Bamboo horse is king

Chapter 106 Not fortified, was calculated (1)

Soon, the palace banquet began.

The emperor said a few words on the scene, the music started, and the dancer danced the opening dance, the dance was beautiful and moving.

The emperor's eyes were half-closed, his eyes lingering on the plump figure of the dancer girl.

Shen Jue'er and Shen Shiyun sat together.

Shen Shiyun is the prime minister, and his seat is relatively in front.

Many ladies from aristocratic families frequently looked at Shen Jue'er, to be exact, at Shen Shiyun, with shy and timid eyes.

Shen Jue'er pursed her lips, her own father who was too handsome was simply a deadly weapon for an ignorant girl, and anyone would like him with a drag bottle.

Mu Jingyuan sat diagonally across from Shen Jue'er, staring at her with dark and deep eyes, with her thin lips tightly pursed, sitting in a lazy posture, holding a wine glass in her hand and drinking lightly.

Shen Jue'er lowered her head to eat melon seeds and cakes, and did not look at Mu Jingyuan at all.

After the opening dance, the daughters of each family performed their talents and showed off their strengths.

Playing the piano, dancing, writing poetry and painting.

The first ones to play were all the daughters of low-ranking officials, and their talents were not outstanding.

Soon it was Chu Hanyue's turn.

Today's Chu Hanyue, dressed in a light blue fairy dress, is noble and elegant, with a calm expression on her face and quiet eyes.

As soon as she came on stage, she won applause from many people before she even started to perform.

Most of the men looked at her with admiration, but when they thought that she had been betrothed to the crown prince, they couldn't help feeling disappointed.

Chu Hanyue plucked the strings with ten fingers and played a song "Ripple". The sound of the song was sometimes mellow and sometimes high-pitched. The combination of softness and rigidity not only showed the melody, but also the heart of the player, soft and strong.

After the song was over, there was thunderous applause, accompanied by words of praise from everyone.

Chu Hanyue smiled confidently, looked at Shen Jue'er with provocative eyes, "It is said that Miss Shen was very talented when she was studying in the palace, can Hanyue ask for advice?"

As her words fell, everyone became quiet, all looking at Shen Jue'er.

The corners of Shen Jue'er's lips curled up slightly, and she turned her head slightly, her beautiful eyes stared at Chu Hanyue with leisurely eyes, "Ask for advice? You really should ask for advice. Miss Chu doesn't seem to know much about Qin."

Chu Hanyue's face instantly became ugly.

Shen Jue'er smiled, "Miss Chu's song "Ripples" cannot make people's hearts ripple. There is nothing to praise for a song that cannot touch people's hearts."

"The Duyouqin is indeed a good piano, but it's a pity that the magnificent atmosphere in the sound of the piano is not suitable for the song "Ripples". If it is replaced by the Luqiqin, it may be much better."

All the people present, who knew something about Qin, nodded secretly, approving what Shen Jueer said.

Chu Hanyue's face became more and more ugly, and her fists under her sleeves were clenched tightly.

Soon, it was Ling Ruoshui's turn to perform.

The same repertoire, superb skills and green qiqin, the sound of the piano is lingering.

After the song was over, everyone couldn't return to their senses for a long time, immersed in it, and immediately stood up to each other.

The number one talented woman deserves to be the number one talented woman!

As beautiful as Shen Jue'er, as talented as Ling Ruoshui, the halo surrounding Chu Hanyue's body became dim.

Everyone drank three rounds.

Chu Hanyue's gaze was fixed on Shen Jue'er all the time, with a cold light from time to time.

Shen Jue'er didn't realize it, she lowered her head to eat the snacks on the table, and drank tea when she was thirsty.

Suddenly he frowned, a little irritable, and fanned his face with both hands, it was too hot and stuffy.

Suddenly there was a muffled "boom".

Shen Jue'er looked over, and saw Ling Ruoshui lying on the ground pale, with sweat on his forehead.

The people around her were a little noisy.

The emperor hurriedly sent people to the imperial physician.

After the examination by the imperial doctor, he only said that it was heat stroke, and he was fine after rest.

The people in Duke Ling's mansion breathed a sigh of relief.

The maid helped Ling Ruoshui to leave.

Seeing that Ling Ruoshui's condition was not good, Shen Jue'er wanted to go and take a look, so as to get some air, and after talking to Shen Shiyun, she got up and left.

Where no one was looking, Chu Hanyue and Mu Qizhen looked at each other, then looked away as if nothing had happened.
