Yuan Hao immediately lost his good mood after drinking the glass of wine, but he heard the Imperial Master on the side say: "Congratulations to Your Majesty, this new top scholar is not moved by fame and fortune, and is loyal to his engagement. It is rare. I believe he will definitely be His Majesty's right-hand man in the future."
.”
Yuan Hao listened to Xuan Du's words and thought about it. It made sense. If Xiao Chengyi broke the engagement and instead married a noble girl or princess, then his character can be imagined.
How loyal and patriotic can a minister who is tempted by fame and fortune be?
Thinking like this, Yuan Hao felt more relieved. Xiao Chengyi would not marry any noble girl in the capital, so there was no threat to him.
If you want to take control of the General's Mansion, you don't have to start with Xiao Chengyi. After all, he is just an adopted son who has not entered the Mu family's genealogy.
If this marriage fails, wouldn't Mu Yun'an still be there? She is the legitimate daughter of the General's Mansion and Mu Rufeng's heartthrob.
"The Imperial Master is absolutely right."
Yuan Hao was in a much better mood and no longer worried about Xiao Chengyi's marriage, but he couldn't help but feel a little regretful when he thought about his Princess Jiahe.
So I thought about choosing another suitable one among the new scholars.
At the Qionglin Banquet, Xiao Chengyi easily resolved Yuan Hao's desire to marry him, and at the Hundred Flowers Banquet, everyone finally waited for Mu Yun'an's performance.
I saw the palace attendants carrying a tall and large shelf with a huge piece of rice paper placed on it.
Everyone couldn't help but become suspicious, wondering what Mu Yun'an was going to perform? Even Yuan Jiahe was confused. Yan Yan had clearly said that she wanted to dance, but looking at what she had prepared, it was clear that she wanted to paint.
And the paper is so big, I don’t know what to draw on it?
Just as she was thinking about it, she saw Mu Yun'an on stage. She changed into a dance outfit and saluted everyone, and then started dancing to the drum beats.
The people watching in the audience immediately started talking. They must know that this dance has never been included in the talent category of the Hundred Flowers Banquet, although no one has set a rule that it cannot be danced.
It's just that they think this kind of thing can't be put on the table.
"I really didn't expect that the county leader would perform like this? Could it be that she is not good at playing music, chess, calligraphy and painting, so she came here to perform dances opportunistically?"
A noble lady covered her mouth and began to laugh at Mu Yun'an.
Mu Yunhuan couldn't stand listening and scolded: "What does it mean to be opportunistic? If you have the ability, go and dance one and see if anyone can match her dancing skills?"
In her opinion, Mu Yun'an's dancing posture is unparalleled, but in the eyes of others, it becomes something unsightly.
The noble girl's name is Zhou Jingyi, and she is Mrs. Yan's niece. Since the fall of the Han family, the Zhou family has also been on the rise due to the Yongning Houfu.
She glanced at Mu Yunhuan and clicked her tongue: "Who do I think you are? It turns out to be Miss Mu Er. Why are you trying to teach me a lesson as a concubine before you marry Prince Jing?"
Mu Yunhuan's expression changed, and she blushed a little. Yuan Jiahe who was standing by him sneered when he saw this: "Even if she hasn't married my brother yet, she is still the candidate for concubine appointed by my father. How can I teach you a lesson based on her status?"
Don’t you?”
Zhou Jingyi was stunned for a moment, looked at Yuan Jiahe and called out a little aggrievedly: "Princess cousin, how can you help her speak?"
Yuan Jiahe snorted lightly: "Who is your cousin? Don't mistake your relatives for anything. Why does Miss Zhou think that her aunt is the wife of Yongning Houfu? Is this position of Princess Jing already in your pocket?"
I tell you, don’t even think about it, my imperial brother will not marry you."
Mrs. Yan had tried openly and secretly, intending to send her niece to the position of honoring the princess, but her mother-in-law never let go.
The marriage had not even been discussed yet, but Miss Zhou's family started to act arrogant, so Yuan Jiahe could only pour cold water on her to let her see his identity clearly.
