Chapter 608: It sounds ugly, it's embarrassing
"Third," Yun Mujiu pointed at Bei Liyi, "According to Princess Gaoyang's words, those who performed before should perform again now. Then shouldn't you invite Princess Bei?"
Gao Yang was speechless and the situation was at a stalemate for a while.
Bei Liyi didn't want her plan to fail, so she tried her best to wink at Princess Gao Yang and secretly pointed at Yun Mujiu.
Princess Gao Yang thought of a plan and changed the subject - "Princess Ye, since you performed well at the envoys' banquet, why can't you perform it today?"
Cao and the others had all kinds of expressions on their faces. They all saw Princess Gaoyang's hostility towards Yun Mujiu. Princess Gaoyang brought up the story of Princess Ye playing the piano last time. Since it worked last time, it should work this time too. Princess Ye might not be able to refuse.
Seeing Yun Mujiu's calm demeanor, Princess Gao Yang became even angrier and asked harshly, "Princess Ye, do you look down on me? Do you look down on the Cui family? So you completely ignored the tea party!"
Princess Gaoyang's last words brought the hatred brought by Yun Mujiu to everyone. Yun Mujiu was dismissive of the banquet, so naturally he didn't care about the people at the banquet.
Some ladies immediately looked unhappy. Before Yun Mujiu got married, she was very arrogant and disrespectful to others. Does she still look down on them like this now?
"Princess!" Yun Mujiu stood up, "Please be careful with your words! I don't mean to look down on anyone."
With a light tone, she added: "Besides, is there anything so important that makes me treat everyone coldly?" The deep meaning of her words was that other people were not worth her wasting any emotions!
Everyone felt Yun Mujiu's indifference and a hint of arrogance, and those who were angry just now immediately changed their mood.
In the past, Princess Ye was forced to show her rude and arrogant image because of the situation. Now Princess Ye is arrogant because of her real ability. What else can they say? They can only admire Princess Ye honestly.
Yun Mujiu walked to the middle of the stage, looked directly at Princess Gaoyang, and said meaningfully: "Princess Gaoyang, don't change the subject. You just keep insisting that I play the piano. I think everyone should know what your intention is..."
Princess Gaoyang was so angry that her breathing became heavier. She insisted, "Apart from Miss Yun Er and Princess Bei, why can't you offer a little thought to my banquet?"
"Of course not!" Yun Mujiu felt that the time was almost right and coughed lightly.
Her face was serious, and she said solemnly, "At the envoy's palace banquet, it was the Queen Mother who suggested that I choose playing the piano as the first talent item in the competition with Princess Bei. That's why I went to play the piano."
"At that time, it was a competition to show off the talents of our princesses with princesses from other countries. It was a serious diplomatic occasion, and the competition was hosted by the Queen Mother."
"This is just a tea party hosted by Princess Gaoyang. The unmarried ladies present here also came with the intention of making friends and finding their ideal husbands. They have their own reasons for performing their talents. Since I'm already married to the prince, why should I show myself off?"
Yun Mujiu's words were fluent and clear.
The scene was silent, no one dared to speak. Princess Gaoyang couldn't control her distorted expression several times.
"Heh," Yun Mujiu's eyes flashed with sternness, and he asked loudly - "Does Princess Gaoyang think that the standards and level of the banquet she hosted are more solemn and noble than the envoys' palace banquet hosted by the emperor and the empress? Does the princess think that her say is more powerful than the empress dowager? "
To put it bluntly, you have ulterior motives and don't even know your own worth.
As a married princess, what qualifications and dignity do you have to ask the princess of a foreign country to accompany the dancers in your mansion?
Who do you think you are? How dare you be compared with the Queen Mother?
Many people, including Princess Gao Yang, turned pale instantly. They all understood the sharp accusation in Yun Mujiu's words.
Yun Mujiu compared the differences between the palace banquet for envoys and the spring outing banquet, and brought up the big issues of the emperor, empress, and queen mother, which directly dealt a fatal blow to Gao Yang.
Princess Gaoyang was scared. Yun Mujiu's clever words could turn the situation around and made her speechless.
Yun Mujiu smiled, walked forward, grabbed Bei Liyi, and pushed her directly onto the stage.
Then, Fuso took a musician's zither and moved it in front of Bei Liyi.
Yun Mujiu seemed to have become the host of the banquet, smiling at everyone. "Everyone, please enjoy the piano music of Miss Yun and Princess Bei."
Bei Liyi wanted to speak, but was frightened by the warning look in Yun Mujiu's eyes. She was afraid that Yun Mujiu would reveal her secret.
Yun Shirou sat on the ground, unwillingly saying, "Princess Ye, I'd better give up." She was in so much pain, with many broken bones, how could she have the energy and strength to play the piano. Moreover, if she spread the shame of accompanying a dancer, wouldn't she, a talented woman in the capital, be ridiculed by everyone?
“Okay, forget it.” Yun Mujiu shook his head helplessly, “It seems that Miss Yun is so ill that she can’t even move her hands.”
Yun Mujiu's words awakened everyone. What was wrong with Yun Shirou that she couldn't even play the zither? How could a mere cold affect both hands?
Everyone looked at Yun Shirou in confusion. Could it be that something really happened to Second Miss Yun and she was seriously injured?
Yun Shirou was so angry at Yun Mujiu's words that she wanted to kill someone. Damn it! He always led others to misunderstand her!
"No, no, no, I'm not that sick. It's just playing the piano. I can do it."
Yun Mujiu clapped his hands, and the dancers could only organize their ranks. Yun Shirou and Bei Liyi gritted their teeth, feeling extremely frustrated.
Yun Shirou was injured, so how could she play the piano properly? She plucked the strings, and a series of harsh and sharp sounds rang out, shocking everyone so much that they wanted to cover their ears. Bei Liyi was led astray by Yun Shirou, and the tune she played was off again and again, scaring some people with horror.
The atmosphere of the originally cheerful and lively scene was ruined by the weird and chaotic piano sound.
Princess Gaoyang sat in the main seat, endured the discomfort in her ears, and tried her best to behave properly as a hostess.
The strange sound of the piano resounded throughout the entire banquet, and the sound continued to spread far away, even reaching the banquet venue in the front yard.
Prince Consort Cao frowned fiercely, and the male guests became noisy, wondering what had happened? How could there be such an unpleasant song?
"It's so awful, I'm almost going deaf."
"My heart was beating fast with this strange sound. It was really scary."
The harmonious atmosphere in the front yard was gone, and everyone started talking again. Prince Consort Cao, the head of the Cao family, and Prince Consort Cao's younger brother, Second Master Cao, were all embarrassed. It was really embarrassing that such an embarrassing episode appeared in the banquet they hosted.
Prince Consort Cao quickly sent a few people to find out what had happened.
Yun Xiang was secretly delighted, guessing that Gao Yang and others had successfully made Yun Mujiu look bad.
Ye Chuhe just frowned slightly, then regained his friendly expression. Something must have happened in the garden, and it was related to the imperial aunt.
Meng Ninglang smiled at Su Wen and whispered, "Maybe Mu Jiu had someone put on a good show for us." Su Wen had seen Yun Shirou targeting Yun Mujiu, so he smiled knowingly. Yun Shirou and the others must have been tossed around by Yun Mujiu.
Wanyan Gu thought of the restless Bei Liyi and curled his lips. Who knows who is playing tricks on whom. It must be Yun Mujiu who is fighting back against them.
In the imperial study of the palace, Ye Xiaohan had already played dozens of games of chess with the emperor, and was still playing.
Coincidentally, each of his chess pieces was exactly the one given to the emperor.
It would be better if it ended quickly, he wanted to see Mu Mu earlier.
