Rebirth is not a dream.

Chapter 203 Performance

At the banquet, young ladies from various families took the stage to perform their talents, which was brilliant for a while. Due to Su Yue's stunning dance before, other women were afraid to try it easily, so no one went on stage to dance. Everyone chose to perform in the form of piano, calligraphy and painting, and some even presented their own carefully made embroidery to show their handicraft skills; others showed exquisite tea art performances.

Lu Anruo was the first to perform tea art on stage. Her graceful movements and the fragrance of tea won applause from the guests. Su Yue sat in the audience, quietly admiring the performance on stage and evaluating it in her heart. She felt that although Zhang Yanyan's piano skills were not bad, they were still slightly inferior to hers. However, Zhuge Shan from Beiwuhou Mansion's sword dance was eye-catching. Her sword skills were sharp and her posture was agile, like a fairy dancing, which was amazing. In addition, Xie Wanru's piano skills were even more unique. The melodious piano sound echoed in the banquet hall, as if it could penetrate people's hearts and make people intoxicated.

Finally, it was Shen Qianxue's turn to appear. She waved her hands and wrote a beautiful plum blossom seal script. The unique font style, coupled with her superb calligraphy skills, amazed everyone present. This banquet was full of talented women, each showing their strengths, bringing people a visual and auditory feast.

At this time, a melodious flute sound came, and everyone looked in the direction of the sound. They saw a woman in white slowly walking onto the stage, holding a jade flute, with an elegant posture, like a fairy descending to earth.

The flute sounded melodious and ethereal, which made people intoxicated. After the song, thunderous applause broke out from the audience.

"Who is this? Why haven't I seen him before?" "Yes, with such superb flute skills, he must be from a famous family." People were talking about it.

Su Yue's heart moved. She recognized this woman. She was Yuan Yaoyao, the legitimate daughter of Prince Rong. She had met her once before at a poetry gathering and thought she had an outstanding temperament. She didn't expect to be even more stunning when she saw her today.

Yuan Yao smiled and bowed to everyone, then left the stage. Su Yue thought to herself, it seems that there are quite a few talented women in the capital, and it is not impossible to attend such banquets in the future, which is still a good entertainment project.

After Yuan Yao finished his performance, he saluted the Emperor of Northern Yan and the Emperor.

Su Yue looked at Yuan Yao, and couldn't help but wonder in her heart, this little girl actually set her sights on the Emperor of Beiyan, who is old enough to be her father! Su Yue really couldn't understand what Prince Rong was planning. Did he really think that the Emperor of Beiyan would accept a little girl as a concubine? Or did he have other ulterior ambitions? Su Yue turned to look at Qin Yi beside her and asked softly: "Who is this Prince Rong?" Qin Yi replied: "Prince Rong is your majesty's ninth brother, but he has always kept a low profile. I didn't expect that he would let his daughter come out to perform today."

Su Yue asked doubtfully, "Does she fall for the Emperor of Beiyan or the Prince of Beiyan? Could it be that Da'an is really going to form an alliance with Beiyan through marriage?"

Qin Yi shook his head, indicating that he didn't know, but he continued: "Although I don't know either, the fourth princess has already married the second prince of Beiyan, so there shouldn't be any more marriages."

Su Yue frowned and asked in confusion: "Does that mean Yuan Yao has set her eyes on the prince of Beiyan? But why is she always staring at the Southern Prince?"

Su Yue noticed that Yuan Yao's eyes looking at the Southern King were indeed different, but she was very confused about this Southern King. Sometimes, he seemed aloof; and sometimes, he was like a funny guy who was hard to understand. What made Su Yue even more difficult to understand was what position the Southern King held in the eyes of Emperor Yan. These questions made Su Yue fall into deep thought.

The Emperor of Beiyan did not give the Emperor of Da'an a chance to form a marriage alliance, and he went back to the palace to rest first. After the Emperor of Beiyan left, the Emperor and the Empress also left together. The banquet ended in such a hasty manner. Su Yue originally thought that something would happen, but except that the Tenth Princess made a little trouble, nothing else happened. She couldn't tell what she felt in her heart. She was expecting to see a big show, but in the end she saw nothing, and she was fooled like a monkey. In short, Su Yue was very dissatisfied with this banquet. After leaving the palace, she went straight back to the Princess's Mansion, and she was too lazy to go back to the An Ning Marquis' Mansion.

Back in her yard, Su Yue looked up at the twinkling stars in the sky, but she felt a little confused and lost. She couldn't help thinking: "I have been here for more than a year, but what have I done during this time?" It seemed that everything was so vague, she seemed to have done a lot of things, but it seemed that she had accomplished nothing. This feeling made her fall into deep thought.

Then, a thought came to my mind: should I write a year-end summary? Is this thing that I used to write every year and every month in the workplace still useful now? Perhaps by sorting out the experiences of the past year, I can have a clearer understanding of what I should do, instead of living in a muddle-headed way like now.

Thinking carefully, she could indeed try to do something. For example, regarding the cotton affairs, Su Yue was determined to arrange this matter after the New Year. In addition, she was tired of the issue of Lanxin Lake and was really unwilling to deal with those royal relatives. However, in the land of Kyoto, it was not easy to smoothly carry out a business without sufficient background support. Therefore, she needed to think carefully about how to deal with these difficult interpersonal relationships and how to use the existing resources to promote the development of things.

Qin Yi hugged Su Yue from behind and said softly, "It's so late, my lady, why don't you go back to the house?"

Su Yue frowned slightly, turned to look at Qin Yi, and asked, "Is the Emperor of Beiyan going back? Has the matter of this assassin not been settled yet?"

Qin Yi nodded and replied, "The Sixth Prince has been confined to his house. I think the Emperor will deal with this matter after the New Year. The Sixth Prince will probably be demoted to a commoner, and the Yang family behind him will probably suffer as well."

Su Yue sighed softly and asked again: "Then... is this the real murderer?"

Qin Yi was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "Is this important? As long as you can give an explanation to the Emperor of Northern Yan, it will be fine. Besides, the reward from the Emperor will probably come down in a few days."

Su Yue looked at Qin Yi with some doubts and asked, "When you conferred the title of princess on me, didn't you give me those things? I still haven't received them. Can you really give them to me this time?"

Qin Yi smiled and said to Su Yue, "I will definitely give it to you this time. I'm afraid I will even let you go to the fiefdom." After hearing this, Su Yue couldn't help but feel a little excited and expectant, but also a little worried. She turned her head, looked at Qin Yi, and asked softly, "What about you?" Qin Yi smiled and replied, "I will go wherever my wife goes." His voice was gentle and firm, as if he had already made a decision.

Su Yue turned around and looked at Qin Yi seriously, trying to see some clues from his face. She wanted to know if he was really willing to follow her to the fiefdom, or if he was just saying it casually. Her eyes fell on Qin Yi's eyes, trying to see his true thoughts through those deep eyes. She asked softly, "Really?" Her tone was full of uncertainty and doubt, because she didn't know how sincere Qin Yi was, and how sincere she, a lonely soul from another world, was. All of this was unknown.

Qin Yi felt Su Yue's gaze, and he knew that she needed a positive answer. He gently held Su Yue's hand and said seriously: "Of course it's true, my lady, no matter where you go, I will be with you. Let's face the challenges and opportunities of the future together." His eyes were full of determination and love, which made Su Yue feel warm and at ease.

Su Yue smiled, with a touch of emotion in her eyes. She held Qin Yi's hand tightly and said, "Okay, let's face the challenges of the future together." The two walked into the house together. Su Yue thought that no matter what difficulties she would encounter in the future, as long as Qin Yi was by her side, she would be able to face them bravely. As for the title and fiefdom, let it go. She believed that fate had its own arrangements.
