22. Chapter 22 Peach Blossom Banquet 2

Three thousand gold was not a small sum for He Shanshan, but it was something He Ruxue had asked her to do. If he lost, she would naturally pay it on his behalf.

However, He Shanshan did not think she would lose. She had already won twice in a row in this painting session. He Shanshan did not believe that anyone could draw better than her.

Not long after, the old queen arrived belatedly with the support of the queen and several maids.

On the table closest to her, Mo Xiang and several princes and princes were sitting, but the distance was too far, so Lan Xi couldn't see clearly.

In fact, the peach blossom banquet held by the royal family was just a pretense. The old queen mother only used this banquet to select the rich young lady she fell in love with, and to make plans for the future princes and princes to select concubines.

Therefore, the Peach Blossom Banquet has always been a place where all the rich people compete in their talents. They excel in music, chess, poetry and painting, and the four most outstanding people among them will also receive special rewards from the Queen Mother.

Lan Xi drank peach blossom wine in silence. She was not interested in this kind of competition at all, so after the old queen mother announced that the banquet had officially begun, Lan Xi did not make any move.

Seeing Lan Xi sitting there indifferently, He Shanshan couldn't help but sneered again. "You can't do anything, can you?"

No matter how good-tempered she is, she can't resist He Shanshan's repeated provocations, not to mention Lan Xi's bad temper.

"Miss He Er, please consider your status. Whether or not you take action is my business. It's not your turn to discuss it."

"you……"

"Shut up yet." He Ruxue glared at He Shanshan fiercely.

Not long after, the Qin session began.

Several maids in turn carried several guqins and placed them on the stone platform under the tree. The female officer in charge of presiding over the competition also spoke loudly.

"Ladies, we adopt a competition system in every link. The previous winner will perform first, and those who want to challenge can come up in turn."

After all, there are quite a lot of people coming to the Peach Blossom Banquet. If they all go up and play, I'm afraid they won't be able to finish the piano part by nightfall, not to mention the following items.

Lan Xi admired this system of keeping the ring, so she picked up a piece of peach blossom cake and put it in her mouth.

The winner of the last qin art was a tall and dignified girl named Bai Wei. Lan Xi didn't recognize her, but saw her stand up from the crowd and walk to the guqin.

Su Zhiqianqian, a beautiful and euphemistic tune came out from Bai Wei's hand. Lan Xi narrowed her eyes slightly, she had to admit that this girl's piano skills were extremely high.

Every note was performed just right by Bai Wei. When the song ended, the lingering sound lingered in the ears, and everyone applauded like thunder.

Then a few more daughters came up to play, but they were not as brilliant as Bai Wei. Seeing that there was no one to challenge, He Shanshan couldn't help but glance at Lan Xi again, but Lan Xi still didn't move, so she had to get up.

After all, the two of them had an agreement, which meant that both of them had to participate in the four links. He Shanshan had always been very talented and her piano skills were above average, so she didn't believe that Lan Xi would be better than her.

He Shanshan plays Feng Qiuhuang. The music is euphemistic and moving, and her interpretation is extremely good. It can be said that she is the best player after Zhi Baiwei.

Of course, whether you play well or not has to be judged by everyone. In addition to the old queen, the princes and princesses also have a great say.

After He Shanshan finished playing, she looked at Lan Xi provocatively, but Lan Xi just smiled and stood up calmly.

"Are you really going?" Qu Xiaolian sat aside with a grimace.

"Of course, each item has three thousand gold, how can I not go."

As Lan Xi walked slowly to the piano, the crowd started talking again.

Lan Xi, the only daughter of Lord Lan Guo and the pride of Shui Yue, is shrouded in these names, but now her appearance is completely ruined, and people can't help but feel a little sad.
