"Thank you for your praise, Young Master Yun." Su Jinyue's attitude was very distant, and she then returned to her own seat.

For a talented girl, no matter how nice the song was, everyone would feel that it was only natural for her to play. That was because she was a talented girl, so it was only natural that she could play the zither.

However, the sudden appearance of such a beautiful tune by a woman who was usually treated like a scarecrow made everyone shocked. Even the Queen looked at Su Jinyue with slight astonishment and smiled, "I didn't expect the Jinyue girl to have such an exquisite zither skill."

"Esteemed Empress is too kind, I'm nothing more than mediocre." Su Jinyue whispered.

On the other side, Su Jinyue had caused everyone to be shocked. On the other side, Su Jin Yue had shocked everyone. You've been in the Su family for so long, even I didn't know that you could actually play the zither.

I'm afraid all of this was planned by you!

As she thought about it, Su Jin Xiu looked at Su Jin Yue with a look of jealousy that she did not even know she had. Looking at Ninth Prince, he was also shocked by one of Su Jinyue's songs and his hatred for her deepened. He grabbed the Ninth Prince's sleeve, tears brimming in his eyes. "I didn't expect my sister's zither skill to be this good."

Su Jin's words also brought the Ninth Prince back to reality. That's right! Su Jinyue had fooled almost everyone in the world! He was really scheming.

Thinking of this, a trace of malice flashed across the Ninth Prince's face. This Su Jinyue, she couldn't stay any longer.

After all, he had obtained the Su Clan's gold, and other than Su Jinyue, no one else knew about this. If it was the Su Jinyue of the past, it would not matter, after all, Su Jinyue loved him, and everything he said would be treated as an imperial edict. But this Su Jinyue in front of him? But it was different!

He thought that he had made up his mind.

Compared to the killing intent of the Ninth Prince, on the other side, Luo Mingyu's heart was filled with tender love. The sadness in this song belonged to her. And she had never told anyone.

Looking at her indifferent expression, Luo Mingyu's heart skipped a beat.

On the other hand, Mo Li, who was beside Su Jinyue, looked at her playfully. Although he knew that Su Jinyue was not simple, he didn't expect her zither skill to be so high. This was beyond his imagination. Furthermore, that 'Twin Twins' … The playfulness in Mo Li's eyes became even more intense as he looked at Yun Kexin thoughtfully.

After Su Jinyue's song, there was no one left to play the zither anymore.

When the Queen saw this, she gave Aunt Ming Zhu a look. Aunt Ming Zhu understood and walked out saying, "Honored guests, the first place of this year's Thousand Autumn Meet is still as usual. Everyone, please throw in a flower."

As he spoke, he saw the palace maids and eunuchs giving each of them a peony. Then a young eunuch wrote down everyone who voted for him. And in the end, the first prize of the peony flower will be given to the person who won first place.

Due to the relationship between Princess Zi Yan and Su Jinyue, there weren't many peony flowers on the side, and Su Jinyue and the Purple Smoke Sovereign were evenly matched.

In the end, both of them had thirty-one peonies. The last of these peonies was in the hands of the Water of Clouds.

For a moment, everyone's eyes fell on Yun Zhishui.

When the empress saw this, she laughed even more heartily. "What a coincidence. To think that the final decision would be to stop the flood. However, this is good too, the zither skill to stop the water is widely acknowledged in the Moon Empire, the person you have chosen, will definitely be able to convince the masses. " There was something in the empress's words.

Naturally, the only person who could convince the masses was Princess Ziyan.

Princess Zi Yan was famous, but Su Jinyue had only played one song. The empress had already said, both in the open and in the dark, who to choose.

When the time came, the clouds would stop the water. Holding the peony in his hand, he seemed to be deep in thought. Then, under the gazes of the crowd, he threw the peony out.

The smile on the empress's face stiffened as she looked at Yun Zuishui and asked, "What do you mean by 'stop the flow of water'?"

Yun Zhishui got up and said, "The zither music cannot be refuted. I am ashamed to have stopped the flow." After which, he left immediately, regardless of whether the crowd could understand what he had said.

The empress's face turned completely black. However, the number one genius still had to be chosen. Just as she was about to speak, she heard Princess Zi Yan say, "Empress, Zi Yan has admitted defeat this time." On the zither, Zi Yan is extremely respectful to the future princess consort. "

When Princess Ziyan said this, the crowd couldn't help praising her for having the bearing of a general. The empress then laughed. "That's true. This year's number one talent, leave it to that girl Jin Yue."

With the empress's words, Aunt Ming Zhu ordered people to gather all the peonies and gave them to Su Jinyue. Su Jinyue raised her eyebrows slightly as she stood up and placed the peony in front of Princess Zi Yan.

"What does that mean?" Princess Zi Yan looked at Su Jinyue with a surprised expression.

When Su Jinyue heard this, she smiled, "Flowers and beauties, Princess Zi Yan humbly gave me the title of number one genius. Then, it's within reason that I should humbly give this peony flower to the princess and repay the favor."

When Su Jinyue's words came out, everyone looked at the two of them with a strange look.

Princess Zi Yan first gave the talented girl to Su Jinyue with a magnanimous attitude, and Su Jinyue gave the peony to Princess Zi Yan.

Didn't this mean that the title of a talented girl was inferior to a bunch of peony flowers?

"Thank you very much." A tranquil smile hung on Princess Ziyan's face, but that smile did not reach her eyes.

The smile on Su Jinyue's face was sweet as well, as if she deserved it. After Zi Yan accepted the peony, she went back to her seat and sat down.

She didn't want to compete with others, but she didn't want to be the one to be the center of attention. Princess Zi Yan's zither music was quite good, but then … The twins were unique to her. No slander is allowed.

Thus, in the depths of her heart, her twin was number one. However, Princess Ziyan's modesty caused her to appear unworthy of her name and to have an attitude of charity. This made her feel extremely unhappy.

This was what happened to the peonies. It was a pity to have these peonies. It was obviously pretty good.

Su Jinyue thought with a regretful look on her face.

No one would have thought that there would be such a huge twist in the competition this time. First, Princess Zi Yan had played the zither twice just to win the favor of the Yun family's young master.

After that was the altruistic Su Jinyue. She had actually managed to make Yun Zhishui sigh in admiration with a single song. After that was the contest between the two talented girls.

This time, the gossip he had gotten was not in vain!

The banquet was still going on in an orderly manner, but at this moment, Su Jinyue no longer had the mood to admire the flowers or eat the feast. One had to know, she had more important things to do.

As she was thinking, Su Jinyue looked at Luo Mingyu, who was looking at Fang Zheng for some unknown reason, and saw that Luo Mingyu was also looking back at her, his lips slightly parted, "Phoenix Forest."

Su Jinyue acted like she was having a headache, "Your Highness, my head is hurting. I'm afraid there are too many people. Can we go and get some fresh air?"

Mo Li almost laughed at the excuse Su Jinyue came up with. This was outside, what was there to breathe? However, Mo Li did not say much. He only said, "Go."

Su Jinyue agreed and quickly left the imperial garden. After Su Jinyue left, she didn't look too good.

Luo Mingyu had only given her the three words' Phoenix Forest ', but she had never been to the Imperial Palace, so how could she know where the' Phoenix Forest 'was?

Thinking this, Su Jinyue couldn't help but feel a little depressed.

"Excuse me, is this Miss Su?" As Su Jinyue stood there in a daze, she heard a high-pitched voice. Hearing her voice, Su Jinyue turned around vigilantly. She looked at the young eunuch who was standing in front of her with a lantern in hand and asked coldly, "Who are you?"

"This servant was instructed by King Luo. King Luo said that Miss Su might not know where the Phoenix Forest is, so he asked this servant to lead the way for Miss Su." As the eunuch spoke, he took out a jade pendant.

This jade pendant was somewhat similar to the jade pendant on her body. However, the quality was not as good as her own. It was likely that this jade pendant was a special symbol of the Luo Palace. After seeing this jade pendant, Su Jinyue nodded with relief, "Thank you."

When the eunuch heard this, he hurriedly replied, "You've killed your servant. To be able to lead the way is your servant's honor." With that, the young eunuch led the way and no longer spoke.

Su Jinyue followed behind the young eunuch and couldn't help but feel a bit surprised. He didn't expect that Luo Mingyu would arrange for people to come to the palace as well. It seemed like King Luo's household really had a bad premonition.

It's just that I didn't succeed last time, how come I still don't know how to control it? Su Jinyue didn't understand, but what she didn't know was that it was because of her that Luo Mingyu activated this little servant. Otherwise, she would have kept him in seclusion forever.

Su Jinyue followed the young eunuch around for a while before finally arriving at the Phoenix Forest.

"The Phoenix Forest is just ahead." The eunuch spoke respectfully.

When Su Jinyue heard this, she nodded and was about to thank him when she saw the young eunuch swallow a black pill and spit out a mouthful of blood.

"What are you doing?" Su Jinyue never thought that there would be such a scenario. She instantly turned pale with fright.

Hearing this, the eunuch opened his mouth and laughed, "Miss Su, Miss Su, don't mind me. This servant has already completed my mission by guiding you. Only death can prevent my identity from being revealed."

"So you're saying... I am the one who harmed you? " Su Jinyue's voice trembled slightly.

"Your servant died for the sake of the prince, willingly and wholeheartedly. Su, Su Ke! "Miss Su, the prince loves you. I hope that Miss Su will not disappoint the prince." After saying that, the servant hurriedly ran away. Seems like he didn't even want to implicate Su Jinyue.

Su Jinyue had been wondering why Luo Mingyu wanted to expose the people from King Luo Palace. She finally understood what it meant to the people from King Luo Palace to be exposed.
