The story of a bullied daughter's rise to power

When she came to take the women's exam this time, many people came to watch with a mocking attitude, wanting to see her get out of the capital in disgrace.

Of course, Situ Yaorao knew about this kind of thing. However... her best solution was to pass the female exam. Only by passing it could she make those who hated her but dared not do anything to her dare not take action.

Thinking of this, Situ Yaorao took a deep breath and began to play the piano in a somewhat desperate manner. This piece of music was the one Nangong Ling played when he first taught her to play the piano.

However, she just couldn't get the point. In Nangong Ling's words, other people played the piano to cultivate their sentiments, but she played the piano as if she was playing for a fight.

The voice was rough.

As the zither music began, the Emperor, Empress, and Queen Mother all frowned. Clearly, they couldn't bear the unpleasant sound. However, Tan Tai Yun Yi, who presided over the assessment, was stunned.

I didn't expect Situ Yaorao to play such unpleasant music.

He had assumed that even if Situ Yaorao's playing wasn't good, it should still be considered average. The fact that he recognized such an ordinary piece and considered it beautiful meant that the Crown Prince of Mingyue Kingdom truly loved Situ Yaorao. He wasn't afraid to sacrifice fairness. But this kind of music?

Haha, no matter how much you like it, you probably won’t agree with it, right?

It was like a demonic sound. How could such a woman exist in the world? How on earth did she grow up to be this size? Tantai Yunyi was so frightened by Situ's enchanting piano music that he began to question his own life.

When the piano music ended, everyone present felt as if they were in a dream.

Even the Queen Mother, who had a favorable impression of Situ Yaorao, remained silent. Tantai Yunyi came to his senses, coughed awkwardly, and said, "I wonder if anyone agrees."

"If all the women in the world could play the zither with such skill, I, Lan Lin, would be in chaos." The emperor said solemnly. Then he shook his head decisively. The queen also shook her head, but said nothing.

"It's truly too unique. I can't possibly like such a piece of music." The Queen Mother replied helplessly. However, Situ Yaorao wasn't disappointed. This was all within her expectations.

"Then, what about His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" Tan Tai Yun Yi looked at the Crown Prince of Ming Yue Kingdom.

Everyone also looked in his direction.

The man raised his eyebrows slightly, his beautiful red eyes fell on Situ Yaorao, revealing a smile that made all the flowers pale in comparison, and said in a casual and hoarse voice: "I like it very much."

This one sentence was like a bolt from the blue, frightening everyone out of their wits.

Some people even thought they were hallucinating. Not only them, but even Tan Tai Yun Yi was stunned. Although he knew that the prince had some interest in Situ Yaorao, he had never expected him to speak nonsense to such an extent with his eyes open.

"Your Highness, do you like this kind of piano music?" Mu Wanwan, who had never spoken in the crowd, couldn't help but stand up and ask. The man heard this, glanced at Mu Wanwan, and nodded: "Yes, I like it."

After saying this, Mu Wanwan's body shook for a while, but she still sat down.

Situ Yaorao glanced at the man and said in a low voice, "Thank you, Your Highness, for your appreciation."

Tantai Yunyi calmed down and looked at Tantai Wuyue again, "What about you?"

Upon hearing this, Tantai Wuyue also smiled, glanced at Situ Yaorao, and said, "What a coincidence! My taste is somewhat similar to that of the Crown Prince of Mingyue Kingdom. I find this zither music quite interesting." Tantai Wuyue's words made everyone think they were hallucinating. If it were just the Crown Prince of Mingyue Kingdom, it would be fine. After all, perhaps he just had a special interest.

But, Tan Tai Wu Yue?

He was an excellent qin player and had very high standards for qin music. He even crippled the hands of his qin player because he played the wrong tune.

Such a person actually said that Situ Yaorao plays the piano well?

This is a big joke.

Now, even the emperor couldn't help but glance at Situ Yaorao, as if thinking about something.

"Ah! The two princes truly have unique tastes. But I disagree with what you're saying." Tantai Yunyi said firmly. Soon, the commotion was finally suppressed. The other women continued to play.

Tantai Wuyue would occasionally approve of someone's music, even offering a few compliments, appearing genuinely serious about it. The Crown Prince of Mingyue, on the other hand, kept his eyes tightly closed, not even glancing at them.

It was as if he was here just to get Situ Yaorao to look at him more. This attitude was really unbelievable.

Soon, the test was over. Situ Yaorao passed it in a very strange way. However, this way of passing made her feel guilty.

After the conversation, Mu Wanwan walked over to Situ Yaorao and asked, "Do you know him?"

"Him?" Situ Yaorao looked confused.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Mingyue Kingdom."

"I don't know him." Situ Yaorao answered decisively.

"How could he not know her? If he didn't know her, how could he agree to a song like that?" Mu Wanwan was a little crazy.

"How would I know? Besides, if you want to know if I know him, you can go ask him. As for why he approves of my music... maybe it's because he has special taste." Situ Yaorao's answer was a bit casual. Mu Wanwan's eyes reddened when she heard it: "You, you are going too far."

Did I bully you? Situ Yaorao stared at the woman blankly, wanting to know when she had bullied the master.

"I came here today for him. Situ Yaorao, I really like your previous poems, and even more so, you as a person, so... don't fight with me for them, otherwise, I don't know what I would do."

The woman's tone was icy. Hearing this, Situ Yaorao gave her a lazy look. "Those are all your business. I'm not familiar with you. As for me and him? That has nothing to do with you. If you like him, go for it. What's the point of coming to me? Or do you think that after you tell me, he'll look at you more?"

Situ Yaorao's tone was somewhat sarcastic.

Situ Yaorao was a simple person. If someone treated her well, she would treat them well in return. If someone treated her badly, she would repay them a hundredfold. Situ Yaorao had originally had a favorable impression of this woman, but... her attitude just now had made her lose that little bit of favorable impression.

Situ Yaorao was fiddling with her fingers, her attitude somewhat nonchalant.

"Congratulations, sister, you passed twice in a row. If you pass three times, you will be able to pass the female exam." Hong Lei came over at some point, looked at Situ Yaorao, and spoke in a well-behaved tone.

Upon hearing this, Situ Yaorao glanced at Hong Lei and sneered, "Sister, you're right, but I don't know if I can continue to get away with this."

"Sister, do you also think you are lucky?" Situ Honglei sneered.

"Does it have anything to do with you?" Situ Yaorao asked back.

"I thought your ability to seduce people was already incredible, but I didn't expect you to be able to seduce the Crown Prince of a neighboring country. If Daddy knew about this, he would definitely skin you alive."

Hong Lei's tone was sinister, with a hint of unwillingness in it.

Since she was a child, she had been competing with Situ Yaorao.

When she was young, the old lady was still alive, and Situ Yaorao was very much loved. She was taken with her every time she went out, and every time a guest came, they would only praise her.

Even if she can't do anything, she will still say that this child is cute. No matter how well she does, she will only say, "This is your second daughter? Teach her well in the future."

He would never say a good word about her. And the reason for all this was because of Situ Yaorao. If it weren't for her, how could this situation have happened?

Later, the old lady died. The person who managed the household was Madam Situ. Situ Yaorao was even more arrogant. Over the years, she had used her and harmed her, and it was not until she finally became the focus of everyone's attention.

After much difficulty, they finally managed to drive this annoying woman away. But... she seemed to have completely changed her ways. First, she impressed the Crown Prince, and now, the Crown Prince of a neighboring country was treating her the same way.

Why? Why did all the good things become hers?
