Just as Queen Cheng caught her breath, she looked at Jiang Fenghua. She did not see any ridicule or mockery in her eyes, but more encouragement.

Thinking about it, she was once the daughter of a noble Duke of Fuguo. She learned music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry and songs since childhood. She was also raised by her parents and later married the emperor. She was also in her prime like them, but wasted half of her life. She only persisted until now because she was betting on her life.

She would never let her son be looked down upon by others. She wanted the emperor to see that she, Cheng Langjin, had once been glorious.

"Madame Xi, go and fetch me my precious harp." The empress looked back at the emperor, "I haven't played it for many years. I'm afraid that my hands may dirty your majesty's ears. Please forgive me."

The emperor looked at her with a burning gaze, "It's okay, with the queen helping out, this family dinner will be a success."

The queen's eyes were slightly cold, but she still had a faint smile on her lips. "As long as Your Majesty feels that it is perfect, it is harmless for me to show my ugliness."

The emperor and the empress fought with swords and swords, and the emperor naturally did not want to lose. "There is no music without the zither, and there is no feast without dance."

The emperor pointed casually and said calmly, "I will let Concubine Ya dance with the Queen."

The queen suddenly sat up and said, "I don't need it."

Without waiting for the emperor to respond, Xie Shang suddenly stood up and bowed respectfully, "Your Majesty, Father."

Because of the queen's attitude, the emperor frowned with impatience and asked in a deep voice, "What's the matter?" He thought Prince Heng wanted to rescue the queen.

"Your son recommends your princess to dance with your mother." Xie Shang's eyes were deep and deep, staring at the emperor, "Your son believes that Fenghua and your mother will play together to make your father feel that this family banquet is a complete success."

After a moment, the emperor's majestic gaze shifted to the queen, "Then let Princess Heng dance with the queen. Will the queen be satisfied?"

The queen walked straight past the emperor, flicked her phoenix robe and left her seat, "As long as the emperor is satisfied." She was too lazy to please him.

The emperor was stunned, and soon a faint smile appeared on the corner of his lips, making it impossible to tell his true emotion.

Xie Shang stared at Jiang Fenghua intently, determined to help his mother win back a game tonight no matter what.

Jiang Fenghua knew that today was not her home court, but the Queen's. She had to avoid the Queen's attention and at the same time not let people underestimate her.

The emperor suddenly came to argue with the queen, probably because he couldn't bear to see the queen happy. Why did the emperor go against the queen in everything?

As soon as the queen sat next to the zither stand in a bright red phoenix robe, everyone's eyes were on her.

At this moment, everyone felt that the queen looked noble and dignified, with a pair of delicate willow-leaf eyebrows, a pair of narrow eyelids, exquisite makeup, and cold eyes, which made people feel that she was awe-inspiring without being angry. Her red lips were sparkling, and at the age of over 40, she was still peerless and charming, and dazzling.

This queen is no less capable than Concubine Su, but she has been hated by His Majesty for many years.

The emperor sat up straighter when he saw the queen like this.

She took off her armor, and her nails were as white as jade, and her fingers were long and slender. She was calm and composed, as if she was in an empty space. She only asked Jiang Fenghua not to hold her back. Today, I will let you see what real piano skills are.

Her lips curled slightly, and her eyes shone with confidence. As the piano sounded slowly, it felt like the intimate whispers between young women, and the emperor moved his body again.

Jiang Fenghua also dressed up. She had a graceful figure and a soft body. She seemed to be playing two roles and dancing to the musical notes. From her choreography and movements, one could see how superb her dancing skills were.

A solo dance, a solo performance, they are in perfect harmony and complement each other.

Suddenly the music turned majestic and passionate, like a warrior rushing to the battlefield, killing enemies on the border. Queen Cheng's eyes were as sharp as torches, and the sound of the piano from her fingertips was ups and downs. The fusion of her eyes and the sound of the piano brought people into a dream world.

Suddenly, like willow catkins, they are floating in the wind without roots or stems in the vast universe.

A little episode in the middle made them extremely sad, but when they encountered the vast world, they had long let go of the future and the past.

The intimate young ladies seemed to gather and disperse. They experienced the attention of the crowd when they climbed up, and then fell into a thousand-foot abyss. In the end, only the lingering sound was left.

They seemed to have experienced the prosperous scene of hundreds of birds paying homage to the phoenix. They seemed to be talking about the ups and downs of life and the difficulties of the world. She was like a phoenix that stood out among the singing of many birds.

Queen Cheng seemed to be playing out her whole life, and Jiang Fenghua's dancing was even more outstanding. One dance vividly displayed the innocence of a girl, the sorrow of a young woman, and then the relief.

After the song, one feels heartbroken.

Everyone in the palace was stunned. No one expected that the usually dignified and noble queen had such superb piano skills, and no one expected that Princess Heng's dancing skills were also extraordinary.

Queen Cheng seemed to be playing a deliberate trick, but Princess Heng jumped out of it through body language.

With every frame and every painting, they only felt sadness, sadness for the women's lives.

At this moment, the emperor's eyes suddenly turned cold and he walked out.

Everyone was confused and stood up to see the emperor off.

Only after the emperor left did the queen stand up from the piano stand and said in high spirits, "Everyone has gone home. I think your majesty has enjoyed himself tonight."

Before the Queen's joy faded, Eunuch Cao came running back, "Your Majesty, please ask Prince Heng to come... to see you."

The Queen's expression changed almost instantly, "What does the Emperor want Shang'er to do? I'll go and take a look."

Just as the queen was about to follow, Eunuch Cao said, "Your Majesty didn't invite you, please go back to the palace!"

Jiang Fenghua hurriedly walked to the Queen's side and whispered, "Queen Mother, please be patient. I think it's rare for the Emperor to see the Prince enter the palace, so the Prince has gone to be with the Emperor to show his filial piety."

Jiang Fenghua now finally understood that the emperor was mad at the queen, and Xie Shang was the queen's weak spot. If the queen chased after him, it would probably be an irreconcilable situation again.

Xie Shang was brought before the emperor. The first thing the emperor did when he entered Chengqian Palace was to change out of his dragon robe. The second thing he did was to sit at his desk and begin to review memorials.

The anger in his chest disappeared instantly, and the emperor suddenly said, "Sit down."

"Thank you, father." After saying this, he sat down respectfully at the bottom seat.

"I have heard a little about what happened in your palace today." The emperor sneered, "I didn't know I could give birth to a lover."

Xie Shang asked solemnly, "Am I your father's biological child?"

When the emperor heard this, he picked up the pen pillow on the table and threw it at Xie Shang, "What nonsense are you talking about."

Xie Shang also knew how to dodge, so the pen pillow did not fall on his face, but directly hit the pillar next to him. There was a crisp "bang" sound and it fell to the ground.

Xie Shang quickly knelt on the ground, "I just want to know the truth. Why did you treat me like this? What did she do wrong to deserve such punishment? Isn't it enough to punish her for more than twenty years?"

"I have learned the truth from my mother. The maid was pregnant with my father's child, but she wanted to give birth to the child early, which led to a difficult labor and ended up with two deaths.

My mother also knows that she was wrong. She planned this because you, my father, have too many women. As the queen, she has never had a child, so she did something wrong. You are her husband..."

The emperor said coldly, "I am her husband, and I am also the emperor. I am the emperor of the whole world, not just Cheng Langjin. She can find any man to comfort her."

He was not only the sky for the empress, but also the sky for all the people in the world. The emperor was furious.

Xie Shang was startled.

The queen challenged a man's authority. The emperor was not an ordinary man. How could he tolerate the queen's betrayal, even if it was a spiritual betrayal?
