Chapter 143 She is Qin Ji
After the palace banquet began, in addition to the programs that had been arranged in advance by the palace, there were also programs selected by various mansions.
The things in the palace have always been the same for years, and even with updates and replacements, there is not much difference. After all, the people in the Ministry of Rites are very strict about their regulations.
The Ministry of Rites generally does not review the programs of each mansion, and if something goes wrong, the mansion that selected the candidates will be held responsible.
More people were waiting for the one selected by the Gu family, even though they knew in advance that Qin Ji would be performing.
This should be the first time that Qin Ji appeared in public after becoming famous, and she also played Luqi.
All the attractive things were taken by the Gu family, and the other mansions were somewhat jealous.
As for the Zhou family and the Ye family, they can already be described as jealous.
Gu Congyun and Zhuang Hefeng always had faint smiles on their faces, but in fact they were also very excited inside. After knowing their daughter's other identity, they had to try their best to suppress their desire to show off, which was very difficult.
When the eunuch announced that the next program was to be presented by the Gu family, everyone below really became excited.
In front of everyone, Gu Ruanci slowly walked onto the stage.
Except for a very few people who knew the truth, everyone was confused.
"What is she going to do?"
"Isn't the Gu family's chosen performance Qin Ji playing the zither? Why is she joining in the fun?"
"Do you want to sing with Qin Ji? Could it be that Qin Ji has been staying at the Gu family these days just to train this Chaoyang County Master?"
Everyone's speculation is getting more and more off track.
Someone followed up on this and said, "That Qin Ji is really working so hard."
"Isn't this really unnecessary for the Gu family? It would be so nice to let Qin Ji play the piano quietly by herself, but they have to add unnecessary details, and they don't even know what the details are..."
"Don't say that. What if he really is capable..."
The sound of people whispering and talking to each other did not affect Gu Ruanci.
She walked over to the piano stand and sat down.
Soon, Nongchun and Zangxia respectfully carried Luqi over and carefully placed it in front of Gu Ruanci.
"Lüqi, that's the famous qin Lüqi, right?"
"Are you kidding me? Didn't the Gu family want Qin Ji to play? Why did they suddenly change the person?"
"The county lady is indeed capable. She used her status to force Qin Ji to teach her the zither at Gu's house for a few days, and then she dared to bring Lu Qi on stage. She even wanted to steal the limelight at this palace banquet..."
The discussion among the crowd changed direction again.
Gu Ruanci was still not affected, but the emperor and others in the stands were confused.
Lu Enyan remained calm. Lu Enlian, who was sitting next to him, took one look at him and guessed, "She is Qin Ji?"
"There's a lot you don't know about her."
Lu Enlian did not ask any more questions, but waited quietly.
When Gu Ruanci raised his hand, the extremely standard posture scared quite a few people.
Lu Wenxue, who was extremely jealous just now, was thinking that this bitch actually dared to play the Luqi that she had always dreamed of. When she heard the first note played by Gu Ruanci, she was dumbfounded.
Zhou Yuqi, who has been in a bad state these days, has just been staring at Gu Ruanci.
He was in a very complicated mood, and felt very painful when thinking about what he had said to his sister before.
He was even more shocked when he heard the music played by Gu Ruanci.
This was the song that Qin Ji sang that won the music competition that day.
"She is Qinji."
Although Zhou Yuqi's voice was not loud, everyone in the Zhou family heard it clearly.
Zhou Qinzhu couldn't help but asked directly: "Third brother, what did you say? Gu Ruanci is Qin Ji?"
The people nearby naturally spread the word, and eventually everyone in the audience knew about it.
Lian Yuyan was a little surprised, but the skills displayed by Gu Ruanci were indeed far better than hers.
Wu Yixuan finally understood why those who were selected that day were all in a separate compartment, and why Qin Ji mysteriously disappeared after playing.
The Gu family was very proud, as they finally didn't have to hide the secret anymore.
Those who were originally unsure, after seeing their expressions, also knew that Gu Ruanci was indeed hiding his identity.
"Didn't they say Qin Ji was a middle-aged woman?"
"Yes, everyone says she is Senior Qin Ji, why is it Gu Ruanci?"
"Is it possible that Qin Ji taught her for a few days at the Gu family... Never mind, I don't believe it myself."
Gu Ruanci ignored the people below and played the piano seriously.
There was not only shock and admiration in Lu Enyou's eyes, but even love and possession.
The Queen Mother glanced at her son and was slightly stunned.
If Gu Ruanci became her daughter-in-law, she would definitely not mind.
However, the Empress Dowager will probably try to match her up with Lu Enyan.
Forget it, let the children find a way to fight for it themselves.
The child of the Gu family must be right.
The more Gu Ruanci immersed himself in the story, the more intoxicated everyone became.
Zhou Qinzhu was so jealous that she could hardly contain herself. Why could she be so outstanding even though she was raised outside?
Zhou Zhili also felt extremely uncomfortable. If he had known that his daughter would achieve such success, he should have kept her.
Now all her glory has nothing to do with the Zhou family.
Ye Lanxin was in a complicated mood. The life she had lived in these years had not destroyed Gu Ruanci, but had made her famous.
Those who hated her hated her even more, those who were just on the sidelines began to admire her, and those who already admired her became obsessed with her.
"She hid it too deeply..."
Ye Chi's face was gloomy. He had never thought that such a thing would happen before.
"This damn girl, no wonder she's so confident, it turns out she's been away learning a skill all these years..."
Shang Hongmian thought that Gu Runci had taken so much of his private property and brought shame to his family, especially since she had embarrassed his youngest son several times before, so he wanted to kill Gu Runci.
"This tune is truly refreshing..."
The emperor couldn't help but sigh, even though the court musicians' skills were already top-notch in Dayao.
Compared with Gu Ruanci, it is indeed less lively and natural, and more artificial.
When Gu Ruanci withdrew her hand, the curve of her wrist just formed a small halo in the sunlight, and her profile made people in that direction feel as if they were seeing a goddess.
"It's really amazing..." After a while, someone spoke.
The cheers and applause from the crowd made Lu Wenxue's face twist with anger.
"Ruanci, so you are the famous Qin Ji..." The emperor laughed, unexpectedly unlocking another identity for Gu Ruanci.
"This humble servant is not sincerely concealing anything, I just don't want to show off. I beg Your Majesty to forgive me."
Gu Ruanci's answer made Lu Wenxue feel that she was pretending.
What have you learned from the court musicians over the years?
If Gu Ruanci was the Qin Ji, why should he become her disciple? If he didn't become her disciple, how would he get the Luqi Qin in the future? Even if he became her disciple, they were of similar age, so why would Gu Ruanci pass the Qin to him?
ah……
She was about to break down from thinking too much.
"What crime have you committed? This is your ability. It is truly worthwhile to be able to hear Qin Ji perform at today's event."
