She came here today to make things difficult for Gu Yan and make her lose face in front of the various families in the capital. Unexpectedly, she was not good at getting off the battlefield. She just said a few words and asked Gu Yan to come back. It seems that she has come up with a trick and has to start from that aspect.

Tao Muwan didn't care whether Gu Yan was talking to the ladies, shook her handkerchief and smiled: "I heard that the princess is talented and knows everything. Why don't she show us a skill today? Look at the princess's talent and make us more knowledgeable. How about it?"

How? No! She is not skilled, what talent does she show?

Gu Yan's smile did not change, and she turned her head to look at Tao Muwan, "No interest."

Tao Muwan continued with a smile: "The princess is joking. Today is the old lady's birthday. Let's come to congratulate me. No matter how much the princess says, it should give some face? Just treat it as a teaching and teach us, how?"

Joke? She just said three words, and she was just joking?

Pass on art? Have you given me some money? Pass on art!

Gu Yan was speechless. She had never seen someone so impatient to be slapped in the face. Did she just think that she was not good?

If she loses, she will follow Tao Muwan's wishes. Then she will mock her talent and talent for being false. If she wins, she will laugh.

Tao Muwan will definitely not let her perform alone, and other aristocratic ladies will also let her fall into the water. If she wins, she will definitely offend these ladies and make them look bad in appearance.

Two years ago, she slapped young talents in the entire capital in the face. Now she wants to continue slapping the ladies of various families in the face? Do she want her to become the public enemy of the Wei Dynasty? This idea is really vicious!

But, haha, does she care? If she cared, she wouldn't have done that two years ago, and wouldn't have slapped all young talents in the capital in the face. Now, she cares even more. So what if they offended them? How many people dare to offend her? If they get angry, they have to hold it in my princess.

Gu Yan narrowed her eyes and showed a bright smile.

Tao Muwan, who had been staring at Gu Yan, didn't feel that this bright smile made people feel warm. She felt that Gu Yan's smile was so cold that it made people tremble. The hairs behind her stood up, and she felt a sense of danger approaching her.

"Forget it, since Miss Tao is interested, then let it go. Although the guests are as good as the host, you can't be too slow to be with the guests. Miss Tao tells me, what do you want to do?"

Gu Yan asked "What do you want to do" instead of "What do you want me to perform". These two sentences are very different and the meanings are different. People who understand can understand it as soon as they hear it, and Gu Yan was a little angry.

When Tao Muwan heard Gu Yan agreeing to show her talent, she immediately became excited. She threw Gu Yan's smile that made her body cold, and immediately said, "I heard that the princess knows everything, we have read all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, songs, and essays. We also know that we are inferior to ourselves. However, we girls cannot rely on those things to establish the world. We still need to have a good embroidery skills to better serve our husbands and parents-in-law after marriage. Princess, what do you think?"

Gu Yan smiled happily and nodded, "What you said... is really far away. I haven't thought about those."

After saying that, Gu Yan glanced at Tao Muwan with a meaningful look.

I just wanted to get married when I was in the hairpin. How much do you hate marrying? Isn’t you afraid of laughing at me?

Tao Muwan gritted her teeth and knew that she had made up her words, but now that things have come to this point, she has no other choice but to go all the way to the darkness.

She didn't believe it anymore. Gu Yan, a vulgar martial artist, could still be a female hero? Hasn't she been on the battlefield? Since she has been on the battlefield, she must like to dance with swords and guns. How could such a woman embroidery skills? She must be not interested in those things, so she will definitely not be able to show off her embroidery skills.

Gu Yan looked at Tao Muwan with a blushing face and shook her head secretly.

Naive girl! She really thought she couldn't? If she could show off her embroidery skills, wouldn't she just slap herself in the face? Why was she so impulsive and didn't investigate it in advance before she harmed people? She was too self-righteous, right?

"Are you sure?"

Seeing Gu Yan asking her again, Tao Muwan was even more sure that Gu Yan could not embroider, and of course she would not let her go. She quickly nodded and said, "Of course, we also have embroidery experts here, and I can do it a little, why don't we compare?"

Gu Yan raised her eyebrows and glanced at Tao Muwan, then looked at the others present.

"Are you interested?"

Everyone looked at each other and nodded. Obviously, they wanted to compete, or they were a little angry with Gu Yan's excellence. They wanted to surpass her in one aspect. As long as they won and pass the results of this competition, their value would immediately rise. It would be not easy to surpass Gu Yan. This opportunity cannot be missed.

Gu Yan's face, which had a little smile just now, was now filled with ice.

All of them are the same, they all want to step on her, okay, since you stretched out your face and asked me to hit me, then I'm not polite.

Gu Yan was about to ask someone to arrange it, but saw Liu Jia rolling her eyes while shaking the veil, "Don't! I'm not proficient in that thing. You guys are better than you, I won't participate. Letting me sit there embroider the veil will undoubtedly kill me. You guys compare yourself."

Yao Huijie stretched her waist indifferently, yawned, and asked, "Sister Yan, I'm sleepy, find me a place to sleep for a while."

Gu Yan finally felt relieved. No matter what others did, these two friends in the boudoir did not want to step on her, which made her very happy.

"Okay, I'll let Kikuka take you to rest."

Gu Yan attracted Juxiang and asked her to guard Yao Huijie without leaving any mistakes in the chaos.

Juxiang took Yao Huijie and the two maids beside her down. Liu Jia also retreated to the edge of the pavilion. Before leaving, she looked at her worriedly, and retreated with Gu Yan's eyes comforting.

Gu Yan glanced at the rest of the people, and there were also a few young ladies who were not good at embroidery and didn't want to be embarrassed. They used the excuse to go to change clothes and left the pavilion. The rest seemed to be trying to step on her, and there were also many candidates for the daughter-in-law that Tang had liked.

"It's really a big deal!"

Gu Yan was about to speak, but unexpectedly, another cold voice inserted into her first step.

Gu Yan looked up and saw a woman wearing a light green dress with a beautiful and square face standing up, looking at everyone, and a hint of disdain flashed quickly in her calm eyes.

"I don't know Princess Huairou. It's the first time I met today. I heard that she is very powerful, she is good at playing music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and she is not inferior to men when riding a horse and urging. Such a woman is the pride among women. I don't understand. As a woman, why do you reject her so much?

What she did make you so dissatisfied. Is it possible to try my best to harm her? Will stepping on her to get to the top of your heart satisfying? What are the benefits for you to fall into a trough? In addition to making those men look down on us women, are there any other consequences?

Humph! Princess Huairou has given women a certain status at home and no longer has to live in the back house with timidity. She is a benefactor to each of us women. How can you treat her like this?"

Tao Muwan sneered, "Who are you? Do you want to please Princess Huairou like this?"

The woman looked down at Tao Muwan and smiled, "I said, I don't know the princess, and I have never seen her before, and I have asked for anything. I'm just unfair. I don't like your styles. I have to rely on her to gain a foothold in her husband's house and parents' house, and to step on her to take over her. It's really disgusting!"

"You! Too much."

"How can you say that? It's just a small competition. How can we say that we seem to be a vicious woman?"

"That's right, he is just the daughter of the second wife of the Duke of the Guguo Mansion. He dares to offend us. He is overestimating his ability."

"It turned out to be her! I heard that she died of her mother, and her father didn't like her. Later, Ke's younger brother was in poor health and was a disaster star!"

"Is it a broom star? Why did Dingyuan Hou Mansion invite her too?"

"She is also the lady of the Duke of the Guardian family, and Dingyuan Hou Mansion has a good chance to invite her."

"It was not what Dingyuan Hou Mansion invited her, but she came by herself with the wife of the Duke of Guru. Duke of Guru has no daughter and looks at the niece of the second wife as if she had already seen her clothes. She didn't see her clothes, she was better than us."

....

Gu Yan took a closer look and found that the daughter of the second wife of the Duke of Guru's Mansion was indeed dressed well, and she didn't seem to be helpless.

But she heard from her mother that the house in the Duke of Guarding is not peaceful. Even if the Duke of Guarding and his wife are protected, she will not be able to live a peaceful life.

Gu Yan didn't quite understand why Cheng Yanrong spoke for her and what purpose did she have?

To please her? No, she has arrogance in her eyebrows and eyes, and she disdains to please others. Such people will fight for what they want and will not use this method to obtain it.

Why? Could it be that it is just a simple fight to stand up for the injustice?

Cheng Yanrong turned a deaf ear to their comments and walked calmly to Gu Yan and saluted her.

"If the princess doesn't dislike it, I can play for the princess. Isn't it just embroidery? What's so great about it? Even if I can't win everyone, I won't lose too ugly."

Gu Yan looked at Cheng Yanrong and smiled, "Thank you."

Gu Yan did not refuse, she wanted to see what Cheng Yanrong's purpose was.

Cheng Yanrong looked at Gu Yan in surprise.

She thought that Gu Yan's temper was disdainful to help, so she only asked tentatively, but unexpectedly, Gu Yan would agree with her and allow her to help.

Seeing that Gu Yan had no intention of participating, Tao Muwan was even more sure that Gu Yan could not embroider, so how could she let Gu Yan have the opportunity to embarrass her?

Tao Muwan sneered, "You represent Princess Huairou? Why do you represent her? Are you also the princess? Haha, it is better to say that we want to step on the princess to take office, and that person is you. The princess didn't say that she couldn't embroider and wanted you to stand up! If you want to participate, you don't have to find a reason."

Cheng Yanrong was also unwilling to give in, "I said I was not interested. I couldn't stand you bullying people. No matter whether the princess can do it or not, it is not something you can question whether I can represent the princess. The one who has the most say here is Princess Huairou."

As Cheng Yanrong said, everyone looked at Gu Yan, wanting to know if she would participate, and even more wanting to know if Gu Yan could embroider.

Gu Yan glanced at Tao Muwan coldly, "Although I hate participating in such meaningless competitions, I don't need anyone to help with this little thing. Miss Cheng, you have the will to go to the general's house for tea when you have time."

Cheng Yanrong and everyone were shocked. They didn't expect Gu Yan to be able to embroider. Since she did, why didn't she agree? Do you really want to participate in the competition? Even if someone else is talking about it behind the scenes, don't you care?

Tao Muwan stared at Gu Yan with gritted teeth, and then glanced at Cheng Yanrong with resentment.

You guys wait, wait until I win the competition and you have some good looks.

Tao Muwan had already started to fantasize about winning the competition and trampling Gu Yan under her feet. The feeling of being above and above made her feel much better, and she unconsciously showed a proud smile.

Gu Yan only glanced at Tao Muwan indifferently, and then asked Gu Fei and Gu Ying to prepare the cloth and needlework. She pulled Cheng Yanrong to sit aside and started chatting with Liu Jia.

As time passed, half an hour passed. Everyone waited for a long time but didn't see Gu Fei and Gu Ying. Instead, they waited for the mother Zhao next to Tang.

"Prince, the emperor is here. The emperor heard that you are going to compete with all the ladies for embroidery, so he specially asked you and all the ladies to move to the side hall. He wanted to see who has excellent embroidery skills."

Gu Yan was stunned for a moment, and when he heard Emperor Wen of Wei arrived, he couldn't help but frown.

What did he do? Why don’t he come to Dingyuan Hou Mansion to join in the fun of the palace? Today, the old Qu family celebrates his birthday, and Emperor Wen of Wei is here in person. If you look back, you won’t be able to get up?

Gu Yan felt a little ache and was dissatisfied with Emperor Wen of Wei's whim.

No matter how dissatisfied you are, you have to go. Even if you come, you can't let him go back?

Gu Yan led a group of ladies from aristocratic families to the side hall. When she arrived outside the side hall, she saw Mo Xiang standing at the door waiting for her.

Gu Yan asked Juxiang and Shuxiang to take the other ladies in first and walked to Moxiang's side.

"What's going on?"

Mo Xiang whispered: "The Emperor is here to find the master. I heard that the Ministry of Works supervised the construction of the chariots was not going well. I wanted the master to go and see it. As soon as the emperor went on a patrol in a condom, he rushed to Dingyuan Hou Mansion."

Gu Yan nodded, "Who else besides the emperor?"

"It's gone, the emperor brought out the two guards, and the two guards, who also knew each other, and were the eldest and seventh aunties."

Gu Yan's mouth twitched, causing great headaches for Emperor Wen of Wei's willfulness.

"You go and transfer a few secret guards to come over and escort the emperor back to the palace later."

"The master has already arranged it. It is inconvenient for Wei Yi to stay here, so Qingxuan has to go."

Gu Yan was stunned for a moment when she heard Qingxuan's name, and after a while, she realized that Qingxuan Mo Xiang was talking about was Yang Yaru, the sister of the God of Death, Yang Huaijin.

Qingxuan entered the mansion two years ago and said that he wanted to be a maid for Tang, but Tang had enough people around him, so he let her hide in the darkness and acted as Tang's exclusive secret guard like Youming. He usually didn't see anyone, and only when Tang was traveling, he acted as a maid and followed Tang's side.

Seeing that Gu Yan didn't say anything for a while, Mo Xiang knew that she was thinking about who Qingxuan was. She didn't remind Gu Yan, anyway, her master would remember it in a while, so there was no need for her to talk too much.
