When the Imperial Garden returned to peace, it meant that the game officially began.
"Now we will start matching the number cards. When I call a number, the person with the corresponding number will stand up." The Crown Princess appointed the eloquent Nanny Wang to preside over the game.
"Number One, please stand up."
"Wow! Why are there two men?" Yun Can shouted in disappointment.
"Go on." Yun Yifan glared at Yun Can and signaled him. At the same time, he secretly decided in his heart that if there were such activities in the palace in the future, he must leave this guy out.
It was not until number five was called that it was finally the turn of a man and a woman to come on stage at the same time. They played a song together.
Number nine is He Jinzhi and Yun Can.
"How could it be you? I give up." Yun Can threw away the number plate with a flick of his hand. If He Jinzhi changed into a coarse cloth dress, she would be just a country woman. She was always flirting with him, and he was almost annoyed by her.
"You... He Jinzhi looked at Yun Yichen with tears in her eyes, hoping that he would stand on her side. If it wasn't a bit inappropriate, Yun Yichen wanted to applaud Yun Can. This made her feel uncomfortable and wronged. The good show would continue to unfold. If she didn't get back at the little girl for what she had done, how could she have the nerve to go to the Xiao family again in the future?
Yun Yichen raised the corner of his lips and revealed a sarcastic smile. It is not scary for a person to be ordinary. What is scary is when he overestimates his own abilities, does things that he should not do, and provokes people that he should not provoke.
"It's okay to give up, but if everyone tries to imitate us, the show won't be able to go on. So we have to have an explanation. Those who don't want to participate in the talent show should go to the middle of the venue and drink three glasses of wine and spin ten times on the spot." Yun Yichen's voice drowned out the discussion below. He didn't care whether the show could go on or not. Now, his primary goal was to vent the anger of the little girl.
"My cousin is such a good person." Xiao Yuan clapped her hands excitedly. Even though they were some distance away, Han Yueting and the others could clearly hear her words and the sound of clapping.
"Don't be too happy too soon, the final outcome is still uncertain!" Han Yueting believed that this was her cousin's revenge for the bullying of Xiao Yao by her own group. Did Xiao Yao think she had won? Dream on! Miss Xie from Xuancheng was no less qualified than her in every aspect. It was still uncertain who her cousin and the Prince Jing's Mansion would choose in the end!
Such a punishment that could make them look bad in front of everyone was probably unacceptable to anyone who considered themselves noble, so Yun Can and He Jinzhi played a song together reluctantly without any tacit understanding.
"The talented men and beautiful women in your Central Plains are at this level." Kong Xuzhe shook his head and sighed. Could it be that he came to the wrong place today? There were no people or things here that could arouse his interest.
"Cousin, shouldn't we set up a reward and punishment system? Those who perform well will be rewarded, and those who do things perfunctorily will be punished!" Yun Yichen glanced at He Jinzhi with disdain and said in his heart: You think you can just fool around and it will be over. I won't let you leave the palace unless I embarrass you today.
"That's right. I wasn't thoughtful enough at first." After the two brothers discussed quietly for a while, King Qi turned to the crowd and said loudly, "Now, I declare that the top three performers will receive prizes, and the bottom three must accept punishment."
Yun Yifan didn't know why his cousin had to target Miss He, but it was also a fact that he himself didn't like Yun Can, so it would be a good opportunity to deal with two annoying people at once.
Yun Can knew that even if his and He Jinzhi's program didn't get last place, it would definitely not be out of the bottom three, so he protested loudly. He didn't care about He Jinzhi's life or death, and what he cared most about was not letting himself lose face in front of so many people, especially in front of his junior sister.
"Don't worry! The punishment will be decided by the top three. If you get last place, just hope that the first place is someone you know. If you are good friends, how can he have the nerve to punish you? Don't you think so?" Yun Yichen came over and patted Yun Can on the shoulder to kindly remind him. Although he found Yun Can jumping around and it was an eyesore, this rival in love who could not be called an opponent at all was not his main target.
"Then I hope that Junior Sister will get first place. If she punishes me, I will be willing to do anything she asks me to do." Yun Can daydreamed.
"I hope you can get what you want!" Yun Yichen also wanted to give Xiao Yao a chance to punish He Jinzhi personally. It would be even better if he and the little girl caught the same number.
The next few pairs were all male-male or female-female pairs, until number 16 when Sun Tanhua and Yuan Jing were chosen.
"I was scared to death." Yun Ruonan said while patting her chest in shock. She was the one who just passed by on the 15th. She didn't know if she had the courage and guts to perform in front of so many people.
"Why aren't numbers three, six, and nine called? These numbers won't be performing solo soon, will they? But my show needs cooperation from others. I don't care, but you must come on stage to help me when the time comes." Xiao Yuan grabbed Xiao Yao's sleeve in a naughty manner and refused to let go.
"I'm not going. You can ask Third Brother for help!" Xiao Yao was now hoping that she would draw the same number as another girl, so that she wouldn't have to perform.
"Number 24, please stand up."
"Wow! It's my cousin!" Xiao Yuan stretched his neck and waited for the other No. 24 to appear.
A girl named Shan stood up timidly. She lowered her head and didn't dare look at Yun Yichen, who had already stepped out of the line and looked very unhappy.
"What are you dawdling for? This prince doesn't have the time to wait for you." Yun Yichen secretly cursed at his bad luck. He knew the chances of drawing the same number as Xiao Yao were slim, but at least someone quicker would be fine! As long as he wasn't among the last three, he would be content.
"Ah!" Yun Yichen's words frightened the girl so much that she trembled all over. She was just the daughter of a minor official. She had never met a royal descendant with such a high status and such a handsome appearance as Yun Yichen. She was so excited and frightened that she fainted magnificently in front of everyone.
After an examination, the imperial physician said Miss Shan was simply overexcited and would be fine after a short rest. Several palace maids helped her to a side hall. Everyone was at a loss as to what to do. No one had ever encountered such a situation before. Should Yun Yichen's team be considered the loser? Or should they forfeit?
"Oh! Let me laugh for a while, I really can't help it." Xiao Yuan covered his stomach and laughed "Hehe, hehe..."
Her voice was pleasant to the ears, and coupled with her bell-like laughter, it attracted the attention of many boys. Kong Xuzhe's mouth curled up. He liked this girl's temper very much and was willing to listen to her hearty and hearty laughter.
"Cousin, have you laughed enough?" Yun Yichen had long recognized that this was Xiao Yuan's voice. Only this silly girl was not afraid of offending him and dared to laugh whenever she wanted.
"That's all right... Cousin, my stomach hurts because I'm laughing. Could you please call an imperial physician to see me later?" Xiao Yuan wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, rubbed his stomach, and slowly straightened up.
"Puchi." Xiao Yuan couldn't help wanting to laugh out loud again when he saw his cousin's resentful eyes.
"Okay, stop it!" Xiao Yao had no choice but to step forward to stop Xiao Yuan's behavior. If she made Master Yun angry and embarrassed, everyone would be in trouble.
These people actually ran to the last row. No wonder I couldn't find them no matter how hard I searched. When Yun Yichen heard Xiao Yao scold Xiao Yuan for him, the irritation and anger in his heart slowly melted away.
It turns out that the little girl is so important to me. When I think of her, when I hear her voice, all my unhappiness disappears. She is the only one in this world who can silently influence me. If she is the calamity of my life, then I am afraid that I am doomed!
"My Lord, how do we deal with this?" Yun Can crossed his arms leisurely, clearly wanting to watch Yun Yichen's fun.
"What does it have to do with me? It's her own fault." She can faint while performing a talent. She is so useless.
"At least I managed to finish my show. What about you? You didn't even make it to the stage. You should be ranked last!"
"If you can call that lady over now, the performance can continue." Yun Yichen is not someone who allows others to bully him.
"She's not my partner, why should I go and call her?"
"I'll wait here for half an incense stick of time. If she shows up, I'll accompany her. If she can't show up within the specified time, don't blame me. How about we just leave it at that?" Yun Yichen narrowed his eyes and looked at Yun Can. This guy deserved to be punished. When he had some free time, he would teach him a lesson.
Miss Shan didn't wake up within half an incense stick of time, and Yun Yichen walked back to his seat. If he hadn't wanted to see if the little girl would appear on the platform, he would have found an excuse to take Yun Can out and give him a beating.
Number 25 was for two girls, and number 26 was for Xiao Yang and a daughter of Mr. Lin. Xiao Yang played the piano and Miss Lin performed a sword dance. Although they lacked tacit understanding, the two of them conquered the hearts of many people present with their superb skills.
Number 27 is Han Yueting and Yun Ruoxing.
"Someone is cheating, someone must be cheating." Han Yueting carefully prepared a dance, thinking that today, she would perform a stunning dance in front of her cousin and conquer his heart!
"That's right, this doesn't count. We should try again." Before Yun Ruoxing came, Concubine Han warned her that today was a rare opportunity. Whether she could marry an outstanding person and attract other people's attention depended on this one move. But in the end, she didn't even have a chance to play.
"Are you saying the Crown Princess and Prince Qi are being unfair, or are you trying to say everyone who just finished the performance cheated?" Yun Yichen interrupted the two people whose chatter was making their ears hurt. "You ignorant fools, do you really think anyone wants to see you perform?" Yun Yichen was sure that most of these people were still sitting here quietly, waiting to see Xiao Yao.
Although he wanted to interrupt the game and didn't want anyone to peek at his little girl, the arrow had been shot and there was no turning back. He could only pray silently that she would not draw the same number as the man.
Not only Yun Yichen, Yun Yifan and Xiao Yang had this idea, but even Xiao Yao herself thought so.
