Now that the queen had spoken, the noble ladies who had no extra thoughts kept a low profile, and those present who had some wishes for Princess An and the side concubine came on stage one by one.

They are all girls who are like flowers, at their young age, with the unique youthful beauty of the girl's family. In addition, most of them are carefully cultivated by the family. The Supreme Emperor also nodded repeatedly and smiled with his beard.

Seeing the Taishanghuang's reaction, the mothers of the noble daughters who performed on the stage also had smiles in their eyes, and they looked at each other in relief with their daughters who had just left the stage after the performance, and everything was silent.

However, compared to other elegant and ladylike performances, there seemed to be a few noble ladies on the stage who did not follow the usual style.

There are sword dances, which is okay, even compared to other talents shown before, this sword dance combines strength and softness, which is refreshing.However, since the sword dance, it has been out of control. Some perform boxing, sword, whip...

Looking at the girl in front of her who was waving a long whip tightly, the corners of the Empress's mouth twitched, she always felt that the scene in front of her was somewhat familiar.The queen couldn't help turning her head to look at An Rou, and she saw Lin Daiyu watching with gusto, as if she wanted to have a try, and then looked at her daughter, it was okay, the empress was very pleased, her own An Rou is still so gentle and virtuous, delicate and lovely.

However, when did it become popular for noble girls to learn martial arts in the capital?It has also been shown in the palace, looking at the proficiency of these noble ladies, some of them are not able to hold their feet temporarily, especially this whip method, although the queen does not learn martial arts, it is not that she has no eyesight at all, this whip must be practiced for at least a year and a half To get to this point...

This noble lady was already dripping with sweat after dancing the whip. She drew back her whip and saluted the lord. Her movements were handsome and neat, which attracted the Empress Dowager to take a few extra glances. Thinking of her grandson's hobbies, she couldn't help turning her head to look at his grandson. In response, Nai He Tu Huai Shen had no expression on his face, it was really hard to see whether he was satisfied or not.The Supreme Emperor looked at the girl in the middle of the field again, and said with a smile, "As expected of General Zhou's beloved daughter, a tiger father has no dog daughter! When did you start practicing this whip technique?"

Seeing the Supreme Emperor's inquiries, Zhou Lanru was not stage frightened at all, and smiled openly, "Minister girls have learned how to whip since they were nine years old, and they work hard every day. Asking yourself is considered a small accomplishment." Speaking of this, Zhou Lanru had clear eyes, confident and Proud, but not annoying, but frank and natural.

"Not bad, not bad." The Supreme Emperor smiled more kindly, "As a woman, it is not easy to persevere like this. Thank you."

The Supreme Emperor obviously looked at Zhou Lanru differently, and the eyes of some cautious ladies on the court looked at Zhou Lanru could not help but change.However, Zhou Lanru didn't seem to care about these eyes. Instead, she took a special look at Princess An Rou when she was leaving the stage, and directly met Lin Daiyu's eyes.

Seeing that Lin Daiyu noticed her gaze, Zhou Lanru smiled proudly and walked to her seat with her head held high.

Lin Daiyu: ...

Lin Daiyu was a little baffled. The look in Zhou Lanru's eyes just now always felt full of challenges, and Lin Daiyu was also a little ready to move.

Daiyu has no impression of Zhou Lanru, but Zhou Lanru has a deep impression of Lin Daiyu. Zhou Lanru was born in a family of generals. She loved to dance with swords since she was a child, but her mother insisted on raising her to be a lady. Zhou Lanru has no interest in this. It's a pity I can't beat my mother, so I have to learn to be a lady.

When the princess was selected as a companion, she was also among them, and she performed the piano skill in a satisfactory manner, but she didn't expect someone to perform boxing skills behind her. ..

Lin Daiyu still doesn't know what impact she had on Zhou Lanru's outlook on life when she was still young. At this time, the noble ladies have finished their performances one after another. Yingchun didn't play, but Tanchun went up to write a calligraphy, which made many ladies present He looked at it and nodded secretly.

The bustling talent show ended, it was getting late, and the palace banquet officially began.

Daiyu followed Princess An Rou to the table, she never liked these occasions, she said it was a palace banquet, but she hardly had enough to eat on such occasions, but because she was used to it, she behaved quite decently even though she was impatient.After eating without taste, the queen took some ladies to visit the garden, and the noble ladies also gathered together in twos and threes. Because the Supreme Emperor and the emperor had left, and Prince An was missing, the noble ladies relaxed some.

Lin Daiyu was with Anrou and Baochai were sitting by the waterside pavilion to enjoy the scenery, but she heard an exclamation from the side, she probably knew it was in the palace, she didn't dare to make a fuss, she immediately lowered her voice, but Daiyu still heard it, turned her head to look It turned out that a girl's dress was stained with tea, and the little maid serving the tea seemed to be very apologetic, bowing down and apologizing non-stop.

Shi Shuyue was very annoyed. This skirt was specially made for this palace banquet. It was made of high-quality cloud silk brocade, embroidered with pink and blue bamboo leaf patterns, and covered with a layer of gauze as thin as cicada's wings. She looked dignified and girlish, but she was in the palace at this time, with so many eyes staring at her, no matter how annoyed she was, she had to behave decently.

For the Shi family, which is currently supporting the dignity of the family, the return of grandson Prince An undoubtedly gave them a glimmer of hope to regain their glory.However, Prince An himself does not seem to be close to the Shi family. In other words, although Prince An treats the current helm of the Shi family and his uncle with courtesy, there is still a lot of intimacy that the Shi family hopes for.Before Shi Shuyue entered the palace today, she was told by her elders thousands of times that she must seize this opportunity and perform well.

So she managed to suppress her anger, showed a calm smile, and said generously, "It's okay, as long as you must be careful in the future, if you stain the dresses of other sisters, I will definitely not forgive you .”

Hearing her words, some girls sneered, but the little palace maid looked extremely grateful and thanked her repeatedly.A palace lady in pink who was serving at the side stepped forward, "Miss Shi, why don't you go wash up first."

Naturally, Shi Shuyue couldn't wander around the palace with tea stains, it would be impolite.So he agreed to the proposal of the maid in pink, and let the little maid take her to change clothes.

Shi Shuyue left temporarily, and this little episode was over. Not many people in the water pavilion cared about it, and the matter seemed to pass like this.

At this moment, Zhou Lanru walked up to Princess Anrou, bowed to Princess Anrou, then turned her gaze to Daiyu, glanced at her and then turned to Anrou, "Your Highness, can Miss Lin accompany my daughter?" Walk around the palace."

An Rou looked at Zhou Lanru suspiciously, then turned her head to look at Daiyu, wanting to hear what she meant.

Lin Daiyu and Zhou Lanru looked at each other. For a moment, An Rou seemed to see crackling sparks. An Rou blinked, but saw Lin Daiyu smiling at her and nodding.

Seeing Daiyu nodding, An Rou didn't stop her anymore, so Zhou Lanru took Daiyu away from the waterside pavilion temporarily.

As for why Zhou Lanru took Lin Daiyu away alone, it was actually not a big deal, she just wanted to compete with Lin Daiyu seriously (hey!).

The straightforward girl Zhou Lanru dragged Daiyu along the path, seeing that there was no one around, she directly asked for a sparring session.

Lin Daiyu readily agreed. When Zhou Lanru was looking for her, as a warrior with her intuition, Daiyu vaguely guessed why she came. Daiyu was also very interested in this.

Afraid of being seen fighting in the palace and causing trouble, Lin Daiyu took Zhou Lanru all the way to a remote place, where no one usually comes here, and the venue is big, so it is just suitable for fighting, ah no, to learn from each other.

So these two people competed with each other in the Ouchi Imperial Palace.The process will not be described in detail, but the result is obvious. Although sister Lan Ru practiced hard since she was a child, she is also quite talented, but Lin Daiyu never slacks off. Besides, Lin Daiyu is born to cheat. Even though Zhou Lanru exhausted her means, she was still defeated by Daiyu up.

Zhou Lanru refused to accept, challenged again, and was defeated again.Fight again, lose again, fight again...Although Zhou Lanru is a pretty girl, Lin Daiyu didn't show mercy at all, and she shot cleanly. Seeing that Zhou Lanru wanted to come again, she leaned over and pushed Zhou Lanru down on the grass.

Zhou Lanru wanted to get up, but was tightly shackled by Lin Daiyu, pinned down and unable to move, Zhou Lanru's eyes were red, "Let go!"

Lin Daiyu was unmoved, and pointed out the facts sharply, "You have already lost. As a martial arts practitioner, don't you even have the measure to admit defeat?"

Tears finally filled Zhou Lanru's eyes, "What do you know! I...I worked so hard, why, why did I lose so easily?"

Seeing her crying, Lin Daiyu couldn't help but softened her heart, and comforted her softly, "Everyone loses, but this time, if you lose, you know your own shortcomings. Only by going back and practicing hard can you go further in martial arts. .”

Zhou Lanru reluctantly suppressed her tears, she never liked to cry, but for some reason today, Mo Ming felt a little wronged just now, and now she also felt that she was being unreasonable, so she was quite embarrassed and asked casually, "Have you ever lost before? "

Lin Daiyu was silent for a while, but still replied: "...No."

Zhou Lanru: ...You liar!

Zhou Lanru was about to speak, but Lin Daiyu seemed to have heard something, and suddenly covered Zhou Lanru's mouth, leaned over and whispered in her ear, "Don't make a sound." Seriously, for some reason, he obediently stopped, even breathing silently, not daring to make a sound.
