"It can't be, you guys are so fun." Su Mingyue said indifferently.

She was not here to show off. Besides, she did not need to draw lots to show off her talents, and with Jing'an's background coupled with Yuan Ao's words just now, it would probably be impossible for her to stay in peace.

"Alright then." Seeing Su Mingyue acting like this, Lin Zhi did not force her hand. Indeed, what Su Mingyue wanted right now was not to scare the audience, but to keep a low profile. The less she wanted to attract attention, the better.

Although the first topic was about zither arts, it wasn't about the zither alone. It was about the musical instruments. Although the girls' days were leisurely, they would always find something to spend their time on. Most of the girls would play one or two musical instruments.

Because of Yuan Ao's existence, everyone's interest was piqued, and they couldn't wait to show all of their abilities to this prince. The zither music seemed to have entrusted all their feelings to him, and they only wished to receive a compliment from Yuan Ao.

Su Mingyue watched on coldly, the most excited ones being the daughters of third-rank officials and high-ranking officials. The direct daughters of the real Nobility's people, such as Su Mingyue, Lin Zhi, Grand Preceptor Han, and Wei Lu's family, were mostly just watching the farce with cold eyes, not following them.

However, these girls were what Yuan Ao truly wanted. The rest were things that no one in the family had any influence over. How could they be his concubines?

Therefore, even though Yuan Ao was still humble and natural on the surface and politely chatted with those young ladies, he was still a bit irritated inside.

Because of Yuan Ao, an unstable factor, they also had a certain influence on the performance of the crowd. Because of Yuan Ao, an unstable factor, they also had a certain influence on the performance of the crowd.

Of course, Yuan Ao wouldn't express displeasure towards these people. He could give them a few words of advice, a word of consolation, or even a joke or two. In short, the atmosphere wasn't that awkward, and everyone had a good impression of Fourth Prince.

Of course, there were also those who were thin-skinned enough to run off to the side and cry as soon as they came down.

Sigh, how could Yuan Ao see someone who couldn't even show his face?

It was truly ironic. Su Mingyue hated Yuan Ao to the bones, but in the end, she was the person who knew Yuan Ao the best.

Ruan Ping'er's draw was neither good nor bad and she was the last one on stage.

"Your subject's daughter Ruan Ping'er pays her respect to Your Highness Fourth Prince." Ruan Ping'er bowed deeply in front of Yuan Ao, appearing to be at ease and at ease.

"It's Imperial Censor Ruan's daughter, right?" Yuan Ao's attitude towards Ruan Ping'er was still quite good. After all, even though Ruan Ping'er's birth wasn't that high, she was, in reality, the Jingan Marquis Mansion's Miss of Cousin.

"Yes." Ruan Ping'er answered in a low voice.

"Miss Nguyen, please." Originally, Cui Yingtong and Young Noble Cui Family should have been the ones to lead the Hundred Blossom Banquet, but since Yuan Ao had appeared, everyone had to give some face to this Fourth Prince, so it had become Yuan Ao's lead.

"Miss Nguyen, please." Yuan Ao raised his hand elegantly, indicating that Ruan Ping'er could begin.

"Yes." Ruan Ping'er had a generous and decent smile on her face as she sat down in front of the zither. Her fingers pressed on the zither strings, causing them to slowly fluctuate. Beautiful zither notes flowed out from her hands.
