"Hey, it's not yet certain who rubs off whose spirit! Don't let your tongue slip if you talk too much!" Princess Xiyue didn't hesitate to give in and ran up immediately.
The fourth prince, who knew something but didn't understand, called the eunuch beside him.
"What's going on?" he asked.
At this time, the princes, princesses and princes who were sitting not far from him all listened attentively.
"Replying to the fourth prince, it was Princess Chenyang and Princess Xiyue who just had another conflict!"
The fourth prince knew the two sisters. They couldn't eat for a day without quarreling. "But what does their quarrel have to do with He Lian'er and Miss Ye?" he asked again.
"Isn't that right! Princess Chenyang disparaged Miss Ye a few words, and Princess Xiyue said... The younger one didn't know what happened. Anyway, I heard from the palace maid who was present that the quarrel between the two princesses ended up being a celebration.
There is a competition between the young lady and Miss Ye, that is, the two princesses each sent one person to compete... It seems to be because who of the two young ladies is more worthy of His Royal Highness the War King!" The little eunuch told what he knew.
All ten were spoken out.
The fourth prince slapped the table and stood up, attracting a lot of attention. He sat down a little awkwardly, and then said in a low voice, "Miss Ye and Uncle Zhan have had nothing to do with each other for a long time! He Lian'er can marry Uncle Zhan if she wants."
Go and fight for it yourself! Why drag in irrelevant people?"
The third prince next to him patted him on the shoulder, "Fourth brother, why are you so excited? Could it be that you...are interested in Miss Ye?"
The fourth prince was embarrassed for a moment, but then he immediately raised his head, "Third brother, please stop talking nonsense, lest you ruin this girl's reputation! I, the prince, have known Miss Ye since they were young. Why don't you feel sorry for her?"
The prince looked thoughtfully at Ye Qianying at the women's banquet, and when he saw that the latter was also looking at him, he immediately turned away.
Now it seems that Ye Qingcheng, the direct daughter of the Prime Minister's Palace, is much more beautiful than Ye Qianying, the step daughter.
And as soon as she came back, she attracted everyone's attention. Even the royal grandmother had a gentle attitude towards her. She was an amazing person.
Looking at Ye Qianying, who is his future crown princess, she is obviously a little transparent. Not to mention that her father doesn't appreciate her much, and her grandmother doesn't pay much attention to her either.
In other words, he, the prince, and his mother regarded her as a treasure.
Now that the Prime Minister's legitimate daughter is back, if Uncle Zhan Wang... Now it seems that the fourth brother treats her differently, if the fourth brother or Uncle Zhan marries her, will the Prime Minister's help still be on his side?
It’s hard to say!
The prince was thinking about the twists and turns here, but Ye Qianying was secretly happy that His Highness saw her at a glance among so many people.
The Queen Mother said, "You can go down and discuss things slowly. When the banquet here is over, Aijia will ask you to come up and compete!"
Ye Qingcheng and He Lianer stepped forward to bow and leave, then each took a princess and left the table.
The Queen Mother spoke, but the Emperor and Queen had nothing to do with it, so they just let them make trouble. Seeing that the Queen Mother was very interested, today was her birthday, so she just wanted to be happy.
So the emperor began to host the birthday banquet again. The princes, princes and princesses all gave birthday gifts, and then it was replaced by envoys from various countries to present gifts.
They are nothing more than some specialties and tribute items from their own country, nothing too rare.
Then there are the birthday gifts for civil and military officials and the female relatives, which are all similar.
Jade ornaments, antique calligraphy and paintings, jewelry and other common objects.
The Queen Mother is still carefully choosing her daughter-in-law.
I thought it was good to watch one, and it was good to watch two. Only her son, who was devoted to the military, sang the opposite tune to her.
If you don’t like one of them, you’ll be sent back and you’ll be pissed off.
But something was different today. I was able to stay at this boring banquet for so long without saying a word about leaving.
She had to keep up her efforts. Although she felt that her son liked Ye Qingcheng, only one woman was not enough. What she wanted was a group of concubines to bear children for him, otherwise she would never catch up with the emperor.
There were already seven emperors, and there were two more pregnant concubines, so she chose according to this number.
Not many, just nine. When the time comes, one of them will give her a grandson, or a granddaughter, and she will be complete.
If Jun Mochen knew what she was thinking, he would probably flee on the spot and never want to come back for the rest of his life.
He himself doesn't like contact with women. He hates physical contact and psychological contact, except...that little girl.
The camera turned to Ye Qingcheng's side. The four of them chose to sit down in a pavilion not far from Wuyang Palace. The palace maid immediately served snacks and tea.
Ye Qingcheng had almost eaten just now, but when he saw the exquisite snacks, he couldn't hold back, so he picked one up and started eating.
"Miss Ye, I only found out about it when I heard Eunuch De mention it on the road. The two of us are going to compete, so we might as well talk about what we are competing for!" He Lian'er looked confident, no matter what she said.
She spoke in a nonchalant tone.
The angry Princess Xiyue almost got irritable again.
Ye Qingcheng hurriedly gave Princess Xiyue a hand, then slowly put down the pastries, picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea, and then spoke slowly.
"I can do either! It's up to Miss He to choose. Anyway, it's the same no matter what you choose! I just know a thing or two about it!"
The meaning is obvious, she is not very proficient in anything, let someone like her who is proficient in everything make the choice!
This time it was Princess Chenyang who was irritable. She said directly, "Ye Qingcheng, what do you mean? You only know a little about everything, and you still talk nonsense. Aren't you wasting people's time? You think everyone is like you."
Huh? Doing nothing all day long.”
"Princess Chenyang's words are wrong. I didn't say anything about the competition. I never said how powerful I am!" Ye Qingcheng also said that she looked lazy.
"Okay! Stop arguing! Let's do as the Imperial Grandmother suggested, let's... win two out of three games! Let's play piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, horseback riding and archery, choose two poems and songs, and finally, cook a delicious dish for the Imperial Grandmother.
Well, today is the birthday of the Imperial Grandmother! Let her be happy! Just do as this princess said! No objection will be accepted!" Princess Xiyue said.
He Lian'er's expression changed, because she didn't know how to cook. How could she cook delicious food for her aunt if she didn't touch Yang Chun Shui with her fingers?
But then she thought about music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry and songs, haha, she believed that it was absolutely impossible for a country bumpkin who had grown up freely in the countryside for three years to be able to compare with her.
So she nodded, "Just do what Princess Xiyue said! I can do anything!"
Ye Qingcheng also nodded, okay, that's it, has Miss He decided what to choose?"
Princess Chenyang clapped her hands, "You two each choose the same thing! Then the other one chooses what the other person chooses!"
Doesn’t that mean that two people have to choose the same one to perform?
"Then let me choose the piano!" He Lian'er said immediately.
She believed that Ye Qingcheng would not be able to play the piano as well as hers.
Ye Qingcheng curled her lips, she had already said it, she knew a thing or two about it, but others just didn't believe it. "Then I choose..." She thought for a long time, feeling like she couldn't make a choice. She whetted her appetite before she said, "Let's paint! I will choose painting."
