Chapter 158: Dance

The concubine coquettishly attached herself to the emperor's arms, and said coquettishly: "Your Majesty ......"

Before she could say her words, she only heard Shen Chenzhi say: "The first time the Nine Princesses have participated in such a palace banquet, take advantage of this day, it is better to let the Nine Princesses present a dance for their uncle." ”

Shangguan Huan grabbed Meng Yuxuan's hand from under the table and comforted her silently. He said lightly: "The princess has been unwell recently and can't dance. ”

The concubine was ready to be praised as early as when Shen Chenzhi mentioned 'more beautiful people', but Shen Chenzhi said Meng Yuxuan, which made the concubine, who was known as the first beauty, feel insulted. She glared at Meng Yuxuan fiercely, and said in a weird manner: "Isn't the Ninth Princess from a cheap maid?" I'm afraid there will be nothing else but laundry and cooking. The Nine Princes directly told the truth, the emperor had a lot of them, and he would not blame her. ”

The emperor's eyes were staring at Meng Yuxuan. The well-dressed Meng Yuxuan is indeed too beautiful, there are so many women in the palace, it can't be compared to her alone. In the face of such a beauty, Renlun is a fart. He is the emperor, and the most beautiful woman should be his.

"Xiao Jiu, just let your princess dance for me, do you need to be so distressed? Since she can enter the palace, there must be no big problem. If she is really sick, I will give her the imperial doctor and arrange a palace for her to rest for a while. The emperor looked at Shangguan Huan coldly and said.

Everyone looked at Meng Yuxuan. Now she is riding a tiger.

Jump? If you jump, you naturally can't jump on purpose, otherwise it will make Shangguan Huan lose face. If they didn't jump, the emperor wouldn't let them go. They had already guessed such a situation. It's just that when she really faces such a situation, she is still inevitably irritated and nervous.

"Your Majesty, in terms of beauty, of course the concubine is the most beautiful. Who doesn't know that the concubine is the first beauty in the world? The dancing skills of the concubine are unparalleled in the world. Weichen felt that since he wanted to appreciate his dancing skills, of course he had to find the best. Li Ye arched his hand and said to the emperor sitting on the dragon horse.

Meng Yuxuan glanced at Li Ye gratefully. Now she can't speak, whatever she says is wrong. If Li Ye and Shangguan Huan's words are useless, what she says is even more useless.

When the concubine heard Li Ye praise him like this, she smiled again. She looked at Li Ye seductively and secretly sent Qiu Bo.

"The concubine is of course the most beautiful. But I often watch her dance, and there's nothing new about it. This year, I want to see the Nine Princesses dance. Xiao Jiu, it's just a dance, who are you showing like this? The Emperor said coldly. This is the decree of God. Who dares to resist the decree? ”

Shangguan Xi looked at Meng Yuxuan worriedly, and shouted in a low voice: "Mother, Xi'er is afraid. ”

Meng Yuxuan patted his hands and said gently, "Don't be afraid. Mother will not let others hurt you. It's just a dance, a big deal. ”

"Your Majesty......" came the anxious voice of the eunuch from outside. The Yaochi Hall was on fire. ”

"What?" The Emperor stood up abruptly and roared angrily, "What's the use of raising you minions? Don't hurry up and put out the fire. ”

The Yaochi Hall was built by him for the nine princesses who were as beautiful as fairies. In the future, he will hide this woman in the palace. It took a lot of money to build, how can it be burned down? His beauty hasn't lived in it yet! Doesn't that mean he's fallen short?

"The minions have sent someone to put out the fire, but ...... The minions found weapons in the area where the fire was on fire, and the minions suspected that an assassin had infiltrated the palace to disadvantage the emperor. The eunuch stammered.

"Bastard thing!" The emperor looked flustered. "Where are the Janissaries? Send all the Praetorian Guards to protect me. ”

"Your Majesty." The Queen Mother picked up the lotus finger, elegantly played with the jade wrench in her hand, and said calmly: "Don't panic, the Nine Princes and all the martial masters are here, no matter how good the assassin is, it won't hurt the emperor in the slightest." ”

The emperor looked at Shangguan Huan with envy and sneered: "It is precisely because there are too many people that I have to guard against it." Some people are loyal on the surface, but in fact they are full of flowers. I don't dare to put my life in the hands of those traitors with ulterior motives. ”

Shen Chenzhi chuckled and said, "Uncle don't worry. Chenzhi will protect you if he dies. ”

"Chenzhi's work, I am naturally relieved." The emperor's face softened slightly. "Ziyang, you gave birth to a good son."

Princess Ziyang bowed slightly, her expression as indifferent as ever. She glanced at Shen Chenzhi next to her, and a cold light flashed in her eyes.

"Your Majesty, even if there are assassins, our birthday banquet will not end. Otherwise, the Assassins thought that the royal family was afraid of him, and they would not even dare to hold a birthday banquet. The Great Jade Concubine said softly. Why don't you do this, the concubine and her sister dance together for the emperor? Would the emperor be willing to give it a reward? ”

"Speaking of which, I haven't seen two Jade Concubines dance for me at the same time. You are sisters, you must have a tacit understanding, but I am somewhat interested. The emperor looked at the two sisters in front of him and said evilly, "If you dance well, I will be rewarded at the same time." ”

Yu Qingrao's face was pale, biting her red lip sadly, with a reluctant look. The innocent girl had long since died, and now she is a puppet with a forced smile, only for the emperor's favor. 、

The eldest jade concubine smiled coquettishly, stood up and blessed her body and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty." The concubine and sister will not disappoint the emperor. ”

Meng Yuxuan has no position to sympathize with Yu Qingrao, after all, she is also unable to protect herself now. Unless Yu Qingrao leaves the palace and removes her status as the imperial concubine, such a humiliating thing will still happen.

The two jade concubines sang and danced. The eldest jade concubine was already good at dancing, and the little jade concubine has been learning singing and dancing during this time, and she has grown a lot.

Because of the fire, the emperor temporarily forgot to embarrass Meng Yuxuan. It should be said that he did not forget, but put the matter aside for the time being. After all, the matter of the assassin has not yet been settled, and if there is really an assassin, he still expects Shangguan Huan to protect him, so he can't offend Shangguan Huan at this juncture.

Meng Yuxuan didn't think there was such a coincidence. If this matter has nothing to do with Shangguan Huan, it is that she is too lucky. But is she really lucky?

Meng Yuxuan looked at Shangguan Huan. The latter knew she was looking at him, and a faint smile flashed in his eyes.

"You guessed it right." Shangguan Huan said lightly.

"It turns out that you have long been ......" made all kinds of preparations. Meng Yuxuan swallowed the unfinished words. "What now?"

"Wait until it's over." Shangguan Huan said in a low voice: "He doesn't have the heart to embarrass us now. He is so afraid of death, of course, the most important thing is to save his own life. We can eat and drink in peace and go back when we are done. ”

"If I knew it was going so well, I wouldn't have had to worry about it last night." Meng Yuxuan muttered.

"No one knew it would go so smoothly until it was done." Shangguan took her hand. "That faint gentleman may not even want his own life for the sake of beauty. We still have to be careful before we get home. ”

The songs and dances of the big and small jade concubines are a must, and it can be seen that they have rehearsed very carefully. The emperor couldn't take his eyes off it, and kept staring at Yu Qingrao's little waist and drooling. Until the dance between the two ended, he pulled the two of them away directly, leaving behind a full hall of civil and military ministers and their families.

The Queen Mother has not said much. After the emperor left, she excused herself from the table with a few unfavored concubines.

The concubine was robbed of the limelight by the two jade concubines, and her pretty face was so angry. She flicked her sleeves and left the palace, ignoring the guests who remained there.

Shen Chenzhi laughed, holding a wine jug in his hand, pouring himself a drink, looking very weird. As abnormal as him is Li Ye.

Meng Yuxuan and Shangguan Huan were also preparing to leave. However, as soon as they walked out of the door, Meng Yuxuan arranged Shangguan Xi's cloak, and a black shadow shot at them.

Shangguan Huan stood in front of Meng Yuxuan and withstood the man's attack. Meng Yuxuan protected Shangguan Xi, pulled out the software on his waist, and faced the assassin opposite. Seeing more and more black-clothed people descending from the sky, Shangguan Huan said to Meng Yuxuan: "Take Xi'er and return to the palace." ”

"But what do you do?" Meng Yuxuan protected Shangguan Xi and resisted. Shangguan Xi is a defenseless child after all. No matter how precocious he is, he can't be very strong when facing a life-and-death situation. Otherwise, it's not a child, but a monster in the skin of a child.

At this point, he was trembling with fear, but he still tried to hold himself up and not yell. Meng Yuxuan was worried about Shangguan Huan and wanted to protect him at the same time. The Praetorian Guards were obviously nearby, but they didn't come when they heard the fighting. If this was not deliberately arranged by the emperor, he would not believe that she would be killed.

"Xuan'er, take Xi'er back to the palace." Shangguan Huan took out an assassin with a sword.

The sword she now wields is not her own, but has been snatched from the Assassins. There is a rule in the palace, that is, you can't enter the palace with weapons.

"What's going on?" Li Ye suddenly appeared and grabbed Meng Yuxuan. He said angrily, "What are you doing in a daze? Fast forward to the temple. ”

"Huan ......" Meng Yuxuan was not worried about Shangguan Huan and refused to leave. However, she was so worried about Shangguan Huan that she simply stabbed Li Ye in the heart. Meng Yuxuan also knew that this was very cruel to Li Ye, but now only Li Ye could help her. In front of so many people, Shangguan Huan's secret guard could not appear, otherwise the emperor would definitely give him a charge of rebellion.

Was this really the Emperor's ploy? No! The emperor did not have this mind. It's clear that someone is behind it. Shen Chenzhi? It had to be him!

Shen Chenzhi! Why do you want to send me to the Emperor's Dragon Collapse so much? If I knew that you were such a scourge, I would never have saved you in the first place.

"I'll help him." Li Ye grabbed Meng Yuxuan and said to Wutong not far away, "You protect Xuan'er." ”

Wutong raised his eyebrows, shook his head and said, "Is there a more stupid man in the world than my master?" Sister Meng, please go inside! ”

At this time, a woman in red quietly approached Meng Yuxuan. She pushed hard and pushed Meng Yuxuan into the battle circle opposite.

Meng Yuxuan knows martial arts, which is something she didn't expect. When she pushed Meng Yuxuan, the latter pulled her backhand and threw it again, pushing her into the fight group instead. Flutter! A sword stabbed the woman in the shoulder, blood splattered everywhere, and the smell of crimson spread in the air.
