Everyone present was stunned upon hearing this, except Qin Yunxian, who remained expressionless.

When investigating the Annan Palace before, he had people focus on investigating Rong Heqing. During the years when she was stupid, the princess taught her to play the pipa when she had nothing to do. Although she was stupid and could not remember the songs, the princess still patiently taught her over and over again.

After a few years, although she still couldn't play a complete piece of music, she had already understood the structure of the pipa clearly and had mastered the fingering. Even if she didn't understand it, she could play it from memory.

I just wonder what she can do after she gets the hang of it?

Others were waiting to see a good show, and Qin Yunxian was also waiting to see a good show, but what he wanted to see was the good show of everyone present.

Rong Heqing borrowed a pipa from the musician. The emperor had a stool moved to the center of the hall. Rong Heqing sat on the stool facing everyone, put his hand on the pipa, closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

999 asked worriedly: [Host, how about I open a backdoor for you? I can take over your body for a short time, and you tell me what song you want to play? ]

Rong Heqing refused, "No need, I can do it myself."

999: [Ah? You can play the pipa?]

Rong Heqing didn't answer. She opened her eyes and smiled calmly. She tried playing the pipa twice to get a feel for it. Then she stopped smiling and started playing the pipa formally.

The beginning was passionate and powerful, and the originally relaxed atmosphere became tense. Everyone couldn't help but sit up straight and stare at her intently.

The bright red skirt with gold embroidery shone brightly in the brightly lit hall, and the hem of the skirt fell gracefully to the ground, like a blooming red plum.

In contrast, Ronghe's skin is as white as snow and as smooth as jade. Her ten slender fingers, as white as scallions, either lightly plucking or quickly strumming the strings, making people dazzled.

She lowered her head slightly, revealing a section of her snow-white neck. The tassels of her golden hairpin swayed slightly, casting a swaying shadow on the back of her neck.

When the piece reached its climax, she moved more vigorously, the tassels swayed more violently, and the shadow also swayed along with her.

Qin Yunxian was in a daze, with the wine glass hanging in the air for a long time without moving.

Everyone else in the room held their breath, staring at her in surprise or joy.

The wind blowing from somewhere ruffled her wide sleeves, gently lifting them up to reveal her slender wrist bones. Rong Heqing suddenly raised her eyes to the void, her hands kept moving, the rapid sound of the strings rang incessantly, instantly pulling her into a situation full of dangers.

With her back against the wall and her last legs, there was a hint of murderous intent in her eyes.

The sound of the strings was incessant and faster and faster, and everyone's heart was lifted up and they were extremely nervous.

Finally, after reaching the climax, the sound of the strings became lower, Rong Heqing's hands also slowed down, and when the last note fell, she flicked her long sleeves, the sound of the pipa stopped, and the song ended.

She closed her eyes, slowly exhaled a breath of hot air, stood up holding the pipa, and bowed to the stunned emperor, "Your humble servant is here to perform."

"If you call this ugly, few people here would dare to boast about it, right?"

The emperor clapped his hands and laughed, "I never thought you could play the pipa so well! I am really impressed. Good, good! It seems your mother has put a lot of effort into training you."

Rong Heqing smiled and said, "Mother has indeed never given up on me, your subject, and has always kept me by her side to teach me."

"No wonder you are so sensible once you become enlightened. The Princess of the County has contributed greatly to this." The Queen said with emotion: "You really deserve the title of 'stunning the whole crowd' tonight."

Rong Heqing didn't say anything. He turned his head and looked at Concubine Xian. He saw that Concubine Xian's eyes were red and her expression was excited, as if she saw that her child had made progress.

"You play well, reward! Big reward!"

The Emperor himself conferred the title of Princess Changle on her and she was outstanding, which made him proud and naturally happy. In addition, her pipa playing was really outstanding, which made people feel very satisfied. He ignored her father and the Emperor liked her more and more.

Rong Heqing returned the pipa to the musician, turned to look at the officials who had fanned the flames, raised his eyebrows and smiled, "How is it, are you satisfied?"

Those people looked at each other, so embarrassed that they wished they could find a hole to crawl into.

Who would have thought that a fool could play the pipa?

999 was also curious, [Host, how do you play the pipa? ]

[I learned it in my previous life. The first time I saw someone playing the pipa, I liked it. I don’t know why. Later, when I had money, I signed up for a class and studied hard for a long time. Maybe I really have talent in this area, plus a little passion, I learned very quickly and never fell behind.]

999: [I see! I didn't expect it would come in handy at a time like this!]

【So it’s always a good idea to learn more, because learning is gaining. 】

Those officials smiled and said a few nice words. Rong Heqing was too lazy to argue with them and sat back in his seats.

Two burning gazes came from the opposite side. She raised her eyes inadvertently and saw Qin Yunxian and Prince Jin looking at her.

She didn't understand and smiled at the two of them.

Prince Jin also smiled back and nodded at her with a gentle expression.

And Qin Yunxian...

He turned his face away again.

Rong Heqing: “???”

Not what you mean?

"The princess is beautiful and plays the pipa so well. After tonight, I'm afraid the threshold of the palace will be trampled down by matchmakers." Concubine Zhen suddenly joked.

Someone immediately asked, "How old is the princess? Is she still unmarried?"

"I heard that the princess had an engagement, why hasn't she gotten married yet?"

As soon as these words were spoken, there was a lot of discussion at the table.

Rong Heqing narrowed his eyes and said, "Okay, let's go for her tonight, right?"

If she didn't know who was behind this before, now she couldn't think of anyone else except the Fourteenth Prince.

"The arranged marriage is just a joke, how can you take it seriously?" Concubine Xian said gently, "The princess has just come to her senses, there is no rush to get married."

"Yes." The Queen was about to smooth things over when Duke Rong suddenly spoke up, "Come on, it's none of your business to worry about the Princess's marriage. Besides, since the engagement hasn't been finalized, why are you asking so many questions? Isn't that just piercing someone's wounds?"

He spoke with righteousness, but his words sounded strange to others.

The queen opened her eyes wide and quickly winked at him.

Duke Rong didn't finish his words, but when he saw that she looked strange, he stopped talking.

"That's enough. Your Majesty, why do you keep bringing up these things at your Majesty's birthday banquet?" Concubine Xian raised the wine cup and said, "Your Majesty, I offer you a toast."

The emperor looked at Duke Rong deeply, raised his glass and said, "Changle is of noble status, and marriage is not a joke. I have my own plans, so please do not discuss it."

"Yes!"

The emperor spoke, and these people finally quieted down.

Rong He watched coldly, and Chen Zhining whispered, "Princess, don't take it to heart. My father didn't mean it. He just doesn't know how to talk."

"No problem." Rong Heqing lowered his eyes and looked at the delicacies on the table, and said with a fake smile: "I won't bother with him."

Chen Zhining: “…”

After sitting for a while, the dancer changed her clothes and came in, the singing and dancing started again, and Rong Heqing stood up and quietly left.
