Revenge of the War General's Daughter
TALENT SHOW

As soon as empress Yihua entered the flower pavilion with her three concubines all the girls who had come instantly shifted their attention.

After giving greetings, the girls immediately sat in their respective places – each according to the surname and position that their families hold.

Since the Jiang family was one of the top nobles, they got a seat closer to where the empress and her concubines were.

As the oldest young lady of course Jiang Xiuying got the most strategic position followed by Jiang Xialun and Jiang Xia Yan.

But everyone's gaze was not on the first young lady or the second young lady Jiang, either, but to third young lady Jiang who this time looked stunning even if only by using a simple dress and headdress.

Empress Yihua felt attracted to the young lady of the Jiang family who had been rumored to be trash and always acted silly.

“ I think, the rumors that have been blowing so far are too over – more...”, said Empress Yihua amazed.

“ Sister does not know just how the original nature of the girl..Possibly the first concubine Nuwa can tell...”, said the great concubine Hien smiled cunningly.

The first concubine Nuwa who felt herself being involved by the great concubine Hien could only smile thinly without trying to respond.

At first he was the same as everyone consumed by the rumors circulating in the capital. But, as soon as he saw Jiang Xia Yan directly today, his heart began to hesitate a little about the truth of the rumors.

Seeing empress Yihua and the concubines paying attention to her third sister, silent – silent Jiang Xiuying clenched both hands growled.

“ Just watch out for you Jiang Xia Yan !!!... I will embarrass you today so that you will no longer be able to display your face outside !!....”, jiang Xiuying's mind was full of anger.

If Jiang Xiuying so clearly showed his anger, another case with Jiang Xialun who still looks very calm even though his heart almost exploded seeing how perfect his sister looks this afternoon.

While someone who has taken attention everyone looks relaxed enjoying the snacks presented on the table while enjoying the leaves of – leaves that fall outside the flower pavilion.

“ It turns out that autumn in ancient times is very beautiful. What is this is because many trees grow here and the atmosphere is still natural..”, Jiang Xia Yan dissolved in the charm of natural beauty without realizing the many pairs of eyes looking at him with envy.

Finally the awaited main event – wait came as well. All girls are seen racing – races to display the talent they have in front of the empress.

As usual, Jiang Xialun's appearance became the best. Her melodious voice and flexible dance movements were able to hypnotize everyone.

Even the princes who also witnessed the talent show from a distance also felt that young miss Jiang Xialun was one of the women who deserved to be their wives.

If all the princes were fascinated with Jiang Xialun, it was the case with the second prince Ming Shin who had been busy paying attention to Jiang Xia Yan since then.

“ It turns out that the rumors are true, he is right – has changed now.”, the inner second prince Ming Shin is not happy.

Shouldn't he be relieved that now Jiang Xia Yan would no longer cling to him if he met, but somehow his heart felt disappointed when the girl completely ignored his existence as she was now.

Jiang Xialun who was showing his talent up front was visibly holding back the growl in his heart the several times he glanced at the second prince Ming Shin who was completely indifferent to his appearance.

Precisely the man looked seriously at his third sister from earlier, making the anger in his heart flare up even more.

As soon as the show was over, with a sweet smile and soft words Jiang Xialun began to say

“ Honorable greetings, not the intention of sassy servants. But it would be nice if the third sister of the servant is also given the same opportunity to show her talent here so that all the girls get the same opportunity to obtain a gift from the empress.”, she said, jiang Xialun said with a gentle voice and a humble attitude.

Empress Yihua confirmed Jiang Xialun's remarks. Among all the girls who came there were only three people who had yet to show their talent namely Jiang Xia Yan, Gyo Lien and Tao Mei.

The girl who is good at painting is forced to be unable to appear after her right palm was injured when she fell some time ago.

As for Jiang Xia Yan, he had not experienced anything like the two girls and was now in good health.

Surely it would be very shortsighted for Empress Yihua if she did not let him show her talent, although rumors circulated that the girl did not have any talent at all but she did not believe it just before proving it herself.

“ Jiang Xia Yan..I hope this afternoon you can show your talent here regardless of the rumors that blow outside..”, said empress Yihua loudly.

Jiang Xialun smiled triumphantly inwardly as his tactic to humiliate his third sister went smoothly without him expecting it.

However, after glancing if his third sister remained relaxed made his heart start to restless and not calm considering if many things changed from the girl these past few days.

“ There is no way he will continue to be calm like that ...”, inner Jiang Xialun is anxious.

Hearing the orders of Empress Yihua who wanted Jiang Xia Yan to display her talent, whispered – whispers began to sound boisterous there.

There were some people who were staring at Jiang Xia Yan pitying him because he would be humiliated again in public as usual.

But many also feel happy about the misfortune that overflowed the girl after the beginning she had been able to attract the attention of everyone with her graceful and stunning appearance.

“ What do you think..what do you think – will be shown by the trash girl ?...”, said fourth prince Ming Jun scorned.

“ I think this time he was right – will really humiliate the Jiang family if desperate to perform...”, said third prince Ming Xue in a cynical tone.

“ He has changed a lot, I think he can answer the challenge given by the empress mother today...”, said first prince Ming Zhiting full of confidence.

If the three princes look forward to their respective points of view – each, another case with the second prince Ming Shin.

He remained silent as he observed all of Jiang Xia Yan's – moves, trying to figure out what made the girl a different person now.

Everyone's eyes immediately widened as soon as Jiang Xia Yan advanced forward confidently. After greeting her, she immediately pulled out a golden-colored flute from behind her sleeve.

“ What does he do ?...”

“ Can he play that flute?..”

“ I think this time he will embarrass himself again.”.

Those were some whispers heard from everyone who convinced Jiang Xia Yan to come forward.

However, everyone's mouth was instantly silenced perfectly when Jiang Xia Yan started playing a song with his flute.

The song that was played was so cheerful and energetic that many birds came to surround his body. Birds – small birds and various butterflies – colorful butterflies that surround the body of Jiang Xia Yan as if making the song more alive.

Empress Yihuan and the concubines seemed to be enjoying the song played by Jiang Xia Yan. Likewise with all those who unconsciously participate wiggle the body along with the rhythm of the song.

Seeing his attempt to humiliate his third sister fail miserably, Jiang Xialun and Jiang Xiuying could not help but get angry.

But all that they can only hold in their hearts because if they get out of control the loss is their own.
