After a while, the daughters who participated in the competition all arrived, and they got together to talk in twos and threes, only Ruoshui and Zilan, the two of them had special identities and no friends, so they sat alone and enjoyed the scenery indifferently.

It wasn't until everyone cheered that Ruoshui officially raised his eyes to see, it turned out that Qin Mubai led Yuqian here, too, such a large-scale competition was held by the palace, as a famous talent and talent in Cangyue Kingdom, she would indeed be invited to observe.

Seeing Qin Mubai throwing a gentle smile, Ruoshui also politely replied to him, and in a blink of an eye, he caught a glimpse of Yuqian with a jealous face, Ruoshui was speechless in his heart, but his face was angry and gave her a bright smile, anyway, he was offended, and he didn't expect her to give him a good face.

Sure enough, Yuqian's face sank a little, and she regarded Ruoshui's smile at her as a provocation, and snorted coldly in her heart, she really thought that she was going to be a princess, and since she dared to provoke her now.

And Ruoshui rarely paid attention to her thoughts, just staring at her so simply, gently, and brightly smiling.

"The emperor has arrived, the queen mother has arrived, and the queen mother has arrived."

The eunuch shouted, and the imperial garden was suddenly silent, and they all looked at the source of the sound, and saw a man in a bright yellow dragon robe holding a woman in a red palace dress walking in front, needless to say, it must be the emperor Mo Tian and the queen Qin Mulian, and followed by a middle-aged woman and an old lady, the middle-aged lady was dressed in a gorgeous palace dress, wearing a cumbersome hairpin, no need to guess that it must be the queen mother, and the old lady, of course, is the old lady Qian of the Taishi Mansion, and then behind, there are several palace women, There is a person who is about the same age as the Queen Mother, who must be the only concubine in the palace, that is, the concubine of Mrs. Lan Xuezhi, the concubine Lan Taigui, and the rest should be concubines and princesses.

Seeing them approaching, all the daughters knelt down on the ground and shouted Long live the emperor, the queen mother, the queen thousand years old, there was no way, there were too many people, only the three big ones worshipped.

After the man in the bright yellow dragon robe sat down in the top position, he let everyone get up.

Ruoshui secretly glanced up when he got up, and I have to say that this emperor is really handsome, in his twenties, tall and thin, with pure white skin like jade, upright and cold facial features, all of which are majestic.

"I don't know which one is the girl Ruoshui?"

Hearing the mention of his name, Ruoshui was stunned and quickly stood out, kneeling down to the middle-aged palace woman.

"The people's daughter is warm and watery, meet the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother is a thousand years old."

Although she is the girl next to the old lady, she has not signed a deed of sale, that is, she has not been naturalized, and she is considered a free person, so she does not need to call herself a slave, and it is also for this reason that the old lady can be more confident to let her come to the competition.

"Yo, she's really a good girl who knows how to read and etiquette, hurry up."

"Empress Dowager Xie"

The Queen Mother's voice was gentle and kind, and Ruoshui got up very calmly.

"Raise your head and mourn the house."

Ruoshui paused, pretending to be frightened.

"The people's daughter is mediocre, and she doesn't dare to offend the Queen Mother."

"Hehehehe" The Queen Mother laughed heartily.

"It's really a well-behaved girl, it doesn't matter, I haven't seen any kind of person in the mourning family, just raise your head."

"Yes, Ruoshui, raise your head and let the Queen Mother take a good look." The old lady also said earnestly on the side.

Ruoshui had to slowly raise his head, glanced at the Queen Mother and quickly lowered his eyes, his face was suddenly dyed with a shy flush, the corners of his mouth curled up with a slight smile, standing there and letting him look, although he was looking at the ground, he could also feel that the hot eyes above were scanning her, and his heart was very awkward.

I listened to the Queen Mother's appreciative self-talk.

"Hmm~, indeed people are as their name suggests, gentle and demure, like still water, with such wonderful people, the old lady is so blessed."

"Hehehe, the Queen Mother smiled, smiled, hehehe"

The old lady said with a smile in her mouth, but her face was undisguised and proud, seeing this, Ruoshui secretly pursed her lips in her heart.

"By the way, have you invited the Nine Princes?"

The big eunuch behind him hurriedly sneered with some embarrassment.

"Back to the Queen Mother, I've already been invited, the Ninth Lord is busy, I'll come back later." In fact, he was playing chess with Yun Yi Gongzi, but he didn't dare to say it.

For this son who is not biological but knows him very well, how could the queen mother not know that this is an excuse, her face is slightly unpleasant, and Mo Tian hurriedly eased up.

"Queen Mother, don't you know what kind of character the ninth brother is, let's leave him alone, he will come over when he is done, for now, let's ask the Queen Mother to preside over the competition."

"Yes, Queen Mother." The queen also smiled and agreed.

The Queen Mother sighed helplessly, then nodded and said to the eunuch.

"Wait a minute, it's rare for the old lady to enter the palace for more than ten years, not to mention that he still has kindness to his mother, so he can't be rude."

"Yes, the minion made a note of it."

The eunuch nodded again and again, but he was bitter in his heart, every time he invited the Nine Princes on an errand, it was the most difficult to do.

The old lady is also very good at observing words and feelings, although she feels a little lost, but she rarely smiles generously.

"It's okay, it's okay, they young people are busy with young people's affairs, let's not rush him, don't rush him."

"Hehe, this is the old lady's generosity." The Queen Mother smiled and praised the old lady, and when she turned around, she found Ruoshui who was still standing, and hurriedly spoke.

"Ruoshui girl, go down and sit down, adjust your state, the mourning family is still waiting to hear your piano."

Ruoshui Ru was pardoned, and finally found that there was such a person as her, standing motionless like a wood, it was really not ordinary uncomfortable, and immediately leaned over and thanked the Queen Mother and walked straight to the seat, meeting a pair of eyes like knives and arrows, these just a few steps, but she seemed to have walked for a century, really innocent and helpless.

After sitting down, I found that why those people above also looked at her with such hostile eyes, it must be a concubine, look at the queen mother praising her, afraid that she will be elected to the emperor, she is really a hateful life, she was not interested in being the emperor's woman at all, then it is better to marry the ninth prince, at least be free, and will not be locked up in one place, but looking at those daughters, there are many who are secretly aiming at the top, for them, it is estimated that whether it is the prince or the emperor, it is good to marry anyone, I didn't miss the slightest opportunity to flatter, but unfortunately, the emperor was chatting with the old lady with the queen mother, and he didn't look down at all.

Looking at these women, Ruoshui only felt sad, so he lowered his eyes and stopped looking at them.

Subsequently, with the order of the Queen Mother, the talent competition officially kicked off.
