"Me? No, no, I can do it. I don't know everything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. I haven't learned much since I was a child. Don't show off my ugly side." Ye Qingyan hurriedly refused humbly. The pearls and jade were already in front. If she showed off her ugly side, it would be embarrassing. She still knew her own knowledge.

Ye, who was sitting at Ye Qingyan's head, was extremely ashamed when he heard Ye Qingyan's words, "It's all my fault."

When Ye Qingyan was a child, she was busy dealing with the affairs of the Ye family and a group of children of the big and small. She neglected Ye Qingyan to teach her the rules and piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but she never stared at it and was loose.

"It has nothing to do with my aunt, it's because I am too naughty and always skip classes." Ye Qingyan replied with a smile.

At that time, she was really not very obedient and didn't like to learn what the ladies of the family learned. She just liked to make herbs and practice martial arts. She never took the initiative to play with the sisters in the mansion. Ye Guangzhong was a mediocre person, and he couldn't tell the matters in the officialdom. He also took concubines one after another in the back house. In the end, Ye was responsible for the affairs of the whole family inside and outside. She could not take care of her. She saw it even though she had no time to care about her.

Zhuang Xiuyi and Zhou Jieyu each came to thank Ye Qingyan with their own flowers.

This time, everyone should have a reward. It depends only on the importance of the reward, especially the first reward, which can be upgraded.

So they all tried their best to take out all their old capitals. Originally, these were prepared to please His Majesty, but now they all please the Queen.

"The two sisters really make me admire you." Ye Qingyan smiled, "Especially Zhuang Xiuyi, I didn't expect you to play the piano so well, comparable to everyone."

Zhuang Xiuyi bowed his body and bowed, "I don't dare to be a concubine, but I'll just not dislike her."

"Okay, I like it very much. There is also Concubine Zhou..." Ye Qingyan looked at Concubine Zhou in men's clothing and praised her, "He is so handsome, so he doesn't let the bearded men."

Zhou Jieyu was praised by Ye Qingyan and blushed, because she was dancing and said in a panting voice: "Thank you, the Queen, for her praise, and the Queen's flowers."

"Okay, you guys sit down and rest first." Ye Qingyan nodded, expressing his satisfaction with the two of them.

After the two of them took their seats, a palace maid presented them with delicious food.

Soon another graceful concubine on the stage was on the stage, holding the pipa, with a piece of gauze covering her face, and her face was not visible. However, with her walking posture, the concubines who had been with her day and night for several years still recognized her at a glance.

"This is beauty Wan." Zhuang Xiuyi said to Zhou Jieyu beside him.

Zhou Jieyu nodded, "It's her, she's covered with a veil and has the heart."

"You are more thoughtful in men's clothing, okay?" Zhuang Xiuyi quipped.

"Sister, isn't this praying for the soldiers in the border?" Zhou Jieyu said embarrassedly.

Ye Qingyan listened to the whispers of the two of them and knew who the concubine on the stage was, the beauty Wan... the niece of the Minister of Rites.

Usually in the harem, he is also a very peaceful person. He does not show off his work and will not fall to the end. He is a person who knows the doctrine of the mean. Among the foreign wives who come today, there is also Mrs. Zhu, the wife of the Minister of Rites.

Ye Qingyan looked at Mrs. Zhu, and saw that her gaze was soft, and the intimate gaze of the younger generation looked at the concubines on the stage, and I thought she had recognized her.

Zhu Qing, the Minister of Rites, was promoted to the prime minister's faction. Later, after he rebelled against the Yan Dynasty, he was relieved to relieve the people he promoted, especially the important officials in the court. However, Xiao Changqi did not touch these people and still allowed them to fulfill their loyal duties in their own position.

He just believed that these people were not Ren Ran’s minions?

Ye Qingyan leaned on the phoenix bed, his mind was a little erratic, so he didn't listen to the solo of Wan Meiren's pipa. It might be her music that did not resonate with her.

It was not until everyone's applause that she came to her senses and clapped her hands and praised, "Okay, Jinglin enjoyed the flowers."

After Meiren Wan thanked her, she sat down next to Zhou Jieyu, took off the veil on her face, revealing a beautiful face. She was even more beautiful than Zhou Jieyu and Zhuang Xiuyi.

Ye Qingyan looked at her face and sighed, "What a beautiful harem."

...

In the imperial study, Xiao Changqi handled government affairs and could vaguely hear the songs, dances and music from Wanchun Palace.

Gong Cheng would occasionally look outside the hall, and then secretly look at Xiao Changqi... and his eyes were silent.

Xiao Changqi said to Gong Cheng: "Can Yue Ling be in the duty room?"

"Back to your Majesty, General Yue has been training troops outside the city, not in the capital."

"Tell him to enter the palace."

"Yes, I'll do it now." Gong Chengxing retreated.

Xiao Changqi held the pen and dipped it ink and continued to review the memorials, not attracting distractions for those music that came in vain.

After the talent show, Ye Qingyan looked at all the concubines, especially the vase in front of them, and even the worst concubines performed, there was also a flower in the vase.

"Your Highness Jinghui, the Third Princess, will help us perform the talents to count the flowers. The one who gets the most will be rewarded."

Min-young responded with a smile: "Okay, I'll count the flowers."

The one who spent the most in the end was Zhuang Xiuyi. Her piano was really good and deserved. The second was Zhang Ronghua, whose zither was better than what Ye Qingyan heard last time, and she definitely took a lot of thought. The third place was Zhou Jieyu, who was dressed as a man, which impressed people a lot.

The top three are Zhuang Xiuyi, the only one who is the Jin rank, who is promoted from Xiuyi to Concubine and Zhuang Concubine.

The other two people also rewarded them, and they could call for a reward by name.

Zhang Ronghua asked for a bottle of jade-based Xueyan cream.

Ye Qingyan was stumped because the jade-grade snow-colored ointment had been taken away by Xiao Changqi, and there was no eunuch. She usually did not leave jade-grade snow-colored ointment. If she asked Xiao Changqi for it, he would probably not give it to it. Because these martial arts people now do not like jade-grade snow-colored ointment. If she wanted it again, she would be disappointed.

"Zhang Ronghua, this reward may have to be replaced. The owner of Yipin scent shop died unexpectedly, so Yipin scent will no longer be available. Even the lotus-based Xueyan ointment is nothing, and the eunuch is fine."

As soon as the news came out, everyone was surprised that the first-grade balm was gone?

Minying likes Yipin balm very much. When she heard that there would be no more, she immediately showed a pity. "These days, the manager asked the balm to buy balm. They always said that the balm shop closed and thanked the customers. It turned out that the owner was gone. It was such a pity."

Ye Qingyan said: "That's true. If Zhang Ronghua wanted lotus-grade snow-face cream, I can reward you."

Zhang Ronghua hurriedly replied: "Thank you, Empress, even lotus products are OK."
