Yuwen Longyan’s eyebrows twitched when he heard that.
However, he didn’t know if the girl knew how to play the four arts.
Yuwen Longyan was also curious.
Xiao Jingyu’s eyes lit up when she heard Consort Liu’s words. She was proficient in all these things. No one in the Black Clouds Kingdom could compare to her. She believed that it was the same here.
Therefore, Xiao Jingyu’s eyes were filled with desire. This desire was called surpassing.
Her current goal was to surpass Lin Yuelan and become the center of attention, the most dazzling existence!
However, she suppressed her desire and stood up politely. She walked to the center of the hall and bowed to Consort Liu De. She said in a ladylike manner,” Your Majesty, you flatter me. Linglongs talent is lacking, and it’s difficult for her to be elegant. However, Linglong is still willing to embarrass herself! ”
Of course, she was willing to perform.
“Ling Long is willing to dance!” Xiao Jingyu said humbly.
Yuwen Longyan smiled and said,” That’s good! Princess Linglongs dancing skills are outstanding. I have long heard of it. Then, the ministers and I will have the honor of appreciating Princess Linglongs dance!”
Hearing Yuwen Longyan’s words, her face immediately became a little shy. She said to Yuwen Longyan,” Your Majesty, you flatter me!”
Then, she glanced at Jiang Zhennan. She grabbed the hem of her dress with both hands and lowered her head slightly as if she was embarrassed.
Yuwen Longyan looked at Princess Linglong and frowned slightly. He asked in confusion,” Princess Linglong, is there a problem?”
Xiao Jingyu bit her lower lip, then mustered up her courage and said,” I heard that your country’s Defender General is very good at playing the Xun. Will you let the Defender General play a song for me?”
He also kicked the ball back to Xiao Jingyu.
Xiao Jingyu’s expression stiffened.
She had never thought that the Emperor would be like this!
How could this be?
However, she had no choice but to reply,” Alright then!”
Then, she turned her head and looked at Jiang Zhennan with a hopeful smile.
She asked,” I wonder if Great General will agree to Linglongs request?”
Before Jiang Zhennan could say anything, Consort Liu interrupted him,” General, Princess Linglong is a foreign convoy. General, you won’t reject her request, right?”
As she said this, she deliberately looked at Lin Yuelan as if she wanted to see some change in her expression.
She knew that Jiang Zhennan would definitely reject Xiao Jingyu, so she used words to block Jiang Zhennan first. She wanted to see how Jiang Zhennan would reject Xiao Jingyu.
At the same time, she said those words to keep Lin Yuelan away.
After Jiang Zhennan heard Consort Liu’s words, his face remained calm. He didn’t stop peeling the banana for Lin Yuelan. Then, without looking at Xiao Jingyu, he said directly, “I’ve stopped playing the Xun a long time ago! “He had already started to learn how to play the flute because his Yue Er liked to listen to the sound of the flute.
Regardless of whether Jiang Zhennan really stopped playing the Xun or it was just an excuse to reject Xiao Jingyu, everyone understood that he had directly rejected her!
As soon as Jiang Zhennan’s words left his mouth, both Xiao Jingyu and Consort Liu’s expressions froze.
Then, Consort Liu said sternly,” General, even if you don’t play the Xun anymore, it doesn’t mean that you don’t know how to play it. Princess Linglong is a foreign guest. I’m afraid it’s inappropriate for you to reject her so directly, right?”
Her words seemed to force Jiang Zhennan to agree..
