Chapter 124
"The wine tasting banquet has officially begun, everyone please take a seat."

The man and the woman sat separately, Song Baoling sat with the other female relatives, and Jun Tingsheng was not far from her on the opposite side.

After the two looked at each other, they looked away at the same time, but Jin Wanlin saw this scene.

Thinking of what Song Baochai said before and what she had heard, the more she thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt.

In the middle of the wine-tasting banquet, many ladies from the official family showed off their talents, playing piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, and reciting poems. Everyone enjoyed talking about it.

Song Baochai was by the king's side, and when he saw Song Baoling stretching his head out to watch the performance, he immediately had a plan.

"My lord, this concubine remembers that sister Ling'er has practiced the piano since she was a child, but after she grew up, we sisters became a little estranged, and I haven't heard her piano sound for many years."

Hearing her words, Song Baoling was stunned. When did she practice piano since she was a child?

When Song Baichuan was stationed in the frontier, Li Shi didn't even make her stomach full during the years when she was in charge of the house, let alone piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

"Aifei, do you want to hear my sister play the piano?"

Jun Yelan looked at Song Baoling with great interest. He wanted to find a chance to test it out, but he didn't expect Song Baochai to help him instead.

"Since that's the case, let's play a song in public, the little girl of the Song family. I also want to hear how your piano sounds."

The words of Song Baoling's refusal had already reached his lips, but upon hearing the words, he couldn't speak.

Forget it, just flick it a few times to fool it.

"Miss Song, although today is just a wine-tasting banquet, if you don't play carefully, if you don't play well, you will lose your morals in front of the palace, and Xuanpinghou's mansion will be implicated by this."

What Jun Tianlin said suddenly made Song Baoling's heart tremble suddenly, she turned her head to meet him, and smiled lightly after a while.

"Thank you, my lord, for reminding me that Ling'er will definitely work harder than before, and won't disappoint the Holy One."

After saluting, Song Baoling walked to the piano stand, looked at the strings that had never been touched before, and let out a soft breath.

As the piano sounded, the noisy people around gradually quieted down, and everyone's eyes were on Song Baoling.

The melodious and melodious sound of the piano makes you feel like you are in the mountains and forests at one moment, and at a bustling market at the other.

At this time, a flute sound joined in, Song Baoling raised his eyes and saw Jun Tingsheng who was playing the flute, and the corners of his lips raised unconsciously.

The piano and flute ensemble is not against harmony, on the contrary, the tacit understanding of the two makes the whole piece more beautiful.

The two on this side played harmoniously, while Jin Wanlin on the other side was already half-dead with anger, and the other ladies from the official family were even more jealous when they saw this.

At the end of the song, before everyone recovered from the music, Concubine Leng got up angrily and said, "Please punish Song Baoling, the Holy Admiral!"

Everyone was taken aback when they heard the words, and even Jun Yelan didn't react, and asked suspiciously, "Why?"

Seeing Concubine Leng suddenly turned her head and glared at Song Baoling, she said firmly: "Song Baoling's performance is a dark song from the previous dynasty, with the intention of overthrowing the current dynasty!"

The expression on Jun Yelan's face was unpredictable, and then he slapped the table and stood up: "Bold! How dare you openly play this kind of music, Song Baoling, are you despising me?"

And the queen on the side even ordered directly: "Come here, hurry up and arrest her!"

"The empress is merciful."

Song Baichuan hastily stepped forward and knelt on the ground, saluting to Jun Yelan: "Your Majesty, calm down, my daughter is still young, how can she know what the dark song of the previous dynasty is, there must be a misunderstanding."

However, in the face of the imminent crime, Song Baoling did not panic at all, and everyone couldn't help but feel puzzled when they saw this.

"The Queen Mother is here!"

Just listening to the rumors from outside the hall, Jun Yelan and the others immediately stood up and saluted. After the queen mother entered the hall, she saw the situation and asked what happened.

Jun Yelan frowned and refused to speak. In order to save his daughter, Song Baichuan had to take the initiative to tell the truth about the incident.

"Oh, so that's what it is."

The Empress Dowager looked at Song Baoling who was full of innocence, pityed her when she was young and asked her to explain, "Don't be afraid, tell yourself, what's the matter with this song?"

Song Baoling knelt down to salute the Empress Dowager, then straightened up and said frankly: "I report to the Empress Dowager, Your Majesty, what the servant girl is playing is not a dark song from the previous dynasty, there is a difference between the two pieces."

After listening to her explanation, the Empress Dowager's eyes searched among His Highness's people, and after a while, her eyes fell on one person.

"Liu Taidou, you were here just now, can you tell me whether the song played by this little girl is the same as the dark song?"

Song Baoling turned to look at the man who stood up and saluted. She had never seen this man before, but she had heard of his name.

Liu Taidou, a well-known piano master in the world, is quite famous in various countries, and the people once said that he is a music idiot.

"Reporting to the Empress Dowager, the song played by this young lady is indeed different from the dark song's rhythm."

After he finished speaking, Song Baoling followed closely, pointing out the places he had changed in the song one by one.

"The empress dowager, my lord, and my courtiers adapted this song to praise the prosperity of this dynasty and the people's happiness and carefree, implying that this dynasty will last forever."

Hearing these words, Jun Yelan's eyes lit up immediately, and the queen mother asked Song Baoling to play again.

After the song, the Empress Dowager praised Song Baoling without hesitation, "I never imagined that you could have such a piano skill at such a young age. It is truly commendable."

Seeing that the queen mother appreciated her so much, Jun Yelan echoed the situation: "Just now, I haven't heard the mystery of it. After listening to it again with my mother, this song is indeed magnificent."

"Song Baoling, you really gave me another surprise, come and give me your token."

The so-called "request of the emperor's order", with this token, you can travel freely in the palace.

"My daughter, thank you for your gift."

Everyone was amazed and cast envious glances at Song Baoling. Jun Tingsheng even sneaked up to her side when no one was paying attention.

"Ling'er, congratulations."

Seeing his sneaky look, Song Baoling couldn't help laughing, "You are my little uncle, why did you sneak here like this."

"Didn't I tell you not to call me little uncle?"

"Okay, don't call if you don't call."

Song Baoling looked around and whispered, "Thank you for inviting the Queen Mother in advance, otherwise I wouldn't be able to get away so easily."

The expression on Jun Tingsheng's face changed slightly. In fact, the queen mother has always disliked him. He also knew that the queen mother would come to this wine tasting banquet, and it was just a matter of time.

But in order to save Song Baoling, he still sent people to spread the word. It seems that the Queen Mother just wanted to sell him a favor.

"You'll be fine."

The two talked for a while, Jun Tingsheng was afraid of being discovered, so he slipped back to his place.

Song Baoling sat obediently on the stool and stopped doing anything to attract attention. Everyone here has ulterior motives, and she didn't want her father to worry about her anymore.
