Princess Zichu was shaking with anger. She didn't expect that Sheng Zhiyao would dare to insult her like this!

"Wait a minute!" Concubine Qi suddenly called out to Sheng Zhiyao.

"Do you have any other instructions?" Sheng Zhiyao stopped.

"The competition is not over yet! Could it be that the princess is afraid that her skills are not as good as others, so she wants to run away now?" Princess Zi Chu said sarcastically.

"Haha, I don't object if you think so. After all, I don't have the skills to compete with you because it's a waste of time." Sheng Zhiyao said neither humble nor arrogant.

"Then why did you agree to compete just now!"

"Because I want to know what makes you so confident, a princess from Western Chu! I think I should know the answer now." Sheng Zhiyao said mockingly.

"What do you mean?" Princess Zichu was a little annoyed by Sheng Zhiyao's words.

"Haha, don't you understand what I mean?" Sheng Zhiyao asked.

"You!" Princess Zichu was speechless for a moment, but she refused to show weakness.

"You, you, you, apart from saying these words, do you know anything else? There should be a limit to hearsay, otherwise you can only be used as a weapon by others." Sheng Zhiyao said contemptuously.

"You!" Princess Zi Chu stamped her feet angrily. She never thought that she would be laughed at by a little girl and that she would be told the true nature of the matter.

At this time, Concubine Qi came over: "Your Highness, don't be angry, don't argue with such a rude wild girl." Concubine Qi patted Princess Zi Chu on the back and comforted her, while glaring at Sheng Zhiyao fiercely.

, eyes full of hatred.

Sheng Zhiyao was also a little impatient, so she walked over and picked up the guqin, put it on the table and started playing.

The song "Three Plum Blossom Blossoms" resounded throughout the grassland one after another. It started with a beautiful melody and a lively rhythm, and then became ups and downs. Finally, it was still and moved, one soft and one hard, a combination of hardness and softness.

Concubine Qi and Princess Zi Chu were somewhat immersed in it. After the song was over, many people's good intentions were still lingering.

"Pa, pa, pa!" The emperor applauded, and then others also applauded.

"The princess is really powerful, she seems to be a master." An old minister praised in admiration.

"Yes, I have never heard of someone who can play the piano so well." Another veteran was still thinking about it while stroking his beard on his chin.

"Okay, I have never heard such wonderful music. What is the name of this piece?" The emperor looked at Sheng Zhiyao.

"Back to Grandpa Huang, it's called "Three Plum Blossom Lanes"."

"Well, this song is very good. Grandpa Huang likes it. Zhiyao, you can actually play the piano and play it so well. It's really beyond my expectation." The emperor looked at Sheng Zhiyao and said with a smile. Such a smile made him very happy.

Rarely did he show it in front of the ministers, but his eyes when he looked at Sheng Zhiyao were full of appreciation and relief.

"Thank you for the compliment, Grandpa Huang. When I was a child, I often slept next to Grandpa's piano and I was deeply influenced by it. Now I can watch it from time to time." Sheng Zhiyao said with a slight curtsey.

The emperor nodded with satisfaction, and looked at Sheng Zhiyao's eyes with more and more satisfaction. He turned to look at Zi Chu: "Princess Zi Chu, I think that's all for today. Zhi Yao is still young, and you two are also tired.

How about we continue another day?"

Princess Zi Chu looked at Sheng Zhiyao and then at the emperor. She gritted her teeth and said reluctantly: "Yes, since His Majesty has decided, Zi Chu can only obey his order."

The emperor nodded: "Princess Zi Chu is really smart. Take a rest, have some refreshments from our Shang Zhou Dynasty, and let's watch the polo match."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Princess Zi Chu responded, then sat back in her seat and stopped making any sound, but her face darkened, and she looked at Sheng Zhiyao with deep jealousy in her eyes.

Sheng Zhiyao ignored it and ran to Grandma Huang and said coquettishly: "Grandma Huang, what do you think of Zhiyao's playing?"

"Okay, okay, Zhiyao plays very well." Grandma Huang said with a smile, "I know you are the best."

Sheng Zhiyao giggled, but she was observing her surroundings because she found that the ministers looked at her strangely.

"What are you doing? Why are you looking at me like that?" Sheng Zhiyao leaned against Grandma Huang.

"Princess, you are really amazing. I didn't expect you to play such a good song "Three Plum Blossoms"." An old minister on the side praised sincerely.

"Yes, Princess, you are only five years old. What a great future you will have!" Another veteran also said.

"Hey! The children taught by Shenghou Mansion are indeed extraordinary. It would be great if you could be my grandson-in-law."

"Yan Po, you old man, you actually robbed my good granddaughter in front of me. Quickly give up your idea. Your grandson hasn't been born yet. I'm afraid he won't be able to wait." The emperor listened to these veterans.

He was very proud of praising Sheng Zhiyao so much, and quickly counterattacked to tell them not to have any ideas about Sheng Zhiyao.

"Thank you for your kindness, sir. I only know a little bit about it." Sheng Zhiyao said modestly.

"Okay, okay, don't praise Zhiyao anymore, lest she become complacent, let her rest quietly." Grandma Huang interjected.

After everyone heard the Queen speak, they naturally did not dare to say anything more, but they still looked at Sheng Zhiyao with strange eyes.

Sheng Zhiyao was a little helpless. She knew that this time she had pushed herself to the forefront again, but she had no room to retreat now. She did not want to lose the emperor's face in front of other people.

But she was indeed a little tired, and as soon as she relaxed, she felt like sleeping.

"Zhiyao, why don't you go back and rest first." Grandma Huang said kindly, and then she greeted Sheng Hanmo: "Hanmo, you and Hangu should take Zhiyao back first. It's time for you to work hard for so long.

I’m tired.”

"Yes, we will take my sister back right now. Thank you Queen for your understanding." Sheng Hanmo said with his hands in hand.

Sheng Zhiyao obediently bowed: "Nazhiyao will leave first."

"Go, have a good rest, and come back to the palace to see me when you are full of energy." Grandma Huang said with a wave of her hand.

"Okay, Zhiyao will definitely come often." After Sheng Zhiyao said that, the two brothers took her out of the pasture and got into the carriage.

The carriage bumped along the way, and Sheng Zhiyao had already fallen asleep on the road. When he returned to the Marquis Mansion, Sheng Hanmo took him back to the room and asked the servants to take good care of him before leaving.

As soon as Sheng Hanmo returned to the Hou Mansion, he went to the Qingliu Courtyard of the old Marquis. He told the old Marquis everything that happened in Sheng Zhiyao today. After hearing this, the old Marquis laughed.

The old Marquis asked Sheng Hanmo: "Do you also want to know why your sister has so many things?"

Sheng Hanmo looked at the old Marquis in confusion and nodded.

"I remember when Zhiyao could speak when she was one year old, I discovered that her IQ was different from ordinary people. Every time I read a book, she would read with me. If she didn't understand, she would ask, and she would follow me when I played the piano, so I made a

I gave her the piano, and she actually learned to play it, and she played it better than me."

The old Marquis felt a little proud, picked up the tea cup on the table and took a sip before continuing: "At that time, I was so happy. Later, when she grew up, she would read and tinker with some random things when she had nothing to do.
