After being married off, she was favored by the powerful official

Since Prince Yu and his entourage showed up, the girls at the table all sat upright, displaying the demeanor of daughters of aristocratic families. They would only glance at the men's seats from time to time, and their faces would slightly blush when they saw a young man they liked.

Madam Jiang smiled and said to Jiang Fengqi, "Fengqi, you should play a song at the beginning, so as not to make the other girls nervous."

"Yes, mother."

Jiang Fengqi stood up slowly, with a dignified and elegant posture, and her slender and tender white fingers lightly touched the strings of the zither. The strings were plucked, and the lingering sound of the song "Spring River Moon Night" was immersive.

Everyone was listening in fascination. Gu Jin whispered, "This Miss Jiang is a very good pianist."

Murong Qing replied, "Of course. Jiang Fengqi is the most talented woman in the capital, the daughter of the Jiang family who has been nurtured with all their efforts, and the one who has long been chosen as the Princess of Prince Yu."

If Prince Yu can successfully seize the throne, then Jiang Fengqi will be the next Queen of Chen. This is also the reason why Murong Qing did not dare to make trouble in the Jiang Mansion.

After the song was over, Prince Yu clapped his hands and praised: "Cousin Fengqi's piano skills are really getting better and better. The lingering music can make you forget the taste of meat for three months."

"Your Highness, you are too kind." Jiang Fengqi did not take advantage of the fact that the other party was his cousin. His every word, action, frown and smile were all in accordance with etiquette, dignified, calm, humble and polite.

Prince Yu had long known that Empress Dowager Jiang and the Imperial Concubine preferred Jiang Fengqi to be his princess, and he had no complaints about this cousin.

"Cousin Fengqi is still so modest. Mother often talks about you in the palace. If you have nothing to do, you can come to the palace more often to chat with her."

Jiang Fengqi half-lowered his eyes and replied respectfully, "Yes, Your Highness."

Watching the interaction between the two, Mrs. Jiang's smile deepened.

"Ms. Jiang is beautiful and talented. Mrs. Jiang is really blessed. Unlike the maids in my family, they are a real worry to me."

Mrs. Jiang curled the corners of her lips and looked at Jiang Fengqi with eyes full of pride and love.

"Parents have to worry, and it's the same in every family." Mrs. Jiang was disdainful in her heart, but she still maintained the necessary humility.

Her daughter has been taught by the maids in the palace since she was young, and has been instructed in the arts of music, chess, calligraphy and painting. How can other families compare to her?

When Prince Yu ascends the throne, their Jiang family will have another queen.

After Jiang Fengqi showed off her talent, Mrs. Jiang lost interest in the following performances. She winked at Jiang Wanyue, who understood and stood up and said with a smile, "I have prepared flower notes. Whoever I draw will do us the honor of showing off their talent. How do you think?"

This arrangement is the most reasonable and can prevent the ladies from feeling dissatisfied with the order of performances.

Prince Yu looked closely at the daughter of the second wife. Although she was born out of wedlock, this daughter was very versatile and well-rounded. It turned out that all the girls in the Jiang family were excellent.

After Jiang Wanyue finished speaking, she smiled and said to Madam Jiang: "Aunt, Wanyue dares to ask you for a reward today. If the lady's talent wins first place, you must give her a good thing!"

Mrs. Jiang readily agreed and ordered her maid to bring a fist-sized pigeon blood ruby. "This ruby ​​is transparent. Whoever gets it can set it in jewelry. It will be very exquisite."

As expected of the Jiang family, they made a big move right away, and all the young ladies were eager to try.

Gu Jin was a little envious.

Seeing this, Murong Qing asked, "If you like it, go up and try it!"

Gu Jin squinted at her, "Do you think I have any talent?"

Only then did Murong Qing think of Gu Jin's reputation as a fool that was known throughout the capital, and she smiled awkwardly.

One by one, the girls came forward to show their talents. There were skilled dancers who stunned the audience with their stunning dance, and there were those who were good at playing the pipa whose tunes were as light as pearls falling on a jade plate.

Jiang Wanyue took out another piece of flowery paper from the bamboo tube, and when she saw the name on it, she smiled and said loudly: "Thank you, Third Young Madam..."

Gu Jin and Murong Qing were cracking melon seeds and discussing their thoughts after watching the movie. Suddenly, someone called out to Gu Jin, who was unable to react for a moment. Murong Qing said with a somewhat unpleasant expression, "It seems like someone is calling you, right?"

Everyone followed Jiang Wanyue's gaze and saw a delicate face as beautiful as the morning glory suddenly appearing behind a pile of melon seeds. The girl seemed to be frightened and her eyes were sparkling and bright.

She slowly raised her head, and she was so beautiful that she shone like a bright pearl and made people lose their minds.

Prince Yu raised his eyes casually, but when he saw Gu Jin's beautiful face, a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes.

There is such a beauty in the capital?

Jiang Wanyue smiled slowly and said, "Thank you, Third Young Madam. Please come in."

Li Ying'er and Gu Rou smiled at each other, they knew Gu Jin's strength even though others didn't. The Jiang family was finally going to take action to deal with her.

Gu Jin sat up straight, looked at Jiang Wanyue and blinked, "What do you want me to do? Eat? I'm eating."

Jiang Wanyue was stunned for a moment, then quickly smiled and said, "Third Young Madam is joking. Naturally, I want you to show your talent..."

Gu Jin's eyes widened in surprise, "You are kidding, right? Everyone knows that I am uneducated and uneducated, so what talents can I have!"

Jiang Wanyue: “…” There’s no need to be so frank.

"The Third Young Madam is too self-deprecating..."

Gu Jin waved his hands, not listening to Jiang Wanyue's encouragement at all, and said confidently: "Really, if you don't believe me, ask the others present, they all know it."

Everyone was speechless for a moment. When they mentioned Gu Jin in their chat, they couldn't help but laugh at him, but after Gu Jin said that, it seemed as if they were all gossips.

Gu Jin didn't care what they thought and said to himself: "Besides, I didn't say I wanted to participate, how did my name get into the bamboo tube?

Oh no! Could it be that someone put it there on purpose to make me look bad? "

Jiang Wanyue: “…” How could she respond?

Gu Rou: “…” This familiar smell, this feeling of not caring about other people’s lives, Gu Jin really knows how to make people unhappy!

Mrs. Jiang had never expected Gu Jin to react like this. If it were a normal person, he would either bite the bullet and come out to make a fool of himself, or cry in shame. Who would proudly say that he was a fool?

"Hahahaha..." After a moment of silence, Li Ziheng burst into laughter, and even tears came out of the corners of his eyes.

This little Jin'er is so interesting!

"That makes sense! This prince hates those whining scholars the most. If anyone dares to ask me to recite poems or compose couplets at a banquet, I will definitely break his legs!"

After Li Ziheng finished speaking, he smiled flatteringly at Gu Jin. Gu Jin raised his eyebrows. This sentence sounded reasonable. So, let's not castrate him for the time being...
