Chapter 22: Dance

Su Yang's eyes swept over Ye Qinxin's pretty face, and she couldn't help but laugh secretly in her heart, she knew that Ye Qinxin was arrogant, but she didn't expect her to be so quick to hold back, and she desperately wanted to show herself.

"When I was in the boudoir, I didn't hear that you still had these talents. ”

She ruthlessly exposed it, Ye Qinxin's face looked a little ugly, but she quickly returned to her smile and defended herself: "Look at what my sister said, although we were sisters in the Prime Minister's Mansion, we were different from each other, so it is normal for you not to know much." ”

When Ye Qinxin said the word "concubine", her tone increased a little, for fear that others would not hear that she was satirizing the origin of Su Yang's concubine.

Su Yang snorted coldly when he heard this, Liu Mei looked at Ye Qinxin slightly, and asked in a slightly dangerous tone: "What a concubine is different, since you know the etiquette so well, why don't you know how to call the palace a lady when you are questioned in this palace?"

As soon as Su Yang said this, Ye Qinxin realized that she had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly left her seat and knelt down in the direction of Su Yang and Murong Jue, her starry eyes were stained with tears, and she sobbed and said, "The emperor and the princess forgive their sins!"

Seeing her pretentiousness, Su Yang only felt sick to her stomach, thinking that it was the pretending weak woman in front of her who made her drink poisonous wine, and the heart-wrenching taste is still unforgettable for her, but now she is dressed up again, and it is really a waste of talent not to sing!

Thinking of this, Su Yang couldn't help but clench his fists.

But right now, she is Ye Wanying, not Su Yang, and she has not yet won Murong Jue's trust, so she can't be too sharp, otherwise it will inevitably lead to Murong Jue's suspicions, so she made a magnanimous appearance, stepped forward with a smile and helped her up, and turned to Murong Jue and said: "Your Majesty, look at my sister, I'm just joking with her, she will take it seriously." ”

"I think what Concubine Ai just said is right, being in the palace, you should indeed abide by the palace rules, but since Concubine Ai is just joking, then I won't pursue it. ”

Murong Jue originally planned to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, but he didn't expect this Ye Wanying to let Ye Qinxin go, and he couldn't help but feel a little weird, but today was a flower viewing banquet, so he didn't care about it, and let them go dog-eat-dog.

"Your Majesty, since my sister said that she wants to perform, then let her show her hand for us, okay?"

"Hmm. ”

Originally, Su Yang had already arranged singing and dancing, since Ye Qinxin wanted to express herself so much, he gave her this opportunity, but whether the performance was good or not, this was Ye Qinxin's own fate.

Seeing that Murong nodded in agreement, Ye Qinxin was overjoyed, with a smile at the corners of her eyes and eyebrows, and even her tone was much lighter.

"Then the courtier, let's go down and prepare!"

"Go ahead. ”

Seeing Ye Qinxin happily looking for a place to change clothes, Su Yang gave Ruo'er who was standing aside a look, Ruo'er understood, and quietly retreated.

"Your Majesty, the concubines toast you. ”

When Ruo'er went down, Su Yang got up and toasted Murong Jie, there were so many pairs of eyes at the banquet, Murong Jue couldn't shirk it even if he wanted to, so he had to drink it.

After a while, three or four glasses of wine were already in his stomach, Su Yang had a touch of red on his face, raised his hand to support his forehead, and after a long time, he got up and owed to Murong Du, and said, "Your Majesty, the concubine is a little drunk, go out to breathe." ”

"Go ahead. ”

Murong Jue didn't want to keep her in front of her, so he flicked his sleeves and motioned her to retreat.

After leaving Fengmianzhai, Su Yang returned to his Qingming appearance, asked a few palace maids to retreat, and walked to the warm pavilion on the side.

"Niangniang is here, the slave and maid have done what you ordered. ”

As she spoke, Ruo'er presented the plate with her clothes, Su Yang pinched the corner of her skirt and lifted it, and checked it carefully, sure enough, every button was cut loose with a knife, but there was no problem with a cursory sweep.

"Hmph, take it and send it to the one in the Xinuan Pavilion, I want to see what kind of means she is going to use. ”

"Yes!"

Ruo'er was ordered to take her clothes down, leaving Su Yang alone in the Xinuan Pavilion, the woman who was still gentle as water, at this time, her expression was unusually ruthless, and a trace of fierceness flashed in her eyes, she wanted to see, if Ye Qinxin lost her honor in front of the palace, would the Ye family dare to send her into the palace with a cheeky face in the future!

At that time, Feng Mian was in the fast.

"The Queen Mother has arrivedβ€”"

The little eunuch's sharp voice came, and all the famous nobles and nobles got up and saluted, and Murong Jue personally stepped forward to greet him.

"How can the queen mother come here today? Aren't you afraid that the cool autumn breeze will blow and the wind will be cold?"

"Look at what you said, the mourning family has not yet reached the age of confusion, so it will not be unable to blow the wind. ”

The Queen Mother smiled and patted the back of Murong Jue's hand, and her eyes swept over the famous and noble girls kneeling below, all of them were well-read and dignified and generous, and the smile on her face became deeper and deeper.

"Emperor, what is here today is the daughter of your former ministers, so you can't slack off. ”

Murong Jue heard the deep meaning of the Queen Mother's words, but he just wanted him to take this opportunity to carefully select a suitable re-entry into the palace, but there was already a boring Ye Wanying in the harem, he didn't want to come a few more to annoy him, besides, the holy decree had been issued, and he would not slap himself in the face if he chose a concubine to enter the palace at this time.

"Queen Mother, there is no urgency in this matter. ”

"What's not in a hurry? It's a big deal to start a branch for the royal family, why aren't you in a hurry?" said the Queen Mother with a little anger on her face, in a reproachful tone.

"Erchen means that Erchen has just ascended the throne now, his foundation is unstable, and he often soaks in the imperial study to deal with government affairs, and he accepts concubines and concubines to snub the beauty for no reason. ”

The Queen Mother thought for a moment when she heard this, but she also felt that it made sense, besides, Murong Jue is now an adult, and it is inconvenient for her to interfere in the private affairs of his harem.

"No matter what, children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, and the emperor can do it himself. ”

After that, she smiled at the beauties and said, "Get up, you don't have to be formal at today's flower viewing banquet." ”

"Empress Dowager Xie. ”

Everyone sat down, and after a while, Ye Qinxin, who was wearing a neon dress and dance costume, stepped inside, stepped onto the stage, and saluted the two people in front of him: "The courtier Ye Qinxin danced for the emperor and the queen mother." ”

As soon as the words fell, a circle of musicians sitting on the edge of the stage began to play, and Ye Qinxin stepped on the drum and danced.

Looking at her graceful dancing, the Queen Mother couldn't help but admire, and pointed to Ye Qinxin on the stage and said to Murong Jue: "Look, this is what everyone's ladies should look like!"

Murong was silent, his eyes fell on the empty position beside him, and he raised his hand to beckon the eunuch and asked, "Imperial Concubine Ye hasn't come back yet?"

"Back to the emperor, the palace maid next to Imperial Concubine Ye came to report, saying that the imperial concubine was not strong enough to drink, and was resting in the Winter Warm Pavilion, and would come later. ”

"Hmph, I really don't know the etiquette, and the royal banquet doesn't pay attention to etiquette, so she is worthy of being a country woman. ”

The Queen Mother said coldly when she heard this.
