"You ~"
Wei Qingxian held onto Zuo Qingqing, who was about to lose her temper, and swept her gaze over the girl dressed in yellow like Qingqing.
"Don't bother with her. With such qualities, no matter what, the direct daughter is still an ugly person. I'm going on stage, Imperial Advisor had said that this kind of unreasonable person will be treated with only two words: Ignore!"
After she finished speaking, she slowly walked into the arena with her head held high and her chest held high. Her posture was gentle and her steps were graceful.
Self-confidence, calmness, naturally!
Although it was just a poem, this poem far exceeded Dongfang Ning's knowledge. She only knew 7 lines, and she had never heard of such a poem before.
Wei Qingxian did not write down the poem, but made it on the spur of the moment. She recited a line in her mind and left the stage immediately after the poem ended. Obviously, she did not intend to win the award.
The audience burst into applause.
Zuo Qingqing, who was at the side, was still quarreling with the woman. "That dance you just performed was really ugly. No matter how good your family background is, you're just a woman who used her parents' face to enter the palace to flatter me."
In terms of official position, since Zuo Qing was the Prime Minister, she had the confidence to argue. Now that she was the only daughter in Zuo Family, so what if she wasn't the direct daughter?
"Qing’er, go up!"
"Humph, wait!" "I have something to say."
The girl actually continued to block Zuo Qingqing's path.
"Although this is a royal palace banquet, everyone knows that this is also a place where everyone can find a partner they want. For a concubine like you to go up on stage, don't tell me you also want to marry a direct son or enter the palace as a concubine? Don't you know your own identity!
Everyone is equal, even if you have a mother. You have eyes, nose, and nose, I'm still the same. And what kind of identity do you have?
The commotion attracted everyone's attention. Huangfu Feixue, who was sitting on the seat of honor, finally opened her mouth.
"What are you all arguing about? Why don't you all tell us?"
"That's the Cheng Family's daughter, I heard..." "Your Majesty, I've loved you since I was a child," one of the palace maids by her side hurriedly whispered into her ear.
"A descendant of Duke Cheng?"
The Cheng Family was not a small family with many children. One of the sons of the Cheng Family was called Cheng Shanyi. He grew up with the former Crown Prince, Yan Yiyan, and was his right-hand man.
After that, the late emperor gave him most of the military power. Several years before the crown prince ascended the throne, he was assigned the position of general in the Heaven's End City, and the other children of the Cheng Family also held a certain position. They were lacking in Huangfu Family, no wonder they dared to act so arrogantly here.
"Esteemed empress dowager, I …"
Facing Huangfu Feixue's imposing manner, Cheng Qifang did not dare to speak anymore. She stopped after saying a few words. Huangfu Yunrou, who had been observing the situation, quickly ran over.
"Aunty …"
"Don't speak, I'll ask Miss Cheng what happened just now."
"Empress Dowager, how could a concubine like her be worthy of the nobles …" "I …"
"So what if she is a concubine? A concubine is not a human!" Don't look down on people with your dog eyes! "
Yan Qimeng, who was sitting next to Huangfu Feixue, started roaring at her.
When Cheng Qifang revealed her identity, the people in the audience could not help but start talking loudly.
After all, in the ancient times, people paid a lot of attention to the issue of status and inferiority. Even though there was a new theory coming from Dongfang Ning, it was still very difficult to make people accept it in a short period of time.
An old idea that has been believed for hundreds of generations is not something that can be changed easily.
"Hahaha, I heard that the Imperial Advisor was born in plain clothes, her identity is inferior to a concubine, yet she is respected by the people of the world. Could it be that the Cheng family's woman has grudges against the Imperial Advisor?"
The Imperial Advisor is a wonder of the world, how can her background be inferior to a concubine? Princess Qimeng is right, a concubine is also a human, not to mention that Miss Zuo is the precious daughter of the Minister of the Left, her status is not worse than the Duke of Cheng's.
What Wei Xiang said is right, although the Imperial Advisor is very learned and talented, and is one of the rarest women in the world, but due to her low birth, she would never be able to get into the great hall. I'm not wrong about that, I really don't know how much benefits she has given you, otherwise how could the Emperor not marry her?
He purposely said the last sentence very loudly, hoping that his daughter would be able to hear it. This matter had already spread throughout the entire Ann Nation Capital. Previously, when Yan Wuzhan was rejected by the officials and treated as Dongfang Ning, only the people in the imperial court knew about it.
After that, when the women of the harem were brought home, this matter was made known to the public. Furthermore, two days ago, the people agreed to let the Imperial Advisor be the leader of the harem, so everyone knew about this, but they did not know that the officials had already agreed.
"What?"
Sure enough, the hearts of all the girls broke as they turned their faces towards Dongfang Ning. The girl dressed in purple, which made her face look a little more mature, was both charming and seductive, but also cold and mysterious.
She just sat there without saying a word, yet she still had a strong feeling of existence. Everyone knew that she was powerful, that she was the most worshipful person. She had everything, but now, the Emperor was her as well?
It was unbelievable that the emperor would not marry her and the country would agree.
Only then did everyone's hearts break as they immediately recovered. After all, most people thought that she was only suitable to be a celestial man like the Emperor. However, there were still some who did not give up.
"Esteemed empress dowager, can you request Imperial Advisor to perform a bit of talent so we can learn from his alluring demeanor?"
It was unknown who said it, but Cheng Qifang was overjoyed and immediately followed.
"Please show me your talent, Imperial Advisor. After all, I am about to become the empress of this world, so I might as well learn a few things, don't you think?"
The crowd burst into an uproar as most of them started whispering. The officials knew that Dongfang Ning did not like to talk in front of people.
"Alright, even if my woman is useless, she is still my only woman. Whoever dares to spout nonsense again will be killed without mercy!"
The cold voice sounded for the first time since entering the arena for a woman from the countryside. No one dared to utter another word, thinking that he was already infamous for his cruelty when he was just Battle King. Now that he had Jiang Shan in his hands, who would dare to provoke him?
"Does the Imperial Advisor not dare to go up on stage, or is it really as the world says, to not even know the words, how can a mother act like the world and act as a role model for all the women in the world?"
Jealousy made women lose their sanity. Cheng Qifang admitted that she couldn't compare to Huangfu Yunrou, but she had liked Yan Wuzhan since she was young. She learned to embroider music and books just so that she could one day get Yan Wuzhan's attention.
