Zhao Xin'er thought that she had taken advantage of Xiao Qing Ran's weakness. She didn't care how inappropriate her words were. Such a gamble had brought everyone in.

Liu Suifeng knew Xiao Qingyi's true identity. How could Miss Mo's zither skills and dancing be inferior to this Miss Feng? Thus, he had complete confidence in her. Of course, he was also thinking about the character of his own beauty. Even if he won, he definitely wouldn't show mercy to that woman.

However, Su Qianjie felt weak in his heart. It was precisely because he knew this that he wanted to get along with them. It wasn't good even if either of the two lost.

"That's not proper at all. Why don't we just play by ourselves?" Su Qian Jie forced a smile.

For once, the two of them came to a consensus as they said in unison, "No, we must compete!"

The corners of Su Qian Jie's mouth twitched. He waved his hand and smiled, "If I didn't say that I wouldn't let you guys compete, then don't play this big. After all, there are people here who don't like this kind of way."

As he spoke, he intentionally signaled with his eyes. The two of them looked at Su Qianhan and Su Qianxing in unison and kept quiet.

Su Qianjie then took advantage of the situation and said, "Let's wait for our literary talent. How about we bet on it?"

Xiao Yan asked curiously, "Betting?"

"In other words, no one takes out an item from their body and places it on the table. Whoever thinks that the two will win will place a bet on the other side, and once the result is out, the loser will be divided equally."

Liu Suifeng curled his lips. Although he felt that there was no 'water' to relieve his hatred, that was still fine. It was fine as long as he could make a fool out of that woman.

Thinking this way, he crossed his arms and sat to the side, no longer speaking, indicating his tacit agreement.

Su Qian Jie looked at the few people in front of him. They all had the same expression. The former let out a sigh of relief as he looked at the two people in front of him. "Then, where is Miss Feng and Qing Qing?"

Feng Xi'er curled her lips: "I naturally don't have any objections, I just don't know if Third Miss will give me face."

Instead of throwing this woman into the water, she would rather obtain an item from Big Brother Han's body. When the time came, she could use it as a token of affection. Big Brother Han's personality was extremely cold and didn't understand these things.

Xiao Qingran's eyes flashed as she raised her head to call out her third sentence: "If you want to play, I'll naturally accompany you."

Otherwise, this show wouldn't be able to continue on.

"Okay, okay, then …" Su Qian Jie excitedly pulled out a jade pendant from his belt and placed it in front of Xiao Qing Ran.

Liu Suifeng took out a small box and placed it in the same place. He raised his eyebrows and said, "This box contains the precious herbs that I have been hoarding all this time."

Xiao Yan laughed and said with disdain, "What precious herb? It's just a broken blade of grass."

"What do you mean my precious medicine is broken grass? You want to fight, don't you? " Liu Suifeng stared at him and asked provocatively, "Then what good thing can you take out?"

"The things I take out must be the best." Xiao Yun raised his head and placed his sword in front of Feng Xi'er. Zhao Xin'er followed and made a bet.

"It's just a broken blade." Liu Suifeng let out a laugh and his tone was filled with disdain.

"You dare to say I'm …"

"Kid, aren't you being too insincere?" Liu Suifeng purposely gave her a bad impression and ignored her words. He turned to Su Qian Jie and said, "I remember that you always seemed to have something hidden in your bosom. It must be a treasure if you're so careful. Take it out and give it to a beauty."

Upon hearing these words, Su Qianjie immediately clutched his chest in vigilance and glared. "That won't do. That was given to me by mufei. I absolutely cannot let it out."

"What's wrong with that? Beauty will definitely win. You won't lose anything, right?" Liu Suifeng was full of confidence, so he immediately started to take off his clothes.

After struggling for a while, Su Qian Jie was finally unable to escape. In the end, he still took the scented sachet from his bosom and placed it on the table.

Xiao Yan laughed and said sarcastically: "I think it's best if you don't make things difficult for the Fifth Prince. What if he really loses because he cares so much about this scented sachet? Looks like the Fifth Prince doesn't believe that Third Sister will win. "

"Beauty will definitely win!"

"I don't believe it!"

Xiao Qingyi knitted her eyebrows as she did not want to hear their boring bickering anymore: "Do we still have to start?"

"Of course!" Liu Suifeng raised his head to look at the two men and asked, "Where are your things?"

This sentence pulled everyone's attention away from Su Qianxing. He maintained a gentle smile on his face the whole time. Now that he was called upon, he gently pulled out a jade pendant from his waist and said, "Of course it's to win a prize. Of course I'm betting. Then I …"

He waved the item in his hand above the table, and in the end, it was actually placed in front of Feng Xi'er.

She had thought that this person would definitely bet on her own side. After all, ever since she had returned to the capital, the only things she had heard were the matters between Xiao Qing Ran and the crown prince.

Although she didn't know the reason, Feng Xi'er still smiled gratefully at Su Qian Xing to express her gratitude.

Xiao Qingyi did not raise her head.

Right now, all that was left was Su Qian Han without a bet, and all eyes were on him. The former's eyes were unfathomable, and after a while, he too took the jade pendant from his waist and threw it over.

The jade pendant slid along the edge of the table to where Xiao Qing was. It moved smoothly, as if the jade pendant's owner had no intention of betting. It was just a coincidence.

Su Qian Xing's eyes flashed, but he maintained his smile and did not speak.

However, Feng Xi'er's expression was a little ugly. She knew Su Qianhan's martial power, that jade pendant definitely was not a coincidence.

However, Xiao Yan had no sharp eyes. "Duke Han, who are you betting this on?"

Liu Suifeng laughed, "I say, do you have no eyes? I'm sure this jade pendant is for beauties."

"But …"

"Since it belongs to the Third Miss, it should be yours." Feng Xi'er's curvy lips interrupted their argument.

The zither was not suitable for Xiao Qingyi; in comparison, she preferred the pipa. In the modern era, she had also loved the guitar for a long time, so in the ancient times, there definitely weren't any guitars, but the pipa was somewhat similar.

In fact, a lot of things between musical instruments are very well understood.

"Should I go first, or Third Miss?" Feng Xi'er arranged for a servant to arrange the guzheng and stood up to walk towards the musical instrument, smiling as she asked politely.

A trace of ridicule flashed past Xiao Qingran's eyes. This woman had already walked over, yet she still dared to ask such a question. She clearly wanted to show off first, so what if he agreed to her wish? "You go first."

"Thank you." The woman made a gesture of courtesy, then sat down and began strumming the zither.

Suddenly, the melodious melody flowed out from between her fingers. It was a melodious and carefree melody from the Orchid Sky Valley with the gentleness of a girl. This perfectly harmonious melody allowed others to listen to it and understand the wonderful feeling of emptiness.

She subconsciously looked towards Su Qianhan, wanting to know the man's reaction, but she unexpectedly met the gaze of that person. As their four eyes met, Xiao Qingyi suddenly saw the hidden attachment and contemplation in that person's eyes, causing her heart to jump in shock. She turned her eyes away to look at him.

The others only paid attention to the tune, but Su Qian Xing saw the subtle reactions of the other two. His eyes darkened for a moment, and then his lips curved up into a smile. However, the smile on his face had a hint of scheming.

After the song ended, the crowd applauded. Although Liu Suifeng did not like this woman, he still knew how to play. Naturally, he knew that she was extremely skilled and he followed up with a few words of praise, but he was still very determined to stand by Xiao Qing Ran's side.

Feng Xi'er made a bow with her zither before heading back to her seat. With sparkling eyes, she moved close to Su Qian Han like a child and acted like a spoiled child, "Big brother Han, what do you think? Has Brook ever improved? "

Su Qianhan squinted his eyes, but his expression remained unchanged. He nodded his head honestly and said, "Yes, that's right."

Although it was only four words, it was enough to make Feng Xi'er happy for a long time. She knew that he wouldn't praise anyone under normal circumstances.

The others also knew that after they looked at each other, they all had the same thought.

"Miss Feng is indeed the most talented girl in the capital. You fully deserve the title. If you had known earlier that Miss Feng had the talent to arrange a marriage agreement with your second imperial brother, who knows how many people would still be thinking about you in the capital. Even I would be envious of my second imperial brother's good fortune."

Xiao Qing Ran took the lute and was about to play it when she suddenly froze upon hearing those words.

Was the marriage arranged by Su Qianhan's mother?

Su Qian Han frowned as though he was displeased with the topic at hand. He just looked at the man with his head lowered, but didn't say anything.

Su Qian Xing's praise greatly boosted Feng Xi'er's self-confidence, and she did not try to obstruct him when she spoke. However, she purposely said it for Xiao Qing Ran to hear, "Your Highness, please do not say it like this. I still hadn't given birth to Empress Lin when she set down the engagement, so how could I know so many things? "It's just that I'm indebted to the Empress for not giving up."

Xiao Qingran clenched her lute tightly as the light in her eyes dimmed.

He was very clear on the importance of Su Qianhan. After all, that man had once gotten angry with the emperor for Su Qianhan, and the marriage between the two of them was decided when they were alive. There was no way that Su Qianhan could go against his mother's imperial concubine.
