Traveling through time and meeting fellow villagers, the secret code is right

"Why do you always come to my house when I'm not around?" Prince Jin was guarding against these two brothers as if they were thieves and pulled me up.

"Come and see how Xia Mu is preparing for the game." King Qin stood up.

"She doesn't know how to do anything. No need to compare! Can't you just let your family block her?" said the King of Jin

"If we can't stop it, we have to find a way!" The prince rolled his eyes.

"Have you figured out a solution? You figured it out while squatting here?" King Jin seemed to mind the brotherhood between them and me!

"I figured it out, but I can't tell you now, haha!" I didn't dare to say it. I wanted to dance with the King of Qin? I had to do it first and then ask for your permission, otherwise I would die before the dance even started.

"You can't even tell me?"

"secret!"

"why?"

"Secret."

"explain……"

"Did not say!"

The palace is especially bright tonight. Lights are on in every palace, and the palace maids and eunuchs are so busy that they are dizzy.

The competition venue is in an open space next to the observatory, not far from the Tai Chi Hall.

Palace lanterns were hung all around, looking particularly beautiful against the night sky. The emperor and empress sat at the top, and some concubines of higher status were also present, taking their seats according to their respective ranks.

The princes could only bring their princesses and concubines, so I could see my sisters-in-law along the way. Some of them I had seen before, some I hadn't. Anyway, if I greeted the ones who were dressed gorgeously beside the prince, I would be sure to get away with it.

We both sat in our seats. I specially found a red dress with flowing hems. I tied up the upper part of my hair and let the lower part fall straight down. It was simple and elegant. I saw the King of Qin sitting opposite me wearing a narrow black gilded long gown. Well, it was a good match.

After almost all the royal family members arrived, the ambassadors came over, saluted the emperor, and then sat in their seats. A woman in the middle was very conspicuous. She was Princess Fengwu, who was sent by Dafei to marry. Beautiful women are always eye-catching, and this princess is no exception. Especially for me, who likes to see handsome men and beautiful women, I may not drool when I see handsome men, but I really like to see beautiful women. This beauty is the type that makes me drool. Her slender and plump figure is very attractive. I don’t know who is so lucky to marry her home. I hope it is the King of Qin.

Seeing that many ministers and princes were attracted to her and kept staring at her, the beautiful woman seemed very proud. Although her smile was very faint, it could be seen that she was laughing a little wildly.

Crazy? Yes! It's the feeling of being crazy. I like beautiful women, but if they are self-righteous, arrogant, and ostentatious, I have no interest in appreciating them. It was this smile that made me stop drooling in time.

I turned my attention to my husband. Good job. He didn't even glance at the beautiful woman sitting opposite him. He just lowered his head and talked to the King of Chu next to him.

My husband is not lustful, and I am very confident about this, but my husband is very attractive, which makes me very insecure about myself.

At this time the prime minister spoke out.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, ladies of the palace, princes and princesses, it has been decades since our Lufeng Dynasty welcomed the envoys from the Kingdom of Dafei. This is a major event worthy of celebration for both countries. Today, Princess Fengwu of the Kingdom of Dafei is coming to marry, which is even more joyful." After saying that, he looked at the princes sitting on both sides and continued, "Princess Fengwu is both talented and beautiful, which is rare in our Lufeng. I hope to find an ideal husband among you all, and I also want to compete in talent with you princesses. Today's selection of a son-in-law and the competition will be carried out at the same time. After the competition, Princess Fengwu will choose a prince. I wonder which prince will be lucky enough to marry the beauty. The happy event of the marriage between the two countries will be held in five days." After saying that, he saluted to the emperor on the stage and withdrew.

"Why do I feel that it is you, a group of princes, who are being chosen by others? Is the princess so great? The emperor's selection of concubines is just like this! What's more, you are facing a group of outstanding princes from Lufeng." I felt weird.

"Well, why does Prime Minister Jiang praise the envoy from Dafei so much today? Although he lets the princess choose the person she likes to marry, there is no need to emphasize it so much in the language. It makes it sound like Lufeng is one level lower than Dafei." Prince Jin also found it strange and was talking to me in a low voice.

The emperor and the crown prince also heard it and were looking at Prime Minister Jiang with displeasure.

Now the talent show begins. The popular eunuch Lu Gonggong, who is close to the emperor, presides over the whole competition.

The first is a musical instrument performance:

The Princess of Yan was the first to perform the guqin, playing the piece "Wen Wang Cao".

As I was talking, I saw the beautiful figure of Princess Yan holding a guqin and walking to the middle of the venue and sitting down. When she glanced at me, I clenched my fist and gave her a cheering gesture. She smiled at me. Although we didn't have many opportunities to meet, except for the Crown Princess, I had a good relationship with these sisters-in-law.

There is a story behind "King Wen's Song" that has been passed down through the ages. Confucius once learned to play the guqin from Shi Xiang, a famous musician in the Spring and Autumn Period. The piece he learned was "King Wen's Song". When later generations tried to restore "King Wen's Song", they changed the main character portrayed in the guqin piece from King Wen of Zhou to Confucius. Therefore, "King Wen's Song" was later considered to be a piece praising Confucius' virtue. Its profound connotation and rich and touching melody make it a classic piece of guqin music. After listening to this piece, a feeling of admiration and respect arises spontaneously.

A beautiful melody poured out smoothly from the delicate hands of Princess Yan. I also like this song in modern times, but I listen to it as a lullaby, because I always feel that the sound of the guqin makes people feel drowsy, but the live performance is so attractive.

"Great!" The cheers brought me back to reality from my wandering thoughts.

After paying her respects to the Emperor, Princess Yan walked back to the Prince of Yan. The Emperor and the Empress were very satisfied with her performance and kept nodding their heads happily.

Princess Fengwu is invited to perform the pipa piece "Zhaojun Goes to the Frontier".

At this time, the princess came out holding a pipa. You could tell from her demeanor that she was not as elegant as the Princess of Yan, but her face was a little prettier than hers.

This is another song I like very much in modern times. I wonder how good her skills are...

I was sitting there feeling bored so I leaned on my husband's shoulder, lazily preparing to watch her performance.

But suddenly I realized that the way she looked at me leaning against me, there was a bit of disgust in her eyes.

No way? What does my husband and I have to do with you? Is it your turn to be unhappy?

I simply ignored her performance and held a man's arm, leaned on his shoulder and talked to him. Even if he was not my husband, he was my boyfriend, and he was approved by my parents. Who could care less?

"What's the matter?" A man turned around and asked me with a smile, very satisfied with my intimate actions towards him at this time.

"Nothing, just bored. The princess is only a beauty at first sight, and her temperament is not as good as that of the third sister-in-law!"

"Beauty at first sight? What kind of new term is that?" He rubbed my forehead with his cheek.

"It just looks beautiful at first glance, but if you look at it a few more times, it's okay." I explained

"So what kind of beauty are you?" he teased me.

"I am the type that is very attractive." I smiled proudly?(???)? Elegant
