The concubine escaped and cried when she met the prince again

After she finished speaking, she seemed to remember something, looked at Shen Ruolan and said sympathetically: "Wanxi, I know you are not good at music, chess, calligraphy and painting. How about you cook a delicious dish for everyone, so that people won't say that I won unfairly later."

Shen Ruolan said to her expressionlessly: "No need, since Miss Lan is playing the piano, Wanxi will accompany you."

After saying this, she looked at the palace maid beside her and smiled, "Sister, could you please help me change the harp?"

She was not at ease with things that Lan Shurong had used.

Seeing Shen Ruolan was very polite, the maid also bowed politely and said, "Concubine Lan, wait a moment."

After she finished speaking, she quickly helped Shen Ruolan change the piano.

Shen Ruolan walked to the piano table and sat down. She first tried to tune the strings. After confirming that there was no problem, she was silent for a moment, and then she chose a song called Laughing in the Red Dust sung by Chen Shuhua and said to everyone, "I will sing a song called Laughing in the Red Dust for everyone today. I hope you like it."

As she finished speaking, she began to stroke the strings of the zither and sang along with the sound of the zither, "The world is so ridiculous, infatuation is the most boring, it's ok to be arrogant, this life is not over, but my heart is no longer disturbed, I just want to exchange it for half a lifetime of freedom..."

The moment Shen Ruolan's singing sounded, everyone present was stunned. They originally thought that Miss Lan's piano skills were already very good, but they didn't expect that Lan Wanxi's piano skills and singing were even better.

In particular, her lyrics are so well written, every sentence is free and easy, but behind them is the bitterness of having gone through so many hardships. One can imagine what kind of life she has lived in the Prime Minister's Mansion over the years.

Lan Shurong was instantly panicked when she heard Lan Wanxi's singing. She looked at the singer in disbelief and muttered to herself, "Impossible. She, Lan Wanxi, has never learned to sing the piano. She is definitely not Lan Wanxi."

Mrs. Lan also looked unhappy, but seeing her daughter so out of control, she quickly scolded her in a low voice: "Rong'er, your father is already very unhappy, don't make trouble again."

Lan Shurong looked at her mother with grievance on her face and said, "Mom, I..."

Mrs. Lan shook her head at her daughter and said, "Don't say anything. Just wait and see what happens."

Lan Shurong nodded to her mother with reluctance on her face.

Qin Zhen saw that Shen Ruolan not only had the medical skills to bring the dead back to life, but was also an excellent musician and singer. He admired her very much. He looked up and saw Jiang Dichen staring at Shen Ruolan thoughtfully. He couldn't help but pout at him. Such a talented woman, yet he made her his concubine. Sooner or later, he would regret it.

Qin Zhen's behavior did not escape Jiang Dichen's eyes, but he was not interested in him now. He was just wondering how many things Lan Wanxi was hiding from him?

Also, her music seems free and easy, but it is actually full of sadness. Is this for Prime Minister Lan, or is it her attitude towards herself?

A series of doubts made Jiang Dichen recall the days he spent with Lan Wanxi. It seemed that since her miscarriage, her attitude towards him had changed. She became cold and less talkative. Thinking of this, he somehow felt very uncomfortable.

Just when he wanted to continue listening to Shen Ruolan's music, the piano and her singing suddenly stopped, leaving him feeling unsatisfied. However, when he thought that this was her voice and attitude towards him, his mood suddenly became bad.

After Shen Ruolan finished her song, she stood up and bowed to everyone, saying, "I am very grateful to all the uncles, aunts, brothers and sisters present for listening. If you like Wanxi's songs, please support Wanxi. Wanxi will be very grateful."

After Shen Ruolan finished speaking, she bowed deeply to everyone.

The people who were still immersed in Lan Shen Ruolan's song reacted after hearing her words. Many of them praised her, "Concubine Lan, your singing voice is so beautiful, like the sound of nature, which makes people intoxicated. Can you sing it again for everyone?"

"Yes, yes, yes, Concubine Lan, sing it again." The people present hurriedly echoed and shouted.

The emperor and empress above were also shocked by Shen Ruolan's singing. They had never imagined that this lowly concubine's daughter had such talent.

After listening to everyone's suggestions, the emperor looked at Shen Ruolan with some anticipation. He also wanted to listen to it a few more times. The song was really beautiful. Although it was a little sad, it did not affect his liking for it at all.

After Shen Ruolan listened to everyone's suggestions, she smiled and said, "Thank you for your love, but I'm really sorry. I've already said that I will only play it once tonight."

After she finished speaking, she looked at the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, Miss Lan and I have finished the competition. Please notarize it for us."

After the emperor heard Shen Ruolan's words, he hesitated for a moment, nodded to her, looked at the ministers present and said, "My dear ministers, for the sake of fairness, I will give you the right to choose. Each of you has only one choice. If you like Concubine Lan, please raise one chopstick, and if you like Miss Lan, please raise two chopsticks."

As the emperor finished speaking, everyone present raised a chopstick instantly. Only a few who had a good relationship with the Prime Minister's Mansion raised two chopsticks. This made Lan Shurong almost faint from anger. How proud she was just now, how embarrassed she felt now.

The eunuch beside the emperor glanced down and told the emperor truthfully: "Your Majesty, 70% use one chopstick and 30% use two chopsticks."

The emperor nodded to the eunuch and said to Shen Ruolan and Lan Shurong below: "I declare that Concubine Lan is the winner of this competition."

The moment the emperor finished speaking, Lan Shurong could not bear the shock and fainted completely.

Prime Minister Lan took the opportunity to say, "Your Majesty, my daughter is not feeling well. I will take her with me first."

Prime Minister Lan's intuition told him that Shen Ruolan would definitely not be looking for good things, so he took the opportunity to slip away.

Shen Ruolan knew what Prime Minister Lan was thinking. She sneered in her heart and said before the emperor could speak: "Prime Minister Lan, don't forget that you just agreed to my condition."

Prime Minister Lan glared at Shen Ruolan and deliberately said to her in a fatherly tone: "Xi'er, father knows that you feel wronged, but you and Rong'er are sisters after all, so please forgive her when you can."

After Shen Ruolan heard what Prime Minister Lan said, she pretended to be sad and said, "Prime Minister, I have been doing my duty since I entered the palace. It was the eldest lady who insisted on making me look bad and forced me to deal with it. How come it is my fault now? They are both your daughters, why are you so partial to them?"

After Shen Ruolan finished speaking, Qin Zhen quickly echoed, "That's right. We all watched what happened tonight. Prime Minister Lan's family bullied Concubine Lan in front of so many people. Behind the scenes, you can imagine how Concubine Lan's life is."
