After hearing this, the Queen Mother smiled and said: "Princess Yun is really smart and her explanation is very accurate."

"Wow, Xiao Wan'er is so smart!" Gao Yeyun clapped his hands beside him.

Wen Wan looked at Gao Yeyun with a sweet smile.

Gao Yeyun squeezed Wen Wan's hand to express his love for her.

The Queen Mother is an elderly person. Seeing the small interaction between Wen Wan and Gao Yeyun, she feels that the love between young people is precious and feels happy in her heart.

"What Princess Yun means is what the Ai family means. The Ai family also thinks that the handkerchief of Ye Xiaoxu, the daughter of General Ye, is the best embroidered."

The Queen Mother looked at the handkerchief carefully and smiled.

"Your Majesty, I still have a question."

Wen Qing glanced at Wen Wan hatefully and said.

"Oh? You still have any questions, but it doesn't matter." said the Queen Mother.

"Your Majesty, this is a test of embroidery skills. I think this is a question, so I should focus more on embroidery skills rather than the meaning of the question. I wonder if Your Majesty thinks this idea is correct?"

Wen Qing couldn't stand her own failure, and Ye Xiaoxu had clearly surpassed herself now.

How could she bear it?

The Queen Mother thought for a moment and asked the people around her, "I wonder what the concubines think?"

The Queen said: "There is nothing wrong with this. Originally, the Queen Mother said that we should test everyone's knitting skills. Now Miss Wen's words also make sense."

The Queen Mother thought for a moment and said, "Let's see how the embroidery skills of General Ye's daughter compare to Miss Wen's?"

After saying that, the father-in-law took two pieces of embroidery and presented them to the concubines and princesses present.

After taking a closer look, the Queen Mother said: "I wonder what you think of these two handkerchiefs?"

"Your Majesty, I am ignorant. It seems that these two handkerchiefs are almost the same."

A concubine stood up and said.

"Since you put it like that, it's really hard to make a judgment." The Queen Mother looked at the two handkerchiefs worriedly.

Seeing this, Wen Wan knew that most of these concubines did not want to participate or offend anyone, so he said: "Queen Mother, I have an idea."

"Oh? Tell me."

"Perhaps there are still some people who are still in trouble. Let me tell you, it would be better for everyone to write a note. If there is someone in mind who is good, write down their name. The one with more votes will win. Do you think it is good or not?

?”

Wen Wan said.

The Queen Mother nodded with satisfaction, knowing that many people did not mean what they said, and she also felt that Wen Wan's method was very good, so she said: "In that case, I will do as you say."

Everyone wrote a note respectively, and after submitting it, the father-in-law began to count.

Wen Qing believed that her embroidery skills were exquisite and she would never lose to Ye Xiaoxu, and her face was full of pride.

After the father-in-law counted, he said: "Queen Mother, this is a coincidence, but the votes of the two girls are the same."

Wen Wan smiled and said: "Queen Mother, my method won't work."

"I don't blame you. It seems that both of them are very good embroidery workers. It's not a bad idea to be tied for first place. There will be other demonstrations next, let's see how they perform."

The Queen Mother smiled and looked kind-hearted.

"Thank you, Queen Mother." Ye Xiaoxu and Wen Qing both saluted and thanked them.

Then, the Queen Mother selected several women with good embroidery skills to participate in the third round.

Wen Qing took advantage of everyone's break and whispered to Ye Xiaoxu: "Humph, now we are on the same level, and I won't let you go next!"

After hearing this, Ye Xiaoxu felt that Wen Qing and Wen Wan's temperaments were really very different, because he said: "Miss Wen, we are all here to attend the Splendid Banquet, and we are just relying on our own abilities. If it were you

I won't say anything if I can come out on top, it's just because of my own bad luck. But, you are treating me like this now, it seems like you have no mind."

Being snatched away by Ye Xiaoxu, Wen Qing only felt angry and said sarcastically: "Humph, you are quite generous, so why are you backing away from Wen Wan and the prince?"

Ye Xiaoxu was a woman in a deep boudoir and had never been humiliated like this before. But after all, it was at the Splendid Banquet, with so many royal family members present, so Ye Xiaoxu had no choice but to endure it and not care about it.

Seeing that she didn't dare to reply, Wen Qing felt even more proud.

Soon, the father-in-law announced the test questions for the third round.

"The test question this time is for all the girls to play a piece of piano."

Everyone was whispering, feeling that the Queen Mother didn't mean much to the test questions this time.

Wen Qing was proud that her piano skills were among the best. She had been taught by a dedicated master since she was a child. In addition, Wen Qing was able to endure hardships and gained a lot.

The little eunuchs moved the piano up, and the Queen Mother said: "This piano is called Green Qi. It has a melodious tone, a wide range, and a long lasting sound. You can play it on this piano!"

All the girls performed well in this round, but nothing outstanding.

Soon it was Wen Qing's turn.

Wen Qing was wearing a pink palace dress, made of fine silk with dark floral patterns. There were several gorgeous gemstones on her hair, making her look extremely noble.

Sitting next to the elegant guqin in such an outfit seems a bit inappropriate.

Wen Qing was very satisfied with her own outfit and felt that it was a symbol of nobility.

Gao Yeyun glanced at Wen Qing and said to Wen Wan: "Although your sister's face is the same as yours, in my opinion, why is it so different?"

"But are you talking nonsense again? We all look the same, so what's the difference?" Wen Qing said with a smile, looking at Wen Qing playing the piano, she felt a little noble.

"I think you are more beautiful. You always have a temperament that attracts me. I don't know why." Gao Yeyun told the truth.

For some reason, even though Wen Qing's face was the same as Wen Wan's, he could always tell the difference between the two at a glance. Maybe it was love.

Wen Wan smiled and said, "Whether what you say is true or not, I still benefit from your complimenting me like this."

Gao Yeyun leaned against Wen Wan, like a clinging child.

Wen Wan let him go and listened quietly to Wen Qing's playing.

It has to be said that Wen Qing's piano skills are quite good and she is very skilled in technique, but the sound lacks a little bit of emotion.

Gao Yejing asked quietly: "Second sister-in-law, how do you think your sister plays?"

"How can King Jing ask me? In terms of music, you are the best, how can I know?" Wen Wan smiled. If Gao Yejing were in modern times, he would be a top musician at least.

"If I tell the truth, I hope my second sister-in-law won't mind." Gao Yejing thought, after all, Wen Qing is still Wen Wan's sister, and I'm afraid it would be a bit inappropriate to comment rashly.

"It doesn't matter. My relationship with my sister is very bad. If you could scold me a few times, I would be relieved." Wen Wan said with a smile.

Seeing that Wen Wan didn't take Wen Qing seriously, Gao Yejing said, "Actually, Wen Qing's playing skills are quite good."

"Of course. After all, I have learned to play the piano from my master since I was a child. If my technique is not good, it will be in vain."

Wen Wan recalled the origin of Wen Qing's piano learning when he was a child. He thought that at that time, Wen Qing resented the original owner.

Because the original owner was praised by her master for learning the piano when she was a child, Wen Qing was not convinced and just put in more effort until the master praised her piano skills as surpassing the original owner.

"That's true. It's just that Wen Qing's piano sound lacks a lot of emotion, and she can't play the sound the piano should have."

After Gao Yejing tasted it carefully, he said.

Wen Qing is a ruthless person. How can a ruthless person play a loving note?

Wen Wan smiled and said, "Ah Jing's ears are better."

"Second sister-in-law is laughing."

It was just a song, and everyone applauded.

The queen said: "I didn't expect Miss Wen Er's piano skills to be so extraordinary, but she is quite good."

"Well, it just seems that I haven't played the piano sound to the extreme yet, but it is rare." The Queen Mother said lightly.

This piano was given to her by the late emperor. She loved it very much, so naturally she attached great importance to it.

"Thank you, Queen Mother, for your compliments." Wen Qing bowed and bowed, then stepped aside.

"The next person to play is General Ye's daughter, Ye Xiaoxu." The father-in-law said loudly.

After hearing this, Ye Xiaoxu stepped forward and said, "My maid, Ye Xiaoxu, has made a fool of herself in front of the Queen Mother."

After saying that, he sat in front of the guqin.

Ye Xiaoxu's delicate green hands gently brushed the strings, as if asking for the meaning of the piano.

Among the chess, calligraphy and painting, the qin is at the top of the list. Its purity and elegance demonstrate the arrogance of the literati and their extraordinary way of life.

Therefore, when playing the piano, your mentality is also very important.

If you play with a calm heart, you can be in harmony with the sound of the piano.

The exciting notes overflowed one by one. At such a banquet, Ye Xiaoxu did not choose lively and festive piano music, but chose to play "Flowing Water".

The art of folk music is far-reaching, like vast mountains and surging water.

Everyone present was moved by the ethereal sound of the piano.

The slender hand caressed the piano, and as the fingers rose and fell, the sound of the piano was as light and crisp as a wind chime, sonorous and powerful as if struck on a rock, and powerful and powerful as a bell.
