Reborn to marry the emperor, I just want to confuse the emperor and seize the throne

As night fell, the lanterns all around were gradually lit up, and with the arrival of the Emperor and Empress, the Mid-Autumn Banquet officially began.

Xie Shang and Jiang Fenghua sat in the main seat not far from the emperor and empress. Several ladies from the East Palace sat not far from them. The other concubines in the harem also sat on the other side of the emperor and empress. The surrounding areas were filled with civil and military officials and their families.

The ceremonial officer shouted, "The Mid-Autumn Festival Banquet officially begins, music begins..."

The banquet hall would naturally be opened by the dancers and musicians from the palace, followed by the people who had signed up to perform on stage. Among them, in addition to the concubines from the palace, there were also noble ladies from the official families. The entire program would probably take until late at night.

The palace maids and eunuchs also began to serve the dishes one after another. Exquisite dishes were brought out one by one, and fine wine was brought to everyone.

As soon as the song was finished, following a loud shout from the ceremonial officer, another minister stood up to send their blessings to the emperor and empress, the crown prince and the crown princess.

Next, the emperor and the prince raised their glasses to return the toast, and after all this, the talent competition began.

The first person to appear was Concubine Zhao, who led the girls of the Zhao family to play the pipa. She actually listened to Concubine Yan's advice, thinking that only in this way could the uniqueness of the girls of the Zhao family be reflected.

The pipa ensemble also tests everyone's coordination. The fact that there is no messy sound shows that Concubine Zhao has led everyone to practice together a lot. However, it lacks passion and makes people feel soft, so there is no objection to the ensemble.

It's like Concubine Zhao is sitting in the middle, with the girls of the Zhao family sitting on both sides, and then she is trying her best to sell products to everyone. There are even people who are trying to take advantage of the situation and make themselves familiar to everyone, so the effect is even worse.

However, the song still received applause from the whole audience, and someone boasted, "Empress Zhao is indeed a pipa expert, it's wonderful!"

"The girl from the Zhao family is indeed the one brought up by Concubine Zhao. A good teacher produces a good student!"

The woman from the Zhao family kept throwing flirtatious glances at the prince, as if she was afraid that the prince couldn't see her.

Jiang Fenghua and Xie Shang glanced at each other with tacit understanding and felt awkward.

Jiang Fenghua picked up the wine glass, hooked her lips and clinked the cup with the prince's, "It's the Mid-Autumn Festival, the moon is full and the family is reunited, I offer a toast to Your Highness."

Xie Shang had never had a serious drink with Jiang Fenghua, and he didn't know if she could drink well. He raised his eyebrows and said, "It's the full moon on Mid-Autumn Festival, a beautiful time. I wish you a long life, and we can enjoy the beauty of the moon together even though we are thousands of miles apart."

The sudden love words made Jiang Fenghua's face blush slightly.

Song after song was played on the stage, and Jiang Fenghua and Xie Shang drank one cup after another. What surprised Xie Shang was that Jiang Fenghua drank so many cups without changing his expression. Although it was fruit wine with a low alcohol content, he felt a slight heat on his body.

Thinking of how he always lost control of himself after drinking, he didn't dare drink more. He held her hand, leaned close to her ear and whispered a few words in a low voice, which made Jiang Fenghua chuckle with her hands covering her mouth.

At this moment, the atmosphere around them suddenly became lively, and the couple looked towards the stage at the same time.

A graceful woman in red came on stage, her face covered with veil, a pair of beautiful peach blossom eyes captivating, her waist as soft as a willow, and twisting like a water snake, showing how flexible her body is. Her neck and shoulders seemed to be folded, and she danced barefoot with silver bracelets on to the beat.

Zhu Zhenzhen chose to perform the water snake dance because dancing is one of her talents. She heard that the Crown Princess is an excellent dancer, so she wondered what the Crown Prince would think of her dancing.

From the expressions of the people present, she knew that she would become famous with just one dance. Everyone at the scene was stunned. As she danced, they opened their mouths wide and drooled, marveling at her.

Xie Shang stared at Zhu Zhenzhen, who was wearing a veil on the stage, and didn't recognize who she was at all. He just thought she was posing in a coquettish manner.

Jiang Fenghua naturally recognized Zhu Zhenzhen. He didn't expect that Zhu Zhenzhen's body was so flexible and that she could dance such a difficult dance. She usually seemed taciturn, but he didn't expect her dancing skills to reach such a level. It's a pity that such a dance is only suitable to be performed behind closed doors for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to watch.

Jiang Fenghua had revealed much more in front of Xie Shang before, almost covering only the important parts, but she was hiding in the room alone, and even seduced Xie Shang unintentionally and deliberately.

As a lady of the Eastern Palace, Zhu Zhenzhen is not suitable for dancing the water snake dance, because the water snake dance is to imitate the flexibility of the snake. If she wears too much, she will look bloated and ugly, so the requirements for the dress are very high, and it must be worn close to the body to dance out the flexibility of the snake.

Xie Shang was also staring at the person on the stage. At this moment, he seemed to recognize who she was. He clenched his fingers and just wanted her to finish dancing quickly. Fortunately, Zhu Zhenzhen was wearing heavy makeup and a veil.

He recognized her because of her special eyes.

Zhu Zhenzhen on the stage saw that the prince was staring at her closely, and she thought she had succeeded. She twisted her waist faster and faster, soft and boneless, as if she was really a beautiful snake.

Jiang Fenghua looked at Xie Shang quietly. Was he so nervous because he was afraid that Zhu Zhenzhen would bring shame to the royal family, or was he attracted to her?

At this moment, Zhu Zhenzhen on the stage felt a pain in her abdomen, and something seemed to be flowing out of her lower body, as if she had her period.

But her stomach hurt more and more, and she could hardly bear the pain, so she fell to the ground in the center of the stage.

At this time, everyone was shocked. Why did he fall?

Zhu Zhenzhen's maid also ran up quickly, "Miss, what's wrong with you?"

Then Xie Shang took two steps at a time onto the stage, pulled the clothes held by the maid and covered Zhu Zhenzhen with them, then carried her off the stage and said in a deep voice, "Call the imperial physician."

The prince moved very quickly, and Zhu Zhenzhen did not take the initiative to announce her name when she came on stage, so no one knew who the dancer was. She deliberately covered her face with a veil, probably preparing to make a stunning appearance at the end of the dance, but she didn't expect something to go wrong suddenly.

As soon as Xie Shang left with the person in his arms, the ceremonial officer could not let the banquet become dull, so he quickly asked the next person to come on stage to perform: "Please invite Qin Yunyan, the daughter of Quanzhou Prefect Qin, to come on stage to show her talent."

The empress couldn't stand the emperor and left without knowing when. The emperor was also a little confused. Concubine Ya was accompanying him attentively. However, the emperor was sitting in the main seat in the middle, so he naturally couldn't lose his composure in such an occasion. He only knew that the person dancing should be the lady of the East Palace, otherwise the prince would not take the initiative to go on stage and take her away.

Jiang Fenghua also followed Xie Shang.

Qin Yunyan didn't expect that the prince was not in the main seat after she went on stage. Everyone was still in shock because of the incident with the last woman who performed the dance, and no one had recovered yet, so her performance was naturally ignored.

As soon as she finished playing the piano, there was not even a hint of applause. She felt angry, thinking that she was the most beautiful woman in Quanzhou, but no one took her seriously.

What's going on?

If she hadn't missed the time to enter the palace, would she still have to go to so much trouble to go on stage and show her talents to attract the attention of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?

Rumor has it that the Crown Princess is so stunningly beautiful, but today she looks just like that.
