Zhao Ying helped Mrs. Zhao sit on the soft couch with her, and looked around the palace at the lady who became cautious due to her appearance.

The corner of my eye inadvertently stopped for a moment on Xu Mingyue.

Zhao Ying's overly eye-catching appearance and timid little family spirit made Zhao Ying unhappy in every aspect.

As long as she thought of Xie Chongyu's constant clamor to marry Xu Mingyue into the palace these days, the disgust between Zhao Ying's brows would emerge.

If you rely on your looks to seduce a man on the day you return to Beijing, you have no talent or virtue.

Even with the prophecy from Qin Tianjian, Zhao Ying felt that Xu Mingyue was not worthy of marrying her two sons.

A slight dissatisfaction flashed past, Zhao Ying's bright eyes were smiling, and her dignified face was softened:

"Today is my ancestor's 80th birthday. On such a happy day, everyone should not be restrained and should be happy."

Zhao Muyun often went to the palace to accompany Zhao Ying, how could he miss the flash of disgust in Zhao Ying's eyes.

Coincidentally, Zhao Muyun also disliked Xu Mingyue very much.

As if he was carefully observing the silence in the room, Zhao Muyun walked up to Zhao Ying and acted as Zhao Ying's caring person extremely intelligently:

"Aunt, ancestor, all the sisters who came to this birthday banquet today are people with excellent talents. We all want to fulfill our filial piety in front of our ancestors. How about we all come to present our talents after lunch? We should all give it to How do you two feel about adding some fun to our ancestor’s birthday?”

Zhao Ying naturally understood the reason for Zhao Muyun's suggestion. Everyone in the capital knew that one of the two legitimate sons born in the middle palace would definitely marry Zhao Muyun.

But Zhao Muyun didn't want to simply be a princess, she had her sights set on the position of the princess.

Naturally, Zhao Ying and Zhao Xiang also wanted Zhao Muyun to marry the prince so that they could continue the glory of the Zhao family.

Today, Xu Mingyue, a woman from the East Palace predicted by Qin Tian Jian, appeared out of thin air. She also had such a stunning appearance. How could her most powerful niece endure it?

As for Zhao Ying, she would naturally not refuse to watch Xu Mingyue's fun.

Not only did she want to watch, Xie Chongyu and Xie Chongan also had the pleasure of watching Xu Mingyue, lest their minds be confused by this superficial beauty and harm the brotherly harmony.

After thinking about this method for a while, Zhao Ying nodded towards Zhao Muyun and turned to ask Mrs. Zhao for her advice: "I think this kind of fun is really interesting. I wonder what my ancestors think?"

Mrs. Zhao raised her finger and pointed at Zhao Muyun, and said with a smile: "You are just a ghost. You always think of fun things to coax people."

Zhao Muyun came forward and shook Mrs. Zhao's hand, and said softly: "Ancestor, please let us all fulfill our filial piety."

Putting a hand on Zhao Muyun's forehead, Mrs. Zhao happily agreed: "Then just follow what Mu Yun said, I will also be blessed with the vigor of you little girls."

Mrs. Zhao felt that the simple performance was not lively enough, so she immediately took off the jade bracelet on her wrist:

"Since you are all talented, you must have a lucky draw. I have been wearing this bracelet for several years. When the time comes, it will be given to whoever wins."

As soon as Mrs. Zhao's gift was placed on the tray, Zhao Ying also took off a jade hairpin from her head: "This hairpin was given to me by Chongyu, so I followed my ancestor's gift with Chongyu's filial piety. "

What was originally a simple talent show turned into a talent competition with the added bonus of Mrs. Zhao and Zhao Ying.

The two most important people in the house followed the lottery, and naturally all the ladies here also followed suit. Soon the tray was filled with gold and jade of all kinds.

Lin Yan put the ring in his hand on the tray and said with a smile: "Now that we have this competition, the little girls in this room may be so worried that they won't even have enough lunch."

"Since we are celebrating the birthday of the old lady, this competition is allowed, but whether we win or lose is filial piety. Girls from all families should not be too worried."

Lin Yan's calm expression didn't seem to care much about this kind of competition, but what he said in the ears of all the clan wives confirmed the idea that Xu Mingyue's talent was unavailable.

Since some people want to show off this talent, naturally there are also some clan wives who know their daughter's abilities and don't want to show it off.

At that moment, a wife began to agree: "The main thing today is to bring joy to our ancestors. Whether it's good or bad, we should treat it as a sign of filial piety."

"That's natural." Zhao Ying had a slight smile on her lips.

"I haven't seen such excitement in a long time. I came here today just for fun. Secondly, I also wanted to see the talent and learning of this woman from the capital, so that I can take charge of the marriage of the two princes of this palace in advance. Eye."

Zhao Ying revealed very frankly that she wanted to pass this talent competition to help her two sons look after each other.

With such a big profit gimmick, the clan wives in the house suddenly became two groups.

Yibo hopes that his daughter can compete with Zhao Muyun for the top spot, so that he can catch Zhao Ying's attention.

Yibo hoped that Xu Mingyue would be worse and secure the last place, so as not to embarrass them too much.

After such matters were finalized, before it was time for lunch, there were a lot of empty seats scattered in the room.

Those noble ladies who found various reasons to leave the house never came back after leaving the house.

When lunch started, only Xu Mingyue, a noblewoman who had not yet left the court, was still sitting at the table.

The ladies of the house cast their puzzled gazes on Xu Mingyue. No matter how incompetent she was, she could still lose a few people by doing it temporarily.

But Xu Mingyue's broken appearance was even more unappealing to the ladies of the family.

Xu Mingyue didn't care about these people's looks. Instead, she sat next to Lin Yan, and the mother and daughter had their lunch quietly.

Whenever Lin Yan eats something that tastes good, he will use serving chopsticks to pick up another piece for Xu Mingyue, and Xu Mingyue only needs to lower her head and eat silently.

The dishes her grandma picked were naturally her favorites.

Neither Lin Yan nor her daughter thought there was anything wrong with eating a full meal first, but others did not think so. They only thought that Xu Mingyue's non-competitive behavior showed that she was not very smart.

Sometimes this person is so stupid that people will feel sorry for him.

During the meal, a wife of the clan took the initiative to remind Xu Mingyue out of pity: "What birthday gifts will Princess Mingyue prepare later?"

Xu Mingyue raised her head and smiled at the person who asked: "I practiced Guqin for a few days a few days ago, and I can't remember the music score. My personal maid went back to my house to get the music score for me. I'll play that later."

Although the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion has not been as good as before in recent years, the lintel is still very impressive during this banquet.

Even if a wife of the clan came forward to sell her favors: "My girl is going to the backyard to prepare. Why don't Princess Mingyue go and practice first, so as not to show the princess's secret power later?" With his strength, he has lost the face of the Zhenguo Duke’s Mansion in vain.”

"Thank you madam for your concern." Xu Mingyue declined with a smile: "My father and mother-in-law do not love me because I am powerful, so it doesn't matter if I lose."
