Empress Ningbin was a little surprised after hearing Zhou Xiaoyuan's words. She knew that Zhou Xiaoyuan had learned to play the piano, but now she could hear Zhou Xiaoyuan say such words.

She was shocked and a little jealous. She knew that her talent was not as good as Zhou Xiaoyuan, but she didn't want to lose to Zhou Xiaoyuan.

"The Crown Princess can also play the piano?" Empress Ningbi said in a somewhat sinister tone.

Xia Yechen was a little dissatisfied after hearing what Ningbi said. He knew that Empress Ningbi was deliberately finding fault, and he didn't want Zhou Xiaoyuan to be treated like this.

So he said: "The Crown Princess is not a kabuki performer, the Crown Princess's talent is playing the piano."

Ning Bin was speechless by Xia Yechen's words, and her resentment towards Zhou Xiaoyuan became even greater.

She originally thought that Zhou Xiaoyuan was just an ordinary princess who could be manipulated by her, but now it seems that Zhou Xiaoyuan is no longer so easy to deal with.

Zhou Xiaoyuan gently held Xia Yechen's hand and said calmly: "I'm ready, don't worry."

Everyone was a little surprised after hearing Zhou Xiaoyuan's words. They didn't expect Zhou Xiaoyuan to be so calm and confident.

Ning Bin sneered and said, "I'm looking forward to your performance."

Zhou Xiaoyuan smiled and nodded, then walked to the center of the stage and started playing. Her piano sound is beautiful and mesmerizing.

Everyone listened intoxicated, as if they were in a fairyland.

After the song was played, everyone applauded. The emperor also showed a satisfied smile. He was so relieved that his daughter-in-law had become such a wonderful person.

Concubine Shu felt very worried after seeing Zhou Xiaoyuan's performance. she

She was worried that Zhou Xiaoyuan would be targeted because she knew that the women in the palace were very scheming.

"Don't be brave." Concubine Shu said worriedly, "What should you do if you are targeted?"

Zhou Xiaoyuan calmly comforted Concubine Shu and said, "Don't worry, Madam, I will protect myself. I am already prepared and believe in myself."

Concubine Shu felt very relieved after hearing Zhou Xiaoyuan's words.

Ning Bin has been waiting for Zhou Xiaoyuan's performance. She wants to see Zhou Xiaoyuan make a fool of herself and let everyone see Zhou Xiaoyuan's true face.

So, she couldn't wait to tell the story about Zhou Xiaoyuan's talent show for the emperor, and even described how poor Zhou Xiaoyuan's performance was.

"I heard that the Crown Princess will perform a talent show for the Emperor. It's really exciting!" Ning Bin said with a smile, "I wonder what she will perform. Will she make a fool of herself?"

Concubine Shu felt very worried after hearing what Ning Bin said. She knew that Zhou Xiaoyuan's talent was not outstanding, and if she really performed, she would probably make a fool of herself.

She was worried that Zhou Xiaoyuan would fall off the topic and be laughed at. Therefore, she often supervises Zhou Xiaoyuan's daily practice, hoping that she can be prepared.

However, Zhou Xiaoyuan seemed to have long forgotten about performing her talent for the emperor, and was as leisurely and content as usual.

Concubine Shu felt very helpless when she saw Zhou Xiaoyuan's appearance. She didn't know what Zhou Xiaoyuan was thinking and why she didn't prepare well.

After Ning Bin was informed of this incident by the spies sent by Ning Bin, Ning Bin felt very relieved.

Finally the emperor's birthday arrived. The entire palace was filled with an atmosphere of joy, and people were overwhelmed with various celebrations.

Xia Yechen was also among them, but he had been looking for Zhou Xiaoyuan's figure.

"Prince, what are you looking for?" the person next to him asked.

"I'm looking for Zhou Xiaoyuan." Xia Yechen said, "She will perform a talent show for my father today, but I can't find her."

Everyone was very surprised after hearing Xia Yechen's words. They did not expect that Zhou Xiaoyuan would perform a talent show for the emperor, and it was such an important occasion.

"Look, she's over there." Someone pointed at Zhou Xiaoyuan and said.

Xia Yechen looked in the direction of his finger and saw Zhou Xiaoyuan, dressed in red, performing with many dancers. They danced to the music with graceful and elegant figures.

Xia Yechen felt very proud and proud when he watched Zhou Xiaoyuan's performance. He knew that he was right. Zhou Xiaoyuan was a very talented woman.

After the performance, Zhou Xiaoyuan came to the piano stage again. She gently plucked the strings, and the beautiful sound echoed throughout the palace.

People were attracted by her music and looked at her approvingly.

The emperor was also attracted by Zhou Xiaoyuan's performance. He looked at Zhou Xiaoyuan and said: "The Crown Princess is really talented, it is really amazing."

All the concubines were also very surprised by Zhou Xiaoyuan's performance. They didn't expect Zhou Xiaoyuan to have such ability, and they were all discussing in secret.

"It turns out that the Crown Princess has such talent." One of the concubines said, "It's really admirable."

"Yeah, I didn't expect the Crown Princess to be so talented." Another concubine said, "It's really surprising."

The emperor looked at Xia Yechen with admiration in his eyes: "Mr.

My wife, you are really discerning and have found such an outstanding crown princess. "

Xia Yechen smiled proudly: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the compliment."

Concubine Ning heard the emperor's words from the side and was very pleased. She had always been jealous of Zhou Xiaoyuan, and now she felt even more uncomfortable when she heard the emperor praise Zhou Xiaoyuan.

"Your Majesty, you can't say that." Concubine Ning said angrily, "Although the Crown Princess has outstanding talents, her behavior is somewhat immoral."

"As a princess, you should pay more attention to your words and deeds."

When Concubine Shu heard what Ning Bin said, she snorted coldly: "Ning Bin, you asked Zhou Xiaoyuan to perform it yourself, and now you are jealous of her. It's really ridiculous."

"Concubine Shu, what do you mean?" Ning Bin said displeasedly, "I'm just telling the truth."

"Tell the truth?" Concubine Shu sneered, "I don't think you can see anyone else being better than you. Zhou Xiaoyuan's performance is the result of her talent and hard work. What qualifications do you have to make irresponsible remarks here?"

"I..." Ning Bin was speechless for a moment and didn't know how to answer.

At this time, the concubines who were good friends with Concubine Shu also stepped forward to speak for her.

"Yes, Concubine Ning, you are going too far." A concubine said, "Zhou Xiaoyuan's performance is very good, we should applaud her and congratulate her."

"That's right, Concubine Ning, it's so disrespectful for you to say such things about Zhou Xiaoyuan." Another concubine said.

The Queen has always been the authority in the palace, and her status is unrivaled. Everyone present bowed respectfully when they saw the Queen appear.

The queen looked at everyone with a cold face, especially Concubine Ning and Concubine Shu.

She knew that fights between them were a common occurrence in the palace.

However, she did not allow them to be so presumptuous in front of her.
