Don’t Mess with the Dark Princess

  Chapter 233 Talent Show

   Having made up her mind, the Queen opened her mouth slowly with a dignified smile.

   "The ancient poems said it well: the peach blossoms reflect the redness of the human face. It is rare that the peach blossoms bloom so well this year. All the ladies here are young and beautiful, with outstanding talents. I like it when I see it."

  She paused, then turned to look at the emperor.

   "It's just that drinking alone is bound to be boring. I heard that all the ladies present here are all outstanding talents. Why don't you take this opportunity to demonstrate one or two, and also add to the fun of the peach blossom feast. Your Majesty, Queen Mother, what do you think?"

  When the emperor heard this, he immediately said with great interest: "This idea is good, let's do it according to the queen's idea!"

  The queen mother also nodded.

   This is the purpose of the Peach Blossom Banquet, to gather the daughters of gold, and then watch their appearance and raise them, so that they can show their talents and talents.

  All the daughters in the audience also reacted immediately, and their spirits were shocked.

  They have been waiting for this opportunity for a long time, and want to show their faces in front of the emperor and his highnesses!

  The queen said again: "The banquet has just started, and we still focus on talent shows. Whether you have special skills in singing, dancing, calligraphy, painting, or poetry, you can come up to perform. Those who perform well will be rewarded by the palace, the emperor, and the queen mother!"

   Obviously, no one dared to raise objections.

  The queen looked around the audience, her eyes had better stay on Huang Yueli.

   "Since everyone has no objections, let's proceed according to the seating order! First of all, the first one is Miss Bai San, who is sitting at the top. What talent do you plan to perform?"

  Everyone's eyes fell on Huang Yueli in unison, and they all gloated a little.

  Everyone knows that the third lady of the Marquis of Wuwei is a real idiot and a waste of firewood. Not to mention that she can't practice, even the piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, and Fu that ordinary ladies should learn.

  Marquis Wuwei deliberately wanted to raise her up, so he never hired her a decent teacher since she was a child.

  But to the outside world, it was said that this niece was stubborn and short-tempered, and made all the famous teachers who had been hired with great difficulty go away in anger!

  Bai Ruoli's limited experience of participating in such daughter-in-law's gatherings in the past can only be described as miserable.

  While everyone else won applause for their talents, she couldn't even dance the most common dance. I don't know how many people have ridiculed her openly and secretly!

  So, this time, everyone quickly thought that Miss Bai's third... I'm afraid she's going to be ashamed again this time!

   Moreover, it is still embarrassing in front of the emperor and empress dowager!

  Bai Ruoqi couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth slightly.

   Isn't this little **** proud to be in the first seat? I don't even think about whether I am worthy of this position!

   Now it’s all right, even the talent show is scheduled for the first place, there is not even a bit of buffer time!

  Look at how this dead girl stepped down!

  Huang Yueli noticed the gazes cast from all directions, but she didn't feel flustered or nervous at all.

  She showed a sweet and gentle smile, showing everyone's ladylike demeanor, and then slowly stood up, saluting towards the emperor and others.

   "Your Majesty, Empress Dowager, Empress Empress, Your Highnesses, the daughter of the people is Bai Ruoliu, the daughter-in-law of Marquis Wuwei Bai Liufeng. Since the Empress Dowager ordered her to summon her personally, then Li'er will shamelessly show off!"

  The queen looked at her unexpectedly.

  She was the first to call her name because she had heard of her reputation for being ignorant.
