When the prince is reborn, he will only hit me if he doesn't hit the wall!

Xu Mingxi invited several young ladies to discuss piano music at Bixiao Tower.

There are He Yunyin, Zhou Qiong'er, the legitimate daughter of the Minister of Revenue, Murong Xue, the legitimate daughter of the Minister of Dali Temple, and others.

Xu Mingxi is known as the most beautiful woman in Kyoto. Today, she is wearing a cherry-colored Sichuan embroidery cross-collared wide-sleeved top, with a faint moon-white lining, and a rouge-colored folded skirt. A silk ribbon of the same color is wrapped around her waist to make double-ear knot decorations.

It makes her look even more charming and bright.

She exchanged a few pleasantries with the ladies and then began to get down to business.

"Today I invite you all to come together for the Queen Mother's 'Autumn Appreciation Banquet' in a few days. I recently composed a piece of music, and I would like to invite you to appreciate it and make up for the shortcomings."

The noble ladies looked at each other, and there was a hint of surprise in each of their eyes.

In theory, the music specially composed for the "Autumn Appreciation Banquet" is generally intended to be able to show off one's talent and win the first prize on that day. No matter who you are, you all want to be that unique, praiseworthy and enviable talent.

Therefore, the music composed by noble ladies is kept private and rarely shared with others.

Xu Mingxi's move really surprised the ladies.

Everyone didn't know that she was just overconfident and wanted to show off in advance that her piano music was unique. Even if she let everyone know in advance, it would be difficult to surpass her, so she wanted to make them give up.

I really want to gather ideas and improve my piano music, and I want to communicate frankly.

Not understanding what she meant, everyone remained silent.

Xu Mingxi had anticipated the current situation and was not embarrassed. She said frankly: "Don't mind me, I just want to take this opportunity to exchange ideas with you ladies. Everyone at the Autumn Appreciation Banquet must have their own strengths. I am not good at zither music, so I will not be the first in zither music.

I just wanted to take this opportunity to ask you for some advice so that I won’t be too embarrassed on that day.”

When everyone heard this, they all praised: "Miss Xu is really a person of good nature. It is us who are mean-spirited. If Miss Xu has any doubts, even though we are not as good as the piano master, we will definitely do our best."

"That's right, Sister Xu, you are the most frank person I have ever met." Although He Yunyin was not very proficient in playing the piano, she also echoed.

"We are both from the Xu Mansion. Sister Xu, you are much better than Xu Xinyue. She never dares to attend this kind of banquet. The Queen Mother's Autumn Appreciation Banquet is held every year, but she has only been there a few times."

She knew very well that the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

She hates Xu Xinyue, and Xu Mingxi probably doesn't like Xu Xinyue very much either, so they are "allies".

There's nothing wrong with trying to bring them closer by belittling their common enemy.

He Yunyin thought so, but she didn't know that Xu Xinyue was one of Xu Mingxi's pains. Xu Mingxi had no intention of explaining to her and just smiled awkwardly.

Zhou Qiong'er had a good impression of Xu Mingxi since the last Mid-Autumn Festival banquet when she confronted her half-sister Zhou Lu'er. She thought this invitation was an opportunity to get to know her and was interested in chatting with her: "Women like Miss Xu are rare in the world."

"Yes, yes!" Murong Xue was simple-minded and responded casually.

Everyone was discussing the matter. After Xu Mingxi finished playing his music, everyone expressed their opinions:

"I feel like this is a little lacking. How about playing it like this..."

"I think it still lacks some artistic conception, why not..."

"Miss Xu, do you think this is okay?"

Everyone started playing one by one, and under Xu Mingxi's deliberate guidance, the young ladies worked together and finally completed the music score in her memory.

In fact, this music score is exactly the same as the piano music that was modified after the cooperation of all the noble ladies.

Before coming to today's gathering, Xu Mingxi specially rewrote several melodies, making them sound a bit imperfect.

The purpose is to allow all the ladies to participate in the adjustments.

At the "Autumn Appreciation Banquet", this song will surely leave a deep impression on all the ladies.

Xu Mingxi thought of her plan, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously raised:

Xu Baiyu, when the time comes, I will watch your show.

A party, full of laughter and joy, both the guests and the hosts had a great time.

Xu Mingxi was really looking forward to the day of the "Autumn Appreciation Banquet".

Here, under the guidance of the invited zither teacher Aunt Hu, Xu Baiyu played the "Autumn River Song" composed specifically for her more and more proficiently.

Aunt Hu is an actress in her thirties.

When he was young, he worked as a musician in the palace and was considered a celebrity in Kyoto.

She has a gentle temperament and good looks.

“This piece of music is specially composed for you, Miss. It can bring out your strengths to the fullest, and the mood is long when playing.

It will definitely make the young lady shine at the banquet."

Xu Baiyu stood up and bowed, thanking her: "If this is true, I will never forget the kindness of my aunt."

"I don't deserve it. It's just that we are destined to be together. As long as Miss Xu practices hard, there won't be any problem."

These words seemed to give Xu Baiyu a reassurance. After hearing Aunt Hu say this, she felt a lot more at ease.

Xu Baiyu's piano skills were not weak to begin with, and with careful instruction, they now sound even better than before.

In order to ensure that this piano piece would become a hit, she was willing to "lower her status" and come to Lingyue Pavilion to practice.

He wasn't afraid of others, but he didn't want Xu Mingxi to hear it.

Lingyue Pavilion is filled with melodious music from strings and orchestras every day, so it is not surprising to hear a piano piece occasionally.

Yang knew about her actions, but she cursed her in her heart as a little bitch who was not worthy of being in public. However, she could do nothing and could only let her go.

After several days, today is Xu Baiyu's last day to study here.

She returned to the Xu Mansion when the sky was filled with evening glow, and ran into Xu Mingxi on the way back to Hanxing Courtyard.

The evening breeze was blowing, and the autumn wind was swirling with the withered and yellow fallen leaves, bringing a little chill.

Both of them saw each other, and when they were only a few steps away from each other, they stopped at the same time and stood facing each other. When their eyes met, fireworks flew, and the air was filled with strong competition and hostility.

They were all planning how to discredit the other party at the "Autumn Appreciation Banquet".

"Where has my sister been? Why did she come back so late?"

Xu Mingxi asked knowingly.

"Don't worry about that, sister. I'm alone now and I'm worried. It's understandable that I can go out for a walk to relieve my worries."

Xu Baiyu didn't want to talk to her any more: "If there's nothing else, then I'll go back first."

She passed by Xu Mingxi. Xu Mingxi put away his hostile gaze, restored his indifferent expression, and walked straight in the opposite direction of her without saying a word.

On the way to Lizhou, Qin Yuechuan and his party rested at the post station.

It was late at night, but Qin Yuechuan still hadn't fallen asleep.

Under the warm yellow candlelight, he reviewed various memorials and secret reports.

Ever since he learned the "truth", he had difficulty sleeping.

No, to be exact, it's a restless feeling.

Whenever I dream, the sad face of Xu Xinyue from my previous life always appears.

If she roared, complained, vented, and threw things, he might feel better. However, Xu Xinyue in his dreams never said a word. She just stood there calmly and coldly.

There was a pale white halo surrounding her.

She seemed unable to see him, but seemed to always be looking at somewhere through his body.

Those beautiful, gentle almond-shaped eyes, like a sky full of stars, were dim and filled with sadness.
