So what if I traveled through time? I'll continue to roll in another place

"This piece of music is really good." Lady Xin Guogong praised casually.

"Madam, you may not know that there is a restaurant in the East Market that plays some really good music recently. No other restaurant has played anything like it." Lady Dingguo took over the conversation.

Xiao Yueshan immediately felt uneasy. Oh no, this was directed at Lu Jiayan.

"Oh?" Lady Xin Guogong seemed to be interested. "Is there such a new thing? Summon the musician to the mansion some other day, and we can listen to it together."

Lady Dingguo replied with a smile: "Why bother to invite him? The real master is sitting in the hall!"

Hearing this, the ladies in the audience began to whisper to each other, wondering who Lady Dingguo was referring to.

Xiao Yueshan's heart sank. As expected, the wife of Duke Dingguo pointed in the direction of Lu Jiayan and said with a smile, "It's this young lady."

For a moment, everyone's eyes were focused on Lu Jiayan.

Lu Jiayan was indeed beautiful. Lady Xin looked at her with a look of amazement that was hard to conceal. She smiled and said, "She is really beautiful. I wonder whose daughter she is?"

"I was not born into an official family." Lu Jiayan stood up and walked into the hall to reply.

No official position? Why would Duke Shun invite a commoner to his banquet? The ladies and girls watching were all confused.

Xiao Yueshan had already fully realized that this was a trap set by the wife of Duke Dingguo. She wanted to embarrass Lu Jiayan in front of everyone and destroy her hope of marrying into the Shou family.

Before Lady Dingguo could say anything insulting, she walked over to Lu Jiayan and said, "Madam, this is Zhou's cousin. She just came to the capital to stay for a while."

Meng Yufu, who had become the Princess of Rui, also became interested when she saw the two. "Is she your cousin? Didn't the Duke's wife say that she was singing in the restaurant? So she is a singer? I didn't expect her to be so lowly." Meng Yufu attacked directly.

The ladies in the palace were whispering to each other, and they were even more dissatisfied with Lu Jiayan's beauty.

"Princess Rui, you are too kind. My little sister is just quite talented. The songs she composed were sung by the troupe we hired. I think the lady of the Meng family should be able to understand this little thing, right?"

Xiao Yueshan refused to give in and directly pointed out that Meng Yufu had framed Meng Yulan, which frightened Mrs. Meng so much that she glared at her daughter.

It's just that some of the Lu family's songs were sung in the restaurant, which is better than the Meng family family's daughter's poems and paintings being spread to the brothel. This matter has only been suppressed for two days, so don't mention it again.

After Xiao Yueshan finished speaking, the public opinion in the palace changed a little. Yes, how could the Meng family have the nerve to say that about others. And Meng Yufu's words just now were too vulgar, which was also inappropriate.

"Princess, Princess, and all the ladies, I am honored to have the Lady of Shunguo host a banquet. If Lady of Guogong is interested, Yueshan is willing to sing a song and ask my little sister to accompany you to entertain you ladies." She turned the tables. Wasn't she just going to use them as singing girls? What's the big deal? Let them sing!

"There are many talented sisters here, and Yue Shan's song is monotonous, so I hope you won't despise me." Rather than asking you to make things difficult for me, I might as well make the request directly.

"I came here in a hurry, so I asked the wife of the Duke to borrow a zither." Encouraged by Xiao Yueshan, Lu Jiayan regained his composure and bowed politely to the wife of the Duke Dingguo.

Xiao Yueshan walked towards Lu Jiayan, patted her shoulder and whispered, "Jiayan, how about playing "When Will the Bright Moon Rise?"

This piece of music is quite popular in modern times and can be sung without rehearsal. It also has a good meaning and should be suitable for emergency use.

Lu Jiayan nodded. Since the wife of Duke Dingguo had planned this, the zither would naturally be brought up soon.

I have to say, any piano in a wealthy family is very good, the sound of the piano is melodious and plaintive.

Lu Jiayan adjusted the instrument a little and began to play. The sound of the piano was as gentle and melodious as the gurgling of water, and the beautiful notes jumped like elves, dancing lightly in the air, weaving a romantic dream of the full moon.

The melody was gentle and graceful, the singing was gentle and affectionate, and the lyrics were touching. For a moment, even Duke Dingguo himself forgot that this was meant to embarrass Lu Jiayan, and he was just immersed in the beauty of the song.

After the song, there was silence in the hall at first, and then applause broke out.

"This song should only exist in heaven, how many times can it be heard in the world? Madam Xiao and your sister are indeed talented." The Princess of Jin was the first to applaud.

With her leading the way, the other ladies also echoed and praised.

"Sisters gather together to sing and dance, how elegant! I wonder if there are other young ladies who have such talents and can show them off together." Princess Jin said.

After these words were spoken, the young ladies who hoped to come out and meet their husband's family became interested. With the encouragement of the Princess of Jin, many young ladies really signed up to perform.

The wife of Duke Dingguo's face turned very ugly. She had wanted to make Lu Jiayan look bad in public, but unexpectedly, she ended up stealing the spotlight instead.

Meng Yufu was so angry that she gritted her teeth. She glared at Lu Jiayan fiercely and secretly vowed to find an opportunity to take revenge.

Xiao Yueshan looked at the scene in front of her and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She turned to look at Lu Jiayan, and they smiled at each other.

Xiao Yueshan and Lu Jiayan have returned to their seats, and the singing and dancing performances in the hall have begun.

Xiao Yueshan looked up at the Princess of Jin who was sitting in the upper seat. It was the Princess of Jin who came to her rescue at both gatherings. She wondered what this noble lady's intention was.

Many young ladies performed their talents. In addition to Xiao Yueshan and Lu Jiayan's songs, Miss Liu's sword dance and Miss Sun's calligraphy were also outstanding.

The Princess of Jin praised the performances highly and gave some exquisite small gifts to the performers on the spot.

The atmosphere at the banquet was lively, with everyone laughing and chatting, as if the tension that had just been directed at Lu Jiayan did not exist.

After performing all night, the party finally ended. Before the two of them had taken a step or two away from Duke Shun's Mansion, they saw the carriage of the wife of Duke Ding waiting for them not far away.

Lady Dingguo sent a maid to invite Lu Jiayan to get in the car for a chat. Lu Jiayan had had enough of this lady's repeated trouble-making.

Not only did they want to humiliate her, but they also wanted to humiliate her friends. This behavior made Lu Jiayan very dissatisfied. She waved at the maid who invited her to get in the car, and spoke directly to the wife of Duke Dingguo outside the window under the car.

"Madam, I understand everything you have to say. I am of humble origin and do not dare to curry favor with your family. I also do not have any romantic feelings for you, Master. I will make it clear to you as soon as possible.

You and I have no hatred or grudges. We are only in contact because you misunderstand me. From now on, I will no longer contact you, and please don't embarrass my friends anymore." She said in a cold voice, neither humble nor arrogant.

The people in the carriage were silent for a long time, "Wu'er, did you understand what Miss Lu meant?"

The curtains on the car window were opened, and Shou Junwu was also in the car. His face was filled with shock and grievance, and tears filled his dog-like eyes. He looked at Lady Dingguo in disbelief: "Mother, how could you embarrass Miss Lu?"

When these words came out, even Lu Jiayan felt like he was struck by lightning.

Xiao Yueshan held his forehead with his hand and said: Wow, this kid is born with a love brain.
