"Hey, what's on that picture?" Gu Yan was very happy in her heart, the provocative person failed miserably, which was pleasing to the heart. Gu Yan also saw something on the painting with sharp eyes that seemed to be swinging.

"It's a butterfly, it's really a butterfly." The crowd looked at each other and exclaimed.

"Where do butterflies come from at this time of year?"

"yes, how can there be butterflies?"

"It's really..."

During the discussion, the emperor above was full of curiosity and asked the general manager to present the painting. Ask the manager to hurry up and get the painting.

After the emperor saw it, he was happy, "Shang Aiqing, you have raised a good daughter." ”

Shang Rong was a little confused, with a constant smile on his face, he got up and knelt down, "The emperor has won the award." ”

"Let's show you." The emperor waved his hand and begged the chief to let the chamberlain take the paintings and circulate them one by one. The praise in the hall was endless, but Yao Die's face turned dark. The more everyone praises, the more embarrassed they are, and this is still self-inflicted, and there is no place to reason.

"Lord Yao's flute is also good." Concubine Xue spoke up at this time.

Everyone was surprised and looked at Concubine Xue.

Concubine Xue looked at the emperor, "Your Majesty, the concubine thinks it's very good that Lord Yao can play the 'Plum Blossom Lead' like this." ”

The emperor looked at Concubine Xue fixedly, as if he wanted to see her through, but Concubine Xue looked at the emperor so generously, and for a while, "Concubine Ai is right." ”

As soon as these words came out, there were also some compliments for Yao Die among the courtiers and relatives. Yao Die was overjoyed when she heard Concubine Xue's maintenance of herself, and then turned her head to look at Jing Mo, who was raising her glass and drinking, but didn't look at Yao Die, Yao Die couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

However, Concubine Xue's maintenance can make up for this disappointment.

Shang Liyuan knew the reason for Concubine Xue's voice after a little thought. Jing Mo's concern for Shang Liyuan is already a little uncontrollable, and Concubine Xue will not be willing to have such a daughter-in-law. This suppression may be thought to be useful by Concubine Xue, but for Shang Liyuan: Concubine Xue, you are happy.

Jing Yu is looking at Shang Liyuan, every time I see her, I feel different, such a girl like a treasure is really exciting... I can't help but want to get closer.

"Your Majesty, there are still a lot of daughters who haven't performed their talents." Chen Guifei reminded loudly.

"Well, the concubine will arrange it." The emperor was already a little lacking in interest at this time.

The daughters of the big families took turns to fight, and those who were good at it and those who were not good at it all performed. But with Shang Liyuan's dual skills in the front, the back is a little boring.

"It seems that the talent of the eldest lady of the Shang Mansion is the most outstanding." Chen Guifei glanced at Shang Liyuan with a smile on her face and then turned to the emperor, "What does the emperor think?" ”

"Hahahaha, what Concubine Ai said is extremely true."

"After all, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and Miss Shang is so talented and outstanding, why don't you be rewarded by the emperor?" Of course, Chen Guifei did not miss the emperor's attention to Shang Liyuan at the beginning, nor did she ignore Concubine Xue's difficulties to Shang Liyuan.

The enemy of the enemy is a friend, and the matter of elevating Shang Liyuan can not only make Concubine Xue ugly, but also make the emperor happy, why not? Besides, the Chen family still owes Shang Liyuan a favor.

"What do you think Concubine Ai should be rewarded?" The emperor looked at Chen Guifei with interest.

All the people in the hall were angry, watching the two people sitting on the high seat come and go.

"The concubine just didn't know before she asked the emperor." Chen Guifei glanced at the emperor coquettishly, and the smile on the emperor's face became even worse.

"Why don't you ask Miss Shang if she has anything she wants or wishes? Since it is a reward, it is natural that it must be the heart of the person who receives it. ”

The emperor waved his hand, "I love the concubine." ”

"Miss Shangfu." Chen Guifei looked at Shang Liyuan.

Shang Liyuan got up from her seat and walked to the center of the hall, and bowed, "The courtiers are here." ”

"Get up, you're doing very well today, I don't know what you want or want? This palace specially asked the emperor for this opportunity for you. Chen Guifei's kind appearance made everyone a little confused.

Chen Guifei is not such an amiable person.

Shang Liyuan thought silently in her heart, this Chen Guifei is afraid that she is returning the favor for the Chengguo Mansion, hey, forget it, since Chen Guifei has done this, she will follow this step.

"The courtiers do have something to ask for, and they ask the emperor to agree." Shang Liyuan said and saluted again.

"Say, since I said this, I will naturally agree." The Emperor took over.

"Please also ask the emperor to allow her courtiers to choose their marriage freely." After Shang Liyuan finished speaking, she kowtowed deeply to the emperor.

When everyone heard this, they were even more surprised and speechless, since ancient times, whose children and daughters are not decided by their parents? Is it crazy that the eldest lady of this merchant mansion wants to make her own decisions?

The emperor Chen Guifei, Xue Concubine and others were all looking at Shang Liyuan, and they were weighing Shang Liyuan's intentions in their hearts.

And the look in the eyes of the young concubine made Shang Liyuan a little uncomfortable, Nian concubine, Shang Liyuan can't remember what the ending of the young concubine in the previous life was, and what about Princess Fuhua? What happened to their mother and daughter, Shang Liyuan couldn't remember it at all, as if there was no trajectory of these two people living in her previous life.

This made Shang Liyuan pay special attention to the concubines and Fuhua. "This marriage has always been the words of the matchmaker at the behest of the parents, but Miss Shang has opened the eyes of the palace." Concubine Xue spoke bluntly.

Jing Mo heard Concubine Xue's words, raised his head and looked at Concubine Xue, Concubine Xue knew her mind, and today she did suppress her sweetheart again and again, which made Jing Mo feel a little unhappy in her heart.

The emperor also didn't understand Concubine Xue, when Concubine Xue came to mention the eldest lady of the Shang Mansion to herself, it was not like today, since she took a fancy to the eldest lady of the Shang Mansion, and now she has such an attitude, which is really disgusting.

As for Concubine Chen, when she heard Concubine Xue's words, she was even more convinced of her idea of elevating Shang Liyuan, firstly, for the last time Chengguo Mansion, and secondly, if Concubine Xue was not happy, she was happy.

When Qin heard Shang Liyuan's words, she was shocked and distressed at the same time, she had always known about her daughter's marriage, Shang Rong wanted this daughter to play the maximum role, and she had always acquiesced, does this also mean that Shang Liyuan was disappointed in her?

Everyone's reactions were different, but Shang Liyuan didn't have the heart to understand.

"Back to Concubine Xue, the courtiers know that the courtiers can't make their own decisions about the marriage of the courtiers, but this is the courtier's wish." Shang Liyuan said to Concubine Xue, "Today's fortunate emperor and the favor of the noble concubine can get the emperor's Chrysostom, if the courtiers now say that the courtiers have no wishes and wants, wouldn't it be a bully?" also lived up to the emperor and the concubine's intentions for the courtiers. ”

"Miss Shang's talent is outstanding, and her eloquence is also impressive." Concubine Xue just wanted to suppress Shang Liyuan before, so that she could handle it in the future; Now, Concubine Xue has dispelled the idea of Shang Liyuan becoming her daughter-in-law.

"It's the ministers who teach the daughter to have no way, and I ask the emperor to forgive the little girl's words." Shang Rong saw that Concubine Xue was in trouble, and Shang Liyuan's words made him unhappy, but he still got up and knelt next to Shang Liyuan to plead.
