Obviously, she regretted lending the pipa to Luo Lan.

Luo Lan blinked her crystal eyes, nodded and smiled slightly:

"Prince Princess's pipa is good, but the tone is still not right. The second string should be tighter, and the fourth string should be looser."

After leaving these words, she came to the front of the hall again, bowed to the emperor and returned to her seat.

Leng Xi, who was sitting beside her, looked at her with astonished and surprised eyes,

"Didn't you say you don't know the rhythm? How can you dance so well?"

Luo Lan shook her head and chuckled, "It's just a trick, thank you Lord Xi for helping me just now."

It turned out that she knew everything. She didn't just dance with selflessness. She had already noticed Wu Linlin's little movements, but she didn't expect that Lengxi would help her. This surprised her a little.

Leng Xi mischievously blinked at her a few times, "Sister-in-law Huang's words are polite, but I didn't expect that you know so many things, now I wonder if you are a fairy descended to earth?"

Luo Lan didn't care about her joking words, and now her perception of this Lord Xi has changed a little.

Luo Lan didn't pay much attention to the next gift, she was thinking that she would find a way to go to Concubine Li's palace later, find that Nanny Lu, and inquire about Nanny Sun.

After everyone presented their birthday presents, it was time for the luncheon. The emperor left early because of something to do, so the luncheon was dominated by Concubine Chang Gui.

She specially let Luo Lan sit at the same table with her, and the people sitting at this table are:

Concubine Chang, Concubine Li, Lengxi, Leng Ming, Wu Linlin, Luo Lan.

Concubine Chang Gui is in a good mood today, so the atmosphere at the scene is very warm and happy.

Luo Lan didn't care too much, she just wanted to finish eating as soon as possible and leave here early.

At this moment, Concubine Li looked at Luo Lan with a curious expression,

"Princess Yu grew up in the countryside, how did she learn to dance and play music? And I heard that Princess Yu also knows medical skills?"

Telling her that she might not understand, Luo Lan shook her head and chuckled, "Luo Lan is just superficial, it's nothing to worry about."

Seeing that she didn't want to answer directly, Wu Linlin snorted coldly, "Princess Yu knows a lot, how about reciting poems and painting? Let's compare when you have time?"

Hearing this, Leng Xi jokingly said:

"Sister-in-law, don't underestimate Concubine Yu. She has already outdone you by playing music and dancing just now. If she composes poems and paints and then compares you, wouldn't you lose face? You are the most talented woman in the capital." The position will be given up."

Seeing that Lengxi taunted her with words like this, Wu Linlin, who was already angry, became even more annoyed.

But she still pretended to be calm and raised her handkerchief to wipe the corner of her mouth, then smiled slightly,

"I don't mean to look down on Princess Yu, I just want to let everyone see her because she has great skills, but I don't know if Princess Yu has such a good mood?"

To be honest, Luo Lan really doesn't have this kind of elegance.

She is not in the mood to recite poems and draw pictures here now, and she is still counting on ending this luncheon early to get down to business.

So, she put down the chopsticks in her hand, shook her head coldly at Wu Linlin,

"The Crown Princess is the number one talented woman in the capital. Luo Lan dare not stand next to her, so naturally she doesn't dare to make gestures with her. Besides, Luo Lan doesn't know a few big characters, so how can she recite poems?"

Hearing what she said, Wu Linlin's competitive heart was instantly aroused.

Just now her dancing skills have surpassed hers, if she can win a game in reciting poems and painting, she can also save some face.

So, she taunted unrelentingly:

"Princess Yu is really a humble person, how about this, let's compose an impromptu poem for my mother's birthday banquet, how about adding to the fun?"

As soon as she finished speaking, an indescribable look flashed in Concubine Chang's eyes.

When Luo Lan played the pipa and danced, she doubted her identity. She even suspected that this woman was not the Luo Lan she found from the countryside. How could a woman from the countryside have such superb skills?

She even suspected that Luo Lan in front of her had used the disguise technique, and she must have some ulterior purpose in entering Prince Yu's mansion and then approaching the royal family.

Wu Linlin's words aroused her interest, and she just took this opportunity to try her again.

So, she nodded in agreement there, "Linlin's words make sense, if Lan'er doesn't know how to recite poems, just say a few auspicious words."

Concubine Li also lightly lifted the brocade handkerchief in her hand, wiped the corners of her mouth, nodded and said:

"That's right! Concubine Yu, don't be modest, how can someone with such superb dancing skills not understand poetry?"

Luo Lan's brows tightened. She had already seen the surprised looks in everyone's eyes during the dance just now, and now if she was talking about poetry again, people would doubt her even more.

Although she is not afraid of being suspected by others, she also does not want to cause unreasonable troubles. It seems that she has to pretend for a while.

Thinking of this, she simply nodded, "Then invite the princess to come first, my brain is not active enough, I need to think about it for a while."

Seeing her answer, Wu Linlin pursed her lips proudly, half-closed her eyes and thought for a while, then slowly said:

"Shepherd's purse provides the cake, and the buds of the locust tree are picked to make the oyster.

It's not ridiculous to live in seclusion in the morning and evening. "

"it is good!"

There was applause and applause from the crowd.

The guests and women who were dining had put down their chopsticks one after another, and gathered around to watch the excitement. They immediately clapped their hands and applauded when they heard Wu Linlin's eloquent lines.

Wu Linlin looked up proudly, showing a big smile to those who praised her.

At this time, she looked at Luo Lan, raised her eyebrows and said:

"Princess Yu please!"

Luo Lan was silent in her heart for a while. Regarding the poem on the dinner table, she suddenly thought of an ancient poem she had learned in elementary school textbooks in her previous life.

So, she half-closed her eyes, and slowly said:

"At noon on the day of hoeing,

Sweat drips down the soil.

Who knows the plate of Chinese food,

Every particle is hard work. "

She just wanted to deal with this extremely simple poem, but unexpectedly, the people at the scene fell silent after listening to it.

Leng Ming, who had been silent all this time, suddenly clapped his hands and said:

"This poem is so easy to understand. It not only describes the hardships of farmers in farming, but also warns people to cherish food. It's a good poem, a good poem!"

Lengxi also shook her head, and kept nodding there,

"Although the number of words in this poem is not many, it has extraordinary meaning and is worthy of being recited by the common people."

The words of the two princes immediately made Luo Lan feel dumbfounded.

She just borrowed from ancient poems to deal with it, how did it become a good poem worth reciting in their mouths?

Hearing this, the people present also praised,

"Well, good poetry, good poetry."

"What a poem, what a poem!"

Luo Lan felt as if she was going to die of embarrassment, she buried her head very low.

Wu Linlin's face turned green and pale for a while. Her poems were also borrowed from other places. The words and sentences were all elegant and incomprehensible. Why didn't she hear what was so good about her poems?

Although Concubine Chang's complexion looked ruddy, it had actually become extremely cold.

She was sure that Huolan in front of her was definitely not a country woman, or she had disguised herself as a country woman and sneaked into Prince Yu's mansion.

No wonder she was disobedient. It turns out that this woman has another identity and another purpose. It seems that her previous decision was still wrong. It would be too easy to just kill her. She should investigate her carefully.

Concubine Li's face was a little more joyful, and she kept nodding her head in praise of Luo Lan.
