Novel Bin Chapter 246 – Words Bite Back 3
Looking at Ye Qingli\'s eyes, they were a little more reverent towards her.
After some people even heard that Ye Qingli was also the boss behind the seven beauty club, they admired her even more.
"Look at them, they are the ones with hidden intentions!"
"That\'s right, they are shady, and only when you look into it, do you see what\'s actually happening. I have no idea how many people of this kind there are here!"
Ye Yun Xiao heard those sarcastic words, although she was still smiling, but her face has already turned pale.
Jun Lin Feng couldn\'t help but feel distressed.
He didn\'t want his Xiao\'er to be compared with that garbage!
He winked at Imperial Concubine Duan.
Imperial Concubine also wanted to quickly end the talk of this topic. She coughed and said, "Emperor, the offering event is over. Isn\'t it time to invite the ladies from various families to perform?"
When she said this, some people were surprised by it.
Usually, at the palace banquet, there\'s usually no such arrangement.
Usually, dances in the palace banquet are organised by the royal family.
Why did the imperial concubine suddenly change the rules today?
However, looking at the young ladies from the wealthy families and the smiles on their faces.
They suddenly realised, the rumor was actually true!
Emperor Yun An had the intention to allow his sons that are coming of age to choose suitable wives in this banquet!
Everyone\'s eyes lit up!
This was the main course of today\'s event!
In contrast, those events from before could be considered childsplay!
Imperial Concubine Duan smiled and said, "I don\'t know which lucky ladies would be picked today."
She then held a hairpin with a phoenix head at one end, "This was given to me by the emperor when I entered the palace. I have used it as a good omen. Whoever is the lady that is able to satisfy me and my imperial concubine sisters, this hairpin would then be given to her. "
There was loud cheering from the surrounding.
This clearly meant that that person would be chosen to be the crown prince\'s wife!
At that moment, a young girl in a green silk garment came forward.
"The civilian girl is not talented, but I wish to give a song to the Emperor and the Imperial Concubines. I wish my great country great prosperity and flourish."
That person who was speaking was Guo Fei\'er.
She took a seat before the table, she then picked up a pipa and began to play it.
With her fingers rising and falling like a butterfly visiting flowers, a melodious voice suddenly accompanied it.
Ye Qingli did not know how to appreciate it, but by listening to the song, she could understand that Guo Fei\'er\'s skill was out of the ordinary.
Well, she\'s not completely stupid then.
Performing on an occasion like this, no matter what, will make yourself stand out. At the very least, you would have the Emperor and the Imperial Concubines to remember your name.
Even if she couldn\'t be the main wife, she might become a concubine!
Sure enough, during Guo Fei\'er\'s performance, those famous ladies from well-off families seem to finally realise it and were all upset.
Why didn\'t I just go up just now?
The limelight was all taken by Guo Fei\'er!
They were all pumped to perform and were all waiting for Guo Feier to finish.
Some painted, some danced and some sang.
They were all splendid, if they were lights, it would be like during the Lantern Festival, the lights never stopped shining.
Ye Qingli was dazzled.
Not to mention, these ladies were really capable.
Some people recited poems against each other and said poems as if they were talking books. Some people wrote poems and painted, which are almost compared to national treasures.
However, Ye Yun Xiao was just putting on a smile. She seemed to be sitting at ease on a fishing boat despite the storms[1], she did not care about them at all.
[1] to stay calm during a tense situation
It wasn\'t until almost everyone had finished performing before she came walking out.
