Looking up, Mi Xi immediately saw Zhou Qi behind Li Jiancheng.
Zhou Qi also saw Mi Xi, winked at him with a smile.
Second Uncle, please have a seat.
Li Jiancheng smiled and invited Qin Yin to sit down.
Qin Yin readily agreed and sat down in the seat below Li Jiancheng.
Welcome everyone to my imperial concubine selection banquet. Please relax and don't be shy. As you all know, these banquets are just for show. It's not easy for you all to gather here from all over the country. This is just a small get-together to connect and strengthen our relationships.
Of course, I know that just eating and drinking like this would be boring for everyone.
As he spoke, Li Jiancheng raised his hand.
Zhou Qi and the Zhu family descendant number twelve slowly stepped forward from behind.
These two are the first and second chosen at the imperial concubine selection ceremony. Let them and the young ladies from various families take turns coming up to add to the festivities.
Li Jiancheng smiled slightly at the group of aristocratic families, clans, and powerful clans below the stage, then clapped his hands, and four armored soldiers carried a piano to the open space in the middle of the imperial garden.
My name is Zheng Jiayi. Your Highness, why don't I go first?
Zheng Jiayi's heart pounded as she looked at Li Jiancheng, whose face was as handsome as jade.
Can.
With Li Jiancheng's permission, Zheng Jiayi walked over confidently and gracefully, feigning composure. She then sat down gracefully and gently placed her hands on the piano. Taking a deep breath to calm her chaotic thoughts, she began to play.
The waltz has its own unique characteristics and style, with elegant melodies and smooth connections between notes.
It exhibits its unique dance atmosphere and emotional expression.
Waltzes come in a variety of styles, such as Viennese, French, and Russian.
Zheng Jiayi's waltz finger techniques, musical expression, rhythm mastery, timbre shaping, and the characteristics and style of the waltz are all well expressed, allowing listeners to enjoy the beauty and pleasure brought by the music.
After Zheng Jiayi finished her song, she stood up, bowed deeply to Li Jiancheng, and gracefully left the stage.
Below the stage, Li Mu, Gu Kaizhi, Li Yi, Jiangsu, Ji Baiyuan, Li Yue, Li Han, Qin Luochen, and Qin Luoya sat together chatting happily.
May I sit here, everyone?
Everyone looked over at the sound and saw that the speaker was Ye Zongqi.
cannot.
Go away, go away.
Gu Kaizhi was annoyed by Ye Zongqi's feigned refined manner inquiries and tried to shoo him away as if he were a fly.
Ye Zongqi was furious upon hearing this, but since the person was Gu Kaizhi, he had no choice but to give up, saying "I'm sorry to have bothered you" and turning to leave.
My dear Xiaoxiao, I miss you so much! Do you know how I've been living these past few days?
Jiangsu's mouth dropped open. In his mind, Gu Kaizhi was a living Yama, and a living Yama suddenly laughing was even more frightening than not laughing at all.
Li Han and Li Yue, on the other hand, looked obedient, maintaining fake smiles on their faces.
Qin Luochen curled his lip in disgust. Qin Luoya, who was next to him, looked at Gu Kaizhi and then at Li Mu, her eyes filled with jealousy and hatred. She sat in the corner expressionless, her hands clenched so tightly that her nails almost dug into her flesh.
Ji Baiyuan pulled Li Mu to his seat, separating Li Mu from Gu Kaizhi. Now Li Mu and Jiangsu were sitting together.
Hey, what are you doing? I want to sit next to my Xiaoxiao.
Li Mu's lively commotion caught the attention of Li Jiancheng on the high platform. Since Li Mu had his back to Li Jiancheng, Li Jiancheng did not notice him, but he did notice Jiangsu and Qin Luoya.
Li Jiancheng waved his hand, and the guard beside him bowed down. Li Jiancheng gave a few instructions, and the guard nodded and stepped down from the stage.
Li Jiancheng's gaze did not fall on Li Mu, but instead seemed to drift towards Qin Yin.
Li Jiancheng squinted, and as the guards walked towards Li Mu, Qin Yin subconsciously looked towards Li Mu as well.
The guards approached Jiangsu and Li Mu. Qin Yin subconsciously clenched his fist, which piqued Li Jiancheng's interest even more.
Finally, the guard walked up to Qin Luoya, who was facing Li Jiancheng, and whispered a few words to him. Qin Yin secretly breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this.
Li Jiancheng took a deep look at Li Mu, who had his back to him, and Jiangsu, whose face was only visible in profile, and made up his mind.
The guard returned to Li Jiancheng's side, thus completing his mission.
Qin Luoya rose and walked slowly onto the stage, gracefully sitting on the piano bench, her fingertips moving rhythmically, producing beautiful sounds.
What do you think Miss Qin Luoya looks like?
Who knows? The Qin family members are all wearing masks.
I was hoping to catch a glimpse of the Qin family head, but they were all wearing masks.
I really want to know what the Qin family members look like.
Which patriarch of the Qin family do you think is the head of the Qin family?
It should be the old man, Qin Yu.
No, no, I think it's Second Master Qin, after all, Second Master Qin controls the Qin Group.
That Third Master Qin Reng was one of the three most powerful figures in the Chinese political arena.
What did Fourth Master say?
That's right, Fourth Master controls the military power of China.
After all you've said, who exactly is the head of the Qin family?
Well......
While they were chatting enthusiastically, on the other side of the platform...
Princess Li Xiaorui couldn't contain herself any longer. She got up and went to Qin Yin's side, plopping down in the empty seat next to him.
Qin Yin sensed it, but ignored it, not even giving the princess a glance.
Second Uncle, is it because our family has not been hospitable enough?
No.
Qin Yin replied with two words indifferently.
Then, why is Second Uncle so sullen?
Are these people too mediocre to please Uncle?
How about I play a tune for my second uncle myself?
Seeing that Qin Yin remained silent, Li Xiaorui grew impatient and suddenly stood up.
Seeing Princess Li Xiaorui stand up, Qin Luoya, unaware of the situation, stopped playing.
Li Xiaorui glanced at Qin Luoya, who had stopped playing, and felt quite satisfied. This future niece was perceptive.
I've heard that you're all skilled in musical instruments and dancing. But playing the piano alone is too monotonous. How about one of you come up and dance a piece?
Li Xiaorui glanced at the group of young women below the stage and smiled confidently.
Is nobody here? Then I'll dance a little something to show you ladies.
As she spoke, Li Xiaorui glanced at Qin Yin and then strode towards the front of the stage.
Wait a minute, Xiaorui.
Li Jiancheng knew what Qin Yin was going to do when Li Xiaorui stood up and walked to his side. He didn't interrupt her until the music stopped and Li Xiaorui got up to go to the stage.
Crown Prince, what's wrong?
Miss Qin Luoya has been playing for quite some time now.
Qin Luoya understood and got up to leave the stage.
I remember Miss Li was a judge at the Crown Prince's selection ceremony. How about Miss Li accompanies Xiaorui with a song?
Li Mu was stunned when he was suddenly called out, and Qin Luochen, Jiangsu and others around him were also stunned. They all looked at Li Mu.
Li Mu was also quite helpless. He came here to be a lazy bum, so why was he suddenly singled out?
