Unlike the others who were sitting with their families, the little girl was the only one. Even though she was accompanied by a maid, she looked inexplicably pitiful in comparison.
Although the little pity in his eyes was listening to the system's explanation with great interest.
After toasting, the emperor motioned for the performers to come up.
Looking at the beauties in cool clothes, Gardenia adjusted her posture unconsciously, leaning on her cheek with one hand in a lazy posture.
It looks like you bought a ticket to get in.
In fact, the reason why the little girl is so excited is that there is a beautiful woman to see her. On the other hand, it is naturally because this kind of opportunity is the easiest to cause trouble.
Shen Nanqing only took her back to the capital last year, and now she only has a good relationship with Zhi Nai. However, Shen Yang grew up here, and although his life experience is slightly inferior, he has a lot of little sisters who usually play with him.
Not long after the dance ended, someone mentioned that the concubines of the Prime Minister's Palace danced beautifully and wanted to take this opportunity to see her.
This was originally a celebration banquet, so the queen naturally smiled.
Shen Yang stepped forward to agree. Before going out, he didn't forget to look at his sister's face, but when he saw that she didn't respond at all, he couldn't help but frown, feeling a little unwilling.
Her dancing skills are indeed good, especially since a noble lady rarely practices such a humiliating act, so she is considered outstanding, and even His Majesty specially rewarded her with some money.
Not much, but still an incentive.
After the beginning, people came forward one after another to perform, and the last one raised his lips with evil intentions and mentioned Shen Nanqing.
"I heard before that the daughter-in-law of the Prime Minister's Palace is outstanding in all aspects. I wonder if I will have this opportunity today."
Hearing this, Zhi Nai stopped eating the pastry and went to the table next to her, asking thoughtfully.
"I remember you have a jade flute?"
Princess Anping shrank down instinctively, and then looked at her warily.
"What do you want to do?"
Gardena looked at her a little strangely, but still answered honestly.
"Lend it to me."
Princess Anping glanced at her suspiciously, but in the end she did not refuse, but turned around and ordered someone to get it.
Her aunt is a favored concubine in the palace, and she is currently studying at Taiyuan University, so many things are kept in the palace.
So when Shen Nanqing was thinking about countermeasures without changing his expression, he saw his maid walking over and whispering something, then nodded and stepped forward.
"Then my daughter will show her disgrace."
At the same time, the fourth prince also received something sent by the little girl, and his expression was a little complicated for a moment.
He didn't know where his cousin sang, but he didn't hate Shen Nanqing, so there was nothing wrong with helping her.
So when Shen Nanqing came on the stage, a long flute sound suddenly sounded.
Everyone present looked at the fourth prince in surprise at first, then swallowed their doubts when they thought of this man's style.
Who doesn't know that the fourth prince is the most gentle and elegant, proficient in all musical instruments and poems, and is the target of literati and poets vying to visit him.
If it's out of appreciation for talent or a whim, this can also be reconciled.
However, Princess Anping felt something was wrong.
"When did you have such a good relationship with the Fourth Prince?"
Gardenia shook her head casually, her tone natural.
"It's not very good."
She didn't want to get involved in the princes' fight for the throne. Although she would intervene secretly to correct the plot, it would be too much trouble if she was involved openly, so she has always maintained similar relationships with all the princes.
In other words, no one looks down on it.
At most, some princes were beaten a little too much.
