"Your Majesty, my concubine is Ye Meiren from Yu Ning Palace." She removed her veil, her eyes were as charming as silk, and a beautiful smile bloomed on her gorgeous face. She was truly a seductive beauty.
"Beauty Ye's dance is excellent and unique. I am very satisfied. Come, come to me." Emperor Yao was very happy and waved to her.
At this time, a strange color flashed across the eyebrows of the queen beside Emperor Yao after hearing this, and she immediately returned to calm.
Concubine Wan remained calm, but she had unspeakable emotions in her heart.
Concubine Yue looked at Ye Meiren who was sitting next to Emperor Yao, and couldn't help but sneered. She sneered disdainfully, "Ye Meiren's dancing posture is simply nondescript, how can she be favored by His Majesty?"
After she finished speaking, everyone in the palace was stunned. Faced with Yue Fei's rude words and actions, Emperor Yao's expression slightly condensed, with a hint of coldness in his eyes, because Yue Fei's words were obviously a slap in his face.
He was sitting on the throne, his body upright, his eyes deep, and his whole body exuded a deep and awe-inspiring aura.
The atmosphere in the hall instantly became tense and solemn.
Although Ye Meiren was very unhappy with Yue Fei's words, she did not show it.
On the contrary, she responded to the Concubine Yue very respectfully: "Concubine Yue is very knowledgeable and has a far-sighted vision. I know that my skills need to be improved and it is difficult to please. I am deeply grateful for your advice and will accept it with an open mind and make corrections." If you have any shortcomings, you will definitely improve your dancing skills in order to live up to your empress's special kindness."
After hearing what Ye Meiren said, everyone cast admiring glances at her. Unexpectedly, she actually behaved humbly and generously in the face of Concubine Yue's deliberate attempts to make things difficult.
A flash of sarcasm flashed through Wei Zhaoyi's eyes. Although Yue Fei had a distinguished status, she was not elegant at all because she came from a barbarian land.
Ye Meiren's words were obviously to praise and compliment Yue Fei, but in fact they were secretly sarcastic and belittling her.Wei Zhaoyi couldn't help but look at Meiren Ye differently.
Emperor Yao was also deeply satisfied with Ye Meiren's answer. He sincerely praised: "I am deeply pleased that Ye Meiren is so humble and knowledgeable."
"Come, have a drink with me." After saying that, he looked sideways and smiled, then picked up the wine glass and handed it to Ye Meiren.
"Concubine, thank you for your compliments. Your Majesty, please!" Ye Meiren took the wine glass respectfully, nodded to Emperor Yao, and drank it all in one gulp.
Hearing Emperor Yao's praise, Concubine Yue felt even more dissatisfied.She stared at Ye Meiren coldly with a fierce look in her eyes.
After Yao Emperor and Ye Meiren toasted and drank together, the atmosphere in the palace became lively again.Some ministers also picked up their wine glasses and toasted to Emperor Yao and Meiren Ye.
At this moment, the second prince at Xi Duan suddenly suggested.
"Father, I think that Beauty Ye's dance is as beautiful as Miss Ning San's amazing dance at the spring banquet. Father, why don't you let Miss Ning perform a song, so that I can feast your eyes again."
After hearing this, Emperor Yao felt a little unfinished. He smiled and looked at the female seat, with some expectation in his eyes, and asked warmly.
"Ning Ziqing, are you willing to give me a dance?"
Ning Ziqing's eyes were startled, and she raised her head to meet the second prince's frivolous look at her. She couldn't help but her eyes turned cold. Just when she was about to speak, Huo Yunjue replied first.
"Reporting to my father, the third lady was hacked on the shoulder by bandits when they were attacked in Jiuxi Mountain. I'm afraid she won't be able to perform the dance."
"Oh? It's been so long and you're still not feeling well?" Emperor Yao was a little disappointed.
"Back to Your Majesty, the Third Miss was deliberately made difficult by Princess Jiarou when she entered the palace today. She was made to kneel under the scorching sun for two hours holding a wooden basin. Princess Jiarou even beat the Third Miss with a wooden stick." Su Yanqi He stood up and bowed to Emperor Yao.
"Her wound that was about to heal has opened again. It's a bit difficult to hold chopsticks now, let alone dance. Please take back your life, Your Majesty."
His tone was a little cold, and his face looked uncertain, but you could hear the dissatisfaction and anger in his voice.
Emperor Yao couldn't help but frowned, slightly surprised. He looked at Su Yanqi and asked.
"How come I don't know about this? Where are the Jiarou people?" Emperor Yao glanced around the palace and did not see Princess Jiarou.
"Your Majesty, Princess Jiarou insisted on walking on the covered bridge with a hornet's nest on her way to Chengqian Palace, and was stung by a wasp. She is currently receiving treatment from the imperial physician in Concubine Qi's palace." Concubine Wan immediately explained.
"This Jiarou is becoming more and more unruly. Since she was stung, let her take good care of her and don't come out to embarrass me." Emperor Yao was a little annoyed, but he did not express his intention to treat Princess Jiarou. carry out punishment.
There was silence in the palace, and no one dared to speak anymore.
"Ning Ziqing, since you are injured, let it go." After a long silence, Emperor Yao moved his body and said to Ning Ziqing disappointedly.
"My dear, thank you for your consideration, Your Majesty." Ning Ziqing stood up and thanked Yao Emperor Fu Shen, with a faint smile on her face, and a trace of fluctuation flashed in her cold eyes.
She glanced indifferently at the second prince in the men's table, picked up the wine glass and took a sip of the drink, the cold and solemn look in her eyes getting stronger.
After the palace banquet, everyone thanked Emperor Yao for their kindness and walked out of Chengqian Palace one after another.
Concubine Wan stopped Ning Ziqing and Su Yanqi at the entrance of the palace, and they bowed their heads to her.
Concubine Wan stepped forward, gently took Ning Ziqing's hand, and said softly.
"I originally wanted to have a good talk with Miss Ning San today, but I didn't expect something unexpected happened. Mr. Qi Lang must bring Miss San with him next time he comes to the palace. I like you as my fiancée very much. , and I hope you can get married soon." After saying that, Concubine Wan put Ning Ziqing's hand into Su Yanqi's and looked at the two of them with a smile, full of joy.
Ning Ziqing was stunned for a moment, but quickly and respectfully replied: "Thank you very much, Concubine Wan, for your kindness. I feel very honored."
"Good boy, if Qi Langjun bullies you in the future, you can just complain to me, I will not spare him."
Concubine Wan's smile was light and soft, and her tone was full of concern for Ning Ziqing and Su Yanqi.
Ning Ziqing heard the deep meaning in her words. She caught a glimpse of Huo Yunjue standing silently by the side, and found that his expression was gloomy, and she couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
"The queen is joking, how could I be willing to bully the third lady." Su Yanqi replied with a smile.
"That's good. I hope you two will be happy." Concubine Wan gently patted their hands and instructed.
"Yes, empress." Ning Ziqing and Su Yanqi replied respectfully.
Only then did Concubine Wan take back her hand with satisfaction, her expression gentle and kind.
"Be careful on the way back." Concubine Wan waved to them, and then left with the support of Grandma Wu.
"Congratulations to Concubine Wan."
Ning Ziqing and Su Yanqi bowed and turned to leave.She raised her head to look at Huo Yunjue, and met his lonely and slightly hurt gaze.She gritted her teeth and tried to control the sadness in her heart, but she still couldn't control the tears in her eyes.
She couldn't wait to rush up to him and ask him what happened.
Su Yanqi noticed something unusual about the two of them, and his eyes became very complicated.Recalling what Concubine Wan said just now, a burst of emotion and helplessness suddenly surged in his heart. Faced with the emotional entanglement between the three of them, he became increasingly confused and uneasy.
"Qingqing, let's go."
Su Yanqi sighed silently, and finally took Ning Ziqing's hand and walked out of the palace.Huo Yunjue silently looked at their retreating figures, with a hint of choking and helplessness in his eyes.
Ning Ziqing let Su Yanqi pull her out of the palace gate, and when she was about to get on the carriage, the second prince suddenly walked in front of them.
"Third Miss's injury is getting better. I have good wound medicine here, and I will have it delivered to your garden later. I also have some good medicine for treating scars, and I will also send it there. If Third Miss has any wounds left on her body, Scar, that would be a pity." The second prince did not regard himself as an outsider at all, and made no secret of his intentions.
His words completely angered Su Yanqi. He blocked Ning Ziqing behind him and said to him coldly.
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness. I have been practicing medicine for many years, so I don't need to worry about Third Miss's injuries. Please respect yourself." At the end of the sentence, his tone became colder and a murderous aura rose in his eyes.
"Su Yanqi, Your Highness is caring about the third young lady, and I haven't done anything to her. You don't want her to have ugly scars on her body." The second prince said without hesitation, arousing the attention of others.
"I don't mind what the third lady does!" Su Yanqi glared at him and clenched his fists.
"Hmph... Su Yanqi, my father has taken a fancy to you, but you have repeatedly rejected his offer to become an official in the court. You are just a young man from a declining family. Do you think you can protect the third lady? I Whatever His Highness likes, you just need to move your fingers a little, and you have to obey obediently. To tell you the truth, His Highness just likes Miss Third and wants to take her as his concubine, what can you do to me!"
The second prince snorted coldly and provocatively said that it was so easy for him to want Ning Ziqing.
"Your Highness, feel free to give it a try!" Su Yanqi's tone was cold, with anger burning in his eyes.His expression was gloomy, covered with a layer of terrifying frost, making people shudder.
"Su Yanqi, I advise you not to toast or eat the fine wine." The second prince approached him, with a dangerous aura on his handsome face.His tone was threatening, making people feel a strong sense of oppression.
Just then, a fist hit him hard on the cheek.He was beaten so hard that he couldn't stand still and took a few steps back. Several guards rushed up and surrounded him with swords drawn.
Blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth. He reached out and wiped it off with his thumb. He stood up straight again and stared at Huo Yunjue who had hit him with gloomy eyes.His handsome face became distorted, full of anger and humiliation.
"Fourth brother, you actually beat me over a woman."
"Second brother, as a prince, you are teasing Miss Third like this. If the father finds out, I'm afraid he will punish you!" Huo Yunjue's expression was cold, his eyes were full of murderous intent, and he was filled with anger. Endless anger may burst out at any time.
"I'm just a woman. Is it worth it for you and Qi Langjun to go against me like this?" The second prince's narrow phoenix eyes were raised slightly, and he did not take the two of them into his eyes at all.
"I want to take a closer look at how you protect her." He smiled contemptuously, raised his hand to signal the guard to take back the knife, turned around and left angrily.
"Your Highness, you just offended the second prince, and he will definitely wait for an opportunity to retaliate against you." Su Yanqi reminded him with a worried look.
"I will be careful. Qi Langjun, please send the third lady back home quickly." Huo Yunjue urged him. When he turned around, he saw Ning Ziqing staring at him indifferently. There was a sharp pain in his heart, as if he was about to tear himself apart. Come on, I can't help but want to rush forward and hug her.
He could only leave in a hurry, avoiding Ning Ziqing's eyes.
After getting on the carriage, Ning Ziqing felt sad, leaning her head to the side, feeling depressed.Su Yanqi sighed softly and comforted softly: "Qingqing, just cry if you want to, it will make you uncomfortable if you hold it in your heart."
Hearing his words, Ning Ziqing couldn't bear it anymore. She bit her lips and cried silently.Su Yanqi took her into his arms and let her vent her inner sadness and grievances.
"Beauty Ye's dance is excellent and unique. I am very satisfied. Come, come to me." Emperor Yao was very happy and waved to her.
