A beautiful daughter came to the Xiangfu
Chapter 18 Xiao Family
Little King An looked at them.
"What's so difficult about this?"
Lin Qingyang and Zhuang Weining looked at Little Prince An. The more anxious they became, the less he spoke.
"Just tell them!" Prince Zhuang Yunlin came out to smooth things over.
"Don't you want to know?" Prince Xiao An asked the prince.
"If you think so, tell me now, don't keep me in suspense."
"When the water is low, more of it is exposed outside, so it is big. When the water is high, the exposed area is small. The answer is stones in the water. Stones can be seen everywhere, so this question is not difficult."
After Prince Xiao An finished explaining, Zhuang Weining and Lin Qingyang thought about it carefully for a while, and it seemed to be the case.
As they walked, they arrived at the carriage and all four of them got on it.
The Duke's Mansion and the Prime Minister's Mansion were on the same street. If calculated based on the distance, the carriage should have turned first to send Prince Xiao An back to the palace, and then send the rest of the people, but the carriage did not turn.
"Is the prince not going back home?" Lin Qingyang asked curiously as she saw the carriage heading straight to East Street without turning at the main street.
"I'm going to the Duke's Mansion." Prince Xiao An replied.
"Oh!" Lin Qingyang didn't think much about it, but just felt that they were really "busy".
The carriage drove from the south side of East Street and passed by the Prime Minister's Residence. Lin Qingyang got off the carriage first.
Not long after Lin Qingyang entered the mansion, Lin Meir also returned. Originally, Lin Meir should have returned first, but she discussed a "deal" with Su Siyan and the illegitimate son of the Marquis's Mansion.
On the fifth day of March, the Queen's mother's family held a banquet to celebrate the promotion of a relative. People in the Prime Minister's Mansion were naturally invited, but there were also some who "took the initiative" to come and congratulate.
The Queen’s maternal family is the Anle Marquisate, the Xiao family.
Most of the people who came to the banquet were preparing for the Crown Prince's selection of a concubine next year.
This banquet can be regarded as the largest-level banquet Lin Qingyang has ever attended.
At the beginning of the banquet, artists from the Education Department played musical instruments and sang, and performed acrobatics, making the banquet grand and lively.
Lin Qingyang thought carefully about what experiences he had when he attended this banquet in his previous life?
When the banquet started, some food was placed on the table, including dry rice, tripe soup, noodles, smallpox cakes, Taiping Biluo, meat and salted bean curd, roasted bones, etc.
After the main banquet, a group of female relatives accompanied the Queen to appreciate the flowers in the backyard. Next to the Queen was Anle Hou's eldest daughter Xiao Caihe.
In the previous life, Lin Meir and Su Siyan wanted to embarrass themselves, but ended up offending Xiao Caihe by accident.
In my previous life, Xiao Caihe was very good to me. If I hadn’t entered the Prince’s Mansion and been framed by Xiao Caihe, I wouldn’t have known that Xiao Caihe had been using me.
As expected, Su Siyan and Lin Meir started again.
"Your Majesty, I heard that Miss Xiao plays the guqin very well. I don't have the chance to do so normally. Today I am fortunate to meet her. I wonder if I will have the chance to listen to her music."
Lin Meir relied on the fact that her father was the prince's teacher and felt that her relationship with the queen was closer than others.
The Queen knew that her niece Xiao Caihe was an excellent zither player, so she smiled and patted her hands. Xiao Caihe was at home, so she asked someone to send the zither to her.
The Queen also had the Crown Prince called over. She had her eyes on Xiao Caihe as her daughter-in-law, so naturally she wanted to give her a chance to show her talents.
Lin Meier spoke again, "Empress, our elder sister Qing Yang, who just returned to Beijing, was very skilled in pitching pots with Miss Zhuang a few days ago. She also said that she has learned to play a musical instrument. Why not let my sister play with Miss Xiao?"
The Queen originally wanted her niece to perform alone, but it was hard to refuse what Lin Mei'er said, so she glanced at Xiao Caihe, and Miss Xiao nodded.
"Is Miss Lin willing?" the queen asked.
Lin Qingyang came out from the crowd and said, "Qingyang is willing to do it, but I am afraid that my piano skills are not good enough and I will disturb Miss Xiao."
Xiao Caihe smiled slightly, "No, I don't know what instrument Miss Lin is good at. I'll ask someone to get it."
"lute."
Lin Qingyang replied.
The guqin that Xiao Caihe was going to use and the pipa that Lin Qingyang was going to use were brought up.
The two discussed the music and played a song together.
Lin Qingyang did not try to show off, and Xiao Caihe did not "show off her skills". Lin Qingyang followed Xiao Caihe's tune and cooperated with her very well.
After the song ended, everyone applauded.
"This music should only exist in heaven, how many times can we hear it in the world? The music played by the two girls is as beautiful as the sound of nature!"
The prince, who was coming from the front yard, happened to see this scene and clapped and praised.
Lin Qingyang looked up in the direction where the voice came from. It was the two "brothers" - the Crown Prince and Prince Xiao An.
Everyone greeted each other.
"Mother, the music played by the two girls is so beautiful, we should appreciate it!"
The prince had spoken, and the queen happily ordered rewards, giving each person a hairpin inlaid with kingfisher feathers.
After receiving the reward, the two people expressed their gratitude!
When Lin Mei'er saw the prince praising them, her face turned green with anger. It was simply "shooting oneself in the foot."
"This is the tea my brother brought back from Jiangnan. Let everyone try it today!" The queen led everyone to taste tea in the garden.
Zhuang Weining was sitting not far from Lin Qingyang. When the maid was pouring tea, she accidentally wet Zhuang Weining's skirt. Zhuang Weining was just getting up to change her clothes.
Lin Qingyang sat aside and suddenly remembered something. She watched Su Siyan quietly leave.
Lin Qingyang called her maid over and whispered something to her, and the maid left the garden.
Lin Qingyang sat for a while, and when she saw that Zhuang Weining hadn't come back, she wanted to leave. At this time, a maid ran over in a hurry and whispered something to the queen.
"How dare you!" The Queen was furious after hearing this! She stood up and left. Everyone else followed her out of curiosity.
Lin Qingyang glanced at Lin Meir, only to see her lower her head and smile, then she looked at Lin Qingyang provocatively, then stood up and left with everyone.
After Lin Mei'er left, Lin Qingyang put away her confused expression and raised her eyes. The maid who had just gone out came back and nodded at her.
"Today, let's deal with the guy named Su first!"
