Chapter 133 Who Sings Well
After Gao Pianran finished singing, her whole face turned red. She quickly stepped back and sat down to drink tea to calm down and avoid embarrassment.
"Good, very good, a pair of jade ruyi!" The emperor immediately praised happily, "Who else wants to sing?"
When everyone heard that there was really a reward, it was a gift, even if it was kept at home, it would still be a face, and immediately several ladies couldn't hold back.
Gao Pianran was relieved to see someone singing again. It would be embarrassing if one person sang alone, but if there were many people, it wouldn't matter.
She glanced at the Fourth Prince Jun Wuyang and saw that he was looking at her and smiling slightly. Gao Pianran was immediately satisfied.
"Fourth brother, Miss Gao seems to be very interested in you." The Sixth Prince leaned against Jun Wuyang and laughed.
The princes have maids serving them since they were thirteen years old, so they are already familiar with these matters.
"Don't talk nonsense." Jun Wuyang was suddenly startled and looked towards Ye Yuqing.
He happened to see Ye Yuqing staring at him with some disbelief.
Jun Wuyang was startled, afraid that if she saw him smiling at Gao Pianran, she would think that he liked Gao Pianran and didn't want her.
Jun Wuyang was a little panicked. He and Ye Yuqing were childhood sweethearts, and he had always wanted to marry her as the prince's consort. However, she was the granddaughter of the Minister of Works, and her family was very well-off. In addition, his maternal family was also very powerful, so he did not dare to propose marriage, fearing that the emperor would worry too much.
But he had already decided in his heart to marry Ye Yuqing as his principal wife. As for Gao Pianran, this woman came to him on her own accord, and he just made a mistake that all men would make.
Thinking of this, he immediately smiled at Ye Yuqing, but Ye Yuqing turned her head away and stopped looking at him, making Jun Wuyang panic in an instant.
But I couldn't try to coax her at this moment, so I could only stop looking at Gao Pianran.
What happened next was that no one expected was that more than a dozen noble ladies sang little songs and received rewards, which made Gao Pianran unable to stop laughing.
On such a cold face, there was actually the charm of a seductive woman.
"Your Majesty, who do you think sings the best ditty?" Mo Yunzhu suddenly asked.
The emperor was stunned. He knew it, of course, but he couldn't say it. Once he said it, it would seem like he fell in love with someone. After all, it was Xiaoqu, and he couldn't let Mo Yunzhu misunderstand him.
"What do you think, Her Majesty?" The Emperor threw the question directly to the Empress.
The queen was stunned. What does this mean?
They were still discussing who sang the ditty better, which didn't sound serious.
"Why not let a few princes talk about it, hehe." Mo Yunzhu showed an evil look.
The evil nature of the emperor was immediately aroused by Mo Yunzhu, and he immediately said, "Yes, it is up to them to choose the person they like. It is their turn to choose."
The emperor asked his six sons, "Which noblewoman do you think sings the best?"
The six princes were all stunned, and then their faces turned red. They felt that what happened today was so strange.
"Everyone must speak!" the emperor said immediately, "Don't you have any ability to appreciate it? Prince, you speak first."
The prince blushed and said, "I think Miss Lu sang well."
Everyone looked at him, then at the Third Prince, who immediately said, "I still think Miss Gao sings better."
Mo Yunzhu looked at Jun Wuyang, and the noble ladies below also pricked up their ears.
When Gao Pianran heard the Third Prince say that she sang beautifully, her face turned red again. She thought to herself that she had learned singing from a brothel girl, but no one knew about this.
"Old Four, what do you think?"
Jun Wuyang looked a little awkward and said, "I think Miss Xu sings well."
Gao Pianran's face instantly froze. He had clearly said that he sang very well, the kind that made him not want to go home.
Chen Xiner suddenly laughed and said, "Shouldn't the Fourth Prince say that Miss Gao sings beautifully?"
Her voice was neither loud nor soft, and it seemed as if she was speaking to the noble lady next to her, but many people also heard what she said.
"What did you say?" Ye Yuqing immediately turned around and asked Chen Xiner from a few tables away.
Chen Xiner suddenly became a little nervous and said, "Ah, I, I didn't say anything!"
"You just said that the Fourth Prince should say that Miss Gao sings beautifully?" Ye Yuqing suddenly stood up.
Chen Xiner covered her mouth. Mo Yunzhu looked at the emperor. The emperor knew she was gossiping and immediately asked, "What's going on down there?"
When Chen Xiner saw Mo Yunzhu's look, she immediately stepped forward and knelt before the emperor.
"Yes, I said something accidentally."
"Oh, what did you say? Why did you scare Miss Ye like this?" The emperor was also curious.
Jun Wuyang rushed to Chen Xiner and said, "Don't talk nonsense!"
"How insolent!" The emperor hated it most when his son acted on his own in front of him, and he immediately felt that Jun Wuyang had overstepped the line.
Jun Wuyang was so scared that he knelt on the ground and said he didn't dare.
"Are you Chen Chunsheng's daughter?" The emperor looked at Chen Xiner again.
Chen Xiner nodded and said, "Your Majesty, I just said this later. I have no other intention."
"It's okay to tell me about it," the emperor said immediately.
Chen Xiner said, "The Fourth Prince said that Miss Xu sang beautifully, and I said, shouldn't the Fourth Prince also say that Miss Gao sang beautifully? I didn't say anything else."
Jun Wuyang's face was pale, and Gao Pianran was just as pale as him. The only thing on their minds was that their tryst was seen by Chen Xiner.
"Oh, why do you say that? Has the fourth brother ever heard Miss Gao sing a little song before?" The emperor narrowed his eyes.
Chen Xiner trembled and seemed afraid to speak.
"Tell me, otherwise you will be committing the crime of deceiving the emperor." Mo Yunzhu said.
Chen Xiner immediately kowtowed and said anxiously: "This subject did not mean it. It is just that I saw the Fourth Prince and Miss Gao together before."
"Wow!" Suddenly a cry of surprise broke out from the lady.
The blood on Ye Yuqing's face suddenly turned pale and her body was shaking as if she was about to fall.
"Together? What does being together mean? Where?" the emperor suddenly roared.
The fourth prince and the daughter of the Grand Tutor, the emperor immediately felt that there was a conspiracy here, and his eyes suddenly turned to Concubine Xiu who had been sitting there without saying a word.
But at this moment, Concubine Xiu Gui was also stunned. She had clearly told Jun Wuyang that he must marry Ye Yuqing, so how did it become Gao Pianran?
You should know that the Xiu family and the Taifu family have a grudge against each other.
"I saw the Fourth Prince taking Miss Gao into a civilian courtyard that day, and they didn't come out until more than two hours later." Chen Xiner said while crying.
Gao Pianran suddenly felt dizzy and pale, and she felt all the looks she got were of contempt.
"Fourth brother, is this serious?" the emperor asked angrily.
Jun Wuyang looked at Chen Xiner angrily. He couldn't understand how such a secret rendezvous could have been seen by Chen Xiner, and how could she have known about it for two hours?
He immediately realized that someone must be watching him from behind.
The Crown Prince had just fallen out of favor, the Empress was implicated, the Third Prince was dull, and I had the best chance. Unexpectedly...
