Yan Muching is good at the flute, and Taizi is good at the Xiao. When they were classmates in music class in their early years, the two have played together countless times.

Although the prince replaced the flute with leaves, when the first syllable of "A Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix" sounded, it did not affect the tacit understanding between the two at all.

The sound of the flute is bright, the sound of the leaves is melodious, and the birds are singing, from one, two, three... to countless birds.

When the music reached its climax, everyone seemed to really see countless birds singing in the sky above the hall, creating an extremely lively and joyful atmosphere.

After the song was over, the Queen Mother was so excited that her face was flushed, "Jin Tang is really my good grandson, great, great!"

"It's just a trifle. I hope the Empress Dowager likes it!" The prince bowed to the Empress Dowager with a smile, then turned to look at Yan Muqing, "I would also like to thank Sister Muqing. Without Sister Muqing's beautiful flute music, the melody would not have been presented so well."

Yan Muqing knelt down and saluted, "Your Highness is a master of music, and I dare not take credit for it!"

One addressed him affectionately, the other was extremely polite. Anyone present who was not stupid could see that the prince was interested in the eldest daughter of the Yan family.

The girl from the Yan family does not seem to want to get close to the prince, but it is unknown whether she really does not want to get close to him or is playing hard to get.

Empress Xue didn't want the farce to continue, so she said calmly, "Prince, please stop trying to show off. Take a seat! I heard that the daughter of the Li family also prepared a dance to celebrate the Queen Mother's birthday?"

Li Chan'er stood up and replied, "I have indeed prepared a dance, I hope it can make the Queen Mother smile!"

After the palace servants carried a huge drum into the hall, Li Chan'er stepped barefoot on the drum surface that was as high as a person.

As the drum beats, Li Chaner begins to dance, waving her sleeves, jumping and spinning, moving gracefully to the cheerful music.

Li Chaner has been learning to dance since she was a child. Her beautiful dance moves are graceful and soft, and every movement is exquisite. When the song reaches its climax, she leaps up, her agile body flying as light as a swallow.

But when it landed lightly on the drum, it suddenly let out a shrill scream, "Ah!!!"

Immediately afterwards, there was a loud "bang".

When everyone came back to their senses from their intoxication, Li Chan'er had fallen off the drum to the ground, curled up and wailing.

"Ah!!! My legs, my legs hurt so much, my legs hurt so much..."

The accident happened in an instant. Concubine Li stood up in panic and wanted to go forward to check, but she felt it was inappropriate and stepped back. She hurriedly ordered the eldest prince beside her, "Why don't you go over and check on your sister Chan'er?"

The eldest prince did not have any romantic feelings for Li Chan'er, but the affection he had for her since childhood was like that of family. Before Concubine Li finished speaking, he had already rushed to Li Chan'er's side.

After the initial struggle and screaming, Li Chan'er lay motionless on the ground, apparently having fainted.

The Empress Dowager looked very unhappy as such a tragic incident happened at such a nice birthday banquet. She even disliked Concubine Li and the Weiyuan Marquis' Mansion.

In a short while, Li Chan'er and the drum were carried away, and the hall returned to its peaceful and harmonious state.

Li Chaner has practiced the drum dance countless times, so the possibility of making a mistake and falling is extremely small.

When Li Chan'er dropped the drum, the eldest princess's eyes fell on Yan Muyun.

After all, Yan Muyun had just fallen into the water due to Li Chan'er's misfortune yesterday, so it was only right for her to retaliate today.

But she saw that Yan Muyun was as shocked as everyone else throughout the whole process, and she probably didn't know that Li Chan'er would fall off the drum.

In recent years, Li Chan'er has relied on her mother's favor to bully countless people, but she has always acted with discretion and always bullied those who she could bully. The possibility of being retaliated against is very small.

He had been domineering for many years, but he had only fallen into Yan Muyun's hands once. Based on her understanding of Li Chan'er, Li Chan'er would definitely retaliate double for the slap in the face that day.

But she underestimated the courage of Li Chan'er who was spoiled by her mother. She was so bold that she wanted to kill the noble woman on the eve of the Royal Grandmother's birthday banquet.

What was even more unexpected was that there was someone more daring than Li Chan'er, who actually plotted to make Li Chan'er fall at the birthday banquet without regard for the consequences.

Today's accident must be handed over to the Dali Temple for a thorough investigation. She was really curious about who this daring person was.

The sun sets in the west, in the Golden and Jade Garden.

Dongyu trotted in, "The eldest and third young ladies have returned home, would you like to go and take a look?"

"I don't have the strength. Let's talk about it tomorrow!" Yan Muxi leaned on the couch and waved his hands lazily.

She almost drowned at the bottom of the lake, but fortunately she had a good physical condition. From last night until now, she only had a stuffy nose and abdominal pain, and no fever symptoms.

But she felt uncomfortable even without a fever, and she really didn't want to use her hands or brain.

Things have come to this, no matter what happens tomorrow, just feel comfortable today!

"Forget it, miss, just lie down and I'll go and find out for you!" Dong Yu said and ran out of the door like a gust of wind, just in time to bump into Yin Xia who was entering the room through the curtain.

Yin Xia muttered, "You girl, you're already fifteen and you still don't act steady!" Then she walked to the bed, lifted the quilt and put the hot water bottle in, "Miss, are you feeling better? Is your abdomen still hurting?"

Yan Muxi pulled Yinxia to sit down beside the couch, "It still hurts, Yinxia, ​​help me rub it!"

Her hands were slightly hot from having just held the hot water bottle, so Yinxia reached into the quilt and rubbed her belly.

"I have already sent someone to inform the young master to put the marriage proposal on hold for the time being. Miss, please don't think too much and take good care of yourself. It won't be too late to make plans after you are well again."

Yan Muxi smiled bitterly and didn't respond.

My father had already learned that the Qian family wanted to marry into the family. As a smart man, it was not difficult for him to guess my grandfather's intention.

I’m afraid that if the marriage fails, the Qian family’s money will still not be kept.

Just thinking about it makes her angry. If she knew who kicked her into the lake, she would definitely let him know why some flowers are red.

After dinner, Qian Manman came over and asked about Yan's well-being. When she learned that Yan's father had gone to Manweiyuan, she ran away as fast as the wind, faster than being chased by a dog.

After everyone left the house, Dongyu complained with a puffy face, "The eldest lady is sick, and her mother is taking care of her day and night. How can our young lady be any worse? How can she be so unwelcome? Ah~"

Yinxia pinched her waist, and Dongyu realized that what she said was wrong. She quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, Miss. I didn't mean to say anything bad about Madam Man. I just feel uncomfortable and feel sorry for you."

"You keep talking!" Yinxia pretended to pinch her again. She dodged at first, then puffed up her cheeks and came over to pinch Yinxia, ​​"Pinch it, pinch it harder so it hurts. Next time, I will remember not to talk nonsense!"

Yin Xia rolled her eyes at her and said, "Go, go, go, figure out what you did wrong. I feel like my hands are hurting from twisting you!"

Dongyu practices martial arts every day, and has a body full of muscular muscles. It is really difficult for people with weak hands to twist his muscles.

When only the master and servant were left in the room, Yin Xia lowered her voice and said, "The person sent to follow Prince Rong has reported back that Prince Rong did not return to the palace after entering the city, but went directly to Hua Man Lou."

If he was in the mood to go to a brothel for fun, his mood should not be bad enough to kill someone.

Yan Muxi struggled to get up from the bed, "Call Dongyu back, let's go to the brothel!"

Huamanlou is located on West Street in the north city. People who come and go are either rich or noble. It is one of the largest places for spending money in Luodu City.

As the lights came on, in the largest private room in Huamanlou, there were melodious music and graceful dancing. A group of dandy young men embraced beauties and toasted to each other, looking very happy.

Prince Rong leaned on the soft chair and drank the wine that the courtesan Dieyu fed to his lips.

"Life is short, and there is nothing that can't be solved by a glass of wine. After being served tenderly and attentively by me for such a long time, are you feeling better, Prince?" Dieyu's voice was like that of an oriole, and her soft and sweet voice was extremely pleasant to the ears.

Prince Rong just glanced at her and said coldly: "Even if you have a mouth, you don't have to say anything!"

"Young Master, someone is looking for you outside!" Jixiang came in and reported.
