Chapter 124 Outwit

"The wine tasting banquet has officially begun. Please take your seats."

The men and women sat separately, Song Baoling sat together with the other female family members, and Jun Tingsheng was opposite her not far away.

After the two looked at each other, they looked away in unison, but Jin Wanlin saw this scene.

Thinking of what Song Baochai had said before and what she had learned about, the more she thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt.

In the middle of the wine-tasting banquet, many official ladies showed off their talents, playing music, chess, calligraphy, painting, and reciting poems, which everyone enjoyed watching.

Song Baochai was accompanying you. When he saw Song Baoling in the audience who was looking up at the performance, he immediately came up with a plan.

"Your Majesty, I remember that my sister Ling'er has been practicing the piano since she was a child. However, after she grew up, we sisters became somewhat alienated, and I haven't heard her play the piano for many years."

Hearing her words, Song Baoling was stunned. When had she practiced piano since she was a child?

When Song Baichuan was stationed in the border area, Li was not even allowed to have a full stomach during the years when she was in charge, let alone play chess, calligraphy and painting.

"My beloved, do you want to hear your sister play the piano?"

Jun Yelan looked at Song Baoling with interest. He originally wanted to find a chance to test it out, but unexpectedly Song Baochai helped him.

"In that case, let's let the little girl of the Song family play a piece in front of everyone. I also want to hear how your piano sounds."

Song Baoling's words of refusal were already on his lips, but when he heard the words, he could not speak.

Forget it, just play it a few times and fool it.

"Miss Song, although today is just a wine-tasting banquet, if you don't play carefully or can't play well, you will be immoral in front of the palace. The Xuanping Marquis Mansion will be implicated in this."

What Jun Tianlin suddenly said made Song Baoling's heart tremble. She turned her head to look at him, and smiled lightly after a moment.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for reminding me. Ling'er will definitely work harder than before and will not disappoint His Majesty."

After Song Baoling saluted, she walked to the piano stand, looked at the strings that she had never touched before, and breathed out softly.

As the sound of the piano sounded, the noisy people around gradually quieted down, and everyone's eyes were on Song Baoling.

The melodious sound of the piano makes you feel like you are in the mountains and forests at one moment, and at the same time like you are in a lively market. It has a soft and beautiful feeling, but also does not lack the atmosphere of human fireworks...

At this time, a flute sound joined in. Song Baoling raised his eyes and saw Jun Tingsheng playing the flute, and the corners of his lips raised unconsciously.

The piano and flute ensemble is not inconsistent, on the contrary, the tacit understanding between the two makes the whole piece more beautiful.

The two people here were playing the piano and singing, and there Jin Wanlin was already half-dead with anger. The other official ladies were even more jealous when they saw this.

When the song ended and everyone had not recovered from the music, Concubine Leng stood up angrily and said: "Please punish Song Baoling, the Holy Admiral!"

Everyone was stunned when they heard this. Even Jun Yelan didn't react and asked in confusion: "Why is this?"

Concubine Leng suddenly turned her head and glared at Song Baoling, and said firmly: "Song Baoling's performance is a secret piece of music from the previous dynasty, and it has the intention of subverting this dynasty!"

The expression on Jun Yelan's face was unpredictable, and then he slapped the table and stood up: "How brave! How dare you play this kind of music openly, Song Baoling, are you looking down on me?"

The queen on the side even directly ordered: "Come here, arrest her quickly!"

"The Queen will be merciful."

Song Baichuan hurriedly stepped forward, knelt on the ground, and saluted Jun Yelan: "Your Majesty, please calm down. My daughter is still young. How can she know the secrets of the past? There must be a misunderstanding."

However, in the face of the upcoming charges, the person involved, Song Baoling, did not panic at all, and everyone couldn't help but feel confused when they saw this.

"The Queen Mother is here!"

Hearing the words from outside the palace, Jun Yelan and others immediately stood up and saluted. When the Queen Mother walked into the hall and saw this situation, she asked what happened.

Jun Yelan frowned and refused to speak. In order to save his daughter, Song Baichuan had to take the initiative to tell the truth about what happened.

"Oh, so that's it."

The Queen Mother looked at Song Baoling, whose face was full of innocence, pitiful for her young age and asked her to explain, "Don't be afraid, tell yourself, what is this song about?"

Song Baoling knelt down to salute the Queen Mother, then straightened up and said frankly: "To the Queen Mother, Your Majesty, what I played was not the secret music of the previous court. There are differences between the two songs."

After listening to her explanation, the Queen Mother's eyes searched among the people in her Highness. After a moment, her eyes fell on one person.

"Liu Taidou, you were here just now. Can you tell me whether the song played by this little girl is the same as the dark song?"

Song Baoling turned to look at the man who stood up to salute. She had never seen this man before, but she had heard of his name.

Liu Taidou, a world-famous piano master, is quite famous in various countries. People once said that he was a music fanatic.

"Reporting to the Queen Mother, the music played by this lady is indeed different from the melody of the dark music."

When he finished speaking, Song Baoling followed closely and pointed out the places he had changed in the music one by one.

"The Queen Mother, Your Majesty, and your servants adapted this piece of music to praise the prosperity of our dynasty and the joy and carefree people of this dynasty. It also means that our dynasty will endure for a long time."

Hearing these words, Jun Yelan's eyes suddenly lit up, and the Queen Mother even asked Song Baoling to play again.

After the song, the Queen Mother praised Song Baoling without hesitation, "I didn't expect that you can have such piano skills at such a young age. It is really commendable."

Seeing that the Queen Mother appreciated her so much, Jun Yelan also took advantage of the situation and echoed: "I didn't hear the mystery of it just now. After listening to it again with the Queen Mother, this song is indeed magnificent."

"Song Baoling, you really gave me another surprise. Come and give me your token."

The so-called "asking for the emperor's order", with this order, you can travel freely in the palace.

"My dearest daughter, thank you for your gift."

Everyone was immediately surprised and cast envious glances at Song Baoling. Jun Tingsheng even sneaked up to her side when no one was paying attention.

"Ling'er, congratulations."

Seeing his sneaky look, Song Baoling couldn't help laughing, "You are my uncle, why did you come here secretly like this?"

"Didn't I tell you not to call me uncle?"

"Okay, if you don't bark, don't bark."

Song Baoling looked around and whispered: "Thank you for inviting the Queen Mother in advance, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to escape so easily."

The expression on Jun Tingsheng's face changed slightly. In fact, the Queen Mother had never liked him. He also knew that the Queen Mother was coming to this wine tasting banquet, but it was just a matter of time.

But in order to save Song Baoling, he still sent someone to send a message. It seems that the Queen Mother came just to sell him a favor.

"As long as you're okay."

The two talked for a while, and Jun Tingsheng was afraid of being discovered, so he slipped back to his seat.

Song Baoling sat on the stool obediently and stopped doing anything to attract attention. Everyone here had ulterior motives, and she didn't want her father to worry about her anymore.
