After the eldest daughter was reborn, the whole family knelt down and begged for forgiveness

Lin Shaojin knew better than anyone that Xiao Yunni didn't like things like music, chess, calligraphy and painting.

But no one would have expected that Xiao Yunni had made so many efforts in secret for this imperial concubine selection, and she made a splash at today's banquet.

Does this mean... Xiao Yunni didn't attend the concubine selection banquet because of the bet yesterday, and she actually has him in her heart?

Lin Shaojin wanted to go to Xiao Yunni and tell her how surprised he was, but with the stream between them and in front of so many people, Lin Shaojin could only suppress the undercurrent in his heart for the time being...

Let’s not talk about Lin Shaojin. After Xiao Yunni finished her piano music, the surroundings suddenly became quiet and the expressions of two people became very ugly.

One is Ning Moyu, the other is Mu Xingyun...

It was not known whether it was because he was surprised by Xiao Yunni's exquisite piano skills or for some other reason, but Mu Xingyun, who had always hit the target before, looked dazed after hearing Xiao Yunni's piano playing, and the arrow in his hand missed the target!

Almost at the same time, Lin Xun shot out three arrows at once, hitting the bull's eye...

This competition was what Mu Xingyun had always dreamed of. He was competing openly in front of everyone, but he didn't expect to lose before the fight even started... How could Mu Xingyun accept this!

"I was distracted just now. Your Majesty, let's compete again."

At this time, Lin Xun just said calmly: "General Mu, I am willing to accept the defeat."

Mu Xingyun hated Lin Xun's nonchalant expression at this moment.

Obviously, he had already trampled Lin Xun into the mud, so why could he still get up?

But Lin Xun had already handed the bow and arrow in his hand to the guard beside him, and it was obvious that he had no intention of going into the battle again.

Mu Xingyun's cold eyes passed over Lin Xun and looked at Xiao Xuetang beside the Phoenix Terrace...

He suspected that Xiao Xuetang did it on purpose.

Making him realize that Xiao Yunni was different was hinting to him that everything was not under his control.

Really?

Thinking of this, a hint of subtlety flashed across Mu Xingyun's eyes, and after a moment he told the guards around him a few words...

Here at the Phoenix Terrace, Xiao Yunni made a stunning debut in an unexpected way, and the Queen was also a little surprised.

But after all, the rest hasn't started yet, so the Queen doesn't think Xiao Yunni will win...

"Let Ning Moyu take the stage next."

The Ning family of Lanxi is a family of scholars. Ning Moyu has been carefully cultivated by the family since she was a child. She is best at playing the zither, chess, calligraphy and painting. The one who bets on it is Wang Luoluo to win, but she wants to use Ning Moyu to slap Xiao Xuetang in the face!

Who would have thought that Ning Moyu, who was so active just now, would hesitate when she heard the Queen's order, and said, "Your Majesty, your servant..."

Seeing Ning Moyu's hesitation, the princess thought she was nervous, so she smiled and said, "Moyu, your piano skills have always been very good, don't be afraid."

Seeing that the Queen and the Princess said so, Ning Moyu could only suppress the trembling in his heart and walk to the piano.

She just plucked a few notes, and then there was a "clang" sound, and the strings broke.

The strings were made of extremely hard ice string silk. The sound of the strings breaking directly cut into Ning Moyu's palm, and blood dripped on it...

A good competition ended in bloodshed. Even the queen's expression changed slightly and she asked, "What's going on?"

"Someone tampered with the piano, causing the strings to break and injuring Sister Ning's hand..."

The person who spoke was no one else but a woman dressed in Haitang brocade clothes, looking dazzling.

She looks no more than twenty years old, with a pretty face, and has the graceful elegance of a Jiangnan woman, yet is also charming and affectionate.

The person who spoke was none other than Zheng Shu, who had always been on good terms with Ning Moyu!

In the previous life, after Lin Shaoshu ascended the throne, in order to win over the southern clans, he made Zheng Shu a concubine.

At that time, Zheng Shu was bewitched by Ye Jin and colluded with him in the harem. She seemed to be aloof and noble, but in fact, she was quite scheming...

In the first life, Xiao Xuetang suppressed her with force; in the second life, Zheng Shu and Ye Jin caused a lot of trouble in the palace. Even Concubine Zheng died because of Zheng Shu. Ye Jin was all-powerful in the harem, but only Zheng Shu, the most favored one, was safe and sound. It can be seen that his methods were extraordinary.

At this time, Zheng Shu cried out in a low voice, and everyone gasped. Wang Luoluo was immediately filled with righteous indignation and said, "Today, in the Phoenix Forest competition, in front of the Queen and the Princess, someone actually tried to win with such vicious means. It is shocking to hear about it. Please, Your Majesty, find out the murderer and give Miss Ning justice."

After the words fell, the noble ladies who came to Kyoto from other places said one after another: "This is our first time in the palace. We are unfamiliar with the place. It is definitely not us..."

It was obvious that the target was directed at the noble ladies of Kyoto!

Of course, the noble ladies of Kyoto were angry and said, "Don't give me that. We in Kyoto have a deep foundation in piano art. We are much better than you country bumpkins..."

Wang Luoluo and the others' faces changed drastically: "Who do you say is a country bumpkin?"

The already delicate relationship between the noble ladies in Kyoto and the daughters of prominent families was instantly brought to the forefront because of Ning Moyu's injury.

Just as the dispute between the two sides was about to break out and they seemed to have no intention of continuing the competition, the queen looked at Xiao Xuetang who was sitting beside her and asked, "What do you think about this matter?"

Seeing that the Queen actually asked about Xiao Xuetang, everyone mistakenly thought that the Queen was biased towards her, and they all said angrily: "Your Majesty, the one who benefited from this competition was Xiao Yunni, and even Xiao Xuetang was betting on Xiao Yunni to win just now... I think they must have done this."

"Yes, Xiao Xuetang is now the regent princess. Although she will not participate in the competition, the one who benefits is Xiao Yunni..."

"Now that the Xiao family has fallen, do they want to raise their status by marrying their two daughters into the royal family?"

Suspicions were heard everywhere, the atmosphere became increasingly tense, and the sisters Xiao Xuetang and Xiao Yunni instantly became the targets of everyone's attacks!

Xiao Yunni...

She just made a bet, how did she become a murderer?

At this moment, a cold voice suddenly sounded: "Shut up! How can you accuse someone without any evidence?"

The person who spoke was none other than Lin Shaojin.

Lin Shaojin and the others noticed that the atmosphere here was not right, so they rushed over and saw that Xiao Xuetang and Xiao Yunni were being attacked and besieged by the noble ladies.

This……

It's really not surprising at all!

Although Xiao Xuetang was not among the women participating in the election this time, Lin Shaojin had a premonition that based on Xiao Xuetang's physique that easily attracted blood and gore, Qushui Liuhu would definitely not be peaceful this time.

Sure enough.

Xiao Xuetang has Lin Xun's support behind her. Even if she pokes a hole in the sky of Jiufan Mountain this time, her uncle can fill it up.

It’s just that Lin Shaojin didn’t want Xiao Yunni to be involved, and more importantly, Xiao Yunni had a great chance of winning this round!

He must help Xiao Yunni get this phoenix flower.

Therefore, this is why Lin Shaojin's actions this time were faster than Lin Xun and everyone else's...

Lin Shaojin had just stopped those who were randomly suspecting Xiao Xuetang and Xiao Yunni, when Zheng Shu suddenly spoke softly, "Cousin, we are not without evidence, but have reasonable speculations. It is even more unfair for you to defend them at this time."

Zheng Shu's words immediately added fuel to the fire. Ning Moyu, who had finally stopped bleeding, suddenly turned ferocious and strange...

"Xiao Xuetang, you are plotting against me again. I will fight you..."

She came to Kyoto this time just to become a princess. If she fails, she will die. If she fails, she will definitely hold the culprit responsible...

perish together!
