Because it was just the two of them singing in front of Su Mengyan, there was no need to set up a stage, change clothes, put on makeup, etc. It was also a spur of the moment act, so they just sang dryly without even a musician.
However, the two of them had just begun to feel the joy of opera, and did not care about these external conditions at all. They just started singing in front of Su Mengyan and Situ Yao.
Even though the two of them studied for a short time, they were both very diligent and eager to learn, and coupled with the movements of the opera, they suddenly developed a unique style.
Although some aspects of the two people are not perfect, their basic skills are still good.
Every smile, every gesture, was perfectly executed, and Su Mengyan couldn't help but applaud. Actually, compared to real actors, they were still too young, but since they weren't real actors after all, Su Mengyan naturally didn't ask for too much.
Gradually, the opera ended and the two people fell silent. Su Mengyan smiled and said, "You two, your efforts have really not been in vain. In just a few days, you have achieved your current abilities. Great."
Her praise came from the heart, and the two people felt a little embarrassed when they heard it. They knew their own abilities in their hearts, but when someone praised them, they looked at each other and saw the light in each other's eyes.
"Yes, the Queen is right. I also think that these two little girls are good." At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded.
Everyone was shocked and looked at the person who came. It turned out to be the former empress dowager, now the grand empress dowager.
A group of people were busy paying their respects to the Grand Empress Dowager, even the pregnant Su Mengyan was not spared. Seeing Su Mengyan paying her respects to the Grand Empress Dowager with her big belly, Situ Yao felt a little uncomfortable. She was carrying my child in her belly, and the Grand Empress Dowager didn't even show any sympathy.
Unfortunately, the Empress Dowager had no idea what he was thinking. She didn't even notice Situ Yao's unhappy expression.
She sat down by herself and looked at Chu Meng and Yu Xiang with a smile. She knew Chu Meng, but she had never heard of Yu Xiang. However, seeing Yu Xiang dressed in the clothes of a palace maid, the Empress Dowager felt that she did not need to pay attention to this person at all, as she was just a palace maid.
Thinking of this, the Empress Dowager said, "This is Miss Chu Meng, she sings really well. Come, show us some bird's nest. This bird's nest is good for your health, especially for a young girl like you. Drink more."
Although her words sounded nice, Situ Yao was already somewhat unhappy because she asked Su Mengyan to salute him. When he heard this, he felt that she treated Chu Meng as an actor. You know, actors only get rewards if they sing well.
The Empress Dowager had no idea that her small action had actually made Situ Yao unhappy.
On the side, Chu Meng took the bird's nest and was a little flattered. Just because she had a good relationship with Su Mengyan, it didn't mean that the Empress Dowager also liked her. After looking at the situation, Chu Meng took the bird's nest, thanked the Empress Dowager, and said goodbye.
The Empress Dowager came here today just to see the baby in Su Mengyan's belly, so at this time, she didn't feel much about Chu Meng's departure.
"Oh, come on, let me see my dear grandson." After Chu Meng left, the Empress Dowager immediately said to Su Mengyan.
Su Mengyan resisted the urge to roll her eyes, thinking to herself, we don't even know whether the baby is a boy or a girl, and the Empress Dowager is calling her grandson. If the baby in her belly is a girl, who knows how the Empress Dowager will cry.
Although she was somewhat unhappy with what the Grand Empress Dowager said, Su Mengyan still walked to her side and let her look her up and down.
However, Su Mengyan didn't say anything, but that didn't mean Situ Yao wouldn't speak either. Situ Yao frowned and said to the Grand Empress Dowager, "Grandmother, the child hasn't been born yet!"
What I mean is, don’t call your grandson so early, or you’ll get slapped in the face.
However, the Grand Empress Dowager would not listen. Thinking of what she had heard, she stopped looking at Su Mengyan and turned to look at Situ Yao: "Your Majesty, I heard that things have not been going well for the Prime Minister recently."
Situ Yao didn't expect that the Empress Dowager would actually mention this matter. However, when she brought it up, Situ Yao just nodded and said that he would handle the matter well.
"The Prime Minister has been in the court for many years. Sometimes, you can't be too impulsive and you have to take it slow." The Empress Dowager advised.
After hearing this, Situ Yao suddenly felt that the Empress Dowager was not so annoying after all. After all, she was his grandmother, so Situ Yao naturally did not want to think too badly of her.
Just when Situ Yao was about to change his mind about the Grand Empress Dowager, he heard her say, "I can't control so many of these matters. Your Majesty, your mission now is to have more children and grandchildren so that I can have more great-grandchildren."
Su Mengyan and Situ Yao, who were standing by, felt a row of exclamation marks on their heads. They knew that there was no way the Empress Dowager would not induce labor. Even though Su Mengyan was already pregnant, this old woman still urged her to do it.
Compared to Su Mengyan's calmness, Situ Yao was a little impatient. He shouldn't have thought that the Empress Dowager was actually not bad. She was obviously disgusting.
In an instant, Situ Yao's face darkened, while the Grand Empress Dowager continued to advise: "Your kingdom is stable now. While you have nothing to do now, you should seize the time to expand your family, otherwise you will be too busy to do it later."
"Okay, Grandmother, I still have things to take care of, so I can't accompany you." Situ Yao could no longer bear it, but filial piety came first, so he couldn't lose his temper with the Grand Empress Dowager, so he had to leave with an excuse.
After he left, the Empress Dowager was still a little confused: "Why did you leave so soon? Why didn't you spend time with me, an old woman?"
Su Mengyan rolled her eyes quietly and thought to herself, if this wasn't my place, I would have wanted to leave. Who can stand your urging like this?
However, she was still very understanding and said to the Grand Empress Dowager with a smile: "Grandmother, the Emperor has just ascended the throne, so he naturally has a lot of things to do. It is better for him to work diligently for the people now."
After hearing Su Mengyan's words, the Empress Dowager no longer cared and immediately started chatting with Su Mengyan. Of course, most of her talk was about asking Su Mengyan to take good care of the baby in her belly, not to be jealous, and asking the emperor to visit other concubines more often to expand the royal family.
Su Mengyan was helpless, but she had to smile and say, "Yes, Grandmother, don't worry, I will take good care of myself."
Yes, take good care of yourself. As for the rest, such as having children and spreading out, that is not my business.
Unfortunately, the Empress Dowager only heard Su Mengyan say to take good care of herself, and did not think much about it, and left happily.
