C3 Talent Show

Fu Qingzhi smiled and did not mention the rest of the sentence. She only said in a low voice, "Younger sister has a beautiful face and is petite and cute. Do not belittle yourself."

Meng Nianyun was about to speak when Mammy, who was already older, came out from the door. She brought everyone into the Palace to check their appearance and body. Because this group of beautiful ladies were the children of officials. The palace maids also knew the severity of the matter, and almost no one was put in a difficult position. It went smoothly, and when the matter was settled... There was also Mammy who came and led the beautiful ladies to the Xuan Pavilion at the side of the Yi Yuan Hall. The four of them were divided according to the name list and waited for the Emperor to summon.

Because of her father, Fu Qingzhi was assigned to the third batch. In the first batch, the second batch were all the sisters of the concubines and there were also relatives of the Emperor's mother. For example, Fu Qingzhi had heard that she was a girl from the Dong Clan. Her name was Dong Yutang, and she was somewhat related to the Empress Dowager. Although it was a distant room, it was enough for her to become the top of this group of beautiful ladies.

Dong Yutang was also beautiful. She was not the same type as Qingzhi. Her red phoenix eyes were flying and she had a sharp chin which made her look very bright.

At this time, it seemed that the Emperor had not arrived at the Hall of Elegance. Therefore, everyone was waiting on the spot. There were a few girls beside Dong Yutang who were praising her clothes and jewelry. Qingzhi was whispering to Meng Nianyun but Dong Yutang was unexpectedly smiling as she stood in front of the crowd. She came over to greet Qingzhi and said vivaciously, "When we were young, we often heard that elder sister has a devastatingly beautiful face in the capital. I really admire her in my heart. When I see her today... She is truly a stunning beauty. "

Qingzhi performed a normal bow and lightly said, "Not comparable to younger sister's natural beauty. She is in high spirits."

"My father told me before the talent show that elder sister is a steady and generous person. He told me to learn from elder sister and elder sister do not think that younger sister is stupid." Dong Yutang's chin slightly raised, as if it was not as modest as she said.

Fu Qingzhi smiled slightly and her red lips lightly parted, "You speak too much. I heard that younger sister is Empress Dowager's distant cousin. It seems that the family education is very strict and the etiquette must be very good. This way, Empress Dowager will not lose face outside. How would I dare to teach younger sister."

Dong Yutang was blocked and coldly smiled. She did not even bother to be perfunctory and went back to gather with the group of sisters. She did not know what she said and the group of people looked at Meng Nianyun and Fu Qingzhi with mocking eyes.

Meng Nianyun was not afraid. After all, she could not enter the Palace and would not have any interactions with Dong Yutang in the future. But she was very worried about Fu Qingzhi and softly said, "Why did elder sister offend her the moment she came up. This Dong Family has a lot of background and it was said that they were already decided by the inner Palace."

Fu Qingzhi stood there calmly and did not care about how the other side talked about her. But she patiently explained to Meng Nianyun, "This Miss Dong probably listened to her father's words and wanted to get on good terms with me. However, she was arrogant and did not put me in her eyes at all. A devastatingly beautiful woman "was originally a good thing to praise a person's beauty, but in this Forbidden Palace, "If you want the King to topple the capital for you, it will be a disaster of beauty. In the 'Women's Commandments', a woman wanted to 'stay quiet and defend herself'. There is no good show to laugh about. She says that my reputation is outside. "Doesn't that mean that I don't follow the virtues of a woman and I don't respect myself?"

Meng Nianyun clenched Fu Qingzhi's hand tightly and was filled with worry. "Now that we have not entered the Palace yet, there is already someone who is so clever. The words spoken from the inside are trying to mock others. If elder sister enters the Palace, I am afraid that it will be even harder to deal with."

"It's just my life." Meng Nianyun was pure and Fu Qingzhi was not willing to talk too much about the twists and turns of the matter with her so she found another way to talk about it.

This did not wait for long before a servant came to read out the names of the first batch of people to meet. Sure enough, Dong Yutang was ranked first. She cast a glance at Fu Qingzhi and proudly followed the person.

Fu Qingzhi and Meng Nianyun did not care about the results of the hall selection. Speaking of the interesting matters in the boudoir, it was Qingzhi's turn after another batch of beautiful ladies entered. Meng Nianyun held her hand and her eyes were filled with concern as she watched her follow the people into the Yi Yuan Hall.

The sunlight entered the hall from the outside and Qingzhi could see from the corner of her eyes that the Emperor's clothes in the solemn hall did not move at all. Clearly, she was not very interested. Beside her sat a female who was about to be Imperial Noble Consort in the palace. Because the seat at the back was empty and the Empress Dowager's body was not very good, it was always Imperial Noble Consort's Lu Family to handle the matters of the six palaces. Hence this time's talent selection, the Lu Family also followed the Saint by the side to advise.

A eunuch sang, "Young Master Fu Chongnian's daughter, Fu Qingzhi, is seventeen years old."

Qingzhi understood the rules and slowly walked forward. The pendant around her waist did not make any noise and the skirt did not move at all. She had thought it through these days and it was unavoidable for her to enter the Palace. The only thing she could do was to do this well, and put the Fu family and the Imperial Family in shame. She didn't ask the Emperor to treat her well, but she wouldn't make any mistakes because of her. She had to blame her own mother's family.

Fortunately, the Fu family had taught their daughter well. Even though they spoiled and raised her, the knowledge and etiquette that they should have had also declined.

Qingzhi lowered her head deeply. Even the corners of her eyes were looking at the lines of the limestone on the ground. Her voice was gentle and clear. "Chennu Fu Qingzhi greets the Emperor and Imperial Noble Consort. May the Emperor have a thousand blessings and peace. Imperial Noble Consort will be happy and happy."

A light laugh came from the head and the Emperor turned his body to the side and said to Imperial Noble Consort, "This female scholar is rather smart and did not make those previous' thousand year auspicious' jokes."

Fu Qingzhi's heart tightened. She knew that other than the Empress and Empress Dowager, she was the main wife and was qualified to be Xu Qiansui's wife. No matter how high Imperial Noble Consort's position was, she was still a concubine. She could not be called "Long live. But the Emperor saying so at this moment, was he not afraid that the Lu family would feel uncomfortable?

Qingzhi faintly felt that perhaps with just this sentence, the Emperor had already made an enemy for her in the harem.

However, Imperial Noble Consort and Loo Yingzhen had been in the Palace Quarter Examinations for a long time and only she knew what she was thinking in her heart. On the surface, there was a slight smile as she gently said, "Chenqie heard that Minister Fu's goddaughter is doing well and now it seems that she is indeed in a dilemma." Then she asked Fu Qingzhi amiably, "What do you usually learn at home?"

Fu Qingzhi lowered her brows in a pleasing manner, "Replying to your Ladyship's words, Chenqie is at home studying needlework at home."

"Oh?" The Emperor on the throne suddenly moved, sat up, and asked with interest, "I heard that Fu Chongnian doted on his children very much. Although his daughter did not go to the academy to study, she invited the female teacher to teach at home. Is there no such thing?"

Fu Qingzhi calmly replied, "In response to the Emperor, there is indeed such a matter. My father invited the teacher for the female official and Eldest Sister to teach piano, chess, and painting. But Eldest Sister was smart and the female official was dull. She only learned the basics and was not worth mentioning. It made the Emperor and Imperial Noble Consort laugh at her."

The Emperor nodded and Imperial Noble Consort understood what he meant. She smiled and said amiably and gently, "I think Miss Fu is being modest. You look really modest and courteous." Then, she turned her head and said to the eunuch beside her, "Why don't you leave your name on the plate?"
