Princess Consort Is No Pushover

Emperor Hongyuan said again: "Not only Princess Li plays the piano well, but Concubine Xue also dances the Feixian dance well. The two complement each other perfectly and complement each other, which is pleasing to the eye. Come and enjoy."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Yun Ruoyue quickly knelt down with Concubine Xue to thank her.

After thanking them, some eunuchs brought the rewards they had prepared and rewarded them.

The reward is two top-quality jade ruyis, one for each person, which is fair.

When Yun Ruoyue and Concubine Xue took Yu Ruyi, they glanced at each other inadvertently, with a look of sympathy in their eyes, and they returned to their seats after receiving Yu Ruyi.

Seeing that everyone was praising Yun Ruoyue and Concubine Xue, the queen felt very jealous. She felt that the two performed so well that it was a slap in the face to her.

Just now they thought that Concubine Xue could not dance the Feixian Dance, and they wanted to make things difficult for her and make her look ugly, but they did not expect that she would surprise everyone and even be rewarded by the emperor, which made her extremely angry.

She was very upset, but she still suppressed the discomfort, stood up, and smiled gently at Emperor Hongyuan: "Your Majesty, at the palace banquet today, so many ladies and noble daughters came, didn't you prepare a lottery? Let the ladies show their talents, and if you can get the first place, you will be rewarded with a lottery. In previous years, your lottery was very good. What kind of lottery have you prepared for everyone this year?"

It is also the empress's responsibility to let the guests and hosts enjoy themselves together. She also has a few noble daughters of the Su family. It is also helpful for the Su family to let these noble daughters come out to perform, show some limelight, and find some good marriages.

Emperor Hongyuan thought for a while, then took off a dragon-shaped jade pendant with a smooth texture from his waist, and said: "This year there are distinguished guests, as long as they are women, regardless of whether they are married or not, they can participate. The content of the performance is free. Chess, calligraphy, poetry, poetry, singing and dancing are all fine. Later, I will order someone to distribute a token to each of you. After the girls have finished their performances, everyone will vote for them. The winner is the one with the most tokens. This is the first For the first one, I will reward the dragon-shaped jade pendant that has followed me for ten years. For the second place, I will give you eight hundred taels of gold, and for the third place, I will give you five hundred taels of gold."

When the noble ladies below heard it, they all held their musical instruments and were eager to try.

When they came to the palace banquet, they liked this part the most.

In this link, you can show off your talents. If they are favored by the emperor, the prince, or the sons of honorable ministers, they will be able to find a good marriage.

So every year at the Lantern Festival banquet, the noble ladies dress themselves up beautifully, striving to win the prize.

This year, the emperor's prize is actually his jade pendant, which is the most important thing. Although such a jade pendant has no special function, if anyone owns the emperor's jade pendant, it must be a matter of face.

This can not only be passed on to the family, but at critical moments, it may even save one's life.

"Okay then, this year's lottery is very precious. Ladies and gentlemen, you can start performing on stage," the queen said.

This is just a casual competition, so there is no distinction between who comes first. As soon as the queen finished speaking, a noble lady stood up holding the piano, and came to the stage generously to play the piano for everyone.

Under the stage, the guests and foreign envoys mingled with each other, toasted and drank together, which was peaceful.

Because the noble lady's piano was very mediocre, she only played half of it, and the bold prince said with the strength of alcohol, "What is this thing that is playing? It's like a melodious sound, and it doesn't sound good at all. Step back quickly. Stop wasting everyone's time."
