Then there is the empress that everyone has been waiting for, Ouyang Jing.
Ouyang Jing is fifty-eight this year. From a worldly perspective, although she is the mother of the world and the mother of a country, such an elderly woman is probably only a high-ranking and luxurious woman.
But Ouyang Jing is not the same, but seeing her with a phoenix bun on her temples, lightly sweeping her eyebrows, and a springy look in her eyes, she shows a somewhat alluring charm.
She was wearing a long red dress, embroidered with rich peonies, and her long and elegant skirt was slowly walked towards her while being supported by two palace maids.
Ouyang Jing's figure has reached this age and she has given birth to four children, but she is still very well maintained, not bloated at all, only graceful.
She greeted everyone with a smile and a kind look. Facing the crowd of people in front of her who were paying homage to her, she naturally stretched out her arms and said, "Sit down."
All the ladies took their seats one by one.
The noble ladies also showed a gentle and virtuous attitude. No matter how delicate and domineering the daughter was, she had to temporarily put away her sharp claws and act well-behaved in front of the queen.
The queen glanced at everyone, smiled slightly, and showed her grace without saying too much, but went directly to today's topic:
"I hold this Hundred Flowers Festival to get to know more of the noble ladies in the court. We in the Huang Kingdom have always advocated frugality and rarely hold such a grand event. I don't want anyone to miss today's opportunity to showcase their talents!
"In order to allow everyone to show their talents, I have discussed with the emperor and decided on the categories of today's competition, which are divided into ten major categories. The first place will be selected for each category to enter the next round of competition and win the best result.
The one who gets the wish is for the flowers to bloom. For the person who gets the flowers to bloom, I will grant her a wish."
The queen's words hinted that all noble ladies should show off their special skills.
Many noble ladies are eager to try. They know that this is a good opportunity. If they perform well, they will be able to climb the dragon gate.
The host is the queen, and there are various concubines watching. These people are secretly choosing the daughter-in-law who suits their eyes. You must know that there are several unmarried princes present.
The fifth prince Long Qimu, the sixth prince Long Qihao, the seventh prince Long Qijin... which one is not the dragon among men?
Among them, they are one of the candidates for the future throne of Huang Kingdom. Yesterday, hundreds of officials proposed the fourth prince in the palace, but the emperor vetoed them. It seems that the fourth prince has no chance.
Who will be the heir to the throne?
Everyone wants to know, but after all, it's hard to guess.
What these women can do now is to seize the current flower festival and strive to be the first to look forward to it.
"The competition is listed as the top ten items..." Eunuch Du beside the queen opened a scroll and said in a high voice unique to eunuchs, "Piano, chess, poetry, calligraphy, painting, tea art, embroidery, etiquette, singing, and dancing.
,and additional ,debates.”
That's all. The noble ladies all practice, but everyone is surprised by this debate, which is a competition event only for men.
This debating subject has been popular in Canghuang Continent for hundreds of years. It is famous for discussing political affairs and major world affairs. Almost all men who study Confucianism must be involved in this debating subject.
Debating requires a very high level of talent and learning, and one must have an eloquent mouth and an impeccable tongue.
