Mountains and rivers pray for peace

Chapter 139
Le Xuan's status is not enough for these second-generation ancestors. Fortunately, she is very popular with Emperor Xiaowen, and she has practiced a lot of skills, so they are also happy to show some face. Seeing her coming, they all smiled of.

Before Lexuan could explain his intention, the fifth prince blew a whistle, and his ambiguous gaze climbed up the woman's slender neck like a water snake: "What is Le Sile doing here? Could it be that he is in a good mood and came here specially for the king?" Playing a piano?"

Le Xuan gave a secret "spit", but on the face she still followed the rules and greeted everyone in the audience, and then said with a smile: "Your Highness Fifth was joking, and the servant girl came here to ask His Highness Seventh for advice on something. .”

"Le Sile has found the wrong person. His Highness the Seventh Prince never cares about other people's business. Why don't I, the king, help you?" Before Shen Yuning could speak, the fifth prince stepped in and waved to her with a smile.

The second-generation ancestors at the viewing table let out a disgusting laugh when they heard the words. The fifth prince's thought was simply Sima Zhao's heart-everyone knew it.

When Lexuan saw this, his silver teeth were almost broken.

Le Xuan is arrogant, and probably will spend her whole life holding that lyre.She never thought of marrying as a woman, playing a piano and playing harmoniously, let alone getting involved in the imperial family's struggle as a concubine for a lifetime.

But the fifth prince was frivolous and bullied her. She was cold-blooded and submissive, thinking that he would soon lose interest and let her go.But not only did he not do it, he acted more boldly. Otherwise, how could Concubine Shu notice such a small piano player like her?

It's ridiculous that Concubine Shu asked herself to do things for her at the expense of wearing small shoes for her.When Emperor Xiaowen called her to play the piano, she had to pay attention to Emperor Xiaowen's movements for Concubine Shu.Now that she is an examiner, it is enough to go against her will and embarrass a young junior, but she has to suffer such humiliation from her son in public.

Simply deceiving!
She glanced sideways and saw Shen Yuning's sword eyebrows raised slightly, so she suppressed her anger and replied: "Back to Your Highness, the results of all the competitions for selecting girls have been decided, but Duke Ning's Huo Qi can't make the decision. I heard that His Highness the Seventh Highness is quite sensible. Music theory, if His Highness Seventh Prince is willing to come up with an idea, everyone will be convinced."

The others were all puzzled when they heard the words, so why can't they make up their minds?Huo Qi was the one who performed the most outstandingly just now.But he also remembered that he was betting on Nie Ying, so no one questioned Le Xuan's statement.

The fourth prince still had that unpredictable expression, while the fifth prince Meng Lang looked away from Le Xuan, and turned to staring at Shen Yuning with interest. He was curious whether Shen Yuning would speak for Huo Qi.

But he was immediately doused with cold water.

Shen Yuning closed her eyes and said indifferently, "Why should I bother?"

Lexuan felt slightly embarrassed, but not as embarrassed as before.There was no mockery or humiliation on Shen Yuning's face, only a hint of indifference.She was thinking about how to respond, but she heard Shen Yuning tapped on the table with her fingers, and pointed out: "What the emperor values ​​most is Le Si Le's strength of character, but I don't know whether this strength of character is true or not."

Lexuan was frightened, raised his head suddenly, and then quickly lowered his head deeper than before.

Le Xuan was valued by Emperor Xiaowen, and her superb piano skills were only one aspect of it. More importantly, she was really a transparent person who could understand the elegant meaning of the music by listening to it.Shen Yuning's words didn't sound like much at first sight, but the meaning behind them seemed to be that he knew that he had plotted against Huo Qi today?
The Seventh Prince grew up under the Empress Dowager's knees, could it be that the Empress Dowager Pei also knew about it?
Then this will be troublesome!
"Character is something only the dead have. Living people always have to bow to the world. Of course, this Miss Huo is a rare person with character." Le Xuan smiled lightly, and the sweat on his palms had already soaked the handkerchief. .

Seeing the confused look on the fifth prince's face, he made a quick guess and found out that he didn't know about Concubine Shu's plan.Her expression quickly returned to normal, and she had a plan in mind: "I wonder what the Fifth Highness thinks of Miss Huo's piano skills?"

"Her performance today is indeed outstanding. It is not an exaggeration to say that the sound of the piano has been lingering for three days." The fifth prince raised his eyebrows and smiled.

He didn't like Huo Qi at all, but Huo Qi's performance today was obvious to all. If he, a prince, told lies in front of so many people, he would lose his own face.Besides, he just wanted to deliberately praise Huo Qi to the extremes of heaven and earth to see if Le Xuan would be secretly jealous.

However, Lexuan smiled more sincerely, which made him feel happy: "In this case, I know what I am doing, so I will leave first."

The auditorium was a distance away from the female selection seats, and the female candidates couldn't hear the voice at all. Seeing Le Xuan go and return, they quietly whispered to the people beside them.

Nie Ying stared at Lexuan's figure closely, as if there was a heavy stone weighing on her heart. Lexuan would not go to the viewing banquet for no reason. Unless something unexpected happened at the scene, the biggest surprise might be that she and Huo Qi could not be together. Decide on the leader.

Luo Rou whispered: "Huo Qi, what kind of medicine do you think is sold in Le Si Le's gourd?"

"I don't know." Huo Qi shook his head, "However, we will know soon."

Luo Rou thought about the meaning of Huo Qi's words, but the little eunuch who was in charge of the registration had already walked to the center of the piano pool with the roster, and announced the rankings of the competition starting from No. 15.

Luo Rou got No. 7, Liu Yiyi was better, just beating her, and got sixth. When she saw this, she glanced at Luo Rou proudly, but when she glanced at Huo Qi next to Luo Rou, the look on her face The smile faded a little.

Nie Ying no longer has the extra time to pay attention to others, but as the ranking goes up, the rabbit in her heart reaches her throat faster.

In the blink of an eye, the little eunuch sang: "No. 2, Nie Ying, the daughter of the Minister of Rites -"

There were congratulatory sounds in her ears, but Nie Ying was dizzy. These congratulatory sounds rushed towards her like a dirty tide, as if they were going to drag her into the bottom of the sea that never sees light.She grew up so big, when did she get second?She has always said that if she does not do it, she must be number one if she does.

Before she could recover, the little eunuch read loudly: "Chief, Huo Qi, the daughter of Ning Guogong!"

In the blink of an eye, the results of the competition were settled!

Nie Ying's body went limp and she almost collapsed to the ground. In fact, she had expected it, but when the leader really fell on Huo Qi, she found that compared to the fact that she was second, the fact that the leader was Huo Qi was even more difficult for her. Bear.Why Huo Qi?Why should she become a stepping stone for Huo Qi to become famous?

Liu Yiyi didn't care about comforting Nie Ying at this time, the scene of Huo Qi being summoned to the Changle Palace after threatening her yesterday flashed through her mind, leaving only burning jealousy in her mind.

At the other end of the auditorium, everyone felt that it was enjoyable, and this good show finally saw its end.Shen Yuning also gave a rare smile, turned her head and said: "Cheng Chang, after today's competition, go and get the gold that this king won today." This made the second-generation ancestors feel like they had eaten a fly, and they dared not refute play tricks.

As for the selection of women's seats, some families are happy and some are sad.

Huo Qi won the first place, but Luo Rou was so excited that she went crazy. She grabbed Huo Qi's hand and said, "Did you hear it! Huo Qi, you are the leader! Did you hear it!"

"En." Huo Qi responded in a low voice.

"Also! I'm seventh! I'm also shortlisted!" Luo Rou beamed with joy.

"I heard it all." Huo Qi smiled.

Luo Rou glanced at her, and wondered: "Then why are you not interested? Could it be that you are worried about the next two shots?"

Perhaps it was the result of Qin Yi that greatly boosted Luo Rou's confidence. She patted her chest: "I can't help you with Archery, but there are only ten people participating in the competition of Royal Horse. It is very likely that we will be divided Get into a group. I will be responsible for covering you then, and it’s no big deal if you want to be among the five finalists!”

Huo Qi laughed and nodded vigorously.In fact, she was just wondering why she became the leader.Since Lexuan suddenly got up and went to the audience seat, it must have been because of a conflict with the other two examiners that he had to move reinforcements.Then why did she change her mind after going to the viewing gallery?
Before she could sort out her chaotic thoughts, she heard the little eunuch loudly say: "Please shortlisted girls to move to the archery booth immediately——"
