I am Yuan Niaoniao

It's Mid-Autumn Festival again, and the palace is preparing for a big celebration as princesses and princes from various countries are all here.

"Niao Niao, Xixi, the Queen Mother in the palace is going to hold a flower-viewing banquet on the Mid-Autumn Festival. These are the jewelry and clothes that your mother has prepared for you. When the time comes, you should get dressed and follow your mother into the palace." Bai Yue'e specially prepared brand new clothes. When she has nothing to do, she likes to buy new clothes for them. It's good for the two babies to be beautiful.

"Thank you, mother," Yuan Niaoniao and Yuan Xixi said in unison. Dongxue and Lingdang then stepped forward to receive their respective young ladies' clothing.

"Okay, then don't run around before the Mid-Autumn Festival. Practice what girls should know. There will be talent shows then, and you won't be required to shine. At least you can't bring shame to the Yuan family." Thinking about the fact that they have been proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting since childhood, there is nothing to worry about. The two smart children will definitely not embarrass the master.

"Mom, don't worry." Thinking about the talent show, they are omnipotent and know everything, so there is really no need to worry. As long as they don't show off too much and keep the scale right, it will be fine.

Today is Mid-Autumn Festival.

"Miss, you are dressed up." Yuan Niao Niao looked at her. Her lavender skirt was embroidered with orchids in white silk thread. She was wearing a light yellow shawl. She still had her hair in her usual flying fairy bun, with purple agate beads pinned on it. Her eyebrows and eyes were full of the agility that a girl should have. "Miss, purple suits you very well. You are so beautiful." Dongxue also discovered that her young lady was getting more and more beautiful as she grew up. Her childish face before was now carefully dressed up. It was really a little fairy who had grown up in our family.

"Is sister ready?" Yuan Xixi, who was dressed up, was standing outside the door and couldn't wait to shout.

"Okay, look how anxious you are." When he opened the door, he saw Yuan Xixi, who was wearing a pastel-colored dress, half-draped hair in a light bun, and a pink peach blossom hairpin, looking like a blooming peach blossom. "Hey, where did this peach blossom fairy come from?" he couldn't help but joked.

"You who came from heaven, this fairy has been waiting for you for a long time, come quickly, mother is waiting in the hall," Yuan Xixi continued without any shame, and the two of them came to the hall laughing and joking.

"Sorry to have kept you waiting for so long"

Seeing the two of them wearing the clothes he had chosen, which fit them very well, he could not help but nod with satisfaction. "Let's go." The two carriages set off towards the palace.

As soon as he got off the carriage, he ran into Jin Jingni. Jin Jingni, who hadn't seen Yuan Niao Niao for a long time, found that she was becoming more and more charming and beautiful. No wonder he wanted her to be his princess. His heart was bitter, so he lowered his eyes to hold back the sadness of not being able to love.

"Greetings, Madam Yuan and the two Miss Yuans," Jin Jingni was the first to bow.

Bai Yue'e nodded, "Miss Jin."

"Miss Jin." Yuan Niaoniao and Xixi also bowed slightly to her.

"Let's go in together, the dinner is about to start." Bai Yue'e took Niao Niao and Xixi in.

Jin Jingni, who was walking behind, was a little emotional. "I didn't expect that Yuan Niaoniao is so beautiful. She has been hiding herself from people for many years. She is really eye-catching tonight. You must do your best and don't embarrass His Royal Highness Prince Chen." Tonight's flower-viewing banquet is called flower-viewing, but it is actually a stage for the young ladies of various families to show their talents. If they are outstanding, they may even marry into the royal family. This is an inherent tradition of the Mid-Autumn Festival dinner.

The female members of the family gathered at the Queen's side first, while the men went to the main hall to wait for the Emperor to come together after the court session.

As soon as Yuan Niaoniao came in, she attracted everyone's attention and discussion.

"That's the eldest daughter of the Yuan family that His Royal Highness Prince Chen wants to marry. She's so beautiful. I never realized she was so bright and charming before." Lin Lin, the daughter of the Minister of War, nudged Feng Fei'er, who was sitting at the table next to her, with her elbow: "Fei'er, don't you agree?"

"You're still a vixen." Feng Fei'er couldn't stand anyone being more outstanding than her, so she didn't agree with Lin Lin's words. Because their fathers worked in the same department, they were good friends since childhood. So she spoke without hesitation.

"She's just average," Princess Jingxin, who heard the conversation behind them, turned around and said disdainfully, "You don't like her either?"

"Who likes that kind of vixen? She's just average, not as dazzling as Princess Jingxin," Feng Fei'er flattered her in a subtle way, because she didn't know Han Haotian was interested in Jingxin at the moment. She just needed to get along well with Princess Anyue, and with her friendly relationship with the princess, she might be able to take the opportunity to become the official consort, not to mention that Princess Jingxin was very close to the emperor. There were more benefits than disadvantages in pleasing her.

Princess Jingxin was very pleased with Feng Feier's words, so she was willing to get close to Feng Feier in words. Of course, she looked up to her because she knew her identity. Even though she was the daughter of the Governor of Luocheng, she was also the future concubine of Han Haotian.

Hearing their conversation, Lin Lin didn't say anything. Although she looked down on Feng Feier's flattery, she was still wary of Princess Jingxin.

Different from the flattery here, Yuan Niaoniao and Yuan Xixi sat upright and accepted the attention. This was the first time they showed their faces after getting engaged, and being noticed and talked about was inevitable, but it was a piece of cake for them and not enough to make them feel uneasy.

"The Queen has arrived, the Emperor has arrived." The eunuch's voice sounded, and everyone fell silent. They stood up and saluted the Emperor and the Empress who came in. "Your Highness, Your Highness."

"Stand up," Han Junwu waved his hand. "Everyone, please take a seat."

Then the heads of each family sat next to their wives and listened to the emperor's daily conversation.

"My dear ministers, today we are gathered together to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival. Don't be restrained. Let go and have fun. Eat and drink. After you are full, let's go to the imperial garden arranged by the Queen to enjoy the flowers." Han Junwu finished speaking.

"Serve the dishes!" Following the eunuch's voice, the palace maids carrying delicious dishes served the dishes in an orderly manner.

The palace's vocal band began to play, the dancers danced gracefully, and the dinner reached its climax amid delicious food and laughter.

"I hope everyone has had enough. I heard that the talented ladies have prepared wonderful programs to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival tonight," said the Queen with a smile.

"I have to appreciate it carefully and not let you down."

"Then who will be the first to perform?" The Queen Mother heard this while looking at Jin Jingni. After all, she was the daughter-in-law she recognized, so it was inevitable that she would be the first to perform, which would also help Yier gain some face.

"Then let me take the lead first." Jin Jingni stood up. Seeing her lover sitting there, although she could not marry him, she also wanted him to see her outstanding talent, which was not inferior to Yuan Niaoniao. So she was the first to perform. "I'm going to perform the ribbon dance." After saying that, she took out a red ribbon and danced. After a stunning dance performance, applause rang out like thunder. Of course, some of the applause was for the sake of giving face to Prince Yi.

"Yes, yes, yes." The emperor said yes three times in a row. It was obvious that he was very satisfied with his daughter-in-law Yiwu, and also expressed his approval of Jin Jingni.

"Reward! I will give this newly acquired agate coral stone mountain to Jingni." The Queen Mother very considerately followed the Emperor's words and rewarded Jin Jingni.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, and thank you, Your Majesty." Jin Jingni accepted the reward with a smile. She was very confident in her dance, but it was a pity that she didn't know how that person would comment on it. The dance was performed for him, but he might not know it.

"I heard that the two daughters of the Yuan family are also multi-talented. Is Madam Yuan hiding them from me?" Han Junwu suddenly said.

Yuan Niaoniao and Bai Yue'e looked at each other, and then stood up without being humble or arrogant. They knew that they would be targeted. After all, if they lost face, it would be the loss of the Prince of Chen. Oh, they didn't expect it to be so soon. They were prepared, but they didn't expect to be ranked behind Jin Jingni. It was inevitable that people would compare them. "Your servant Yuan Niaoniao pays respect to the emperor and the queen."

"Your Majesty is joking," Bai Yue'e stood up and clasped her hands, "Xixi, come out and greet the Emperor and Empress."

"Your servant Yuan Xixi pays respect to His Majesty the Emperor and His Majesty the Empress."

"Stand up, it seems that Madam Yuan is still good at giving birth. Both daughters are beautiful, as pretty as flowers and jades."

"Your Majesty, you are too kind. Don't praise the two little girls. They will become proud." Madam Yuan said softly.

"Haha, Your Majesty, please stop making fun of Madam Yuan. I wonder what talents the two Miss Yuans will show today?" The Queen quickly responded.

"Your Majesty, I will paint a picture with you."

"Come here, paper and ink screen."

The two sisters were seen standing on each side of the rice paper, picking up the brushes and starting to paint.

"It's amazing. Two people can paint together without tearing the paper." Someone couldn't help but exclaimed.

"The painting is finished, Your Majesty, please let me explain it to you." Yuan Niaoniao took a step forward. "The picture of flowers, birds and the moon that I painted symbolizes a night of full moon and blooming flowers. Your sister's painting is of a gathering under the moon, drinking and chatting happily." Yuan Niaoniao said as she pushed the screen to turn around and show the side she painted to everyone. "The two paintings symbolize the full moon and blooming flowers to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival, and also symbolize peace and prosperity in the country."

"Good, very good." The emperor was very satisfied.

"I have a pair of white jade ruyi bracelets, which I will give to you two sisters today."

"Thank you for the reward, Her Majesty." The two took the reward and sat back in their seats.

"Hmph, that's nothing great." Feng Feier said disdainfully.

"Humph, painting is nothing, it can't compare to your dancing, Jingni." Feng Feier approached Jin Jingni and said,

Jin Jingni didn't say anything. She knew that the painting was of a very high quality, but she never thought that she was equally good.

"Hmph, a trivial skill, everyone can draw." Princess Jingxin was naturally disdainful. But she didn't want to perform on stage, after all, she was a distinguished guest.

After Yuan Niaoniao and the others performed, it was Feng Feier's turn. She was wearing a thin shirt that covered her curvy figure, a white long skirt, and her sleeves fluttering. Feng Feier's dancing was slightly inferior to Jin Jingni's. She danced the Jinghong dance, with a beautiful face and a seductive dance. This dance won the hearts of many people, but Han Haotian, who she liked, didn't look at her for long, just lowered his head and drank. The other young masters were attracted and couldn't take their eyes off her. Feng Feier was good-looking, but it was a pity that she was already married.

After a wonderful dance, Feng Feier was covered in sweat and her clothes were clinging to her body, making her look even more seductive.

Seeing that Han Haotian didn't even open his eyes to look at her, Feng Fei'er immediately became annoyed again. Why didn't he look at her, she had prepared it carefully. !

"Appreciate" Zhen Luoyi looked at Feng Feier with a mocking look. Such an extraordinary performance was really embarrassing.

Princess Jingxin was not in the mood to appreciate it, otherwise she would have laughed at Feng Feier's extraordinary performance. Then the queen rewarded all those who performed equally to show fairness.

After the performance, everyone went to the Imperial Garden to enjoy the flowers, and the dinner was over.

They gathered in groups of three or five to admire the precious flowers and plants planted by the Queen herself.

Yuan Niaoniao and Yuan Xixi held Bai Yue'e's hand and mixed in the crowd.

Nian Shiyun looked around and finally saw Yuan Niaoniao and Yuan Xixi. He only knew that she was a foodie but didn't expect that they had such a talented and literary side. Moreover, Yuan Xixi was dressed up so carefully today that her every frown and smile touched his heart.

"Xixi" walked up to the group and said, "Long time no see."

"Brother Shiyun, long time no see."

"Nian Shiyun has met Madam Yuan."

"Hello, Mr. Nian." Looking at the gentle and elegant Nian Shiyun, Bai Yue'e was not disgusted.

He came to look for Yuan Xixi, and somehow he wanted to spend more time with her. "Xixi, there are some rare goldenrods over there, let's go take a look together?"

"Okay, Brother Shiyun," Yuan Xixi agreed without thinking.

"Go ahead," Bai Yue'e naturally understood his thoughts, and took away Yuan Xixi's hand that was wrapped around her arm, "Go play with Young Master Nian."
