Few people in the imperial city dared to marry her. Besides, her left hand was broken, and two fingers were bent and could not be straightened. Which lady in the house would want such a daughter-in-law?
It was all because he didn't get proper treatment at the beginning and even asked the nanny to torture him deliberately.
The Prime Minister is a cruel man, and he did it just to show the Emperor and Bai Zhiyue.
Her daughter had ended up like this, so surely she must resent her? But shouldn't she be hating the Prime Minister the most?
Mrs. Qu was only angry in her heart and didn't dare to do anything to her. When her eyes met Bai Zhiyue's, she shrank back in fear.
Oh, that's how he treats his daughter. The whole family respects the Prime Minister's words, regardless of right or wrong, good or bad, and dares not resist at all.
If she really cared about her daughter, why didn't she give her proper treatment? Why did she let the nanny torment her? Shouldn't she, as the mother, have a say in the choice?
They didn't do anything, so they feel guilty.
Mrs. Qu really didn't dare to confront Bai Zhiyue. Firstly, she knew how ruthless she was. Secondly, the Prime Minister had said that no one was allowed to conflict with the Bai family, so she could only watch.
Seeing that another piece of meat was missing, Bai Zhiyue didn't care.
"The Emperor has arrived, the Empress, the Virtuous Consort, the Virtuous Consort... the First Prince, the Second Prince, and the First Princess have arrived~"
Everyone bowed to welcome the emperor, who entered with the empress. It seemed that their relationship had become much closer. Perhaps because of her pregnancy, the empress's sharpness had decreased a lot and she looked much gentler.
However, the mothers of the eldest prince and the second prince who followed behind looked more imposing.
"Everyone, please take your seats. The banquet is about to begin!"
This time, Bai Zhiyue was not worried about her son. She ate and drank to her heart's content and enjoyed the singing and dancing performance happily.
Since there will be another general election next year, many of the noble ladies on the shortlist have volunteered to perform in order to win the emperor's favor.
If the emperor likes you, you can be selected internally, avoiding the whole screening process.
Some showed off their piano skills, some compared their painting skills, and their solo dances were even more exciting than those of the dancers. There was even a noble lady who performed a dance while splashing ink, and with a few strokes of the brush, she created a masterpiece that amazed everyone.
"What a masterful skill! It's truly masterful. It seems like a simple stroke of the pen, but the resulting painting is majestic and profound. This woman is unique and can be said to have created a new technique."
"That's true. I'll try the ink-splashing technique when I get back."
"If you think you can achieve something easily, you must have a clear mind and skills in your hands."
"If she, a woman, can do it, then naturally I can too."
Bai Zhiyue watched with great interest. This kind of highly enjoyable performance was rare, especially the competition among the noble ladies, which was much more interesting than modern talent shows.
The good thing about being an emperor is that you can have any kind of beauty you want.
"Princess, which one do you think the Emperor will take a fancy to?"
"I can't guess. In previous years, most of the daughters of ministers and nobles were chosen internally, and only a few were actually chosen through elections. This time, the Emperor might not make an internal choice."
"What a pity! All these noble ladies' efforts today were in vain."
"It will definitely leave an impression. If the Emperor chooses someone, he can still prevent them from being elected during the general election."
"Too!"
The emperor also particularly appreciated the performance of this young lady.
"Good, this painting is good, take a look!"
The other women were extremely jealous of her when they saw her being rewarded, but she was only winning because of the novelty, and there was no way she was that good.
The woman remained calm as she was glared at by many people, not taking any of them seriously.
"Hehe, another group of girls with dreams!"
“This guy is a successful person.”
The Queen accepted these things very quickly. They were bound to happen sooner or later. Her experiences in previous years had already made her lose her expectations.
She only wants to give birth to a legitimate son now, and the rest is just watching the show.
As long as the emperor keeps valuing his legitimate son, she won't have to worry. No matter how fresh, talented, or good-looking the others are, what difference does it make.
As long as they don't threaten her, let them compete for her favor.
Xian Fei and several other concubines looked at this group of young, talented and beautiful noble ladies, and they felt jealous. They had gone through so many difficult circumstances and finally made it to this day where they could live a few days of good life.
The queen was not tyrannical and intolerant. She treated them all equally, and there was rarely any conflict among them.
Once the new bride enters the palace, I'm afraid everything will change and the palace will become more lively.
After the first half of the banquet, Bai Zhiyue went to Princess Qi to find Doudou.
"Princess, Doudou didn't cause you any trouble, did he?"
"It's great. Even at such a young age, you can tell who's pretty and who plays the piano well. Just now, the comments he gave on those ladies one by one were so apt that it made me laugh so hard.
You didn't hear it. The person who was doing the stunning dance had very stunning movements. They said there was something wrong with her eyes because she kept blinking as if she was blinded.
It is said that the person who dances and paints with ink must be wearing white clothes. Look at the ink spots all over his body. Is he treating himself as a canvas?
They also said that the singer was glancing at the emperor while singing, but the emperor lowered his head to drink and didn't even make eye contact, saying that the singer was acting like a beauty to a blind man.
I almost laughed out loud. Oh my god, your son is so funny. Only he would dare to say that!
"Oh, you're really capable! If they hear this, they'll skin you alive."
"Hehe, they can't hear me, Princess Qi and I spoke in a very low voice."
"Yes, we spoke very quietly, no one else could hear us."
I heard the two of them laughing strangely.
"Princess, just let him be. Well, I'll take him out for some fresh air!"
"Okay, you guys go ahead. I need to rest for a while too. I'm old and my energy is low. Oh, by the way, Doudou just drank a bowl of milk and ate a lot, so there's no need to feed him anymore."
"Okay, I got it!"
Taking Doudou out of the hall, the two of them played in the imperial garden.
At this time, some people will go to the specially reserved guest rooms to rest, some will go to the toilet to change clothes, and some will go out together to play within the permitted range. It is not dark yet, so there are quite a lot of people coming out.
Bai Zhiyue didn't want to greet people back and forth, so she went to a place with fewer people.
I came to the pavilion beside the fish pond again and saw that there were more fish in the pond than before.
He took out some snacks from the space, kneaded them into the pond, and soon many fish gathered around to fight for them.
[Hey, you're that~that~who I can't remember!]
"It's you. I fed you last year too!"
[Yes, yes, it’s you, it’s you. I have always wanted to thank you. I haven’t seen you for a year and I almost forgot you!
After that, the emperor ordered that only the eunuchs who fed us were allowed to feed us, and no one else in the harem was allowed to feed us. Our safety was greatly guaranteed.
Now the team has expanded again, but I am still the prettiest and most popular one.
"Well, I'm glad I could help you!"
