Chapter 222 Stunning the Audience
"Are Miss Xu and Miss Mu dissatisfied with my piano skills?" Chen Lanyan asked.
Xu Linghe: "Everyone has their own opinions and views. Does Miss Chen think that she is a great person in the world and that everyone likes her?"
Chen Lanyan: "Miss Xu is not good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, so she can't tell the difference, but is Miss Mu the same?"
Feng Qingyi: "If Miss Chen thinks that her piano skills are extraordinary, then she doesn't need the votes of the two of us."
Chen Lanyan looked at Feng Qingyi, "I think Miss Mu's piano skills should be better than mine, why don't you come up and try!"
Xu Linghe glanced at Feng Qingyi, "Qingyi, why don't you try it? She has shown that she wants to compete with you."
Feng Qingyi walked up, "Since Miss Chen has invited me so kindly, I will show my ugliness."
Xu Linghe smiled and said, "Qingyi, come on!"
Feng Qingyi walked up, looked at the piano on the table, walked over to tune it, and slowly sat down.
The song "Spring River Moon Night" sounded, and the elegant and brisk melody sounded, and everyone quieted down and listened carefully.
Xu Linghe glanced at Chen Lanyan and whispered to Zhao Yiqing: "I think Qingyi plays much better than Chen Lanyan, what do you think?"
Zhao Yiqing looked at Xu Linghe next to him and nodded, "Indeed."
Xu Linghe: "We will all vote for Qingyi later. I think she will definitely get more votes than Chen Lanyan."
At the end of the song, Feng Qingyi stood up, and everyone in the room applauded. Soon, everyone presented red ribbons.
Chen Lanyan stood aside, looking at Feng Qingyi with a complicated expression.
Xu Linghe walked up to her, "How about it? You insist on competing. Now the difference is obvious!"
"Qingyi didn't intend to be in the limelight, but you insisted on letting her. Now she has attracted everyone's attention and might even win the first place."
"If you didn't come out to find trouble, you might be the one who is in the limelight today. This is fate!"
Chen Lanyan glared at Xu Linghe angrily, "No matter how powerful she is, what does it have to do with you? You are just her thug and little follower. Do you really think she cares about you?"
"Does it matter to you whether she cares about me or not? You are just jealous of me! After all, the group around you are considered little followers, and they are all profitable."
Xu Linghe didn't take Chen Lanyan's provocation to heart. She was very happy when she was with Qingyi.
She never asked about her personal situation, nor did she want to get anything from her. There was no interest between them.
Such friendship is precious enough for her and worth cherishing.
After all, she had met some people who approached her because of her identity.
They were just attracted by her family background, pretending to be happy on the surface, but they laughed at her, talked about her, and even slandered her behind her back.
She was a straightforward person and didn't like to be hypocritical with them, so she broke up with them unilaterally.
Although there was no one she could talk to, she didn't think it was a big deal, and it was fine to be alone.
After meeting Qingyi, it seemed that her life became more fulfilling. She opened a teahouse with her and wandered around. Although she didn't do anything big, she was happy every day, which was enough for her.
Chen Lanyan said angrily: "You don't really think she has no intentions!"
"She is just the daughter of a deputy general, who died a few years ago. If she hadn't been attached to you, how could she have married into the general's mansion and become the general's wife?"
"You are just a stepping stone for her to enter the circle of power and nobility in Shengjing. You really take yourself seriously. You are so stupid that you are being used and still counting money for her!"
Feng Qingyi just handed the red ribbon in her hand to several teachers in the Qinyuan for counting, and heard Chen Lanyan's words when she stepped off the stage.
"Miss Shen is really worrying too much. Your so-called powerful people have no attraction to me, and I have no intention of entering your circle, because we are not the same kind of people."
"As for Ling He and me, whether I used her, she should have her own judgment. She is already an adult and should not be confused."
"As for what Miss Shen said, I am just the daughter of a deceased deputy general, marrying into the general's mansion, that is not something you should worry about."
"My father sacrificed his life for the country. To me, he is a hero, and you cannot interfere."
"If Miss Shen likes Qin Yuchuan, then you should go and tell him clearly. It should be considered a villain to say something wrong about me in private."
Feng Qingyi's voice was not small, because the song just now amazed the whole audience, and everyone around looked at her and even spoke for her.
"Miss Shen is probably judging others by her own standards. Miss Feng's father died for the country and is a hero of our Tianqi. No one should criticize him."
"We all know Miss Feng's piano skills. Miss Shen is not as good as others. Why should she slander Miss Feng in this way?"
"..."
Shen Lanyan heard everyone arguing for Feng Qingyi and became even angrier.
"Does she mean what she said? Her surname is Mu, but she told everyone that her surname is Feng. Isn't this deceiving people?"
Feng Qingyi thought she was going to say something, but she didn't expect it to be this.
She was not used to changing her name. Before, Qin Yuchuan was worried that the emperor would harm her, so he forged an identity for her.
People who were not familiar with her would call her "Miss Mu". Sometimes she couldn't react when she heard this surname.
Now that Xuanyuan Yan has ascended the throne, he also knows her identity and no longer has to pretend. She still likes her original surname, so he can take this opportunity to explain it.
"Miss Shen may not know that after my father died, my mother worked hard to raise me, so she took my mother's surname of 'Feng' and named me Qingyi. I think Miss Shen should be able to understand."
Shen Lanyan glared at Feng Qingyi and hurried over.
At this time, the master of Qinyuan came out with the tallied votes.
"The one with the highest number of votes so far is Feng Qingyi's "Spring River with Flowers and Moonlight Night."
Xu Linghe grabbed Feng Qingyi's sleeve, "That's great of you. You currently have the highest number of votes. If no one can surpass you in the future, you will be the leader."
Feng Qingyi held her arm and said, "It doesn't matter whether we can win the championship or not. It seems to be noon now. Let's go out to eat together."
"Okay, Mr. Zhao, let's go together." Xu Linghe said.
Zhao Yiqing hesitated for a while, then nodded in agreement.
The three of them walked out of Wenyuan together. Qianjue and Ji Liusu stood together at the entrance of Wenyuan.
"Master Qianjue, your little apprentice ran away with someone else, aren't you going to chase him?"
Qian Jue sighed, "Let's go get together with this heartless little girl and leave her alone."
