The host is cute and charming, who doesn’t love the charming wife?

After something like this happened, the banquet naturally couldn't go on.

Xu Qingqing said a few words, warned everyone not to talk too much when they went back, and dismissed everyone.

In front of so many people, someone could only send Ruan Miaomiao back to Chuxiu Palace at a distance, and finally leave on his own.

You seem to have forgotten something?

Ruan Miaomiao stopped halfway and attracted Wang Wenyu's concern.

She stopped thinking about it and shook her head.

Anyway, after today, Zhao Ronger has reaped the consequences.

As for the queen, after the prince dies, she will be shitted on her head by the imperial concubine. These people will not have many good days.

……

Until the sun goes down, in a secluded rockery cave, a palace maid wakes up quietly.

She held the back of her head, where there was a particularly raised spot, and there was a faint pain.

"Where is this...why don't I remember anything..."

The palace maid's face was full of panic.

"Oops, Aunt Mo asked me to wash the clothes this morning!"

……

Since that day, Ruan Miaomiao has seen very few, or even no, people who have seen Zhao Ronger.

I heard from other show girls that Zhao Ronger locked herself in the room without eating or drinking.

She was emo, and Ruan Miaomiao's mind immediately recalled the words she had learned online some time ago, and she felt a little guilty but not much.

Within a few days, Zhao Ronger mysteriously disappeared from Chuxiu Palace.

According to the information obtained by Xu Qingqing, Zhao Ronger went to the queen in tears and asked her father to take her home.

Although Xu Qingqing and even the Queen sent people to warn the ladies about what happened that day, there were so many people who couldn't argue.

Even if she is not in front of Zhao Ronger, she will always whisper to people she knows well behind her back.

Once Zhao Ronger has such thoughts in her heart, she will always be particularly concerned about other people's eyes.

She felt that if she continued to stay here, she would be driven crazy sooner or later.

The queen might also feel a little guilty, but for the first time she didn't say much about Zhao Ronger's willful thoughts.

After the three people were relieved, they randomly found an insignificant mistake and got Zhao Ronger out of the palace.

……

Time passed day by day, and finally we came to the final palace selection.

The scale of this draft is not very large, so the process is much simpler.

Many irrelevant things are omitted.

Ruan Miaomiao and the others first had a look at the three giants, the Queen Mother, the Emperor and the Empress, and eliminated some beautiful ladies who were too nervous and had poor manners, and finally only twenty were left.

Among them were Ruan Miaomiao, Wang Wenyu and Xu Qingqing.

The whole atmosphere was quite serious. The emperor looked about forty or fifty years old, with a slightly muscular figure.

After asking everyone for some basic information, only one girl from a county with a low status was selected to enter the harem.

The rest of the beautiful ladies were left behind. In the evening, there would be a dinner party for the princes to choose from.

"Hey, why are you so nervous all of a sudden?"

Wang Wenyu returned to the house and touched his arm, and the hairs on it stood up.

Ruan Miaomiao said amusedly, "Why are you nervous? Weren't you always calm before?"

Seeing Ruan Miaomiao still making fun of herself as before, Wang Wenyu flashed a trace of anger in his eyes.

"Of course I'm not worried about myself, it's just that I rarely encounter such an opportunity in my life, just this once!"

She raised an index finger and gestured towards Ruan Miaomiao. "This is related to the rest of my life... Even if I regret it, I won't have the chance to do it again."

Confusion flashed across her brows.

He steeled himself again and used ridicule to cover up his recent gaffe.

"Besides, I'm a little worried about you. What are you planning to perform later?"

She winked at Ruan Miaomiao.

Ruan Miaomiao didn't ask any further questions. She raised her guzheng and signaled.

"No, I'll play a song for everyone to cheer for you when the time comes."

"You really want to perform the guzheng, but I heard that many people have prepared this."

Although she had not heard Ruan Miaomiao play it completely, Xu Qingqing had been practicing guzheng since she was a child. She became famous in the capital with her song "High Mountains and Flowing Waters" at the age of ten.

I heard that she also prepared a guzheng performance this time.

"Hey, am I that bad at playing?"

Ruan Miaomiao blinked innocently and said in a shameless cuteness.

"Although I have just started learning, and it may be average compared to my other talents, it should not be to the point where I can't listen to my ears."

Seeing Ruan Miaomiao being so calm, Wang Wenyu also admired her big heart.

She didn't believe a word Ruan Miaomiao said that she had just learned the guzheng recently.

Not to mention what the other party said, except for the piano, which is relatively unfamiliar, all the other eight talents are proficient.

Even if you have been trained since childhood, it is impossible to achieve mastery in so many talents.

Take her for example. Although she has a lazy personality, under the supervision of her mother, she still chose three subjects that interested her since she was a child.

Just prepare for this draft.

At this moment, Chuxiu Palace was incredibly quiet, completely unlike before.

Basically everyone is dressing up just to shine in the evening.

Some people are worried about screwing up their talent show and are now practicing hard.

Soon, the time was up.

They were waiting at the entrance of the palace in advance, and the decoration inside was almost completed.

The golden and jade rolling curtains shine like pearls on the moon; the flags are just light and shadow, and the lamps lie thousands of miles away, illuminating a hall.

Everywhere there were beautiful palace maids coming and going with emerald plates carrying food, which made those watching feel happy.

Ruan Miaomiao and others were arranged one by one by specialized personnel to sit down in the palace.

The specifications and grades are much higher than those of the Spring Banquet.

Not long after they sat down, a eunuch came in with a whisk hanging on his arm. He was the eunuch who had been beside the emperor in the morning.

"Well be well, ladies and gentlemen. The Emperor and the princes will be arriving shortly. Please be patient and have some snacks to cushion your stomach."

Ruan Miaomiao also just learned that the queen would be absent from the dinner tonight because of physical discomfort.

Correspondingly, accompanying the emperor this time was the imperial concubine who had been favored continuously over the years.

It must have been her last attack that allowed the imperial concubine to catch the queen's hand and win this victory.

Sure enough, the imperial concubine was dressed very grandly this time.

Her hair is in a high bun, and she is gorgeously dressed. She wears a brocade palace dress with gold threads, chrysanthemums and chrysanthemums, and a large-sleeved orange-red robe as thin as cicada wings.

Her head is covered with pearls and emeralds, and she is so beautiful.

At this moment, one hand was holding the emperor's arm affectionately beside her, and it was impossible to tell that she was honored and favored.

After the two of them took their seats, several princes also walked in.

Ruan Miaomiao's seat is relatively remote, and the front is blocked by people, so she cannot see some places.

Only after the emperor asked some questions did the dinner officially begin.
