Rebirth: The paranoid war king was controlled by the crazy female protagonist

Day and night alternated, and in the blink of an eye it was the day of the family dinner.

The royal family members were all seated, lights were lit on both sides of the imperial road, and elegant music surrounded them as they walked into the hall.

The hall was decorated with various exquisite decorations, as if it was specially built for this emergency family dinner. The burning sandalwood mixed with the fine wine in the air drifted in the hall.

Everyone was already there, and Eunuch Li shouted, "Welcome Your Majesty——"

Seeing this, the hall suddenly fell silent and everyone stood up to greet him, "Your Majesty—"

Xiao Yanzhou did not wear the orthodox court dress today. His solemn temperament seemed a little casual, but it still could not conceal the majestic aura from the inside out.

"My dear brothers and nephews, there is no need to be so polite. Today is just a family dinner. Thinking that the busy days of recent days have come to an end, we have specially arranged this family dinner to celebrate." Xiao Yanzhou's majestic voice echoed in the hall.

"Everyone, please take your seats."

"Yes, thank you Your Majesty."

After Xiao Yanzhou took his seat, he naturally did not see the person he wanted to see today.

"Jiang Qing, why haven't I seen the young lady yet?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he inadvertently attracted the attention of Xiao Yanqing and Xiao Wenshu, but the two of them just pretended to be calm.

Xiao Yanqing sipped the osmanthus wine in the cup, but his heart was already restless.

Xiao Wenshu's heart began to get agitated. What was going on recently? He hadn't figured out who Jiang Zhuo wanted to marry Qing Yu to yet, but suddenly he heard that His Majesty wanted to meet her at the family banquet.

His brother didn't want to say a word to him. Could it be that Jiang Zhuo wanted to give Qing Yu to His Majesty? !

This terrible thought echoed in Xiao Wenshu's mind, and he could only pray that it was not what he thought.

Jiang Zhuo stood up calmly and said, "Your Majesty, I, your daughter, have made full preparations for your Majesty's cordial invitation today, so I am presenting a dance to your Majesty and all of you."

"Jiang Qing and the young lady are so thoughtful, please come in quickly!" Xiao Yanzhou gestured with his hand and looked towards the door expectantly.

Jiang Zhuo just clapped his hands, and in a moment, ten musicians came into the hall with different musical instruments in their hands and got ready.

There were faint sounds of hustle and bustle in the hall, cheers and expectations, but the sarcastic and derogatory voices were particularly harsh.

"This Lord Jiang is really mobilizing a large army."

"I have put a lot of thought into pleasing His Majesty."

The discussion was not loud, but Xiao Yanqing and Xiao Wenshu who were sitting next to them heard it clearly.

"Wen Shu." Xiao Yanqing reminded as if nothing had happened.

He could already feel Wen Shu's rising anger, and even though he felt the same way, he had to be patient and wait for good news.

"I know, brother." Xiao Wenshu said in a low voice.

Although he was angry, he couldn't cause trouble for Qingyu.

The drums sounded and the whole audience fell silent. Qing Yu, wearing a red and gold dress, stood in the middle with her head down, ready.

Entering gently with the sound of the pipa, she also danced gracefully, letting her sleeves and skirt flow, and wandered among the music with a sweet smile on her face.

Everyone present was looking at her, feeling her uniqueness. Even though most people had seen her dancing in Huanxiang Pavilion, she seemed to have different feelings every time she danced.

In an instant, the ups and downs of the music were joined by a melodious melody, which became clearer and farther away. Her dancing posture also began to change. She jumped and moved, then stopped for a moment, with an increasingly profound smile that gradually moved people's hearts.

As she danced, she gradually got closer and could clearly see the most authoritative emperor above her.

Her eyes flickered with disbelief and shock.

Brother Zhou?! It was him?! He was the Emperor?!

Xiao Yanzhou met her gaze with a smile, as if conveying to her, "We meet again."

After she understood everything, she did not feel panic or fear at all because of his identity, but instead smiled more comfortably and gently.

The music evolved, and the drums sounded again, driving the pipa to become more intense, even penetrating the spirit of the meridians. The dance moves the shawl and the hem of the skirt, quickly and strongly. Every time she looks back and every time she turns around, her power is spreading outwards.

As for those who admired her, they were completely immersed in her dancing.

Until the music slows down, and the last movement, along with the music, stops at the end.

After a moment of stunned silence, everyone recovered from her infectious power. She was clearly just a dancer, but she danced out the spirit of harmony between heaven, earth and man. She was clearly just a young lady, but she danced out the fighting spirit of a prosperous dynasty and a mighty war.

Subconsciously, applause broke out one after another, dedicated to her dancing.

Jiang Zhuo stood up and introduced her to him, his confidence barely concealed in his words, "Your Majesty, this is my daughter, Jiang Qingyu."

She took two steps forward, leaned forward and knelt down to salute, "My daughter Jiang Qingyu pays respect to Your Majesty."

"Jiang, Qing, Yu." Xiao Yanzhou read out her name word by word, especially the last word "Yu".

Qing Yu naturally listened to it, but he didn't know if it would be different with his current identity.

"I wonder what this special dance is..." Xiao Yanzhou asked.

This was completely different from the one he had seen in the Huanxiang Pavilion. It did not have the enchanting charm that captivated the heart, but it had the same appeal that moved people's hearts, perhaps just because the person dancing was her.

"Your Majesty, the battle dance is the charm of the invincible spirit of struggle blended with the light of hope. It is exciting yet elegant."

Xiao Yanzhou thought carefully about what she said, and he felt it.

“Why did you choose this dance?”

She raised her head slightly, met his gaze, then lowered it again and gave her answer.

"The imperial court is the gathering place of wisdom and decision-making, with carved beams and painted buildings, and meticulous decorations. It is most suitable for dance music."

She knelt on the ground and expressed her feelings. Her words sounded serious and solemn, yet she still retained the stubbornness of a little girl.

"Haha." Xiao Yanzhou suddenly laughed out loud.

Everyone's eyes turned to him. It's not that he didn't smile often, but his smile had never been so bright and cheerful.

"Come here." Xiao Yanzhou called softly to her who was kneeling on the ground.

Just when everyone was curious about the purpose of His Majesty calling her, she knelt on the ground with her head down, not moving at all, with no intention of getting up, as if she didn't hear anything.

Even Xiao Yanqing and Xiao Wenshu looked at her in surprise.

Jiang Zhuo was even more anxious and shouted at her in a low voice, "Jiang Qingyu! His Majesty is calling you! Didn't you hear me?!"

She was kneeling on the ground, lost in her own thoughts.

From the moment she saw him, she knew that everything was going according to her plan.

But she underestimated his identity. He was the current emperor, but was this really the best outcome?

The air in the silent hall grew colder, and just when everyone thought that His Majesty was going to get angry, he unexpectedly stood up, walked up to her, and bent down.

To others, the voice was unprecedentedly gentle, "Xiao Yu, what's wrong?"

Hearing his call as usual, she put down her hand and looked up at him.

"You guessed it, why didn't you tell me?" She blinked, feeling aggrieved for being kept in the dark.

"Haha, Xiao Yu is angry?"

She shook her head.

"Get up first." He helped her stand up by holding her arm.

Just as Eunuch Li was about to shout for someone to sit down, Xiao Yanzhou gestured to the seat next to him.

Eunuch Li saw the situation clearly and quickly had people arrange a seat next to His Majesty. Eunuch Li also reacted in astonishment. No wonder she always felt that Miss Jiang looked familiar.

It turned out to be the person His Majesty asked him to find. It turned out that His Majesty had already found him.

He pulled her to sit next to him.

Xiao Yanqing stared at the hand he was holding with her with a chilling look in her eyes.

Just a few words, their natural communication made him realize something.

A surprising question suddenly flashed through his mind: Do they know each other? !
