“It looks like the clothing business is going to be more successful than we expected.”

Wan Ning found a secluded place on the second floor and secretly observed the young men and women waiting for their turn on the first floor. Some of them were old friends or childhood friends, and now that they were reunited here, they inevitably gathered together to chat in excitement.

Prince Mu Xiu appeared at some point, standing behind Wan Ning and suddenly mentioned the clothing business. Wan Ning turned around in surprise and asked, "What?"

Mu Xiu stepped forward and stood shoulder to shoulder with her. His eyes fell on the well-dressed men and women downstairs, and he added, "Look at the clothes they are wearing. Most of them are the product of the joint project."

Wan Ning observed carefully, pointed at one of them and said, "She doesn't have it."

"Although she didn't wear clothes from the joint project, you can see that her handkerchief, earrings, and the hairpin on her head all have those elements. She's a smart person. She knows that her clothes may be the same as others, so she avoids using small accessories to add the finishing touch." This is not a problem for Mu Xiu. Facing Wan Ning's deliberate test, he answered very well.

"As expected of Prince Mu Xiu, you are observant, meticulous and considerate. But we are almost seated, why are you here?" This talent show will also select the person who will marry Prince Mu Xiu: "Can't wait to see the beauties in advance?"

Mu Xiu didn't want to pay attention to her, so he stood aside with his hands behind his back: "Meng Zhu stays with the Queen Mother. I came up to get some fresh air and see if there's anything I can help with."

Wan Ning looked over gratefully. Mu Xiu was still as cold-faced but warm-hearted as before he traveled through time, keeping a proper distance. In the quiet moment, a quarrel suddenly broke out downstairs.

"Who do you say is a fake?"

"Everyone knows who the fake one is. It's something that everyone knows, but she pretends to be ignorant."

Another person nearby joined the fray, sneered, and said sarcastically, "Humph, some people are just thick-skinned. They usually follow the young lady around, but it turns out they just want to replace her. I feel sorry for Miss Du. She made the wrong friends." She turned sideways and glanced at the maid next to her, and asked, "Ruyin, you have been by my side and taken care of me for many years. Do you also want to replace me?"

Ruyin had been with Miss Sun since she was young, and she understood Miss Sun's intentions. She immediately agreed, "Miss Sun has taken good care of Ruyin, so Ruyin must be loyal to Miss Sun and will never do something shameful. Besides, no matter how hard a pheasant tries, it can never turn into a phoenix."

Liu Qingyu's face was blue and purple. She didn't want to swallow her anger and let others bully her, but she didn't want to waste time arguing with the maid and make people think she was narrow-minded. She remained silent for a while. But she felt that everyone around her was looking at her, waiting to see her make a fool of herself.

Mu Xiu on the second floor saw everything. He patted Wan Ning on the shoulder, pointed downstairs and asked, "Don't you want to go down and take a look?"

Wan Ning looked again and again, and found that the downstairs had returned to silence, so she turned to face Mu Xiu with her back to the window, waved her hand and confidently refused: "No, today is such an important day, they know what's going on and won't fight."

Mu Xiu frowned and said, "Are you sure?"

Wan Ning was suspicious and turned to look in the direction of his gaze. She saw that the downstairs had become a mess in a short time. Liu Qingyu grabbed Ruyin's hair with one hand and pulled the collar of the lady who mocked her with the other hand; the lady refused to give up and pulled Liu Qingyu's bun with one hand and pushed her face with the other hand. The lady next to her was frightened and tried to pull them apart, but was forced to join the fight. The young masters on the side stepped forward to persuade them to stop fighting, but were also attacked indiscriminately. Gradually, the historical grievances between Xiu Nan were also brought to the table. Everyone's forced dignity disappeared in an instant, and the scene was extremely chaotic.

"Oh my God! Let's talk next time. I have to go downstairs to take charge of the situation. You should go back soon too." This scene was beyond Wan Ning's expectations. She hurriedly said goodbye to Mu Xiu and ran downstairs.

Soon her voice could be heard from downstairs: "What are you doing? What are you doing? Do you really think this is a vegetable market? It's disgraceful for young masters and young ladies to fight here! It's a joke!"

Hearing the voice of stopping, the entangled young masters and young ladies tilted their heads to look, and only let go of the hand reluctantly after confirming that the person coming was Princess Le Yan. Now their delicate makeup became smudged, their exquisite clothes became wrinkled, their complicated buns were completely ruined, and their faces were filled with aggrieved and unwilling expressions.

Before she could react, a slender figure suddenly rushed out from the crowd, hugged Wan Ning's neck and gave her a big hug. There was some coquettishness and fear in her words, and even some crying, and she said: "Beautiful sister, Rulan missed you so much, and I can't believe I see you here! They just fought, it's so scary here, now that you are here, beautiful sister, I am not afraid anymore!"

Wan Ning froze there, and quietly pulled herself out of her embrace, and replied awkwardly, "Uh, yes, what a coincidence."

Gao Rulan wiped the tears from her eyes with a handkerchief, raised her head and smiled sweetly, and asked, "Beautiful sister, I didn't expect you to come to participate in the selection. Which minister is your father?"

"Humph," the disheveled Liu Qingyu snorted when he saw this, and couldn't help but complain: "Where did this country bumpkin come from? How can such an ignorant person participate in the talent show?"

Miss Sun did not want to miss the opportunity to insult her, and she muttered cowardly: "Can't some fakes still participate in the talent show?"

"You!" Liu Qingyu glared at her fiercely, "Stop talking nonsense. Even if he is a fake, he is more noble than you. Do you mind if Prime Minister Du talks to your father for a few words?"

Although Miss Sun is not afraid of Liu Qingyu, she represents the Du family after all. Even though Prime Minister Du has been neglected after the emperor came to power, the power of the emperor emeritus will not collapse. A lean camel is still bigger than a horse, so she has to swallow her anger for the time being.

"Alright! The talent show is about to begin. How are you going to appear on stage like this? I'll give you some time to get ready."

"Yes, Princess Le Yan." The maid next to her hurriedly cleaned up the mess for her lady.

"Princess?" Gao Rulan, who had been keeping out of the matter, showed a surprised expression at this moment, and looked at Wan Ning innocently: "Beautiful sister, you are actually Princess Le Yan. Our mothers are good sisters, so we are also good sisters! I have always wanted to have a sister, and now my dream has come true. Sister"

Gao Rulan was very excited about the news. She jumped up again and hugged Wan Ning tightly. Wan Ning was frightened by her enthusiasm and raised her head to meet Mu Xiu's eyes. They smiled at each other.

Fortunately, after the talent show officially started, all the appearances were completed smoothly. The Queen Mother was also satisfied. For her, as long as it was not unconventional and followed the rules, it was perfect.

After the show, Wan Ning left all the showmen and showwomen in the backstage to arrange their destinations: "Dear young masters and young ladies, today's show is officially over. Welcome everyone to participate in this talent show. I hope you will have fun during this period. Now please bring the necessary luggage and only one accompanying person, and follow our staff to move to your residence in the palace. Finally, welcome everyone again!"
