Seeing that there were a couple playing outside, they looked at each other and smiled. Seeing that it was getting late, the Minister stopped them and said, "Yi Hang, Sisi, please stop messing around. It's not good to follow your father into the palace so late."

"Yes, Father." "Oh, Father." Yao Sisi and Yao Yifan answered and went into their respective carriages to get on their horses. Yao Sisi and Yao Jiajia shared a palanquin while the Prime Minister rode a palanquin by himself. The group of people walked towards the palace. When the prime minister's wife saw that everyone had disappeared from sight, she was finally supported by her first wife into the mansion.

An hour later, the carriage finally stopped. Yao Sisi got off the carriage and saw that the palace was truly magnificent. A magnificent golden roof rose up from one of the majestic palaces, with rows upon rows of different heights, causing people to worship her from afar.

He couldn't help but marvel at the wonders of creation, and he couldn't help but marvel at the wisdom of the ancients. Compared to the many ancient ruins she saw in Beijing, she was amazed. She wondered if it was because of the truth. The Prime Minister's father urged her along the way, but she didn't get the chance to carefully observe. He could only take a few glances around and quickly arrived at the imperial garden that held the talent convention.

There were already a lot of people gathered in the imperial garden. Beautiful ladies of all colors, court officials, concubines, and even female servants and eunuchs were all very pleasing to the eye. Before, she didn't believe in the beautiful ladies and handsome men of ancient times, but now she completely believed in them.

Yao Sisi followed the Prime Minister's father, eldest brother, and Yao Jiajia and sat down. The one closest to them was the Minister of the Military Department — one on the left, the other on the right was the Minister of Justice — one. While eating the fruit on the table, Yao Sisi enjoyed the delicacy and exclaimed, "Delicious!" Initially, she had thought that the food of the Prime Minister's Estate was already the highest quality. She hadn't thought that the food in the palace was the highest quality food.

About half an hour later, the surrounding tables were filled with people, leaving the table of the Fifth Prince who had killed a thousand men was empty. She found it funny watching Yao Jiajia and Shui Qiubai glancing at each other. However, thinking about it, the Fifth Prince hadn't come yet, did he? How was she supposed to watch him get slapped so hard in public? Wasn't her plan of revenge going to fail? She bit down on the apple.

"The emperor, esteemed empress dowager, and esteemed empress have arrived!" A high-pitched, ear-piercing voice rang out. Before Yao Sisi could recover her senses, she was dragged down to her knees by Yao Jiajia. Because she hadn't prepared in advance, her knees kowtowed stiffly to the ground. "Long live the emperor, long live the empress dowager! Long live the empress dowager!" The sound of the earthquake was drowned out by the silence.

"Everyone, please rise." Yao Sisi sat back down as if she had received an amnesty. She rubbed her throbbing knees. However, this Emperor of the Qiankun Dynasty really surprised Yao Sisi. He was so young! A eunuch announced loudly that the competition had officially begun.

"Fourth Marquis, you're here!" The eunuch screamed from outside the garden.

"Little sister, the Fourth Prince is here. Didn't you want to see him?" Wan-Er whispered in his ear like he was offering a treasure.

Yao Sisi immediately stopped complaining. Her eyes stared straight at the entrance. She was dressed in white clothes embroidered with azure bamboo patterns. Her black hair was tied up into a bun, her eyes were bright and her teeth were white.

"Cough!" "Ahem!" Zuo Rulan Fan cleared his throat and walked closer. She bowed in accordance with the custom set down by the ancestors. "Your son greets the empress dowager and your majesty."

The empress dowager and the emperor said together, "Stand up!" "My royal brother, please rise."

Yao Sisi was pulled to the ground by Yao Jiajia once again. "This subject greets Fourth Prince."

"Pardon me, ministers." After saying that, the Fourth Prince Zuo Rulan turned around and took a seat.

At this moment, Yao Sisi remembered that the source of all this was the Fourth Prince, Zuo Rulan, sitting on the table opposite her. She swept her gaze across him with murderous intent. If the black haired beauty from that day was domineering and resolute, then the handsome man in front of her was cold and aloof. However, his voice was pleasant to the ears, causing Yao Sisi to feel a little lost. How could such a large, ice-cold ice block have such a warm, jade-like voice? The word "perverted" could be used to describe it, but if the two words did not explain the problem, then the word "perverted" could be used to describe it.

"This Dowager is very happy that all the ministers and princes have brought their daughters here. This Dowager won't hide anything from anyone, either. Today, This Dowager will be the one to choose the most talented woman in the imperial court, including the candidate to be the consort of the Fourth Prince," the empress dowager said with satisfaction. It is also a declaration to the world that the talented women of our Qiankun cannot be underestimated. "

"Fourth Princess?"

"Isn't this slapping the Prime Minister's face?"

"I heard that the Prime Minister's Thousand Gold Finger has already been given to the Fourth Prince?"

"Could it be that the Prime Minister has no talent for literature, or is there some unknown secret?"

All of a sudden, discussions broke out in a low voice. Yao Sisi looked at the Prime Minister's father with a dark and gloomy expression. Even a fool could tell that he was angry. Yao Sisi looked at these people who liked to bite the back of their tongue and wanted to whip them a few times. However, since this was the Imperial Palace, she knew that her life was more important.

"Everyone, be quiet. This Dowager heard that a month ago, This Dowager had once ordered This Dowager to grant the Prime Minister's daughter to This Dowager's youngest son. As mothers, they naturally have to listen to the opinions of their children. The Fourth Prince said that he liked girls who are proficient in zither, chess, calligraphy, dancing, and singing. As a result, I can only let the Prime Minister down and let the ladies here rely on their own abilities. " The general situation was in the control of the Empress Dowager, and it was neither impolite nor offensive.

Yao Sisi couldn't help but deeply glance at the empress dowager sitting on the high platform. She couldn't help but stick out her thumb and whisper to herself: This empress dowager is really something. She's settled this marriage so quickly. Even if you wanted to, you wouldn't be able to hate her. If you can't be the last person to make the emperor enter the harem, you'll always be in an invincible position. If such a woman can go to the modern era, she would be a treasure that earns a lot of money.

"Prime Minister, is that your daughter by your side?" Her Majesty's voice seemed easy to approach, but it carried a certain authority.

The Prime Minister quickly left his seat. Yao Sisi followed Yao Jiajia out of her seat and knelt down once again. The Prime Minister's father replied, "Yes, it's exactly as the Empress Dowager said. This is the eldest daughter, Jiajia, who has now been betrothed to Minister Shui's son. This is my youngest daughter, Sisi."

Yao Sisi suddenly raised her head and snickered at the prime minister. Her voice was as soft as an ant's, "Daddy, you're really amazing, using a few words like you're using a thousand pounds is really amazing, but you didn't say much, and directly solved the possibility that elder sister Jiajia was chosen. You also introduced me, it seems daddy's luck really wasn't lucky enough to become prime minister." Fortunately, Yao Sisi's words were not heard by anyone. Otherwise, she would have been struck by lightning.
