An Lingge, who was sitting on her own seat, raised her eyebrows and met An Lingxue's eyes. Her lips curved in a mocking arc.

Her mother had died early, and the nanny beside her had secretly changed sides. Only a hypocritical aunt had the backing, so what kind of skills could she possibly have?

Presumably An Lingxue also thought of this, so she dug a hole for herself to jump into.

If he were to say that he had never promised An Lingxue that he would play together with her, in the eyes of others, he would just stand back and watch, not even daring to show off his talent. If he acted on stage, with his stupidity, he would probably become the laughingstock of the entire capital.

No wonder An Lingxue was running towards her courtyard a few days ago. It turned out that she had already dug a hole for him at that time, but didn't notice at all.

At that time, An Lingxue got close to him not only to give him that lotus bag with the musk on it, but also to let her believe her words.

As soon as the two met, they acted like sisters. Everyone in the mansion knew that the eldest miss and the second miss shared a similar interest. It was nothing more than a piece of music, so it was a common occurrence.

Even the Old Mistress would not think that An Lingxue made these words out of thin air and purposely wanted An Lingge to make a fool of herself.

To be able to come up with such a profound plan at such a young age, An Lingxue's scheming was truly frightening.

But no matter what, could she be more terrifying than a reincarnated ghost like her?

An Lingge stood up while facing An Lingxue's gaze, and An Lingyi who was at the side also had a malicious smile on her lips.

She had grown up together with An Lingge, so she naturally knew how her aunt had taught An Lingge. An Lingge had never learned anything from him, and now that she was forced onto the stage, she naturally had to make a fool of herself in front of the crowd.

No matter how pleased An Lingyi was with herself, or how much she shouted at An Lingge to make a fool of herself, she could only stand up and walk to the stage calmly.

"I will naturally not forget what I promised Little Sister Little Xue."

She sat down next to An Lingxue with a zither and a beautiful lute in front of her.

An Lingxue hugged her pipa and smiled shyly at An Lingge. Her beautiful face was filled with innocence, who would have thought that she had such malicious thoughts?

She chose a rather difficult famous song, "The Rainbow Skirt Dance". Not to mention those who had never learned any musical instruments, even those who had practiced the zither's lute for three to five years might not be able to play this song well.

However, even though An Lingxue had grown up in the ancestral home, the madame had never neglected her teachings. She had even used all of her food and clothing according to the highest standards of a direct descendant in the capital.

This "Rainbow Skirt Dance" had not been played at the Spring Festival Gala for many years, and the reason was none other than that it was too difficult. The number of people who had learned this song was few, and the number of people who could play it was even fewer.

Now that An Lingxue had chosen this tune, the Queen who was seated at the top seat also raised her eyebrows in surprise.

An Lingxue felt everyone's gaze and saw An Lingge sit down beside her. Her pure white fingertip lightly strummed the zither, and a sweet and clear sound flowed out from under her hands.

As soon as the expert made a move, he immediately knew if it was true or not.

All of the young masters and mistresses present had some talent, so they were naturally able to hear the deep basics of An Lingxue's skills.

Her fingertips danced between the strings of the zither, playing one note after another, slowly and gently, making people feel as if a spring breeze was blowing. The music suddenly changed, becoming hurried and intense, as if it was a battle between tens of thousands of soldiers.

An Lingge also extended her hand out, her pure white fingers became even more slender, and landed on the zither strings. Her ten fingers flew, and the speed was so fast that one could not even see her movements, only the sound of an impassioned zither strike beside her ear, like the stomps of a horse, the cry of a crow.

Her movements were too fast, but the expression on her face was very relaxed. It was obvious that she was very skilled in the art of playing out the most intense and expensive part of the song so easily and easily.

At the side, An Lingxue's expression changed slightly. She originally wanted An Lingge to be humiliated in front of everyone, but who would have thought that An Lingge had such high attainment, if she did not use all her strength, she would become the one to make a fool of herself.

An Lingxue's mind was in a mess, when she tried to pull the strings of the zither again, her strength was already insufficient.

Sweat began to appear on her forehead. Her fingers moved frantically on the strings of the zither, but she was wrong several times in a row.

However, An Lingge just stood to the side and coordinated. The perfect playing of the zither caused An Lingxue to have all sorts of mistakes.

With a clanging sound, An Lingxue's fingertip started bleeding. She stared blankly at the broken strings in her hands, and even her lips had lost all color, becoming completely pale.

She was too petite and cute. Her pale face made her look even more pitiful.

In the end, the empress couldn't bear to make things difficult for her, so she opened her mouth to rescue her.

An Lingge gracefully said thank you to the empress and brought An Lingxue back to her seat with concern in her eyes. "Little Sister Little Xue is too careless, it's just a Spring Festival performance, you just need to casually play a tune, how can you hurt yourself? How sad will Grandmother and Third Aunt be? "

Her words were full of concern, An Lingxue was so angry that her lips were trembling, but she still forced out an ugly smile, "It was Little Xue's carelessness that caused big sister to make a fool of herself."

As soon as she said it, her eyes reddened and tears welled in her eyes. She looked stubborn and pitiful.

An Lingge picked up the handkerchief in her hand and lightly wiped her face, "Why would I blame you for this? It's just that you've hurt yourself for a banquet, it's not worth it at all. In the future, you can't do such a foolish thing. "

She would never do something so stupid again!

An Lingxue clenched her fists so hard that the bones of her hands turned white, and her fingertips pierced deep into her palms.

It was her mistake this time. She did not expect that An Lingge's accomplishments in the guzheng would be so high, causing her to be injured in such a panic. This would benefit An Lingge's good reputation!

Seeing An Lingxue getting injured, An Lingyi was naturally happy in her heart. However, when she caught sight of Mu Junhan's gaze, which was filled with deep feelings for her, a layer of sullenness instantly covered her charming face.

Madam Li patted her hands in consolation, she secretly glanced at a palace maid, who nodded, lifted her wine pot and walked towards An Lingge.
