The queen did not expect that Huang Yueli's piano skills were so superb. She knew that her plan would definitely not succeed, so she lost her patience.
I just want to finish the talent show as soon as possible and move on to the next martial arts performance as soon as possible.
Others also turned their attention to Bai Ruoqi, with a hint of teasing in their eyes.
There are all smart people present. Everyone understands why Bai Ruoqi dare not perform!
Bai Ruoqi's face became redder and redder, and she finally made up her mind and said bravely: "My talent in performing... is also... also the guqin! I will play "High Mountains and Flowing Waters" for everyone!"
She also knew the rules in the palace. No matter how poorly she performed, it was better than refusing to perform. The latter was disrespectful to the emperor and might lead to punishment.
Bai Ruoqi had no choice but to walk to the middle with Han Shui Qin in her arms, took a deep breath, and started playing.
Huang Yueli held her chin up, drinking peach blossom wine while listening to Bai Ruoqi's performance.
To be fair, Bai Ruoqi did put a lot of effort into her piano skills.
The fingering has been perfected, but it just can't be integrated into the emotion, and it always sounds a bit stiff.
Without her, Huang Yueli, Bai Ruoqi's performance would have been considered quite outstanding to a layman.
Bai Ruoqi sat on the stage, forcing herself to calm down and play the guqin. What she needed most was peace of mind. She must at least complete the performance at a super level and not let everyone look down on her!
However, the more she thought about it, the harder it became to calm down.
Finally, with a flick of my finger, I really hit a wrong note!
After finally finishing the performance, Bai Ruoqi returned to her seat as if she was running away.
In today's performance, not only did she fail to be the object of admiration, but her performance was a mess, not even half of her usual level.
If I had to use one word to describe it, it would be - rotten!
In previous years, when she performed in the palace, no matter whether she was the emperor, the queen mother, or the empress, she would be rewarded, but today, after listening to the performance, several nobles showed no expression on their faces and expressed nothing.
The queen's brows twitched, obviously dissatisfied with her.
Originally, I wanted to rely on Bai Ruoqi to overpower Huang Yueli and dispel the emperor's idea of choosing Huang Yueli as the crown prince. Who knew that this girl would be so unreliable at the critical moment!
Even the applause from the audience was sparse and was purely polite.
As soon as Bai Ruoqi's butt touched the stool, the queen couldn't wait to announce the list of the next performer.
"The following is Liu Yiyi, the third young lady of Duke Dingguo's mansion."
Liu Yiyi smiled slightly and walked gracefully to the middle of the stage.
With a graceful waist and light steps, she performed a song called "Neon Clothes and Feathered Clothes".
The two songs I just listened to were all Guqin, which inevitably made people feel a bit boring.
Liu Yiyi's dancing skills were already famous in the capital, but now they were even more refreshing, and she immediately won everyone's applause.
Bai Ruoqi sat in the audience and almost crushed her wine glass.
She is a lady from a wealthy family, but she is not a prostitute!
Liu Yiyi is really not dignified at all. What is there to applaud
What made Bai Ruoqi even more angry was that the prince was also applauding, clapping the hardest and watching the most intently. His eyes were almost glued to Liu Yiyi's constantly twisting waist.
Liu Yiyi, a vixen, dared to seduce the prince with her looks!
