Chapter 194 The Concubine's Daughter is Pampered by the Princes (5)
Bai Ruofu took his words as just a way of comforting herself.
But when they actually arrived at the banquet, they discovered...
It seems that what Song Yuhe said is really true.
Everyone knows that she was bullied by her elder sister. In fact, she should be the most beautiful woman and the most talented woman in Yun Dynasty.
In addition, Prince Sheng now dotes on her immensely.
Besides handling official business, he spent all his time trying to make her happy.
So no one dared to cause her trouble.
He even wished he could exchange a few words with her.
Immersed in this atmosphere, Bai Ruofu gradually relaxed.
-
The New Year's Eve banquet featured performances of singing and dancing.
Some people suggested that they wanted to see the performance of the most talented woman.
It wasn't that I was deliberately targeting Bai Ruofu.
I just wanted to see just how talented she really was...
Song Yuhe whispered, "Afu, if you don't want to perform, I'll help you..."
Bai Ruofu shook her head.
After Bai Ruoying was imprisoned, the title of "First Talented Woman" was bestowed upon her.
Whether she deserves this title remains to be seen.
Before the couple could express their opinion, Crown Prince Song Yucheng said, "My sister-in-law is a member of the royal family. How can she perform for everyone?"
Song Yucheng has never spoken out in defense of any woman.
Even his crown princess had performed at such banquets.
As soon as Song Yucheng finished speaking, the Crown Princess could hardly maintain her composure.
But she didn't have a seizure.
They didn't dare to lash out.
It is evident that Song Yucheng held absolute power in the Eastern Palace.
Upon seeing this, the emperor frowned slightly.
The crown prince's intervention was unexpected.
The Bai family's daughter was originally named Zhenyunchao, and logically, the Crown Prince should have chosen her first.
But he reminded Song Yucheng that a man should not be obsessed with women.
Having too many beautiful women in your backyard will distract you.
It also gave you a weakness.
It is not conducive to unifying the world.
Song Yucheng then gave up his idea of marrying the Bai family girl.
Little did they expect that their words would come true.
Throughout history, both power and beauty have been objects of contention for men.
The emperor and empress exchanged a glance, and in the end, they both chose—
To turn a blind eye to this.
The children have grown up.
Some things, let them solve themselves.
As long as nothing scandalous happens within the palace, they don't intend to interfere.
Song Yuhe and his elder brother Song Yucheng looked at each other.
In an instant, it seemed as if flames were shooting out everywhere.
Bai Ruofu, caught in the middle, was in a dilemma.
She suddenly stood up and said, "This scene reminds me of the soldiers far away on the border."
"They left their homes and worked tirelessly day and night to ensure the peace and stability of the border region of Yunchao."
"I dare to offer my humble opinion: to perform a sword dance to comfort the soldiers far away on the frontier..."
The emperor naturally agreed to her request.
The Empress looked at her with approval.
This daughter-in-law is good; she's sensible.
She's also quite clever.
After a sword dance, Bai Ruofu dipped her long sleeves in ink and painted a picture of a sunset over the border.
And it was accompanied by an impromptu poem: "If only the chivalrous spirit of the battlefield could remain, the barbarian horses would never look towards Yinshan."
Won a lot of applause.
Song Yuhe felt sorry for her.
Song Yucheng's gaze toward her grew increasingly... obscure and unfathomable.
-
This was just the first climax of the New Year's Eve banquet.
The second climax is when the Empress discovers the secret of the Fifth Prince Song Yuyin's birth mother's affair.
—It was the Imperial Concubine who plotted against us.
With witnesses and physical evidence present, the Imperial Concubine had no way to deny it.
Aside from the Empress and her two legitimate sons, the Imperial Concubine's faction was also a very powerful force in the Yun Dynasty.
The imperial concubine removed her hairpins and awaited punishment, begging the emperor to abandon one prince and two princesses.
