When Zhan Ning thought about this, he realized that his situation was not that good. It was a problem for Prince Zhan's palace to leave the capital. Over the years, he followed the Empress Dowager to Mount Wutai. Over time, he gradually lost his previous status in Kyoto.
.
Zhan Ning frowned.
She was very confident at first, but gradually realized that Gu Jinyan was not that easy to conquer.
She does have some abilities, otherwise she wouldn't be able to get engaged to the Prince Regent.
Instead, Zhan Ning was in a dilemma. She had absolute confidence in her piano skills, but she just didn't believe that people like those in Kyoto always looked down on those who were superior and flattered those who were inferior.
"No matter how the decision is made, it must at least be fair." Zhan Ning said: "The person who comes to judge must really understand the art of piano and show a fair attitude."
Gu Jinyan looked at Zhan Ning.
She has concerns, which is understandable.
Since she wanted to be convinced, it wasn't impossible.
"In this case, you can invite Duke Yan Lai to come over. Although Duke Yan is famous for his chess skills, he also has a deep understanding of musical instruments. Duke Yan has never been the kind of person to follow people's influence. What does Princess Zhan Ning think?" Gu Jinyan
asked.
Duke Yan?
Zhan Ning weighed it carefully in his mind and nodded.
"In addition, if Princess Zhanning is worried about who everyone will turn to because of their identity, it doesn't matter. During the competition, we can be in the room without seeing anyone and only listen to their voices. Naturally, we can also meet Princess Zhanning's requirements."
Gu Jinyan said.
Zhan Ning thinks this method is good, she didn't think of this just now.
nodded.
"Just one thing, you have to decide whether you win or lose." Gu Jinyan specifically reminded this point.
"Of course, I, Zhan Ning, have never been like this." Zhan Ning said confidently.
"It's just that Duke Yan can't be called casually. Duke Yan has already withdrawn from the court. Besides, Duke Yan always does things based on his temper. If he doesn't want to, the emperor's face won't either.
It's given, let alone a banquet for us ladies." Princess Zhanning asked worriedly.
Anyway, Prince Zhan's Palace and Duke Yan's Palace have never had any contact with each other, so naturally they can't talk to each other.
If he went to ask the Queen Mother for help, it would be too late. Besides, the Queen Mother never liked to fulfill her wishes.
"I will arrange for someone to invite Mr. Yan," Gu Jinyan said with a relaxed expression.
"Are you sure you can invite me?" Princess Zhanning looked suspicious.
"I know County Lord Meng Yun and have been to Duke Yan's house several times. As long as Duke Yan is free, there will be no problem." Gu Jinyan was relatively normal about this matter.
"You're really a big talker." Princess Zhanning didn't quite believe this, so she also prepared a backup plan.
Gu Jinyan made arrangements directly and asked Xiaochun to go to Duke Yan's mansion to ask.
Ning Xin was stunned for a while when she heard this. She saw that they had almost arranged things in a vigorous manner, and then she came to her senses. Today, Prince Ning's mansion is just a small flower viewing party.
, and as a result, something like this happened.
She had to talk to her father and mother as soon as possible. She didn't know if this matter would have any impact on their palace.
The same goes for Sister Zhanning. I don’t know what Sister Zhanning thinks.
The regent and sister Jinyan are already engaged, and sister Zhanning will not gain anything by doing this.
Ning Xin told her mother and concubine to prepare the place and left in a hurry.
Princess Ning was chatting with a group of ladies at the moment. Ning Xin shouted anxiously: "Concubine."
"Ning Xin, go and accompany the ladies who came here. Why are you here?" Princess Ning was startled, worried that her daughter had always been a bit romantic and naive, and did not take serious matters to heart, so she was just having fun.
"Mother, I have something to tell you." Ning Xin looked anxious and uneasy.
Only then did Princess Ning realize that something was wrong. The child Ning Xin had always been quite sensible, but nothing had happened.
Upon seeing this, Princess Ning asked the ladies to chat among themselves.
Mrs. Zhenbeihou was a little worried, worried that something had gone wrong in Prince Ning's mansion, and whether Jinyan had been bullied, so she whispered to Aunt Xi Ye to go over and take a look at the situation.
"Ning Xin, what's wrong?" Princess Ning lowered her voice and asked.
"Concubine, something happened. Sister Zhan Ning seemed to be very dissatisfied with Sister Jinyan after she came. Now she said she wanted to compete in piano skills and even made a bet. I'm worried that something will happen." Ning Xin said.
The anxiety and worry on the page have not disappeared: "Sister Zhan Ning and sister Jinyan are both of high status."
"Zhan Ning?" Princess Ning asked.
"Sister Zhan Ning came to see me a few days ago, so I invited Sister Zhan Ning." Ning Xin explained this matter. The guests invited to the banquet were called one more lady. Ning Xin had this
Autonomy does it.
It sounds like Princess Ning has no problem.
It's just that Princess Ning was a little dissatisfied with some things: "Who mentioned it first?"
"Sister Zhanning, sister Zhanning doesn't like sister Jinyan a little. I think sister Jinyan has a good temper. We were talking about her just now, but she didn't argue with us when she heard it. She also said that the snacks in our house are good.
I ate it, and I ate quite a few." Ning Xin felt quite good when she mentioned this.
In the past, the compliments given by some noble ladies were just polite, but Sister Jinyan seems to really like her.
Princess Ning probably understands that her daughter is more simple-minded and won't talk nonsense.
Princess Ning frowned, a little dissatisfied.
When Zhan Ning did this, didn't this put Ning Xin in a difficult position? When Ning Xin invited her, didn't she put herself in Zhan Ning's shoes?
If she doesn't like Miss Gu, she can cause trouble elsewhere, not here.
Princess Ning looked at her daughter. She originally wanted to give some advice, but hesitated for a moment and did not say anything. Ning Xin, a child, could tell right from wrong, so she didn't need any special instructions from them.
"What kind of competition is it?" Princess Ning asked.
This matter has already happened, and Princess Ning has to arrange it.
The old lady beside Ning Xin explained the details.
Princess Ning also breathed a sigh of relief: "Mrs. Zhenbei's daughter is actually very smart, which sounds quite impressive compared to the audition. In this case, let's arrange a place, and also say something to the male family members by the way.
, you can also participate if you are willing."
It is estimated that this banquet in their family is a rare event in several years.
At first she was dissatisfied and unhappy.
Princess Ning's thoughts changed when she heard that she was not being judged by anyone but her piano skills.
One is a young lady from the Gu Mansion, and the other is a princess from the Prince Zhan Mansion.
