When the queen heard this, she smiled slightly, looked at the princess with a reproachful look, and said, "You little girl, you only know how to tease your mother."

Little did she know that this was too easy for Shen Yiran. She chose the Chinese department in college and she loved learning ancient poetry the most.

All the female relatives present went along with the gesture and let the queen take the lead.

Empress Sun really enjoyed the feeling of being praised by everyone. She drank a few glasses of wine today, her cheeks were slightly red, her eyes were a little blurry, and she said, "Forget it, forget it. Then I will show my ugliness."

Afterwards, she thought for a moment and opened her red lips: "A flower does not bloom among a hundred flowers." Everyone cheered again.

Then, the women present answered in turn.

"One flower does not bloom in a crowd of other flowers."

"The flowers fade and the flowers fly all over the sky."

"Flowers fall and water flows."

"Flowers near tall buildings hurt visitors' hearts."

Ren Jingxuan was next to Shen Yiran, and she replied, "A pot of wine among the flowers."

Ren Jingxuan gloated and lowered his voice and said, "Sister-in-law, it's your turn now. Don't bring shame to our Prime Minister's Mansion."

She hated Shen Yiran to the core. Her mother was still unwell and couldn't come to the banquet today. It was all because of this bitch. Ren Jingxuan hoped that Shen Yiran would behave in an ugly way today so that she could relieve her hatred.

At this moment, Ren Jingzhi and Yu Gongyu on the opposite side, as well as the Imperial Concubine on the high platform were all very nervous and worried for her.

Shen Yiran looked calm, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised, her eyes shining with confidence, and she answered slowly: "Flowers bloom and fall, and there is no place to find them."

As soon as this sentence was uttered, everyone fell into deep thought. They racked their brains but could not think of an appropriate response. The scene instantly fell silent.

At this moment, the emperor actually clapped his hands and praised loudly, "Prince Ren, your wife is truly talented. It is truly unexpected."

Everyone looked at each other, their eyes full of doubt. How could Shen Yiran, who grew up in the countryside, answer so fluently? And once he opened his mouth, it was unbearable.

Someone lowered his voice and whispered, "Could it be that he knew the topic in advance and was prepared for it?"

Some people also secretly speculated: "Perhaps he had some kind of adventure in the countryside and acquired this talent."

The queen frowned slightly and fell into deep thought.

The emperor stared at Shen Yiran with interest, looking forward to seeing what amazing performance she would have next.

The prince was also puzzled, thinking to himself: "It's really strange that this girl, who came from the countryside, has such talent. Is there someone guiding her behind the scenes?"

Ren Jingzhi, Yu Gongyu, and the Imperial Noble Consort then breathed a sigh of relief.

Ren Jingxuan was so angry that he stamped his feet, thinking with resentment in his heart: "This damn Shen Yiran must have had some shitty luck!"

Ren Jingxuan, feeling unwilling, came up to Shen Yunqiao and whispered a few words. Shen Yunqiao nodded happily.

Shen Yiran could tell at a glance that they were discussing how to deal with him. Heard that they didn't have a good relationship, but in dealing with him, they had the same goal, which was not to make things easy for him, so they worked together.

Shen Yunqiao stood up, bowed to Queen Sun, and suggested, "Since my sister returned home, we two sisters have a very good relationship. For this flower viewing banquet, we have specially choreographed a dance. Can we perform it for everyone?"

The queen smiled and nodded in agreement. She acted like this on the surface, but in her heart she was hoping that someone would trip up Shen Yiran.

Shen Yunqiao looked at Shen Yiran proudly, her eyes seemed to say: "See how you make a fool of yourself this time!"

Shen Yiran saw her smug look clearly, like a funny clown. The reason why she was willing to dance with her was just to reveal her true face through her. She had already seen through Shen Yunqiao's little tricks.

As the music started, Shen Yunqiao began to dance gracefully, but Shen Yiran stood still. Everyone started to whisper to each other, wondering if Shen Yiran could not dance at all.

"This country girl is not presentable. She probably can't even dance."

"Look at her stunned look, it's really embarrassing."

Various mocking voices came one after another. When Shen Yunqiao heard these words, the smug look on her face became more and more obvious, with the corners of her mouth raised high, her eyes full of contempt and disdain, as if she was announcing her victory to Shen Yiran.

When the imperial concubine saw this scene while sitting on the high platform, she couldn't help but clench the handkerchief in her hand, leaned forward slightly, frowned, stared at Shen Yiran, pursed her lips, her face full of tension and worry.

Ren Jingzhi was also nervous. He clenched his fists involuntarily. His eyes were filled with concern and worry. He stared at Shen Yiran without blinking.

After Empress Sun and the Crown Prince looked at each other, they both had expressions of watching a good show on their faces.

Yu Gongyu stood quietly, his hands folded in front of him, seemingly calm, but his mind was already churning. At this moment, he was thinking quickly about how to help Shen Yiran out of the predicament.

At this moment, Shen Yiran suddenly moved. Her dance moves were so light and graceful that they were even better than Shen Yunqiao's. Everyone was stunned.

Shen Yunqiao tried to speed up the pace to save the situation, but Shen Yiran always responded cleverly. The two of them were like two colorful butterflies chasing each other, with graceful figures and fluttering clothes.

The dance finally came to the end. In the last spinning movement, a barely perceptible cunning suddenly flashed across Shen Yunqiao's pretty face. She raised her arm slightly, seemingly casually, and pretended to pull lightly, and took advantage of the situation to pull off Shen Yiran's veil.

In an instant, the whole place was silent, so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Everyone's eyes widened, their mouths slightly open, as if they were cast under a spell. The men stared at Shen Yiran with obsessed eyes, their faces full of amazement.

The women were jealous, with envy and resentment in their eyes. Empress Sun covered her lips slightly, with a flash of surprise in her eyes; the emperor also sat up slightly straighter, showing an admiring expression.

Ren Jingxuan gritted his teeth, jealousy in his eyes almost overflowing, while Ren Jingzhi looked proud, with the corners of his mouth unconsciously raised.

Yu Gongyu looked at Shen Yiran with surprise and patted his chest lightly, as if he was relieved.

Shen Yiran was not surprised by everyone's reaction, because just when the poison on her face was cleared, even she herself was amazed by the original owner's beauty.

There was a long silence. In Shen Yunqiao's eyes, Shen Yiran was too ugly and scared everyone. At this time, she didn't even raise her head, and pretended to apologize hurriedly: "Sister, I'm so sorry, it's all my fault that I was clumsy and accidentally pulled off your veil. I hope you won't blame me."

Shen Yiran did not say anything. Shen Yunqiao showed a hint of pride on her face, and then said: "Sister, I know you wear a veil because you are worried about scaring others, but I really didn't mean it."

At this time, the somewhat idiotic son of Lord Wang shouted at the top of his voice: "Sister is so beautiful, I want to marry her."
