Chapter 208 Palace Flower Order

"It turns out to be Miss Zong. You are so lucky."

"Your Majesty, you are so kind."

The lady next to him, Li, had some impression of Miss Zong, so she said with a smile.

"I wonder what Miss Zong is going to perform for us?"

"Well, I know a little about music, so why not play a piece of "Autumn Moon over the Calm Lake" for everyone."

When Zong Li said this, although she was modest on the surface, her eyes were full of confidence. Obviously, she was very confident about the bamboo flute.

The Crown Princess nodded, and someone handed her the bamboo flute as soon as she raised her hand.

Zong Li took it and fiddled with it casually for a few times. After trying two notes, she concentrated her energy and closed her eyes to start playing.

Although Du Jingyi did not understand music, he also knew that this piece was played very well.

The artistic conception was far-reaching, the sound of the flute was clear and lingering, and it was the night of the Lantern Festival with a full moon, so it seemed even more ethereal.

On the painted boat, those who knew about the flute looked at Miss Zong with admiration.

It must be said that she is quite capable.

The sound of the flute reached other pleasure boats. The prince and others were still toasting and drinking, but they were a little surprised to hear this song.

With a smile on his face, he looked at the attendant Cao Wei beside him and gave an order.

"Go ask who is playing the flute? It sounds good."

"Yes, prince."

The attendant Cao Wei turned around respectfully and left, heading to the back of the pleasure boat to inquire about the matter.

The young lady of the Zong family, who was still performing seriously at the moment, obviously did not expect that just one song would mess up her life.

With the ups and downs of the flute sound, Wei Jialian's hands hidden under her sleeves were almost scratched, but her face was still intoxicated.

She waited until the end of the song before she pretended to applaud and said in a friendly manner.

"Sister Zong's flute playing is like the sound of nature. Every time I listen to it, I feel it is so melodious."

"Sister Jialian, you are too kind. It is just a trivial skill. It is not worthy of being presented in a high-class hall."

The two of them flattered her, which made Du Jingyi raise his eyebrows. Mrs. Xing, who was also standing next to Mrs. Gu, snorted coldly.

"Showing off a sword in front of Guan Gong."

After this, Du Jingyi asked curiously.

"Aunt, is there anyone in the family who can play this flute?"

"Not only can she, but her skill is far superior to this lady."

She then added, "a hundred times."

Such praise made Du Jingyi unable to help but ask.

"Who is it? I heard that Miss Zong's flute sounded very good. Who else can be so much better than her?"

Mrs. Xing did not say much. She pointed at Gu Xiaolang's silhouette with her finger and said softly.

"Lang'er has been learning from a famous teacher in Jinling since she was young. Not to mention the flute, even her attainments in the huqin are far superior to others."

Her words were not exaggerated.

The Gu family is a family of military generals. There are many brothers in the family, all of whom are brave and good at fighting.

The only thing is that there is a daughter like Gu Xiaolang, who has a talent for music since she was a child.

No matter what kind of instrument it is, she can play a beautiful sound different from ordinary people in her hands, so her reputation in Jinling City is also very strong.

Many people are proud to have a famous teacher, but the famous teachers are proud to be able to teach the young lady of the Gu family.

So, in the eyes of Mrs. Xing, the sound of the flute of this young lady of the Zong family is really not worth mentioning.

Although Mrs. Gu did not speak, the pride and joy in her eyes were visible to the naked eye.

The two of them made Du Jingyi curious.

I wonder if there is a chance to listen to a song today.

His eyes continued to look not far away. The performance of Miss Zong made her famous and envied by everyone.

And the palace flower order continued, and young ladies from aristocratic families got the opportunity one after another.

Therefore, there were those who danced a song to fascinate the city, and there were those who chanted a song to the moon in the river.

Wei Jialian watched the opportunity slip away from her hands again and again, and she couldn't help but get anxious.

Even though her coming-of-age ceremony would be in a few days, and she could legitimately show off in front of everyone, she still had a desire to show off at this moment.

The impatient and concealed look fell into the eyes of those noble ladies, and they probably understood a little.

If it weren't for the good family background of the Wei family, such a temperament would be looked down upon by most ladies who wanted a quiet home.

Among them, naturally, the one standing next to the Crown Princess.

The eyes of Mrs. Weiyuan were still as calm as ever, but when she swept over Wei Jialian, her eyes jumped very quickly, obviously not taking her seriously.

Until the last time, the peony velvet flower still did not fall into Wei Jialian's hands.

She looked at Xue Niang, who had always been at odds with her, with dissatisfaction, and had already cursed her thousands of times in her heart.

And Xue Niang obviously did not expect that the last one would be her. She could not help swallowing her saliva and looked at Gu Xiaolang who was standing next to her.

There was a lot of help in her eyes, and she spoke in a low voice.

"Cousin Lang, what should I do?"

For someone like Gu Xiaolang who is full of skills, the Palace Flower Order is the least scary. It's just that you can do what you know at will.

But for Xue Niang, she has never been a noticeable person in the past ten years, let alone any noticeable ability, so she is naturally very guilty.

And her vainness also fell into the eyes of the noble ladies, and there was some disappointment.

The lady of the Duke's Mansion should not be so timid and unpresentable.

Obviously, Madam Gu and Du Jingyi also noticed this. Just as they were thinking about how to help her, they suddenly heard a splash.

Soon, the originally calm West Suburb Canal suddenly became lively.

"Someone fell into the water, someone fell into the water."

This shout was heard by most people in the canal.

The Crown Princess and others were still smiling, but suddenly they became depressed.

Today, all the people on the pleasure boat were of noble status. If one of them, whether male or female, had an accident, they would be in trouble.

So they hurriedly gave orders.

"Go, go and save people!"

"Yes!"

There were many people around the Crown Princess who were familiar with water. When they heard the order, they naturally jumped into the water and ran straight to the person who fell into the water.

When Wei Jialian heard this, she immediately turned her head and said something pretending to be curious.

"All the pleasure boats going out today are from the royal family and the government. How could someone be so careless?"

As soon as she spoke, Du Jingyi couldn't help but frown.

This Wei Jialian is really spoiled. In the past, she was thought to be flamboyant and inflexible.

Now it seems that she is simply a person who loves to stir up trouble, likes excitement and can't stand loneliness.

No wonder, the people of the Wei family have never been willing to be outdone. She waited all night but didn't get a chance to show herself. It would be strange if she didn't add insult to injury at this time.
