Lin Qianqian knew what was going on.

He was probably venting his anger for Cheng Jiayao.

Today, it was the Ninth Prince who came here to stir up trouble first.

If he really competed with her, that would be truly disgraceful. There was really no need to kill her for a verbal conflict, right?

Now think about it, the time-traveling girl Lin Qianqian is the biggest cannon fodder in the story. She has a conflict of interest with the heroine, so she must be suppressed to death.

As for the conflict of interests, one wants the love of the cannon fodder prince, and the other wants the power of stewardship...

Anyway, it's just the female supporting role who is mindlessly tearing up the protagonist and creating conflicts. Killing time-traveling women is so popular now. In order to punish time-traveling women, foot binding has become popular, and all the noble ladies in the city have to bind their feet.

"Seeing off a guest at night at the Xunyang River ~ The maple leaves and reeds are rustling in the autumn ~ The host dismounts and the guest stays on the boat ~"

"I want to drink but there is no music. I can't get drunk and I am sad to say goodbye. When we say goodbye, the vast river is immersed in the moonlight."

"Suddenly I heard the sound of a pipa on the water. The host forgot to go home and the guest did not leave. I followed the sound and asked who was playing it."

The story begins with a melodious song, followed by the smooth sound of the pipa.

The woman's voice was light, graceful, bright and clear, like a beautiful butterfly flying in the sky, and everyone present was mesmerized by it.

As soon as she opened her voice, the maple leaves and reeds from a thousand years ago suddenly took on color. The lights of Xunyang came alive again, and a moon rose from the center of the river.

Suddenly, the style of the painting changed and a soul-infused opera tune began, which instantly gave me goosebumps.

"The big strings are as noisy as heavy rain, and the small strings are as soft as whispers, like whispers."

"The sound of the strings is mixed and chaotic ~ the big and small pearls fall on the jade plate ~ falling on the jade plate ~"

"There is a hidden sorrow and hatred~ At this time, silence is better than sound~better than sound~"

……

The singing style of each section is different.

When it came to the part where the Pipa girl was narrating her own life, the recitation and the accompanying opera singing made it seem as if one could really see the Pipa girl herself narrating her miserable life.

"She said she was originally from the capital, her family lived at the foot of Xiamao Mausoleum, she learned to play the pipa at the age of thirteen, and was ranked first in the music school."

……

Those amber eyes that contained a pool of clear water were deep, resentful, and smart.

She didn't look at anyone in particular, but just looked into the distance, yet she attracted everyone's attention.

I only listened to one song, but it felt like I had seen a person's life.

"Who cried the most in the room? Sima Jiangzhou's blue shirt was wet ~ his blue shirt was wet ~"

"Jiangzhou Sima's blue shirt is wet~"

……

The song is over.

Buzzing.

After a while, warm applause broke out in the pavilion.

Zuo Si opened his folding fan and waved it gently in front of him. "What a beautiful song! It's so touching and plaintive, just like the Pipa Girl is alive."

"Ms. Lin sings with such charm and fluently, and her breath is so steady. Every time I listen to her, I feel it is so beautiful."

The words that Lin Qianqian had just said came back to the Fourth Prince’s mind.

"Love between men and women is human nature. You won't not have sex with your wife, right?"

"Men are animals dominated by their lower body."

He was so strong and outspoken just now when he criticized Lao Jiu, but now he sings so tenderly and tearfully, what a different face he really is.

He actually admired this stubbornness.

Liu Zhen, who was wearing a light green robe, raised his glass, raised his neck, and slowly poured the sake into his mouth. He glanced at the Fourth Prince's expression and smiled, "Fourth Prince, you won't change your mind about Lin Qianqian, right?"

The Fourth Prince said, "She has improved a little. She doesn't seem as bad as she looks."

Liu Zhen whispered: "She'd better learn her lesson and not offend me, otherwise..."

"It was supposed to be a happy gathering, but now it feels like Lin Qianqian has become the protagonist, and everyone here is just a spectator who came to listen to her sing."

Zuo Si thought to himself that if he hadn't heard that Lin Qianqian was invited to today's banquet, he would have found an excuse to decline long ago.

"Miss Lin, you've worked hard. Sit down and rest for a while."

Prince Beixuan invited Lin Qianqian to sit down, then turned to the maid next to him and said, "Serve tea to Miss Lin, and see what she wants to eat, and serve her the dishes."

The maid said yes, went to the side, picked up the teapot, poured a cup of maple tea, and handed it to Lin Qianqian.

"Thank you."

Lin Qianqian took the tea and smiled at the maid, who nodded in surprise.

Gu Huai picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of donkey meat, caught it with his hand, and brought it to her mouth.

Lin Qianqian opened her mouth and ate it, her eyes wide open in surprise, "Delicious!"

The donkey meat was delicious, tender and chewy. Lin Qianqian ate a few more slices under the curious gazes of the crowd.

The Ninth Prince looked at Lin Qianqian with disdain and looked away.

He behaves rudely and has no dining etiquette at all. Is he unsophisticated or has he never eaten good food?

She doesn't have the dignity and poise of a lady from a noble family at all.

But in the eyes of Gu Huai and others, he was somewhat frank and cute. He did not hide his love for food, which was much more interesting than eating in a formal and expressionless manner.

Lin Qianqian held the cantaloupe in her hands and ate three pieces in a row. She asked the maid for a small bowl and put the melon rind and the remaining bones from eating the meat in the bowl.

Seeing that Lin Qianqian liked Hami melon very much, King Beixuan smiled and said, "This is the Hami melon that King Hami paid tribute to our Xueli Kingdom. If Miss Lin likes it, I will reward you with two melons to take back."

Lin Qianqian quickly smiled and saluted, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

For the following time, Lin Qianqian just stared at the table of food.

I tried all of them, including stewed pork elbow with ham, crab with osmanthus flavored with ginger and vinegar, bamboo shoots with chicken marrow, quail with pickled mustard, roasted venison, goose feet and duck tongue with pickled mustard, and sour bamboo shoot and chicken skin soup, and ate until my belly was full.

……

Cheng Jiayao brought a girl to Yu and whispered, "Mother, Wanxia is so pitiful. She lost her father and mother, and her brother just died in battle."

"I saw the human traffickers beating her to death, so I felt pity and brought her back."

"Look at her. She's still pretty after cleaning. I think as a wife, I should take the initiative to take a concubine for my husband. The prince only has Aunt Lin by his side now. I'm afraid she may not be able to serve him sometimes. Wanxia is just the right time to share her worries and expand our mansion early."

Yu looked at the little girl in front of her. She had a pretty face and a pair of bright eyes under her willow-shaped eyebrows, like grapes.

Yu looked down at Wanxia's figure. She had a thin waist and plump hips, so she could indeed give birth to a son.

The breasts are big, so I'm sure you'll have plenty of milk in the future.

She said, "Go and teach her, and let her serve in the Prince's courtyard."

"Yes."

Cheng Jiayao suppressed the joy on her face and said to Eryue, "Eryue, take Wanxia with you."

February came forward and took Wanxia away.

"Where is Huai'er? Do you know where he went?" Yu asked Cheng Jiayao.

"Mother, I heard that the prince just took Aunt Lin out of the house for a trip."

Yu shook her head. "This concubine Lin takes my son out to eat, drink and have fun all day long. He has no manners. If this continues, his studies will be delayed. As his legal wife, you didn't report to me in time? You didn't discipline this concubine either."

ps: This article sets the Yu family as a defender of fu and belongs to lawful neutral.

Why he resolutely defended Gu Huai was, of course, because his son had the inheritance rights and needed to rely on him for support in his old age.

Yu Shi not only looked down on Lin Qianqian's background in a brothel, but also had obligations to Cheng Jiayao, which were the common requirements that ancient mothers-in-law had for their daughters-in-law, such as "three obediences and four virtues", "giving birth to children", "managing the household properly", etc.

In ancient times, the wife had a high status and high requirements, but that didn't mean the mother-in-law wouldn't urge or suppress her.
