Chapter 25: Compete and show your talents

Facing everyone's curious or gloating eyes, Mu Qingyue got up gracefully and looked at the queen with a calm face.

"The queen mother, the courtiers have no talent to show."

When the queen heard this, although she was a little disappointed that she couldn't see her perform, she didn't force it.

But Concubine Xi suddenly said loudly: "No talent? How could this be? You are a woman from the Prime Minister's family, your two younger sisters, each with many talents, how can you not have talent? ”

When Mu Qingyue heard this, she secretly sneered in her heart, is it the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion to be talented?

Is seeing a doctor considered a talent?

Is martial arts a talent?

Is being good at fighting a talent?

"Concubine Xi, the courtier's daughter left the Prime Minister's Mansion five years ago and went to the countryside, naturally she is not as versatile as the two younger sisters who grew up in the mansion!" Mu Qingyue said slowly.

When she said this, she immediately blocked Concubine Xi and made her speechless.

After a few seconds of silence, Concubine Xi still spoke again: "Before you left the Prime Minister's Mansion, you always learned talents, right?" ”

Mu Qingyue raised her delicate eyebrows slightly, and thought to herself, why did she think that this Concubine Xi was always targeting her?

She is not familiar with Concubine Xi, and she has not done anything unfavorable to Concubine Xi, why did Concubine Xi target her like this?

Mu Qingyue thought secretly, her eyes fell on the queen, she thought she understood why Concubine Xi was targeting her.

I guess I can't get along with the queen.

The queen seems to be very kind to herself, so Concubine Xi naturally wants to go against the queen.

After thinking about it, Mu Qingyue sighed speechlessly, the two of them were against each other, what did it matter to her?

"Concubine Xi, in the past five years that the courtiers have been away, I have been fortunate to follow a master and learn some martial arts, I don't know if this is considered a talent?"

Concubine Xi was stunned, and looked at her with a little disgust: "What kind of talent is this!" As a woman, the most important thing to learn is piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, female red embroidery, who will learn to dance knives and guns! ”

"Then the courtiers have no talent to show." Mu Qingyue said with a smile.

Concubine Xi opened her mouth and was speechless again.

However, the queen smiled and said: "Knowing martial arts is also a kind of talent, Qingyue might as well show you one or two." ”

When Mu Qingyue heard this, she was speechless and choked, why didn't she escape the talent show?

The queen has spoken, and she can't refuse the queen too directly, otherwise, it will be against the queen.

In desperation, Mu Qingyue had to stand up and walk out of her seat.

"Queen Mother, the courtiers perform a sword dance for everyone, but the courtiers don't have a sword."

When the queen heard this, she immediately ordered someone to find a sword.

After a while, a little eunuch came to Mu Qingyue with a sword.

Mu Qingyue took the sword and slowly pulled it out, the sword slowly came out of its sheath, and suddenly there was a cold light.

"Good sword!" She couldn't help but admire.

"This is the finest sword made of dark iron." The queen said with a smile.

Mu Qingyue looked at this sword with appreciation, and it could be seen that she liked this sword very much.

Once the sword was unsheathed, she began to perform for everyone.

Different from the dances performed by other women, the sword dance performed by Mu Qingyue is resolute but does not lose the gentleness of a woman, but it is gentle and masculine.

For a while, everyone was a little stunned.

Even Xia Houlin and the others watched intently, with a look of appreciation in their eyes.

Feng Jinye, who had never made a sound in the seat, looked at Mu Qingyue with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and there was a smile in his deep eyes.

The face that was usually pale as paper seemed to have regained a little blood.

He was not familiar with this Miss Mu, and he had only heard of it from him.

But when he saw him yesterday and today, he felt that this Miss Mu seemed to be very different from the rumors.

It made him quite appreciative.

Everyone else watched intently, and Mu Qingyue was also quietly paying attention to the others.

Suddenly, I saw her jump up on the spot, her body suddenly moved forward, and the sword in her hand struck quickly, and it was going straight in the direction of Chu.

Chu Shi was stunned for a moment, especially when she looked at Shang Mu Qingyue's cold and sharp eyes, she couldn't help but shudder, and her eyes showed horror.

The rest of the people were also taken aback, and they all gasped, for fear that Mu Qingyue would really stab the Chu clan.

Mu Hanyan grabbed Chu's arm even more, and looked at Mu Qingyue in the same stunned.

Seeing this, Mu Qingyue smiled sarcastically at the corner of her lips, and then saw that her body turned flexibly, and the tip of the sword was about an inch away from the Chu clan, and suddenly turned around.

The Chu family, who escaped the catastrophe, finally let go of the hanging heart, but it still looked like he had palpitations, and his heart was full of dissatisfaction with Mu Qingyue.

She knew that Mu Qingyue must have done it on purpose!

Deliberately scare her and want to see her make a fool of herself!

Thinking of this, Chu looked at Mu Qingyue's eyes, and a trace of hatred suddenly appeared.

However, Mu Qingyue didn't pay attention to her, but simply put the sword into the sheath.

With her hands clenched into fists, she said to the queen: "Queen Mother, the courtiers have finished performing." ”

As she spoke, she raised her sword with both hands and waited for the little eunuch to come and retrieve it.

"Well done! There has to be a reward! The queen smiled and said, "The sword in your hand will be rewarded to you!" ”

Mu Qingyue was a little surprised when she heard this, and subconsciously raised her eyes to look at the queen.

Immediately, she hurriedly lowered her head and said sincerely: "Thank you for the reward!" ”

She did like the sword very much, and the queen would give it to her, which she had not expected.

After receiving the reward, Mu Qingyue was about to go back to her seat, but suddenly heard Xia Houlin speak.

"Miss Mu's martial arts performance is really an eye-opener for me, I really want to learn from Miss Mu!"

Xia Houlin's words made everyone, including Mu Qingyue, a little surprised.

Everyone turned their eyes to him.

Mu Qingyue looked at him calmly, thinking in her heart, Xiahou Lin wanted to learn from her?

Now?

However, she could also see that Xia Houlin's words had no other intentions, just a literal meaning.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, how dare the courtiers fight with you? Aren't you tormenting your courtiers? ”

Xiahou Lin didn't force her, with an easy-going and warm smile on her face: "Today is the queen mother's banquet, so naturally I won't discuss with you." He really wants to learn from Miss Mu. ”

Mu Qingyue was not a hypocritical person, so she immediately replied: "That courtier is better than obeying her fate." ”

The interaction between the two made other officials and women greedy.

The purpose of everyone entering the palace for the banquet today is to compete for the position of the crown princess.

Now, none of them have been able to get into the eyes of His Royal Highness the Prince, but Mu Qingyue has been appreciated by His Royal Highness the Prince.

Doesn't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince know that Mu Qingyue is already a mother?

What qualifications does she have to be favored by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?

At that moment, everyone's eyes looking at Mu Qingyue were filled with all kinds of complex emotions.

There is envy, envy, and resentment.

Mu Qingyue turned a blind eye and ignored the reactions of others.

With her sword in hand, she walked back to her seat and sat down.

As soon as she sat down, Mu Yunlan leaned over and whispered, "Sister Hall, that martial art you just now really opened my eyes!" ”

"Are you learning from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" Mu Qingyue teased with a smile.

Mu Yunlan was stunned for a moment, and then realized that what she said was not much different from what the prince had just said.

Feeling Mu Hanyan sitting in front of her, she seemed to be paying attention to what they were saying, and Mu Yunlan quickly came back to her senses.

The lobby sister laughed, but the lobby sister's performance was really exciting! It's so bad that I want to learn two tricks from you. ”

Mu Qingyue saw her envious expression, thought for a while and said, "I'll teach you a few tricks when I'm free." ”

"That's great! Thank you, Sister Lobby! Mu Yunlan said happily.

Mu Qingyue raised her lips and smiled, but did not say anything more.

After two quarters of an hour, the lively banquet was declared over.

After the banquet, the queen asked everyone to walk around the imperial garden with her.

Everyone expressed their honor and naturally would not refuse.

Mu Qingyue also followed the team, but she deliberately walked at the back.

She didn't have the heart to fight for the position of the crown princess, so why did she take the lead bravely?

Others didn't care about her, and everyone was scrambling to get close to the queen and the prince.

After following everyone forward for a while, Mu Qingyue suddenly heard a low voice in her ears.

"Miss Mu seems to be a little bored, don't you think this banquet is very boring?"

Hearing the voice, Mu Qingyue turned her head to look, and what she saw was a face, which was angular and handsome, but revealing a sickly pale face.

"Feng Gongzi." She was slightly stunned, and hurriedly greeted the other party, "Isn't Feng Gongzi also bored?" Otherwise, how can we be at the back of this? ”

Feng Jinye raised her lips and smiled, and looked at the large army in front of her: "I was really guessed by Miss Mu, I have never liked this kind of lively scene." ”

"Coincidentally, so did I." Mu Qingyue said, the corners of her ruddy lips were filled with a smile as clear as a green lotus.

Feng Jinye was stunned for a moment, but regained his composure in an instant, and said in a low voice: "Since you and I are bored, why don't we leave quietly together?" ”

"Great idea!" Mu Qingyue nodded heavily.

Both of them looked ahead and saw that no one was noticing them, so they deliberately slowed down.

Looking back at the palace maid who was following behind, Mu Qingyue said: "Feng Gongzi's body is suddenly uncomfortable, but I don't want to disturb the interest of the queen mother's viewing, so I will send Feng Gongzi out of the palace first, if someone asks, you will answer like this." I see? ”

"The slave understands, Miss Mu, please rest assured."

"Good." Mu Qingyue nodded, and turned to look at Feng Jinye, "Feng Gongzi, I'll send you out of the palace and back home." Can you still hold on? ”

While speaking, she supported Feng Jinye, who was deliberately pretending to be sick, walked out of the team, and quietly walked towards the road out of the palace.
