He favored his concubine and I cut off my wealth. Everyone in the mansion was in a panic.

Shen Qing pinched the half-eaten horseshoe cake and looked at it with a leisurely expression. She saw Concubine Shu's face was gloomy and her eyes were staring straight into Shen Qing's eyes.

Shen Qing smiled, glanced at Madam Yanglinghou beside her, and said in her eyes: I am from Yanglinghou Mansion.

As expected, Concubine Shu glanced at Mrs. Yanglinghou, and then looked away.

As soon as Concubine Shu withdrew her warning eyes, Chu Qingyuan and Gu Tingshuang followed closely behind her. Shen Qing glanced at Mu Ziqian again with a hint of provocation in her eyes: I am Mu Ziqian's wife. The legitimate mistress of the Yanglinghou Mansion, what can you do to me?

As expected, Mu Ziqian also received warning looks from Chu Qingyuan and Gu Tingshuang.

At this time, no matter how slow they were, Mrs. Yanglinghou and Mu Ziqian noticed Shen Qing's intentions. The former frowned fiercely, lowered his voice and said displeasedly, "Shen Qing, what are you doing?"

Shen Qing responded with a smile on her face, "Didn't my mother say yesterday that I and the Hou Mansion should be one and the same? Now that someone has threatened me, shouldn't my mother and husband bear the responsibility together?"

Mu Ziqian, who was about to speak, choked hard and had to take a sip of tea to suppress the anger in his heart.

Mrs. Yangling Hou was also startled. Although this didn't sound like a big deal, she had a conscience. She just wanted to be with the Hou Mansion when Shen Qing gave her money. As for other times, she just wanted Shen Qing to stay away from her. of!

However, Shen Qing wanted to get closer to Mrs. Yanglinghou. Not only that, she also personally picked up a piece of pastry and brought it to Mrs. Yanglinghou. "Mother, try this, it tastes very good."

Madam Yanglinghou subconsciously accepted it, but she didn't dare to speak for a long time. She was thinking frantically about what kind of madness Shen Qing had today. It wasn't until she received Gu Tingshuang's cold and forbidding eyes again that Madam Yanglinghou finally understood. Jue realized that Shen Qing was clearly diverting trouble from the east!

Thinking of this, Mrs. Yanglinghou quickly dropped the pastry on the table. Just when she was about to excuse Shen Qing, Shen Qing said generously, "The pastry is sweet, so just drop it." "My mother wants to try the palace's unique peach blossom tea, which is fragrant and sweet, and should suit my mother's taste."

Mrs. Yanglinghou's eyelids twitched fiercely, and she could only accept it bravely.

Let's not talk about what happens behind the scenes, but in front of others, you must not touch Shen Qing's face. This is what Mu Xueliu has just explained.

Shen Qing was in a good mood and poured a glass for Mu Ziqian. Mu Ziqian just wanted to hide, but Madam Yanglinghou suddenly grabbed her wrist under the table, so she could only accept Shen Qing's rare gift. Show goodwill.

Mu Lingxi couldn't help laughing as she looked at the harmonious scene here but actually had different thoughts. Her sister-in-law was really interesting.

By the time the warm scene at Shen Qing's side was over, the flower-viewing banquet had already gone on for more than half. Most of the people present now were well-known in elementary and middle schools in Shengjing. They were either superb at playing the piano or dancing gracefully. It must be said that the queen was pretty good at it. Arrange the order of appearance.

As the sun moved towards the middle of the day, the flower-viewing feast gradually came to an end. Shen Qing knew that the highlight was coming.

Of the legitimate daughters present, only two ladies were not present. One was the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion and Gu Tingshuang's biological sister, Gu Tingyan; the other was the legitimate daughter of Duke Jiang's Mansion, who was also an unofficial choice. The candidate for the crown princess, Jiang Li.

The two are known as the two sisters of Shengjing. Not only are they proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, but they are also good at embroidery. Therefore, everyone present is curious about what talents the two will show.

What surprised everyone was that Jiang Li, the Queen's niece, actually appeared before Gu Tingyan.

Without those fancy decorations, Jiang Li only wore a simple aqua blue dress with long sleeves. She looked like she was about to dance, and then in the next moment, she took out a soft sword from her sleeve.

The blade of the sword was silver-white, emitting a stern cold light under the sunlight, adding a dash of heroism to Jiang Li's originally gentle face, making her even more dazzling.

When the maids brought out the painting, everyone realized that Jiang Li was dancing the sword and painting at the same time.

But in this case, isn’t it usually water sleeve dance? Can you still dance the sword dance?

Under everyone's doubtful gazes, Jiang Li suddenly raised the sleeve of her left hand, dipped it in a touch of cyan, and snaked it over the painting screen.

At the same time, Jiang Li's right wrist moved slightly, and the tip of the sword touched the ground, making a crisp clang sound. He tapped his toes and jumped into the air with a slight jump. He flipped the water sleeve of his left wrist and accelerated his painting movements in vain. His right hand also did not fall behind. , pulling out a beautiful sword flower in mid-air like flowing water.

The whole place was in an uproar.

With such a skill, Jiang Li's martial arts might not be inferior to that of a man.

Shen Qing's eyes could not help but flash with a hint of amazement. She was indeed the legitimate daughter of the Jiang family who was designated as the crown prince's concubine. In this sword dance alone, few ladies from aristocratic families could match her.

Under the constant astonishment of everyone, Jiang Li dipped the tip of her sword in ink and wrote the four words "Peony in the Golden Age" on the edge of the painting.

Everyone looked at the painting screen and saw hundreds of flowers blooming on it, with bright red peonies clustered in the center, unparalleled in splendor.

Jiang Li walked to the center of the banquet and looked at the queen who was standing above her. "My aunt is the mother of a country and has unparalleled dignity. Peonies are also the king of flowers, graceful and luxurious. So Li'er dedicated this painting "Peony in the Golden Age" to her aunt. I wish my aunt a long life and good health.”

After hearing this, the queen, who had always been indifferent to emotions and anger, suddenly showed a happy smile, and her eyes towards Jiang Li became softer, "I accept Li'er's wishes."

After finishing his words, he looked at the personal maid beside him and said, "Yun Lan, reward me."

Yun Lan agreed, and then looked at the little palace maid behind her. The little palace maid understood and quickly sent a purple jade ruyi down.

Jiang Li took it with both hands, and this time everyone's eyes fell on Gu Tingyan.

Gu Tingyan and Jiang Li have been known as the two beauties of Shengjing for many years. Now Jiang Li has become very popular, and just now the mother and daughter of Concubine Shu were punished by the Queen, so everyone wanted to see how Gu Tingyan would respond.

Under the eager eyes of everyone, Gu Tingyan calmly appeared on the stage, bowed to the Queen, and then walked to the piano stand and sat down gracefully.

Her fingertips moved slightly, and the lingering piano sound flowed out from her hands.

Everyone's expression moved slightly, as if they saw the gurgling stream in the mountains.

Suddenly, a clear sound sounded, like the cry of a phoenix.

Everyone realized that the song played by Gu Tingyan was the Phoenix Yin she composed herself.

The chirping sound became stronger, and everyone seemed to see the two phoenixes flying and circling in the sky, overlooking the world.

The chirping sound gradually stopped, and everyone seemed to see the phoenixes flying over the mountains together, sinking into the clouds, and finally disappearing.

The sound of the piano stopped for a long time, and everyone seemed not to notice it until Gu Tingyan's voice sounded, and everyone finally came back to their senses, "Empress, just now Miss Jiang presented a painting of "Prosperous Peony" for the Empress, Tingyan will present a song of "Phoenix Guidance" for the Empress, and I wish the Empress and His Majesty to be together forever and live happily together for a hundred years."

After the voice fell, the Queen's expression changed slightly.
