As soon as Princess Rong Hui's maid left, the token of drumming and passing flowers fell into the hands of the young lady, and then the drumming suddenly stopped.
Everyone's eyes were gathered. The young lady stood up with a shy face. She bowed to everyone, then suddenly turned towards Liu Yingxue and said, "I choose Miss Liu."
As soon as the young lady finished speaking, everyone in the hall looked at her in surprise, obviously very surprised.
In order to increase the entertainment and some unspeakable purposes, there is usually an additional rule when beating drums and passing flowers at palace banquets. The person who gets the flowers can choose one of the people present to compete at will, and the chosen person can choose to admit defeat. , but that will undoubtedly be despised and despised by everyone, which is more embarrassing than losing in the competition, so most of the people who are selected will bite the bullet, even if they lose, it is better than admitting defeat directly.
Liu Yingxue can be hailed as the most talented woman in the capital. Naturally, she has some real abilities. She is outstanding in all aspects of music, chess, calligraphy and painting. If she is chosen, she will most likely be reduced to a foil or even a laughing stock. Therefore, it is rare for any young lady to do so. Take the initiative to choose Liu Yingxue.
Under normal circumstances, the person who wins the lottery will choose someone who is weaker than themselves, and most of them are people who have a bit of trouble with each other, but this lady chose Liu Yingxue, which really puzzled everyone.
I heard the young lady continue to say: "I know I can't compare with Miss Liu, but I have always admired Miss Liu. Not only is she proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, but she also has a gentle and kind temperament. Recently I heard that Miss Liu has mastered a new song It’s an ancient song, so I want to take this opportunity to feast my ears on it, and I hope Miss Liu won’t be offended.”
Seeing that she was speaking sincerely, everyone bowed to Liu Yingxue and realized that she didn't really want to challenge Liu Yingxue. Maybe she was just curious to hear the ancient song, that's all, right?
However, Liu Yingxue actually practiced an ancient song, which made everyone curious as to which ancient song it was.
Under the attention of everyone, Liu Yingxue smiled elegantly, stood up and returned the salute, with a soft and melodious voice: "Miss Zhu is so complimentary, Miss Zhu please go first."
Seeing Liu Yingxue's gentle and dignified appearance, everyone nodded and secretly praised her. This Miss Liu is not the most famous talented woman in Beijing. She is worthy of this title in every move she makes. She is worthy of being a daughter trained by the Liu family, and her brother. Liu Zimo, in general, is a rare person.
Seeing Liu Yingxue's response, many young masters in the palace looked fascinated and looked forward to her performance later.
Liu Yingxue was the ideal wife of many young masters in the capital, but no one had been able to capture her heart so far.
Miss Zhu's performance was to compose a poem on the spot. Her literary talent was remarkable and it was considered a good work. However, everyone was looking forward to Liu Yingxue's performance at this time, so everyone's reaction to the poem was mediocre.
However, although Miss Zhu was a little regretful, she also knew that she was just a stepping stone for her, so she bowed generously and gracefully and left, waiting for Liu Yingxue to appear.
Liu Yingxue attracted everyone's attention as soon as she got married. As the legitimate daughter of Prime Minister Liu and the most talented woman in the capital, she has always been the focus of everyone's attention. Which house she will marry in the end has always been a hot topic. topic.
Thinking of the rumors that have been circulating in the past six months, everyone subconsciously glanced at Prince An. Seeing that Prince An did not have the slightest reaction because of Liu Yingxue's appearance, he was still focused on Princess An, and they suddenly revealed their emotions. There were complicated expressions, some were happy, others were unhappy, and some even secretly said that Prince An was really short-sighted. He did not choose Liu Yingxue, a noble girl with unparalleled talents, but instead chose someone who was vulgar and humble, with only good looks but no talent. Country girl.
At this time, Princess An, who was looked down upon by everyone, glanced at Liu Yingxue who was on stage, and looked at the man next to her with a smile on her face: "Your Majesty, Miss Liu is on stage."
"What did you call me?" Wu Zechen didn't even raise his head. He even focused on something different. He asked persistently while picking out the fish bones in the dish and handing it to her hand.
Xia Luotong was helpless. This man was particularly obsessed with addressing people recently, and he didn't know where the problem came from.
She had no choice but to ask him again: "Achen, Miss Liu is going to perform on stage, why don't you just watch?"
"That's enough for you." He looked at her with a smile and motioned for her to try the fish.
Wu Zechen's reaction obviously made her quite satisfied. With a flying smile on her face, she picked up the fish and tasted it. After nodding with satisfaction, she asked persistently again: "She wants to perform the piano art."
"How can she compare with you? I only listen to you playing the piano." He picked up the handkerchief and wiped the corners of her mouth, and never moved his eyes away from her.
She finally showed a satisfied smile and asked him again: "When do you think I will be called?"
She had always felt that today's palace banquet would not be peaceful, and someone would definitely jump out and want to embarrass her during this performance, so she had been waiting until now, when she saw Liu Yingxue on stage, she was a little concerned. I have a hunch that this moment won't be too far away.
"No matter when, you will always be the best in my heart."
After Xia Luotong glanced at Liu Yingxue at the beginning, he stopped looking there and only talked to Wu Zechen, and Wu Zechen did the same.
Everyone saw how Prince An and his wife were having fun with each other. Prince An never took his eyes away from Princess An for a moment. Her gentle appearance was really eye-opening for everyone!
It has been nearly five months since Prince An returned to the capital, but now it is the first time I see him smiling, and this look only appears in front of Princess An!
Rumor has it that Prince An really doesn’t like Princess An? Dislike her, despise her?
At this moment, everyone had strong doubts about the past rumors. If they really hated someone, how could they show such a look? This smiling and tender look doesn’t look fake at all!
What's more, a person like Prince An doesn't even bother to act with others. He doesn't even pretend to be in front of the emperor!
In addition, it was previously rumored that Princess An was ugly, and now it seems that this rumor is even more nonsense! If Princess An is so beautiful and ugly, then who else in the capital is good-looking? !
From this point of view, those rumors may have been deliberately spread by some people, and they have no credibility at all!
Many people with flexible minds immediately thought of Liu Yingxue who was preparing to play on the stage.
If the rumors between Prince An and Princess An are not credible, then what about the rumors between Prince An and Liu Yingxue...?
