Chapter 300
~ IF YOU DON’T MAKE A NOISE, YOU’LL BE ALL RIGHT NOW . ONE BLAST IS AMAZING! ~
The Grand Princess Yi De laughed . “Those martial arts I trained in the past were just fancy martial arts . Firstly, I wanted to look good, and secondly, I wanted to strengthen my body . However, there is no way to compare it with you . ”
“Who said that? Royal Father often praises Royal Aunt, so you must help me give a few pointers today . ” As he said this, he directed his men to move down the gifts placed in the hall . “Eldest Brother, move aside quickly . This punch and kick have no eyes . If you are injured, it would not be good . ”
Anger flashed in the First Prince’s heart as he coldly snorted and retreated to the side .
The Second Prince displayed a set of fist techniques, and his lower body was very stable . He was very energetic, and every punch brought about a thunderous wind sound . His speed was as fast as the wind and as fast as lightning, which made others people be able to tell that he was extraordinary .
After this set of fist techniques was executed, the Second Prince’s face was covered in a sheen of sweat, but his eyes still brightly shone as he looked at Grand Princess Yi De . “Royal Aunt, how about my set of fist techniques?”
“It seems pretty good, but there are some places where the movement of one’s fists is not coherent . I wonder why?”
“Royal Aunt has good eyesight . Speaking of this set of fist techniques, I only saw Fourth Brother fight with this set of fist techniques once . He stayed in the Capital for a short time last time . I wanted to learn it from him, but he quickly returned to Western Guangdong . I could only recall the movements I saw last time, which why there some places are incoherent . “
Hearing the Second Prince mention the Fourth Prince, Ning Junyue, the hall atmosphere suddenly seemed to freeze .
Grand Princess Yi Deturned her head to look at the Emperor with a very stiff complexion . She couldn’t help but sigh to herself . “This Mid-Autumn Festival, did Junyue not return?”
“Why does Royal Elder Sister mention that unfilial son? He is willing to stay in western Guangdong, so let him stay in western Guangdong!” The Emperor angrily said this . For a while, the whole hall fell silent .
“I haven’t seen Junyue for several years because I don’t have time to return to the Capital . That child only comes to the Capital once a year, so I haven’t had the chance to see him for a long time . Coincidentally, this time I will be staying in the Capital for a while, so we might as well call him back . Although there are still a few months until the New Year, time often flies quickly, and in the blink of an eye, people who are in a hurry get old . ”
The Emperor thought for a moment before nodding . He seemed unwilling to accept this and said, “Alright, I’ll listen to what Royal Elder Sister says . ”
The Second Prince’s eyes lit up . “That would be great . When Fourth Brother returns to the Capital, I must properly consult this set of fist techniques style . ” After which, he left .
Mu Yunyao sized him up, feeling that his expression was a bit happier than before . Could it be that this Second Prince had a good relationship with Yue Wang?
The Third Prince presented two of his paintings, one for the Emperor and the other for the Grand Princess .
“Not bad . I quite like this gift . ”
The Third Prince’s expression was extremely docile and respectful . “As long as Royal Father and Royal Aunt like it . ”
Mu Yunyao slightly lowered her eyes, and a trace of ridicule flashed extremely quickly in her eyes . This Third Prince had always been like this . No matter what he did, he would always treat everyone with extreme gentleness . But after living with him for a few years, Mu Yunyao was extremely clear that Prince Jin’s gentle and refined temperament and actions were only a form of appearance, a means to help him achieve his goal . In actuality, he was a narrow-minded person who held a deep grudge . If he is a minister, he can make good use of it and do some practical things . But if he was to be the monarch, it might bring about a disaster .
In summary, there was only one word that could describe him — hypocritical!
When the princes had all paid their respects and finished offering gifts, the Emperor waved his hand, no longer allowing the Imperial Concubines and officials to go forward . “Every year, you all deliver similar gifts . Back and forth, there are so many of them . It looks a little boring . ”
The officials standing below all understood what the Emperor was planning . “Your Majesty, many women have come to the Palace banquet, especially the young ladies of the various families . If they are allowed to display their talents, then Grand Princess Yi De will be able to give them a few pointers . ”
The Emperor nodded . “That’s a good idea . What do you think, Royal Elder Sister?”
The Grand Princess Yi De looked around the hall, seeing those carefully dressed young ladies . Her eyes were very calm, as if there was not a single ripple in them, “The things I learned when I was young are almost forgotten now, so I can't give pointers, but I have heard the names of many talented women in the Capital for a long time . It is quite a rare opportunity to see the names of quite a few talented girls today . ”
“Alright . ” The Emperor was so happy . “Is there anyone willing to be the first one to come forward?”
Su Yuyi sat beside the Eldest Madam . Her eyes flashed with excitement, “Mother?”
The Eldest Madam slightly shook her head . “Don’t be impatient . ”
The Eldest Madam was able to hold her composure, but the others might not . Very soon, someone stood out .
Mu Yunyao and Zhang Wan sat side by side at the back . They watched as the first person on stage was the legitimate daughter of the head of the Imperial Academy, Zhou Yuyin . She sat with Zhang Wan before at the Su family’s banquet, so she is an acquaintance .
Zhang Wan was also surprised: “I didn’t expect that Miss Zhou would be the first one to stand up . Usually, she is pretty quiet . ”
Mu Yunyao looked at Zhou Yuyin’s slightly flustered expression and couldn’t help but smile slightly . She was afraid that Miss Zhou hadn’t stood out on her own accord, but she had instead been pushed out by the two women by her side . It was nerve-wracking to do such a small act in the main hall, so her courage was really not small .
“This subject, Zhou Yuyin, whose father is the head of the Imperial Academy, is willing to play a song for the Emperor and the Grand Princess . ”
“Yes . ”
With the zither brought up, Zhou Yuyin calmed herself and began to play . At first, she was very nervous and even pressed the wrong string . But later, the zither’s sound gradually became smoother, and it was possible to hear that her skill was extraordinary .
After the song ended, Zhou Yuhan’s face became even paler .
Grand Princess Yi De nodded, seemingly extremely satisfied . “Not bad, I recently acquired a few palace flowers, but their color is a bit bright, just perfect for a little girl like you . Qu Mama, don’t forget to reward them to her later . ”
The mama behind the Grand Princess Yi De hurriedly nodded . “Yes . ”
Zhou Yuyin let out a heavy sigh of relief, kowtowing and returning to her seat .
Mu Yunyao looked at the scene in front of her and admired Grand Princess Yi De even more from the bottom of her heart . No wonder she was able to support the Emperor all the way to ascend the throne .
Just as she was thinking, she saw Su Yuyi stand up .
Mu Yunyao slightly raised the corner of her lips, her eyes filled with anticipation . She had initially thought that this young miss would wait a little longer, but she hadn’t expected that she would be so impatient . Right now, the outside of the Palace was very lively, and she had arranged for a great show to take place .
Su Yuyi, since you want to make a name for yourself, I’ll help you spread your reputation more widely . When the time comes, I hope you won’t cry!
