424 Keep a low profile, who enters first is a question

Feng Qingchen won a game against Su Wan in a high-profile manner and stole the limelight. From the inner court of the palace to the streets and alleys, everyone was talking about how Feng Qingchen's skills surpassed Su Wan's.

After Mr. Yuan Xi came out of the palace, he was invited by several great scholars to drink tea and talk about the zither. He accidentally drank too much and not only described the song "Blue Sea and Blue Sky" played by Feng Qingchen as heaven on earth and unique, he also revealed that in order to learn this song, he was willing to marry Feng Qingchen.

As a result, the imperial city was in an uproar. It was nothing that Feng Qingchen won over Su Wan in piano playing, but to receive such compliments from Mr. Yuan Xi, Feng Qingchen was definitely the best.

As a result, Feng Qingchen became famous, and this time it was not because of some scandal, but because of her talent and reputation.

With Mr. Yuan Xi's words, no one dared to doubt that Feng Qingchen could not play the piano. If it weren't for those prominent figures who understood that Feng Qingchen had to compete in chess with Su Wan the next day, they would probably have come to Feng Qingchen that afternoon to discuss piano playing with him. It would be the best if they had the opportunity to listen to "Blue Sea and Blue Sky".

Su Wan also added fuel to the fire. Not only did she admit that she was not very skilled, she also repeatedly emphasized that she would die without regrets if she could listen to "Blue Sky" again.

The situation outside was getting more and more violent. If the Emperor had not received the news and was afraid that someone would take the opportunity to endanger Feng Qingchen's safety, and sent guards to guard the place, those lunatics would have rushed into the courtyard in the west area and forced Feng Qingchen to talk about "The Blue Sky" again.

When Feng Qingchen woke up and heard the news, she cursed Mr. Yuan Xi in her heart. As for Su Wan? There was no need to pay any attention to her. She was obviously a girl who couldn't stand losing.

Although she admitted that she did not win fairly, so what? The competition itself was unfair. Why should she use fair means to participate in an unfair competition?

Feng Qingchen did not regret defeating Su Wan. What she regretted was getting into such a big trouble with Yuan Xi. Yuan Xi praised her so highly, but in fact she did not understand the piano at all and she would soon fall from the altar.

"Sure enough, one should be low-key."

Feng Qingchen said silently in her heart, and at the same time thought that Tong Jue and Tong Yao had always been serving her personally. Those people couldn't start with her, so they might set their sights on Tong Jue and Tong Yao.

Feng Qingchen raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "Tong Jue, Tong Yao, what do you think about this matter?"

Tong Jue and Tong Yao were stunned at first. They couldn't believe that the young lady would actually ask for their opinions. Then they were ecstatic. They thought that the young lady's question meant that she was willing to believe them.

Tong Jue and Tong Yao immediately became excited: "Miss..." They looked at Feng Qingchen to ask if this was what they thought.

Feng Qingchen nodded and gave them a positive answer. "Tong Jue, Tong Yao, you have been serving me closely. It is not an exaggeration to say that you are my closest people. I see your sincerity. There are not many people in this mansion that I can trust, and you are one of them.

Although I have hidden some things from you, it is also for your own good. I don't want you to be involved in some messy things. I hope you can understand.

After all, I am not an ordinary young lady. I cannot help myself in some things. I need someone I can trust wholeheartedly. This person can only treat me as the master and must not have any second thoughts. "Feng Qingchen had never been an official in her previous life, so she was a novice in being a master in this life. She didn't know how to control her subordinates, but she knew how to use both kindness and force.

After Tong Jue and Tong Yao came back from Wang's house, they were much more well-behaved than before. It must be because Jin Ling had warned them. She was able to use these two people easily and was happy to be able to use them for her own benefit. Not only was she happy, but Jin Ling would be happy too.

A glimmer of surprise flashed in Tong Jue and Tong Yao's eyes. They knew that the opportunity had come. They smiled at each other, nodded with tears in their eyes, knelt down together, kowtowed to Feng Qingchen and said, "Please rest assured, Miss, Tong Jue and Tong Yao will never betray their master. From now on, Tong Jue and Tong Yao only have Miss as their master."

Feng Qingchen was not surprised by the expected answer. She had been testing them repeatedly during this period and was sure that these two people were determined to follow her.

Feng Qingchen picked up the tea on the table, blew away the tea leaves floating on the water, took a sip slowly, put the cup back gently, and said: "Get up, remember what you said today, if you have any second thoughts in the future, don't come to see me again." The day they have second thoughts will be the day of their death.

"I understand." Tong Jue and Tong Yao did not say much to express their loyalty. They just kowtowed heavily to show their determination.

Feng Qingchen was also very satisfied. No matter how nice the words were, it was useless. Everything depended on actions.

"Tong Jue, Tong Yao, what do you think about what's being said outside?" Many people in the imperial city, under the instigation of Su Wan and others, wanted to force her to play "Blue Sea and Blue Sky" again in public. This was not a good sign.

Although she was confident that she would not be exposed, but... using tricks to win an unfair competition was completely different from using tricks to win false fame that did not belong to her. She was not interested in giving herself the reputation of a great luthier and then playing the piano everywhere to please people.

Tong Jue and Tong Yao were aware of Feng Qingchen's piano skills. They didn't know how Feng Qingchen defeated Su Wan, and they didn't want to know.

Having been with Feng Qingchen for such a long time, they knew Feng Qingchen's character well. Feng Qingchen never liked to be in the limelight, so this sentence made it clear that she did not intend to play "Blue Sea and Blue Sky" again.

You know, once this happens, it will happen again. If you can't refuse these people today, you won't be able to refuse those with greater power tomorrow. By then, Feng Qingchen will really become a zither player.

"Miss, the person who tied the bell should be the one to untie it. This matter was caused by Mr. Yuan Xi, so naturally it should be ended by Mr. Yuan Xi." Without Mr. Yuan Xi's instigation, how could Su Wan arouse everyone's curiosity about "The Blue Sky" in just half a day.

Feng Qingchen raised his eyelids: "What do you think about Mr. Yuan Xi marrying me?"

This is only Feng Qingchen. If it were any other girl, no one would talk about their marriage so openly.

"Miss, are you testing us? If you really agreed to marry Mr. Yuan Xi, today's incident wouldn't have happened. If you trust us, just hand Mr. Yuan Xi over to us. Everyone has weaknesses, and weaknesses can be overcome. Miss, just concentrate on the competition. Tong Yao and I will take care of what's happening outside." Tong Jue knew that Feng Qingchen was good to them, and she also intended to get closer to him.

"I believe you." Feng Qingchen stood up, left these words and went back to his room.

This is a test, not a test of trust in Tong Jue and Tong Yao, but a test of their abilities. If they pass the test, they will not only be the maids beside Feng Qingchen, but also the managers of Feng Mansion and Zhongyi Marquis Mansion.

"Miss, don't worry. We will not let you down." They are not afraid of things being difficult to accomplish, but they are afraid of not being able to accomplish anything. Tong Jue and Tong Yao are full of fighting spirit and vow to deal with Mr. Yuan Xi.

It's good to have capable subordinates. Feng Qingchen has become a hands-off boss. She is not sure whether Tong Jue and Tong Yao can deal with Mr. Yuan Xi, but she can deal with those people outside who forced her to play the piano. If she doesn't even have this means, she will be sorry for the Wang family.

Feng Qingchen prepared for the competition the next day with peace of mind. Having learned the lesson from the previous day, Feng Qingchen kept a low profile the next day. She wore a lilac long dress, which was delicate and elegant. Her every move showed her elegance and leisure. She was calm and composed, and her charm was natural, which made people's eyes follow her involuntarily.

Su Wan was just the opposite of her. She was wearing a royal blue palace dress, dignified and elegant, with an air of superiority. As luck would have it, the two met at the entrance and stopped at the same time...

Because the place where they were competing today was not the Imperial Palace, but the Imperial Academy. As luck would have it, the stone gate of the academy could only accommodate one person...

Who goes in first is the question!
