In this world, which lady of a noble family doesn't learn to embroider and write poetry? Who would learn swordplay or horse riding?

Although Mr. Xiao is the legitimate son of the Duke of England and is very handsome, everyone in the capital knows that he does nothing all day long, is famous for his promiscuity, fights, gambles, and does all kinds of evil things. No one in a powerful family is willing to marry their daughter to him.

Many girls saw that Xiao Tuo was handsome and had a crush on him, but after hearing what the Duke's wife said, the little flame that had just risen because of her brother's handsomeness was extinguished in an instant.

Seeing Jiang Yuanyi's stunned look, the princess lowered her head and smiled softly with her hands covering her face.

Jiang Yuanyi blushed a little, but quickly calmed down. She walked to the side of the princess, knelt down and bowed, and said softly: "Recently, Liuli Music House has released a pipa piece that is particularly beautiful. I think the ladies and young ladies have not heard it yet. I dared to try it, but I am sorry for making a fool of myself."

The maid in the palace hurriedly took the pipa and brought a chair to the front.

Jiang Yuanyi took the pipa, raised her right leg, put the pipa down, tucked her chin slightly, and lowered her eyes slightly.

The woman had a slender waist, a straight back, and very beautiful profile lines. She pressed the strings with her left hand and plucked with her right hand.

The clear and smooth sound like running water poured out, the music was bright and pleasant, and it sounded lingering and joyful, like a shy girl's first love.

Suddenly, she plucked the strings more slowly, each note became sadder and sharper than the last. The girl frowned slightly, her eyes were slightly red, as if she was in grief. The music was slow and sad, and just as the listeners were immersed in it, her slender fingertips suddenly sped up.

The music, stronger and smoother than the last, gushed out, like thousands of horses riding in, thousands of drums ringing, thousands of beasts wailing, the sound was majestic and magnificent, but full of unspeakable sadness. After the emotions were rendered to the extreme, the music stopped abruptly.

Before everyone could react, they thought the performance had ended. But she lowered her head again, smiled sweetly, and plucked the strings with her fingertips. A crisp and rhythmic sound rang out, which was extremely festive.

The girl's eyes were bright, and after she played a very beautiful ending, she stood up with the pipa, bowed slightly to the princess, and said loudly: "I wish the princess a long life and good fortune."

The princess smiled and took Jiang Yuanyi's hand: "Miss, you are thoughtful."

When the princess was young, she had experienced ups and downs with Prince Hui and suffered a lot of hardships in the world. Now, she has finally gotten her wish, with children and happiness.

And this weak woman just now played the pipa with a force that swallowed the mountains and rivers. She was not as weak as she looked on the surface, and the Duke's wife nodded secretly.

In the pavilion not far away, the Sixth Prince Liu Yi put down his cup, turned his head indifferently, looked at the vague graceful figure in the flower hall, and asked, "Whose daughter is this?"

He was wearing a royal blue silk gown with five bats holding a longevity flower, his hair was neatly combed, and a jade hairpin was inserted in his hair crown. He had a diamond-shaped face, long and sharp eyes, a high nose bridge, and a handsome and shrewd appearance.

Chu Huan looked over and recognized the figure, saying, "I don't know."

But someone below interrupted and said, "This is the second daughter of the Jiang family, Jiang Yuanyi." Chu Huan tightened his grip on the wine glass, and his fingertips pinched white.

Everyone didn't know what the Sixth Prince was thinking, and dared not say anything more.

Xiao Tuo sat aside, frowned, and looked at the Sixth Prince with some displeasure.

What's her name, and what does it have to do with you?

The third prince sat to the side, wearing a bright yellow gown. He was not handsome, but his face was smooth and his nose was straight, which made him look pretty. However, his eyes were cloudy and his eyebrows were gray, making him look weak and feeble.

He raised his head and drank the wine in one gulp, saying, "This is the first time that my sixth brother has asked about a girl. What kind of looks do you have in your eyes? Why don't you invite the girl over here?!"

Xiao Tuo became even more upset and looked at the third prince, "The girl played a song for the princess among the other girls. It's inappropriate for the third prince to invite her here so abruptly, isn't it?"

The third prince looked up at Xiao Tuo and saw that he was raising his eyebrows and looked nonchalant. He snorted and said, "Why is it inappropriate?"

Xiao Tuo lowered his eyes slightly to hide the coldness in his eyes, "It shows that the third prince is too frivolous."

One is the fearless Xiao Tuo, and the other is the dignified third prince. The two of them were whispering to each other, and the surroundings were so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

The Sixth Prince looked at the two of them and said calmly, "Third brother, I am just amazed by the girl's piano skills. It is inappropriate to invite her without permission."

The Third Prince frowned and said, "Then why don't you invite the girl to play a song? I haven't heard enough."

Everyone present knew that the Third Prince's invitation to the girl to play was fake, and he really wanted to embarrass the Sixth Prince. This treacherous situation dragged a little girl into it, and she was his sweetheart.

Xiao Tuo Xiao Tuo scratched his ears: "My ears hurt, I can't listen."

The third prince put the cup heavily on the table: "Xiao Tuo, you did it on purpose?"

Xiao Tuo looked at the third prince sincerely: "Third Prince, you can't say that to me. The sound of you putting the cup down just now hurt my ears."

The third prince was too lazy to argue with this shameless and unreasonable man, so he poured a glass of wine and gulped it down.

7 A handsome man with red lips and white teeth, dressed in dark green clothes, sat next to the third prince and never said a word.

The third prince was unhappy, looked at him, and said: "Doesn't the fourth brother like music the most? Why don't you call that woman to learn from him?"

This person was the fourth prince of the dynasty, Liu Xiu. Because his mother was born in a humble family and died early in the palace, and he himself was weak and sickly, he was the least favored among the princes. Liu Xiu pursed his lips and smiled, his voice soft: "Mr. Xiao's ears are uncomfortable, so it's better not to bother with it."

The third prince didn't expect that he would return to Xiao Tuo while talking. He glared at him, but he couldn't do anything to him.

Xiao Tuo had a bad reputation to begin with, so people would not be too harsh on him no matter what he did, but he was a prince, so he still had to be reasonable in doing things. Soon, the singing started on the stage, and everyone's attention was attracted to it, so they didn't bother with the matter anymore.

Amid the noisy voices, Chu Huan looked at Xiao Tuo who was half lying and drinking across the crowd.

Why did he defend her like this?

Just now in the woodshed, he thought Xiao Tuo just happened to help, but now it seems that this is not the case.

His eyes deepened, he picked up the wine glass, and drank it all.

After the pipa piece was finished, Jiang Yuanyi had also taken the spotlight.

He Huilan held the hand under her sleeve tightly, smiled sweetly, raised her head and looked at the Princess of Huiqin: "Princess, Lan'er also wants to play a piece for you to celebrate your birthday."

The princess smiled and said, "Of course."

He Huilan sent someone to bring the guzheng, sat in front, dressed in white, with an elegant temperament.

She was also very good at playing the piano, her fingers flew, and the sound of the piano flowed out like water. He Huilan played a very cheerful song, which was very appropriate to the occasion. The sound of the piano spread out from the flower hall. The third prince took a look

and said, "Isn't this Concubine Zhao Gui's biological sister?" Chu Huan smiled and said nothing.

The third prince continued, "Chu Huan, isn't that your future wife? Why don't you go and visit her?"

Chu Huan smiled and shook his head, "That would embarrass Miss He."

Xiao Tuo rolled his eyes at the third prince, who was a busybody, and felt bored listening to the opera.

It was almost dusk, the sun was approaching the west, and the huge sun in the sky was slowly setting with golden light. The dinner in the palace was also ready. The eunuch in the palace suddenly stood at the gate of the back garden and screamed: "The emperor has arrived!"

All the girls walked out of the flower hall, slightly bent their knees, bowed their heads and saluted: "Long live the emperor!"

Many girls from noble families saw the current emperor for the first time, and looked up curiously at the man wearing bright yellow casual clothes and a yellow crown under the arch of the garden. The

emperor was already middle-aged, with a sagging face and a big belly. The girls lowered their eyes in disappointment.

Prince Hui went up to greet the emperor, and the two walked towards the main hall together. The girls also went to the side hall for dinner under the guidance of the maids.

The dinner was more sumptuous. The maids kept serving dishes. It took three rounds before they were all served. The table was almost full. Jiang Yuanyi ate a few bites casually and just wanted to go back home quickly.

There were all kinds of people at the birthday banquet. Who knows what will happen in a while. But there was a small tea party after the dinner. I don’t know when it will end.

After the dinner, the women, led by the maids, came to the largest pavilion in the garden. The young masters of the noble families knelt on the other side, and the girls were on this side. There was a long wooden table in the middle.

This was the first time that the young masters and girls sat face to face without a veil or a wall between them. The girls all lowered their heads and walked over shyly. Jiang Yuanyi borrowed a veil from the palace, lowered her eyes and walked to the back and sat down.

She stuck her head out and looked, and saw Xiao Tuo sitting in the fifth seat on the right, with handsome features and very good-looking.

The young men in front of them were stunned for a moment as they saw a fairy-like person sitting in front of them, two steps away, with a graceful figure and stunning features.

Xiao Tuo frowned and looked at those young men, wishing he could dig out their eyes and look at them again and again.

Of course, those young men couldn't hear Xiao Tuo cursing them in his heart, and their eyes were almost fixed on the girls opposite.

Xiao Tuo picked up the teacup and drank it in frustration, and almost burned his lips.

Could he just sit over there?

The emperor and the prince were sitting right in front. The emperor picked up the tea and tasted it. He raised his eyebrows and praised, "Where did you find this tea, my brother? It's so fragrant."

Prince Hui said, "It was sent by the Jiang family, a tea merchant in Jiangnan. It's fresh spring tea that has just been picked."

The emperor nodded, "Not bad."

He remembered something and said, "When you came to the palace a few months ago, didn't you tell me that your servants went to the Jiang family to study for a few months, and their tea-making skills improved by leaps and bounds."

Prince Hui nodded in response, "Yes, didn't they make this tea today?"

"That's not what I meant," the emperor waved his hand and pointed down, "Did anyone from the Jiang family come today?"

Xiao Tuo suddenly raised his eyes and looked at the emperor, and heard Prince Hui's wife laugh and say, "Of course they are here, they're sitting there." After that, she pointed to the back.

Jiang Yuanyi and Jiang Xirong sat far away and could not hear what the emperor said. When they were fiddling with the tea, they saw everyone's eyes gathered on them. Some did not understand and some had swords hidden. Tea

parties are tacitly known to be the gathering place for young people. Jiang did not follow and had tea in the side hall.

Jiang Xirong blushed a little and leaned her head to her sister's ear: "Sister, what happened?"

Jiang Yuanyi also shook her head.

The voice of the third prince Liu Hai suddenly rang out. He shouted loudly, and his words were full of guns and sticks. Jiang Yuanyi and Jiang Xirong also heard it clearly-

"Do you want the emperor to invite you to come forward in person?!"
