The sound of the piano, without any distractions, sounds very much like that of Concubine Hui back then!
Aunt Rong slowly stood up and walked in front of Jiang Jingyu. She did not make a sound to disturb her, but watched her play the piano quietly.
Jiang Jingyu was so engrossed in playing the piano that she didn't notice Aunt Rong in front of her.
She didn't want to be too conspicuous, as long as she could pass the selection safely and stay in the palace.
As for how to approach the emperor, she found another way.
However, Shen Weining kept provoking her, and coupled with Aunt Rong's words just now, Jiang Jingyu changed her mind.
Being the lead dancer is a pretty good job.
It seems that in this new life, things did not develop along the same path as in the previous life.
In her previous life, after she entered the palace, there was no palace banquet half a month later.
Pah pah pah——
As soon as Jiang Jingyu withdrew her fingers, Aunt Rong clapped her hands, walked up to her, and looked at her with shining eyes.
"May I ask your name, young master?"
Jiang Jingyu stood up and said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner, "Jiang Jingyu."
Jiang surname...
Aunt Rong smiled and said, "So she is the Shangshu's daughter."
She secretly memorized Jiang Jingyu's name, and her attitude towards Jiang Jingyu was obviously different from that of others.
She was sure that this girl would shine in this year's selection of concubines.
If she played a piece of music at the palace banquet, then...
Aunt Rong didn't think any further. She only knew that even if this girl's talent was not outstanding in the future, she would definitely have a place in the harem with her piano playing!
"Looking forward to your performance later."
Aunt Rong smiled slightly and said nothing more.
Although Jiang Jingyu's piano playing amazed her, she still had to abide by the rules of the palace.
Therefore, Aunt Rong did not talk much with Jiang Jingyu.
After Jiang Jingyu returned to her seat, Aunt Rong turned around and looked at everyone.
A hint of tenderness appeared on the serious face.
"Everyone performed well in today's piano competition. Today's competition ends here, and we will proceed to the chess competition tomorrow."
"My dear ladies, please go back and rest. We will come back tonight to study the palace rules and etiquette at the same time as last night. I hope you will prepare in advance."
Aunt Rong was in a good mood and spoke to the ladies in a rare friendly manner. She also specifically reminded them not to forget the time.
It was not until Aunt Rong spoke that the stunned crowd gradually came to their senses.
They stared at Jiang Jingyu with indescribable shock on their faces.
Isn't Jiang Jingyu a complete idiot? How could he play the piano so well?
Jiang Jingyu was the daughter of a minister, and the other beauties present were all daughters of officials in Kyoto, so they naturally knew her identity.
However, they had only met Jiang Jingyu superficially and were not familiar with her.
But he also knew that the Shangshu's daughter Jiang Jingyu was a spoiled little waste who was spoiled by her parents and brother.
Apart from eating, drinking, defecating and urinating, he can't do anything else.
Because of this, Jiang Jingyu became the subject of after-dinner conversation among these noble ladies and rich girls.
They were already very surprised when they saw Jiang Jingyu at the talent show. They didn't expect that in this piano selection, Jiang Jingyu would show off her skills to them, which really opened their eyes!
Could it be that she had been hiding her abilities and pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger?
Deep, the scheming is really too deep!
They were all deceived by Jiang Jingyu!
After hearing Jiang Jingyu's piano playing with their own ears, no one dared to look down on her anymore.
Just as he was about to return to his residence to recuperate, Shen Weining suddenly spoke.
She glared at Jiang Jingyu first, then looked at Aunt Rong and asked, "Ning'er, dare I ask, Aunt, who has better piano music, me or Jiang Jingyu? Who will be the winner of this piano art competition?"
Aunt Rong looked at Shen Weining and said calmly, "You two are both extremely skilled in the zither. Besides, there are only passable and unpassable selections, there is no such thing as a winner."
But Shen Weining was persistent and kept asking, "What if you insist on asking Auntie to share the same?"
Aunt Rong frowned. These two were both excellent at playing the piano. If they met the emperor in the future, they would definitely be favored. Therefore, she didn't want to offend either of them.
But Shen Weining refused to give in, and looked at Aunt Rong stubbornly, as if to say, "If you don't tell me, you can't leave."
Aunt Rong frowned and emphasized again: "There is no such thing as a first place in the selection. Go back and rest first."
"Aunt, Ning'er begged you, and who comes first is really important to Ning'er!"
The gentleness that had finally appeared on Aunt Rong's face gradually disappeared under Shen Weining's questioning.
She pursed her thin lips and looked at Shen Weining with some displeasure: "Do you really have to know?"
Shen Weining nodded: "Yes! I must know!"
Aunt Rong chuckled lightly and said in a deep voice, "Your piano skills are not as good as hers."
Shen Weining widened his eyes and staggered back two steps.
"How is this possible? Impossible, this is absolutely impossible!"
How could her piano skills, which she was so proud of, be inferior to that bitch Jiang Jingyu?!
Shen Weining seemed to be going crazy. She grabbed the shoulders of the girl in front of her and looked at her with red eyes: "Tell me, who is better at playing the zither, me or Jiang Jingyu?"
Xiu Nu bit her lower lip and said nothing.
"Speak! Speak!"
Shen Weining shook Xiu Nu's body vigorously and asked angrily.
"How dare you! Making a noise and causing trouble for others in Chuxiu Palace, how can you be so disrespectful?!"
Aunt Rong's harsh rebuke brought Shen Weining back to her senses from her collapse. Her hand slowly dropped from the young lady, and she lowered her head in despair.
She is not as good as Jiang Jingyu, how could she be not as good as Jiang Jingyu!
Aunt Rong glanced at her indifferently, then walked towards the side hall with a flick of her sleeves.
