"The minister is here"

Chu Yingxue walked in from outside the hall wrapped in a light blue cloak.

Her hair was loose and tied with two colorful silks. Her body was frail and she was trembling slightly.

I don’t know whether it was excitement or guilty conscience.

"Your humble servant Chu Yingxue pays respect to Your Majesty and the Queen Mother."

"I have choreographed a dance to present to Your Majesty and Your Majesty. I just went to the side hall to change my clothes."

Chu Yingxue lowered her head so low that she missed the brilliant talent and her face turned pale instantly.

Quan Yanshu stared at the person kneeling in the center of the hall in disbelief, then shifted his gaze to Chu Yizhao with difficulty, his eyes filled with extremely complicated emotions.

Shock, confusion, anger and even a bit of sadness.

He wanted to say something, but felt like his chest was being pressed down by a huge rock.

He admitted his mistake himself...what can I say?

Thousands of words were stuck in my throat.

The body seemed to lose weight, like a feather, slowly sinking into endless mud and algae.

Quan Yanshu's absent-minded look was clearly seen by a pair of eyes from above.

Noticing the gaze, Chu Yizhao looked back at Shen Ni who was sitting on the Phoenix Throne. The latter had her eyes downcast and was not looking at her.

Chu Yingxue was still kneeling.

Emperor Yuan An was not very happy, but it was common for noble ladies to change their costumes when performing, so he did not make a fuss about it.

"Now that you've changed your clothes, come jump in and take a look."

"Yes"

Chu Yingxue stood up and lifted her cloak.

The light blue cloak fell down, revealing a body wrapped in silk clothes. Large areas of skin were exposed, all white.

The huge palace fell silent in an instant.

Quan Yanshu clenched his fists immediately and frowned.

When people saw the person's dance skirt clearly, there were gasps and discussions in the quiet hall.

"hiss…"

“This skirt is not…”

"Whose girl is this, so brave?"

"Isn't she paired with Quan Yanshu..."

The faces of the people on the high seats all changed. Many people who knew the situation secretly observed the expressions of that person. Wei Yu looked at Shen Ni with worry in his eyes.

Even Qi Heng's expression changed slightly.

Chu Yingxue was still unconscious. She raised her hands and bent over, swaying her waist and arms to the music. She lifted her jade feet lightly and leaned back, dancing gracefully with her clothes fluttering and her skirt fluttering in the wind.

Chu Yingxue's dance was not very good, at least not as wonderful as Concubine Wu's Feixu dance.

But Emperor Yuan An was just fascinated by the beauty. What was different from others was that there was no greed and confusion in his eyes, but they were filled with vague nostalgia.

Chu Yizhao held up his face and looked at it.

Empress Chenfei was good at dancing when she was young and she would perform at every banquet. The Startling Bird Dance was her original creation.

It is said that when Concubine Chen entered the palace, the first dance she performed for Emperor Yuan An was the Jingque Dance.

Unfortunately, it only happened once in her life. Later, the Concubine Chen broke her ankle and could no longer dance. The Empress Dowager was also at odds with the Concubine Chen, so no one dared to cause trouble in front of these two.

This was an old story and not many people knew about it. Chu Yizhao overheard it from the Empress Dowager by chance.

Some time ago, hearing that Chu Yingxue was looking for a clever trick, she went to find the old nanny from the Music Bureau and asked her to teach Chu Yingxue the Sparrow Dance for a large sum of money.

The first dance of his beloved, even if Chu Yingxue danced like shit, Emperor Yuan An would still praise it like a flower.

As soon as the dance was over, Emperor Yuan An immediately clapped his hands in approval, and two wrinkles on his face were reduced with joy. Shen Ni also smiled, clasped her hands together and stroked, "Not bad."

The emperor and empress were both happy, and everyone clapped and echoed.

Chu Yingxue was panting from exhaustion. Seeing this, she smiled and glared at Chu Yizhao smugly.

Chu Yizhao clapped his hands and smiled, "Sister's dancing is indeed moving, worthy of being the famous You Er You Fang in the capital."

"Good, good, good," Emperor Yuan An was in a very good mood, "A Ming, you two sisters are really better than each other."

Ming,

Quan Yanshu's eyes moved. The Empress Dowager personally gave her a nickname. She is the fifth lady of the Quyang Marquis's mansion...

Chu Yi Zhao.

Emperor Yuan An took advantage of this momentum and immediately announced that Chu Yingxue's Jingque Dance was the winner of the day. This messy dance overwhelmed Quan Yanshu's Yin Youlan.

Dong Yanwan turned to look at Chu Yizhao, her eyes full of absurdity.

Isn’t it ridiculous? What’s even more ridiculous is yet to come.

The top picks for the young masters and noble ladies were all from the same family. Emperor Yuan An was very excited. He waved his hand and was about to grant a marriage to Chu Yingxue and Quan Yanshu.

"Talented scholar and beautiful lady, Miss Chu, you and Yanshu..."

"Your Majesty! I don't want to!"

A startled shout interrupted Yuan An's words and also broke his mood.

The noisy and bustling palace fell silent, and puzzled eyes turned to the girl standing in the middle.

Emperor Yuan An said coldly, "Do you know what you are talking about?"

Chu Yingxue fell to her knees, feeling the pressure of thunder coming, which made her regretful. She finally had the chance to be the marquis's legal wife, so why should she be given to a scholar without a title or position...

"Your Majesty, I do not wish to..."

"I don't want to marry Quan Yanshu"

"hiss…"

Everyone gasped, but Quan Yanshu breathed a sigh of relief. It was best that she didn't want to.

The woman said that this matter would ultimately damage her reputation and she didn't want to take the blame. She was about to stand up and take the blame when a man suddenly stood up opposite her.

Chu Yizhao stood up suddenly and said, "Sister, what nonsense are you talking about? Young Master Quan is both talented and handsome, and has a graceful demeanor. If you don't want him, who else do you want?"

Chu Yizhao's accusations were like kerosene poured on Chu Yingxue. Who did he want?

She just wants her fiancé!

Chu Yizhao took her place and was proposed to by Qi Heng. Why should she marry an unknown person even though she had the ability?

Thinking of Qi Heng, Chu Yingxue became even more annoyed.

Even when that beast Yuwen Feng was in bed with her, he knew to say a few nice words to coax her.

But after Qi Heng took off his clothes, he was still muttering that Chu Yizhao was his wife and she was his concubine.

Chu Yingxue's eyes suddenly turned blood red.

She wants to see what happens after today.

Who is the wife and who is the concubine? !

"Your Majesty, this subject and Prince Qi Heng are in love with each other. I beg Your Majesty to grant us our blessing!"

The resolute and determined voice echoed in the main hall. Chu Yizhao just wanted to applaud her. She was so courageous and her true love was invincible.

Before, she was afraid that Chu Yingxue would be concerned about Chu Yunyu and wanted to ask the prince for him. Who knew that she was kneeling here and almost forgot who Chu Yunyu was.

After a dead silence, Emperor Yuan An slammed the table in anger.

"presumptuous!"

"Your Majesty, calm down."

There was the rustling sound of clothes, and everyone knelt down to apologize.

Chu Yingxue fell to the ground trembling, not daring to say a word about the couple she was talking about.

In silence, Shen Ni slowly spoke,

"If you don't want to, why do you want to exchange engagement cards with others?"

"The Quan family is an important official, how can you tease them casually?"

Her voice was very flat, and no emotion could be heard.

Chu Yingxue gritted her teeth and replied, "It was my aunt...my aunt made the decision without telling me, and I didn't know about it..."

Her aunt was the wife of the Marquis of Quyang, Chu Yizhao's mother. Chu Yizhao refused and said angrily,

"Aunt? How dare you put the blame on my mother..."

"Father and mother, you treat me as your own daughter, and your brothers treat me as their own sister. You eat and use better things than I do. What else can you not be satisfied with?"

"Your parents passed away, and your mother still wanted to recognize you as the sixth daughter of the Quyang Marquis's mansion. How dare you blame her?"

"If you didn't have a reputation for being quiet and fragrant, you wouldn't even be able to be Quan Yanshu's concubine, let alone his wife!"

What Chu Yizhao said was harsh, but it was true.

This expressed the thoughts of Emperor Yuan An. Seeing the talent he held so dear being treated so badly, he wanted to chop off the little girl's head.

Chu Yizhao spoke loudly and aggrievedly, with a stubborn face and tears about to fall, looking very pitiful.

The Chu family wanted both? Then she had to find a way to expose these dirty things.

After hearing what happened at the Marquis of Quyang's mansion, everyone was confused and disgusted.

"I have heard of this. My cousin wears gold and silver, but the real legitimate daughter wears plain clothes and doesn't even have a hairpin."

"This Marquis' wife is also confused. No matter how much she likes her in-laws, she can't let her own daughter suffer."

"I heard that this cousin had an affair with Chu Si, but who knew that she got a curse halfway through and was pushed out for marriage."

"I...I...you are slandering me!"

Chu Yingxue angrily asked who said this and why people always talked about her and Fourth Brother.

That's her brother!

She is the real young lady of the Marquis's Mansion!

Chu Yizhao and the discussions were like a stick that made her head confused and a surge of resentment arose in her heart.

Killed...

Kill Chu Yizhao!

Kill Chu Yizhao!!
