"Don't mess around!" King Hao scolded in a pretentious manner.
"Father, my son is not fooling around. The woman who can get this piano must be Zifeng's close friend. It is Zifeng's good fortune to marry her close friend."
Jun Zifeng is known as the most talented man, and there are many women who like him. As soon as these words came out, several ladies already blushed.
Thinking that in the future, I would be able to play the harp and harp harmoniously with the unparalleled prince, my heart was beating fast, and I was secretly determined to win the harp skill competition.
"Okay, hahaha, as long as the woman agrees, I will grant you a marriage today." The emperor agreed.
Eunuch Fu continued to introduce: "There is one last lucky draw."
When the tray was brought up, some people had already gasped. Young people like Chu Yunxi had never seen it before, but who among the older people had never seen the magnificent Queen Yin and the phoenix jade bracelet in front of her?
Her bright wrists were exceptionally transparent and shiny.
Eunuch Fu respectfully clasped his fists and bowed in the air:
"This is the Phoenix Jade Bracelet of the late Queen. If any daughter can win three competitions at the same time, she can get this bracelet."
Why would the emperor let the late empress's personal ornaments fall by the wayside? If any daughter can get this bracelet, she will definitely be betrothed to the prince.
This is no ordinary talent competition, it is related to the happiness of the daughter for the rest of her life, as well as the rise and fall of the family.
But this condition is really harsh. It requires three leaders. The bracelet can be seen but not touched. The emperor wants to see the true ability of these ladies and choose his daughter-in-law.
Everyone in the family whispered and secretly warned their daughters to strive for success and compete with all their strength.
Jun Lingyun frowned slightly. Only Xi'er was qualified to wear the concubine's bracelet, but Xi'er had never shown her talents in public. Her father was dissatisfied with her recent behavior and wanted to test whether she was qualified to be the crown prince.
Are you qualified to be a concubine?
If there really is a girl from another family who can win the three competitions, will my father choose another princess for him?
Chu Yunxi turned her head and saw Jun Lingyun looking at her with a complicated expression. With just one glance, she understood that he wanted her to win the phoenix jade bracelet.
Alas, in that case, she would try her best.
At this moment, Jun Hongyan and Chu Xueer entered the hall one after another, and knelt down. Everyone looked at them, why did they come in together?
When the emperor saw the person who caused trouble for him, his face suddenly darkened.
"Father, my son and I are late."
Jun Hongyan respectfully apologizes.
"Since I know it's too late, why not hurry up and take a seat."
The emperor was not angry.
Jun Hongyan felt bored and sat down with a disgraceful look. Chu Xueer also came to the Chu family's seat.
With her status as a concubine, there was no way she could be invited to the palace banquet, but because it was recorded in Mrs. Chu's name, she could attend as a legitimate daughter.
She looked at Chu Yunxi aggrievedly, feeling unhappy in her heart. She didn't want what she was giving, but she had to have it.
Chu Yunxi saw that the redness and swelling on her face had subsided a lot and was covered up with makeup. She couldn't see anything strange anymore. She couldn't help but sneer. She was like this. She was still pregnant and wanted to attend the palace banquet. She was afraid that she would be pregnant.
Her chance to shine, but this time, may disappoint her.
"Xue'er, why did you come here?"
General Chu asked, he had been in the palace and didn't know that they had turned against each other.
"It's nothing, it's just that I had a little quarrel with my sister. My sister taught Xue'er a lesson, and Xue'er went to deal with it, so she was late."
Chu Xueer covered her face pitifully. In this way, no one knew she had been slapped.
A little quarrel? He really knows how to avoid the important and take the easy.
General Chu frowned and looked at Chu Yunxi. They sisters have always been harmonious. What happened?
"Father, we'll talk about it when we get home." Chu Yunxi just said lightly.
"The first competition is dance. I don't know which lady will come first." Eunuch Fu asked.
"Your Majesty, Miss Chu is the future princess, why not let her come first. I just wonder, can Miss Chu know how to dance?"
Xiao Feifei has long been displeased when she looks at the beautiful Chu Yunxi. In her impression, Chu Yunxi is mediocre in appearance and talent, and is not worthy of the magnificent Crown Prince. She should never be this delicate and beautiful.
Once you see it, you can't take your eyes away.
That's right, she likes the prince. If you look at nothing else, the prince's appearance alone is unparalleled in the entire Yunxiao Kingdom.
Now, seeing Chu Yunxi who is so beautiful, she still despises her for showing off, so she wants to make her look embarrassed.
How could Chu Yunxi not know what Xiao Feifei was thinking? In her previous life, whenever she wanted to attend a banquet, Chu Xueer would tell her that the more outstanding she was, the less likely she would be able to break away from her status as a princess.
In order to escape from the bloodthirsty Yama, she deliberately acted ugly every time. She only painted some common flowers and plants in her talent show. Occasionally she played the piano and played the most bland tunes. She never showed her other talents in public, but she tried to be moderate.
, as long as it’s not embarrassing.
However, before she spoke, Chu Xueer beside her stood up first:
"Sister Feifei, my sister has a sprained foot. Xue'er is willing to perform on behalf of her sister and offer advice to all the ladies."
Oh, she would just go with the flow. Chu Yunxi wanted to see what tricks she could perform.
"Oh? It's really time for you to have sprained feet. Miss Chu is the future princess. I'm afraid she can't dance, right?"
Xiao Feifei raised her eyebrows provocatively.
"My sister just didn't pay attention when she was walking. Sister Feifei, please don't force yourself on others."
Chu Xueer still looked like she was defending her. Those who didn't know it thought she understood the righteousness well.
The position of Crown Princess will be a mother's honor to the world in the future, and only the best woman can hold it. If you can't even dance, don't dare to fight, and can sprain your feet when walking, then she is not qualified to be a Crown Princess.
.
The two of them sang together, one with a red face and the other with a pale face. Before she could speak, she was already being demoted to the dust.
Seeing the disdainful looks in everyone's eyes, Chu Yunxi stood up:
"Sister, don't bother me. My feet are already healed. Since Miss Xiao kindly invites me, I will show my shame."
A slight smile, as bright as spring flowers, as bright as autumn moon, captivated everyone's eyes, there is such a beauty in the world.
"It's just that I really haven't prepared anything, so I'm afraid I might offend all of you. Your Majesty, please allow me to make some preparations."
Everyone was scornful again. The future princess came to attend the Spring Banquet and didn't prepare any talent. She must be stupid.
If any girl hadn't started preparing months in advance, she probably wouldn't be able to show off any good talents. Those who had some expectations for her because of her appearance were also a little disappointed.
Then I heard Chu Yunxi say again:
"Since my sister wants to throw bricks, let's go ahead and throw them. I'll go change my clothes and get ready."
"Pfft~cough cough cough"
Prince Hao had just taken a sip of tea into his mouth when he was caught off guard and quickly raised his sleeves to cover it up.
In fact, he was surrounded by people who strictly abide by etiquette and strict rules, and he had never seen anyone use only half of the "thumbs-up". It was really interesting to hurt people without using curse words.
"Chu Xue'er, you're kind enough to stand up for her, but I don't think she appreciates it."
Jun Lingyun squinted and looked at Xiao Feifei, good, he remembered her.
Bai Xiao behind him shivered. It was so cold. Who would be unlucky?
