Qiao Jiaojiao thought about it carefully again and felt that she should be correct.

But the specific reason why Yu Zhaoyi was executed was not mentioned at all!

When Mrs. Qiao heard this, she couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart.

Such a lively and beautiful Concubine Yu, still smiling sweetly and looking very happy, who knew that her death had already come quietly...

After taking a look around, Qiao Jiaojiao had an idea of ​​who was present today.

[Tsk tsk, they are really a bunch of monsters and demons in this palace! ]

Emperor Yong was just making polite remarks, which were nothing more than praising the peace and prosperity of the country and then telling everyone not to be so reserved.

Soon the singing and dancing began. It was quite pleasant to watch, but it was the same every year and everyone was tired of it.

Emperor Yong also looked uninterested.

"Your Majesty, I have recently choreographed a new dance. Can I take advantage of today's Dragon Boat Festival to perform it for Your Majesty?"

A soft voice sounded slowly, and everyone looked in the direction of the voice, only to see Yu Zhaoyi slowly standing up. She had a slender and graceful figure, and her eyebrows and eyes were as delicate as a painting.

Emperor Yong raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this, and he became interested.

"Okay."

Concubine Jing was sitting nearby. Seeing Concubine Yu's coquettish look, she pulled at her handkerchief in anger.

However, when her eyes inadvertently fell on the third prince opposite her, she suddenly lost her temper.

Forget it, she will never be able to turn things around with a son like this.

The Third Prince had a gloomy look in his eyes. When he saw Concubine Jing's gaze, even though he had long been accustomed to the disappointment and disgust in the eyes, he still felt an unbearable dull pain in his heart.

His breathing quickened slightly, and he secretly clenched his hands.

He couldn't make a fool of himself at such a moment, otherwise, not only would his mother despise him, but he would also be ashamed.

"In that case, I will go downstairs and change my clothes first."

An exquisite dance must have a matching dance costume. Now it seems that Concubine Yu is indeed well prepared.

"Go ahead."

There was a hint of expectation in Emperor Yong's eyes, and his brows seemed to relax a little.

When the queen saw this scene, she remained calm.

Her relationship with the emperor had long been in name only. As long as the crown prince and the fourth prince were doing well, she would be satisfied.

As for where the man's heart lies, she was hurt too deeply in the past and no longer cares.

Qiao Jiaojiao raised her eyes slightly, and seeing that the queen was in a stable mood, she couldn't help but grin.

[That's right, a bastard man is not worth taking seriously! The Queen is truly a role model for women all over the world! ]

Yu Zhaoyi retreated gracefully, leaving a trail of fragrant wind wherever she passed.

All the court officials lowered their heads tacitly, not daring to look any further.

In the side hall, as soon as Yu Zhaoyi walked in, a palace maid came to greet her.

When the palace door was closed, the gentleness and docility on Yu Zhaoyi's face disappeared completely. She grabbed the palace maid's wrist and asked quickly:

"How's it going? Did you catch it?"

The palace maid was Yu Zhaoyi's confidant, her name was Liu Lu.

"My lady, we've caught him! He's been tied up and taken to a secluded place!"

Yu Zhaoyi's brows relaxed and she felt a lot more relaxed instantly.

"well."

Liu Lu frowned with some worry, "My queen, you are in great favor now, isn't it too risky to do this?"

Yu Zhaoyi was a little stunned when she heard this. She didn't know what she was thinking about, and a hint of infatuation appeared on her face.

"Liu Lu, the risk is worth it, otherwise I won't accept it!"

After hearing this, Liu Lu didn't dare to persuade her anymore.

"My lady, please change your clothes first. We are waiting for you outside."

Yu Zhaoyi nodded happily when she heard this. "I have practiced hard for so long, and today I can finally dance for him to see."

The singing and dancing in the palace had stopped. While waiting for Yu Zhaoyi to change her clothes, Emperor Yong suddenly became anxious and asked:

"Where is the daughter of the Meng family?"

Upon hearing this, everyone looked towards the long table at the back.

Minister Meng was flattered, and Madam Meng's heart skipped a beat. She hurriedly pulled Meng Guxue.

Meng Guxue has already stood up respectfully, "Your Majesty, I am the servant Meng Guxue."

The second prince had his brows lowered and his head bowed, looking respectful and silent. When he suddenly heard the name "Gu Xue", he immediately raised his eyes and looked over.

The girl has an oval face, fair skin, curved eyebrows, and the most striking feature of her is her eyes, which look very lively.

The name contains the word "xue" and the voice is familiar. This Meng Guxue must be the girl who holds the recipe!

Thinking of this, a hint of interest appeared in the second prince's eyes.

Qiao Jiaojiao was always paying attention to the interaction between the male and female protagonists. When she saw the second prince looking over, she couldn't help but mutter in her heart.

[These two people don't look familiar with each other. According to the original progress, when they look at each other, their eyes should be so vivid! ]

[It seems that the last poetry reading was effective in preventing the two from falling in love! ]

In fact, this was the first time the Second Prince met Meng Guxue.

When Qiao Jiaojiao's full moon was approaching and during the Lantern Festival, the Second Prince had a strong premonition that he was about to meet his destined person.

But after returning disappointed twice, this premonition never appeared again.

The Second Prince now met Meng Guxue for the first time. When he saw her standing there from afar, there was no trace of surprise in his eyes, but more of calculation.

Because he knew in his heart that the three formulas that Meng Guxue mastered were priceless. If used properly, all the wealth in the world would roll into his pocket!

Emperor Yong was somewhat surprised that Meng Guxue could compose such a poem when he saw that she was still young.

"I heard that you wrote a poem at the poetry meeting last time. I read it carefully and it is indeed remarkable."

"Today, can you also write a poem for the Dragon Boat Festival?"

When everyone heard Emperor Yong's name being mentioned, they were secretly glad that this difficult problem had not fallen on them.

Meng Guxue was also very nervous, but in a flash, she immediately smiled with joy!

Emperor Yong is simply putting the opportunity of becoming famous right in her mouth!

She had said long ago that she was the destined girl of this world, and destiny would always favor her!

Seeing this, Qiao Jiaojiao shook her head secretly.

[This is an easy question. It's an easy question! I told you not to underestimate the heroine. She's like an indestructible cockroach. She stood up as soon as she got a chance! ]

Meng Guxue suppressed the ecstasy in her heart and said, "Your Majesty, I am willing to give it a try."

Everyone looked at her when they heard this, which made Meng Guxue's self-confidence and vanity swell rapidly!

This is how it should be, she should have been the center of attention a long time ago, this day had been delayed for a long time, but fortunately her wait was not in vain!

The next moment, Meng Guxue opened her little mouth and stole another poem.

"The treasure book marks the spiritual day, which is bright at noon. The five stars represent the virtue of fire, and longevity will last forever."

The sound fell to the ground with a crisp voice. Meng Guxue's eyes were shining and she felt very proud.

She remembered many poems about the Dragon Boat Festival. This one was not particularly relevant, but it had a good meaning and flattered Emperor Yong without making a sound!

Everyone took a closer look and couldn't help but be secretly shocked.

The daughter of the Meng family really has real abilities!

Emperor Yong was overjoyed and immediately waved his hand: "Reward!"

Meng Guxue felt so proud that he knelt down and bowed: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Just at this moment, the sound of stringed instruments was heard outside the hall, followed by a graceful figure coming slowly towards them.
