The Prince's Beloved Little Wife

At this moment, the stage was packed with people. All the performers stood ramrod straight, their faces revealing barely concealed tension. Their eyes were fixed on the judges' panel below, anxiously awaiting the impending judgment. The judges, meanwhile, sat in the audience, whispering among themselves, constantly flipping through their notebooks, seemingly carefully comparing and weighing the performances of each group of performers.

After a heated discussion and careful consideration, the judges finally reached a consensus and selected the final results. Remarkably, a whopping eight groups of performers were awarded the title of "most outstanding"! These lucky individuals undoubtedly became the focus of the entire event, their brilliant performances receiving high praise. Meanwhile, twenty performers received a mid-level evaluation; although slightly less impressive, they still demonstrated considerable talent. The majority of the remaining performers were categorized as average.

Next, each judge began to provide feedback on each performance based on their own honest opinions. Strengths and weaknesses were clearly pointed out and analyzed. The performers listening to the comments listened intently, nodding frequently to show their agreement and acceptance of the judges' opinions. The entire scene was serious and filled with a professional atmosphere, as if a profound discussion about the pursuit of art was unfolding…

The judges stood solemnly in the center of the stage, announcing the names of the lucky winners of the Excellence and Average awards one by one. With each name revealed, a burst of enthusiastic cheers erupted from the audience, seemingly about to lift the entire venue. The winners beamed with irrepressible joy and pride, embracing each other to celebrate this hard-won honor. Those who didn't win any awards, however, were not discouraged or disheartened. The judges thoughtfully announced some encouraging news: even those who didn't win the Excellence or Average awards would receive a special consolation prize. This reward was not only an affirmation and encouragement of their courage to perform on stage, but also a hope that they would continue to hone their skills and strive to present an even more perfect version of themselves on the next stage. Everyone humbly accepted this instruction, their hearts filled with anticipation and hope for the future.

Immediately afterward, at the judges' command, the servants, who had been waiting patiently, sprang into action, carefully carrying the various prizes onto the stage. Then, the judges personally presented the awards to the winners of the excellence awards, their faces beaming with genuine smiles, as if offering their sincerest blessings to these hard-working individuals. Meanwhile, the photographers were also busy, raising their cameras to capture this precious moment from different angles, freezing a series of unforgettable and wonderful images.

The awarding of the middle prizes was even more eye-catching, with two heavyweight figures, Chen Mengyao and Ouyang Han, personally presenting the awards to the winners. With smiles on their faces and elegant manners, they solemnly handed the prizes to the winners, shaking hands warmly to express their affirmation and appreciation. The remaining prizes were awarded one by one by other ministers, filling the entire stage with a festive and joyful atmosphere.

After all the prizes had been awarded, the photographers raised their cameras again to take a group photo of everyone on stage. Everyone posed, their faces beaming with happiness, as if celebrating this unforgettable moment together. Afterwards, all the prize recipients, carefully guided by the staff, walked off the stage in an orderly fashion, while the award presenters remained on stage, ready for the next exciting moment.

Chen Mengyao, on a sudden inspiration, had the photography team take some group photos of the award presenters on stage. She personally directed everyone's positioning and poses, and took many photos of Ouyang Han and herself. Finally, she had a brilliant idea: to invite everyone in the audience—including the actors, the audience members, all the servants, and the ball staff—onto the stage for a group photo. She quickly took out a DSLR camera and a tripod, skillfully adjusted the camera settings, and had everyone pose. With the clicks of the shutter, a series of photos filled with laughter and joy were captured.

After the group photo, Chen Mengyao, Ouyang Han, and others left the stage, allowing those who wanted to take more photos to continue. Meanwhile, the video camera was switched off, bringing the awards ceremony to a successful close. But these unforgettable memories and joyful atmosphere will forever remain in everyone's hearts, becoming one of the most precious treasures of their lives.

Chen Mengyao smiled and gestured for everyone to continue enjoying their time on stage. She then walked with Ouyang Han into the quiet courtyard. As soon as she entered her own space, she quickly and carefully removed the memory card from the video recorder and gently inserted it into the computer. On the screen, the scenes of laughter and joy appeared one by one. With heartfelt warmth, she sent this precious video to everyone via her phone, hoping they could still relive this joy after returning home. To ensure everything was safe, she also uploaded the video to the cloud and made multiple backups, as if to etch this memory forever into her heart.

Afterwards, Chen Mengyao returned to the garden, which was still filled with laughter and joy. She mingled with the crowd, taking photos with her sisters and capturing countless beautiful moments. The princesses, queens, and crown princesses warmly invited her to join in the pictures, their smiles radiant in the sunlight. Finally, she suggested that the photographer take a group photo of the royal family, everyone beaming with happiness and contentment. It wasn't until nightfall that everyone reluctantly ended this joyous gathering.

Chen Mengyao knew that the success of the gala wouldn't have been possible without the hard work of the behind-the-scenes staff, so she specially gathered them all in her courtyard. Under the bright lights, she looked at them affectionately and praised their outstanding performance. Then, she took out some gifts she had prepared beforehand—silver notes, pearl jewelry, high-end skincare products, and a digital camera—the best reward for their hard work. In addition, she also presented them with some precious medicinal supplements and several bottles of magical spring water, telling them that these gifts would not only nourish their bodies but also bring them boundless vitality. Her words were filled with sincerity and gratitude, deeply moving everyone present.

To help them cherish this memory even more, Chen Mengyao created a WeChat group and invited everyone in. She picked up one of the digital cameras and took several group photos of all the hard-working people. Then, she invited Ouyang Han to join them, and they took a precious group photo together. At that moment, everyone's face was filled with happy smiles, as if all their efforts had been rewarded.

After the party, Chen Mengyao gratefully told them that she would ask them for help again next time she organized a party, and sincerely hoped that they would be as dedicated as they were that day. They nodded repeatedly, their faces beaming with confidence and anticipation, and readily agreed to help again next time. To thank them for their hard work, Chen Mengyao specially prepared a lot of delicious food for them to take home, thinking that they must be hungry after a long night. Seeing the food, a hint of surprise flashed in their eyes, and they quickly thanked Chen Mengyao, then happily went home to rest, carrying these thoughtful gifts and food.

Chen Mengyao walked side by side with Ouyang Han back to their room, her heart filled with joy and satisfaction. She felt everything today had been perfect, and everyone's performance had exceeded her expectations. Suddenly, she had a brilliant idea: to hold a similar party in the palace during the New Year so that her father and the others in the palace could also enjoy such joy. Ouyang Han, finding the suggestion both novel and creative, nodded in agreement.

Back in their room, they re-entered the virtual space. Chen Mengyao took out the memory card from her digital camera and carefully imported all the photos into the computer. She meticulously selected each photo, as if each one held precious memories of the evening. Afterward, she sent the chosen photos to each person's WeChat account, hoping they could also feel the joy and emotion. She also said that she would compile these photos into an album and give it to them as a lasting memento when she had time.

The others, too, remained deeply moved after returning home. They all felt the evening's performance was incredibly spectacular and breathtaking, a feast unlike anything they had ever witnessed. They were even more thrilled when they received the videos and photos from Chen Mengyao. They watched each video intently, savoring every memorable moment, until they were exhausted and reluctantly put down their phones to wash up and rest. That night, they were all immersed in wonderful memories, looking forward to their next gathering.
