Princess Shengping looked at Xingnong with a smile on her face, and it was impossible to tell what was going on behind her smile. It seemed as if she really just wanted to play a song to bless the King of Jin and Shen Ruoxi on their wedding.
She has said so. Her niece is willing to play the music personally as a wedding gift to the Emperor. If her biological daughter does not respond, wouldn't that be unfilial
Xing Nong looked over when she heard this. Before she could say anything, Zhao Luran smiled and said, "I heard that the music played by Princess Shengping is heavenly. Thanks to the King of Jin, we envoys are in for a treat today as we can hear two princesses and princesses of noble status playing together!"
Then someone from the Yan State envoy echoed, "During this mission to the Jin State, I not only saw Princess Xingnong, a young master of formations, break the ancient formations, but also witnessed the grand wedding of the King and Queen of Jin. Now I can also hear the heavenly voices of the two noble princesses and the county lady. After I return to the Yan State, this will be enough for me to brag about in front of my colleagues for the rest of my life!"
... ..
On the stage, Shen Ruoxi's heart lifted when she heard what everyone was saying. What about music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, and songs? Xing Nong has mastered nine orifices, but there is still one orifice that he has not mastered! In short, he has not mastered one orifice!
She quietly pulled the sleeve of the King of Jin and whispered, "Think of a way to refuse! How can Xing Nong know how to play the piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, or songs? My mother taught her how to read."
The King of Jin naturally knew that it was all his fault. He had made his precious princess and her suffer so much. How long was seventeen years? Thinking about Song Ya and then thinking about his own daughter, he felt more and more indebted to Xing Nong and Shen Ruoxi.
He patted her hand, signaling her not to worry.
He wanted to see what kind of monsters and demons wanted to embarrass his baby!
The smile on the King of Jin's face disappeared, and he looked at the person speaking below with an expressionless face.
The ministers of Jin State originally planned to join in the joyous celebration, but they had been living under the tyrant's unreasonable anger for more than ten years, and had long developed the habit of always paying attention to the mood changes of the king of Jin State. When they saw his expression at this moment, they knew that he was angry!
If he says it out loud, that person will definitely be remembered by him!
The ministers pursed their lips tightly to avoid making any sound so as not to attract the tyrant's attention.
As Zhao Luran's senior, Yang Xie naturally knew her plan. He echoed her, "Haha, it's more than just something I can brag about for the rest of my life. I will have no regrets in my life to follow Master Xing Nong and break two ancient formations. If I can also listen to the heavenly music played by Princess Xing Nong, I will die without regrets!"
The King of Jin looked at him coldly. Died without regrets? He fulfilled his wish!
Chu Tiankuo raised his lips slightly with a hint of coldness: "In order for Young Master Yang to return to Zhao alive, Princess Nong had better not play. Of course, it's not a pity if you die, but it's a pity that this happy day will be unlucky because of you."
The King of Jin glanced at Chu Tiankuo and was satisfied with his words.
Yang Xie was choked. Was Chu Tiankuo cursing him to death
He frowned and said in a cold voice: "What does the prince of Chu mean? On the wedding day of the king of Jin, you are talking about bad luck and death? Isn't this just making things difficult for the king of Jin? Who is bringing bad luck to this wedding day?"
Chu Tiankuo: "Of course it's you! You are the one who wants to die without regrets! The song played by Princess Xingnong is certainly enough to make you die without regrets! It's a pity that you are not of high status and are not qualified to listen."
Yang Xie: “… .”
This time I was so angry that I couldn't say anything! I didn't know how to refute him!
Why are you not qualified to listen? This is asking for trouble!
Princess Xingnong played the song for the King and Queen of Jin. After Chu Tiankuo finished listening, he would probably ask himself, "After listening, didn't you say you would die without regrets? Why don't you just die?" Or he would just say he was not qualified to listen and ask him to leave!
In short, he knew very well that no matter what he said, Chu Tiankuo would say something that would embarrass him and make him lose face!
He didn't dare to say any more.
The ministers of Jin State looked at Chu Tiankuo and sighed in their hearts. The rumor that the prince of Chu had a vicious tongue was indeed true!
However, after hearing his words, the tyrant's expression seemed to improve a little!
No wonder Chu Tiankuo can become Princess Xingnong’s future consort!
Shen Hancheng smiled and said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince of Chu is right! Not everyone is qualified to listen to the heavenly voices of the two imperial sisters!"
Shen Hanyu: "That's right! Young Master Yang wants to listen, let your princess play a song for my father, only then you are qualified to listen!"
Other princes: "That's a good idea!"
"Princess Zhao, please come in!"
"I wonder what musical instrument Princess Zhao is good at, so I can ask the palace maids to prepare it!"
Zhao Luran: "..."
She could never have imagined that this would develop into her going on stage to perform!
Xing Nong, who was being protected by others, finally had the chance to interrupt: "Thank you, Princess Zhao!"
Provoke me! I'll let you have a taste of what it's like to be in trouble!
The King of Jin said, "Haha, I heard that Princess Zhao is good at playing the guqin! Someone prepare a guqin for Princess Zhao! As for Songya's kindness, the Queen and I have received it! You and Xingnong are tired and hungry today. Sit down and have a good rest, eat something. If you want to play, you can do it anytime. There is no rush."
Wasn't she hungry and tired all day? Zhao Lu Ran was depressed, gritted her teeth secretly, stood up, and said with a smile: "... Then Lu Ran will show her ugliness!"
Since the King of Jin had spoken, she did not dare to refuse.
Zhao State has fallen to the bottom because of her! If she offends Jin State again, she will have a hard time explaining herself when she returns.
Princess Shengping also knew that the situation was hopeless, and once the emperor spoke, the matter was over!
She didn't argue, but smiled and bowed: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your consideration!"
Then she sat down with a smile. Only she knew that she felt choked up in her heart and felt very aggrieved!
Of course, the emperor can do it anytime, there is no rush! But if he missed today, she would just be a person who knows nothing except the formation, and is inferior to him in everything
If I play the piano in private at that time and the news gets out, there is no guarantee that the emperor will not become suspicious of me. The effect will not be as good as performing now in front of the envoys of the four countries!
But the initiative has been lost, she no longer has any chance!
The guqin was quickly brought in by the eunuch. Zhao Luran took a deep breath, walked up, sat next to the guqin, and played a tune!
Moreover, she played it very seriously, with all her strength, and with great care. She would not dare to play it casually to please the King of Jin.
And she doesn't want to lose her reputation!
In this competition among young formation masters, her reputation is not as high as before!
Zhao Luran’s piano skills are indeed amazing, making people intoxicated and addicted to her piano music.
When the song ended, everyone was still immersed in it. It was not until Xing Nong praised, "The Princess Zhao's piano skills are superb!" that everyone came back to their senses!
Zhao Luran pulled the corner of her mouth and smiled: "Princess Xingnong, you are too kind!"
Then she walked quickly off the stage, worried that someone would ask her to play another song!
After another dance ended, it was already late, so the King of Jin ended the palace banquet.
