"Women in my court have always been famous for their superb talents and learning, gentleness and virtuousness. I think everyone has achieved some accomplishments in the art of piano today. Is there anyone who is willing to compete with the little girl of the Shen family?"
Emperor Kang Sheng looked at the people in the hall and said leisurely.
? Shen Guining frowned. Before, everyone performed in the order of drawing lots in the talent competition, and there was no such so-called asking for advice. Why
Everyone was shocked when they heard the emperor's proposal. Even the crown prince and the second prince, who had been keeping quiet all this time, carefully scrutinized Shen Guining in the palace.
Seeing Lin Wansu beside her with a worried face, Shen Qian patted the back of her hand and comforted her.
"Ma'am, don't be impatient."
"My Majesty, Ling'er also likes guqin very much. I wonder if I can ask Miss Shen for advice."
"Yes."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
After Dong Linger sat down, she chose "Autumn Thoughts" which she was very familiar with, and started to play.
The sound of the piano is low, crying like complaining, with dull depression and pain. Although it is not as shocking as Shen Guining's "Spirit of War", it is also extraordinary.
"Miss Shen is unparalleled in piano skills, and Ling'er is willing to bow down."
Dong Linger looked at the crowd shaking their heads slightly and their expressions were nothing more than that, she got up and said to Shen Guining gnashing her teeth.
"Miss Dong is too modest."
Shen Guining looked at Dong Ling'er in front of her, and suddenly thought of the unhappiness between the two of them.
Looking at the calm and calm Shen Guining, Dong Linger smiled slightly.
"If Ling'er remembers correctly, the jade hairpin on Miss Shen's head was bought by a strange man not long ago, and it is in your hands for some reason."
After hearing what Dong Linger said, Shen Qian and Lin Wansu looked at each other, got up and walked to the hall, and knelt down hastily.
"Please be careful, Your Majesty. Ning'er has not yet reached the age of Ji and is not married. She will definitely not have a private relationship with a man. Miss Dong may have misunderstood."
"Do you have something to say?"
Emperor Kang Sheng looked at Shen Guining who was still neither humble nor overbearing in the hall with some displeasure.
? Shen Guining looked at Shen Qian and Lin Wansu who were beside him in fear and trepidation, and then glanced at Dong Linger who was harboring malicious intentions, and knelt down.
"Returning to the emperor, this jade hairpin is indeed a gift from a friend, as Miss Dong said."
After hearing the uproar in the hall, Shen Guining continued.
"Because Ning'er saved the young master when he was in Nanshan Temple, he gave this jade hairpin to Ning'er in return for saving his life. The reason for this is not what Miss Dong thought."
"You're lying. That day I saw you flirting with that thief with my own eyes. It was so ambiguous."
Dong Linger looked at Shen Guining's contemptuous expression, the elegance and composure she had pretended before no longer existed, and suddenly she was a little outspoken.
Dong Yi looked at the young daughter who was speaking freely in the hall, frowned, and motioned Dong Shu'er to pull her down.
Dong Shuer was walking forward when she heard a lazy voice.
"I don't know if the thief mentioned by Miss Dong is my king?"
Cang Yue Changqing sat in the dark and kept silent all the time, so Dong Ling'er didn't notice him, and only said in horror when she saw Cang Yue Changqing standing in front of her in white clothes.
"you you you¡¡"
Dong Shuer looked at Dong Linger who suddenly looked surprised, and immediately knelt down.
"The lord calm down, Ling'er may have misread it, and I hope the lord will forgive me."
Cang Yue glanced affectionately at the three members of the Shen family who were still kneeling, ignored Dong Shuer, and said to the emperor above.
"I would like to report to my father, this jade hairpin is indeed a gift from my son-in-law. As Miss Shen said, this jade hairpin is only to repay Nanshan Temple's life-saving grace, and has no other intention. I hope my father will find out."
When Emperor Kang Sheng heard the word "life-saving grace", his eyes became a little dark, and then he glanced at Cang Yue Changqing, and then seriously looked at Shen Guining who was kneeling below.
At such a young age, she is calm and composed when things happen, and she is not flustered, so she is really a rare and strange woman.
A month ago, when Shen Qian accidentally heard that his daughter Shen Guining had returned from Cangshan Mountain, he even specially sent someone to send a message to Cang Yue.
However, she never saw Cang Yue's long-term love react, so she planned to make Shen Guining a princess and go to Nanling to get married.
But now, seeing the two people standing and kneeling under the main hall, Emperor Kang Sheng's heart moved.
"Cangyue girls should always remember the "Women's Training" and "Women's Commandments", and always pay attention to the defense of men and women. Although the two of you have done nothing improper, it is true that the token you gave privately is true. Today I will give it to the Shen family.?As the concubine of Xiaoyao, do you two have any objections? "
Hearing Emperor Kang Sheng's words, the queen glanced at Shen Guining who was neither humble nor overbearing kneeling above the main hall, and subconsciously clenched her right hand.
If Shen Guining became Princess Xiaoyao, who would replace Cang Yue Fei Xi in Nanling to get married?
Shen Guining raised her drooping head, looked at the majestic Emperor Kang Sheng above him with surprise, and the empress with complicated complexion beside her, and replied softly.
"My daughter has no objection."
"Since this is the case, I will pass on my decree: Shen Guining, the daughter of the Shen family, is intelligent and dignified, virtuous and virtuous, and will be named Concubine Xiaoyao, and she will marry at a certain date after she reaches Ji."
"Thank you, father."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Shen Guining replied softly, then glanced at Cang Yue Changqing who winked at her secretly, and curled her lips.
"Stand back."
"yes."
Cang Yue glanced affectionately at Shen Guining who was opposite, and felt happy in her heart, and began to think about how to repay Shen Guining's so-called "life-saving grace" tonight.
Dong Shu'er looked at Dong Linger who was staring at that side angrily, stretched out her hand and pulled her to her side, and warned.
"If you dare to cause trouble today, be careful that father will give you good fruit to eat."
"knew."
Dong Ling'er shook off Dong Shu'er's hand, and sat back on her seat angrily, but her eyes never left Shen Guining, who was safe and sound over there.
After that episode, the performance was still going on in an orderly manner, but Shen Guining felt a little dull.
Now that she has made a marriage due to an "accident", naturally there is nothing to do with her, and she immediately began to taste the delicacies in front of her leisurely.
The second prince looked at Shen Guining, who was a little casual at the side. Although the piano art was slightly better than Dong Linger, it was not a superb skill. Compared with her appearance and her status as the daughter of the Shen family, the so-called talents Just icing on the cake.
Everyone knows that Shen Qian, the prime minister of the Cang Yue Dynasty, is knowledgeable, thoughtful, and highly regarded by the emperor. He is also upright, honest and selfless, and has many staff around him.
Although his daughter, Shen Guining, is not as good as Ji, she is calm, neither arrogant nor impetuous. If she can become the second princess, she will definitely help him a lot.
Unexpectedly, her father actually gave her to Cang Yue Changqing, that Xiaoyao Wang who has always had no rules and no sense of existence.
Suddenly seeing the prince with a somewhat gloomy face opposite him, the Second Prince curled his lips.
It seems that it is not as bad as he thought. Although such a good thing has not happened to him, at least the prince will not get any benefits.
After returning to the Shen residence after the palace banquet, Shen Qian, who had not said a word, looked at the two people beside him and said softly.
"Ma'am go to bed earlier, Ning'er will follow me to the study."
"The hour of Hai has come, sir, don't be too late."
Lin Wansu glanced at Shen Guining, then walked towards the bedroom.
After entering the study, Shen Qian, who had always been amiable, suddenly turned to Shen Guining with a gloomy face, and sternly reprimanded her.
