Chapter 118: Volume 1, Chapter 118: Why Can't Yun Qiyue Just Feel Ashamed?

Once Qi Xue said this, there was a moment of silence at the scene.

Then, in everyone's eyes looking at Yun Qiyue, there was a trace of disdain and mockery.

Great talent? Compete? Benchmark?

If Yun Qiyue had once been normal, these words falling on her would make everyone wonder if Yun Qiyue had been hiding her light.

But a former fool, someone who hadn't even learned the rules, could have what great talent? How could she compete with them, who had been trained by specialists since childhood?

Wasn't this a joke?

Of course, although everyone thought this in their hearts, after all, the Regent they dared not provoke was sitting beside Yun Qiyue, so everyone only dared to keep this thought in their hearts and didn't dare to express it.

And what those below could think of, Xuanyuan Kun naturally wouldn't fail to think of.

Subconsciously looking toward Ye Lanjue's table, the look in his eyes was indescribable.

Logically speaking, a woman who is already married cannot participate in the talent competition of the Hundred Flowers Festival.

After all, Donglin's Hundred Flowers Festival has a strong sense of being a matchmaking feast.

However, to be honest, Xuanyuan Kun really wanted to see Yun Qiyue make a fool of herself in public, so Xuanyuan Kun didn't immediately reject Qi Xue's suggestion.

But, thinking of Ye Lanjue's protection of Yun Qiyue earlier, even Xuanyuan Kun didn't dare to rashly agree to Qi Xue's request, fearing he would be rebuffed.

After all, such a thing, Ye Lanjue was completely capable of doing.

Ye Lanjue never cared about the occasion.

Therefore, Xuanyuan Kun didn't speak for a long time.

At this time, Qin Jiayan stood up and looked at Yun Qiyue with provocation, "This Princess thinks this idea is very good; Yun Sanyuan can be favored by the Regent, so she must not be inferior to others in talent; why don't we all compete together."

The crowd wasn't surprised at all that the Xihai Princess would speak up.

After all, Qin Jiayan and Yun Qiyue could be considered rivals in love; who wouldn't want to do something that would make a rival in love make a fool of herself?

However, Yun Qiyue didn't move, didn't make a sound, and Ye Lanjue didn't make a sound either.

Neither of them responded to Qi Xue and Qin Jiayan's words, as if they both didn't exist.

It was fine for Ye Lanjue to be like this; everyone was used to it.

But for Yun Qiyue to be like this, it made the two women who considered themselves high and mighty feel dissatisfied.

And everyone felt that a definite answer of yes or no would do; what was this silence about?

The situation was deadlocked for a moment.

Seeing that the matter couldn't be accomplished, Xuanyuan Kun said, "Now that Qiyue is already married, logically speaking, there is no need to participate in this competition, but if any of you can convince Qiyue to participate, I will naturally agree."

This meant that he wouldn't put in any effort, and if Qi Xue could get Yun Qiyue to nod, then it would be allowed.

Upon hearing this, Qi Xue's hand in her sleeve tightened slightly, and then she smiled and said, "In that case, this subject's daughter will try to persuade her."

Saying this, Qi Xue left her seat and walked toward Yun Qiyue.

Just a few steps away from Yun Qiyue's table, Qi Xue stopped, looking at Ye Lanjue with quite a bit of wariness.

She wouldn't forget that she had once thought about getting close to Ye Lanjue, but...

As if thinking of something, Qi Xue's face stiffened slightly, but she quickly returned to normal and looked at Yun Qiyue with a smile.

However, Yun Qiyue didn't look up, always appearing as if it had nothing to do with her.

Seeing this, the smile on Qi Xue's face didn't diminish, "Yun Sanyuan, I really want to ask Yun Sanyuan for advice, and I want to find my own shortcomings through Yun Sanyuan; I hope Yun Sanyuan can fulfill this wish of mine."

Yun Qiyue looked up and looked at Qi Xue with a smile that wasn't a smile.

She hadn't understood before why Qi Xue would inexplicably stop her and ask her that question.

So, she was waiting for her here.

Heh, knowing that the immortal hadn't taught her anything, she couldn't wait to see her make a fool of herself on stage.

The words were pretty, putting her on a high pedestal, but if she really went up, wouldn't she lose face abroad?

Truly, Sima Zhao's heart is known to all.

It seems this Qi Xue is another rotten peach blossom attracted by Ye Lanjue.

Men, you just can't be too excellent, otherwise, there are too many peach blossoms.

Fortunately, Ye Lanjue isn't too friendly to women, otherwise, wouldn't she have a bunch of sisters in the future?

Subconsciously, Yun Qiyue looked at Ye Lanjue and asked with a smile: "Imperial Uncle, do you think I should go up and compete?"

Ye Lanjue looked at Yun Qiyue: "You want to go?"

Yun Qiyue shook her head honestly, "If I go, I'll have to make you lose face with me."

"Hmm!" Ye Lanjue averted his gaze, his tone indifferent, "You won't make me lose face."

Yun Qiyue: "..." Does that mean losing face is losing her own?

Yun Qiyue looked deeply at Ye Lanjue; at this moment, she only felt that Ye Lanjue seemed to have misunderstood something, but it didn't matter—

Yun Qiyue finally fixed her gaze on Qi Xue again, and then, decisively refused, "Not going."

Originally, the conversation between Yun Qiyue and Ye Lanjue wasn't deliberately lowered, and Qi Xue had heard it.

But hearing Yun Qiyue's refusal with her own ears, Qi Xue was still unwilling.

Everyone knew that Yun Qiyue definitely couldn't do anything, and Yun Qiyue standing up to lose face were two different things.

A person like Yun Qiyue, why should she be looked at differently by the Regent?

She just wanted her to go up and make a fool of herself, and then let the Regent see her true colors, so that this engagement could be dissolved.

Thinking that as long as Yun Qiyue made a fool of herself, the Regent would dissolve the engagement, Qi Xue couldn't help but persuade again, "Yun Sanyuan, you..."

"Miss Qi." Before Qi Xue could finish, Yun Qiyue interrupted Qi Xue's words, "I need to remind you of one thing: you go up to compete because you are anxious to use this to attract excellent men, but me—"

Yun Qiyue pointed at herself with her finger, and then pointed at Ye Lanjue, "I already have the most excellent one, so I don't need to at all, right?"

Hearing Yun Qiyue say he was the most excellent, Ye Lanjue's thin lips curled into a shallow arc.

Qi Xue: "..." So angry.

The women: "..." Really so angry.

Why can't Yun Qiyue just feel ashamed? Instead, she has the face to show off in front of everyone?

Doesn't she feel that she isn't worthy of the most excellent Regent?

At this time, the Empress, under Xuanyuan Kun's signal, also spoke, "Although Yun Sanyuan is engaged to the Regent, she is still a young girl after all and has never participated in this Hundred Flowers Festival feast; why not compete with everyone and join in the fun?"

Yu Huanghou was proper, dignified, and wealthy, and her tone was already very gentle.

And upon hearing this, Yun Qiyue didn't think so, "Not interested."

Wanting to see her make a fool of herself, how could they do it without some chips?

Yu Huanghou didn't expect Yun Qiyue to reject her face so quickly, and her face looked a bit ugly for a moment.

But soon, Yu Huanghou straightened her expression and said with a smile: "How about this, if you participate in the competition today and win first place, I will grant you one condition?"

Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes were full of envy.

A condition from the Empress, not everyone could get it.

One by one, they all looked at Yun Qiyue, thinking that Yun Qiyue must agree.

Naturally, everyone was envious but not jealous.

After all, with Yun Qiyue's years of foolishness, the possibility of winning first place was too low.

Everyone was looking forward to it, looking forward to Yun Qiyue agreeing, and then getting slapped in the face.

But they didn't expect that Yun Qiyue would say something shocking again...
