Volume 2 Snooping Chapter 16 The Hidden Conspiracy

Everything calmed down because of the canonization ceremony, and the Forbidden City returned to its former peace. But it seemed to be just a brief moment of calm before the storm.

Chunxi knew that Concubine Tong would not just give up, but what she didn't know was that things would deviate from the trajectory. This time the disaster was no longer directed at him, but it was more difficult to break free than every time he was in danger before.

Everything seemed to be so natural that they fell into trouble without the slightest suspicion.

Today, although the Qing Dynasty has not stopped in civil strife, it has won many victories after several years of war. Although the war has not been pacified, it has already made a good start.

Naturally, those small neighboring countries will not give up the opportunity to form alliances, let alone escape the shackles of hundreds of years.

Every year, they receive tributes from various countries, and every time in order to show the prosperity of the Qing Dynasty, it is indispensable to let the envoys of various countries see the situation clearly. Often, when receiving envoys from various countries, it is divided into two parts. First, the emperor and the ministers of the court received the ministers, and the second was the harem concubines who were mainly queens to receive the women and children who came together.

It's just that this time the difference is that there are still a lot of Westerners, those foreigners who are completely different from them.

Since people come to offer tribute, they naturally have to entertain. For the queen, who has just ascended to the throne, it is naturally a big challenge.

Although the experience in the past few years has allowed her to deal with these things well, but in the end, it is the first time, and she is facing a race that she has never seen before, so it is inevitable that she will have to learn from the Queen Mother or even the Queen Mother in person.

At the same time, this is also the time to test Han Ji's achievements. Since Han Ji was entitled, because of the concession, Han Ji has replaced many of the previous singers and dancers. Now she has under her hands all the talents she once recruited in Guixian Building.

This time, they were all used, which was also an important reason why Xuan Ye had high hopes for her in the first place. With her, the realm of song and dance in the Qing Dynasty can be highlighted.

Han Ji divided her people into two teams, and this time she didn't personally participate in them. Just behind the scenes. She is very confident in her own people, and Xuan Ye once ordered to appear in person unless she has to do so.

Chun Xi was happy to see all of this, because she saw Han Ji's purpose clearly. At least, that's one of her purposes. Let yourself shine on the international stage.

Just when Chun Xi and Han Ji were excited about this, they didn't know that a conspiracy had also quietly descended.

On the court banquet, Chun Xi sat in front of the banquet, and couldn't help but praise in his heart, this feast was quite good. She looked at the queen and knew that this time she was really serious. This is probably also an opportunity for her to express herself.

Seeing Xiaozhuang raising a glass and drinking with the blonde woman opposite, Chun Xi couldn't help but feel that this banquet was really different from the past. At least, it was the first time she had seen a girl like this. Although I couldn't understand what she said, the body movements between each other made people very happy. Even if there is no verbal communication, just glass after glass of wine, it seems that they can really understand what each other has to say.

Chun Xi couldn't help but think in her heart that maybe she should learn more about all foreign languages. Because she saw a scene that surprised her.

She saw that Han Ji was talking happily with those foreign women, and at this moment, almost everyone present was shocked again, and Han Ji once again refreshed their opinion of her.

Chun Xi has always known that Han Ji is erudite and talented, but she doesn't want this Western language, she can also do it, and she is very fluent.

It seemed that at the invitation of the blonde women, I saw Han Ji walking in front of Xiaozhuang.

"Old Ancestor, it seems that Han Ji can't be lazy today." Just when everyone was puzzled by her words, they heard her say again: "There are only a few guests from the West, and the singing and dancing of our Oriental women are simply not worth mentioning compared to them, so Han Ji wants them to see that I am not the same as them." ”

As soon as these words came out, the people present were in an uproar. But soon they all quieted down, waiting for Xiaozhuang to make a decision.

Almost without hesitation, Xiaozhuang nodded and agreed: "The dignified Qing Dynasty, how can you be looked down upon by a few nights, and the mourning family will be played." ”

This unplanned performance got everyone excited.

This banquet is not only the harem concubines, but also many princes' Fujin, Gege, and even the minister's wives. Most of them came to see this rumored stunning.

When they knew that Han Ji would not perform today, many people were discouraged. But this sudden accident made them enthusiastic.

Han Ji's name has long been famous all over the world, and after a dance in front of the palace, it is even more well-known.

There are so many rumors about her from the outside world, and she is compared to a fairy in a colorful way, but she can't help but regret that she can't say it with her own eyes.

And today, Han Ji's dance made everyone feel wonderful. The graceful dance once again moved the people who saw this scene, and they couldn't come back to their senses for a long time.

As soon as the dance was over, the blonde women were naturally amazed, and they didn't dare to say that the dance of the East was no better than that of the West.

Han Ji invited them to dance, and naturally no one shirked it.

Looking at the dance of the West, Chunxi was also a little stunned. The first time I saw it, it was really a novelty. Besides, I haven't been able to come out of Han Ji's beauty, but now I see something new, and I am interested all of a sudden.

The blonde women didn't seem to intend to let Han Ji go like that, and said something to her. It was far away, so naturally I couldn't hear it clearly, but even if I listened, I didn't understand what I was talking about.

Just as he was wondering, he saw Han Ji, who was standing on the side, start dancing again, and this time it was the Western dance that the blonde women had just danced.

After watching it once, Han Ji found the essence and danced even better than the original. Those blonde women were naturally unhappy, but they had to admire. also jumped up behind Han Ji, but it was still not enjoyable, and he stepped forward and pulled the concubine to dance with Chunxi. All of a sudden, the scene became lively.

Xiaozhuang and a group of spectators had already been amused by the scene in front of them, and they couldn't close their mouths with a smile.

This may be a kind of friendship between countries, and obviously, these are what Xiaozhuang is happy to see.

Chun Xi, who was forced to be pulled to the stage, also began to learn the way of dancing from Westerners, although he was not familiar with it, and it was a little awkward, but he was surrounded by this atmosphere and quickly integrated into it.

The concubine is naturally not far behind, she is good at dancing and learns quickly.

Gradually, more people began to join, and Concubine An and Concubine Jing were pulled out.

Such a happy scene is very lively with the joy of silk and bamboo. Chun Xi couldn't help but wonder if this was the credit of Han Ji or the credit of those blonde women.

After a while, even Concubine Yun, who had been sitting next to her for a long time, was pulled into their dance circle, and the scene became more lively for a while. I don't know who started singing, and everyone started dancing to the sound.

How long has it been since you've felt so relaxed? How long has it been since you have laughed so naturally with joy?

They don't know how rare it is in this deep palace to have the happiness of this moment.

It's just that often after such happiness, it is necessary to pay double the pain. They never imagined that this sadness and discomfort would come so quickly, so suddenly.

It was obviously a happy scene, a scene of singing and dancing, but suddenly it was quiet.

It was as if time had stopped, forbidding the flow of everything.

Countless screams scratched her ears, and she only felt a roar in her ears. It was as if the whole person couldn't move at this moment, and she could only watch the scene in front of her happen.

The people who had been dancing around suddenly dispersed, fleeing in all directions like frightened white rabbits.

Chun Xi opened her mouth slightly, but she couldn't make any sound, and looked at the fallen figure in surprise, as well as Han Ji who was standing on the side holding a dagger.

It all happened so fast that no one could see how it happened, and no one even heard whether the fallen man was crying for help or panicking.

Obviously, the people who were shocked by this scene were not only Chun Xi, but also Han Ji herself.

She couldn't believe what was happening to her, and she didn't even know how she could suddenly hold this bloodstained dagger in her hand. Where does it come from, and why does it hurt an innocent person?

It was none other than one of the blonde women who fell.

She was so frightened that she couldn't believe it, she herself was stabbed in the chest with a dagger, and she fell to the ground.

A large patch of blood spread along the wound, staining the blonde woman's blonde dress red.

Chunxi still stood in place, unbelievable. She raised her eyes lightly and looked at Han Ji, who also looked puzzled, hovering between the dagger in her hand and the fallen person.

"Someone, take down the assassins." She heard the queen's voice ring out in the confusion, and then she saw a group of guards running forward and pulling Han Ji to take her outside.

Without the slightest hesitation, out of instinct, she rushed forward to pull Han Ji out of the guards. But just with his weak posture, he was squeezed out without even touching Han Ji's sleeve.

She fell heavily to the ground, and she didn't care about the pain, and she didn't care about the surprised eyes of others, so she rushed up again. As a result, as before, she was once again squeezed out and fell to the ground again.

The screams and cries that came from all around seemed to be inaudible. She couldn't even hear what Han Ji was telling her, so she could only look at the shape of her mouth and read the only two words she understood, "Lord Wang".

Chunxi wanted to rush up again, but was ordered by Xiaozhuang and let people drag him away.

Everyone was confused, in their eyes, Chunxi and Han Ji should be incompatible. When I played chess with her, I was humiliated and angry for many days. But what she is doing at this moment is completely as if her closest person has been taken away.

And Concubine Tong, who should be closest to Han Ji the most, has been watching all this from afar.

Han Ji was still taken away, and in the eyes of Chunxi, she was taken out like this. No one understands what happened, why a stunning bewitching woman, a female official of the Qing Dynasty, suddenly picked up a dagger and killed a Western guest.

She turned around, her eyes sweeping over everyone. When she saw Concubine Tong pick up the wine glass and toast to her and drink it all again, Chunxi finally understood. Looking at the smile on the corner of her mouth, Chun Xi knew that this farce and death was a well-planned situation by someone.
