The Queen was slightly surprised to see such a bright and beautiful Su Yue, "You are the eldest daughter of the Su family, Su Yue? This is very different from the rumors."

Su Yue seldom attended banquets before, and naturally had never participated in any banquet in the palace. Everyone knew about the things going on in the back house, so she had only heard of Su Yue but had never seen Su Yue in person.

Especially in the past two days, I heard that Su Yue and Duke Li’s stupid son were engaged, and they were going to get married at the beginning of next month.

When the queen heard the news, she really wanted to know what kind of person Su Yue was, because no normal girl would want to marry a man with the mentality of a three-year-old child.

After some inquiries, I found out that Su Yue rarely appeared in public, and her life was not that easy. It really was true that if there was a stepmother, there would be a stepfather.

"It's me, thank you for the compliment, Queen. I also feel that the Queen is very different from what the rumors say." Su Yue said after bowing.

"Oh~ What is the emperor like in the rumors?" the queen asked with great interest.

Su Yue looked up at the queen with a serious face, "The rumored queen is not only beautiful and generous, but also a virtuous mother of the country. After seeing her like this today, I feel that the rumors are not true enough."

"Su Yue, what nonsense are you talking about, Queen, I don't know etiquette and I said things without thinking, please forgive me, Queen!"

When Zhou Ruoxue heard what Su Yue said, she felt overwhelmed. She felt that Su Yuanwang's official position was in danger.

And there was a great possibility that none of the three of them would be able to leave the palace in good health today, so she quickly stood up to interrupt Su Yue and apologize to the Queen.

Su Yao was extremely regretful at this moment. She had originally just wanted to drag Su Yue down with her to embarrass herself, but she had no idea that Su Yue was even more stupid than her and actually said such a thing.

The other ladies and daughters became even more determined not to have any contact with the daughter of the Su family in the future. It was really stupid. It was obvious that they were tired of the rich life and wanted to die.

The Queen frowned and looked at Zhou Ruoxue unhappily, "Madam Su, why is she so panicked? I am not going to punish Miss Su. Miss Su, please continue, why is the rumor about me not true enough?"

The queen was already a little angry. Today she wanted to see what the two daughters of Minister Su were trying to do. One dared to challenge her and wanted to be the queen, while the other said that she was not a good queen.

At this time, Wang Qiaoya felt her legs had gone weak and her neck felt cold.

"Rou'er, what should we do? How come Su Yue is even crazier than Su Yao? Can you just say something like that?"

Su Rou, whose face was equally pale, had cold sweat on her palms. She had no idea what to do at this moment. If she had known, she would have claimed to be sick and not come today, just like her grandmother did.

Su Yue was not in a hurry, and bowed again and said: "Reporting to the Queen, this is the first time I have seen the Queen. I was impressed by the Queen's elegance and motherly temperament from a distance.

Therefore, I feel that the rumors do not fully describe the Queen's demeanor. The Queen's dignity and demeanor far exceed those rumors."

Zhou Ruoxue's mother and daughter and Wang Qiaoya's mother and daughter all breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this. For the first time, they felt that Su Yue's eloquence was a good thing.

Nanny Yang and Rendong behind Su Yue also wiped cold sweat from their foreheads at the same time. They were scared to death.

After hearing what Su Yue said, the Queen's expression eased slightly: "Since Miss Su is so good at speaking, then you have to be even better at writing poetry."

Su Yue looked a little embarrassed. "Your Majesty, my family didn't hire a teacher for me. I learned a few words from the nanny who taught me since I was a child. Of course, I can write poems, but they are terrible. Your Majesty, just listen to them for fun."

Zhou Ruoxue's face immediately darkened. What did Su Yue mean by this? She actually said in front of the queen that she didn't ask the master to teach her.

Although it is true that there is nothing, you can't say it so carelessly. It would bring shame to the Su family.

All the ladies and daughters looked at each other in bewilderment when they heard this. A stepmother is a stepmother. She taught her daughter to be proficient in all the arts of music, chess, calligraphy and painting.

The legitimate daughter left by the original wife was not even given a teacher. Old Madam Su and Minister Su were really cruel.

Su Yao regretted it even more at this moment. If she had known that Su Yue was so heartless and eloquent, she would not have let Su Yue come out to write such crappy poems and make her mother lose face.

The Queen looked at Su Yue with a gentle smile in her eyes, "Miss Su said so. I would like to hear about this fun. If I think it's good, I will reward you."

"Then my daughter will show her disgrace."

Su Yue took a deep breath and chanted slowly: "Hundreds of flowers are blooming in Fengxiang Palace, and the flowers are competing for beauty, which is dazzling. It is useless to bloom for a short time, and the king of flowers, the peony, is the leader."

After hearing this, the Queen nodded in satisfaction: "Miss Su's poem has a clear meaning and is quite interesting. Not bad."

Su Yao bit her lip and secretly envied: "Su Yue is so lucky. Such a crude poem can catch the queen's eye."

Zhou Ruoxue was extremely shocked in her heart: How could this girl Su Yue write poetry? Although it was a bit straightforward, it was indeed a poem.

Could it be that Nanny Yang taught her this? I really underestimated Nanny Yang before. I should have kicked her out of the house.

Wang Qiaoya and her daughter looked at each other, both with confusion in their eyes: Is Su Yue really talentless or is she just pretending?

The other ladies and daughters also had their own thoughts. Some thought that Su Yue was just lucky to satisfy the Queen because the poem was quite appropriate and also flattered the Queen indirectly.

Others felt that Su Yue might still have some potential. She could write poems like this without a teacher's instruction. If she had a teacher's instruction, she would surely be able to write even more amazing poems.

The Queen then said, "Next one, go ahead."

Next, the other daughters presented their poems in turn. Some were gorgeous and beautiful, some were fresh and elegant, each with its own merits.

When everyone had finished presenting, the queen smiled and said, "All the poems written by the ladies are good, and you will all be rewarded."

As soon as the queen finished speaking, several palace maids came over with trays covered with red cloth. The head nanny lifted the red cloth to reveal all kinds of exquisite jewelry on it.

The Queen pointed to the tray and said, "Each of you ladies, please choose one that you like."

The daughters thanked her and went forward to choose. Su Yao chose an exquisite gold hairpin, while Su Yue chose a larger jade pendant because her space liked it.

The banquet continued and everyone began to taste the delicious food and chat with each other.

Su Yao held her breath, thinking about regaining the limelight in the next session. Su Yue seemed much calmer, sitting quietly beside her, eating and admiring the pear blossoms.
