Li Muyao learned from the maidservant that Murong Xue was unable to attend the palace banquet because of the wind cold.

Her heart hung up, and she let go of most of it.

Although she was still suspicious of the rash on Jiang Huaiyin's face, with her understanding of Murong Xi, she didn't believe that Murong Xi would hit Jiang Huaiyin with her idea.

Secretly relieved, he also wanted to take this opportunity to avenge the stealing of coral blood that day.

In addition, he plans to show his skills in front of the eldest prince and queen.

My father has repeatedly emphasized that the emperor has not yet established the idea of a prince, and it is still unknown who will end up with the flowers.

Li Muyao's mind is bright, except for the eldest prince and the crown, the second prince and the third prince are only sixteen years old.

Even if the candidate for the concubine is decided, she will have to wait for the Year of the Monkey to get married, and she can't afford to wait.

As the concubine of her prime minister's house, if she can join forces with the eldest prince, the emperor will move his mind if he doesn't have a heart.

Before that, the biggest obstacle was Murong Xi.

From the moment she entered the main hall, Li Muyao noticed that the naked gaze of the eldest prince always glanced at Murong Xi!

Removing the hostility in her eyes, she walked to the center of the hall and blessed Murong Xi slightly, "Princess, please advise." ”

Murong Xi smiled back, she didn't dare to give advice, just beg not to let her "die" too miserably.

The atmosphere was all set here, Murong Xi no longer twisted, and got up and walked directly to the piano platform.

Two beautiful women sat next to each other, one was ice and jade, like a quiet orchid in troubled times, making people feel as if it was blasphemy to look at it more.

A charming but not demonic, dressed in a dark red court dress, like a delicate mandala saw, the beauty of the flamboyant wanton with subtle aggression, but it is beyond the touch.

are deeply attracted to everyone's attention.

The eldest prince was particularly amazed.

I always feel that I haven't seen each other for some days, and Murong Xi's face has become more and more coquettish.

Although the white figure beside him also has a fresh and elegant posture, it inevitably looks a little bleak.

Not at all to his taste.

The eldest prince's heart is even more determined, Murong Xi will definitely be in his pocket.

Li Muyao sat on the piano platform, and the expressions of everyone in the audience could be seen.

Almost all the thoughts of the eldest prince were written on her face, and she couldn't ignore them if she wanted to.

endured his unwilling thoughts, and his every move revealed the dignity of everyone's ladies, and smiled at Murong Xi, "I don't know if the princess can "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon"? ”

Murong Xi's fingertips lightly touched the strings, temporarily trying to regain some familiarity with the piano.

Hearing Li Muyao's question, Murong Xi thought about it and nodded.

The difficulty of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is more than one rank higher than that of "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix".

Li Muyao chose this song to prove that she is the dragon and phoenix among people? Or do you want to crush yourself in terms of skill and make a fool of yourself?

Before Murong Xi could come up with a reason, a slow and long sound of the piano was already coming from his ears.

Li Muyao, it's on.

Murong Ji stubbornly followed.

The control of the main theme has been on Li Muyao's body from the very beginning.

Murong Ji only had to cooperate.

The first part of the song, at the level of her half-hanging, can barely be reconciled.

When the song entered the second measure, sure enough, Li Muyao's fingertips began to dance rapidly on the strings, and Murong Xi's eyes could only glimpse the afterimage of her fingers from the corner of her eyes.

Murong Xi: "......"

I can't keep up anymore!

tentatively picking the strings and plucking the strings, Murong Xi found that the notes he played were like adding to Li Muyao's piano sound!

Everyone in the audience also gasped.

sighed that Li Muyao's piano skills were exquisite, and she also sweated for Murong Yao.

What a shame!

Murong Xi could feel the ridicule coming from all directions, and she looked down at the strings, slowly curling the corners of her lips.

The impassioned rhythm of the third measure finally came, and Murong Xi sat upright, suddenly closed his eyes, and took a deep breath.

"The pipa dances and changes the sound, and it is always the old love of the mountain——" (1)

"Dang!"

The sound of the chant that was close at hand made Li Muyao shocked.

The fingertips that plucked the strings snapped and made a muffled sound.

She turned her head sideways to look at Murong Xi in disbelief, only to see that Murong Xi was calm and calm, and her bright facial features revealed a rich sarcasm.

Murong Xi stood up, faced everyone's inquiring gaze, and continued to sing:

"I can't listen to the chaos and sorrow, and the high autumn moon shines on the Great Wall." （2）

Her piano skills are not as good as Li Muyao, and the ink in her stomach may not lose to Li Muyao.

Tonight's talent competition among the ladies at the palace banquet can be called a fairy fight.

She's never had a sharp idea.

But the trees want to be quiet, but the wind does not stop.

Since she has been promoted to this high position, how can she let people eat her?

A song "From the Army", corresponding to Li Muyao's "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", is a perfect match.

Everyone looked at the piano platform in astonishment.

Li Muyao's piano sound lingers, comparable to the master level.

What's even more amazing is that Murong Xi's dumb illness has actually been cured?!

A mute suddenly speaks, and whatever she says becomes the center of attention.

The eldest prince looked at Murong Ji who was standing proudly on the piano platform in a daze, and the ghost envoy called out to him, "Sister Murong, you-"

The Queen Mother also came back to her senses in shock, and hurriedly interrupted the eldest prince's words, got up and walked towards Murong Xi, grabbing her hands excitedly, her eyes slightly red.

"Hi-er, can you speak?"

She looked Murong Xi up and down, as if she had seen Murong Xi for the first time.

Murong Xi opened her mouth lightly, and her ethereal voice was like a jade bell left by the heavenly court, crisp and crisp around her ears.

"The Queen Mother is angry, Ji'er didn't mean to hide it, but she has just been cured, and she hasn't found a chance to show the Queen Mother——"

"It's okay." The Queen Mother stroked the back of her hand and said lovingly: "This is a good thing, a great good thing, it's too late for the mourning family to be happy!" ”

Li Muyao, who was on the side, watched the warm scene between the two with cold eyes and lowered her head.

Murong Xi only chanted a single sentence of poetry, and in an instant, all the light that fell on her was taken away.

She played hard and became a clown jumping beam!

Li Muyao's long eyelashes trembled slightly, and she glanced at the oblique prince lightly.

The performance of the eldest prince really did not "disappoint" her.

In the eyes of the distracted eye, almost all of them were Murong Xi's shadow.

Not even a trace of afterglow was left for her!

Of course, the lord of Hede was also the most surprised one of the present.

"How can you speak? It can't be, it's impossible-" Lord Hede froze in place, and Mu Ne spoke, "You are dumb, you should not speak!" Or are you able to speak a long time ago, but you've been pretending to be dumb? You are guilty of deceit! ”

The more he talked about the county lord of Hede, the more crazy he became, and he scolded Murong Xi with sharp words, eager to get rid of Murong Xi on the spot!

"Presumptuous!" The Queen Mother couldn't bear it, and stood in front of Murong Xi with a strong momentum, "It is a fact that everyone in the world knows how many doctors have been summoned into the palace to treat the dumb illness of the mourning family. Are you saying that the mourning family speaks, and the mourning family deceives the king? ”

And the lord of the county instinctively retorted, "But she-"

"Lord Hede." Jiang Huaiyin, who hadn't spoken for a long time, suddenly raised his eyes to look at the county lord of Hede, and the county lord of Hede was shocked by his voice that contained a sense of alienation like a moat.

Jiang Huaiyin twisted his fingers and looked at her indifferently, "Speaking of the crime of bullying the king, this king suddenly remembered an extremely interesting thing. ”

"I heard that there is a rouge shop in the east of the city, and the jade dew paste in the shop is very famous, I don't know if the lord of Hede, or Shen Guogong, can you have an impression of this shop?"
