The eldest princess, Jun Moyuan and Lu Tingyan walked into the banquet together.

When everyone saw the Princess and the Crown Prince coming, they all stood up and saluted, shouting in unison: "Greetings to the Crown Prince, Princess."

The eldest princess raised her hand to signal everyone to sit down, and said with a smile: "Today's banquet, everyone doesn't have to be restrained, just enjoy it."

"Your Highness the Crown Prince and Miss Lu are such a perfect match."

"Miss Lu is so lucky to be favored by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Princess."

"Look at them walking together, they look like a perfect couple."

These exclamations continued, and Lu Tingyan's face flushed. Jun Moyuan raised his head slightly, his expression showing confidence and composure.

Su Yao sat not far away, her eyes drifting towards Lu Tingyan from time to time, full of jealousy and disdain.

She clenched the handkerchief tightly in her hand, and her teeth were chattering.

"Hmph, she's just a vixen, how could she get such an honor?" Su Yao cursed in a low voice.

The maid beside her said cautiously, "Miss, please don't get angry and get yourself sick."

Su Yao glared at the maid: "Shut up."

The maid was so scared that she quickly lowered her head: "Miss, calm down."

Miss Li, her best friend next to her, gently pulled her sleeve and whispered, "Su Yao, don't be impulsive at this time, the princess is still here."

Su Yao gritted her teeth and suppressed the anger in her heart, but her eyes were still fixed on Lu Tingyan.

The banquet officially began, delicious dishes were served and there were wonderful singing and dancing performances.

At this time, a young lady from an official family walked lightly onto the stage and began to dance gracefully. Her posture was graceful, as light and agile as a butterfly, which made people intoxicated.

"This lady's skills are really superb. I wonder where she comes from." A lady exclaimed.

Everyone was immersed in the graceful dance of the official lady, and exclaimed in admiration. When she finished dancing, there was thunderous applause.

At this time, Su Yao walked onto the stage, sat down gracefully, and began to play the piano.

Her fingers danced lightly on the strings, and the melodious sound of the piano poured out like flowing water, making people feel as if they were surrounded by tranquil mountains and rivers.

When the song was over, everyone was mesmerized by it, and after a moment they burst into warm applause.

Su Yao stood up, bowed slightly, and then said with a smile: "I heard that Miss Lu is both talented and beautiful. I wonder what the program is today?"

Everyone's attention instantly focused on Lu Tingyan again.

Lu Tingyan's heart tightened. She didn't expect that she would be named. Su Yao did it on purpose.

The eldest princess frowned slightly, feeling somewhat dissatisfied with Su Yao's behavior.

Lu Tingyan took a deep breath, slowly stood up, and said with a smile: "Miss Su, you are too kind. I am just a little bit proficient in piano playing. How dare I show off my skills in front of you all?"

Su Yao was not willing to give in, and continued: "Miss Lu, why should you be so modest? Everyone has heard of your reputation. Today is a rare opportunity, so let us enjoy your feast for the ears."

Lu Tingyan was a little angry. She felt that Su Yao was deliberately making things difficult for her. But in this situation, she couldn't get angry easily.

Just when she was wondering how to respond, the eldest princess spoke up: "Miss Su, Miss Lu has already said that she doesn't want to perform, why do you have to force her? Today is a banquet, everyone should focus on having fun, and don't ruin the atmosphere because of these little things."

Su Yao's face changed, and she saluted quickly and said, "The princess is teaching me that I was abrupt."

However, the story does not end there.

Su Yao's best friend Miss Li smiled and said, "Princess, if you can win the favor of His Royal Highness, your talent will naturally not be bad. Miss Lu, am I right?"

Lu Tingyan bowed slightly and said, "Since everyone is looking forward to it, I will show you my ugliness."

After saying that, Lu Tingyan walked to the center of the stage and asked someone to bring a guqin.

Lu Tingyan calmed down and put her hands on the strings again. She closed her eyes slightly, and the images of towering mountains and gurgling water emerged in her mind.

As the fingers gently plucked the piano, the clear sound was like crystal water drops, dripping slowly. The melody was sometimes passionate, like a towering mountain rising from the ground and reaching the sky; sometimes it was soothing, like a gurgling stream winding and flowing, clear to the bottom.

Everyone was immersed in the wonderful piano music, as if they were brought into a peaceful and beautiful world.

Jun Moyuan looked at Lu Tingyan with admiration and love in his eyes. The eldest princess also nodded slightly with a satisfied smile on her face.

"This piano music is really wonderful!" said Miss Xiao from the Grand Tutor's Mansion.

"Yes, sister Yan'er's skills are indeed superb." Lin Yue agreed
