"That's right. Her playing is too unpleasant. Let's change the person."
When the noble lady saw this, she immediately became embarrassed and anxious. She quickly got up, picked up the zither, and left with her head lowered.
Yun Ruoyue glanced at the older princes, speechless. These men were used to being superior to women, so they didn't have the slightest bit of respect for women. All of them were drunk, and under the influence of alcohol, they showed their worst side.
She then glanced at Chu Xuanchen and the others. Fortunately, this group of young princes, princes, and ministers' sons were all drinking their own wine and didn't mock others like that.
At this time, a few more noble ladies went on stage to perform. Some sang, some drew, and some wrote poems. Although they finished performing, they didn't receive much attention. The guests were only focused on drinking and having fun. They didn't even look at what was happening on stage.
At this time, Consort Shu and the Empress looked at each other and suddenly swept their eyes over to Yun Ruoyue, who was tasting wine. Consort Shu smiled faintly: "Last New Year's Eve, The Princess of Li's talent opened this consort's eyes. This consort still can't forget that stringless zither playing. Tonight, does The Princess of Li have any talent to show us on stage?"
Yun Ruoyue glared coldly at Consort Shu from the bottom of her heart. On the surface, she said, "Just now, this concubine has already played the zither. Now, let's give the opportunity to the unmarried noble ladies."
In other words, she didn't want to perform on stage.
She wasn't a dancer. Why should she perform when others asked her to?
Consort Shu's expression turned ugly after being rejected by Yun Ruoyue. "We've only seen The Princess of Li's zither skills. We haven't seen your dancing skills. Tonight is such a good day. Even Consort Xue danced. Can you dance for us?"
After Consort Shu finished speaking, she sneered in her heart.
Forcing Yun Ruoyue to dance was the result of her discussion with the Empress just now.
mark(“zhong“);
They thought that a woman like Yun Ruoyue couldn't dance. Since other skills couldn't stump her, they would think of something she didn't know to embarrass her and embarrass her.
Yun Ruoyue was stunned. In this palace, it was really impossible to survive without some talent.
"I heard that Honored Consort Shu's dancing skills were also superb. Honored Consort Shu, why don't you dance for us to liven things up?" At this time, Chu Xuanchen had already held the wine glass in his hand and said coldly.
Hearing these words, Imperial Concubine Shu's face cracked. She was the Emperor's imperial concubine and was getting on in age. How could she dance in public?
It was fine for the new concubines to dance one or two dances to entertain the crowd.
However, her status was so noble, and she was one of the four imperial concubines. How could she dance like a young woman?
Moreover, she was old and her beauty was waning. Her appearance was no longer comparable to that of a young and beautiful woman. If she went to dance, wouldn't people laugh their heads off? She didn't want to embarrass herself before she knew what she was doing.
When the time came and people compared her to Consort Xue, one was on the ground and the other was in the sky. She would be trampled into the mud.
She laughed awkwardly, "The Emperor of Li is joking. This consort hasn't danced for many years and has long been out of practice. If The Emperor of Li can't bear to see The Princess of Li dance, then just pretend this consort didn't say anything."
"That's right. If The Princess of Li doesn't know how to dance, then we won't force her. After all, this imperial concubine has requirements for talent, but this princess consort doesn't have any requirements. At that time, with The Princess of Li's appearance, The Emperor of Li didn't dislike her and even married her. Therefore, it's fine if she doesn't know how to dance. "Consort Hui smiled.
In other words, being a princess consort didn't require any talent. Any Tom, Dick or Harry could be a princess consort.
