Chapter 76: Drumming Formation
The ministers and officials were toasting each other, chatting and laughing, it was a lively scene. Bai Yan in particular was congratulated repeatedly by his colleagues around him, and he felt a little dizzy with praise.

At this time, Chu Yingruo received a message and stood up, "Uncle Emperor, Yingruo has an idea. Why not take advantage of today's happy day to stop these singing girls from dancing? They keep dancing the same way."

"It just so happens that the girls from the noble and ministerial families are all here today. Why not take this opportunity and let these girls show off their talents if they are willing? It doesn't matter what it is. We can just celebrate for these generals who have worked so hard to protect Dongli."

"Okay!" Emperor Dongli waved his hand and the orchestral music stopped.

"Then just as Xiao Yingruo said, all the girls present here who are willing can come on stage and perform. It's a good opportunity for me to add a jackpot."

Emperor Dongli asked the eunuch beside him to bring the things over. "This is a pair of ice crystal jade bracelets and hairpins. Whoever wins first place in talent later, I will give this thing to her."

After hearing what Emperor Dongli said, many noble ladies in the audience began to get ready.

Opportunities like this are rare.

Even if they are not here for His Majesty's reward, they can take this opportunity to make a name for themselves. Except for a few people, the people who came here today are all of high status. Some people who hope that their daughters can marry into better families are naturally unwilling to miss this opportunity.

"Girls who are willing to participate in the talent show can register by writing their names on the white paper in front of the desk. If there are any items you need, the palace can prepare them for you, which also need to be written on paper."

The chief eunuch began to announce the rules. A piece of white paper was prepared in front of the desk of every woman in every household. Bai Qianxi was no exception, but she had no intention of participating in the talent show.

Although this was a temporary idea, the girls from each household who were preparing to perform immediately started to get busy.

An excitedly grabbed Bai Qianyi's hand and said, "Yier, our chance has come!"

Unlike other families, they had considered this when they came, and they didn't expect that this opportunity would really come. However, even if this opportunity didn't come, she would let her daughter show herself at the right time at the banquet.

Your chance to become famous depends on today!

Being caught by An, Bai Qianyi kept silent and looked down. She was afraid that except for her, everyone else would think that all this was a coincidence.

The talent show soon began, and the ladies gradually came on stage. Due to the hasty preparations, there were some flaws in many places, but fortunately they had a solid foundation in their daily work, so even if there were some unsatisfactory aspects, the merits outweighed the flaws.

soon.

It was Bai Qianyi's turn to come on stage.

She was seen walking towards them in a long ice-blue gown with wide sleeves. Her makeup was so exquisite that it even touched every strand of her hair. Every good feature of her body was magnified infinitely. She was holding a harp in her hands and had a calm and peaceful smile on her face.

Against the backdrop of the rosy glow, she looked like a fairy from heaven as soon as she appeared, instantly stunning everyone.

Bai Qianyi looked at the stunned crowd with a bit of pride on her face. Her careful planning paid off and she found the right timing.

"I am Bai Qianyi, and I am honored to meet your majesty and all the lords. Today, I will perform a piece of music for you called "Moon over the Green Mountains". Your majesty and all the lords, please give me some advice."

Bai Qianyi sat down, and every movement she made showed she was very confident.

The slender jade fingers plucked the strings, and the melodious sound of the piano rang out.

Everyone seemed to see an endless night, the tranquil atmosphere healed their hearts, and occasionally they seemed to hear the cry of kingfishers. The faint moonlight sprinkled through the forest, leaving mottled shadows on the ground...

The ministers were immersed in this wonderful atmosphere, and at this moment, their breathing seemed to have subconsciously become much lighter.

An looked at this scene with pride. This was the good daughter she had taught, and she was able to make her proud!
When the song ended, everyone was still immersed in the lingering sound of the piano.

"This girl's skill in playing the piano is extraordinary. I wonder who her master is?"

It is really surprising that he can play such a meaningful piece of music at such a young age.

The ministers began to discuss it.

Some people even recognized Bai Qianyi's identity and began to congratulate Bai Yan again, "Master Bai, you are so lucky to have such outstanding children. I wonder how you usually teach your children, so let us learn from your experience."

"Thank you for your praise, everyone. However, I usually don't take care of them. It's my wife who takes care of them. It also depends on their own willingness to work hard." Bai Yan said modestly.

Bai Yushu stood with his back straight and his face calm, as if all the praise had nothing to do with him.

"Your Majesty, in my humble opinion, the first place winner of this talent show should undoubtedly be Miss Bai."

One of the ministers stood up and spoke respectfully to Emperor Dongli.

Although he also had a daughter participating in the talent show, her performance was still inferior to that of the white girl.

After one minister stood up, some of the other ministers followed suit.

Emperor Dongli looked at Bai Qianyi in the audience with satisfaction. Not bad, she has such great piano skills at such a young age. It seems that the Bai family is good at educating children.

Since Miss Bai Si has such a sophisticated talent, then Miss Bai Wu must not be any worse.

Emperor Dongli looked in the direction of Bai Qianxi and thought to himself what a pity it was that this little girl was unwilling to go on stage.

Retracting his thoughts, Emperor Dongli spoke loudly, "In this case, I declare..."

"Your Majesty, please wait a moment!" At this moment, a clear voice interrupted Emperor Dongli's words. Emperor Dongli looked down and found that the person who spoke was Bai Qianyi.

"Miss Bai, do you have anything else to say?" Even though his words were interrupted, Emperor Dongli did not seem angry, he just looked at her with a smile.

"Your Majesty, I have a younger sister who has been very smart and beautiful since she was young. Her talent is not inferior to mine." Bai Qianyi said softly and respectfully, "But my sister is usually very quiet, so she has never dared to go on stage. Your Majesty, please give my sister a chance, otherwise I will be unworthy of this reward."

Bai Qianxi raised her head slightly, with a dangerous light in her eyes. This Bai Qianyi really would not give up no matter where she went. Even here, she wanted to cling to herself.

"Good, good, good! I didn't expect you two sisters to have such a good relationship." Emperor Dongli smiled happily. He was a little regretful that he couldn't see Bai Qianxi on stage. Now, the opportunity has come. "In that case, I will agree to your request today."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Bai Qianyi bowed softly, and from an invisible angle, a hint of viciousness flashed across her eyes.

Bai Qianxi, aren't you very powerful? It depends on how you deal with it!

Afterwards, Emperor Dongli found Bai Qianxi with his precise eyes and said with a smile, "Miss Bai Wu, I don't know what you need. I will have someone prepare it immediately."

"Nothing else is needed. Your Majesty just needs to prepare ten drums for me." As soon as Bai Qianxi opened her mouth, everyone was surprised.
