Let me be a concubine? I turned to someone else's arms

"My dear niece Lingzhi, if I remember correctly, you are already sixteen years old, right?" Li held the girl's hand and said warmly.

"Thank you, Madam. That's right." Huan Lingzhi lowered her head shyly.

"Good, good, good, niece Ling Zhixian has great painting skills, and she is very thoughtful."

If I didn't put my heart into it, how could I have painted Xie Qi so vividly?

This girl really likes Xie Sanlang.

Good, good, very good. Sanlang is an upright man. If he spends more time with this girl, it won’t take long for the two of them to become a perfect match.

Thinking that Xie Qi's marriage was about to be decided, Li was so beautiful that her teeth were exposed and she held Huan Lingzhi's hand and exchanged some pleasantries.

Compared to Li's joy, Wei's expression froze slightly.

The Huan family of Qiao State was also a prominent family. Huan Lingzhi was also the daughter of the Huan family. The Wei family also had a crush on her, but she directly expressed her feelings by painting in public...

Wei had no choice but to give up with regret. She looked elsewhere, circling around the girls present, and finally fell on Wang Aijing who was next to Wang.

Wang Jiuniang is also a girl from the Wang clan of Langya. If...

Wei was very tempted, but she knew clearly that Wang looked down on her, and even more so on her son Erlang, and would never allow her niece to marry Xie Erlang. No matter how tempted Wei was, she had to give up the idea.

Luo Qin sat next to Wang and looked at Huan Lingzhi who was talking and smiling with Li, with a little more admiration in her eyes.

He looked at Xie Qi again and saw that the young man was lowering his head, and the men around him were teasing him.

Luo Qin slightly curved her eyebrows and thought to herself that this shy and sincere boy was quite popular.

When the other ladies saw that Li and Huan Lingzhi were talking freely and getting along well with each other, they felt filled with remorse.

They came to this banquet just for Xie Qi, but they didn't expect that the girl from the Huan family got there first!

Oh, regret.

Before Xie Dalang got engaged, they wanted to send their daughter to Xie's house and marry him.

But Xie Yun himself fell in love with the girl from the Luo family, so they could only settle for the second best and turn their attention to Xie Sanlang, the legitimate son of the second branch of the Xie family.

Now someone has gotten there first, how can we accept this?

Then a girl stood up and walked up to Wang, Li and others and said, "My daughter Xiao Miaoyi from Lanling Xiao family greets all the ladies."

Xiao Miaoyi's words interrupted the communication between Li and Huan Lingzhi. Everyone turned their heads and looked at Xiao Miaoyi in the center of the banquet.

Li took a quick look and was surprised to see that she was another gentle and beautiful lady.

Xiao Miaoyi wore a lilac straight-sleeved skirt, her face was like a classical painting, her eyebrows were like distant black, her eyes were like stars, deep and bright. Her skin was as white as snow, delicate and smooth, like the finest jade, her lips were red and slightly raised with a faint smile, making people feel like they were bathed in spring breeze.

She walked as light as the wind with a graceful figure. When she saluted, she sat in a dignified and beautiful posture, with her hands gently placed on her waist and abdomen, her back straight, showing a noble and elegant temperament.

Wang smiled and said to Xiao Miaoyi: "It's Miaoyi. Long time no see. You look more beautiful now. Hurry up and get up."

"Thank you, Madam." Xiao Miaoyi stood up.

"What is Miaoyi going to show you today...?"

"Qin."

"good."

Wang nodded and asked someone to bring the zither.

Xiao Miaoyi sat down in front of the piano and said, "My little girl is so embarrassed."

Then she plucked the strings of the zither with her fingers, and after a few syllables, everyone realized that she was playing "The Phoenix Seeks the Phoenix".

"Phoenix Seeking the Phoenix"...

It is a piano piece about pursuing love.

Everyone was wondering who Xiao Miaoyi was playing the piano for.

Huan Lingzhi had returned to her seat. After hearing the music, she had some guesses in her mind. She was afraid that this might be a reflection of Xie Sanlang's intentions.

Xiao Miaoyi's fingers gently stroked the strings of the piano, and beautiful notes flowed out like a spring. The girl closed her eyes slightly, and played the piano in an infatuated manner, devoting herself to it wholeheartedly.

At this time, Xie Sanlang slowly raised his head and looked curiously at the woman playing the piano, wondering who she was playing for.

When Xiao Miaoyi finished playing the last note, she slowly raised her head and cast a loving look at Xie Sanlang in the crowd, her eyes filled with tenderness and affection.

Their eyes met, and for just a moment, they looked away in panic as if they were burned by fire.

A blush appeared on Xiao Miaoyi's face and she lowered her head gently. Xie Qi was completely disheveled.

It turns out that this song was played for him!

When Huan Lingzhi saw this scene, her heart sank. It turned out that Xiao Miaoyi also admired Xie Sanlang!

For a moment, worry surged between Huan Lingzhi's brows. She felt depressed and twisted her handkerchief anxiously.

After the song, Xiao Miaoyi blushed and stood up and said to everyone: "I am not very good at playing the piano, please forgive me."

Seeing that it was another girl who liked her son, Li's face was immediately filled with smiles. She called Xiao Miaoyi forward and said, "My dear girl from the Xiao family, your piano music is also very good. Have you practiced hard?"

Xiao Miaoyi said modestly: "I don't deserve it. Compared with Miss Luo, I am still far behind."

After hearing this, Luo Qin replied: "How could that be? I think Miss Xiao's music is sincere and rare, much better than my plain music without much emotion."

Xiao Miaoyi played the piano with deep affection. Even people who didn't understand the piano could feel the girl's deep love from the melody.

After hearing what Luo Qin said, Xiao Miaoyi's cheeks turned even redder.

Li was also very satisfied with Xiao Miaoyi. She secretly compared her with Huan Lingzhi, but could not tell who was better.

Forget it, let Sanlang make his own choice.

Li was happy, but Wei looked unhappy again.

Why do so many people like Xie Sanlang?

Her Erlang is not bad either!

Wei looked towards Xie Cheng at the men's table and saw him lowering his head and talking to the female musician beside him. She became even more angry.

There were so many young ladies from aristocratic families today, but he didn't pay any attention to them, but brought that prostitute from the brothel to be an eyesore!

Several girls came to perform their talents one after another. After they finished, Wang smiled and said, "All the girls performed well today. As for the first prize..."

All the girls looked at Wang, full of anticipation.

If the Luo girls were not lying, then rose water can really beautify the skin, and they want it too!

Wang smiled and turned to look at Li and Xi amid everyone's expectant gazes, and asked, "The second and third ladies will decide, please."

After all, they are the ones choosing wives for their sons, so let them decide for themselves.

Wang didn't take Wei seriously at all. Wei pursed her lips but didn't dare to confront the lady. She could only swallow the embarrassment silently.

Li looked at Wang Aijing beside Wang in surprise, "Madam Wang Jiu, why don't you show us your skills?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Aijing's pale face was filled with guilt, "I'm really sorry, Madam Xie, my daughter has been in poor health since she was young, and she doesn't have the energy to learn these talents. So far, I don't have any talent that I can show off."

Wang Aijing openly admitted her shortcomings. After hearing this, Li suddenly realized what was happening and quickly raised her hand to slap herself on the mouth, "Oh, look at my brain, how could I have forgotten it? Please forgive me, Madam Wang Jiu."

In fact, Li said this to test Wang Aijing. Obviously, Wang Aijing had no interest in other men such as Xie Erlang or Xie Sanlang, so she was unwilling to reveal herself.

Wang Aijing smiled and said, "It's okay, it's my daughter's own problem."

Wang Aijing is always calm and composed, and her manners are elegant. Compared with other girls, Wang Aijing has the best family background. Unfortunately, her health is not good, and it is hard to say whether she can give birth.
