At this moment, the emperor and the queen entered the hall together, and everyone stood up.

"Today is the Queen's birthday. You don't have to be polite. Let's have fun. Please sit down." The emperor said in a loud voice, and sat on the main seat with the Queen. The Queen also smiled and sat beside the emperor.

Everyone took their seats.

"Today is my birthday. I am very happy to see you. Now, let's start the banquet." After saying that, everyone raised their glasses to congratulate the queen on her birthday. Then the palace banquet began, and first the palace maids performed a show, which was really pleasing to the eye.

The performance ended, and the first to be performed was the eldest prince Jun Lingyun. He was wearing a light yellow robe, and his fat body made him look simple and honest. In fact, the eldest prince's personality was also like that, he had no ulterior motives. Everyone knew that the eldest prince was kind to others and was content with what he had. He was born to the queen from the same mother as the third prince, but his appearance and personality were completely different.

"Mother, this is the ocean pearl that I have traveled all over the four countries to collect for you." The eldest prince presented his treasure. The queen was delighted. Although she had two sons, the eldest son had no intention of becoming an emperor and had no ambition. Although she was not very satisfied with this, fortunately, he was a filial child.

"Mother, I also have a gift for you. This is the red coral that I collected. It is very rare. I hope you like it." The queen also accepted the gift from the second prince Jun Lingxuan with a smile.

Seeing everyone presenting gifts, Lin Qingshuang was the first to present her own.

"Your Majesty, this is a painting I drew for you. I wish you a long life of happiness and prosperity." The Queen couldn't help but praise Lin Qingshuang when she saw her.

"Well, you are a sensible girl. You must be Qingshuang from General Lin's mansion. You deserve the title of the number one talented woman. I like this painting very much."

"I remember your sister was engaged to the Third Prince. Is that girl here? I haven't seen her for several years."

The queen waved to Lin Qingshuang, signaling her to go down.

Lin Qingshuang was very happy to receive the compliment. She said to Lin Qingwan: "Sister, have you prepared a birthday gift for the Queen? If not, I have a calligraphy piece written by me here, I will give it to you as a gift."

She gestured to cover her mouth, and although she was speaking in a whisper, her voice was neither loud nor soft enough to be heard by people around her.

"No need, I'm ready!" Lin Qingwan didn't wait for her to finish, and took a step forward to the middle of the crowd.

"I am Lin Qingwan, paying my respects to His Majesty and His Majesty the Queen. This is Qingwan's birthday gift to the Queen. I made it myself. The effect is very good!" Lin Qingwan presented her gift.

"You are Lin Qingwan who is engaged to Ling Feng. Back then, your father asked the emperor for a marriage. You were still very young at that time, a little girl. Now you have grown up to be very pretty. You are a good girl." The queen did not expect that the ugliest girl in the capital was not as bad as the rumors said. She was quite beautiful. Rumors were indeed unbelievable. At that time, she was dissatisfied with the emperor's marriage when she heard this. Now it seems that they are a perfect match. The queen was very satisfied.

"Your Majesty, Qingwan has sent you a gift. One bottle is a beauty pill, which can make you look younger after taking it, and the other box is a beauty cream. If you apply it every day, it can make your skin plump and elastic. If your Majesty has used them all up, I will send you more."

The queen accepted the gift but didn't care much about it. It was true that she loved beauty, but she didn't quite believe that the effect would be as good as Lin Qingwan said. Everyone had the same idea.

"Lin Qingwan, is the thing you gave me really so effective? If it's not as good as you said, it would be a crime of deceiving the emperor!" Yao Sisi finally got the chance.

"If the effect after Her Majesty's use is not as good as I said, I will ask to be imprisoned!" Lin Qingwan said confidently.

"Okay! You said it! Everyone heard it!"

"Okay, if you've thought about it, you'll know after I use it. Girl, you're quite a daredevil to speak up!" The Queen thought highly of Lin Qingwan.

"Empress, it's your birthday, why not let Qingshuang play a song to cheer you up," Yao Sisi suggested.

"Yes, Madam, Lin Qingshuang's piano skills are unrivaled in Kyoto."

"Yes, the piano skills of the most talented woman are not in vain!"

"Lin Qingshuang, don't refuse. Play a song for the Queen."

Everyone agreed.

The queen looked at the emperor, and the emperor said, "Then let Lin Qingshuang from General Lin's mansion play a song for everyone."

"Father, the Emperor, and mother, the Empress. I am willing to play together to celebrate mother's birthday." The third prince was unparalleled in the world and captured the hearts of all the girls as soon as he appeared on the stage.

"So good!"

Then it was Lin Qingshuang who played the piano, and the third prince played the flute. The two played and played, and their coordination was perfect. The third prince looked at Lin Qingshuang, and his affectionate eyes pierced the hearts of the girls. In the eyes of everyone, the man was talented and the woman was beautiful, they were really a perfect match made in heaven. At this moment, Lin Qingwan seemed so redundant.

After the song was finished, everyone praised it.

"Your Majesty, Lin Qingshuang is truly talented, worthy of being the most talented woman. Why not let Lin Qingwan also show her talent? They are sisters, so they shouldn't be bad, right?" The one who said this was Zhong Yutong, the concubine of the Prime Minister's Mansion. She and Yao Sisi stood aside, looking gloating.

"Yeah, they are sisters, so they shouldn't be bad."

"How about sister also perform the piano?"

"I see, she doesn't know how to do anything. Look at her, she doesn't even talk."

"..."

Everyone was talking about it, looking like they were enjoying the show. In the past, everyone bullied the original owner in the same way. Who made her cling to the third prince? The third prince was the white moonlight in the hearts of many girls.

"Qingwan, since everyone wants to see you perform your talent, why don't you go ahead and do it?" Gu was eager for her own daughter to steal the limelight. There weren't many opportunities to humiliate Lin Qingwan, so she had to seize it.

Seeing that Gu had spoken, everyone became more interested.

At this moment, Lin Qingshuang protected her and said anxiously: "My sister doesn't have any talent. She was sick before and has scars on her face. She doesn't want to see people and has no time to learn these. I have been persuading my sister to learn with me, but she doesn't want to learn. Why don't you let me perform another one for everyone and stop making things difficult for my sister."

Lin Qingshuang protected Lin Qingwan in front of everyone, looking like she was eager to protect her sister, but was she out of her mind? She said she had no talent, and she said she didn't want to learn! She seemed to be speaking for her, but in fact she was telling everyone that Lin Qingwan was unlearned and unskilled.

It's really a green tea and white lotus!

"Lin Qingshuang is indeed the most talented woman. She is so kind and she protects her sister."

"Ah! The elder sister is ignorant and unskillful, but the younger sister still protects her! If I had a sister like this, I would wake up laughing in my dreams."

"That's right. She doesn't seem to appreciate it."

Everyone discussed again, and the conclusion was that she was uneducated and her sister was too kind to protect her and wanted to perform for her.

She didn't even ask for her opinion! Original owner, oh original owner, it's time to slap you in the face! If you are still alive, watch out!

Lin Qingwan pushed Lin Qingshuang's arm away and walked forward, looking down on everything.

"Your Majesty, since everyone wants to see me show off my talent so much, I will show off my talent!"

"Sister, now you're back, you don't know anything! Stop trying to show off, I'll go for you!" Looking at Lin Qingshuang's fake anxious look, Lin Qingwan was happy!

"Sister, I didn't bring anything today. How about letting me use your piano?" Lin Qingwan said to Lin Qingshuang.

"Sister, please use it. You can't play it. My piano was made by the famous master Master Li. Just be careful with it. I will be sad if it breaks!" Lin Qingshuang looked reluctant.

"Don't worry, I'll be careful." Lin Qingwan walked towards the piano amid everyone's mocking gazes!
