She curved her lips, raised her eyes and looked at the Queen and said, "My Lady, is this just a concubine selection banquet prepared for His Highness the Crown Prince?"

The queen's expression changed slightly. She didn't expect that a tricky question would be thrown at her.

Touching the sharp eyes of the regent Xiao Sheng, she smiled and said: "Of course not, your statement is within the rules, so it is correct!"

Xiao Rui still wanted to fight for it, but he heard Xiao Sheng say coldly: "It's rare for a noble lady to be willing to run for the regent princess. If the prince is blocking her like this, does it mean that he wants your uncle and me to die alone?"

"My nephew doesn't dare!" Xiao Rui quickly saluted with a white face.

Xiao Sheng's cold eyes passed over him and finally landed on Lin Ruoyou. He said softly: "I have ordered someone to fetch Xuan Yue Qin. You can come on stage!"

Lin Ruoyou's heart skipped a beat. He had predicted it in advance?

Before she could figure it out, a secret guard had already presented Xuan Yueqin's hands in front of her.

As soon as the piano came out, everyone's eyes turned red with jealousy.

Especially Song Yujue, the desire for possession in his eyes was extremely fervent.

In the past, when it was in the hands of the eldest princess, she couldn't fight for it due to her status, but now it fell into the hands of a idiot, and she had to snatch it away.

She sarcastically said: "Since the piano has been delivered, why don't you trouble Miss Lin to start your performance?"

Lin Ruoyou reached out and held Qin in her arms, and walked slowly towards the high platform.

The cold wind blew up the hem of her skirt, making her face even more serious.

Xiao Sheng stared at her with frowning eyes, feeling the cold aura emanating from her body. He couldn't help but frown. Where did this little girl get such heavy resentment?

Is it possible that she is simply unwilling to run for the position of Princess Regent?Is it just that the situation forces you to make such a request?

Thinking of this, a flash of frost flashed across his handsome face!

In the entire dynasty, he was the only one who looked down on others!

The sound of the piano suddenly sounded, startling the birds in the garden to fly around.

Lin Ruoyou lowered her head and played the piano with no distractions, and her desolate tone quickly surrounded everyone's ears.

Song Yujue narrowed her eyes in disdain and snorted secretly. She thought she was so powerful, but it turned out that she was nothing more than that.

But the further I listened, the more frightened I became.

She felt an unprecedented sadness and anger filling her heart, as if everything had been taken away from her. In the end, she was the only one left to live miserably in this world.

She shook her head violently and cried loudly: "No!"

A sound was like a rolling thunder that woke everyone up. They all immediately realized that they had been filled with emotions in the sound of the piano, and unknowingly, they had burst into tears.

Even the queen's eyes were red, as she thought about her difficulties in the palace and the dirty tricks she used to fight for favor.

She wanted to break free from the shackles of the music, but she couldn't.

Until Song Yujue's cry came!

She quickly wiped away her tears with a brocade handkerchief without leaving a trace. When she raised her eyes again, her face returned to calmness and composure.

She was secretly shocked by Lin Ruoyou's superb piano skills. If this woman could become the crown princess, she would definitely be a great help.

After making up her mind, she raised the corners of her lips and said, "Miss Lin is indeed very skilled at playing the piano. This Xuanyue Qin is in your hands, and you deserve it!"

Song Yujue bit her lip in grievance. She was ashamed of herself for having made a fool of herself just now. Wasn't it obvious that she was admitting defeat?

She covered up the jealousy and hatred in her eyes and said, "My daughter is also very impressed. I wonder if I can ask Miss Lin for advice?"

Lin Ruoyou refused unceremoniously: "No!"

If she lives her life again, she won't have a good look on people who make trouble for her, and she won't even be willing to deal with it.

A look of embarrassment flashed across Song Yujue's face. Why should a bitch embarrass her in public?

She gritted her teeth, but she could only dare to be angry and dare not speak.

The Queen reconciled the situation at the right time. She looked at the old lady next to her and said, "Okay, the talent show is over now. Let's go to the Lake Pavilion to enjoy the lotus flowers. Are the boats ready?"

The old mama nodded quickly: "Everything is ready, ladies and gentlemen, you can go at any time!"

The queen got up first and led everyone to the edge of the lotus pond.

The so-called Lake Center Pavilion is built in the middle of the Lotus Lake. It is surrounded by blooming lotus flowers and is simply beautiful.

A lady with whom I had made friends boarded the boat together, with happy smiles on their faces.

Lin Ruoyou had no friends in the first place, and was planning to wait until the last boat ride when Princess Pei Ruyou hugged her from behind: "Come on, will you come with me?"

There was a flash of hesitation in her eyes, and she looked around and said, "Your Highness, aren't you afraid that my reputation will insult your identity?"

Pei Ru took her arm and said, "I know now that the rumors may not be true. Besides, if you don't come with me, will you go to other princes' ships?"

Lin Ruoyou turned around and looked over, wasn't it? All the boats were crowded with noble ladies from various houses and their maids, and there was really no room for her.

She could only bend her eyes and smile softly: "Thank you, Your Highness, Princess!"

As soon as the two of them walked onto the boat, they saw Song Yujue running over with the little maid not far away.

She shouted anxiously: "Princess Pei Ru, please wait for me!"

Pei Ru put her hands on her hips dissatisfied: "Why should I wait for you? You go find another ship, we can't accommodate you here anymore!"

Song Yujue's eyes were red with anger. She had just changed into new clothes and got fresh powder, and she didn't want to be crowded with others.

Looking around, only this ship is loose.

She begged softly: "Princess Pei Ru, weren't we friends before? How could you leave me alone?"

Pei Ru raised her chin and interrupted: "Don't be too cynical. Don't I know you? The last time I attended the poetry festival, you teamed up with other noble ladies to crowd me out and deliberately made me look embarrassed. Secretly, you also called me an ignorant and stupid girl!"

Song Yujue's face turned pale and she subconsciously denied: "I didn't!"

Princess Pei Ru ignored her and turned to look at the boatman: "Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and row!"

Seeing that the boat was about to row away, when Song Yujue was at his wits' end, an old nun's voice suddenly sounded in his ears: "Your Highness, the Queen has asked you to take the slaves and Miss Song with you!"

Princess Pei Ru cursed in disappointment: "What a troublemaker, a mangy dog ​​that I can't even drive away!"

Lin Ruoyou narrowed her eyes warily. The nanny beside the queen personally sent Song Yujue to the boat, fearing that she had some evil plot.

She quietly stepped aside, far away from the two of them.

Jealousy flashed in Song Yujue's eyes. She was obviously the most talented and beautiful woman in the dynasty, but this stupid girl stole the limelight at the banquet. She must be taught a lesson.

At this time, the old nanny smiled and said: "Ladies, do you know that in addition to lotus flowers, this Jingxin Lake also has a very spectacular scene!"

Song Yujue asked curiously: "What is it?"
