Xu Mengfei was delighted when she heard this, as if she had been waiting for this moment to come.

"Your Majesty, to be honest, I do have a small wish. I heard that your country's Princess Chen is very smart and must be very proficient in skills. Today is your Majesty's birthday. I wonder if I will be lucky enough to see the Princess Chen's elegance?"

As soon as these words came out, Lin Qingyao immediately became the focus of everyone's attention.

Lin Qingyao couldn't help but find it a little funny. It seemed that her premonition was very accurate.

The princess of Dongyuan Kingdom really spoke shockingly, but she never expected that this person was targeting her.

Lin Qingyao looked at Xu Mengfei, only to find that she was also looking at her.

What Lin Qingyao found strange was that Xu Mengfei had an obvious smile on her face when she looked at her, and it was not a mockery nor was she waiting to see a joke.

This expression actually looks more like appreciation, as if he is very much looking forward to her next performance.

"Hahaha, Yao'er, it seems that you are really famous now. I am very pleased to have such an excellent daughter-in-law like you. I have already said all my big words. Whether I will break my promise to the princess today depends on you."

Xiao Chenyu had never expected Xu Mengfei's request. He thought about it and realized that he had never seen Lin Qingyao demonstrate this skill before, so Xiao Chenyu was not clear about her abilities.

However, he had just promised Xu Mengfei that he would fulfill her wish and he must not go back on his word, but at the same time he was worried about his daughter-in-law.

Xiao Chenyu thought about it and decided to praise Lin Qingyao first and then naturally passed the words to her.

Lin Qingyao saw Xiao Chenyu's worry and smiled back at him.

Thanks to the hard work and practice in the previous life, although it cannot be called amazing, Lin Qingyao has mastered these skills very well, which is enough to deal with today's situation.

Lin Qingyao felt confident, so she was not panicked at all.

No matter what the princess's purpose is, since the matter has fallen on her, Lin Qingyao will not back down.

Jamel Xiao beside him was also unsure about this matter. After all, he had never seen Lin Qingyao demonstrate these skills.

Lin Qingyao never mentioned these things on her own initiative, so Jamel Xiao didn't ask.

After all, he liked Lin Qingyao as a person. As for whether Lin Qingyao had these so-called talents, it was not important to him at all.

Jamel Xiao whispered, “Yao’er, if you don’t want to agree, just refuse directly. I’m here, so don’t worry.”

Lin Qingyao smiled when she heard this. Jamel Xiao's short words gave her enough confidence.

No matter what the circumstances, Jamel Xiao would always consider the problem from her perspective and give her full support.

At the same time, Jamel Xiao will also give her enough support so that she can have no worries.

Lin Qingyao gently held Jamel Xiao’s hand and whispered, “Don’t worry, trust me.”

As soon as Lin Qingyao said these words, Jamel Xiao felt relieved.

Lin Qingyao never shows off. Since she said so, there is no need to worry. Just believe her.

The person who was most gloating about this matter was Xiao Jingyi. He had heard Lin Qingrou say before that Lin Qingyao was unskilled in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and that she was bound to be embarrassed today.

Moreover, in an occasion like today, Lin Qingyao not only lost her own face, but also brought shame to the entire Great Qi Kingdom.

If these envoys from other countries make a fool of themselves, it would be useless even if their father liked her. Lin Qingyao would be doomed today.

Thinking of this, Xiao Jingyi couldn't help but look at Xu Mengfei differently. Although he didn't know why she targeted Lin Qingyao alone, he was happy as long as he could embarrass Lin Qingyao.

"Don't worry, father. I won't let you break your promise. Today is your birthday. Even if the princess didn't mention it, I had already prepared a performance to celebrate your birthday."

Lin Qingyao was very calm when she said this, and everyone who heard this was convinced by what Lin Qingyao said.

Of course, Xiao Jingyi was the only exception. He firmly believed that Lin Qingyao knew nothing at all and was just pretending in front of everyone. Her true colors would be revealed soon.

Xiao Chenyu didn't expect Lin Qingyao to be so indifferent about this matter. He felt relieved. It seemed that his daughter-in-law still had many surprises that he didn't know about.

Xiao Chenyu smiled and said, "Okay, Yao'er is indeed a thoughtful person. I wonder what surprise you have prepared for me today?"

"Your Majesty, I am not good at dancing, and I know that my dancing skills cannot match the princess's. I have some knowledge of the zither, so I will present a song for you to express my gratitude."

Before Xiao Chenyu could respond, Su Yan stood up and saluted.

"Father, what a coincidence! I have prepared a sword dance to celebrate your birthday. Since your fifth sister-in-law is proficient in the zither, how about cooperating with me and presenting this performance for you?"

When these words came out, Xiao Jingfeng beside Su Yan was shocked.

Su Yan has always been indifferent to these things, but today he actually took the initiative to propose to perform together with Lin Qingyao. It's really a blessing in disguise.

Putting aside other things, Xiao Jingfeng had seen Su Yan's martial arts. Looking at the entire Great Qi Kingdom, there were probably few people who could be her match.

Su Yan was so beautiful, and had such outstanding martial arts skills, it was hard for Xiao Jingfeng to imagine how stunning her sword dance would be.

Xiao Jingfeng couldn't help but think of the scene of Su Yan practicing sword that day. That scene is still deeply imprinted in his mind and cannot be erased.

Xiao Jingfeng was actually not very happy about letting other people see Su Yan's beauty.

However, since this performance is dedicated to his father, Su Yan's ability will surely be appreciated by his father, and it will also make him save face in front of everyone.

Thinking of this, Xiao Jingfeng felt a little better.

But actually speaking, it is useless for Xiao Jingfeng to think so much. After all, Su Yan is a person with his own ideas and will not change anything because of his ideas.

And the most important thing is that he can't control Su Yan, so it's futile to say anything. It's better to stay there honestly. Maybe he can get a precious smile from Su Yan.

Thinking of this, Xiao Jingfeng couldn't help but sigh. He wondered when Su Yan would care so much about his affairs.

In fact, the reason why Su Yan stood up was very simple. She admired General Lin very much, and she had a pleasant conversation with Lin Qingyao last time.

Su Yan didn't know how much Lin Qingyao mastered these talents, but she felt that the proposal of the Princess of Dongyuan Kingdom might make Lin Qingyao embarrassed.

And Lin Qingyao just happened to say that she wanted to play the piano, so the only martial art she was good at could help.

So no matter from which perspective, Su Yan should lend a helping hand, and she did so.

As for what other people think, Su Yan doesn't care, and it can't affect any of her decisions.
