Meanwhile, on this side...
Upon hearing this, the Empress's smile deepened.
She had been hoping that Ye Qingcheng would accept Ye Qingyao's challenge, so she deliberately said that to provoke Ye Qingcheng into accepting.
Ye Qingcheng's agreement at that moment was exactly what she wanted.
She smiled and nodded slightly.
"Very well, Princess Consort Han, you truly are worthy of being my royal daughter-in-law. In that case, Crown Prince's concubine, what would you like to compete in?"
"Your Majesty, since this round is a competition of musical instruments, I will compete with Princess Han in the art of playing the zither!"
"Playing the piano?"
"Princess Consort Han, do you know how?"
Ye Qingcheng was speechless after hearing this and rolled her eyes.
Ye Qingyao, Ye Qingyao, since you're asking for trouble, then I won't tolerate it anymore.
Although I don't understand the world's musical realm, I can roughly understand it from the playing of those women.
You want to compete with me in playing the piano? That's just asking for trouble.
I've won several Oscars in the global piano competition world.
"I have learned a little bit, though I am not proficient and cannot compare to the Crown Prince's concubine. But since I have already agreed, I cannot spoil everyone's fun, so I am willing to give it a try."
"A beauty that could topple empires..."
Princess Wenning frowned slightly when she saw Ye Qingcheng agree, and called out to her with great concern.
Ye Qingcheng looked at her, shook her head, and gave her a reassuring smile.
Meanwhile, on this side...
The Empress smiled with delight and nodded with satisfaction: "Very well, if that's the case, then you may begin! Who wants to go first?"
"Your Majesty, Princess Han is my younger sister. As the elder sister, I should defer to my younger sister. So, Princess Han, please go first!"
"Hmm! Princess Consort Han, what do you think?"
"There is no kinship on the field of competition, and besides, my daughter-in-law has long severed ties with the Duke's mansion, and all her family members are dead."
"So, Crown Prince's concubine, you mustn't try to claim kinship with anyone."
"you…"
Upon hearing this, Ye Qingyao was filled with anger and wanted to rebuke Ye Qingcheng.
Pfft!
But Princess Wenning couldn't help but burst out laughing, interrupting her.
Ye Qingcheng glanced at Princess Wen Ning and gave her a mischievous smile.
However, Ye Qingcheng's words also caused the noble ladies present to whisper among themselves.
"Hey, did I hear that right? What did Princess Han just say? That she's severing ties with the Duke's Mansion?"
"Yes! That's right, that seems to be what she said."
"This... could it be true that Princess Han was expelled from the Duke's mansion?"
"It should be."
"Alas! To be honest, Princess Han is really pitiful. She is the legitimate daughter of the Duke's family, but after her mother died, she couldn't bear the shock and went insane. As a result, she was disliked by Prime Minister Ye and kicked out of the house. She is so pitiful."
"That's right, but thankfully, her current status as the Princess Consort of Han is much higher than that of the Ye family, and she doesn't care about the status of the eldest daughter of the Duke's family."
"Yeah yeah!"
"Hey, that's enough, that's enough. Stop gossiping. Don't anger the Crown Prince's concubine. Even though she's just a concubine, she's still the Crown Prince's favorite. Be careful, or she might hold you accountable."
After the man finished speaking, the noble ladies who had been gossiping all shut their mouths and dared not say anything more.
This way.
Ye Qingyao was already furious after hearing Ye Qingcheng's words, and now she heard the women's discussion.
His entire body was burning with uncontrollable rage, his face contorted with rage: "Ye Qingcheng, you bitch... how dare you curse my whole family?"
Ye Qingcheng smiled slightly: "Crown Prince's Consort, please watch your words. Did I not curse you? My only relative in this world is my mother. Since she is gone, then all my family members are dead, isn't that right?"
"You... are despicable..."
"Alright, Crown Prince's concubine, today is the Chrysanthemum Appreciation Banquet hosted by the Grand Duke, so stop making a scene."
"Your Majesty, Ye Qingcheng, she..."
"kindness?"
Before Ye Qingyao could finish speaking, the Empress glared at her fiercely.
Upon seeing this, Ye Qingyao immediately dared not say anything more.
However, she still glared fiercely at Ye Qingcheng.
Seeing that everyone had quieted down, the Empress looked at Ye Qingcheng and said, "Princess Consort Han, would you like to go first?"
Ye Qingcheng smiled and shook her head: "Since it was the Crown Prince's concubine who proposed the competition, then let her go first!"
"good."
"The Crown Prince's concubine."
"yes."
Ye Qingyao responded.
He then stepped out of his seat and walked towards the piano platform, whereupon he asked her to sit down.
However, at this time...
Ye Qingcheng suddenly called out, "Wait."
"You bastard... what do you want now?" Upon hearing this, Ye Qingyao stopped what she was doing and glared fiercely at Ye Qingcheng.
Ye Qingcheng smiled and said, "Since it's a competition, there has to be a prize, right?"
"The prize?"
"Shouldn't it be so?"
"Didn't Her Majesty the Empress and the Eldest Princess already prepare these prizes?"
"The Crown Prince's concubine has a clever plan. This is a competition between us, how can the Empress and the Princess be the ones to pay the prize?"
"Then what do you want?"
"Since this is a competition between you and me, the prize should naturally come from ourselves."
kindness?
Upon hearing this, Ye Qingyao paused for a moment, then, as if she had just thought of something, a smile appeared on her lips.
"Alright, you're right. I was inconsiderate. How about this? I don't want to make things difficult for you. If you lose, you'll kneel in front of our Duke's mansion for a whole day, how about that?"
"Sure, but what if you lose?"
"Lose? You lowly... Do you think this princess would lose?"
