The crown prince seems to be a gentle, benevolent, generous and weak person, but he didn't expect that in recent years, his desire and ambition for the throne in the battle have become more and more unable to hide, and he has gradually been exposed, and as a result, his brain is not enough.

He had no choice but to hand a letter to the crown princess and ask her to tell Concubine Xian not to agree, that woman was still a little smart.

After the prince entered the palace, he pleaded with Concubine Xian, and Concubine Xian did not agree with what she said when she knew that what the Duke of Dingguo said.

The prince had no choice but to say aggrievedly: "Mother, the princess is a jealous woman, and Dingguo Gong is afraid that his daughter's status will be affected by Princess Beiyan." ”

Concubine Xian was stunned: "But what Dingguo Gong said is also reasonable." ”

"What's right, he feels that he is right in everything, and he likes to teach others!" The prince said dissatisfiedly.

"The emperor can't say that." Concubine Xian frowned slightly.

She was grinded by the crown prince, and Concubine Xian was not very satisfied with this daughter-in-law's appearance of pretending to be high. Thinking that what he said was reasonable, I agreed.

In the evening, when the emperor came to sleep with her, she mentioned it, and the emperor frowned when he heard it, and he didn't say anything.

Here, the prince accepted the advice of the staff, and privately went to the post station where the Northern Yan envoy lived to visit him several times.

didn't know that all this was in the eyes of the emperor.

On the second day, in a restaurant in the capital, the merchants and businessmen of Beiyan who came to the capital to do business said: "Our five princesses of Beiyan are going to come to your Daliang to be the crown princess, and we need to take more care of this business." ”

"Ah, my country's crown prince has a concubine, how can he marry your princess Beiyan?"

"What's that, don't you have a flat wife, our five princesses are princesses." The merchant whispered to the man.

Later, I don't know which little two passed these words.

Slowly, it was spread that not only one merchant said this, but also more Beiyan people and the visiting Beiyan people who came to drink outside and said so, and then these words finally successfully reached the emperor's ears.

The emperor's bedroom, Emperor Jingxiao coughed, his body has become worse and worse over the years, and he looked at the letter in his hand.

Angrily slapped on the table: "This rebel! Ahem, cough cough again.

The prince hurriedly stepped forward and handed over the water: "The emperor is angry, don't be angry." ”

"I used to look at this prince as a loyal and honest man, but in the past two years, he has become more and more unstable, and he dares to do this under my nose." Emperor Jing Xiao took a sip of tea and continued.

The prince just listened quietly on the sidelines, afraid that the emperor would be suspicious, of course he didn't dare to say much about this kind of thing.

Emperor Jing Xiao frowned and said: "A princess of Beiyan makes him so unbreathable, and the second prince is not young, so this princess of Beiyan will marry the second child." Also, I remember that the concubine of the Shangshu family of the Ministry of Officials had just reached the marriageable age. ”

"Yes." The prince waited quietly on the sidelines.

"I'll marry them together." Emperor Jing Xiao opened his mouth lightly.

The emperor is like this, even if it is his own son, you can take what I give you, but you can't ask for it from me.

The palace banquet in the evening, singing and dancing.

Emperor Jing Xiao sat on the top seat in a yellow robe, and it can be seen that he should have been a handsome man when he was young, but now he has a good figure and swollen eyes.

Sitting next to him was Concubine Xian, graceful and luxurious, and below him sat a charming and charming Concubine Zhao and a dignified-looking Concubine De, and a few lower rank sat below.

Ji Qi, the prince of Beiyan, and Ji Ruyan, the princess of Beiyan, sat on the right side.

Li Siyun glanced at them and withdrew his gaze.

Ji Qi and Ji Ruyan's eyes swept over the princes opposite, and they knew in their hearts that their target tonight was the crown prince.

Ji Ruyan saw Li Siyun opposite, and felt that she couldn't take her eyes off it for a while, a fairy-like man, dressed in a white and blue brocade robe.

is gentle as jade, although his face is pale and a little sickly, but it sets off his dusty temperament even more.

Ji Qi naturally noticed that although he had an outstanding temperament and appearance, he was an unfavored sick man after all.

He gently pulled Ji Ruyan beside him.

Only then did Ji Ruyan come back to her senses and retract her gaze.

The crown prince also always pays attention to this princess of Beiyan, and when he saw it in private, he was attracted by her beauty, but she seemed lukewarm to herself, thinking about beauty, of course, she was a little arrogant.

Because of the prince's angle, Li Siyun and the second prince were next to each other, and he followed Ji Ruyan's gaze, thinking that this lukewarm beauty was staring at the reckless man of the second child!

The two must have colluded secretly, and he lowered his head to hide the resentment in his eyes.

After the song and dance, Emperor Jing Xiao smiled and put down the wine glass in his hand and said, "Prince Beiyan, look at the program that our Daliang has prepared for you." ”

Ji Qi got up and saluted: "Thank you, Your Majesty, the program is very good, the singing voice is pleasant, and the dancing posture is beautiful, worthy of being the singer and dancer of the Great Liang." The sister is not talented, and she has learned to study some songs and dances since she was a child, so it is better to let the sister dance a song to cheer up the emperor. ”

"Okay, okay, if the prince has a heart, then there will be Princess Lao." Emperor Jing Xiao touched his beard and smiled.

After hearing this, Ji Ruyan calmly got up and walked to the center of the hall, saluted Emperor Jingxiao, with a confident and proud smile on her face: "The little girl is ugly." ”

Ji Ruyan wore a moon-white Su Xuejuan cloud-shaped thousand-water skirt, and the skirt was embroidered with gold and silver threads as thin as fetal hair.

The embroidery is decorated with pearls, and the gold and silver threads shine together, like a blooming begonia flower, walking step by step, like the fairy.

The flying bun wears a jasper hairpin with begonia beads.

She already has a cold face, which is most suitable for plain colors, and she is even more cold and moving in this outfit, with a bit of high coolness and a bit of human fireworks.

At first glance, it took a lot of effort to dress up.

At the end of the song, Ji Ruyan's dance also ended, her song is like mountains and flowing water, which itself is consistent with her temperament, and her dress highlights her cold temperament even more.

Her success in this dance attracted everyone's attention, especially the prince, whose eyes were already glued to her.

A trace of disdain flashed in the princess's eyes, her dancing posture was indeed beautiful and light, she belonged to the top class, and she had been practicing dancing for many years.

But in fact, most of her dance relies on her outfit, but it is enough to attract these vulgar men.

This dance is like tailor-made for Ji Ruyan, if the dance is great, it is better to say that the choreographer is powerful.

Seeing everyone's reaction, a hint of pride flashed in the corners of Ji Ruyan's eyes, this is the effect she wants.

Her purpose has been achieved.

It was Concubine Xian who spoke first: "Okay, it's really good to dance, Princess Ruyan is really versatile." ”

"Yes." Emperor Jing Xiao also smiled and agreed.

"Thank you for the praise of the emperor's virtuous concubine~" Ji Ruyan lowered her head and said.

Ji Qi also smiled and said: "Let the emperor laugh, the sister is just the skin of learning this music and dance, but it is far inferior to the big beam." ”

"The prince is modest." Emperor Jing Xiao is quite useful for such a toution.

Ji Qi continued: "I heard that Meng Yingying, the first talented woman in the capital, danced beautifully, extremely wonderful, and the dance broke the array and shocked the heavens, I don't know if I will be lucky enough to watch it." ”

Emperor Jing Xiao frowned, but it was nothing to perform in front of the emperor, but this represented the face of the two countries.

This Ji Ruyan has a preconceived idea and is well prepared, which has already attracted everyone's attention, and he knows that it is not easy to overshadow Ji Ruyan's dance.

This Ji Qi also said that the dance just now was just a fur, holding the beam so high, if Meng Yingying's dance was better than that of the princess of Beiyan, it should be, if it wasn't very different, wouldn't it mean that the first talented girl of the beam was just like that.

He didn't like Ji Qi's posture, this was a demonstration in Daliang, and of course the ministers and ladies present also thought of it.

Meng Yingying, who was at the bottom, frowned, and it happened that she broke her ankle yesterday. If she wanted to dance, she could barely complete it, but she was not sure that she would surpass this Beiyan princess.

What's more, this princess of Beiyan is so well prepared, although she doesn't disdain Ji Ruyan's dancing, in fact, there are not many skills, not relying on her cold temperament and clothes to attract attention, so that everyone ignores her skills.

Mrs. Meng also grabbed her daughter's hand nervously, if the emperor responded, how could there be no reason, if the dance was not good, wouldn't it be a disgrace to the emperor, a loss of face for the beam, and the emperor was also to blame.

Ji Ruyan also spoke: "The little girl has already heard of this breaking array dance, I don't know if this first talented girl in the capital, Miss Meng, can appreciate her face." "They found out yesterday that the first talented woman in the capital injured her ankle.

"Then Miss Meng will also dance a breaking array and have a fight with Princess Ruyan." Concubine De spoke, with a graceful smile on her face.

Meng Yingying frowned, so she had to get up and bow and kneel: "Please forgive the emperor, the courtier's daughter accidentally injured her ankle yesterday, and this shower is really inexplicable." ”

Emperor Jing Xiao frowned when he heard this, and the hall was quiet for a while.

Meng Shilang looked at his daughter kneeling in front of the hall, his legs shook in fright, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his head.

Concubine De's palms were also sweaty for a while, originally she wanted her son to ask to marry Miss Meng and help her be in the limelight, but she caught up with this Meng Yingying and injured her foot.

She had no choice but to pretend to be relaxed and smiled and said, "Oh, that's really a coincidence, Princess Beiyan, it's not too late for you to learn when Miss Meng is healed." ”

"Oh~ This injury is also very coincidental~" Ji Ruyan looked at Meng Yingying with a smile in her mouth, and a hint of mockery flashed in her eyes.

Emperor Jing Xiao's people were immediately dissatisfied when they heard this, this Beiyan was really becoming more and more arrogant.

Meng Yingying pretended to be calm and looked at Ji Ruyan: "I want to come to Princess Beiyan is also a person who loves to dance, and those who practice dancing must take it seriously and go all out, otherwise, it is disrespectful to the other party and the audience." ”

She knew that if she danced like this, she would lose, and what she lost was the face of the beam, and the emperor would definitely be dissatisfied, and she would never be able to dance today.

She also thought that if she pushed or didn't jump, she would make Beiyan get her will, and the emperor was just as dissatisfied, but it was better than jumping and losing.

Emperor Jing Xiao had no choice but to nod: "Well, that's reasonable." ”

The other ministers also chimed in, and no one wanted to wade into this troubled water. Emperor Jing Xiao looked down, and the ministers who lowered their heads one by one were even more angry in their hearts.

"Oh~" Ji Qi chuckled: "Then listen to the emperor." ”

Seeing them like this, Emperor Jing Xiao and everyone breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts.

At this time, Concubine Zhao, who was sitting next to Emperor Jingxiao, chuckled: "Your Majesty, how can you use this dance skill to be the first talented girl in our capital, Li Sima's daughter Li Wanru can do it~"
