Chapter 252: Minister, you can try!
Bai Lian's words were like a thunder that exploded throughout the entire Taiping Banquet.
"I didn't expect General Bai to be so amazing. Not only is he good at poetry, chess, horse riding and archery, he can also play the piano!"
"I'm really looking forward to General Bai's piano skills!"
A girl in a pink dress said, "What are you thinking? Do you really think that the concubine of Prince Qi is recommending General Bai? She is actually harming General Bai!"
"how do I say this?"
The girl in the pink dress: "Although General Bai is the eldest daughter of the Shangshu Mansion and her mother is also of noble status, she has been living in the countryside since she was young. Although she has learned kung fu, she has never learned to play the zither. What can she play? This concubine wants to drag her down to the bottom because she lost the competition!"
"No, according to what you said, how did General Bai get the title of the most talented woman?"
The girl in the pink dress said, "I was also present at the Spring Banquet. It is said that poetry was taught by her master, and chess was taught by His Royal Highness Prince Yi. His Royal Highness Prince Yi said that General Bai was born smart and learned very quickly. General Bai is really amazing. Since the Spring Banquet, I have regarded her as my hero!"
"If that's the case, how do you know she hasn't found time to learn the piano?"
The girl in the pink dress thought about it seriously and said, "It's not impossible."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone sighed again.
"Do you really think that piano skills can be developed in a short period of time? This thing requires many years of practice. If it is really as you said, your so-called hero will probably go up and embarrass himself!"
The girl in the pink dress suddenly came to her senses and stamped her feet in anger: "I knew that the bitch who cuddled with someone else's husband on Bai Lian's wedding night couldn't possibly be so kind! She did it on purpose, trying to drag down my hero! I hope the emperor is wise and doesn't fall for her trick!"
"..."
Ouyang Ming is not a fool, how could he not see what Bai Lian is thinking.
Now, he finally understood why Ouyang Qi became more and more arrogant and complacent, his vision became narrower and narrower, and he acted on his emotions without distinguishing the important from the unimportant. It turned out to be because he got together with Bai Lian.
However, this cannot be entirely blamed on Bai Lian.
Because Bai Lian was at most an inducement, and he was the result. It was his own choice. He chose the way he preferred and also chose someone with whom he could resonate.
It seems that all real power can no longer be handed over to him in the future, otherwise it will become a big problem in the future.
"But I heard that General Bai is not good at playing the zither. How should she perform?"
When these words came out, Bai Lian was slightly startled.
She originally planned to force the issue, but unexpectedly, Ouyang Ming actually spoke up for Bai Wei and shirked the responsibility.
Yes, as long as she doesn't go, how can she be embarrassed?
In the end, it is yourself who is embarrassed.
But I have already said what I just said. If I change my words now, I will not only be considered to have malicious intentions and want to drag my elder sister into trouble, but it will also be considered as deceiving the king!
"Really? But my elder sister told me before that she is proficient in everything from music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and I can never compare to her. That's why Lian'er thought that her music skills were amazing and recommended her to the emperor."
As he spoke, he lowered his head slightly, his brows full of pity.
"General Bai, you're going a bit too far."
"Yeah, even if she is really amazing, you shouldn't say that."
The girl in the pink dress was even more unhappy when she heard this: "What do you mean? You believe everything she says?"
"Then what evidence do you have to prove that General Bai didn't say that?"
The girl in the pink dress was stunned when she heard this and didn't know how to answer for a while.
The others then joined together to laugh at her, saying, "See, you can't prove that she didn't say that, right?"
The girl in the pink dress was pressed into a corner and said directly: "I'm going to put my words here today. If General Bai really said it, then she must be able to do it. If she can't do it, then she definitely won't say it. If you insist on me proving it, I can't produce it. But if anyone dares to say bad things about her again, I'll tear your mouth apart!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the people around fell silent for an instant, but after a moment they began to laugh.
"I remember you are He Yun, the daughter of the Minister of War? You seem to have been weak and sickly since childhood. A gust of wind could blow you down. What can you use to tear our mouths apart?"
Some even put their faces close to He Yun and said, "Come on, come on, tear it apart, tear it apart!"
He Yun's cheeks turned red with shame and he stomped his feet in anger.
The next second, a slap hit the man who stretched his face towards He Yun. The force was so great that he was slapped back a meter, with blood oozing from the corner of his lips.
"I find it disgusting to tear your mouth, but if I hear you insulting my sister and bullying this young lady again, I will beat you to death!"
How could the deleted person dare to confront Xiao Minglou? He could only nod and say, "Yes, yes, yes, I won't dare to do that again. I won't dare to do that again."
"Apologize to this lady!"
He casually pointed at He Yun, and only at this time did he turn his head to look at He Yun. When he saw He Yun's face clearly, he was obviously shocked.
She was a very slender girl with fair cheeks and a pointed chin, which made her bright eyes even more lively. At this moment, she was looking at her with gratitude in her eyes.
The next second, Xiao Minglou felt his face blush and his heart beat fast, and a heat surged into his heart for no reason. He quickly lowered his head and dared not look up again, because he was afraid that his expression would look weird, and he was also afraid that he would not be able to speak clearly.
The young man who was deleted kept saying, "I'm sorry, Miss He, I will never dare to do such frivolous things again, please forgive me, Miss He."
After saying that, he ran away without looking back.
He Yun looked at the person who was leaving with joy in his eyes.
Because she was weak and sickly since childhood, she was always the one being bullied. From childhood to adulthood, those who bullied her never apologized to her.
Today was the first apology she received, all thanks to Major General Xiao Minglou.
As expected of her heroic cousin, today she decided that she had one more hero, Xiao Minglou, Major General Xiao.
"Thank you, General Xiao..."
She was just about to turn around to thank him, but when she turned around, Xiao Minglou disappeared.
After feeling confused, He Yun felt a little disappointed.
Could it be that... Major General Xiao Minglou hates her?
At the corner of the Imperial Garden, Xiao Minglou was pressing his chest, trying to calm himself down.
The girl just now not only had a strong sense of justice and spoke up for Wei'er, but she was also so beautiful that just one look at her made his heart beat faster.
This was just a minor incident, not a big deal. Ouyang Ming saw it but simply ignored it.
Feng Lin looked at Bai Wei with interest and said, "I didn't expect that General Bai is actually good at playing the zither. General Bai, why don't you come on and give it a try? If you beat Yu Tan, I will give you the Yue Ying Grass you wanted before. How about that?"
When these words came out, Bai Wei was slightly stunned and looked at Feng Lin in disbelief.
He meant that if she won, he would give her the Moonlight Grass?
Although Ouyang Ming realized that Bai Lian was the one who caused this matter, now that Feng Lin had spoken, if he turned a blind eye and did nothing, where would his dignity as an emperor be?
So he sat up straight and said loudly, "Wei'er, how good are your piano skills? Are you willing to compete?"
When Bai Lian heard this, a hint of pride appeared on his face.
Because in this situation her goal has been achieved.
Even if Bai Wei refuses now, people will think she is arrogant and proud, and that she is no match for her in piano skills. Even if she loses and is not as good as the girl from Southern Xinjiang, she is still the best girl in piano skills among the girls from Eastern Qin!
Bai Wei looked at the smugness in Bai Lian's eyes and said with a contemptuous smile: "Minister, you can try."
