Ni Yueshan stood stubbornly where she was, and said timidly, "I'm suddenly a little nervous and want to go to the bathroom. Can you give me some time? I'll be back soon."
Ni Yueshan was stage fright at this time and simply wanted to hide.
Jing Yu'e took Ni Yueshan's hand, patted the back of her hand, and comforted her: "Don't be afraid, the Empress Dowager has always been kind and benevolent, and writing a poem won't take up much time."
"That day at the poetry gathering, you composed a poem in the blink of an eye. I've given you so much time this time, I believe you can do the same."
Then she took Ni Yueshan's hand and asked Ni Yueshan to follow her.
Want to back down? No way!
Almost everyone at the banquet was present. The Imperial Noble Consort arrived, and the palace attendant announced loudly: "The Imperial Noble Consort has arrived—"
"The Princess has arrived—"
As the voice was drawn out, everyone present stood up and saluted, and naturally Ni Yueshan came into everyone's sight.
Ni Yueshan looked calm and did not retreat at all.
Since she can't leave and her appearance is destined, there's no need to hide it. After all, who doesn't know that she is ugly?
"Greetings to Her Majesty the Imperial Concubine."
"Meet Her Royal Highness the Princess."
When Ni Yueshuang saw Ni Yueshan following Jing Yu'e and the Imperial Noble Consort, a disdainful smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. It was Ni Yueshan who came to the palace banquet today in broad daylight, but maybe, from now on, it would be Ni Yueshan who would be depressed!
"Everyone, please get up quickly. I am not worthy of your great honor. Let's wait for the Emperor and the Queen Mother to arrive before we perform this ceremony."
"Yueshan, stay by my side and don't run around." Jing Yu'e looked at Ni Yueshan with interest. Because she had grabbed him too hard, Ni Yueshan felt some pain in her palm.
She stood behind Jing Yu'e. The Imperial Noble Consort sat in the second seat after the Queen. But just as she stood there, the eunuch announced that the Queen Mother, the Emperor, and the Queen had arrived.
Today's Queen Mother's birthday banquet was indeed extraordinary, and all the distinguished guests were present.
After the tedious formalities, everyone sat down again.
The Imperial Noble Consort couldn't wait to speak: "Empress Dowager, today is your birthday banquet. Although I change the pattern of embroidery as a birthday gift every year, I still can't escape the work of embroidery."
"This year is different. I have discovered a prodigy who can compose poetry with the snap of a finger. Her poetic talent is remarkable. Many people have witnessed this at the banquet at the Princess's residence."
She could write poems in the blink of an eye. The imperial concubine really flattered her and was not afraid of exaggerating.
It takes time for her to recall the poems. How can she do it in just a few seconds?
"Oh?" Sure enough, this gimmick attracted the empress dowager who had just sat down.
"Who has such ability?"
The Queen Mother had seen all kinds of rare treasures, and they were not surprising to her, but she had never seen anyone who could compose poetry with the snap of a finger.
Jing Yu'e stood up at this time: "Grandmother, this person is the daughter of the Prime Minister. She said today that she wants to use poetry to entertain you, Grandmother!"
Afterwards, Jing Yu'e looked at Ni Yueshan behind her, and her eyes were so friendly.
Ni Yueshan secretly complained in his heart, the king of showmanship!
Those glances cast at her really made her feel under great pressure and as if a thorn in her back was on her.
Ni Yueshan stepped forward politely and said, "This humble lady greets the Queen Mother. I wish you good fortune as vast as the East Sea and a long life as long as the Southern Mountains!"
Ni Gaofei widened his eyes. When did Ni Yueshan run behind the eldest princess? With so many people present, why was he trying to show off?
Ni Yueshuang was still standing behind Ni Yueshan's seat. She looked at Ni Yueshan with disdain, wondering how Ni Yueshan would manage to escape today. After all, she didn't believe that Ni Yueshan had any talent for poetry!
Last time, Ni Yueshan must have been cunning and prepared to plagiarize!
All the civil and military officials were seated together. Among the military generals, Zou Yangyao slowly tightened his grip on the wine glass when he saw Ni Yueshan. At the Princess's residence, Ni Yueshan had injured him, and he was still in pain. The doctor said that if she had been more cruel, he might have no descendants.
Ni Yueshan dared to show off at the palace banquet. I will not stop until I make Ni Yueshan lose some skin!
Jing Yuchen picked up the wine glass in front of him and glanced at Ni Yueshan with his evil eyes. This woman is controversial wherever she goes.
I don’t know how this time I will become the laughing stock of everyone in the capital after dinner, and they will discuss it with relish for a while.
"You're a sensible child. Stand up. Don't kneel down. Raise your head so I can have a good look at you."
Ni Yueshan lowered her head very low, so naturally the empress dowager had never seen her appearance clearly, but there were rumors about her, and I'm afraid that the empress dowager had heard some of them, and perhaps she had already felt disgusted with her.
