To be able to change Feng Xi'er's melody into his own, this could no longer be measured by how proficient one was in the melody.

Although she had never heard of this song before, her skills were not bad either. It was just that although she could barely keep up with it in the beginning, but at the end, it was completely chaotic. She was completely led by Xiao Qing Qing.

"Damned woman, do you know how to cause trouble? Me too!" Feng Xi'er gritted her teeth and, like Xiao Qing Ran, began to pull on a zither string.

However, this move naturally didn't work on Xiao Qing Ran. Not only had she not been affected by it, she had also borrowed the sound of that woman pulling the strings of the zither to use in her zither music. That zither music carried an unstoppable force as it resounded through the great hall.

"Xiao Qing Ran!" Feng Xi'er lost some of her reason. At this time, she was no longer thinking about how to win, but was trying her best to not let the opponent win.

She pulled on her zither strings like a madman, but it only added a little bit of charisma to Xiao Qing Ran's zither notes. In the latter half of the session, her playing had become a stepping stone for her opponent.

'Bang! ' In the end, Xiao Qingyi's melody coincidentally ended with the last syllable. As for Feng Xi'er, who was sitting on a chair with a head full of sweat, she had already snapped the zither string in her hands.

It was clear who would win and who would lose.

"I lost? I actually lost to this woman! "Impossible, this is absolutely impossible!" Feng Xi'er shook her head vigorously. Her two hands tightly gripped the zither strings as Duan County cut open her palm. Blood flowed down her wrist, falling onto the ground. At this time, she didn't have the time to care about all this.

The result of Xiao Qingran's victory in the competition had dealt a huge blow to her. She clearly hadn't been able to start off well when she was playing the lute, so why was she now …

"You're just pretending, right?!" Feng Xi'er gritted her teeth as she glared fiercely at Xiao Qing Ran and said: "You have been acting from the beginning; you purposefully wanted me to make a fool out of myself!"

Judging from the tune she had just played, it was obvious that her skills were not something that could be mastered in a single day. It looked like she had done it on purpose that day at the General's Estate!

Xiao Qingran knew that she had misunderstood, but she did not want to explain: "Miss Feng, we made an agreement in advance, since the result is already out, please admit your defeat."

"I won't promise you, you scheming woman. I definitely won't promise you!" Feng Xi'er gritted her teeth, and the string in her hand tightened bit by bit.

With two 'pa pa' sounds, another two strings broke, and her palm was wounded by the broken strings. The smell of blood in the hall became even stronger.

Xiao Qing Qing knitted her brows but did not say anything. In her opinion, Feng Xi'er had already lost her mind.

On the other side, Feng Jing Tian frowned and pointed two fingers at the people beside him to pull Feng Xi'er back. He didn't want her to discredit the Prime Minister's estate in front of so many people.

Feng Xi'er was still screaming as if she wanted to rush at Xiao Qing Ran. She had completely disregarded the title of 'future Crown Prince's Consort'.

Although Su Qian Xing had expected her to lose, he didn't expect her to be so brainless as to dare to mess around in the hall. Even though he always had a gentle face, he still couldn't help but feel nervous.

What Su Qianjie was worried about had happened after all. There must be people who were happy about this competition, while there were others who were worried.

Lan Ying's expression was the ugliest, but she couldn't do anything about it.

Even when Feng Xi'er was pulled down, no one said a word or two to plead for mercy.

In the end, with just a few words from Feng Jing, the awkwardness was resolved. The banquet continued and everyone was filled with joy again. However, this didn't mean that they didn't care about what had just happened.

Currently, Feng Xi'er had the title of 'Crown Prince's consort' on her body, and she also had the Prime Minister's Palace backing her. Even if she lost the competition, no one would dare say bad things behind her back.

But on the other hand, the noble young masters who had always been indifferent to Xiao Qing Ran before now all took a fancy to her.

Since Xiao Qingyi could defeat the capital's most talented girl, and she was also the direct descendent of the general's household, they naturally had to give her a high opinion.

And at this moment, the direct daughter of the young masters was not in a good mood. Originally, she only went up on stage to give some women a warning.

Today, from the start of the banquet, there had always been people watching her. Other than those few people, most of them were the ladies of the capital, and the matter between her and Su Qian Han had been spread far and wide in the capital. That man did not matter much, as it was inevitable that people would think of him.

"Miss, this is already the eighth." Riko's arrogant tone carried a hint of helplessness.

Xiao Qingran lowered her head and rubbed her temple with one hand, which gave her a headache: "Can I leave the arena to hide for a while?"

"I'm afraid that won't do. His Majesty hasn't left after the banquet. The young miss has just won against the young miss of the Feng family, so all of their eyes are on you. It would be more obvious if the young miss leaves now."

"Tsk …" If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have gone up. "

That was great. Not only did he not avoid trouble, he even brought a bunch of them with him.

"Third Miss, I am Li Zhe, and your father is a third rank Senior Officer, Li Yi." A handsome young man with oily hair and rosy cheeks walked over with a cup of wine and said flirtatiously, "I have long heard of young miss's great name. Seeing that it is indeed extraordinary today, I wish to befriend young miss. I hope young miss will not mind."

Even though everyone in and out of the capital was saying that this Third Young Miss was related to His Highness the Duke of Han, they couldn't let such an outstanding person go. Anyway, those were just rumors, and the two of them weren't engaged like the crown prince and Miss Feng.

If he could gain the favor of the young mistress, even King Han would not be able to say much, right?

Naturally, Xiao Qingran and the rest had the same thoughts. It was probably because these people all held the same hope that they came to hover in front of her one after another.

The most frightening thing was that these people were the sons of court officials, and there was no lack of outstanding talents who would become officials in the future. Xiao Qing Ran was unable to avoid them at this moment, but she could not give them too much face by directly interacting with them.

Drinking this wine one cup after another, even if the dessert didn't have any alcohol content, it would still make one uncomfortable to drink too much.

On the other side, the wine cup in Su Qianhan's hand had changed shape. From beginning to end, he had watched as the men in the seats went over to Xiao Qingyi to flatter her. His face was so dark that water was dripping from it.

Whirlwind could feel the cold aura from his master's body even from half a meter away. Compared to the Fifth Prince, who had yet to regain his strength, the cold aura from Su Qian Han's body made him feel even more apprehensive.

God bless me, I must not get angry here.

"Whirlwind." When the thirteenth man went to invite Xiao Qinggran to drink, Su Qianhan finally couldn't hold it in anymore.

"Master." When the wind heard him shout, it immediately took two steps forward and bent its body.

"Go tell her to go to the back garden. This King has something to tell her!" Su Qianhan paused as his eyes narrowed.

Suifeng was stunned for a moment before raising his head to look at Su He. He then carefully reminded him, "But master … His Majesty is still here. It doesn't seem right for you to call the third lady out right now …"

"Go!" "Right now!" The wine cup in Su Qianhan's hand cracked open with a 'pa' sound, and the wine flowed into his hand along the crack.

Su Qian Jie suddenly came back to his senses when he heard the noise. He stretched out his hand to lift his lower body, and swallowed a mouthful of saliva. His train of thought was still restricted to the previous round. 'Is she … '

Su Qian Han didn't wait for him to finish and looked at the wind that had already reached Xiao Qing Ran. He then stood up and walked outside.

"Hey second brother? The banquet is not over yet, where are you going?! "Second Brother!"

On the other side, Xiao Qing who had just sent out a 'pursuer' received a message from Windstorm. She raised her head to look at the empty seat, and frowned: "What does that man want to do now? Can't I just go back and talk about the important things? Your Majesty hasn't left yet. "

Suifeng was in a difficult position, "Your subordinate told me so too, but young lady knows your temper, your subordinate is truly …"

In fact, he understood his lord's feelings. Normally, this lord would hold his hands to protect them from any blind person, but now, he was being approached by so many people to chat with the third lady in front of him. It would be strange if this lord wasn't angry.

"Alright, you go back first. I understand." Xiao Qing weighed the pros and cons and planned to find an opportunity to slip out.

Feng Jing had been keeping an eye on them the entire time, and had already noticed the movements of these two people. She quickly covered up for them and sent someone to report to Su He that they had something important to discuss.

He had roamed the world for many years and had never returned to the capital. As the emperor, Sang He naturally had the most love and respect for his subjects, so he naturally agreed to Feng Jing's request and temporarily withdrew from the banquet.

As Xiao Qing saw Sang He leave, she heaved a sigh of relief and followed him out of the hall.

The two of them left one after the other. At the banquet, Su Qianxing watched her back as she left. A sinister light shone in his gentle eyes.

"What's wrong? Why do you have to call me out? Did you find anything? " As soon as Xiao Qing ran around the small path to the imperial garden, she saw Su Qian Han standing with his back facing her.

She walked over with a frown and confusion in her eyes. "What are you doing there? Speak quickly if you have something to say. His Majesty was just called away by Prime Minister Feng. We still need to hurry back later … "Hm ~"

Before she could finish her sentence, Su Qianhan, who had suddenly turned around, grabbed her shoulder and pushed her against the wall.

Her back hit the wall hard, causing her to grit her teeth in pain and curse, "Su Qianhan, are you crazy? What kind of madness is this!? "

Su Qian Han's fingers on her shoulder tightened, and he stared at her with his dark eyes, his lowered head giving off a strong sense of oppression. He said word by word with annoyance, "Qing Qing, did you have fun at the banquet?"
