Shen Qianyu said: "Is the princess in trouble because of her residence?"
"The princess was very beautiful when she was in Nanqing, and she should not be treated lightly when she comes to Dongning. Naturally, this inn is not suitable for people to live in, but the father has ordered the construction of a Nanqing villa for the princess outside the palace. The princess does not have to worry about this. Worry."
At this point, Shen Qianyu paused slightly: "As for the male favorites who follow the princess, they have also been settled. The princess is compassionate and I will make sure they are properly settled."
As soon as the words "Favorite Man" came out, the expressions of everyone in the palace became subtle.
Qin Rao couldn't hold back his anger and couldn't help but counterattack: "How did the prince know that my princess is so delicate that she still needs to waste money and people in Dongning to build a villa? If the prince really wants to entertain me, it will be okay for me to stay in the palace."
Emperor Wen Hui laughed when he heard this: "What's the difficulty in moving into the palace? Today I ordered people to clear out the Chaoxia Palace, so that the princess can move in immediately."
After speaking, Emperor Wen Hui waved his hand and asked the people of the Bell and Drum Department to continue playing music.
When the drums sounded, Qin Rao realized that he had fallen into the trap set by Shen Qianyu again.
He deliberately interrupted her in order to prevent himself from expressing his thoughts about joining the East Palace. He also deliberately disparaged her in front of Emperor Wen Hui for having so many male favorites, completely denying her the opportunity to speak out.
Qin Rao clutched the hem of her skirt on her knees, feeling angry.
She originally planned to become the Crown Princess of Dongning, tightly tying herself to Shen Qianyu, forcing him to take action to stabilize the power of his wife's clan.
But I didn't expect him to refuse again and again.
Qin Rao raised his head and looked at Shen Qianyu with vicious eyes.
Shen Qianyu smiled slightly, his eyes full of ridicule.
"Your Highness..."
Qi Qingling was a little nervous and uttered a low voice. Shen Qianyu lowered his head and looked at her.
Today's dust-washing banquet, it was really inappropriate that none of the many concubines in the East Palace attended. Shen Qianyu never brought Song Wan to people easily, so he could only ask Qi Qingling.
Although Qi Qingling is just a good lady, neither Shang Rong nor Wu Xixiang or anyone else is suitable.
Carefully putting her six fingers into her sleeves, Qi Qingling raised her head slightly and said, "What kind of hostility does Princess Nanqing have towards His Highness?"
The princess gritted her teeth and stared at her for a long time. She was so scared that she couldn't help but ask.
"It's okay, you don't have to worry about it."
There was endless music in the hall, and Qi Qingling's voice was so weak that Shen Qianyu had to lower his head to talk to her. This scene seemed to Qin Rao to be a deliberate humiliation.
He was telling her that he would rather be gentle to a girl who was barely beautiful and from a humble background than give her even the slightest chance of becoming a crown princess.
Qin Rao looked at Qi Qingling carefully and realized that she was indeed the kind of delicate and frail person that most men would like.
At the end of the song, everyone in the palace was in low spirits. Just when Emperor Wen Hui was about to ask the banquet to be dismissed, Qin Rao suddenly said: "I wonder if Prince Liangyuan can perform a performance for my princess to relieve her boredom?"
"No."
Shen Qianyu replied coldly, and Qin Rao stood up suddenly. Emperor Wen Hui saw this and said, "Princess Nanqing has come all the way. What's the big deal for Prince Liangyuan to amuse the princess?"
With Nan Qing's land-cutting handwriting, he could die without regrets, so why did he care about the face of a prince, Liang Yuan?
"you……"
Emperor Wen Hui didn't know Qi Qingling's name, so he just gently told her to do as Qin Rao said.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Man, who had dull eyes, glanced at Emperor Wen Hui coldly, while Song Yuning lowered her eyes to hide the contempt in her eyes.
Just as Shen Qianyu was about to say something else, Qi Qingling slowly stood up.
The prince has protected them a lot, and she has nothing to repay him. Now she can just repay him by not letting him get into trouble because of her.
Qi Qingling stood up and walked to the center of the hall. After bowing to Emperor Wen Hui, Concubine Jiang, Concubine Yun and others, she asked the people from the Department of Bells and Drums to bring the piano over.
Song Yuning watched her movements and secretly thought that in the entire East Palace, except for Wan'er, Qi Qingling's appearance next to the prince was not unexpected.
With a clank, the sound of the piano sounded, and everyone looked up at the person playing the piano.
No one thought that Qi Liangyuan, who was not very good-looking, could have such superb piano skills.
And when Qi Qing played the harp and played the harp, a burst of enchanting charm burst out from her whole body. It was as if she had emerged from her shrinking shell and suddenly burst into glory.
When the song ended, everyone in the palace was still immersed in the sound of her piano, and they never came back to their senses for a long time.
Even a person like Shen Qianyu, who is not familiar with music, has to say that it is wonderful.
When she sat back in her seat, Qi Qingling's face turned red and her heart was filled with excitement.
"reward."
Emperor Wen Hui's face was filled with joy, and he seemed to be feeling proud of the spring breeze.
Everyone was smiling, except for the Nanqing delegation, who all looked solemn.
But they didn't dare to make any reaction. They traveled all the way to Dongning and even dared to speak out to comfort those who accused Qin Rao, but they couldn't get out of Nanqing alive.
"Ha, good piano skills."
Qin Rao praised him with a smile, while Qi Qingling only slightly raised her lips, showing a slightly shy smile.
Emperor Wen Hui was in a good mood tonight, and even when he was helped away by Song Yuning, the smile on his face was still there.
"Princess, please come with me."
When the banquet was over, the palace maid wanted to take Qin Rao away. Huai Xuan stepped forward to stop her, but was pushed away by Qin Rao.
"You all go back to the inn. This princess will enter the palace today."
Although Shen Qianyu made her very unhappy, Qin Rao found Emperor Wen Hui's attitude very interesting today.
Maybe she was with the wrong person from the beginning.
"You go back to the inn and wait for news from me."
Huai Xuan tried to dissuade her to no avail, so she had no choice but to leave with the palace maid.
"I will go back to the East Palace with you."
Qi Qingling nodded and walked behind Shen Qianyu. When they arrived at Qi Qingling's Tingyue Pavilion, Shen Qianyu said, "Don't walk around these days, especially don't appear in front of Qin Rao."
"I know it."
The girl blushed, turned around and walked back to the palace with the maid.
Shen Qianyu looked at her back and turned to Ji Rong and said, "Look for two people to watch Qin Rao and don't let her act recklessly in the harem."
"This slave knows."
The two of them walked silently to the prince's palace. When they arrived at Laiyi Pavilion, Shen Qianyu looked at the courtyard where the lights had been turned off.
"That's all, go back."
Sleeping alone, Shen Qianyu went to court early the next morning, while Qi Qingling was surrounded early by Lu Youjun and others.
Lu Youjun was overjoyed as she held a box of tribute oranges sent by merchants from outside the palace.
Wu Xixiang smiled and said to Qi Qingling: "I heard that Qi Liangyuan shocked the West with her skills yesterday and showed off her power?"
"Wu Liangdi is making fun of my sister?"
She pushed Wu Xixiang with a shy look on her face, and Qi Qingling looked at Shang Rong and silently begged for mercy. Zhao Nanzhang and Zhang Baozhen were laughing so hard at the side, while Song Wan was pulled by Lu Youjun to peel oranges for several people.
Shang Rong said with a kind face: "I didn't know you had such skills, how about you play a song for us?"
Zhao Nanzhang said: "Qing Ling, come here, my sister will accompany you."
He took out a short wooden flute from his sleeve. Song Wan saw that the wooden flute had been rubbed until it turned into jade, and he guessed that it should be Zhao Nanzhang's favorite thing.
It was hard to reject the warm hospitality. Seeing that all the sisters were very interested, Qi Qingling asked someone to play the piano.
When the song ended, Shang Rong couldn't help but cheer, and Song Wan was also filled with surprise and admiration.
She had not touched the piano for a long time, but she was also very interested.
Qi Qingling was being praised by others. When she saw the longing in Song Wan's eyes, she quickly pulled her to sit in front of the piano.
"Song Chenghui also plays a song."
"Then Wan'er will make a fool of himself."
Song Wan put his hand on the piano and started playing it not very skillfully. Everyone knows that she has been a widow for six years, and now no one makes fun of her for her lack of piano skills.
Qi Qingling stood not far from her, occasionally giving some advice.
While everyone was playing around, Qin Rao walked in with a Western smile on his face under the eunuch's call, and greeted Shang Rong in a rather amiable manner.
