Everyone fixed their eyes on the person, and their eyes were full of amazement.
"Miss, you surprised all the people this time!" Qinghuan followed Song Tangyi excitedly and straightened up.
"Of course!" said Song Tangyi with a faint smile on her face.
Her eyes and brows were even more eye-catching. She was not suitable to be dressed like a cold fairy at all. Wearing plain clothes covered her advantages. On the contrary, her bright dressing could fully show her advantages.
"Is that Song Tangyi?"
"It seems to be true."
"Why is she different today? Didn't she like to learn from Qinglan the most in the past? Why did she change today?"
"In fact, she looks much better now."
A lady was straightforward and told the truth.
Shen Qinglan's decent smile almost made a crack.
She invited Song Tangyi today to make a fool of her, not show off.
'Wait and see, Song Tangyi! I've found Mr. Qi. Let's see how I can tear up your mask!'
After thinking for a while, Shen Qinglan stood up with a smile and walked gracefully towards Song Tangyi.
"Tangyi, you are finally here. We are all waiting for you."
Facing Shen Qinglan's fake enthusiasm, Song Tangyi raised the corners of her mouth, intending to repay her with more enthusiasm.
She reached out and held her wrist and said affectionately, "Really? I thought you didn't like me very much, and you were not very close to me at normal times. I was happy for a long time when I got the invitation!"
At first, there was nothing wrong with her words, but when she thought it over carefully, she felt that something was wrong.
On the surface, Shen Qinglan was warm and gentle to Song Tangyi, but she isolated herself with other ladies behind her. That was why she said such flattering words.
Shen Qinglan also gradually came to her senses and quickly added, "I thought you didn't like to get along with us because I see your cold face."
In a few words, she wronged her. Beautiful!
"It seems that I made you misunderstand me. You also know that my mother is gone, and my father and brother are far away in the border area. I'm alone. Seeing that you are particularly popular, I want to learn from you. I didn't expect that you would misunderstand me."
She smiled apologetically at the noble girls. The bright and beautiful woman was not lofty, but showed such an expression. The ladies couldn't help but feel sympathy for her.
Although she was the apple of the eye in the general's house, she stayed at home all year round. Even on New Year's Day, she was cold and pitiful.
"Miss Song, if you want to make friends, just tell us. We all want to hear something interesting about the borderland!"
It was the straightforward lady again.
Shen Qinglan glanced at the lady unhappily. She was just the daughter of the vice-minister. She would never be allowed to enter the Shen family again.
Song Tangyi looked at her quietly and walked towards the crowd with a smile.
Shen Qinglan, who used to be a famous star, became a foil because of the Song Tangyi, and she had to smile to cater to the funny stories of the border area of Song Tangyi.
It was boring at all! Her purpose today was to ruin the reputation of Song Tangyi, not to make her more popular.
However, the ladies were very interested in it. They kept her talking, but Song Tangyi felt thirsty and interrupted the story meeting in the end.
"It's boring for you to sit here. I've prepared the four arts for you to help you get rid of the boredom and bless my grandmother. What do you think?"
As soon as this proposal was proposed, it was approved by all the ladies.
Madame Shen's birthday party was on the surface, but inside it was a stage for many ladies to show their talents.
Today, Madam Shen had invited many officials' families, and many of them had unmarried children. If someone could look at them today, it would be fate.
Looking at the confident eyes of Shen Qinglan, Song Tangyi smiled faintly and said, "You are so talented. You will be on the stage soon. We will feel ashamed of ourselves."
"What are you talking about, Tangyi? You are the most talented woman in the capital."
Song Tangyi was disgusted by what Shen Qinglan said against her will. She smiled and said modestly.
This birthday party was held separately for men and women, but everyone could see them if they performed their talents and went onto the stage.
Outstanding or humiliated.
Noticing that Shen Qinglan peeped at her from time to time, Song Tangyi took a sip of the fruit wine and quietly watched the ladies' performance.
Until the ladies almost finished their performance, only she and Shen Qinglan were left, and the latter looked at her.
"Do you want to go on the stage? If so, I won't fight with you." Shen Qinglan smiled gently, and her delicate voice sounded considerate to others.
However, in her heart, Song Tangyi knew very well that Shen Qinglan had long known that she was not a talented woman. If she was forced to fight, she would most likely refuse. Then, she would perform first to impress the crowd.
Her embarrassment could wholly set off Shen Qinglan.
Huh! I would let you get what you want for the time being and see who will be the winner later.
"No need. I didn't prepare anything, so I won't fight for the limelight. Sister Qinglan is proficient in lyre playing, chess, calligraphy and painting. Let's open our eyes."
When spoken, she smiled, and her eyes were still a little erratic.
Seeing this, Shen Qinglan thought that she was pretending.
"Then I'll go to prepare." Shen Qinglan didn't refuse her. She had prepared for today's performance for a long time and was determined to win the reputation of the most talented woman in the capital city.
More importantly, Mu Chenyan was also there.
Song Tangyi smiled and watched her leave. Soon, the melodious music came from the stage, curling up, intoxicating.
It was as if she was telling a sad and beautiful story, immersing people in it.
"Chenyan, Miss Shen is getting better and better at playing."
Beside Mu Chenyan, the crown prince in a white robe looked at him with admiration.
Looking at the figure on the high platform, Mu Chenyan said calmly, "She had made progress."
His cold attitude made Mu Yuzhi a little helpless. "You!"
Everyone was still immersed in this sad and euphemistic story at the end of the song.
Shen Qinglan was particularly satisfied with her performance. Seeing that Song Tangyi was still calm, she came up with a plan and shouted, "I heard that Song Tangyi's musical skill is also excellent. I wonder if we are lucky enough to listen to you play today?"
Song Tangyi smiled and came.
"OK!"
She stood up with a smile. "My music skills are far from being as proficient as that of Sister Qinglan. Today, I will make a fool of myself."
Then she gracefully stepped onto the high platform. Her red dress attracted everyone's attention.
Sitting in front of the table, she looked at everyone with a smile, and then her eyes became cold. She gently touched her fingers.
The vibrant and influential music flowed out, like golden iron, horses, mountains and rivers, fighting everywhere.
As the music rose and fell, everyone became nervous, as if they had watched a cruel battle.
Suddenly, the music turned desolate and euphemistic, as if it was telling the story of the family breaking up after the war.
All the people present were worried.
