When we reached the intersection leading to the rehearsal place, we were greeted by a little maid who had been waiting for a long time: "I have met Princess Mingyue, and my girl asked me to guide you."

Xu Mingyue looked at the maid who came here just to wait for her, and understood Zhao Muyun's intention.

With her peripheral vision passing by the attic, Xu Mingyue saw a red figure climbing up the stairs, and then she generously complied with Zhao Muyun's wish and walked towards the rehearsal space at the far end.

The closed door was opened from the inside when there was a knock on the door. The maid waiting at the door held a book in her hand and asked Xu Mingyue in a polite manner: "Princess Mingyue, what kind of talent do you want to perform today?"

Youyu pointed to the piano score in Tiantian's hand and spoke on his behalf: "My princess's talent today is the guqin. We have to choose which piece to play."

The maid in charge of registration had obviously never thought that in such a tight time frame, there would be a noble lady who didn't even pick out a good song.

But after thinking about Zhao Muyun’s explanation, I felt that this situation was normal:

"Okay, I will directly register the guqin with the princess. Now you can walk along this small gravel road to the end, which is the rehearsal place. I wish the princess good results."

Xu Mingyue nodded slightly and led the two maids into the rehearsal place.

Youyu could remain calm after seeing this battle, but Tiantian was dumbfounded.

This is not a personal talent show. Each noble lady is exquisitely dressed and there are so many supporting characters behind her. It is no different from a large dinner party.

But Xu Mingyue already knew what she would see.

The vast majority of women in this capital have spent their entire lives preparing to marry one person. They have learned these talents in the hope that the matrons of various families will see them so that they can choose a good marriage for them.

Just like Xu Mingyue in her previous life, in order to become Xie Chongan's crown prince, in order to have that talent and reputation, she practiced the guqin every day, and practiced her slender jade fingers until they were covered with thick calluses.

But those ten years of working day and night failed to leave a way for Xu Mingyue to survive when Xu Mingyue was in desperate situation.

Youyu knew that Tiantian and Xu Mingyue had not returned to Beijing for a long time, so they must not know these people, so he whispered in their ears:

"The person wearing a pink gauze skirt that occupies half of the room at the end, with more than 20 dancers behind her, is the legitimate daughter of the Yushi Zhongcheng family. Her surname is Li. She should be performing a water sleeve dance today."

"The woman wearing an ink skirt and writing calligraphy while dancing is the direct daughter of a household minister. Her ink dance is an ancestral inheritance in the family. Today is a birthday banquet. The slave feels that after the dance, she must say a birthday wish. End of picture."

"The woman holding the sword in both hands, and behind her were a dozen women dressed in military uniforms. She is the general's sister, and she is the general who was given up by our father-in-law."

"The person sitting in the meandering water cup, playing the music of flowing water from the mountains, is the concubine of the Zhao family. She just talked to you in the house. Her guzheng skills are unrivaled by anyone in the capital."

"All in all, the people rehearsing in this courtyard are all powerful and talented top ladies in the capital. Just take a look, girl. If the pressure is too great and it hurts your mind, the Duke of the Kingdom will definitely feel sorry for you."

Through Youyu's words, Tiantian understood why Xu Mingyue had to come to this rehearsal room.

They wanted to scare Xu Mingyue in advance through her talent. It would be best if Xu Mingyue didn't even dare to go on stage because of her low self-esteem.

Because of her anger, Tiantian's voice didn't lower at all: "Youyu, don't gain her popularity. Our girl will never lose."

The people who were rehearsing in the courtyard stopped all their movements at the same time because of the movement.

Xu Mingyue ignored the dispute between the two personal maids, ignored everyone's gaze, and slowly walked to the table and sat down.

After smelling it carefully, Xu Mingyue took out the cleaned silver needle very deliberately and tried the tea cake. After confirming that it was non-toxic, she ate the cake slowly with the tea.

Just like the one who didn't have lunch was not the lady in the room, but Xu Mingyue.

In the eyes of these people, Xu Mingyue's action of testing cakes with a silver needle was a clear show off.

They were all rehearsing hard in the backyard. Xu Mingyue easily stuck a few needles in the front yard and made a big splash. How could they be willing to do so?

The more I look at it, the more I feel that Xu Mingyue is not pleasing to the eye. Since it is not pleasing to the eye, someone will naturally want to be the one who takes the lead.

"Look at how poor she is. She looks like she has never had any snacks in her life."

Xu Mingyue's eyes locked on the girl in ink clothes for a moment, and she threw the snack in her hand, accurately destroying the woman's carefully painted plum blossom makeup.

A sharp cry came out, attracting the eyes from the attic: "Ah ah ah, Xu Mingyue, please pay for my makeup."

There was a conflict here, and Zhao Muyun, the young master of the Prime Minister's Mansion, immediately got up, first arranged for the maid to take the girl to touch up her makeup, and then personally led everyone to Xu Mingyue.

With his brows furrowed, Zhao Muyun suppressed his dissatisfaction and asked angrily: "Miss Xu, she just said such a casual word, why did you directly ruin her makeup?"

Zhao Muyun said this, and the other noble girl climbed up the pole: "It's just that your talents are not as good as others, and you have such evil thoughts to make her lose the opportunity to show off."

"Miss Xu is a really good tutor. If nothing else, she is very good at using these insidious tricks."

As soon as the woman holding the sword in her hand finished speaking, Xu Mingyue stood up with a smile and slapped her hands down twice.

The movements were clean and neat, without any strength in the hand, leaving two clear slap marks on the woman's face.

"you you…"

The woman first pointed at Xu Mingyue, and then after seeing that Xu Mingyue didn't even look at her, she stabbed Xu Mingyue directly with the hand holding the sword blade.

"You bitch, you dare to hit me, I want your life."

Xu Mingyue kicked the stool at her feet away. The woman tripped over the stool and fell into a miserable state like a dog chewing shit.

With a calm and clear expression, Xu Mingyue walked step by step to the woman's side, lifted the woman's red and swollen cheeks with her embroidered shoes, and said:

"This princess was personally granted the title of Princess Mingyue by the late emperor. I am my tutor. What qualifications do you have to give me advice?"

Slowly retracting her feet, Xu Mingyue said threatening words in an extremely gentle voice: "Next time you see this princess, remember to stay away, otherwise I will beat you once I see you."

Zhao Muyun was shocked by Xu Mingyue's arrogant and lawless appearance, and his eyes were filled with anger: "Xu Mingyue, was that all just pretending?"

"No." With an innocent face, Xu Mingyue sat on the stool again and looked up at Zhao Muyun: "It's the first time I've been praised by so many people. I'm still not used to it."

"In the future, if I attend more such scenes and get complimented by others, I will no longer be afraid when I get used to it."
