The rise of the prince

Chapter 191 The Scheming at the Banquet
"The people who came tonight are all nobles, including the prince Li Yu's family, several grandsons of the emperor, and the nobles in the palace. They are all people who are not usually seen and cannot be reached. I value you by having you as a company, so don't neglect "Mother Tian explained seriously to Shiyu.

Shiyu expressed her understanding, and with the help of the maid, she finished dressing up and walked out of the bedroom with her guqin.

Walking through the aisle with carved windows, the hustle and bustle in front of you immediately fills your ears.

"Xingzhou, uncle, this is the Tingyu Tower that imitated you, and someone made some kind of hot pot in Fumenglou, hahaha. I think this thing is good. Everyone sits together and eats and drinks together without distinction. Rank up, drink to your heart's content."

"That's right, although Xingzhou likes to make trouble, his brain has been brilliant since he was a child."

"Hahaha"

Everyone laughed again, everyone looked happy, bowed in poetry, and two guards with knives informed her, then she opened the door and went in, and when she entered the door from the dark corridor, her eyes suddenly opened up.

The bright light made her feel a little uncomfortable, and she hurriedly bowed: "Little girl Shiyu, I have met all the nobles."

"Hahaha, today is just a casual banquet, so there is no need for so many etiquettes." The host Li Yu said: "Let me introduce to you, this is our Fumenglou headliner, master of poetry, please invite her to sing and sing at today's banquet."

Shiyu bowed again, she glanced at the guests on the round table without a trace, some she knew and some she didn't know, including the prince Li Yu and her wife, the emperor's grandson Li Xingzhou and Li Yu, etc., and there were several people she didn't know .

"All you nobles want to hear, just tell the little girl." Shiyu dressed up, sat down on the stool brought by the maid, and said with a Guqin placed horizontally.

As the host, Li Yu spoke first: "Let's sing "Spring Scenery" by Yan Xiang first."

Shiyu nodded and began to play and sing, and the atmosphere of the banquet was very strong for a while.

She is confident in her piano skills, and her reputation as an oiran is not for nothing.

Everyone squinted their eyes slightly, stopped their chopsticks in their hands, and was already attracted by the sound of the piano. Shiyu felt a little complacent. Looking around, everyone was intoxicated by it. Unknowingly, she took a special look at Li Xingzhou's expression.

It turned out that he was holding a wine glass, half-closed his eyes, and seemed to be listening intently.

For some reason, a strong sense of accomplishment that shouldn't have filled her heart, a smile climbed onto her face, and was quickly covered up. She couldn't help but ask herself in her heart, how could this bastard take pleasure in listening.

At the end of the song, everyone applauded, the youngest daughter of Li Yu's family even enviously said that she wanted to learn piano from her.

Li Yu laughed and said: "It's a pity, the last time Brother Xing wrote poems in the plum garden, it would be better if we invite everyone to sing poetry at this time."

"Hahaha"

Everyone laughed out loud, and thoughtful poetry found that apart from Li Yu, several young people just smirked to accompany the audience, including Li Yu's eldest son Li Feng, and they looked at her from time to time.

Shiyu was happy, she knew that these people were jealous of her
So she deliberately asked the person by name: "I don't know what Prince Xiao wants to hear, but the little girl can play for the world."

Sure enough, as soon as the words came out, everyone's eyes focused on Li Xingzhou. Except for Li Yu, the eyes of several young men were not so friendly.

Shiyu is very satisfied with the effect she has caused, she just wants to isolate Li Xingzhou by her own means.

She has her pride, her ability.

Xiao Wang's son, but he was born in a good family, rich and powerful, so he thought he could bully her whatever he wanted?
From an ignorant girl in an ordinary family, she has gone through untold hardships to reach her current position. All the difficulties, obstacles and difficulties have finally turned into means and skills she is proud of.

When she was a child, her mother often taught her that whether a woman's life is good or not depends on whether she can marry into a good family and find someone she can rely on.

But she just didn't believe it, she never thought of relying on anyone in her life, she only relied on herself.
Shiyu looked at Li Xingzhou who was in a hurry, narrowed his eyes slightly, raised his delicate chin, and showed a charming smile.

"Then cousin Li Yu will order for me, I don't know words very well." The other party said lightly, speaking very naturally, and drank the wine in the glass after speaking.

A poetic smile froze on his face.
With such an understatement, all the embarrassment and hatred are resolved, is it a coincidence?
probably
"Then how about singing "Huanxi Sand", lightly dressed in thin clothes, and looking like a fairy?" Li Yu asked with a happy smile.

Shiyu quickly concealed the expression on his face, nodded and smiled, and then sang, and everyone enjoyed themselves again.

She had a nice voice, she sang movingly, and her piano skills were outstanding, which added to the fun. The banquet became more lively, and everyone was talking and laughing. At this time, she gradually realized an unexpected situation. As the banquet progressed, Li Xinzhou seemed to be the center.

He can speak well, and he is actually very knowledgeable. He can speak all over the world. At first, the few young people who were hostile to him, headed by Li Feng, gradually lost all hostility after listening to him.
The more Shiyu looked at it, the more it felt unreal. Slowly listening to it, I became curious, thinking that this bastard still has these abilities. He almost lost his voice when he was absent-minded, so he hurriedly calmed down and dared not listen to him again.

While everyone was laughing, she vaguely saw people walking in the corridor through the window paper, and there were quite a few people.

The fourth floor of the Fumeng Building is not accessible to ordinary people.

Then, the door was pushed open, and an old man in a vermilion black-edged dress came in with the support of a beautiful lady, and the lively room suddenly became quiet.

Li Yu stood up happily and said: "My child pays homage to Emperor Father and Concubine Mother." Everyone present also knelt down one after another.

Shiyu's heart trembled, and he realized all of a sudden, father emperor, mother concubine?Doesn't that mean that today's emperor still has a concubine Tian!He also quickly put the piano away, and then knelt down.

"Get up, this is a family banquet, you don't need to kneel here and there." The emperor said, everyone stood up, and then quickly ordered tables, chairs, bowls and chopsticks to be added, and surrounded the emperor to sit down.

Although the poems are up, they don't sing any more. They just sit on the side holding the piano, not daring to vent their anger.

The emperor glanced at the table and said: "What kind of food is this, I have never seen it on this table, and this pot is also strange."

Li Yu introduced: "Father, this is a new way of eating that Xingzhou came up with. It's called hot pot. This round table is used for family reunions. Everyone eats while cooking regardless of seating. It's lively, so it's also used today. "

"Oh, Xingzhou?" The emperor glanced at Li Xingzhou.

"This child always has some whimsical ideas, and he has given me a lot of advice recently. You are arrogant and arrogant. You used it in the right place. You used to be arrogant and arrogant, but you always use it in places where you don't know how to learn, which makes me worry. "

Seeing Li Xingzhou cupping his hands to thank him, Shiyu frowned beautifully, it seems that the rumors that he has won the favor of God are indeed true.

"Everyone talks while eating, don't be cautious. I didn't want to come because I was afraid that you juniors would be cautious. This is a family, so you can relax to your heart's content for ordinary family banquets." The emperor said.

After he spoke, the banquet continued as usual, but it was not as lively as before.

The emperor asked east and west, and the juniors answered honestly. Although they were not formal, how could they not be cautious when the emperor was present.

Li Ye drank the wine in his glass and ate the boiled mutton, and verified his thoughts. Sure enough, the emperor just treated him as a child, so he didn't listen to those words.

Thinking about it, he almost forgot that he only officially turned sixteen this year. It's like a little kid suddenly discussing state affairs with the ****, and it would be strange if he would take care of him.
That's the downside of age.

After the emperor asked, Concubine Tian said, "Xingzhou, what exactly did you give to the Queen Mother on her birthday last time?"

Li Ye was immersed in drinking and eating with Li Yu, he was overjoyed when he heard this, he had been waiting for this question for a long time.
