(Xiaobaiwen, a place for storing brains.)
The text is as follows:
"Greetings to Her Majesty the Queen, may Her Majesty be healthy and happy."
Jiang Yueyang stood among the noble ladies and knelt down to pay her respects to the Queen of Daxia.
This was her first time going out and her first time entering the palace since coming to this fictional world.
In his previous life, Jiang Yueyang, a social animal, died of a sudden cerebral infarction due to working overtime late at night. On his deathbed, he bound himself to a melon-eating system and was transported to the Great Xia Dynasty, which did not exist in history.
She became the legitimate daughter of the Minister of Revenue.
After living a new life, she decided to give up completely and never roll again.
"No need for formalities." The Queen raised her jade hand gently.
"Thank you, Queen."
The noble ladies knelt down and took their seats, and Jiang Yueyang also sat down in her seat.
"I just heard that the princess invited young ladies from all families to the palace to enjoy the flowers. I have nothing to do so I came to join in the fun. Everyone, please don't be too reserved."
"Yes." The noble ladies all stood up and knelt down in response.
Jiang Yueyang was slow to react and stood up, muttering softly, "It's so tiring to enter the palace."
She couldn't count how many times she had to curtsy.
"Mother, we are just about to write a poem on the theme of peony. Since you want to join in the fun, you have to come up with a prize." The eldest princess said in a tender voice, holding the queen's hand.
"You!" The Queen tapped the eldest princess's forehead lovingly, "It's just a prize, but you still have to ask for it from mother."
The eldest princess chuckled.
This flower-viewing banquet in the name of the princess, in which noble ladies from various families were invited to the palace, was actually a banquet where the empress wanted to select a princess for the prince.
Then, the Queen raised her hand and took off the phoenix hairpin on her head, and said with a gentle smile: "Whoever wins first place today can get this phoenix hairpin in my hand."
The noble ladies were delighted, as they all knew that this was not an ordinary flower-viewing banquet. Obtaining the phoenix hairpin from the Queen was equivalent to having the qualification to be selected as the Crown Princess.
The palace maids presented writing brushes, ink, paper and inkstone to the noble ladies present, and there was also a copy on Jiang Yueyang's desk.
She looked at the writing brush and the peonies in full bloom in the garden, and suddenly felt a headache. Although she had read a lot of books in her previous life, she had long forgotten most of the knowledge she had learned.
I have been busy all my life and have no interest in learning.
Jiang Yueyang glanced around at the noble lady who had already started writing, and wailed with despair, [Ah...]
The noble ladies' hands trembled, and their beautiful handwriting became disfigured in an instant.
Who is calling?
The Queen Mother glanced suspiciously at the group of noble ladies below, and seeing that they all pursed their lips and kept silent, she suspected that she had heard wrongly.
Just as she was about to pick up a bunch of grapes to eat, the voice rang out again.
[Xiaogua, please help me think of some ancient poems about peonies.]
The system said helplessly: [Host, I am a melon-eating system, I don’t have that kind of knowledge. ]
Upon hearing the sound, the Queen looked around for its source, and the noble ladies did the same.
But they looked around and didn't see anyone opening their mouth to speak, and they couldn't help feeling panic, wondering if they had a strange disease that caused them to hear auditory hallucinations?
This must not be known to anyone, otherwise I won’t be able to become the Crown Princess!
So, everyone present remained silent, crumpled up the paper in front of them and started writing again.
Jiang Yueyang sighed, "Then tell me a story to relieve my headache and see if I can think of a poem."
The system chuckled, "Do you see the girl sitting opposite you? She is the granddaughter of the Minister of Rites. She has always been gentle, dignified, and well-educated. But in private, she is actually a violent female demon who often beats the maids until they are covered in bruises."
Jiang Yueyang looked at Lin Wan'er, the granddaughter of the Minister of Rites, in surprise. [No way? So cruel? I heard from my mother that the Queen intends to choose her as the Crown Princess. Can such a person be the mother of the country? ]
Jiang Yueyang's voice was loud and clear, reaching the ears of the Queen of Daxia, and also reaching the ears of everyone present.
Some were confused, some were secretly happy.
They already knew that they were not hallucinating, but were hearing the inner voice of the girl sitting opposite Lin Wan'er.
Judging from the Queen Mother’s reaction, she must have heard it as well.
Lin Wan'er's reputation for being gentle and virtuous is the biggest obstacle in their competition for the position of Crown Princess.
Regardless of whether what the girl and the man named Xiaogua said was true or false, Lin Wan'er's good impression on the Queen Mother was greatly reduced.
It is better to believe it exists than to believe it does not.
Lin Wan'er's face was pale, and the hand holding the brush was shaking. Facing the strange looks from everyone present, she almost had a fit on the spot.
Fortunately, she calmed down in time, and after calming down, she stood up to explain, "Your Majesty, your servant..."
"Miss Lin doesn't look well." The Queen interrupted her with a smile, "I think she is not feeling well. Someone, send Miss Lin back to the palace to rest."
All those present were young ladies from official families who were well versed in the art of language in the imperial harem. The Queen's words undoubtedly announced that Lin Wan'er's journey to become the Crown Princess had come to an end.
Jiang Yueyang was the only one confused, as she had no idea that her thoughts had been overheard. How could she be sent back suddenly?
Lin Wan'er was asked to leave by the palace maid, and before leaving she glared at Jiang Yueyang fiercely.
Jiang Yueyang: [??? I didn't provoke her, why is she glaring at me? She really has a bad temper.]
[I definitely have a bad temper, my melons are real. 】
Jiang Yueyang turned her head away inadvertently, [Huh? Why are they all looking at me? Is there something on my face? ]
Hearing this, everyone present withdrew their gazes in embarrassment.
The princess was about to ask her how she knew that Lin Wan'er had beaten the maid in private, but was stopped in time by the queen.
The Queen cleared her throat and asked, "How are the girls' peony poems going?"
