"Not only is it heroic, but it is also free and unrestrained. It is the happiest life when you are free and unfettered."
Ruan Mianmian felt this, and the little breast dumpling seemed like a gray-haired old man speaking the true meaning of life.
After hearing this, everyone thought about it carefully and felt that Ruan Mianmian's description was too apt. Isn't this the state of mind I felt when I listened to her playing and singing just now?
"Little baby, the music and lyrics are all your own creations, right? It's really good, so good!" Ji Chang looked excited, and his tone was not questioning but affirming.
"Grandpa Ji, no, I really didn't create it." Ruan Mianmian scratched his little head.
Oops, I just wanted to be brilliant, but I forgot to arrange a reasonable origin for this piece of music. How should I answer it now? Ruan Mianmian thought in her heart.
"No need to be humble." Ji Chang admired Ruan Mianmian more and more. There were too many people who were arrogant and self-reliant on their talents.
The emperor suddenly interrupted: "Mianmian, what's the name of the song?"
"Swordsman." Ruan Mianmian blurted out.
After finishing his words, Ruan Mianmian lowered his head helplessly as he looked at the proud look on the emperor's face. The more he wiped it, the darker his face became. He couldn't tell clearly.
"Look, you said you didn't create it yourself?" Ji Chang stared at Ruan Mianmian as if he were staring at a rare treasure, "Mianmian, who was your enlightenment teacher?"
"I don't have a master, my grandfather taught me personally." Ruan Mianmian told the truth.
The emperor saw Taifu Ji's intention, and his old habit of cherishing talents as much as his own life had returned. However, this talent was not the other's wealth, and he cherished talents.
Taifu Ji smiled and asked: "Then have you read the Four Books and Five Classics?"
"I've seen it before."
"Mianmian!"
Ruan Geng stopped him at the same time, but unfortunately Ruan Mianmian was quick to speak. When he heard Ji Chang and the emperor laughing, he could only sigh.
"Okay, no need to say more." The emperor stood up, "I announce that the first place is Ruan Mianmian, Princess Linglong."
The Marquis of Ding'an and his wife looked at each other, it seemed that the continuous light could not be hidden, good luck or misfortune?
After Duyouwu returned to its original owner, Prince Jing's palace did not break his promise and immediately presented the colorful glass order. The emperor also did not break his promise. He had already sent people back to the palace to bring a crystal eight-treasure necklace and even put it on the little breast dumpling himself.
In less than a minute, the news that "Princess Linglong is a genius proficient in music" spread throughout the capital.
From the imperial court to folk teahouses and academies, people are studying her song "Swordsman". Those who can recognize a few words are eager to pass it around and work hard to learn to sing it.
The emperor took Li Ling and Li Yu back to the palace. Before leaving, he touched Ruan Mianmian's little head and told her to come to the palace in a few days.
"Yes, I would like to send you my best regards, your Majesty, your Royal Highness, and my eldest princess."
Ruan Mianmian followed the others and knelt down. The moment she lowered her head, she keenly noticed that Eunuch Kang, who was following the emperor, had some difficulty with his legs and feet.
Keeping this in mind, Ruan Mianmian planned to bring something to Eunuch Kang when he went back to the palace next time, which would be considered a return favor.
If the ladies here today are here to demonstrate their piano skills and increase their social status, then you gentlemen are here with other purposes.
Many of them were attracted to Li Ling. She was the emperor's only legitimate daughter. She was currently in her prime of life and was not yet married. If she became the consort, it would bring huge benefits to the individual and the family.
I never thought that Li Ling had an ordinary appearance, was arrogant and unreasonable, and what made people shy away the most was her brain. Not to mention offending Prince Jing's Palace and Ding'an Palace, she was not as favored as Princess Linglong in front of the emperor.
Li Ling never expected that because of this piano art competition, which was passed down from one person to another, it would cause many difficulties in her marriage. Of course, this is a story later.
The emperor returned to the palace, and the others dispersed one after another. Chen Wanyu and Qin Ruolan ran very fast with their tails on their tails, fearing that Mrs. Ruan or Ruan Mianmian might want to settle accounts with them.
The Ruan family and Taifu Ji's grandparents were invited by Prince Jing and Princess Jing to the hall to drink tea and reminisce about the past.
A person must be brave enough to take responsibility. Ruan Mianmian thought that it was better to tell Grandma Yuan clearly about some things in person. Besides, the colorful glass was too hot for her to hold, so it was better not to use it.
Everyone sat down and exchanged greetings. Several elders talked about what had just happened, and we had a great time chatting with each other.
Ji Ji was very close to Ruan Mianmian, and she seemed to have found a close friend. Xiao Naituanzi also had a good impression of her. In addition, because of Taifu Ji, the two of them became more and more attracted to each other as they chatted.
"We are full of distinguished guests, where is Li Wang? Why don't you come out to meet the guests?" Prince Jing Li Shen suddenly remembered that he had not seen his grandson until now.
Princess Jing Yuan Xia said angrily: "Who knows where he went? I haven't seen him anywhere today."
"It's my daughter-in-law's fault. She didn't pay attention to Li Wang when she was busy. I guess he left the house for something." After Jiang Shuyun finished speaking, she lowered her head in shame.
"It's not all your fault." Yuan Xia turned to Ruan Geng and his wife and hesitated.
Everyone present could see that Princess Jing had something to say and was waiting for her to speak. She looked embarrassed and was speechless for a long time but could not explain the reason.
Mrs. Ruan took the initiative to speak: "We have known each other for decades, so if you have anything to say, please speak directly."

Ruan Jin left but Ruan Xiao stayed. Yuan Xia turned to the three Ruan brothers and said, "These children are also very good. They are completely different from the useless ones in my family."
The more Mrs. Ruan listened, the more confused she became: "You have always been straightforward, but when did you start to beat around the bush?"
"Wenjun." Princess Jing suddenly called.
Mrs. Ruan was moved. Her surname was Wen, and her single name was Jun. "Wenjun" was her maiden name, which sounded particularly cordial to her.
"No one has called me by my given name in decades, Yuan Xia." Mrs. Ruan said with emotion.
Ji Chang laughed loudly: "What happened decades ago, you two are now great-grandmothers, let the past be bygones."
"Who said we can't let go of the past?" Princess Jing and Mrs. Ruan retorted in unison.
Ji Chang shrank his neck and said, "That's what I said wrong. It's not that you can't let go of the past, but you can't let go of your dignity."
"Nonsense." They both said in unison again. After saying this, they couldn't help but cover their mouths and laughed together.
King Jing Li Shen and Queen Ruan Geng of Ding'an were very happy to hear this. Over the years, they secretly cherished each other, but on the surface they did not dare to interact too much because of their respective wives. Now everything is over.
"Yuan Xia, if you have anything to say, we and I will help you if we can." Mrs. Ruan said generously.
"Sister Wen, Brother Ruan, and Yuan Xia want to ask you for something."
"Don't ask for help. The three of us have been friends for decades. If you have anything to say, you can tell me." Ruan Geng said.
"Your Majesty." Yuan Xia turned to Li Shen as if to ask for his opinion.
"I know, Grandma Yuan, what you are talking about is not about your grandson, is it?"
"That's right, it's Li Wang's business." This chapter has been completed!
