Prosperous Concubine

Chapter 36
His sharp eyes saw Mu Yutang walking steadily forward, he was slightly taken aback, then smiled and said: "It turns out that the beautiful woman has an appointment, no wonder she is late!"

Xiao Qingyu looked at Mu Yutang's disappearing figure, smiled lightly, noncommittal, and there were bursts of noise in his ears.

"Xiao Shizi, it's really Xiao Shizi...!"

"Yes, yes, Prince Xiao has lived in Xuechen Tower for three years, and finally came out..."

The eyes of all the daughters were almost all focused on him, her pretty face was flushed, the shock and admiration that could not be concealed shone in her beautiful eyes, her heart was pounding, and she peeked at him from time to time: Is your hair neat?Are the clothes modest?Will Xiao Shizi notice himself...

Looking at the peach hearts flying in Qianjin Shan's beautiful eyes, Mu Yunjia, who was sitting next to Chen Jing, gritted his teeth angrily. Xiao Shizi is the most beautiful woman in the capital, a group of vulgar fans, and even let Xiao Shizi take a second look. He doesn't even have any skills, and he still wants to rob someone with himself, daydreaming.

As for my rival in love, there is only one right now, and that is Mu Yutang. As long as she is there, Shizi Xiao will not stop looking at him. He must think of a way to remove this annoying stumbling block.

The beautiful sound of the qin is like gurgling water, ding ding dong dong, flowing to the end, and the long tail is floating in the air with a touch of qin fragrance, clear and bright, which makes people have endless aftertaste.

Mu Yutang looked at the girl playing the piano. She had a beautiful face and was dignified and generous. It was Li Siling, the daughter of the Minister of Rites. She stood up gracefully, and bowed gracefully in the direction of the queen and concubines: "Your servant is showing your shame!"

"Si Ling's piano sound is elegant and calm, just like your temperament, the writing is quiet, and the fingering is as skillful as flowing water, which makes the music a higher level..." Concubine Jiang commented with a smile, her gentle eyebrows and eyes are amiable.

The imperial concubine is the best at guqin, her praise is affirmation of her piano skills, Li Siling was happy in her heart, and still said modestly: "Your Majesty's praise, Si Ling is ashamed!"

"When Si Ling was playing the piano, he was distracted. One note was too long and the tone was almost wrong. The key to playing the piano is calmness, peace of mind, and no distracting thoughts. Although Si Ling's piano skills are good, he is not yet a qualified piano player. Sister Noble Concubine She is only praised, but not corrected and encouraged, it is indeed a compliment."

Wearing colorful brocade clothes, the queen was graceful and luxurious, sitting high on the jade chair, pointing out Concubine Jiang's mistakes unceremoniously.

The smile on the corner of Concubine Jiang's mouth froze, and then she said with a smile: "My sister is serious, Si Ling is only 14 years old, and she is still a child who is not as good as Ji, so she shouldn't be too strict..."

"Sister's words are wrong. As the saying goes, strict teachers lead to high-level apprentices, and children living in nobles are not ordinary people, and they must be strict in everything, so that they will become pillars when they grow up..."

The empress and Concubine Jiang refuted each other with sharp words and eloquent words. Noble ladies and daughters could not intervene or dare to intervene. They all lowered their heads and sipped their fragrant tea in silence.

The identities of the Empress and Concubine Jiang are only one step away. One of them gave birth to a noble prince, and the other gave birth to a third prince with extraordinary ability. They are each other's greatest enemies. After more than ten years in the palace, neither of them would give in easily. , In the harem, the world is turned upside down.

During the flower viewing feast, the two were also secretly fighting with excuses. Unfortunately, Li Siling became the fuse of their struggle, standing in the flowers with a pale face and awkwardness, neither leaving nor staying.

Mu Yunjia's eyes flickered slightly, the empress and Concubine Jiang were fighting secretly, whoever got involved would become their pawn, extremely unlucky, why didn't she push Mu Yutang into the fire pit, and use the hands of the empress and concubine to kill her!
A cruel smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she said loudly: "My sister has always liked the guqin, and Jiaowei, which is rare in a hundred years, is here, do you want to go and play it?"

The delicate and pretty voice spread out in the quiet imperial garden, Xiao Qingyu's eyes were fixed, his obsidian pupils were as deep as the vast sea, he picked up a glass of wine to drink lightly, and the wind blew his white clothes , a kitten appeared at the feet, its small snowball-like body curled up into a ball, sleeping soundly.

The eyes of the bored ladies and daughters lit up, and they looked at Mu Yutang one after another. The harem fight, others are afraid to avoid it, but there are still people who dare to face the wind, let's see which idiot it is!

The Queen and Concubine Jiang also stopped arguing and looked over.

It was the first time for Mu Yutang to attend a palace banquet. Many noble ladies and daughters did not know her. It was also the first time for the empress and Concubine Jiang to see her. Looking at where she was sitting, the empress said in a faint voice, "Are you the daughter of Duke Mu's mansion?"

Mu Yutang stood up slowly, and saluted politely: "Go back to Empress Empress, my servant, Mu Yutang, is the eldest daughter of Duke Mu's mansion!"

The indifferent, elegant and calm demeanor of a daughter makes no mistake. The queen looked at her with a half-smile: "Do you want to play the guqin?"

Mu Yutang glanced at Mu Yunjia from the corner of her eyes, sneered in her heart, but pretended to be a little embarrassed and said: "Go back to your mother, my servant can't play the piano!"

The imperial garden was silent, and the stupefied people were full of sarcasm, they couldn't play the qin, so what guqin do you want to see?
Mu Yunjia smiled complacently. Of course she knew that Mu Yutang didn't know how to play the piano. It was because she knew that she pushed Mu Yutang into this maelstrom. Noble people love elegance and hate vulgar people the most. Mu Yutang admitted frankly If I don't know how to play the piano, the empress, concubine Jiang, all the noble ladies and daughters will be disgusted with and reject her, let's see how proud she is.

A woman in green sneered disdainfully: "Qin is an elegant thing. Playing it cultivates one's self-cultivation. As the daughter of Duke Mu's family, you don't know how to play the piano. It's really vulgar."

"Madam said that a woman is virtuous without talent, so I didn't learn the piano!" Mu Yutang explained softly, her eyes full of innocence, and she sneered in her heart: Mu Yunjia deliberately troubled her, so of course she has to return some serious courtesy, otherwise, How can it be worthy of the painstaking efforts of others.

As we all know, Mu Guogong’s original wife died young, and the current mistress is his flat wife Chen Jing. The wife Mu Yutang mentioned naturally refers to her. Aristocratic women pay attention to both virtue and ability, and are proud of being proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry and poetry. Chen Jing actually taught her ex-wife's daughter-in-law to be a mediocre girl with no talent or morals. She has no good intentions.

The contemptuous and mocking eyes of the noble ladies and daughters fell on Chen Jing, and her complexion instantly darkened. Yun Jia pushed Mu Yutang into the vortex, and she actually pulled herself in. It's really abominable, caught between the queen and Jiang Guifei. It's not a good thing to be a chess piece in between, she must clear herself as soon as possible.

The corners of her mouth turned up, and she forced a smile: "At the beginning, it was Yutang who said she didn't like learning the piano, so I didn't hire a piano teacher for you..."

"Madam tells me every day that ignorance is virtue. I firmly believe it. Naturally, I don't want to learn it. Madam, you will not forget what you said." Mu Yutang interrupted her, blinking her beautiful eyes. Blinking, the eyes are extremely innocent.

The eyes of everyone looking at Chen Jing changed from ridicule to disdain. Her own daughter has been raised with great talent, and her original daughter has been raised to be a layman. Just now, it was her talented daughter who suggested that her sister who didn't know how to play the piano played the piano. People make a fool of themselves.
