Your Majesty, Madam, she is not a human being

Chapter 31 Two women flirting
Prince Li Ningyu stood up from his seat and saluted the emperor and empress.Then he said: "Father, the Queen and the Queen, there are many young men and ladies here today, many of whom are outstanding in talent, learning, music and dance. Why don't we take advantage of this spring to show off, and let the Father, the Queen and the Queen see the demeanor of our young son from the Dazhao Kingdom. "

After the prince's suggestion, everyone present agreed, and even some young ladies from the noble families were eager to give it a try.

Huo Qingluan felt a little panicked when he saw this scene.It's obviously a concubine selection meeting, but it's still done in such a grand and high-sounding way. It can't be too fake.

"The prince's words are very true. Here is the decree, ordering the young ladies from all families to show off their talents. If anyone's performance is praised by everyone, they can enter the imperial garden to view the peonies." The emperor's words were resounding and final.

The young ladies and gentlemen present were all very happy, and they were eager to give it a try.

"Prince, come first." The emperor looked at his son below and wanted to support him, so he gave him the opportunity.

"Thank you, Father." Li Ningyu walked to the front of the hall and bowed to everyone, "I recently composed a song "Ode to the Moon" inspired by the moon."

After saying that, Li Ningyu took out a piece of rice paper from his sleeve and walked slowly towards the middle of the hall.

He took a pen and wrote a few words on the white paper, folded it neatly, and put it in his arms.

"Good poem! Good words! Good article!" The praises continued, but Emperor Song's face was not as happy as before.

It's too plain.

It cannot be said that he has no talent, he can only be said to be mediocre.

However, after all, he was his own son, so he couldn't rebuke him in person. The emperor frowned slightly, with a hint of disappointment in his eyes.

This prince... I'm afraid he will have to go through some more training.

"Old Seven, you should be second." Emperor Song looked at the Seventh Prince Song Tao who was sitting below drinking, and said with a smile.

"According to the order." Song Tao stood up and bowed to the center of the hall, "Since the prince has started to perform, I will show my shame."

After saying that, he reached out and touched the sword hanging on his waist, his peach blossom eyes flashing with a sharp cold light.

Song Tao stepped forward, took out his sword from its sheath, and pointed it at the sky.

For a moment, the cold light was sharp, sharp and murderous.

Song Tao's eyes were as sharp as a sword, and his whole body exuded a strong fighting aura, which was frightening.

I saw Song Tao pull out his long sword, fly up and wave it in the air several times.

In an instant, the sky was filled with silver light, dazzling and eye-catching.

"Okay!" Thunderous applause and cheers erupted from below.

Song Tao retracted his sword and landed on the ground with a slight smile on his lips.

"Okay!" Emperor Song couldn't help but applaud, and his mood suddenly felt much better.

The queen looked at her "son" and was filled with joy.She turned her head to face the emperor and whispered softly: "Your Majesty, this is our emperor."

Emperor Song nodded and looked at the queen: "The queen is well educated."

"It's all the child's own efforts." The queen smiled gently, with a loving light flowing in her eyes. "Although I am the mistress of the harem, I didn't help much. This child is so sensible!"

"The queen is humble, I am very happy." Emperor Song patted the queen on the shoulder with a smile on his face.

The emperor and queen above were happy, but the prince below had a dark face.His father's move really slapped him in the face.

"Third, fifth, sixth...you all should come and show off." Emperor Song looked at the princes below and said with a smile.

Upon hearing Emperor Song's call, several princes came out one after another, each performing their best talents, which also pushed the atmosphere to a climax.

As the princes "closed up", the young ladies from various families also came on stage. Among them, Miss Zhang's third girl's song "Blue Sea Tide" caused an uproar.Her skill in playing the piano was superb, and her melodies were beautiful and clear. Together with her stunning appearance, she aroused bursts of applause. "As expected of Master Zhang's daughter, such talent is indeed extraordinary."

"That's right! I've heard of Miss Zhang's talent and reputation for a long time."

……

For a moment, everyone's eyes were focused on Zhang Qiuman.She lowered her head shyly, and her delicate appearance was endearing.

Suddenly, Zhang Qiuman raised his head and his eyes fell on Song Jiyang on the left side of the hall.There was a strange look in her eyes, and she immediately returned to her original state.

At this moment, Song Jiyang was watched by Zhang Qiuman, and an unpleasant emotion suddenly surged in his heart.He turned his head, avoiding Zhang Qiuman's sight, and turned his peripheral vision to Huo Qingluan, who was standing next to him.

Sure enough... the murderous eyes were already directed at him.

Cold sweat broke out on Song Jiyang's forehead, and he kept wailing in his heart. He was afraid that he was going to be killed by Zhang Qiuman!
He moved back slightly and said softly: "Miss Huo, I am clean both physically and mentally."

Huo Qingluan glanced at Song Jiyang and said nothing, feeling that this man was quite sensible.It’s just that she’s all rotten peach blossoms!
What a nuisance!

Huo Qingluan's attitude was very cold, but the murderous intention was gone, which made Song Jiyang relieved.

Naturally, the movements here could not be hidden from Emperor Song's eyes.He looked at the interaction between the two, with a deep look in his eyes.

The third lady of the Zhang family?How did Song Jiyang get involved with the Zhang family?The young lady from Zhang's family is a well-known talented girl in China, so it would be okay to marry Jiyang as his wife.

However, the boy may not agree.

While Emperor Song was thinking, the audience burst into applause again. It was another young lady who had finished her performance.

"Next, I invite Miss Li Lanli." The eunuch's high-pitched voice spread to every corner.

Miss Li walked onto the stage gracefully in a water-blue dress. Her appearance was delicate and dignified, and her temperament was gentle.

She bowed Yingying and then stood up.

Li Lan walked to the middle of the hall, raised his head slightly, looked forward, and started singing a melodious and moving song, which was as refreshing and fascinating as the tinkling of spring water.

Huo Qingluan listened to this song seriously. It had to be said that although Li Lan had a bad personality, this song was indeed a good song.

After finishing the song, there was warm applause from below again, which lasted for a long time.

"Well done Miss Li!"

"As expected of the daughter of Prime Minister Zuo."

"Not only is she outstanding in talent and appearance, but she also has a stable temperament. If anyone can marry her, it must be a blessing that has been cultivated in three generations."

……

Li Lan stood on the stage with a smile on his face, looking flattered.

She turned around and bowed below: "Thank you for your support, my little girl is scared." However, even though she said this, her eyes were fixed on Song Jiyang without blinking. It was such an obvious secret glance that everyone present could clearly see it.

Now, everyone is looking forward to Song Jiyang's reaction even more.

However, His Royal Highness the Regent did not even look at her, as if he was completely unaware.

Li Lan's face turned ugly and he clenched his fists tightly.It's all that ugly woman's fault. If it weren't for her, how could Brother Jiyang ignore him?
