Shen Weining clenched her hands into fists, and the handkerchief in her hands became wrinkled due to her movements.
Everyone's eyes were on her, obviously waiting for her to fulfill their bet.
Shen Weining, who originally wanted to make things difficult for Jiang Jingyu, was now riding a tiger and had no choice but to bite the bullet.
She gritted her teeth and stared at Jiang Jingyu, opening her red lips.
"I, Shen Weining, am a waste. I am not as good as Jiang Jingyu. I deserve to be stepped on by Jiang Jingyu for the rest of my life!"
Jiang Jingyu took out his ears and said, "Strange, where are the mosquitoes buzzing?"
"Pfft~"
The ladies covered their mouths and smiled softly, because they thought Shen Weining's voice was too small!
"you!"
"Shen Weining, if you admit defeat, show your attitude of surrender. I heard that the emperor hates people who are coy and coquettish."
Shen Weining's eyes were red with anger, and he said again: "I, Shen Weining, am a waste. I am not as good as Jiang Jingyu. I deserve to be stepped on by Jiang Jingyu for the rest of my life!"
This time the sound was much louder than before, and it reached the ears of everyone present clearly.
Jiang Jingyu curled her lips: "Yes, and one last time, the emperor likes people with loud voices the most."
Jiang Jingyu finally understood that as long as the emperor was mentioned, Shen Weining would obediently do it and it worked every time.
Shen Weining's anger reached its peak and he roared: "I, Shen Weining, am a waste. I am not as good as Jiang Jingyu. I deserve to be stepped on by Jiang Jingyu for the rest of my life!"
The sound was so loud that even the palace people sweeping outside the door heard it and turned around frequently.
"Very good. Miss Shen is indeed a person of her word. If you want to bet again in the future, just ask, and I will definitely stay with you until the end."
After Shen Weining fulfilled the bet, Jiang Jingyu didn't stay long, left these words lightly, and walked out of Chuxiu Palace.
The other beautiful ladies glanced at Shen Weining and walked out one after another, fearing that Shen Weining would hold a grudge against them again.
After Jiang Jingyu and all the beautiful ladies walked out of the Chuxiu Palace, only Shen Weining and the last beautiful lady were left in the hall.
The beautiful lady rolled her eyes and walked towards Shen Weining: "Sister, don't be angry, it's not worth being angry with someone like her."
Shen Weining frowned and looked at the person coming: "Who are you? What are you talking about about the matter between me and Jiang Jingyu?"
The man choked on his words and his expression froze slightly.
Then he introduced his identity: "To my sister, I am Liu Linlang, the daughter of the cabinet minister."
Shen Weining showed disdain. A girl of the sixth grade was worthy of talking to her?
Shen Weining rolled her eyes at the man, not wanting to say anything more to her, so she walked toward the palace door.
Liu Linlang's eyes dimmed behind her and she said, "Aren't you afraid that someone will take your place as the lead dancer at the palace banquet?"
Shen Weining paused on the spot and turned around slowly: "What do you mean? Aunt Rong just said that I will be the lead dancer. Could it be that you want to steal it from me?"
Liu Linlang: "..."
Finally I know why Shen Weining can't beat Jiang Jingyu. This brain...
If she couldn't find the right person, she wouldn't bother to associate with this idiot Shen Weining!
Liu Linlang walked up to Shen Weining with a smile: "My sister has outstanding talents and is a well-deserved candidate to be the lead dancer. How can I humiliate myself and compete with my sister for the position of the lead dancer?"
Shen Weining snorted coldly: "You are self-aware!"
Liu Linlang continued to be persuasive: "I will not compete with my sister for the position of the lead dancer, but others... that may not be the case."
Shen Weining frowned, and the beautiful girls who had just demonstrated their piano skills flashed through his mind, and he said confidently: "That's impossible, they are not qualified to compete with me for the position of lead dancer!"
"What about Jiang Jingyu?" Liu Linlang said calmly: "Jiang Jingyu's piano-art sister also heard it, and even Aunt Rong praised it. If she wants to be the lead dancer, does sister think Aunt Rong will agree?"
After saying this, Shen Weining's face suddenly became serious, and a sense of crisis suddenly arose in his heart.
Seeing this, Liu Linlang continued to add jealousy: "The emperor loves to listen to the piano the most. How many concubines in the harem practice piano skills hard to gain the emperor's favor. If Jiang Jingyu gets the position of leading dancer and plays the piano at the palace banquet, my sister feels that with her piano Will Yi gain the emperor's favor?"
Because Emperor Yu loved to listen to the sound of the piano, the lead dancer usually found the person with the best piano skills to play the piano at palace banquets.
Thinking of Jiang Jingyu's piano skills, Shen Weining, who had always been confident in his piano skills, became a little uneasy.
"No! I will definitely not let that bitch take away the position of the lead dancer! The only person who can lead the dance is I, Shen Weining!"
Liu Linlang's eyes flashed slightly: "In that case, my sister is willing to help her..."
…
It was night, and the sky poured down like splashing ink.
In the Yangxin Hall, Di Yu was dealing with the zhezi in his hand.
The right hand side is full of processed folds, and the left hand side only has a few unprocessed ones.
At this time, a young eunuch came in. Eunuch Su stepped forward and took the ginseng soup from the young eunuch's hand.
"Your Majesty has not had dinner yet, please drink some ginseng soup first."
"Let's leave it there first, I have no appetite."
Emperor Yu didn't even raise his head and continued to deal with the pieces in his hands.
Eunuch Su opened his mouth and finally put the ginseng soup aside.
He looked at Emperor Yu who was busy dealing with the matter in front of him with confusion. Although the emperor was diligent, he never sat in the Yangxin Hall to deal with government affairs after leaving court like now.
Could it be that there have been a lot of government affairs recently and the emperor is afraid that he won't be able to handle them all?
Eunuch Su, who had always been thoughtful and considerate, could not figure out what Emperor Yu was thinking at the moment.
But if Emperor Yu didn't mention it, Eunuch Su wouldn't interfere. His duty was to take good care of the emperor's health and help take care of the affairs of the Yangxin Palace and other palaces. For the rest, as long as Emperor Yu didn't take the initiative to say anything. , Eunuch Su will not ask any more questions.
As everyone in the Yangxin Hall waited, Emperor Yu finally laid down the last memorial.
As soon as Emperor Yu put down the book in his hand, Eunuch Su asked, "Your Majesty, do you want to have a meal?"
Emperor Yu brushed his broad sleeves and stood up.
"No, I'm not hungry yet."
Eunuch Su asked hurriedly: "Your Majesty, do you want to show off your harem?"
"I'm going to the piano room tonight, you don't have to follow me."
After Di Yu finished speaking, he strode out of the Yangxin Palace, leaving the palace guests to look at each other.
After Di Yu left the Yangxin Hall, a young eunuch walked up to Eunuch Su and asked doubtfully: "Godfather, the emperor has been resting in the piano room for the past two days, but he thought of Concubine Xian Hui again?"
Eunuch Su's heart sank slightly, and he pursed his lips and said, "The matter of Concubine Xian Hui has always been a knot in the emperor's heart. You should be more careful when serving her these days, and you must not bring any trouble to the emperor."
"Yes, my son will remember his godfather's words."
"Take away the ginseng soup."
"yes."
…
After leaving the Yangxin Hall, Emperor Yu went directly to the piano room.
There was still no lamp in the piano room, so he took advantage of the moonlight and came to sit in front of Duyou Qin.
The sharp-knuckled fingers were placed on the strings, and the lingering sound of the piano last night came to mind again.
Will she... come to the piano room again tonight?
