Divine Doctor Abandoned Concubine

Chapter 51 Provocation (2)
As for the daughters of high-ranking officials and noble families, as well as the princesses in the palace, and the princesses in the prince's mansion, there were about thirty people in total, and three tables were arranged for each, accompanied by Princess Jingyan.

The tables here are all large tables that can seat no more than ten people. In this way, the male and female guests add up to nearly twenty tables on both sides.Although the banquet was divided into male and female guest areas, it was just separated by a performance stage. Emperor Nanhua's table and Queen Mother Yan's table were in front of the stage, and they were very close, so they could talk when they looked up. Sometimes when Emperor Nanhua was interested in chatting with his ministers, he would turn his head and talk to the Empress Dowager Yan at the next table, talking and laughing, and the atmosphere was very lively.

Not long after the luncheon started, there were pre-arranged performers on stage, some playing music, some dancing, and some juggling.They were all prepared in advance, so the performances were wonderful and won numerous applause from the guests.

In the middle of the luncheon, someone suggested that this rare opportunity should allow the daughters of each family, including princesses and princesses, and those young concubines to perform on stage, each presenting their best talent to cheer everyone up.Emperor Nanhua and Empress Xiahou both agreed with this proposal.

Emperor Nanhua even boldly promised: "My daughters and nieces, I won't talk about them. It's rare that the ladies are so interested and have the courage. In order to show my support for them, I decided to take out gold from my small treasury. 500 taels will be used as a reward, and the top few with the most outstanding talents will be rewarded."

Empress Xiahou also nodded when she heard the words: "The emperor is very right. Since the emperor generously took out 500 taels of gold from his small treasury, I, as the mother of a country, can't be stingy. I didn't prepare in advance, so I had to put this book on my head. As a reward for No.1, the Nanzhu Jinbuyao, which is the most favorite of the palace, and a pair of mutton fat warm jade jadeite bracelets are also added."

Empress Xiahou said with a pleasant smile, she took off the pearl walker on the spot as soon as she finished speaking, and then took off a pair of jade bracelets from her wrists and put them on the jade plate held by the maid at one side.

Seeing this, the other concubines in the harem also took out one or two pieces of jewelry: "The emperor and the queen have expressed their intentions. If the concubines don't add one or two pieces according to the trend, I'm afraid they will be laughed at for being stingy."

At the end of the round, the jewels on the jade plate were piled up as high as a hill, and they were all said to be rewards for No.1.

The Empress Dowager Yan was not interested in this, but she did not object at all, and took off a string of gold silk beeswax beads from her wrist: "Since everyone is so excited, the Ai family can't spoil everyone's happiness, can they? Come on, Eunuch Ai , to help the Ai family put this string of beads into the jade plate, it is a little care of the Ai family."

Eunuch Ai was a little surprised by Queen Mother Yan's actions, how could the Queen Mother be willing?It took a lot of effort to get these beeswax beads!Just giving it away as a reward, wouldn't it be a bit too generous?

But when there were so many people, Eunuch Ai still didn't say anything, took the beads and really put them in the jade plate.

Empress Dowager Yan's string of beeswax beads had just been placed in the pile of ornaments, and immediately attracted the attention of the concubines.The string of beeswax beads is made of yellow silk wax, the texture is very pure, the golden yellow silk and flow patterns are all in the shape of clouds and mist, very beautiful to look at.Moreover, the beads on it are the same, and the beads are round, so you can tell at a glance that they are the top treasures in beeswax.Those concubines are people who know the goods, so they naturally know that the string of beeswax beads of the Empress Dowager Yan is very valuable, and those who don't plan to perform on stage for a while hope that they are the No. 1 of that name.And those who decided to go on the stage were as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, and secretly cheered up to fight for the No.1.

Sitting next to Queen Mother Yan, Sun Youyou was also a little surprised at Queen Mother Yan's generosity, but she didn't intend to make that kind of limelight, so she didn't think about performing on stage.It's not that I can't produce amazing performances, but I'm really not interested.

The Empress Dowager Yan also wanted Sun Youyou to come to power. Many people didn't understand that Sun Youyou lost her mother when she was young, and she didn't like her stepmother. Probably not good at any talent.But Queen Mother Yan is not someone else, and Sun Youyou has been with her for several years. She knows Sun Youyou, but she is also proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, lyrics and poetry, so she can be called a talented woman.It's just that she doesn't like to show off, so few people know that she is actually good at it.

The Empress Dowager Yan knew Sun Youyou's strength, and she also hoped that Sun Youyou could be on stage, so she made such a generous move.It took her a lot of effort to get the string of beeswax beads, and she was reluctant to wear them on weekdays. She would only wear them on her hands when she chanted Buddhist scriptures.Today is also a rise, and it will be worn out.Although the Empress Dowager Yan valued the string of beeswax masters very much, she would be very happy if Sun Youyou could let her go.Her You Yatou is a perfect and impeccable beauty, but she hides it deeply, which is why she taught those people to mistake pearls for fish eyes, especially Xiao Si'er, who is simply blind and ignorant.

Every time she thinks about the marriage between Sun Youyou and Yu Wenli, the Empress Dowager Yan feels very distressed.It's all because she was too soft-hearted at the beginning, and she agreed to Yizhi's marriage because of Yu Yatou's begging, so that Yuya Tou's marriage is not at all satisfactory now.On such a crowded occasion today, Empress Dowager Yan suddenly hoped that Sun Youyou would be brave enough to step onto the stage and shine in front of her eyes. She believed that with the strength of girl Youyou, she would be able to surprise everyone.It's also good to make those blind people regret secretly after reading it.

It's just that the Empress Dowager Yan seemed a little disappointed. Seeing those famous ladies, princesses, princesses, and concubines in the harem all performing on stage one by one in order, Sun Youyou's face was calm, and she didn't seem to have any intentions to join her.

In fact, Sun Youyou didn't feel it. From the time when the famous ladies appeared on stage one by one, the Empress Dowager Yan looked at her several times intentionally or unintentionally, and looked forward to each time.She knew that Empress Dowager Yan actually wanted her to perform on stage, and Empress Dowager Yan must have hoped that she could show herself well and surprise those who didn't know her goodness.

Sun Youyou understood the painstaking efforts of Queen Mother Yan, but she really didn't want to perform like this.So today she is destined to disappoint Queen Mother Yan.

Just because Sun Youyou made such a decision, it doesn't mean that there will be support.

Princess Jingyan didn't know what kind of tendon it was. Halfway through the performance, she jumped out and said that she wanted to compete with Sun Youyou on stage, and begged the consent of Emperor Nanhua and Queen Mother Yan: "Father, my daughter heard that the fourth emperor's sister-in-law Talented, she is a rare talented woman. My daughter has learned various talents such as piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, lyrics and poetry since she was a child, and now she is considered a small achievement. My daughter selfishly hopes to take this rare opportunity today to meet Si Huangsao Let's have a discussion, and at the same time, please comment on the father and other guests, what is the daughter's performance that is not as good as the Sihuang's wife, and the daughter must study harder afterwards, and will never allow herself to bear the identity of the princess. Therefore, Jing Yan is here to implore father and grandmother to agree and support Jingyan's request. I also implore Sihuang's wife to agree to Jingyan's request. Jingyan knows that she has done something wrong this morning and made Sihuang's wife unhappy. , Jingyan has already reflected on herself and knows that she has indeed done something wrong. Here I would like to say thank you to Sister-in-law Sihuang for her selfless teaching to Jingyan in the morning. Take things to heart, Jingyan is young and ignorant, please forgive me, sister-in-law of the Fourth Emperor."
