Chen Anning thought she heard wrongly and asked her to say it again.
Hua Jin could only blush and said it again.
After hearing this, Chen Anning was silent for a while and then said, "You'd better go jump into the lake."
"What?" Hua Jin didn't hear clearly.
Princess Tongchang glanced at Chen Anning and then at her. After forbearing, she finally reminded her kindly: "Miss Chen asked you to jump into the lake. Maybe the opportunity will come faster."
Hua Jin was puzzled.
Princess Tongchang shook her head with pity and reminded again: "First of all, I want to make it clear that I didn't mean to slap you in the face. It's just that you don't understand, so I kindly reminded you. You said that as long as Miss Chen Er saves Miss Wen , you will never pester Mr. Xie again, right?"
Hua Jin said yes.
Princess Tongchang asked: "But when you said this, have you ever thought that if you use this to make a deal with Miss Chen Er, you must at least have a prerequisite, that is, if you pester Mr. Xie to deal with Chen Er, The lady caused the crisis, right?”
"But the fact is that Mr. Xie is not even willing to return to the Guangling Palace in order to avoid you."
"So, instead of threatening Miss Chen Er with this condition, why not threaten Master Xie. In order to save trouble, Master Xie might come to Miss Chen Er and ask her to rescue Miss Wen to get rid of you."
Hua Jin's face turned even redder.
But soon, she seemed to have made some kind of decision. After taking a deep breath, she said: "In two days, it will be the betrothal gift of Miss Chen Er and her third cousin. After the betrothal gift, Miss Chen Er can also be regarded as a member of the Guangling Palace." No matter whether my conditions can cause a crisis to Miss Chen Er, Miss Chen Er must not want to see the Guangling Palace in trouble, right?"
Chen Anning looked at her and asked sarcastically: "In order to protect yourself, you can abandon the Guangling Palace?"
Perhaps Wen Yating's increasingly urgent condition was weighing on her. Hearing Chen Anning's words, Hua Jin blurted out almost without thinking: "Isn't this the result you want?"
Princess Tongchang:...
Both sisters are hopelessly stupid.
Hua Jin regretted it as soon as he said it.
Seeing Chen Anning's mocking expression, she hurriedly said: "I was too outspoken. Please forgive me, Miss Chen Er."
"Miss Wen will not die within three to five days." Chen Anning said slowly, "It's completely late for you to ask the imperial doctor now."
Hua Jin's eyes lit up slightly, "Seriously?"
Chen Anning looked at her with a half-smile.
Hua Jin bowed his hands to her and walked away quickly.
Princess Tongchang looked at her back and shook her head again, "It's no wonder Sir Xie doesn't like her. She speaks and acts without thinking. To say stupid is to praise her."
Hua Rong and Wen Yating spoke so unpleasantly before.
Chen Anning was unwilling to treat them, but clearly wanted to teach them a lesson.
As long as she has some brains, she knows that Chen Anning asked her to ask the imperial doctor, even if the imperial doctor was not able to cure Wen Yating's illness.
But she...
I actually went there believing it was true.
Chen Anning said calmly: "Don't look back until you hit the wall. If she wants to go, just let her go."
Princess Tongchang was just expressing her feelings. From her position, she would definitely not mention Hua Jin again.
After drinking two sips of tea and eating a few mouthfuls of fruits, Princess Tongchang's eyes naturally fell on the stage in the middle of the lake.
Another young lady started to perform.
The two people were sitting closer to the stage than the previous pavilion.
Princess Tongchang looked at the dancing lady and asked Chen Anning: "Do you want to go up and give it a try?"
Phew.
Two bursts of laughter sounded from outside the pavilion where the two of them were.
Princess Tongchang looked back.
The lady in purple clothes outside the pavilion was not frightened, "I wonder what the princess plans to ask Miss Chen Er to try?"
Princess Tongchang did not speak.
Miss Ziyi said: "I heard that Miss Chen Er grew up in the countryside before coming to the capital. Were there teachers in the countryside who taught music, chess, calligraphy and painting?"
Chen Anning didn't take her to heart at first, but after hearing these words, she couldn't help but turn around.
Miss Ziyi looked at her: "I wonder what Miss Chen Er knows about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting?"
Chen Anning said: "You want to compete with me?"
"It's not about competition." Miss Ziyi said reservedly, "But if Miss Chen Er is willing, I can give you some advice."
Chen Anning pressed Princess Tongchang's hand and asked, "How are you going to give me advice?"
"Then we have to see how good you are first." Miss Ziyi glanced at the stage in the middle of the lake. "If you don't go up and show off first, how dare you or not?"
"Since you want to teach me," Chen Anning said calmly, "you have to show me your level. Why don't you go up and show it first."
"Okay." After the purple-clothed lady graciously agreed, she turned around and headed towards the stage in the middle of the lake.
She is not afraid that Chen Anning will regret it.
Anyway, there were six or seven ladies who were enjoying it with her.
If she goes back on her word, it will be her who will be embarrassed if her words get out.
"This is Meng Zheng, the fourth daughter of the Imperial Academy's Director Ye Mengang. She is nineteen this year." Looking at her back, Princess Tongchang introduced in a low voice, "I heard that she admires the Crown Prince very much and has been working for the Crown Prince till now. They are not engaged, but Crown Prince Xie seems to despise her. I guess she did it intentionally by provoking you like this. The purpose may be to attract Crown Prince Xie’s attention, or it may be because she is jealous that you can marry into the Guangling Palace."
Chen Anning nodded thoughtfully.
Princess Tongchang glanced at the group of ladies who had not left with Meng Zheng, and whispered again: "Miss Meng Si is known as a talented woman, you... should be careful."
Good luck to Chen Anning.
Meng Zheng came on the court quickly.
She is also worthy of the name of a talented woman.
The young ladies who were playing everywhere saw her and immediately gathered around the lake shore.
When the group of ladies who had never left saw this grand occasion, they immediately looked at each other and then three of them quietly dispersed.
Princess Tongchang has been paying attention to their movements.
Seeing this move, he immediately snorted coldly.
Chen Anning did not comfort her.
Because strength is always more intuitive to prove with facts than with words.
Meng Zheng was not in a hurry to perform, but directed the maids to play the piano, tune the zither, try the flute, pick the pipa, choose ink, make paper, etc.
Obviously, she planned to show it in all aspects.
Nearly two cups of tea passed.
More and more girls are gathering around the lake shore.
And after the promotion of the few ladies who left quietly, there were more and more comments.
From the glances that came from time to time, Chen Anning sensed their gloating.
"It's begun." Someone said something, and then the sound of the piano started.
It plays like mountains and flowing water.
After Chen Anjing listened for a while, she couldn't help but nodded: She is indeed a talented woman. She really has two brushes, and her tunes are much more pleasant than the previous Miss Xu Wu.
"No wonder my mother asked me to imitate her." Princess Tongchang sighed.
Finish playing the piano.
Meng Zheng sat in front of the guzheng again.
It still plays like mountains and flowing water.
interesting.
Chen Anning couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth.
After the guzheng, it’s the pipa again, and as expected, it’s the same high mountains and flowing water.
Then the flute remains.
After finishing, she stood up and bowed her hands in Chen Anning's direction. Immediately afterwards, she stood in front of the desk, polished the ink calmly, and wrote the four words "high mountains and flowing water" in one breath. Then she quickly stood in front of the white paper next to her and drew a picture of high mountains and flowing water.
after finishing.
She washed her hands in the copper basin brought by the maid, then left the stage in the middle of the lake, walked to Chen Anning, and said softly: "It's your turn."
