The fake daughter of a fallen ghost is reborn

When the song ends, everything becomes silent.

"it is good!"

The sudden applause broke the silence after the end of the passionate music.

Just hearing the slightly magnetic voice with a bit of joy, Prince Gong Gu Shichong clapped his hands and sighed: "Miss Xue's piano skills are superb. I'm afraid no one in the whole Huajing can match her."

Everyone knew that Xue Zhiyi and Prince Gong were engaged. Because of this relationship, people around them began to whisper to each other, their voices filled with gossip.

Xue Zhentong, who was beside Prince Gong, saw this and hurriedly said in a flattering tone, "It's just some idle girls having fun. It's a blessing for Zhiyi to catch the eye of His Highness."

Hearing the compliment, Xue Zhiyi stood up and walked towards the octagonal pavilion. She stood outside the pavilion and bowed without arrogance or servility: "Your Highness, thank you for your compliments. I am just a humble servant with a trivial skill."

Looking at all this, Fu Rongxin couldn't help but sneer: If Xue Zhiyi was also reborn like her, then what is she doing now? Practicing piano skills to seduce Prince Gong?

If this is true... Fu Rongxin's mouth curled up with a hint of sarcasm: If this is true, then Xue Zhiyi is not to be feared at all, he is still as stupid as in his previous life, extremely stupid!

There was a smile in Gu Shichong's eyes, but that smile did not look like approval. Instead, it was as if he was looking at something interesting.

"Being able to play Mingluan like this is already very outstanding. It must have taken a lot of hard work. I wonder how long Miss Xue San practiced this piece before this banquet?"

Xue Zhiyi's eyebrows jumped when he heard this: What is Gu Shichong thinking? Could it be that he thinks she played this song to show off in front of him? How self-righteous is this man?

But...it would be good if he could think this way.

Xue Zhiyi had a dignified demeanor and a warm smile, and seemed not to understand the meaning of Prince Gong's words.

"I just played it a few times everyday and happened to know this tune."

"Oh?" Gu Shichong looked at her. "According to what Miss Xue San said, you should know quite a few songs. But why is it that the poem you drew on the flower lot talks about the phoenix and the phoenix, and the emphasis is on the phoenix rather than the phoenix, but you only played the phoenix. Isn't that a bit far-fetched?"

What this means is that in order to stand out at his sister's wedding banquet, Xue Zhiyi practiced hard to create an extremely eye-catching piece of music, and was determined to play it even if it was irrelevant to the theme.

This time, his words clearly contained a hint of difficulty, and the discussions among the people around him became even louder: Could it be that Prince Gong is not satisfied with his fiancée?

If Xue Zhiyi couldn't save face today, she would probably become the laughing stock of the entire Huajing.

Thinking of this, Fu Rongxin became more and more proud.

In fact, in her previous life, when she was affectionate with Prince Gong, she had heard him say that if he had not wanted to form an alliance with the Xue family and win over the Minister of Revenue, he would not have married such a mediocre woman as his principal wife.

As expected, a pheasant is a pheasant and can never become a phoenix. Whether in his past life or this life, Xue Zhiyi is just a clown.

Before Xue Zhiyi could say anything, Xue Zhentong quickly jumped out to smooth things over: "Zhiyi is rude and ignorant, and has disturbed Your Highness's interest. I will teach her a lesson and make sure she never dares to do it again!"

Xue Zhentong usually didn't care much about this daughter who was not his biological daughter. He just thought of her as an extra mouth to feed, but he would not allow Xue Zhiyi to embarrass him in public.

Neither Xue Zhiyi nor Gu Shichong showed any reaction to Xue Zhentong's words.

Xue Zhiyi remained calm and oblivious to the discussions around him.

"Your Highness, in this flower lot, the phoenix and the phoenix are side by side, with no distinction between high and low. Since it is OK to play the phoenix, I think it is OK to play the phoenix as well."

“But when the phoenix and the phoenix are listed together, the phoenix is ​​noble, and the phoenix is ​​second. If we follow the common thinking, we usually choose the phoenix as the theme, such as the song "Phoenix Seeks the Phoenix". Anyone who can play the zither can play it a bit. However, if you don’t have superb zither skills, it is difficult to play a song like "Phoenix Seeks the Phoenix" well.”

Seeing that Xue Zhiyi wanted to speak, Xue Zhentong quickly scolded him: "Zhiyi, don't be rude! Get out of here!"

Upon hearing this, Prince Gong sneered impatiently: "How can Lord Xue issue orders while I am still here?"

Sweat dripped down Xue Zhentong's forehead. He bowed his body and pleaded guilty: "Your Majesty...Your Majesty dare not."

Finally, Xue Zhentong shut up. Gu Shichong looked at Xue Zhiyi and raised his eyebrows slightly: "Continue."

Xue Zhiyi said: "I think the Luan bird is not inferior to the Phoenix. The Luan bird is also a divine bird that can soar into the sky and fly straight up. That is why I liked it very much when I was young, so I specially learned the song "Ming Luan"."

After that, she smiled slightly, but suddenly changed the subject: "So this minister has only learned the music scores that I like, and I am only familiar with these one or two songs. In fact, this minister has not learned many songs. For example, the song "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix" that Your Highness mentioned, this minister really does not know it. As the saying goes, people learn things at different times, and they specialize in different skills. This minister is not ashamed of this."

After listening to Xue Zhiyi's words, Gu Shichong was slightly stunned: "What a clever mouth."

"My daughter dare not."

This was probably the first time that Gu Shichong looked at his fiancée so carefully. He saw that she was dignified, knew when to move, and was neither humble nor arrogant. She did not fawn on him because of his status, nor was she rude or annoying.

Although she is not stunning at first glance, her words and actions are just right, and she has a face that is very comfortable to look at.

The emotions in Gu Shichong's eyes were also undergoing subtle changes.

"You said you can't play 'Phoenix Seeks the Phoenix'."

"Your Highness, I don't know how to do that."

"The Phoenix Seeks the Phoenix" is the most common piece of music in the musical instrument score. Anyone who knows how to play the musical instrument can play a few lines of it, but Xue Zhiyi can't.

Unexpectedly, Xue Zhiyi suddenly smiled and said, "It is my poor skills that have disturbed your highness's interest, but I know someone whose performance of "Phoenix Seeking the Phoenix" is so exquisite that it can be described as "Jade Shattering at Kunshan Mountain and Lotus Weeping at Dew". If we can ask her to play it, I'm sure it will be amazing."

After she said that, Gu Shichong became interested: "I wonder if the person Miss Xue San mentioned is in this garden now?"

Fu Rongxin watched all this, but felt inexplicably uneasy.

As expected, Xue Zhiyi then said, "This is my cousin, Fu Rongxin from Linzhou."

"Who is Fu Rongxin? Who is she?" someone asked carefully.

Before Fu Rongxin could react, she saw Xue Zhiyi walking towards her with a smile on his face.

Under everyone's gaze, Xue Zhiyi held her hand and said, "Your Highness, this is the one. My cousin is known as the most beautiful woman in Linzhou and the most talented woman in Linzhou. She is an excellent zither player, especially the song "Phoenix Seeking the Phoenix", which makes people feel like the cry of a phoenix."

Fu Rong swallowed her words: She didn’t understand what Xue Zhiyi was up to.

At this time, people around began to discuss carefully.

"The most beautiful woman in Linzhou, the most talented woman in Linzhou, it turns out to be her! I have heard of her name before."

"This appearance is indeed first-class beauty, but it can't be called the best, right?"

"What do you know? Linzhou is not Huajing. The appearance of the most beautiful woman in Linzhou would naturally appear ordinary in Huajing. It's not surprising."

"It's not that common, is it? Are you jealous of her?"

"Why would I be jealous of her? She is obviously a girl from a small family. If you let her stand next to the most beautiful woman in Huajing, you will see the truth!"

Gu Shichong's gaze also fell on Fu Rongxin. At just one glance, Xue Zhiyi clearly saw a gleam in his eyes.

It was obvious that he was stunned by Fu Rongxin's appearance at just one glance.

"Zhiyi, what are you doing? Stop messing around!"

Fu Ling was also confused.

She stared at Xue Zhiyi in a daze, always feeling that this fake with ill intentions would do something to her precious daughter. At this moment, she wished she could grab Fu Rongxin to her side and protect her.

But Xue Zhiyi smiled slightly, revealing a bit of innocence: "Mother, I just think that my cousin's piano skills are really unique, a thousand times better than mine. It would be a pity if everyone missed my cousin's piano because of my little tricks today."

Now that everyone was watching, Fu Rongxin couldn't shake off Xue Zhiyi's hand in public, so she could only bow respectfully to Gu Shichong and say, "Your servant Fu Rongxin greets His Royal Highness Prince Gong."
