Destroyed outside, gold and jade inside

Chapter 195 He said, yes

The little lady was talking, Yu Zhuoying didn't know what the Empress Dowager instructed, and walked straight to Shen Xinniang.

She glanced at the little lady who was speaking first, then raised her chin and said to Shen Xinniang: "Are you a concubine of Prince Qi's Mansion?"

Shen Xinniang, who dared not bow her head even when she saw the queen mother, blessed Yu Zhuoying, "Yes."

"It's polite, you know why the Empress Dowager invited you here today, don't you?" Yu Zhuoying said in a cold voice.

"Countless." Shen Xiniang answered with downcast eyes.

Yu Zhuoying smiled, "It's good to have a few."

After speaking, she glanced at the little lady at the side again, and raised her foot to leave.

"Hey, what do you mean? Now let's show off the mistress' score?" The little lady stood sideways in front of Yu Zhuoying and asked disdainfully.

"Who are you?" Yu Zhuoying asked with a frown.

"I'm really from the countryside and have never seen the world, and I don't even know who I am?" The little lady laughed mockingly, "Tell her!"

"My wife is the granddaughter of Cai Xiang, and she is the No. 1 piano player in the capital. No one has ever surpassed my wife!" The little lady's maid said proudly.

Yu Zhuoying sneered upon hearing this, "Since that's the case, why are you being so arrogant here? Just step forward and play!"

After she finished speaking, she lifted her foot and walked away, leaving only a mocking chuckle.

The little lady of the Cai family was annoyed, and seeing Yu Zhuoying walking towards the queen mother, it was hard for her to catch up, so she turned her head and looked at Shen Xinniang angrily, "So you are King Qi's concubine. You are so polite, why don't you salute me? She is just a young lady from the offshoot of the Yu family, and I am the granddaughter of Cai Xiang's direct relationship!"

Shen Xinniang looked at her indifferently, "Miss Cai, don't you understand?"

"Understand what?" the young lady of the Cai family asked with a frown.

"How can someone be so dull?" Shen Xinniang shook her head and sighed, "The empress dowager wants to choose a concubine for my prince, and the purpose of promoting the eighteenth mother of the Yu family is self-evident. Seeing the person who will be the master mother in the future, how can I not How about being more polite?"

"Don't you want to choose? It's still a choice here. It's clearly decided by default, and it's just a show!" The young lady of the Cai family said in amazement.

Both Dan Xin and Jin Xiang couldn't help but take a deep look at the little lady of the Cai family. How could she be protected by the family members so that she couldn't even see such a trick?
"So, do you still dare to go up and play, surpassing her in piano skills?" Shen Xinniang asked.

"Why don't you dare?" The little lady of the Cai family snorted, "It's fine if you don't know the reason, but if you know the reason, you can't let her be arrogant! I can't understand this kind of person the most!"

After finishing speaking, she actually turned around and stepped forward, stopping the palace servant who was about to carry away the piano stand.

"The eighteenth lady has exquisite piano skills. It is hard for a young girl to find a bosom friend. Hearing the sound of the piano, I can't help but feel itchy. I want to ask the eighteenth lady for advice, and I hope that the eighteenth lady will not hesitate to teach me." Mrs. Cai blessed the empress dowager, raised her head and smiled at Yu Zhuoying, Pingping Tingting sat down behind the piano stand.

Lifting the plain hand lightly, plucking the strings, the sound of the piano curled up, stirring the slightly impetuous air, instantly quieting the slightly noisy Imperial Garden.

Shen Xinniang turned to Jin Xiang, "Isn't there a prince in the palace?"

Jin Xiang nodded repeatedly.

"Find a way to invite the prince to come." Shen Xinniang ordered in a low voice.

When Jin Xiang heard this, she stared in surprise, and Shen Xinniang whispered a few words in her ear.Jin Xiang nodded, and quickly retreated quietly.

The others seemed to be intoxicated by the sound of Mrs. Cai's piano, enjoying it with their eyes closed, and no one noticed a little maid quietly leaving.

Seeing everyone's devoted expressions, Dan Xin couldn't help grinning slightly, "Although the servant girl doesn't know the rhythm, but judging from everyone's reactions, the Empress Dowager's unfriendly expression, and the tight lips of Yu Shiba Niang, I should be sure. But this lady Cai plays the piano better than that Yu Shibaniang?"

Shen Xinniang lowered her eyes, "From what I hear, there is no difference, but the technique is exquisite and small."

"No wink." Yu Shi snorted softly, seeing that Yu Zhuoying's face was not good-looking, she comforted her voice: "Don't worry, she is only good at piano skills, and she will pass you in the calligraphy competition later?"

Only then did Yu Zhuoying smile again, "Thank you, Empress Dowager, for your love."

"Who told you to be my younger sister? Naturally, I want to take care of my family." Yu said slowly, "As long as you listen to me, no one can surpass your limelight."

Yu Zhuoying nodded again and again, "Don't worry, Empress Dowager, the little girl will save it."

Yu frowned, and cast a glance at Shen Xinniang who was standing quietly among the rose vines.

Sensing her gaze, Shen Xinniang also looked up.

The smile on the corner of Yu's mouth couldn't help but enlarge, he looked at her for a moment, then turned away proudly.So what if she won Fang Yan's heart?She just didn't want them to have a good time, she just wanted to plant a grudge among them!What she can't get, no one else can get it completely!

Jin Xiang hurried back panting, and nodded to Shen Xinniang.Shen Xinniang walked away.

The song is over.

The imperial garden was instantly silent.Most of the people didn't come back to their senses, and were still immersed in the curling sound of the piano.

Suddenly a solitary applause sounded, which shocked everyone to look for their prestige.

But I saw a slender figure, clapping his hands, walking leisurely, "Not bad."

The handsome face, the indifferent look, the vermilion lips parted lightly, a good sentence seems to please the ears of these girls more than the sound of the piano.

The girls in Mood for Love couldn't help being overjoyed when they saw the person coming, some of them were not too reserved and even exclaimed, "It's Prince Qi! Prince Qi is here too!"

"I intend to choose a concubine for Prince Qi today, and Prince Qi will naturally come!"

"If I knew this earlier, why should I be so reserved, I'll go up and play the piano!"

"Can you replace Prince Qi with a good voice?"

……

There were discussions everywhere.

Madam Cai, who was sitting behind the piano stand, got up hurriedly. In the past, only hearing about Prince Qi was enough to make people fascinated. Now, seeing Prince Qi is so divine and handsome, it really makes people's heart skip a beat.

Did he really say that he played well?Did he listen to it in the imperial garden early in the morning?Fortunately, I didn't miss this opportunity!

She lowered her head, her face was blushing, but she couldn't help but secretly raised her eyes, looking at King Qi's figure, looking at King Qi's handsome face that made the entire Imperial Garden look pale, her heart was beating louder than ever. It is even more tense when playing, almost out of breath.

"Prince Qi didn't deal with government affairs in the previous court, why did he have the leisure to come to the imperial garden?" Yu Shi got up, her tone was quite sour.

"Queen Mother." Fang Yan cupped his hands indifferently, but did not look at her, his deep eyes flicked between the flowers.

Shen Xinniang was standing not far behind the piano stand, beckoning to him.

Fang Yan couldn't help chuckling, seeing her, he seemed to feel much better immediately.

Mrs. Cai felt that she was about to pass out from happiness!what did she seeWhen she saw the rumored cold-faced prince, Prince Qi actually smiled at her!Really laughed!
She immediately squatted down and replied with a shy smile.

Seeing the chuckle on Fang Yan's face, Mrs. Yu was also slightly taken aback, quite fascinated.When she turned her face to follow Fang Yan's line of sight, Shen Xiniang had already stepped into the rose bushes.I saw the little lady of the Cai family squatting down and saluting with a blushing face.

"Prince Qi is not busy with official duties, but he is busy admiring beauties?" Yu said in a low voice.

The sour smell overflows the gazebo in the imperial garden.

"Accompanying the Holy Majesty passing by here, hearing the sound of the piano, he couldn't control his footsteps, and came looking for the sound." Fang Yan said softly, "I hope the Queen Mother will not blame you for disturbing the Queen Mother's banquet! Then I will leave."

After speaking, he turned around and stepped out of the gazebo, striding away from the imperial garden.

Prince Qi's coming and going like this made the originally peaceful Imperial Garden seem to explode.The little ladies who were originally calm couldn't calm down anymore.

Most of the young ladies have never seen the real face of Prince Qi before, but only heard people mention how King Qi is.I guessed a little about the matter of choosing a concubine for Prince Qi. Today, I saw the empress dowager doing things, and I probably understood it. The empress dowager obviously already has a candidate.Everyone didn't express any hope in their hearts, but they just joined in the fun according to the occasion.

Now that Prince Qi showed up and praised Lady Cai, things seemed to be different?
Everyone also had hope in their hearts, and when they thought about it deeply, although the women in the inner house don't understand the affairs of the court, there are always those who are caring. I heard from my brother and father at home that the entanglement between Prince Qi and Uncle Yu is not good. and.

The person chosen by the queen mother for Prince Qi may not necessarily be the person the prince is willing to accept.

From this point of view, others also have hope!Later, the Yu family specially arranged for Yu Zhuoying to perform, but there were always people who refused to accept the challenge.

He lost to Mrs. Cai in piano skills, but Mrs. Cai won the personal praise of Prince Qi.

Calligraphy was lost to the daughters of several big families.

The further back in the competition, the more troubled Yu Zhuoying's face became.

"How? I said I won't lose to her, right?" Mrs. Cai came to Shen Xinniang's side and raised her chin and said.

Shen Xinniang blessed her body, "I admire you."

Mrs. Cai giggled, "Well...does the lord like to listen to the piano on weekdays?"

"I don't know." Shen Xinniang said.

"You, why don't you know? Aren't you Prince Qi's concubine?" Lady Cai asked, staring, "Could it be that you don't want to tell me?"

"What's the use of what others say?" Shen Xinniang said slowly, "Besides, if you didn't like to listen to it in the past, it doesn't mean you won't like it in the future. It's just that people who play the piano are different. Hasn't Mrs. Cai heard of Aiwujiwu?"

Mrs. Cai opened her mouth when she heard the words, and the blush that had just subsided immediately climbed up her cheeks again, Aiwujiwu?Does it mean that because he likes her, he likes to listen to her playing the piano?

She left with a thumping heart, and Prince Qi's glimpse of a glimpse, that light smile that made the world and the entire imperial garden eclipsed, flashed before her eyes.

It has long been heard that Prince Qi is a cold-faced prince who never smiles warmly at others. Just now, didn't he just smile at her?

In the heart of a girl, she always believes that she is different, and always believes that she will encounter encounters that others cannot match.

"You're right. Although you're just a prince's concubine, you look much more pleasing to the eye than Na Yu Shiba!" Mrs. Cai said with a smile, "I hope we can see each other often in the future."

After speaking, Mrs. Cai was dragged away with a smile.
