The stand-in didn't take it seriously for three years, and the minister was furious when they b

Hearing this, everyone in the audience stopped what they were doing and stood up one after another:

"I pay my respects to His Majesty, may our Emperor live long and long; I pay my respects to the Empress Dowager, may she live a thousand years and a thousand years; I pay my respects to the Empress, may she live a thousand years and a thousand years..."

"No need to bow, everyone. Please stand."

After a long list of etiquette and rules, the head of the Ministry of Rites read them out again. The representatives of Silla took their seats one after another and exchanged greetings before the welcoming banquet officially began.

With the sound of drums and music and the enchanting singing and dancing, the banquet gradually reached its climax after three rounds of drinks.

Soon, the envoys of Silla sent people to carry up the Mid-Autumn Festival tribute, which was a huge red coral potted plant with a rosewood base and a double-layer peach-shaped pot. The huge red coral had an elegant shape, and the two thick branches had the momentum of two galloping dragons, which was very dazzling.

The moment the wooden box fell apart, there was a burst of exclamations in the audience.

After another round of greetings, the Silla prince Zhan Jingsheng stood up:

"Your Majesty, it is an honor for our country of Silla to visit Chiyan on this festive occasion and witness the prosperity of the prosperous times. My sister loves the hustle and bustle and is proficient in music. I also want to join in the fun and play a song for Your Majesty. I hope Your Majesty will grant me permission."

While the man was speaking, a beautiful woman beside him in an elegant red dress stood up and bowed towards the people in the field, very gracefully.

"Oh? I didn't expect that Princess Xinyue is not only more beautiful than flowers, but also so talented. Accurate."

The emperor raised his hand and the place instantly became quiet again. Then two palace maids came in carrying a guzheng.

Princess Crescent Moon crossed her hands in front of her, performed the Silla salute, then walked to the center of the field and played a soul-stirring song, "A Full Moon and a Beautiful Flower."

When the last note fell, there was applause again.

Mu Lianzhi also clapped her hands out of habit, but she couldn't help but sigh in her heart that it seemed that the Silla Kingdom was really martial. During a major festival, she played a bright, beautiful and perfect tune as if it was going to start a war.

The song isn't bad, and has a special flavor, but it's so loud that it hurts my ears.

The applause stopped, and Mu Lianzhi was about to clean her ears when she suddenly heard the Silla prince say:

"It is said that courtesy should be reciprocated. I heard that the Crown Princess is also good at music, especially the guzheng, which she plays to perfection. She is known as the 'Heavenly Music of Yanjing'. Could you teach me something?"

As soon as these words were spoken, there was a moment of silence in the room, and almost all eyes turned to the side where the emperor made his move.

The crown prince is the future heir to the throne, so Zhan Jingsheng's invitation is actually quite rude and a bit difficult.

They took the initiative to perform, and the one performing was a princess, but they asked the future queen to perform in the same way. This was too much of an overestimation of their own status, and there was also suspicion of putting down Chi Yan.

But at this time, the man had a smile on his face, and it was unclear whether he really didn't understand or did it on purpose.

If I don't agree, it will ruin the atmosphere and seem petty, but if I agree, it will be a blatant humiliation.

Everyone present understood.

The offer has been made, should we accept it or not?

Mu Lianzhi raised his eyebrows, and his gaze unconsciously fell on Beitang Yi, whom he had been deliberately ignoring on the opposite side. As expected, his gaze also fell on the upper head and tail.

Bai Yueguang's lethality is indeed unstoppable.

He really cares about her.

Feeling a little sad, Mu Lianzhi unconsciously lowered her eyes again. She didn't notice that almost at the same time, the gaze from the opposite side turned back. If Beitang Yi knew that he had missed the gaze that he had been waiting for for so long just by moving away for a moment, he would have vomited to death.

Actually, what's so difficult about this?

It's just a matter of finding someone of equal status to take the blame.

The difficulty lies in the fact that, based on the Crown Princess's reputation as "the heavenly voice of Yanjing", the Silla prince is cunning enough to deliberately point out that he must have checked it out, fearing that she would not be so easily fooled.

This unlucky guy is hard to find.

Mu Lianzhi's fingertips twirled around the rim of the cup, and her mind did not stop thinking. Just as she was trying to relieve her bitterness and find something interesting to watch, an official in the audience stood up:

"Your Majesty, our Chiyan Dynasty is full of talented people. Do you really need to trouble the Crown Princess with such a small matter?"

As soon as the man spoke, the Silla prince turned around and interrupted him:

"My country of Silla is not short of musicians who are proficient in music, but how many of them are worthy of the name 'Yanjing Tianlai'? My sister is also the bright moon and pearl of my country of Silla. My lord, please don't just find a musician to perfunctory this prince."

"This prince is not interested in those full-time personnel."

As expected, the prince came prepared.

When Mu Lianzhi was wondering whether this solution would fail, she heard the adult say:

"Since Prince Zhan has heard of the name 'Yanjing Tianlai', he must have also heard of 'Yanjing Shuangshu'. Our Yanjing is not the only one with stunning talent and beauty, the Crown Princess, who is the most glorious in the capital."

"It just so happens that this lady is here today too. She is also well versed in music. The zither and the harp are inseparable, and she plays the harp extremely well."

Who is it?

Which unlucky guy is going to be pushed out to take the blame.

Mu Lianzhi had just muttered something in his mind, and before his eyes could catch the target, he felt someone poking him from behind.

"what happened?"

Looking back at Chunmiao, Mu Lianzhi even mouthed something to her.

At this moment, the official's voice came from the front again:

"Your Majesty, the two beauties of Yanjing are both extremely beautiful. I heard that the Imperial Concubine specially invited them today because of their reputation. The Crown Princess is wearing luxurious clothes and it would be inconvenient. It would be better to ask the Second Madam of the Pingyong Marquis's Mansion to do this for you."

Who?

There was a loud bang in the head, and Mu Lianzhi was struck by lightning:

what what?

The two beauties of Yanjing?

When did she have such a good reputation? Could it be that she was just given this title?

Oh my god, who is this adult from?

Did she dig up his ancestral grave in her previous life?

The unlucky Mu Lianzhi was so angry that she completely forgot that Chunmiao had just stabbed her secretly.

In fact, the original owner did have this reputation, but the capital was full of dignitaries and beauties, and she had never even been able to get involved in the upper-class circles before, so this so-called reputation was only spread among people who loved music.

The reputation of a small circle.

Therefore, the original owner didn’t care about it, and Mu Lianzhi, who traveled through time, didn’t know about it at all.

After she traveled through time, in order to adapt to this identity and era and become the real original owner, she tried her best to learn everything she could, including music, chess, calligraphy, painting, needlework and embroidery, and to get closer to the original owner. She even tried not only to adapt to the font of this era and the handwriting of the original owner, but also to copy them.

It is always good to have many skills. She may not be able to use them, but she cannot be really bad.

But the zither was not on the list. She really couldn't learn it. What's more, her hands would break when she played them. She was afraid of being exposed, so after trying several times and failing, she put this item at the end.

Asking her to play the piano is either to embarrass her or to kill her!

At this time, all the eyes that were originally aimed at the Crown Princess had turned to her. After Chun Miao pulled and reminded her several times, Mu Lianzhi could only stand up without thinking too much.
