Moge mentioned singing, and seeing that no one responded, he stood up and said to Shen Meimei:

"Could you please ask Concubine Hui to play a piece of music for me, and I will sing a song to add some fun to this family dinner?"

The emperor was a little surprised when he heard this.

He didn't expect that the Khan of a country would actually perform on such an occasion.

But since it was Mog who took the initiative to propose it, the emperor couldn't refuse, so he smiled and nodded:

"Okay, I haven't heard Concubine Hui play the piano for a long time. Su Peisheng, let the court musicians put up the piano!"

When Shen Meimei heard that she was going to play the piano, she was stunned.

She secretly groaned in her heart, thinking that she had never learned such a refined art as playing the piano in modern times. Now that she was suddenly asked to play it, wouldn't that be putting it in a difficult position for her?

Shen Meimei quickly evaded the question:

"Your Majesty, I haven't played for a long time, and my skills must have become rusty. Let the court musicians accompany Mog Khan!"

Mog joked:

"Empress Huifei, playing the zither is all about your mood. You can do it at will. You don't need any advanced skills. Music can cultivate your sentiments. I sang this song just to thank you, Empress!"

The emperor then realized that Moge's singing to liven up the atmosphere was fake, and it was actually for his woman, Concubine Hui.

He was unhappy about how his woman was coveted by other men.

Seeing that the emperor was in a bad mood, Prince Guo knew what was going on. He stood up, picked up the flute he carried with him, and started playing it to entertain his friends. Moge turned around and saw Prince Guo, nodded slightly, and then started singing.

He sang the free and easy songs of the grassland, which sounded like nature and were full of masculine grandeur.

Shen Meimei didn't dare to look at Moge's fiery eyes. She lowered her head and whispered in the emperor's ear:

"Your Majesty, Mog's song is so high-pitched and full of masculine energy. As the saying goes, softness overcomes hardness. Why don't you ask Sister An to sing a song for you? It will also let Mog know that a woman in our Qing Dynasty can sing very well."

The emperor heard this and waved his hand:

"It's a pity that An's voice is damaged and he can no longer sing beautiful songs!"

Shen Meimei quickly explained:

"Your Majesty, I have cured Sister An's voice. The last time I returned to the palace, I went to the Yanxi Palace. Sister An's voice has recovered 80%. Today, she can sing better than Mog Khan.

Your Majesty, please give me a token, and I will go and greet my sister right away."

After Mog finished singing, the emperor applauded and praised, "You sang very well. I didn't expect that Mog Khan was not only good at fighting, but also sang so beautifully!"

"The Emperor of the Qing Dynasty is too kind. Every adult man in Junggar can sing. This is especially true when they see a girl they like!" Moge simply changed the topic. He just wanted to sing for Shen Meimei.

The emperor did not respond, but said that there was a "lady with wonderful voice" in his harem who was also good at singing and could sing a song to liven up the family banquet.

In the Yanxi Palace, An Lingrong was doing handicrafts under the lamp. Since she was confined to her room, she had been embroidering every day, wanting to make more clothes for the three children, Princess Jinghe, Hongzhan and Lingxi.

She thought to herself that doing more would help alleviate the guilt in her heart.

Shen Meimei hurried into the Yanxi Palace with the emperor's token. Seeing An Lingrong still embroidering, she stepped forward and pulled her up:

"Get up quickly and change your clothes to attend the party!"

An Lingrong was surprised. "Sister Mei, I am still under house arrest. How can I go out to attend the banquet?"
