She married a dying prince and she won three babies.

Yu Chaoyang glanced at the princess: "Mother?"

"Go if you want to." The princess said calmly.

Once she leaves, Yu Yuanzheng will be the only one left.

Did she do it on purpose?

"Mother, I'm afraid my daughter-in-law will be embarrassed." Yu Yuanzheng said a little embarrassedly after Yu Chaoyang moved to the table next to her.

"It's okay, just recite a poem you've read." The princess didn't care.

When Yu Yuanzheng heard this, she felt no pressure, but she didn't dare to recite poetry. She suspected that there had been time travelers in this dynasty. If she recited a poem, there was a possibility that she would encounter the same poem as the other one. It would be better for her to play the piano, so it didn't matter if the tune was repeated.

According to statistics, there are 12 tables in the hall with idioms on the rice dumplings.

Then each table that wanted to participate in the performance went to register with Eunuch Chen and began to arrange to go on stage.

Eunuch Chen was the chief eunuch of the Queen.

"I asked the Queen to arrange many programs. Did everyone have a good time?" After drinking two glasses of wine, the emperor began to chat with everyone.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. The program is so rich, all of which are things we young people like to play." A silly boy spoke first.

"This kid really doesn't care about the occasion. He likes to jump around everywhere." The princess muttered softly.

"Mother, who is he?" Yu Yuanzheng didn't know him.

"He is Zhao Jinyu, the eldest son of Prime Minister Zhao. He used to have a good relationship with Ziqi."

Yu Yuanzheng looked at Zhao Jinyu again. He was a little thin, with relatively large eyes and a long face. His hair was half combed and crowned on top of his head. He looked very energetic.

There was a little girl sitting next to him, about fifteen years old.

When the little girl saw Yu Yuanzheng looking at their table, she actually smiled sweetly at her.

They don't seem to know each other.

"Mother, is the girl next to Master Zhao his sister?"

"Yes, that girl used to often come to the palace with her brother to play chess. She was a very lively girl named Zhao Zhirou."

The songs and dances prepared by the palace were temporarily removed, and the performances of each table began.

When the first performance came on stage, Yu Yuanzheng didn't expect that it was the Nanhua County Lady.

She performed a ribbon dance. Did she know that the Queen had prepared this game long ago?

However, I heard that in ancient palace banquets, young men and women from various families would compete with each other to show off their talents in front of the emperor, empress, and other powerful people.

If you haven't practiced this dance before, it's impossible to dance it well.

The Lady of Nanhua County was dressed in red with her skirt fluttering in the wind, like a fairy from heaven, and the silk ribbon in her hand danced in her hand as if it were alive.

When she finished dancing, she won applause.

Her rosy face was full of a smug smile, and Yu Yuanzheng clearly saw her looking at Yu Chaoyang with a provocative look.

Yu Yuanzheng only found out today that Yu Chaoyang had taken the position of Crown Prince's Consort that she most desired.

If the Yu family had not taken the initiative and arranged this marriage before the position of Crown Prince fell into the hands of the Second Young Master, it is estimated that the Princess of Nanhua would have married the Second Young Master.

As a county lady, it is impossible for her to rush to the palace to propose marriage before the position of the crown prince has been decided.

This is interesting. The dream of the Nanhua County Lord has been shattered, and Yu Chaoyang will have one more enemy in the future.

Next, each family arranged for their younger generation to perform on stage. The funniest thing was that the family of a minister arranged for their five-year-old grandson to perform rolling on stage, just like entertaining parents with colorful clothes, which made the whole room laugh.

Yu Yuanzheng couldn't help but laugh loudly.

In the end, the Second Old Lady said coldly, "How can this be so disgraceful?"

Yu Yuanzheng didn't want to argue with an old man, so she pretended not to hear, but she also restrained herself a little.

When it was Yu Chaoyang's turn, she played a standard song: Spring Day.

It won some applause, but it was just average and nothing outstanding.

Next is Yu Yuanzheng.

The princess didn't even know what Yu Yuanzheng was going to perform; she went to Eunuch Chen to sign up herself.

In fact, no one knows what kind of performance others are going to perform.

After coming on stage, Yu Yuanzheng first bowed to the emperor and empress.

"Your Majesty, Empress, I don't have anything special to offer, so I'll play a song to cheer you up. It's called Moonlight over the Lotus Pond. Your Majesty, do you have any armor? I didn't know we'd be performing before entering the palace, so I didn't prepare any."

The queen immediately sent someone to get her a pair of artificial nails.

Put it on and sit down.

I haven't played the piano for a long time, so my hands are very rusty.

Yu Yuanzheng first tested the pitch, trying to adjust to the guzheng in front of her. In her previous life, she had used 21-string zithers, but in this era, they all had 13 strings, lacking the double treble and double bass ranges.

Seeing that Yuan Zheng also chose to play the piano, Yu Chaoyang couldn't believe it.

She never learned to play the piano.

This is in the imperial palace. If you play the piano at random and disturb the emperor and empress's ears, you will be punished.

"Mother, my second sister never learned to play the piano when she was at her parents' home. Please ask her to come down." Yu Chaoyang still knew at this time that Yu Yuanzheng and she were from the same mansion, and she couldn't lose face for the palace.

"Oh? Why hasn't she learned it?" The princess's smiling face suddenly turned a little colder.

"Mother, my second sister only likes embroidery and doesn't like learning the piano, so she didn't learn it." Yu Chaoyang was almost at a loss as to how to respond when asked this question.

Of course Yu Yuanzheng didn’t learn the piano because her family didn’t give her the opportunity.

How could the daughter of a bastard who is not presentable be worthy of learning such elegant things?

It is also suitable for her to learn embroidery, just right for embroidering Yu Chaoyang's dowry.

"Your Highness, please call her down quickly. Don't embarrass our Rong Palace." Upon hearing this, the second old lady skipped over the princess and directly instructed the prince.

The prince just glanced at her and continued to eat slowly, ignoring her completely.

A chopstick of braised meat was stuffed into my mouth and chewed slowly. It was so delicious.

"Your Highness, the reputation of the royal palace has been completely disgraced by this shameful act." The second old lady raised her voice and spoke again, drawing the attention of people at the two tables nearby.

"The reputation of my Rong Palace is not supported by these things. Even if she plays the piano randomly, the emperor will not blame her." The prince was calm and his face turned a little colder.

The queen, who was sitting on the throne, saw that it took Yu Yuanzheng quite a while to test the sound.

I knew Yu Yuanzheng might not be able to play the piano.

"Yuan Zheng, if you can't play it, don't force yourself." The queen comforted him.

"Your Majesty, I'm just not very familiar with this zither. It will be fine soon." Yu Yuanzheng did not give up and continued to test the sound.

The chaotic "zheng zheng" sound could be heard by everyone.

There was already laughter from below.

Yue Yuying and Cao Jinxuan were both worried for her. If she lost face in front of so many court officials and ladies, she would be laughed at for a long time in various gatherings in the future.

"Yuan Zheng, how about I perform for you?" Cao Jinxuan stood up and walked forward.

"It's okay, it will be fine soon." Yu Yuanzheng slowly tested the tone of each string and then memorized the melody they represented.

Seeing that she was so determined, Cao Jinxuan felt it was not appropriate to stand by her any longer and stepped back.

Yu Yuanzheng took a deep breath, raised his hand, and plucked the strings.

“,,,…”

The melodious and cheerful piano music suddenly sounded, no longer the random playing of the piano as before.

"Cut a piece of time and it flows slowly, flowing into the moonlight and rippling slightly..."

Then beautiful singing began.

The whole hall was so quiet that there was no sound of talking. Only the beautiful sound of the piano and the woman's singing could reach everyone's ears.
