Chapter 186 Talent Competition
However, the Queen felt that Mu Hansu did not give her face and the Zhou family face in front of all the civil and military officials, and she felt a little embarrassed.
She wanted to say something else, but was stopped by the emperor.
In fact, the emperor knew over the years that not only his ninth brother, but even the empress dowager and the imperial sister looked down on the queen.
He felt that she was indecisive, had no opinions of her own, and did not have the demeanor of a mother of the country. He only tolerated the Queen because of his hobbies when he was young.
If the queen speaks again today, I'm afraid her position will really change.
The emperor felt a little tired after all these years and was unwilling to clean up the mess for the queen anymore.
The queen was also angry when she saw that the emperor didn't let her speak, but she relied on the emperor's support in the harem and did not dare to disobey him, so she shut up in disapproval.
The Queen Mother said nothing and just watched the show from the side.
It has been a long time since I have seen such an exciting experience. Mu Hansu is truly worthy of being her son. His fighting ability is beyond reproach.
It really looks like she was in the harem when she was killing people everywhere. Just thinking about it makes my blood boil.
It’s a pity that the eldest princess didn’t come. She has never liked such occasions.
But fortunately, Lu Chenshuang was there, and the Queen Mother could see everything clearly from her seat on the high platform.
The expressions on her face were also very interesting, sometimes happy, sometimes angry, and she almost crushed the teacup.
Maybe the ninth son in their family will be able to get married soon.
Lu Chenshuang didn't know that while she was watching the play, she had become one of the actors.
When the emperor saw Zhou Yuer running out crying, he felt the atmosphere was a little awkward for a moment.
So he touched his nose and said, "My dear ministers, this is just a small incident, please don't mind it.
Today we are here to see off Princess Rong'an, so let's continue.
Are there any officials whose family members would like to come up and help cheer us on?
Don't worry, I will reward those with outstanding talents generously!"
It would have been fine if the emperor hadn't mentioned the reward, but as soon as he said it, the girls from the noble families lowered their heads even lower, not even daring to breathe.
They don't want the emperor's reward. If they were really like Zhou Yuer, how would they face people in the future?
When the emperor saw that no one moved even after he said this, he couldn't help but get angry. They thought that no one was taking him, the emperor, seriously!
The Queen Mother sighed when she saw this. Her son had let himself go and she, an old woman, had to come to the rescue. So she looked down and said, "Why should you be embarrassed when the Emperor asks you to perform?
As long as you are not as shameless as Miss Zhou, I will reward you regardless of your talent."
The Queen Mother's words gave everyone reassurance, and at the same time nailed Zhou Yuer to the pillar of shame.
The first person to perform was the Empress Dowager's great-niece.
She played a decent piano piece. Although she was not outstanding, her skills were quite good.
After the song was over, the Queen Mother said she would reward them, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Next, these noble ladies from aristocratic families began to perform on their own initiative.
Before we knew it, it was already completely dark, the lanterns in the palace were lit, and the palace banquet officially began.
The first things to come up were fresh fruits shipped from various places, including a plate of lychees that Lu Chenshuang particularly loved.
In ancient times, transportation was not as developed as it is today, and there were many things that could not be bought even if they had money.
Things like lychees were tributes.
Lu Chenshuang watched the talent performances of the noble ladies from various families in the hall while eating the lychees in her hand.
Before she knew it, she had eaten up all the lychees in the plate.
When Lu Chenshuang wanted to reach out and take it again, he found that there were only a pile of empty shells left.
Lu Chenshuang wiped his hands with some regret.
All of this was seen clearly by Mu Hansu who was sitting opposite.
Mu Hansu whispered a few words to the eunuch beside him, and the eunuch brought the lychees to Lu Chenshuang.
Although this scene did not interrupt the performance at the banquet, it was seen by some people.
What does it mean that the War King gave lychees to Lu Chenshuang?
Mu Hansu even righteously refused Zhou Yuer's offer of a glass of wine, and his words were particularly unpleasant.
Now he is actually asking someone to send lychees to Lu Chenshuang, in public, without trying to avoid suspicion at all, so it is hard not to think too much.
It's just that everyone is smart and selectively blind. Only Lin, who was sitting far away, looked at Mu Hansu with shining eyes.
Lu Chenshuang didn't expect that Mu Hansu would let the little eunuch send her something in public, but she didn't refuse and accepted it frankly.
Princess Rong'an, who was sitting at the top, frowned again upon seeing this.
She was a very vengeful person. Lu Chenshuang had offended her because of buying jewelry.
Who would have thought that before she had the chance to cause trouble for this woman, the emperor decreed that she be named a princess and sent to Siwa to marry.
She was so flustered that she forgot about it.
Now thinking about it, how could it be such a coincidence? She had an argument with Lu Chenshuang the day before, and the emperor asked her to marry the next day.
Naturally, she didn't believe that Lu Chenshuang and the Lu family had the ability to do something behind the scenes.
But if Lu Chenshuang hooked up with Mu Hansu, the situation would be different.
Although she didn't believe that Mu Hansu would fall in love with an abandoned woman who was not wanted by the Jingyang Marquis's Mansion, the facts were before her.
Moreover, it was Mu Hansu himself who proposed that she go to Shiva to marry. She asked herself that she had never offended Mu Hansu, so why did he target her like this?
Thinking of this, Princess Rong'an felt secretly annoyed. Regardless of whether this matter was caused by Lu Chenshuang or not, she was certain that it was her.
The banquet lasted for a long time, and Lu Chenshuang was a little tired. There were also noble ladies from aristocratic families who kept performing on stage.
Just when Lu Chenshuang was wondering when the palace banquet would end, Ning Wan'er beside her said, "Shuang'er, everyone is performing on stage, why don't you go?"
After spending time together at this banquet, Qu Ceyang, Ning Wan'er and Lu Chenshuang have become quite familiar with each other, at least on the surface.
Upon hearing this, Lu Chenshuang replied calmly: I don’t have any talents, what can I perform?
He treated patients and performed autopsies on corpses.
If you guys don't mind, I can help you guys out."
Upon hearing this, Qu Ceyang and Ning Wan'er quickly shrank their necks and said, "Forget it, forget it. Today is a great day, so let's not say those creepy words."
Unfortunately, some things often go against one's wishes. Even though Lu Chenshuang didn't want to be in the spotlight, someone still gave her the opportunity.
After the first performer finished his show, Princess Rong An said, "These noble ladies either play the piano or dance, there is nothing new.
I heard that Marquis Jingyang's former wife, Lu Chenshuang, is a versatile person, so why not invite her to come up and perform for us?"
Lu Chenshuang, who was eating, calmly put down the food in her hand upon hearing this. In fact, a thousand horses were galloping through her heart. Damn it, Rong An must have done this on purpose. He just wanted to embarrass her and make her lose face in front of so many people.
