Hearing that Yao Sisi wanted to go on stage, everyone's tired nerves once again grew excited. They all secretly guessed that some of them were optimistic, some looked contemptuous, and some were gloating. All of them looked spirited, while the Fourth Prince looked somewhat gloomy.

The painting test also ended.

The fifth round of dancing and singing began under everyone's anticipatory gazes. Even the young eunuch who had announced her confession began to shout even louder and louder than the previous rounds. Yao Sisi picked up the clothes she had prepared and headed to the backstage to change. Yuan Bao, who was standing a distance away, saw the expression on Yao Sisi's face and quickly followed to get ready.

As soon as they arrived, Yuanbao helped Yao Sisi change her clothes and put on her makeup. Wan-Er wasn't worried at all about the Miss singing badly, because she had heard the Miss singing before, but she had never heard them sing again and they were very nice too. The little miss only said it was confidential, which made Yuanbao's curiosity skyrocket.

Yao Sisi had told Yuanbao to comb a flying bun with some hair flowing down to her waist. She had used two red hairpins to secure her veil. Yao Sisi's slightly curly brown hair set off Yao Sisi's elegance. "Yao Sisi once again drew a red lotus in the middle of her forehead with a brush made of cinnabar. Like a celestial fairy, it was pure and full of vitality, causing people to not dare to look straight at it.

"Miss, you are so beautiful." Although this was not the first time that he had discovered the Origin Treasure, he was still stunned by the unimaginably beautiful young miss in front of him.

"Of course. I've studied makeup before, so you should know where I come from. You don't know that we have to put on some makeup during the interview and even perform a performance during the new year's festival. This is all a small matter." Yao Sisi accepted it without the slightest modesty.

"Miss, pay attention to your actions. You don't have the slightest trace of a Heaven Flying Immortal." Yuan Bao was already used to Yao Sisi's temper, so he avoided her while teasing her.

"Yuan Bao, you are looking for a fight!"

The crowd in the backstage was filled with cheers and laughter, causing the people at the front desk who wanted to watch the show to sweat profusely. They did not even listen to the singing onstage. It was finally the last contestant. The top three contestants had already been decided. The contestants in this competition were: Lord Censor's daughter, Zhang Mengmeng; the General's daughter, Xue Jinlian; and the Imperial Uncle's youngest daughter, Chen Wan'er. Yao Sisi saw that the time had come for Yuanbao to consult her.

Yuanbao walked up to the front desk and bowed. "This servant greets the empress dowager and emperor. My young mistress said that she will formally compete with Lady Chen Wan'er next." Chen Wan'er was the most depressed one of them all. Silence reigned below the stage. Everyone turned to look at the exit of the stage. They were afraid that they would miss the sound and see a bunch of ducks stretching their necks out.

The curtains were drawn, and at the back of the stage stood a person wearing a snow-white robe, with long brown hair curling around his head, a delicate wrist supporting his forehead in the air, one waving out, his wide sleeves swaying slightly, looking like a lazy yet pensive man, his long skirt flowing like a waterfall, his movements gentle and rising, like a flower bud blooming against the wind, his actions alternating left and right, causing countless thoughts to churn through his mind.

A calm voice broke the seemingly endless silence.

"Sisi wants to sing 'Like a Flower', but before singing, she will tell a story. After hearing this story, everyone will be able to understand the mood of the song more accurately."

This was the first time that everyone had heard a song and wanted to listen to a story. This was new, and no one had expected it to be like this.

"Let's see how you'll round it this time." Zuo Ran Fan muttered to himself as a look of victory flashed on his face. However, he didn't even know how much he was feeling in his heart. Yao Sisi didn't turn around and calmly sat on top of a row of Eight Immortals on the high platform. She smiled with a glint in her eyes and then entered the main topic: "I don't know how long ago, there was a little fox who escaped to the lower realms after stealing some oil from the lamp in front of the Buddha's throne, carrying injuries. He brought the little fox back home and took care of it carefully, soon, the little fox's injuries were healed, the herdsman reluctantly put it back in the forest, the little fox also refused to leave for a long time, gazing at the little fox again before finally disappearing into the depths of the mountains under the urging of the shepherds.

Every night, he would lie outside the window of the little shepherd boy's house to watch the shepherd boy. When the shepherd boy found out, he would no longer chase the little fox away and they would live together. The shepherd boy's illness became more serious every day, and the little fox didn't leave my side.

Even after half a month, the little fox still died. The little fox didn't feel sad and it just stood beside the corpse of the shepherd boy for a year, until the body of the shepherd boy turned into a pile of bones. The little fox dug a pit with its claws and buried the shepherd boy inside.

At that time, the little white fox had finally cultivated into a human form. She was very beautiful, the beautiful little fox had never forgotten the shepherd boy who had saved her, and the first thing she did was go down the mountain to find the shepherd boy. After going through countless hardships, she had finally found the reincarnation of the shepherd boy.

The little fox told Mei Scroll that her name was Ru Hua and that this name was given by the shepherd boy years ago. Three years later, when he was sent to the capital to catch his exams, he said that he would come back to marry her, and they would part ways at the Little Ferry.

In order to make the flower die, the fox mother used a spell to turn a mortal into a flower. She waited on the opposite side of the plum roll, and from then on, the plum roll would take the flower and go to another place to take over the job. The plum roll would carry the flower and escape from the fox master's imprisonment, but the spell was locked up, and every time she waited at the small ferry entrance, the plum roll would return in a flash of eighteen years.

At this point, Yao Sisi started singing softly, "He lit the lamp at night and read it a few times.

It was her childhood sweetheart, Mo Yan, who was standing guard by the side.

Jin Chai cloth skirt pair of eyes to see her cold window study hard to get to the Hall of Gold.

She said she would wait for you all her life.

"

After singing, Yao Sisi turned around and walked off the stage. Looking at the bunch of people who had yet to react, she was sure that she had won. She just pitied Chen Wan'er.

"Great, this is really great. I've heard of this song a few times in the mortal realm." The emperor was the first to react.

Zuo Rulan Fan did not believe that someone he thought was unbearable would be able to sing such a sentimental song. She thought to herself that this must be an illusion. Yao Sisi seemed to have seen through his thoughts as she took off her veil, bowing to him as she said, "Thank you for your praise, Your Majesty. I thank you for your praises."

The empress dowager chuckled happily as she replied, "That's right. This is the song that This Dowager has heard the most touching song so far. Sisi, I didn't expect you to be so secretive. Hehehe, This Dowager likes it. Little Shun, announce the result!"

Little Shun Zi quickly shut his mouth, reverting back to his serious expression as he said in a duck-like voice, "The Prime Minister's daughter has won. I now invite the fifteen misses to go onstage and decide on this round of the Zither Arts competition."

However, Yao Sisi ignored him and returned to her seat. Although she was anxious, she didn't know what to say. Noticing that everyone had gone up, she couldn't help but urge, "Miss Yao, please go and draw your lot."
