Ji Yu Qing confidently puffed up her chest, fingers softly strumming the strings, the hall fell silent instantly, everyone's attention fell on her, this was Ji Yu Qing's first time participating in a palace banquet and she wanted double the glory.
The more she wanted to be outstanding, the more nervous she got, suddenly a breeze came by, a melon seed shell fell exactly on the qin, with an ear piecing ka sound.
Ji Yu Qing heart leapt, flustering to remedy the situation, unconsciously she again played a few wrong notes, the expression on Xiao Yi Mo's face sank as he sat high up on the dragon throne, the beautiful sound of the qin had come to a grinding stop...
Ji Yu Qing panicked looking down at her own hands, she didn't know why she had just made a mistake and played such an unpleasant sound, she had been playing the qin for tens of years, she had thought she would be able to display her elegance today.
"Your majesty please be lenient!" Alarmed, JI Yu Qing knelt on the floor kowtowing for forgiveness, agitating his majesty was a huge offense.
Xiao Yi Mo frowned in displeasure, he had thought this imperial concubine of Xiao Yi Chen was interesting, it wasn't expected that she would not be able to be presented in public, it was only playing the qin in front of a hundred or so people, she lost her composure in such a way.
Ji Yu Qing nervously knelt as she thought of a way to remedy the situation, out of the corner of her eye she glanced at the melon shells in front of Ji Ling Xue, suddenly she felt angry, if it wasn't for Ji Ling Xue's melon seed shells, she wouldn't have played wrong and agitated his majesty, this was all because of Ji Ling Xue.

Xiao Yi Chen stood up speaking on behalf of Ji Yu Qing: "My lowly imperial concubine is untalented, agitated your majesty, imperial brother please forgive me."
Xiao Yi Chen waved his hand: "It's nothing, it's the first time prince Chen's imperial concubine participated in a palace banquet, it's hard not to be nervous, we won't fault anyone just because of such a small matter."
Ji Yu Qing rushed to thank the emperor, following which she said: "My untalented self has incurred your majesty's ridicule, my older sister's qin skills are not bad either, why not let her play the qin to liven things up."
This was her putting Ji Ling Xue in the firing line, she was just holding a cup of tea taking a sip, on hearing what was said she calmly put the teacup down to look at Xiao Yi Chen who didn't look too well, she raised her lips into a mocking smile.
Ji Ling Xue: Xiao Yi Chen, aren't you regretting bringing Ji Yu Qing into the palace?
Xiao Yi Chen had a massive headache at this moment, he didn't know whether Ji Ling Xue could play the qin, he really regretted bringing Ji Yu Qing into the palace, it's fine if they thought openly and acted against each other in the residence, but pitting against each other in front of the emperor, he was clearly going to lose face.
Xiao Yi Mo made an oh sound, his gaze swept over Ji Ling Xue wearing the princess outfit, he smiled saying: "Imperial brother, you always hide your princess away, you won't even allow us to hear her qin playing today?"
Xiao Yi Chen struggled to speak, Xiao Yi Mo was fully aware Ji Ling Xue could not play the qin yet he said this, he wanted to mock him in front of everyone for marrying a fool.
Ji Ling Xue patted her hands of imaginary dust, under everyone's focus she stood up, turning her head to look at Xiao Yi Mo who sat up on high watching the show.
Ji Ling Xue said: "Your majesty, it's mid-autumn festival today, I have indeed prepared a song to dedicate to you, only my qin requires a dancer to accompany it, my sister and I grew up together, and have a rather good understanding of each other, let younger sister accompany me."
Ji Yu Qing felt like she had swallowed a fly, she actually wanted her to dance with her, why?
Recalling this was the palace, the emperor was still watching over, she didn't dare rush, she only modestly said: "What song does older sister plan to play, younger sister can also prepare."
Apart from the qin, Ji Yu Qing was gifted in dancing since young, her mother especially invited the most talented teachers to instruct her, thus Ji Yu Qing happily agreed to be Ji Ling Xue's partner, this time she will definitely perform well.
Ji Yu Qing confidently puffed up her chest, fingers softly strumming the strings, the hall fell silent instantly, everyone's attention fell on her, this was Ji Yu Qing's first time participating in a palace banquet and she wanted double the glory.
