As expected, Murong Yu came out on top and won the competition.

All the princes stood in front of the Holy Emperor and bowed in salute.

The Holy Master was polite and said: "Today it is A Yu who wins the first prize again. You all must learn from A Yu."

"What my father said is that the fourth brother is the most proficient in martial arts and archery among all our brothers. Naturally, we must learn from the fourth brother." Murong Ye said with a strange expression.

Murong Yu looked down upon his behavior and mocked: "I'm afraid my second brother can't learn it. I learned all my skills from the battlefield. If you want to learn, just go to the battlefield like me and fight with me." The enemy fights with each other, and one learns skills from the light of sword and shadow."

"Fourth brother, according to what you say, it's time for my eldest brother to go to the battlefield and gain some experience."

"There is no need for my brother to go to the battlefield. I will block the sword for him. You should just worry more about yourselves!"

Murong Yi glanced at him and said, "Say less!"

Murong Yu truly inherited the temperament of His Majesty. The father and son disliked each other. "Don't say a few words! Every time you brothers meet, you always have a few quarrels. You are brothers, can't you get along well with each other?"

"Who is his biological brother? My biological brother is the royal brother. They are just concubines, and they still want to compare with us? How long have the concubines in this palace been confused? If this continues, my father will not even think about it. How can you still Can you govern the whole Daqi well?"

"Presumptuous! You are becoming more and more unruly now. How dare you talk to me like this?"

Murong Yi quickly advised: "Father, calm down, A Yu didn't mean it. A Yu, please stop saying a few words."

"Since my father doesn't like my son, I'll resign first. I don't want you to get angry when you see my son. I resign!" After Murong Yu finished speaking, he bowed and left the school grounds.

Murong Yi couldn't stop him, so he could only say good things for him, "Father, calm down, A Yuxu has something important to do."

"What important thing could he have? Don't cover up for him." Although the Holy Emperor was dissatisfied with Murong Yu, he never punished him. Murong Yi and Murong Yu were both his legitimate sons, and he had high hopes for them. In the future, when Murong Yi ascends the throne, Murong Yu will be his right-hand man. It was also for the purpose of training Murong Yu that the Holy Emperor asked him to go to the northwest and let him visit the battlefield in person and make great military achievements so that he could assist Murong Yi in the future.

The Holy Emperor has never forgotten the difference between concubines and concubines, and the position of prince can only belong to Murong Yi.

Murong Yi naturally knew all this. No matter how unruly Murong Yu was and provoked him again and again, his father could not bear to punish him after all.

Murong Ye and the other princes are not fools, and they see it clearly. No matter how hard they try, their status as concubines will always make them inferior to Murong Yi and Murong Yu.

Soon after, the Queen's birthday banquet.

Lu Wanxi and Lu Yanhua attended with their family members. The two of them sat in the seats at the back, very inconspicuous. But this is exactly what Lu Yanhua wants. He can feel more comfortable without being noticed.

The two of them were still not used to this kind of situation and just wanted it to end as soon as possible. They hurriedly left the palace and went home.

Murong Yu and Murong Yi were sitting together. Murong Yu's eyes were always on the opposite side, looking for Lu Yanhua. Murong Yi saw him stretching his neck and looking across, and asked in a low voice: "What are you doing?"

"I'm looking for Yan Hua. By the way, I can help you find Miss Lu."

Murong Yi tugged on his sleeve and said, "Be honest, today is the queen mother's birthday, and I will give you a congratulatory gift later."

Murong Yu looked casual and said, "It's just a formality. What's the point of coming here once a year?"

"To shut up."

"understood."

Murong Yi took Murong Yu and Princess Anle to send congratulatory gifts first.

"Mother, my sons and ministers congratulate my mother on her everlasting beauty and endless blessings."

"Every year has today, and every year has today."

"Longevity and good health, may you have good luck every year."

"Okay, okay! You are all determined, get up quickly!"

"Thank you, Queen Mother."

The queen doesn't want to celebrate her birthday now. She is getting older, and every birthday is just a reminder to her that she is one year older.

During the dinner, Princess Jingyang played the pipa for the queen and congratulated her on her birthday.

Pipa music, sometimes with rolling clouds and rapid rhythm, sometimes soft and sharp, euphemistic and lingering. The beauty's smile turns into starry eyes, and she is naturally beautiful without any makeup.

Lu Yanhua couldn't help but praise: "I didn't expect that she has such a skill? It's surprising."

"After all, she is also the princess of the royal palace, so she must have some talents." Lu Wanxi said.

"That's true."

The pipa music stopped, and everyone praised him. The Holy Emperor and the Queen both had smiles on their faces, but Murong Yu sneered and said, "It's not that nice either."

"Stop talking." Murong Yi scolded.

The queen smiled and said: "I like this gift from Jingyang very much. Reward it!"

"Thank you Queen Empress."

"Sit down!"

"The Queen, Jingyang heard that Miss Lu, the legitimate daughter of Ning Guogong, is a master of piano skills. Why not let her play a piece of music today to celebrate the Queen's birthday?"

As soon as Princess Jingyang said these words, the whole hall was in an uproar.

Everyone looked at Lu Wanxi, who suddenly became nervous. Lu Yanhua knew that she would not be kind-hearted and dare to be affectionate here.

The queen has never seen any tricks before, so her skills are nothing in front of the queen. But the queen really wanted to see what was so powerful about Lu Wanxi.

"Okay! I have heard for a long time that the legitimate daughter of Ning Guogong is the most talented woman in Yujing. I also want to see if this most talented woman in Yujing is worthy of her name."

At that moment, Murong Yi had the urge to refuse for Lu Wanxi. But reason told him that he couldn't, as this would only make her situation more difficult.

The queen didn't mean to embarrass Lu Wanxi, but sooner or later she would have to bear everyone's attention. Now it's just a matter of adapting in advance, morning and night.

Murong Yu saw Murong Yi's serious expression and asked, "Would you like me to say a few words for her?"

"No, the queen mother did it on purpose. She just wanted her to adapt to it in advance. Besides, her reputation as a talented girl has long been known in Yujing. It's not difficult to just play a piece of music."

Lu Yanhua was extremely nervous, "Sister, are you okay?"

Lu Wanxi looked calm. She had participated in many competitions since she was a child, including piano competitions, dance competitions, and speech and debate competitions. The audience was even larger than now. She has long been used to the attention of everyone.

Lu Hongrui and Lin were also very calm. As parents, they understood their daughter best.

Mrs. Lin turned around and said to her, "Go!"

Lu Wanxi stood up, walked slowly to the center of the hall, saluted the two people in the hall, and then said, "I would like to play a song to celebrate the Queen's birthday."

"Come here, bring me Luqi."

Lu Wanxi is a guqin student, so she naturally knows that this Green Qi is one of the top ten famous guqins in ancient times.

"Thank you, Empress."
