The regent princess is strong and cool, and the beautiful prince loves her every day

"Su Yueqing? I seem to have heard this name somewhere." The Queen Mother whispered to the Emperor.

"Mother, Su Yueqing is the princess that the emperor's uncle wants to marry," Xiao Jingzhan pointed in the direction of Su Yueqing, "Yes, she is the veiled woman sitting next to the emperor's uncle's seat."

When the Queen Mother saw Su Yueqing, she noticed the obvious scar on her forehead and suddenly remembered.

Su Yueqing is the daughter of the prime minister who just came to Beijing from the countryside and was known as a fool in the capital.

Thinking of this, the empress dowager glanced at Zhao Yunyan with an unfriendly look. She had just thought that she was well-behaved, gentle and lovely, but now it seemed that she was just a person who flattered the powerful and looked down on the weak and liked to embarrass others. She was not a good person.

The Queen Mother looked at Su Yueqing for a while and said softly, "Miss Su, if you are not feeling well, you don't have to perform. You are the princess chosen by the Regent. According to etiquette, you don't need to perform."

After saying that, he glanced at Zhao Yunyan lightly.

Zhao Yunyan remained neither humble nor arrogant. After all, she was not interested in the palace. She was willing to perform on stage only for Prince An Xiao Moyao to see, hoping to win his favor.

As for Su Yueqing, firstly, he was angry that she humiliated Chu Yuheng, and he had to vent Chu Yuheng's anger so that he could continue to get Chu Yuheng's help in the future; secondly, she was the princess consort of the regent, and humiliating her might embarrass the regent, and Prince An might be happy.

Xiao Moyao, the current Prince An, is the second in line. Like Xiao Mochen, he is the younger brother of the late emperor.

However, Xiao Mochen and the late emperor were brothers from the same mother, both born to the empress, while Xiao Moyao was born to the imperial concubine.

He was very ambitious because he had always been dissatisfied with the idea of ​​Xiao Jingzhan, a young boy, becoming the emperor.

After the Queen Mother finished speaking, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment again. Su Yueqing was so proud that even the Queen Mother was trying to give her a way out and was very caring towards her.

Xiao Moyao also became interested. He had seen Su Yueqing before, and knew that she was a fool with an ugly appearance, so he never understood why Xiao Mochen wanted to marry her.

When I attended the banquet today, I first saw Xiao Mochen losing his temper for his beloved, and then I saw the Queen Mother openly defending her, which made me even more confused.

Su Yueqing waved her hands repeatedly. Although she didn't want to perform, she had no choice but to do it for the points and the prizes.

"Thank you for your kindness, Queen Mother. I am fine now," Su Yueqing continued, "Today is the Spring Festival Banquet. Since Miss Zhao wants to watch it, I can't spoil your interest. I am not talented enough, but I would like to compose a poem and a song to wish the Queen Mother good health."

Su Yueqing was neither humble nor arrogant, and spoke carefully, without any faults.

The Queen Mother looked at Su Yueqing with approval. She felt that this girl was not as useless as the rumors said.

Then, the Queen Mother gave Xiao Mochen a look and asked for his opinion.

Xiao Mochen nodded slightly. He was afraid that she would be embarrassed, and wanted to hint to the imperial sister-in-law not to make things difficult for her. However, after hearing her bold words and seeing her determined look, he didn't need to hint anymore.

"Empress Dowager, could you please prepare a pipa for me?" Su Yueqing raised her eyes and asked. When she came, she didn't expect to perform a show, so she didn't prepare anything.

"Of course." The Queen Mother nodded and smiled, and instructed the servants around her, "Get Miss Su a top-quality pipa."

"Yes."

After a while, the palace maid brought the pipa.

Su Yueqing took the pipa, looked at it, and plucked it with her hand. It was indeed a top-quality pipa, made of precious small-leaf red sandalwood and felt excellent.

"Hmph, no matter how good something is, it will become useless in your hands." Su Yueyao muttered softly.

Zhao Yunyan glanced at her indifferently, waiting to see her make a fool of herself, then looked around, and finally her eyes fell on Xiao Moyao.

Su Yueqing sat on a stone block in the center of the stage, holding the pipa vertically, pressing the strings with her left hand and placing the five fingers of her right hand on the strings, ready to play.

In fact, Su Yueqing is good at all kinds of musical instruments, including guzheng, konghou, flute, etc., but these have already been performed by others before. If she wants to impress people, she has to find another way and innovate.

After closing her eyes and thinking for a while, Su Yueqing decided to play a piece of "Pipa Xing". While playing, she sang Bai Juyi's "Pipa Xing".

In modern times, she liked this ancient poem the most. Later, when it was adapted into a song, she also liked it very much.

Su Yueqing lightly plucked the pipa with her right hand, and the sound of the pipa passed through the hall, clear and melodious, as if telling a story.

The sound of the pipa floated down from the high platform, clear and melodious, and Su Yueqing's singing was beautiful, fresh and smooth. The two sounds intertwined together, as if bringing everyone back to that night at the head of the Xunyang River...

When Su Yueqing sang "Lightly pluck, slowly twist, wipe and pick, first playing Nichang and then Liuyao, the big strings are as loud as heavy rain, the small strings are as soft as whispers, the loud and soft strings are played in a mixed manner, big and small pearls fall on a jade plate...", the movements of her slender fingers plucking the pipa were sometimes fast, sometimes slow, like flowing clouds and water, and she could control her movements freely.

"Who cried the most among the people present? Sima of Jiangzhou had his shirt wet."

After Su Yueqing sang the last sentence, she stopped moving her hands, and the sound of the pipa came leisurely, making people linger and immerse themselves in it.

"I am honored to present my humble service." Su Yueqing bowed slightly. "This is a poem and a piece of music that I came across by accident. I really like it, so I practiced it day and night. I am sorry to bother you."

After listening to the music, everyone was already convinced. It was their honor to be able to hear such music and singing in their lifetime.

"Miss Su is too modest," said Master Lu, who admired Su Yueqing with all his heart and eyes, and said respectfully, "I wonder if I could dare to ask Miss Su to show me the verses of the Pipa Song."

Su Yueqing looked at the kind-looking old man, nodded slightly, and said softly: "You are too polite, Grand Tutor. If you don't mind, I will copy a copy and send it to the Grand Tutor's Mansion after I return home."

"Thank you." Master Lu said gratefully.

Zhao Yunyan frowned slightly as she was waiting to see Su Yueqing embarrassed. Why is Su Yueqing now so different from the one rumored?

As for Su Yueyao, who was also waiting to see Su Yueqing make a fool of herself, she was furious.

Originally, he planned to surprise everyone after Su Yueqing made a fool of herself, but now Su Yueqing's performance, both playing and singing, has brought the banquet to a climax, and he is afraid that no one can surpass her.

If you go up again, you will only bring humiliation upon yourself.

Su Yueyao glared at Zhao Yunyan who had a sullen face, and snorted silently. It was because of her talkativeness that she missed the best opportunity.

"After listening to Miss Su's song, I felt refreshed. Even my usual headaches are gone." The Queen Mother praised generously.

Then he took out a gold hairpin with gold threads and beads from his head and said, "Miss Su, this is my favorite hairpin. I am happy today, so I give it to you."

The palace maid beside the empress dowager hurried forward to take the gold hairpin, walked down the steps, and inserted the gold hairpin on Su Yueqing's head.

Su Yueqing touched the golden hairpin on her head and bowed, "Thank you, Queen Mother."

"No need to be so polite." The Queen Mother raised her hand slightly, motioning her to stand up.

Everyone was shocked. The Queen Mother gave her favorite hairpin to Su Yueqing, telling everyone clearly that she liked Su Yueqing very much and warning everyone not to make things difficult for her.

Zhao Yunyan's eyes turned and glanced at Su Yueqing's veiled face. She picked up a stone, placed it in her palm, then pinched the stone between her middle finger and thumb and threw it at Su Yueqing.

Su Yueqing was distracted for a moment, and by the time she noticed the stone flying from the side, the stone had already flown right next to her ear, knocking off the veil ribbon tied at her ear.

As the ribbon was opened, the veil on Su Yueqing's face fell off, and her entire face appeared naked in front of everyone.

"It's over, it's over. I'm going to be laughed at for being ugly again."

Su Yueqing was too lazy to hide her feelings and simply stood there, waiting for everyone to comment on her.

However, after waiting for a while, instead of receiving ridicule from the crowd, he heard praises.
