First Class Concubine

Chapter 41

"Well, it's better not to say this." Qi Jing shook her head.

Miss Lin didn't know what to say, so she asked again: "Why is it hard to say? I saw Miss Su smiling heartily, if I said it, we would all be happy together."

When Qijing looked at her again, it was meaningful.This Miss Lin, who is so persistent, is targeting her.Or came for Yu Qingyan?

But Yu Qingyan recovered now, and also came to force her: "Yanran is right, if there is something interesting about Sister Qijing, let us have fun by telling it."

Qijing shook her head: "It's really hard to talk about what I've thought of. I've said it, I'm afraid some people will be unhappy. Besides, I just laugh, but I may not be happy!"

"Then I need to talk more about it. I don't know what's going on here, His Highness, that makes Miss Su smile, but is unhappy."

His Highness the Second Highness came here accompanied by King Jing. Of course, His Highness the Fourth Highness came with him.

It stands to reason that he would be out of place wherever he travels like this.But he didn't care about it at all, and asked someone to carry the walking chariot directly to the edge of Qijing.

"I've met the Second Highness, the Fourth Highness, King Jing's son."

Everyone met again, and then His Royal Highness repeated the old story.Everyone looked like I was looking forward to it, so Qijing had no choice but to say: "Qingyan introduced those chrysanthemums to me before...the pots and pots are all high-quality goods, and all of them are rare. Later, Qingyan said that she is willing to put Give me two pots of those precious flowers."

"But I don't like chrysanthemums the most today. I just thought that Madam Su's place in our mansion might be able to put two pots of chrysanthemums. I never thought that Qingyan is very thoughtful. It's already ready... Madam Su has it, two The Miss and the Old Madam also have them. Naturally, there will be no shortage of them in the Yu family..."

She looked at Yu Qingyan very innocently: "Qingyan is considerate in everything, so I nodded. But then I thought, Qingyan said that these flowers are so rare and given so generously, could it be that she is lying to me? Another thought, and I don't think so. That's why I shook my head. Then I thought, the chrysanthemums sent to Su's and Yu's families are not as precious as the ones here... I figured it out, so I nodded naturally. I also felt that this matter, Qingyan got the best of both worlds, and they were very happy together. So they laughed!"

"..."

"..."

After listening to her long series of explanations, everyone was speechless except for being speechless.And everyone looked at Sister Yu Qingyan and the second prince with more searching and meaningful eyes.

Yu Qingyan's face turned pale and then blue, blue and then red, red and then white.

Not to mention whether the thing she is doing is the best of both worlds, the second prince's mansion holds a flower banquet, and her sister-in-law is giving flowers around, and she looks like a hostess... It's already intriguing!
The second prince's concubine looked at Yu Qingyan with a very ugly expression.And there is no trust and joy before, but more precaution and fear.

The second prince looked at Yu Qingyan with a somewhat gloomy expression, and when he looked at Qijing, he felt a little regretful and expectant.Sweeping the chariot again, a gleam flashed in his eyes.

He raised his voice and said with a smile: "Miss Su really likes to joke! Well, it's almost time now, why don't you all express your thoughts and feelings, so as to live up to this good time!"

Everyone echoed, and Yu Qingyan was pulled aside by her younger sister, spreading paper and picking up a pen, not knowing whether to paint or write poetry.

For a moment, only Qijing, the fourth prince, and King Jing's son were left in the pavilion.

"A-Tai is not going?" the fourth prince finally asked.

As soon as he opened his mouth, Qijing's eyes lit up.It was only the light of fireflies, but now it looks like the brilliance of pearls and jade.King Jing's son looked at it and felt dazzled, but he didn't take it seriously.

He just said to the fourth prince: "I have no intentions, why waste paper and ink." I also know that I am annoying people here, "However, I am a little curious about their literary talents, so I will go and have a look. Brother Sihuang Want to be together?"

"No, I don't know half of these people. Books... I haven't read much either. Look, it's better not to read."

Prince Jing smiled and walked away.

As soon as he left, the fourth prince's hand stretched out from the veil, and tightly grasped her hand.As if afraid of being snatched away: "Do you feel bored?"

"It's very interesting!" Qi Jing smiled and leaned against him: "How do you feel? Are you tired? Do you want to go back and rest first?"

"I haven't walked a step, how can I be tired?"

Qijing sighed: "But I always feel that it is hard work for you to talk. Otherwise, I will let you read to me."

"Is that why you want to listen to me read?"

"I think." If possible, she really wanted to get Shakespeare's sonnets out for him to read to her every day.

"..." The fourth prince smiled silently because of her directness.But it is indescribably happy and happy.

Yu Qingyan looked at the two people in the pavilion, and gave those around her a wink.

Immediately, a few people quietly left the crowd and walked slowly towards the pavilion.Seeing the two of them, he greeted the fourth prince generously, and showed great curiosity about Qijing.

"This is Miss Su, right? It's better to be famous than to meet her. She really is Zhong Lingyuxiu, as expected of a beautiful person raised by natural mountains and rivers. My name is Zhong Qi, and my grandfather is the Minister of Rites. From now on, we can play together."

"Miss Zhong." He stretched out his hand without slapping the smiling face. If he came over politely, Qijing would naturally return politely.

"This one is Guo Xiu, the daughter of Mr. Guo, a scholar in charge of the Imperial Academy, and this one is Wang Zhen, the daughter of Qin Tianjian Jianzheng. Please don't blame Miss Su for disturbing me."

"It doesn't matter." Qi Jing looked at the Fourth Prince and broke his hand away from him.

The fourth prince is dissatisfied, but he is not good at getting involved in these women's matters.He just snorted coldly to show his dissatisfaction, but he didn't leave as they expected.

The faces of the three girls were slightly stiff, and their smiles were a little unnatural.

Wang Zhen was quite lively, and she jumped to Qi Jing's side very familiarly, and reached out to take her arm.

Qijing subconsciously gave way, and avoided it.

"I'm used to staying in the mountains, and I dare not let anything touch them." Qijing smiled at Wang Zhen: "You don't know, there are a lot of poisons in this mountain, and if you touch a flower or a grass, you might be able to kill it." Killing."

Seeing the sudden changes in the faces of the three of them, she touched her sleeve and coughed.This time, she really wasn't insinuating.

Wang Zhen's complexion became very ugly, and she was no longer lively: "Miss Su, come back. Perhaps I don't know, there is a rule in this flower banquet. Every person who comes for the first time must perform a talent." Woolen cloth!"

Qijing looked at the other two, and they also nodded: "There are such rules. However, don't worry about it. When I came here, I didn't prepare anything. I played a song impromptu, and they made fun of me for a long time!"

"Yeah, I was the same at the beginning...Miss Su doesn't have to care. No one will force anything, that's what it means."

Zhong Qi glanced at the walking chariot, after all, she didn't say anything too harsh.Don't dare to be too excited!In case the Fourth Prince really got his attention, and instead of marrying Miss Su, marrying them, there would be no place to cry.

"Sister Qijing has already thought about it, what are you going to perform?" Seeing that the situation here has been uncertain for a long time, Yu Qingyan brought another group of people over.

I don't know if it was an appointment, but as soon as she came, someone from the male guest also leaned over.

"Don't worry, isn't there still a lot of people who haven't performed yet?"

"That's right. I think my sister is planning to become a blockbuster and overwhelm the audience. Forget it, let her attract others first. Let my sister's talent be the finale." The second princess laughed.A malicious light flashed in his eyes.

…………

Then, various demonstrations began.

First, poems and paintings were circulated throughout the audience.Need to judge for the first time and wait until it comes out... Then there is singing and dancing talent.

Those who dance, those who play the piano and sing songs, and so on.Wang Zhen and Guo Xiu, one played the piano and the other sang.The cooperation is very good...

Qijing heard half of it, and turned to look at the mantle: "What do you want me to perform?" The meaning is very clear, I am performing for you,
The fourth prince was really happy: "Let's play the piano then!" He said again: "At least after practicing for seven or eight days, I can meet people."

After practicing the piano for seven or eight days, can I meet people?

Everyone thought they were joking, but Yu Qingyan knew it. She heard it outside the yard when she practiced the piano on the first day of Qijing.

Unfortunately, she only listened to the first day.Later, he was stopped by the fourth prince's people and not allowed to approach.So even though she knew that she had practiced the piano for seven or eight days, she didn't know to what extent this so-called being able to meet people was.

She never believed that Su Qijing was a genius.

"Coincidentally, I want to compose a poem today, but I have no inspiration. So I can only play the piano for fun..." Yu Qingyan said suddenly, and then looked at the second princess: "Second sister, do you remember that you just got the ice string, can you borrow it?" Use it for my sister?"

"Naturally." The Second Prince's concubine's cheeks stiffened slightly, but she still smiled and asked someone to fetch the piano.

When someone heard it, they immediately echoed: "Hey, Miss Yu San also wants to play the piano? Today is a blessing to my ears. Miss Yu San's poems, books and qin are the best!"

Qijing raised her eyebrows and looked at the haughty and proud Yu Qingyan.For some reason, I suddenly thought of it.If she said, acting like a boulder in the chest, how would she respond?

Soon, all the performers performed.Only Yu Qingyan and Qi Jing were left.

Yu Qingyan's idea is easy to guess, there will only be one that stands out the most.And she probably wanted to compare the two piano sounds together.It will definitely highlight her own brilliance, as well as her unbearable.

Qijing can say that he doesn't like fame.Even if she was really looked down upon by these people of the same age, who were destined to be in the same circle in the future, treated as a joke by them, and became a topic of conversation after dinner... She was not willing either.

Soon, Yu Qingyan took the stage.

She was wearing a bright purple long dress, and she wore a blue chrysanthemum on her head, which was exactly the same as the green peony blooming on that branch.The other one is a gold and silver two-color butterfly hairpin that is about to fly.

It's a butterfly love flower.Such a beautiful lady...

With the sound of the piano, ding dong clang.The men followed the rhythm, or shook their heads and fans, or focused their eyes on the beautiful woman on the stage.The women are envious and jealous, but they have to smile generously.

At the end of the song, Yu Qingyan's cheeks were slightly red, her eyes were bright, and the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, confident and proud.It seems that victory is already at hand.It seems that he has seen Su Qijing's pitiful appearance being ridiculed and ridiculed by everyone.

She did not step down from the stage, and said directly to the crowd: "The eldest daughter of Master Su, Minister of the Ministry of War, came to the flower feast for the first time today. She also wants to play the piano and let everyone appreciate... Now, Miss Su, please come on stage."

Qijing glanced at her with a smile, and went up to the stage to meet her.
