Quick Wear: Host, please be more restrained

Chapter 73: Farming Cute Baby Beautiful Girl 23

“Oh? I didn’t know that. It turns out that I grew up in the wilderness…” The Queen’s beautiful facial features showed a look of surprise.

They are all thousand-year-old foxes, why are they playing Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio with her? Ye Qiao remained silent. She wanted to see what Shen Xinglin was up to, and what the Queen was up to.

"Your Majesty, my sister has been unrestrained since she was young. If you want to see it, Xinglin is willing to play a song for you." Shen Xinglin acted like he was doing something for Ye Qiao. He seemed to be very generous, but in fact, his words and deeds were trying to curb Ye Qiao's rustic atmosphere.

Which of the noble ladies present here is not a shrewd person? They are all tired of seeing such tricks at home, but Ye Qiao just sat there calmly without a trace of irritation, while Shen Xinglin was like a peacock spreading its tail, which was a bit vulgar.

Shen Xinglin looked around. Ye Qiao didn't say a word, but he understood in his heart. So what if she was Miss Zhen? She grew up in the countryside, while she was proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting since she was a child.

"Oh? What are you doing, elder sister?" A deep and pleasant voice came.

The man was dressed in ink-colored clothes with thin gold lines hidden in them. The plain black clothes showed a colorful black, with a very beautiful jawline and colorful facial features. He looked very heroic. It was Ling Yimo.

There were several handsome men beside him. Ye Qiao looked at them from afar and unexpectedly met Xie Yanchu again. Unlike Ling Yimo, he was wearing a moon-white robe embroidered with emerald green bamboo. With his jade-like facial features, he had a handsome temperament and looked like a gentleman.

The arrival of several noble gentlemen brought the banquet to a climax instantly, and the noble ladies next to them began to discuss in a low voice.

"General Ling, and Young Marquis Xie, we didn't expect that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is here too..." The ladies discussed in low voices.

Ye Qiao had excellent hearing. He looked at Xie Yanchu. When he saw him as a child, he was dressed like a nobleman. Even after being tortured by the proprietress of the black shop, he could not hide his noble aura. Unexpectedly, he turned out to be the son of the eldest princess.

She had heard that the eldest princess and the current emperor were brothers from the same mother and had a very good relationship. Her husband was also a top scholar in the imperial examination. There were no concubines in the princess's mansion. Many women in the capital envied his life and wanted to marry Marquis Xie.

The Queen Mother, who was in a high position, brushed her sleeves with her hands painted with red kohl, and a hint of interest flashed across her eyes. He came so soon, it seemed that her younger brother was a little serious.

Ling Yimo naturally understood his sister. Since he was an old man who had a son, his sister had loved to tease him since childhood. He did not hide his feelings for Ye Qiao, so when he heard about the banquet, he hurried over.

"Why are you standing there? Prepare a banquet for the gentlemen." The queen spoke in a light tone, as if she didn't receive Ling Yimo's threatening and warning look at all.

Shen Xinglin also saw the man in bright yellow clothes at first sight. His brother was the crown prince. The current queen was in the limelight but had no children, so the third prince born to the imperial concubine was named the crown prince.

"You've come just in time, the eldest lady of the Shen family. Oh, look at my memory, now it's the second lady's turn, and she's about to perform her talent!" The Queen had beautiful facial features, but the words she spoke were like arrows, piercing Shen Xinglin's heart again and again.

Everyone in the capital city knows that if Ye Qiao is just the missing daughter who has returned, why is she ranked as the eldest daughter? Although it is not stated explicitly, everyone is a smart person, and Shen Xinglin's identity cannot be hidden.

The woman in goose yellow clothes bit her lower lip tightly. So what if she is the second lady? One day, she will make everyone kneel down and look at her.

Xie Yanchu glanced at Shen Xinglin with her gentle eyes. The viciousness and cruelty in the woman's eyes did not have time to be restrained. She couldn't help but feel her heart skip a beat when she was seen through everything. Fortunately, Xie Yanchu withdrew his gaze as if he had seen nothing.

Shen Xinglin leaned forward slightly, walked gracefully to the center of the stage, her sleeves fluttering in the wind, and leaned over the guzheng. The music flowed like spring water. She really had an excellent memory. People also quieted down and silently listened to this song as clear as a mountain spring.

Ye Qiao was listening to the music out of boredom. The singer was indeed very skilled, but it was a pity that he showed off too much, and she could vaguely hear a few wrong notes?

As soon as Ling Yimo arrived at the banquet, he couldn't take his eyes off Ye Qiao. She looked so beautiful in what she was wearing today. She looked like a fairy from heaven, but also had the elegance and grace of a noble lady. What could he do? He liked this woman more and more.

The Queen Mother turned slightly and saw her silly brother staring at the girl without blinking. She laughed in her heart, looking at what her silly brother has become.

When the song ended, Shen Xinglin stood up and leaned forward slightly. The Queen was the host after all, so she said leisurely, "Second Miss of the Shen Mansion, you are indeed very skilled. I will give you the pair of jade ruyi that I got some time ago."

Shen Xinglin was delighted and couldn't wait to look at Xie Ye. The man who usually obeyed him in everything was now looking down, thinking about something, and did not respond to her furtive glances.

Xie Ye squinted his eyes and looked at the banquet. Everyone thought that he was the crown prince and the throne was a sure thing, but only he knew how much his father loved the woman on the high platform.

His position as the crown prince was just a stopgap measure because the woman did not want to have children. He wanted to win over the Shen family from the beginning, but who knew that a real daughter would appear in the Shen family now. He had to make some careful plans.

"Xinglin thanks the Queen, but Xinglin and my sister have a very good relationship. I wonder if you can share some of the reward with my sister." Shen Xinglin poked Ye Qiao unwillingly.

Ye Qiao was so angry that she almost laughed. Why did he always poke her? She just wanted to eat something quietly.

“This… He didn’t perform anything, but he was rewarded. Ye Qiao is so lucky to have such a sister.” The voice of the simple-minded young lady next to him was particularly conspicuous in the quiet occasion.

Ye Qiao was really annoyed, but she still stood up lazily, "The Queen is in such a good mood, and I cannot ruin her mood. I don't accept rewards without merit. I don't have any talent, so I will play a song for her."

The woman was wearing a layered white gauze skirt, and her face was like a gorgeous rose as she walked. With her cool yet beautiful face, Ling Yimo felt that she was walking in his heart.

Seeing that Ye Qiao was very confident, he did not interrupt and Ye Qiao walked to the guzheng.

She played the instrument with her bare hands and sporadic music came out. Seeing that she was not very skilled, everyone sneered in their hearts, thinking that she might as well be a dove, which at least would not be as embarrassing as it is now.

Shen Xinglin also watched Ye Qiao's behavior and curled the corners of his mouth. So what if she was a real daughter? She was still not as good as her.

However, before everyone could react, a string of skillful and pleasant notes poured out, and it was like an empty valley in the mountains, making people feel like they were strolling on a path at the foot of the mountain.

Suddenly the tone quickly quickened, and everyone's heart tightened. The entire tone changed, no longer leisurely and leisurely, but transformed into a solemn and dignified battlefield. The fierce and tragic scene of the battle between the two sides seemed to be vivid in their minds.

Everyone's heart was lifted along with the tune, and they were all looking forward to victory in this war. However, as time went on, the tune became deeper and more mournful, as if they had arrived at the sadness of a battlefield where no one survived.

Many noble ladies at the banquet had tears in their eyes when they heard the music. The sun was setting over the long river, but the loneliness of only one person was left in the whole world, and all of it was poured out in the melody.
