The regent princess is strong and cool, and the beautiful prince loves her every day
Chapter 25 The Talent Show Begins
"Shh~" The little emperor put his index finger to his mouth and made a soft hissing sound, then slowly cast his gaze on Song Wanning who was kneeling on the ground with her head down.
Su Yueqing swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth and didn't ask any more questions.
"My dear ministers, please stand up. There is no need to be restrained." The little emperor walked up the steps, turned around and shook his wide dragon robe, his voice majestic.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Song Wanning slowly stood up and sat quietly beside Su Yueqing, eating cakes happily. She glanced at the stage inadvertently and happened to meet the emperor's eyes.
"Cousin, am I dazzled? Isn't that man Huang Zhan, the relative of the Regent? Why is he wearing a yellow robe? Is he rebelling?"
"Silly Aning, Huang Zhan is the regent's relative, the regent's nephew. The regent's nephew is the current emperor," Su Yueqing explained.
"Cough cough cough..." Song Wanning was so surprised that she choked and kept coughing.
"Aning, drink some water quickly." Su Yueqing thoughtfully poured her a glass of water.
"Thank you..." Song Wanning smoothed her chest with her hand, "Thank you, cousin."
The little emperor on the stage saw her chubby cheeks and red eyes, and thought of the night she ate five buns in one breath, and he couldn't help but smacking his lips.
"What is the emperor laughing at?" a graceful woman beside the little emperor asked curiously.
"It's nothing, mother. I just suddenly thought of something interesting." Xiao Jingzhan made an excuse to get away with it.
Xiao Jingzhan is the current emperor, and the woman next to him is the current empress dowager, Xiao Jingzhan's biological mother.
"Hey, your uncle is here today too. How strange! How come your mother has never seen the two young ladies sitting next to him?" After the empress dowager showed concern for Xiao Jingzhan, she looked towards Xiao Mochen's seat. Unexpectedly, she saw him sitting there drinking tea.
"Mother, why don't you ask the emperor's uncle yourself." Xiao Jingzhan said faintly. He was also very curious. He was curious whether the emperor's uncle really liked Su Yueqing.
After all, it was he who requested the imperial decree for the marriage, he was the one who followed her that day, and he even sat next to her today.
"Hmph, your uncle has a cold face every day. Talking to him is like entering an ice cellar. Your mother has just recovered from a cold, and she must not catch a cold again." The Queen Mother couldn't help but shudder after she said this.
"Mother, the banquet has begun." Xiao Jingzhan reminded.
After the sound of a gong, all kinds of music started playing together, nectar filled the glass cups, and jade liquid was poured into amber cups. The dancers' dresses swayed like waves, and their figures were graceful, as if they were walking on clouds, dancing in the hall.
The dancers dispersed and the banquet came to the part where the ladies from aristocratic families took to the stage to perform their talents.
The so-called Spring Banquet is a good time for children from noble families to seek marriage partners.
This Spring Banquet was the Empress Dowager's idea. She wanted to use this opportunity to find a suitable noble lady for the Emperor.
Although the emperor is only fifteen years old, the harem cannot be vacant, so it is better to make plans early.
Xiao Jingzhan naturally knew what his mother meant, but he could not disobey her, so he had to come.
However, when he saw Song Wanning coming, he became a little interested. Watching foodies eat always increases one's appetite.
That day, he and Song Wanning were together with Baizhi and Baishao, and they intentionally concealed their identities. They happened to be talking about the Spring Banquet a few days later, and seeing that Song Wanning was interested in attending, he kept it in mind.
After all, Song Wanning is much more pleasing to the eye than those pretentious ladies from aristocratic families. She dares to speak, act and eat. With her around, things can be less boring.
"Ladies and young ladies, is there any young lady willing to show off her skills and talents at today's palace banquet?" The Queen Mother asked softly, seeing that the groundwork had been laid.
"Oh no, it's time to start selecting people for performance." Su Yueqing felt a little itchy on her face. She scratched it through her veil and talked to herself.
[Tongzi, the show has already started. I have completed my mission, right? Have I received my points?] Su Yueqing suddenly thought of the system that sells fake goods while scratching her face, and asked with her mind.
[Master, 500 points have been received. ]
Su Yueqing entered the space and saw that the money had indeed arrived. There were now 1400 points on the screen.
[By the way, why hasn’t my face healed yet? Today is clearly the third day, why hasn’t there been any change at all? Are you lying to me and cheating me out of my points? ]
The system was silent for a while, then said quietly: [Master, the effect of the medicine may be delayed, there may be a buffer period of 1-2 days.]
[Buffer your head! Refund....] Before Su Yueqing could even utter the word "refund", the system immediately issued a new task.
[Ding! New task has arrived! Win the first prize at the banquet and make a big splash. You will be rewarded with 600 points and an extra pill of Shuhen Pill as compensation.]
[This time, the Shuhen Pills are not knockoffs, right? ] Su Yueqing asked cautiously.
【The goods are genuine and the price is reasonable. 】
Su Yueqing rubbed her hands excitedly, 600 points was not a small amount, and the key was to give her a genuine Shuhen Pill. However, it didn't seem easy to win the first prize at the banquet, after all, these noble ladies from aristocratic families studied music, chess, calligraphy and painting all day long, and they were all talented.
The Queen Mother glanced at the women below and continued, "To show my appreciation, I have specially prepared a night-shining pearl from the East China Sea, a piece of Hetian jade, and a box of gold, silver and jewelry as a reward for the first place."
Su Yueqing's eyes lit up after hearing this. These were all treasures, especially the box of jewelry, which was so attractive.
Now she is preparing for a new store, which will definitely cost a lot of money. After it opens, the cash flow cannot be interrupted and she will have to spend a lot of money. Although she has money, who would complain about having too much?
After the Queen Mother finished speaking, several young ladies from ministers' families came on stage to perform.
Su Yueqing admired it for a long time and had to say that women in ancient times were multi-talented and good at singing and dancing.
"Empress Dowager, I am here to show my ugliness." The speaker was Zhao Yunyan, the legitimate daughter of the Minister of Revenue Zhao Shengshi. She had thin shoulders and waist, a tall figure, and a pretty face.
"Aning, did you feel that the woman glared at me when she stood up?" Su Yueqing leaned towards Song Wanning and asked in confusion.
Song Wanning's face flashed with a hint of worry. "Cousin, Zhao Yunyan is the legitimate daughter of the Minister of Revenue. She and Chu Yuheng, the legitimate daughter of Marquis Wu'an, are close friends. They have a very close relationship."
"Oh, then she might try to trip me up." Su Yueqing spread her hands helplessly. She felt that she was often targeted since she came here.
Zhao Yunyan walked up to the stage gracefully and sat down next to the guzheng that had been placed there. She was elegant and noble. Her slender white fingers first plucked the guzheng twice to test the sound. Then she stood up and bowed lightly in the direction of the empress dowager and the emperor, showing the demeanor of a noble lady from aristocratic family.
Afterwards, Zhao Yunyan placed both hands completely on the guzheng, lowered her eyes, and moved her fingers slightly. The elegant sound of the guzheng echoed in the hall, clear, melodious, gentle and low.
"You played well." Su Yueqing gave an objective evaluation, "But there are a few notes that are not played correctly, which needs to be improved."
Song Wanning was fascinated by what she heard. When she heard Su Yueqing say this, she asked curiously, "Cousin, do you also know how to play musical instruments?"
In Song Wanning's impression, her cousin lived a very hard life and even had problems with eating. She probably had no energy to learn music, chess, calligraphy and painting.
"Of course!" Su Yueqing patted her chest proudly, "I am an all-round player. I can fight, recite, play the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting."
"Cousin, you are so awesome!" Song Wanning looked at Su Yueqing with admiration.
Xiao Mochen listened to Su Yueqing silently and his interest in Su Yueqing deepened. How capable is this woman?
When the song ended, Zhao Yunyan slowly stood up and said modestly, "Empress Dowager, Your Majesty, I am honored to present my humble service."
"Miss Zhao is indeed beautiful and talented. I like her very much." The Queen Mother said with a smile.
Su Yueyao sneered disdainfully and let Zhao Yunyan show off for a while before she came on stage and outshone the other beauties.
But before she stood up to ask for a performance, Zhao Yunyan spoke again, "Your Majesty, I have heard that the daughter of the Prime Minister, Su Yueqing, returned to the capital not long ago. She is both talented and beautiful. I wonder if I, your humble servant, would be lucky enough to admire Miss Su's grace?"
Su Yueyao had just stood halfway when she sat down again. This Zhao Yunyan was so annoying. She knew clearly that Su Yueqing was a idiot who could do nothing. Even if she wanted to embarrass herself first, she should wait until she finished her performance.
Forget it, let Su Yueqing show off her charm after she embarrasses herself.
"Oh no, what is supposed to come has finally come. It's my turn to appear." Su Yueqing twisted her neck. She had been sitting for so long that her neck was sore. It was a good opportunity for her to get up and move around.
