The book has no strength, the female supporting role just wants to survive

When Leng Qingyan said this, everyone around her was amazed.

"It looks like Miss Leng is going to be in the spotlight today."

"This "Riding the Wind Art" is notoriously difficult. I wonder if Miss Leng is confident in it."

"I heard that Princess Guangping once followed Prince Guangping to the battlefield when she was young, and this "Riding the Wind" is about the young female general Cheng Feng of the previous dynasty. It is said that General Cheng Feng fought against a hundred people alone and was extremely brave. Leng Qingyan is praising the princess with General Cheng Feng."

"It seems that the prize today belongs to Miss Leng."

Leng Qingyan felt a little proud in her heart, but she still pretended to be unaware of it. Ji Lingyue sat in her seat, looking at Leng Qingyan pretending to be modest, and couldn't help curling her lips.

What a show!

Leng Qingyan has been competing with her in everything, both openly and secretly since she was a child. I really don't understand why she is so persistent.

Leng Qingyan signaled the palace servants to bring up the zither she bought yesterday. Emperor Baili Quan spoke first.

“This piano is quite good.”

Leng Qingyan immediately started to play "Riding the Wind".

The sound of the piano flowed, sometimes real and sometimes virtual, sometimes gentle and sometimes rapid. Although Jiang Tunan did not understand the piano, he could also hear the superb playing skills.

Although Jiang Tunan doesn't like Leng Qingyan, he has nothing to say about her skills.

With a "Zheng" sound, the song ended, but the lingering sound continued, lingering in the ears.

The guests at the banquet applauded loudly. Leng Qingyan stood up, knelt down and bowed, with a confident look in her eyes that showed she was determined to win.

"As expected of Leng Qing's granddaughter, she's a great pianist!"

Baili Quan has always been interested in studying music, especially the zither. Leng Qingyan's performance today naturally made him very satisfied.

Seeing this, Xiao Mingrui just cursed inwardly, "What a fool!" Leng Qingyan thought she was smart, but in fact, she had caused a big disaster. Xiao Mingli looked at the scene in front of him and just smiled without saying anything.

Princess Guangping's eyes were filled with deepness. Seeing Leng Qingyan standing in the palace, she asked,

"I wonder what Miss Leng's intention is in playing the "Riding the Wind Art"?"

Leng Qingyan smiled slightly and recited the prepared speech.

"I heard that when the princess was young, she fought side by side with Prince Guangping on the battlefield. This reminded me of the former female general Cheng Feng, who was also as brave as a man. So I present this song to express my admiration for her."

Princess Guangping sneered, a cold light flashed in her eyes.

"What a great admiration, but I feel like you are mocking me!"

After hearing this, Leng Qingyan knelt down immediately in fear.

"I dare not!"

"You know that General Cheng Feng was a young talent, but he died of illness before he was twenty. You also know that my princess's Shuang'er was also a young talent, but she died at the age of sixteen. You presented me with the "Riding the Wind Art" to remind me that my princess's Shuang'er was a short-lived ghost!"

Princess Guangping slammed the chair loudly, and Leng Qingyan had already fallen to her knees, trembling with fear.

Jiang Tunan: You are really flattering the horse and hitting its hoof.

Baili Quan was very troubled when he saw this. He was just enjoying the music and forgot about this. The same thing happened to Leng Qingyan, who happened to touch the sore spot of Princess Guangping.

"Princess, Leng Qingyan didn't mean it. Don't bother with a junior."

Seeing this, the Queen Mother also advised that it would be bad to make a scene in front of so many people.

"Ying'er, let's forget about this matter. Let Miss Leng leave."

Although Princess Guangping was emotional at the moment, Qi Tushuang was her bottom line. However, she had other things to do at the moment, so she would not pursue the matter for the time being.

"This princess will forgive you this time because you didn't mean it. However, I heard that the eldest young master's wife of the Xiao family is an excellent zither player. Why didn't she come out to perform today? Could it be that she doesn't like the chance?"

Leng Qingyan breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the princess' attention diverted, but at this moment everyone in the Xiao family became nervous.

Luo Yunqing hurriedly stood up and walked to the hall, kneeling down to apologize.

"Princess, I dare not. It's just that I haven't practiced for a long time. I'm afraid my piano skills will decline and make you unhappy."

Princess Guangping looked at Luo Yunqing who was kneeling on the ground, wondering what she was thinking.

The Queen Mother did not say much when she saw this, but she just spun the Buddhist beads in her hand faster.

Everyone at the banquet could see that Princess Guangping was deliberately making things difficult for them. After all, many people knew about the affair between Princess Tu Shuang and Dalang of the Xiao family.

Leng Qingyan was thinking quickly at this moment. She had already angered Princess Guangping, so she might as well divert Princess Guangping's anger. So she said,

"Princess, Sister Luo is being modest. Actually, Sister Luo and I both liked this zither yesterday, and Sister Luo generously gave it to me. But since Sister Luo went to the zither store to buy a zither, she must have made some preparations today. After all, everyone here has heard of Sister Luo's reputation for being an excellent zither player. Sister Luo, why are you being modest?"

Leng Qingyan knelt beside Luo Yunqing, looking like she was thinking about Luo Yunqing. She knew that Princess Guangping had grievances against the Xiao family, and this time she handed over the knife appropriately, hoping that Princess Guangping would not hold it against her for the previous mistake.

Jiang Tunan's face turned a little colder. It was obvious that Leng Qingyan had bad intentions. With just a few words, she pushed Luo Yun to the center of public attention.

Luo Yunqing was about to say a few words when she was interrupted by Princess Guangping.

"In that case, this princess is all ears."

This clearly means that it cannot be rejected.

Xiao Mingyue was obviously very anxious. Xiao Mingli was trying to comfort him, and Xiao Huaimin also had a frown on his face.

"Sister, I am so sorry for taking this harp from you yesterday. Please play with this harp today."

Leng Qingyan looked at Luo Yunqing with an apologetic look, but Luo Yunqing did not think much about it. Seeing that the matter was settled, the Queen Mother asked Leng Qingyan to leave, and Baili Quan did not know what to say.

Leng Qingyan returned to her seat, tightly clenching a sharp hairpin in her hand.

She wanted to divert her anger, but also not let Luo Yun lose the limelight.

Jiang Tunan was vaguely worried, feeling that Leng Qingyan wouldn't be so kind.

On the other side, Ji Lingyue looked at Luo Yunqing on the field with some worry.

"Mom, I feel like Leng Qingyan is full of bad intentions. Is she going to do something bad to my cousin's wife?"

Madam Ji immediately signaled Ji Lingyue to keep quiet.

"Be careful what you say."

There are many people around. If other people hear this and spread it, it will affect Ji Lingyue's reputation.

Luo Yunqing chose a common song. The melody was not as complicated as Leng Qingyan's, but there was nothing wrong with it either.

Just when he was playing to his heart's content, the strings suddenly broke, making a loud noise. Baili Quan was originally immersed in the sound of the piano, but was suddenly startled.

Seeing that Baili Quan was somewhat displeased at being interrupted, Concubine Li angrily rebuked him.

"Be bold!"

Luo Yunqing quickly knelt aside.

"Your Majesty, forgive me."

The Xiao family was also confused by this sudden change. Jiang Tunan widened his eyes and thought to himself, as expected.

Leng Qingyan just lowered her head, making it impossible to see her expression.

"Luo Yunqing, what are you dissatisfied with this princess?"

Princess Guangping spoke slowly. Luo Yunqing knew that she had caused a big disaster, and her voice trembled slightly.

"I don't dare."

"You are disrespectful in front of the palace. You shall be dragged away and beaten with ten boards."

Princess Guangping adjusted the crown on her head, and the maid next to her was ready to move. Xiao Mingyue was about to stand up, but was held down by Xiao Mingli.

"If you go out now, your sister-in-law will only be punished more severely."

Xiao Mingyue certainly understood, but he couldn't just watch Luo Yunqing being punished. Besides, Luo Yunqing's health had not been very good since she gave birth to Xiaobao. How could she withstand these ten beatings?

Jiang Tunan looked towards the men's seats opposite and saw that the men of the Xiao family all had anxious expressions on their faces, but they did not dare to move.

"Madam, what should we do now?"

Madam Xiao sighed.

"What else can we do? If the people in the Xiao Mansion plead for mercy, Yun Qing will only be punished more severely. It seems that Yun Qing is destined to suffer this disaster."

Baili Quan was just a little annoyed at being interrupted, but he didn't think of punishing anyone, so he said,

"Princess, this punishment is a bit..."

"Is the Emperor going to stop me again? I've only been in Kyoto for one day and you're not allowed to do this or that. It seems that Kyoto doesn't welcome me. I'd better go back to Nanguang County."

Baili Quan was speechless. His cousin had always had a hot temper since she was a child, and sometimes he had no choice. He had just pleaded for Leng Qingyan, so it was not a good idea to speak again at this time.

"What are you all standing there for? Drag him away!"
