Chapter 488 Clumsy Means
After a while, the melodious sound of the piano slowly spread, like injecting a pool of clear water into the heat of the hall.
Shen Jingzhen's gaze fell on Shen Jingyu with resentment in her eyes.
She really didn't understand why her sister was still unwilling to give up even though she was in such a state.
Is the Eighth Prince's wife so attractive?
Why did she have to flirt in front of so many people...
As her lower abdomen gradually showed some changes, Shen Jingzhen's temper became worse and worse. After all, this kind of thing could not be kept secret. If someone found out, she was afraid that she would be completely ruined.
But now it's the end of the year and Brother Feng is very busy. Although she was afraid of being discovered, she was more anxious to meet Brother Feng.
Looking at the veil on Shen Jingyu's face, Shen Jingzhen felt even more depressed.
She had seen it several times before and found that the wounds on her face had almost healed. However, she hated the long scar on her face, which could not be removed. She could only cover it up with layer after layer of makeup.
But her grandmother and mother were extremely partial, and neither of them told her how to restore her appearance.
Thinking of this, Shen Jingzhen hated Shen Jingyu even more.
But it doesn’t matter, she wants to see how embarrassing it will be for her in this hall!
The sound of the piano lingered in the air. Shen Jingyu's piano skills were indeed quite good. Even though she had injured her hand twice, she had practiced hard, and now it sounded pretty good.
Concubine Jing's expression was unpredictable, and she couldn't show any emotion at all.
Ever since the last incident, she had hoped that Shen Jingyu would be more sensible and take the initiative to find someone to marry, or shave her head to become a nun.
At worst, if she is willing to leave Beijing and avoid the limelight, she doesn't mean she must die.
But Shen Jingyu was so ignorant. She had given her so much time, but now she had to do it in front of everyone even with a veil on.
As for that face... she didn't think she could recover...
If such a person were to marry Yuncheng, it would be a disgrace to him!
At this moment, butterflies suddenly flew from the sky above the hall. More than ten colorful butterflies of various colors fluttered their wings, circled down, and surrounded Shen Jingyu.
"Mom, look, a butterfly!" A young boy couldn't help but speak first.
Xiao Hongyan, who was eating with his mouth full of oil, also widened his eyes: "How can there be butterflies in such a cold weather?"
For a moment, everyone started talking in low voices.
"I didn't expect Shen Jingyu's piano music could attract butterflies."
"Look, there's a magpie! It's landed on the beam..."
"Really? I said this piece of music is good, but I didn't expect it to be able to communicate with spirits! I've heard that music can attract all kinds of beasts, but I didn't expect to see it today!"
Many people in the hall became excited, as if they thought it was a kind of wonder.
Shen Shuyi was also stunned for a moment. He really didn't expect that Shen Jingyu would use such a - clumsy method.
It seems that she really wants to carry out the term "attracting bees and butterflies" to the end.
However, it must be said that Shen Jingyu's piano skills are indeed good, at least in this hall today, she ranks among the top few.
The Queen Mother nodded slightly: "Your sister is indeed quite good. She plays the piano very well."
Shen Shuyi said respectfully: "Although Shuyi did not grow up with her sister, she knows that she has always been hardworking and never slacked off."
Hearing this, the Queen Mother asked, "What do you think about marrying your eldest sister to the Eighth Prince?"
When Concubine Jing heard this, she clenched the handkerchief in her hand a little tighter.
She was not very close, but she could barely hear the Queen Mother's questions.
Shen Shuyi smiled and replied, "Your Highness is elegant and handsome, and you are a rare talent. My sister is both talented and beautiful, and she is both virtuous and talented. You are a good match for her. However, Shuyi does not understand the word love yet. I think you and Your Majesty need to understand it."
Concubine Jing felt a little relieved and her impression of Shen Shuyi improved a little.
At this moment, off the stage, Shen Jingzhen was looking at her sister who was stealing the show on the stage, and she was so angry that she broke two of her nails.
She asked why she kept her sleeves held up and didn't let her get close.
The same thing happened to her two maids. Did they hide the butterfly inside?
Otherwise, in this freezing cold weather, even if the charcoal fire in the hall burns brightly, it will be impossible for a butterfly to appear!
Shen Jingyu, don't be so proud.
You ruined my marriage, but I won't let you succeed!
At this moment, there was a buzzing sound!
Suddenly, one of Shen Jingyu's strings broke, the sound of the piano stopped abruptly, and the hall suddenly became quiet.
Shen Jingzhen curled the corners of her lips, feeling happy.
She had been keeping an eye on Shen Jingyu for some time, originally wanting to see how she healed the wound on her face, but unexpectedly she discovered that she had been practicing the piano.
Although she couldn't figure out what she was going to do, she cut her two strings before today.
The strings of the zither seemed to be about to break. As long as she played for a while, they would naturally break one after another. She wanted to see how she would end!
Shen Jingyu's face was stiff, and she quickly skipped that string and continued.
But not long after, the same buzzing sound was heard again, and Shen Jingyu's face under the veil suddenly became hideous!
Damn!
Damn it!
Who is harming her?
Old Madam Qin was so furious that her hand holding the wine glass began to tremble with anger.
You have to know how much she paid in order to make Jingyu famous today and regain her reputation.
But how...how come...
Shen Shuyi chuckled, glanced between Lou Yulan and Shen Jingzhen, and roughly guessed who had done it.
Princess Yuanxia glanced at the butterflies still hovering around Shen Jingyu, smiled and said in a crisp voice: "I have long heard that those who are skilled in music can control all kinds of beasts. I never thought that today Miss Shen would let me see this skill of attracting butterflies."
Although these words were spoken frankly and directly, they left Shen Jingyu completely humiliated.
The faces of Daqian's courtiers were not very good either. After all, if your strings are broken, then it is broken. At most, it can be said that your skills are not as good as others.
But even though your strings are broken, butterflies and magpies are still circling around you. Isn't that ridiculous?
Isn't it shameful to commit fraud in front of the enemy country?
The Queen Mother was also unhappy and waved her hand, saying, "Forget it, since it's bad luck, then leave."
Shen Jingyu dug her hands into her nails tightly. No one knew how much effort she had put in and how much pain she had endured in order to reach her original level since she injured her hand.
But...why did it fail at the last moment?
That position...is it really just a luxury?
The corners of Shen Jingyu's eyes turned red, and she looked upward unwillingly.
But it was this one glance that allowed her to see her noble and beautiful sister, Shen Shuyi, standing beside the empress dowager.
Shen Jingyu was in a trance for a moment, looking at the rare and winding hairpin on her head, the girl's calm and composed appearance, and the empress dowager's respect and trust in her.
Shen Jingyu was a little confused.
When did her sister, who came from a humble background and grew up in the countryside, actually stand at a height that she needed to look up to!
At this time, Princess Yuanxia stepped forward with a smile: "This princess also happens to be an expert in this art. I can control tigers with my music. Please allow me to compete with Miss Shen!"
