Her graceful actions gave rise to a misconception among everyone. No one treated her like a mountain country anymore, but they all regarded her as extremely noble. Her every move was filled with endless charm, and if another two years were to pass, the title of number one beauty in the world would definitely be hers …
Just as everyone was distracted by Dongfang Ning's sudden change in attitude, her cold voice rang out once again.
"Why? Are you still not willing to say?"
"Yes, this servant acted on her own. It has nothing to do with anyone else. Please punish me, Princess Anning …"
"Alright, today is a female garden fair hosted by the Huangfu Family. This princess won't make things difficult for you, so I won't embarrass you, but the empress taught me that I can't lose face for the imperial family."
That's why I can't let you off so easily. How about this, you find the emperor to explain the matter of you cursing me in front of everyone today. Remember, you're looking for the emperor, otherwise don't blame me for being merciless! "
Looking for the Emperor, wasn't that a dead end? But now, no one dared to say anything anymore. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that this Princess Anning wasn't a good person.
Huangfu Yunrou didn't know what would happen if she continued speaking any further, but she had the mama brought back to her seat and had everyone return to their seats to explain the next step of the competition.
Of course, they still wouldn't let Dongfang Ning off the hook.
"Just like in previous years, the first round is about women. The topic of this morning's women's competition will be set by Princess Anning. Princess, please begin."
After Huangfu Yunrou finished speaking, she glanced at Princess Qimeng, her eyes brimming with pride.
"She only knows how to hit, right? Hahahaha!"
Princess Qimeng immediately helped her ridicule Dongfang Ning. Of course, her voice was very soft, but everyone around her heard it.
At this moment, someone answered from the doorway. "What? Princess Anning is going to set a question? I came at the right time to be the referee!"
"We greet the crown prince, Third Prince, the fourth prince, and Lord Left …"
Seeing more than ten men walk in, everyone immediately greeted them. Other than the crown prince and his brothers, the rest were the judges for today's garden party.
When Huangfu Yunrou, Cen Shuang’er, and Qi Meng saw this, they immediately went up to greet him. They were very happy. This was great! The referee was here! They wanted to see how Dongfang Ning would make a fool of herself!
"Everyone, dispense with formalities."
The three princes and a few young nobles walked towards their respective seats. Four of the old men sat at the highest seats in the middle, while the highest seat was reserved for emperors and the like.
After everyone had settled back into their seats, Huangfu Yunrou walked to the center of the stage and said to Dongfang Ning, who was still sitting in the pavilion:
"Please set the question, Princess Anning."
"That's strange. Sister Qi Meng, isn't there a question setting nanny? Don't mess around. What kind of status does Princess Anning have? How can I trouble her to set the question? Don't be willful in this situation!"
The Crown Prince, Yan Wuyou, who was in the distance just now heard that someone wanted Dongfang Ning to set a question. He thought it was just a joke and joked about it, but he didn't expect Huangfu Yunrou to actually want Dongfang Ning to set a question.
"This …" What was she supposed to say? What happened just now had almost caused the noble ladies here to return home.
"Big Brother Crown Prince, it was An Jing who said that the competition was unreasonable. That's why we asked her to set the question. It wasn't Qi Meng who made trouble. Don't wrongly accuse her!"
Yan Qimeng immediately disagreed. It wasn't her fault at all. How could the crown prince blame her?
"Let me say it, first there is this mama who gives the questions …" After that, Princess Anning kicked and injured the Senior Servant during the exam, which was why Princess Anning was the one to set the question. No one else had any objections, so everyone said that was the case, right? "
Huangfu Yunrou seized the opportunity to tell these people about Dongfang Ning's evil deeds. She wanted them to know what kind of evil princess she was.
With that said, the four officials in the judging area looked at each other.
"What the hell is going on?" One of the officials from the Ministry of Rites couldn't help but ask.
"Let me say it. Do you know what is' De '?"
Dongfang Ning stood up in the pavilion and asked a question that no one understood. De, who didn't know what it was?
"Sir Wei is here ~"
At this moment, a message came from the gatekeeper outside. It was Wei Qingxian's father, Prime Minister Wei. It was just a female garden party, what was he here for?
"Marshal Huangfu has arrived ~"
"Princess Cen has arrived ~"
"..."
Why were all of them powerful figures? What were they doing?
The scene greeted each other again. After some pleasantries, Wei Zheng actually sat in the highest seat. The others sat along the seats, but luckily there were enough seats.
When everyone had sat down again, Wei Zheng stood up from his seat. After tidying up the clothes and hats that didn't need a director to begin with, he did not look at any of them. Instead, he cupped his hands and bowed to Dongfang Ning, who was standing in the pavilion:
"Princess Anning, the Emperor said that a woman's talent isn't inferior to a man's. That's why he sent an old official to preside over a fair judgement, while also learning and understanding some of a woman's talents so that in the future, his great Shan Nation will cultivate even more talent."
Once these words were spoken, the entire crowd burst into an uproar once again. Everyone began whispering to each other again. "The talent of a woman sent a Prime Minister to study?"
Of course, they did not know that Dongfang Ning's performance that day to the end of the simple plan to capture Dongfang Ning, was made by the cabinet officials to discuss in secret. Furthermore, the emperor had always said that this woman's talent was too terrifying, and could not be underestimated …
After some discussion, the emperor let them try to learn from Dongfang Ning and learn her way of thinking. When he heard that a woman was visiting the garden today, he directly called the prime minister over as a judge. He felt that the civil and military officials of the imperial court were not as good as a girl, which was very unpleasant, but he had no choice but to admit that they were truly talented.
It could be said that the emperor of Shan Nation was a person who was well aware of progress. Once he had the chance to learn, he definitely would not let it go so easily.
Thus, they all sat up straighter, thinking that if they performed well, they might be able to bring benefits to their family's elders, and might also be recognized by others. It was said that in some countries, there were women serving as officials …
"Everyone, today's female theme park is directly taken over by the authorities, whoever wins today, the women who rank at the top will receive a reward from the palace, so everyone has to fight for it with all your might, this is a great decision made at the last minute by His Majesty Shan Nation, and women can also make huge decisions."
"Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!"
