, and then the others also burst into applause.

"The county lord is really powerful, it seems that he is still a master." An old minister exclaimed.

"Yes, I've never heard of anyone who can play the piano so well." Another old minister touched his chin and still remembered his beard.

"Well, I've never heard such a wonderful sound, what's this piece called?" The emperor looked down on Sheng Zhiyao.

"Grandpa Huihuang, it's called "Plum Blossom Three Alleys"."

"Well, this song is very good, Grandpa Huang likes it, Zhiyao, you can actually play the piano, and you play it so well, it's really beyond my expectations." The emperor looked at Sheng Zhiyao and said with a smile, such a smile was rarely shown by him in front of his ministers, and his eyes were full of appreciation and relief when he looked at Sheng Zhiyao.

"Thank you for the praise of Grandpa Huang, when I was a child, I often slept by Grandpa's piano, and I watched it from time to time." Sheng Zhiyao bowed slightly.

The emperor nodded with satisfaction, looking at Sheng Zhiyao's gaze becoming more and more satisfied, he turned his head to look at Zi Chu: "Princess Zi Chu, I think I will stop here today, Zhi Yao is still young, you two are also tired, let's continue another day, how about it?" ”

Princess Zichu looked at Sheng Zhiyao and then at the emperor, she gritted her teeth and said reluctantly: "Yes, since Your Majesty has decided, then Zichu can only obey orders." ”

The emperor nodded: "Princess Zichu is really smart, take a break, eat some refreshments from our Shang Zhou Dynasty, and let's watch the polo game." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Princess Zichu answered, then sat back in her place and stopped making a sound, but her face was gloomy, and she looked at Sheng Zhiyao's eyes with a thick sense of jealousy.

Sheng Zhiyao didn't pay attention to it, and ran to the imperial grandmother and lied: "Imperial grandmother, what do you think of Zhiyao?" ”

"Okay, good, Zhiyao plays very well." Grandma Huang smiled and said, "I know you are the best." ”

Sheng Zhiyao smirked, but she was looking around, because she found that the ministers looked at her strangely.

"What are you doing, why are you looking at me like that?" Sheng Zhiyao leaned towards the imperial grandmother.

"County Lord, you are so powerful, I didn't expect you to play such a good song "Plum Blossom Three Alleys"." An old minister on the side praised sincerely.

"Yes, county lord, you're only five years old, it's really amazing to come to Japan!" Another old minister also said.

"Hey! The children taught by the Shenghou Mansion are really extraordinary, it would be great if you could be my granddaughter-in-law. ”

"Yan Po, you old thing, actually robbed my good granddaughter in front of me, quickly dispelled your idea, your grandson has not been born yet, I'm afraid I can't wait." The emperor listened to several of their old ministers praising Sheng Zhiyao like this, and he was very proud in his heart, and hurriedly fought back and asked them not to fight Sheng Zhiyao's idea.

"Thank you for your kindness, I just know a little about the surface." Sheng Zhiyao said modestly.

"Okay, okay, don't praise Zhiyao anymore, lest she be proud and complacent, let her rest quietly." Grandma Huang interjected.

Everyone listened to the queen's words, so naturally they didn't dare to say any more, but they still looked at Sheng Zhiyao's gaze very strangely.

Sheng Zhiyao was a little helpless, she knew that this time she had pushed herself to the cusp of the wind and waves again, but she didn't have any room to retreat now, she didn't want to lose the face of the emperor's grandfather in front of other people.

However, she was indeed a little tired, and as soon as her expression relaxed, she wanted to sleep a little.

"Zhiyao, why don't you go back and rest first." Grandma Huang said kindly, and then she greeted Sheng Hanmo: "Hanmo, you and Hangu take Zhiyao back first, you should be tired after tossing for so long." ”

"Yes, let's take my sister back, thank you for the queen's understanding." Sheng Hanmo arched his hand and said.

Sheng Zhiyao bowed obediently: "That Zhiyao retired first." ”

"Go, rest well, and come to the palace to see me when you have enough spirits." Grandma Huang waved her hand and said.

"Okay, Zhiyao will definitely come often." After Sheng Zhiyao finished speaking, the two brothers took her out of the grassland and got into the carriage.

The carriage was bumpy all the way, Sheng Zhiyao had already fallen asleep on the road, and when he returned to the Hou Mansion or Sheng Hanmo carried him back to the room, he told his subordinates to take care of him before leaving.

As soon as Sheng Hanmo returned to the Hou Mansion, he went to the old marquis's Qingliu Courtyard, and he told the old marquis all about what happened in Sheng Zhiyao today, and the old marquis laughed when he heard it.

The old marquis asked Sheng Hanmo: "Do you also want to know, why does your sister have so many things?" ”

Sheng Hanmo looked at the old marquis suspiciously and nodded.

"I remember when Zhiyao was one year old when she could speak, I found that her IQ was different from ordinary people, every time I read a book, she followed me to read, I didn't understand her and asked, I played the piano and she also played, so I made a small piano for her, she actually learned to play the piano, and played better than me."

The old marquis had a hint of pride, picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip and continued: "During that time, I was very happy, and then she grew up slowly, and she read books and tinkered with some things that she didn't have, she played when she should play, and she wasn't idle when you were studying, she basically read all the books in my Sichuan Xiangyuan, and she knew all the books that I didn't have time to read." ”
