Chapter 172: Concubine Selection Banquet (5)
Ye Yuwei looked at Zhu Meiyan with cold eyes and clenched her hands under her sleeves. She thought that she was the only one who would be rewarded for the talent show, so she immediately felt disgusted with Zhu Meiyan who was dividing her glory.
For her, all family affection was fake in front of men, interests and honor.
However, she thought of Zhu Meiyan's current reputation, and her lips slightly raised. His Royal Highness would never choose a person with a bad reputation as the Crown Princess.
Thinking of this, Ye Yuwei's eyes were full of smiles, and she didn't notice Ye Hai's displeasure at all.
Ye Hai had been paying attention to the situation on the field. Naturally, he saw Huangfu Xian and Huangfu Cai talking, and he could see that the queen was satisfied with Zhu Meiyan.
When he saw Ye Yuwei's joyful expression, his brows were tightly frowned, as if he could pinch a fly to death.
What was Wei'er thinking? Couldn't she see that the queen was very satisfied with Zhu Meiyan?
No, he must remind her when they compete in strength later.
The Crown Princess is his daughter, and the Third Imperial Consort must also be his daughter. The position of the two main consorts cannot fall on anyone else.
After Zhu Meiyan walked off the stage, the eunuch's shrill voice sounded again, "Please invite Miss Yan Ruyu to perform on stage. Miss Yan is the last one. I wonder if she will bring us a surprise as the finale?"
Hearing the eunuch's words, Yan Ruyu's eyes flashed with satisfaction.
The finale performance is naturally the most exciting performance of the whole show!
Yan Ruyu has only appeared in the capital recently, but because of Zhu Meiping, her reputation is very loud, so as she stood up gracefully, everyone's eyes fell on her.
Yan Ruyu walked slowly to the center, bowed slightly, and a pleasant voice with a hint of charm sounded, "Lord, Queen, I will perform a dance accompanied by my beautiful cousin, so please let me waste a little time to change a set of clothes."
Yan Ruyu has a mother from the Meixian Sect, so the Lord and Queen will naturally not embarrass her and agree with a smile on their faces.
After a while, Zhu Meili walked to the center and bowed, then played the piano directly under the stage.
After a melodious piano sound, a red figure also landed gently on the stage.
Yan Ruyu was wearing a tight red dress, with a bird feather in her hair, a long veil on her face, and silver bracelets on her bare feet, dancing to the beat.
Her joints were as flexible as a snake and could twist freely. A tremor passed from her left fingertips to her shoulders, and from her shoulders to her right fingertips, and the silver bracelets on her bare feet also vibrated. She was not deliberately artificial at all, and every movement was natural and smooth, like a white lotus emerging from the water, like a fairy, beautiful and intoxicating!
The most important thing is that Yan Ruyu has been focusing on dancing, and her eyes are not on anyone, which makes the young talents present even more attractive. They have a feeling that the woman in front of them can only be viewed from a distance and not played with!
However, there is a little beast called the desire to conquer in the hearts of men in the world, which will emerge at the right time and strongly affect men's thoughts.
Therefore, many young talents had a strong desire to conquer Yan Ruyu.
Ye Feiran held his chin with one hand and looked at Yan Ruyu, his expression did not change, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Situ Yu also looked at Yan Ruyu, and suddenly leaned close to Ye Feiran's ear and said, "Feiran, have you noticed that Miss Yan has a charm in her every move?"
Hearing this, Ye Feiran's eyes flashed with surprise, and asked, "Do you know anything about charm?"
Situ Yu shook his head, "No."
Ye Feiran: "Then why do you think Yan Ruyu is charming?"
Situ Yu looked around, and then said, "Look at the men around, their eyes are obsessed, they must be attracted by the charm of Yan Ruyu. After all, no matter how fairy-like her dancing is, it is impossible to attract the attention of all the men present. In addition, most of the women are also attracted."
Ye Feiran glanced at Situ Yu, and the corners of his lips curled up, and then said, "You are wrong about one thing, look at Huangfu Ze."
Situ Yu immediately looked at Huangfu Ze, only to see Huangfu Ze holding a teacup and sipping tea, with no interest in the performance on the stage, which was very different.
"Uh~ Why didn't I notice it just now? Forget it, except for him who was not attracted, but all the other men were attracted. The minority obeys the majority. I bet Yan Ruyu must have used the charm technique. After all, her mother is from the Meixian Sect."
Ye Feiran nodded, "Your analysis is very correct. Be careful of Yan Ruyu in the future. This woman is definitely very cruel."
"Huh~" Situ Yu looked at Ye Feiran in confusion, "Feiran, do you know her well?"
"Guess!"
Situ Yu rolled his eyes directly, but also silently remembered Ye Feiran's reminder.
After Yan Ruyu finished her dance, everyone came back to their senses, and thunderous applause rang out.
"Good, good, good! This dance is the most beautiful dance I have ever seen!" Huangfu Tian praised, "Come here, reward two hundred medium-grade crystal stones."
"Thank you for the reward, Lord!" Yan Ruyu bowed, thanked her and walked off the stage with the reward, without looking at anyone.
At the same time, the people around were still praising Yan Ruyu's dancing.
Ye Hai was naturally very satisfied, but Ye Yuwei looked at Yan Ruyu's back with a look of poison in her eyes.
It was because Huangfu Xian's eyes were always glued to Yan Ruyu, and his eyes were full of obsession.
Soon, the strength competition began. Ye Hai was so immersed in joy that he forgot to tell Ye Yuwei for a moment. He couldn't help but feel a little depressed at the moment.
The strength competition was a competition between two people, and each young lady was quick to decide, so it ended quickly.
Yan Ruyu's cultivation in the early stage of foundation building naturally won the first place and was rewarded with two hundred medium-grade crystals again.
Next came Xie Yilin, Zhu Meili, Ye Yuwei, Zhu Meiyan...
Ye Yuwei was so angry that she almost bit her silver teeth when she saw Yan Ruyu got so many rewards and received so many people's praises, and attracted Huangfu Xian's attention.
If she hadn't thought of what Huangfu Xian had said to her, she might not be able to control herself.
"Haha~ Everyone, the wonderful talent show and strength competition are over, and the theme of the concubine selection banquet will be entered next." Huangfu Tian announced with a laugh.
He was obviously very satisfied with this concubine selection banquet.
After the voice fell, except for Ye Feiran and Situ Yu, the other young ladies became nervous, and even their fathers became nervous.
Huangfu Tian looked at his ten sons and raised his voice slightly, "My sons, open your eyes and see which one you like."
Huangfu Tian looked at Huangfu Xian intentionally or unintentionally for a few more times. Huangfu Xian nodded imperceptibly. He would never let his father down again.
Then, the eunuch walked to the center of the stage and announced loudly, "Today, the one who is selected as the main wife will be rewarded with a jade bracelet, the concubine will be rewarded with a jade hairpin, the concubine will be rewarded with a pair of jade earrings, and the one who is not selected will be rewarded with a thousand gold coins. If you don't want to, you can refuse, and the royal family will not pursue it."
