The arrogant imperial concubine arrives, the favorite of the regent

Then, Yun Mujiu said leisurely: "Isn't it just to listen to music? Is it that serious?"

She raised her hand and called out, "Fusang, come and sing a song!"

"Fusang has never learned to sing, but her singing voice is extraordinary..."

Fusang was an orphan who roamed the streets. When he was very young, he would sing songs to ask for money. He would walk around the streets with a group of children of the same age, singing promotional songs that their employers asked him to sing.

Fuso came up to the stage with a dignified manner, said nothing, and started talking directly.

"Look at the water flowing eastward..."

"Watching the sun set in the evening..."

...

Her voice is not soft, but tough and strong. Sometimes it sounds grand, and sometimes it gives people a gentle touch.

When the folk song ended, the expressions of the onlookers told Yun Mujiu that Fusang could sing better than Yun Shirou no matter what she sang.

Yun Shirou, Princess Gaoyang, Bei Liyi, Yao Leyi, and some other young ladies present all had a complex look on their faces.

Yun Shirou was furious and said, "Princess Ye, what do you mean by this?"

"You're eager to find someone to compete with, and you're asking me what I mean!" Yun Mujiu replied seriously. Isn't this the competition that Yun Shirou wanted?

Yun Shirou bit her lip and said, "I want to compete with you, not a maid!"

Yao Leyi in the audience echoed, "Yes, yes!" She recognized that the girl who was shining brightly just now was the orphan she had bullied! Then she whispered, "Singing, I can do it too, there's nothing to be afraid of!"

Yun Mujiu said calmly to Yun Shirou, "I told you, I'm not very good at it, so there's no need to show it. Besides, she's my maid, so what? Her singing is not inferior to yours! Also, there's no rule at the banquet that prohibits anyone from going on stage, so it's reasonable for Fusang to show her talent."

Yun Shirou was furious, but she was still trying to save face: "A maid is competing with me, are you trying to humiliate me?"

"My fault." Yun Mujiu shrugged, looking very innocent. "I should have known that I should not have let Fusang go up. It would be embarrassing for her to compete with you." Besides, why would Yun Shirou look down on Fusang? She didn't think that Yun Shirou was much more noble than Fusang. Turning her head, she said to Fusang, "I'm sorry, Sang'er, I've wronged you."

As soon as these words came out, some people burst into laughter. Yun Mujiu looked serious, and her words were serious, but if you think about it carefully, you can hear that she was teasing Yun Shirou, and there was a hint of playfulness in her words.

Yun Shirou was so angry that her chest was about to spit fire. Yun Mujiu was such a good talker. He just said whatever he wanted to say. But she couldn't win against Yun Mujiu! What she wanted to say was that she was demoted by competing with the servants!

Yun Mujiu pinched his waist, then patted Fusang on the shoulder: "You sang very well!"

Ye Xiaohan said leisurely: "It's really good!"

Everyone's expressions changed drastically. It was rare for the Regent to praise someone! And that person was just a slave!

Fusang looked serious and bowed to Ye Xiaohan and Yun Mujiu: "Thank you for your praise, my Lord and Princess."

With Ye Xiaohan speaking up and the facts before their eyes, the emperor and empress on the podium had no choice but to speak up and frankly state that it was indeed Fusang who performed better than Yun Shirou.

The people in the audience spoke up one after another, praising the maidservant beside Princess Ye for being as capable as Princess Ye. Yun Mujiu took a few glances and saw that Meng Ninglang, Bai Yanshuang, and Su Wen, who had appeared out of nowhere, were all speaking passionately, and even Princess Ji Ling kept nodding.

Yun Shirou’s face couldn’t be any darker.

Yun Mujiu had no intention of letting her go and took a few steps forward.

His expression was indifferent and his tone was flat.

"Second Miss Yun, an ordinary talent show alone doesn't mean much. I know what you are thinking." You want to find my weakness and take the opportunity to step on it.

"You think you are an excellent singer, but you don't know that there are always people who are better than you. So how can you be so proud to challenge others with your mediocre level? How can you be so shameless to look down on the status of the person who is competing with you?"

Yun Mujiu suddenly revealed a hint of sarcasm, his calm eyes showing no ripples.

"Also, the skills you are so proud of, such as music, chess, calligraphy, painting, singing and dancing, are actually nothing. These things are just insignificant things to me. I don't need to spend more time learning them, nor do I need to demonstrate my ability and charm through these skill competitions."

"As long as I want, the palace's musicians, chess players, calligraphers, painters, and other professionals will all perform for me at any time. However, these skills are not very useful and can easily be replaced by professionals."

"And I... my brain, the most precious part of the human body, cannot be taken away by anyone in the world. My thoughts will always exist in my mind, and even go deep into my soul, becoming a part of my soul, and will last forever!"

Yun Mujiu's insights not only pointed out Yun Shirou's fragile foothold in wanting to harm others, but also thoroughly analyzed the problem, giving everyone a deeper self-insight and awareness.

What is the most special and precious thing to a person? External things and objects can be taken away by others, but the thoughts rooted deep in one's mind cannot be stolen by anyone!

Many people listened to Yun Mujiu's explanation with complicated expressions in their eyes.

When some noble ladies heard this, they showed an expression of sudden enlightenment on their faces. The idea they had always accepted was that they should practice more skills that women should have, such as playing the piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, singing and dancing, organizing household affairs, managing the inner house, dressing themselves up to win favor, and being proficient in women's work.

They have never thought about what they should focus on the most? It is to strengthen themselves, not to please others!

When they looked up at Yun Mujiu again, their eyes were full of admiration.

Ye Xiaohan's eyes were fixed on Yun Mujiu on the stage, his dark eyes were full of depth. Mumu was indeed different! His ideological awareness alone was amazing.

Ye Chufeng and Ye Chuhe looked at the platform without saying a word. The farce had ended, and they slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

Wanyan Gu forgot his worries and pondered Yun Mujiu's words carefully.

The prince was dumbfounded. Yun Mujiu really impressed him time and time again.

Yun Shirou's face turned pale and she was trembling all over. She wanted to refute, but she couldn't. She didn't understand the second half of Yun Mujiu's words, but she also knew that she had completely lost this battle.

She glanced at the prince secretly, and the prince was actually staring at Yun Mujiu!

After a while, the bonfire party became quiet.

The sky is full of stars and the summer moon is gradually singing.

Piles of wood shaped like small hills were burning fiercely, making crackling sounds.

Yun Mujiu chuckled, which made everyone's heart skip a beat.

Then, Yun Mujiu turned his head, his eyes sharp as torches, and pointed at a woman in pink.

"You, come up and sing for me."

"Me?" Yao Leyi pointed at herself and her heart suddenly began to panic.

"Yes, Yao Leyi." Yun Mujiu raised his lips and sneered, "You were having a lot of fun just now. You have the ability to appreciate things, and you commented that Second Miss Yun's song was good, and you also boasted that you sang well."

"That's right, this princess is giving you this opportunity, come up!"

Yao Leyi was so scared that Yun Shirou quietly brought her to the banquet. After all, her family had fallen into poverty and she was no longer qualified to attend the banquet.

She wanted to refuse, but Yun Mujiu didn't give her the chance.

"Come up!"
