Rebirth and Revenge: The Imperial Master’s Pampering of Me is Addicting Me

Qiu Jin had good hearing and vaguely caught some movement in the corner. She glanced over there unnoticeably, but unfortunately it was too dark in the corner and she couldn't see anything.

She lowered her eyes slightly, took a step forward unnoticed, bent down slightly and whispered a reminder.

"Miss, there seems to be someone hiding in the corner over there, but I don't know who it is. Do you need me to go check it out?"

Mu Qingli glanced at the empty seat opposite, narrowed his eyes, shook his head slightly, and lowered his voice calmly.

"No need, I know who it is. Just stay and watch over my mother."

After hearing her say this, Qiu Jin stopped asking questions and stood up and returned to her original position.

Every time they entered the palace, she and Qilan's focus was to take care of the lady. Although the lady was accompanied by several maids who knew martial arts, it was always a good thing to have more people looking after her.

Cheng Qin didn't understand what was going on. She glanced at her daughter and saw that there was no change on her face, so she didn't pay any attention to it.

"That's quite a hearing skill! I never thought that the girl from the Mu family had such an expert by her side."

Lu Jinnian shrank his head and hid himself better in the shadows. He caught a glimpse of the movement over there and couldn't help but mutter something in a low voice.

Even the palace guards who were looking after the safety of the nobles did not notice these little eunuchs in the corner, but there was someone beside her who could sense the movement and accurately lock his position.

The men beside him were already used to him being like this. They rolled their eyes helplessly but said nothing more and just stayed by his side quietly.

Princess Liyin had also sat down firmly. Her face was still pale, but her delicate and slender fingers had already been placed directly on the guqin, and she began to play it skillfully.

In just a moment, the melodious sound of the piano suddenly rang out.

Mu Qingli has mastered the art of playing the zither since his previous life. At this moment, he frowned slightly when he heard the sound of the zither, and there was a hint of surprise in his eyes.

With such skills, it is no wonder that Shentu Chi is so confident. It is no exaggeration to say that the lingering sound is undeniable. This skill alone requires at least more than ten years of experience.

She raised her eyes and glanced at Princess Liyin, whose face was pale in the hall. Her eyes flashed and she sighed slightly in her heart.

In fact, if we really talk about it, in the previous life, this person died with the same ending as her, without dignity and in a miserable way. This time, just think of it as her being kind.

Wen Ya was a foodie, but she also knew a little about playing the piano. As she listened, her face turned bitter and she came over to talk to her sister in private.

"Sister, this Princess Liyin from the Dongyi Kingdom sounds so powerful. Can you defeat her?"

Haha, I really overestimate her piano skills... She herself doesn't have that confidence, and piano skills are not what she is best at.

Wen Xiu wanted to roll his eyes again, but considering the situation, he finally held back. Then he calmly held his sister's arm and quietly watched the scene in the hall while enjoying the melodious piano music.

Gu Chengjin glanced at the crowd around him, his expression relatively calm.

As expected, the Dongyi Kingdom came well prepared this time. Even though they in Dayan were prepared, it would be even more difficult for them to rig this talent competition that was open to the public.

Shen Yuqing frowned slightly as she watched Princess Liyin plucking the strings of the zither in the palace, and her expression became more cautious.

Sure enough, Princess Liyin, who has been boasting about for a long time but has never shown up in public, is also the hidden backup of Dongyi Kingdom. I am afraid that she is also excellent in other aspects.

It seems that she has really met a strong opponent this time.

After the song ended, Li Yin covered her lips and coughed weakly twice. Her beautiful watery eyes with red corners of her eyes made people unable to take their eyes away.

Even the emperor stared at her for a long time before asking someone to help her sit down. Then he turned his head and stared at the people below with a low voice.

"Today is just a banquet for the Dongyi Kingdom. If you want to learn from each other, don't be shy. Is there any talented woman willing to recommend herself?"

Since the emperor had spoken personally, the people below naturally didn't dare to hide anymore. Soon, several noble ladies plucked up the courage to go up and took turns playing a song.

Mu Qingli just listened quietly, with a faint smile on the corner of his lips and rubbing his fingertips slightly without saying a word, but his eyes were always fixed on the movement above.

The guqin in the palace never rested. It was a pity that even though those players were good at playing the guqin, those who were good at music could tell the difference between them and Princess Liyin at a glance. She did have a unique talent in playing the guqin.

Seeing one noble lady after another defeated, Shen Yuqing hesitated for a long time and finally stood up and tried it with the help of Mrs. Shen beside her.

She wanted to compete with Li Yin in other things, but if she couldn't even beat her in piano skills, how could she continue to compete with others in other talents?

However, compared with the lyrical tunes sung by the other noble ladies, she chose a somewhat passionate marching song, which was quite original.

Shen Yuqing was talking very seriously. Even if her piano skills couldn't compare to hers, she could still compare to her state of mind. How could a lyrical tune compare to a war song?

Soon the song ended, and she bowed gracefully to the nobles above before retreating with a smile.

Shentu Chi had been staring at her for a while, and couldn't help but glance at the several princes who had grown up and were crowned kings, shaking the wine glass in his hand and teasing her.

"The people of your country are really smart. I heard that Prince Ting and Prince An are planning to appoint wives. I wonder which girls they have their eyes on?"

This means that she was trying to take advantage of the situation and had some ulterior motives.

Shen Yuqing's expression remained normal, but she couldn't help but curl her fingers slightly under the table and gritted her teeth in hatred, lowering her eyes to hide the resentment in them.

The queen kept a faint smile on her face, glanced at the imperial concubine calmly, and then spoke in a gentle voice.

"The prince looks quite old, I wonder if he's married yet? Since it's an arranged marriage, it doesn't necessarily mean just one. If the prince falls in love with someone from Dayan, wouldn't that be a good thing?"

Lu Junli felt overwhelmed watching the verbal confrontation. He simply avoided the gaze of his own mother, feeling as if he wanted to run away but couldn't.

He said that his father should grant him a title of king and fiefdom as soon as possible so that he could escape from the power struggle in Beijing and not be constrained by his mother and forced to participate in these messes.

Unexpectedly, the fire would burn himself. However, Shentu Chi was not panicked and did not care about the pale girl beside him. He smiled and waved the fan.

"Thank you very much for your concern, Queen. However, the princes of your country don't have wives yet, so I don't have one either. However, I will be staying in Dayan for a while, so there is no need to rush."

Lu Shaocong also smiled and shook the wine glass in his hand, with the corners of his lips slightly raised and he spoke nonchalantly.

"In that case, Prince Chi should stay for a few more days. We have many beautiful sights in Dayan."

In the end, Lu Tingqi smiled and changed the subject.

"I didn't expect Princess Liyin to have such great zither skills. Does anyone else want to participate in today's competition? If not, let the Grand Master of Music begin judging."
