Chapter 13: A Dance Wins Dragon's Grace

Bai Yuhe took a few deep breaths, tried not to think about Wang Guiren, quickly calmed down, quietly saluted the ladies and gentlemen, and then sat down in his seat. Probably because of her hard background, she was arranged to the seat closest to the emperor, which greatly increased her bargaining chips for winning the bid tonight.

Leng Yue stood behind Bai Yuhe, carefully observing the movements around her, suddenly her wrist tightened, she looked back, and saw that it was Ling Tian, so she asked in a low voice, "Why are you here?" ”

Ling Tian said softly, "Come out, the banquet will not start until a while." ”

Leng Yue saw that Bai Yuhe was completely focused on the emperor and didn't pay attention to her at all, so she nodded and quietly let Ling Tian pull her away. The two of them came to a remote corner, and Ling Tian said seriously: "You must be careful of Concubine Yan, the concubine who wears red clothes today, she is the daughter of the general of Zhenguo, she knows martial arts, and she has an arrogant personality. Wearing a hundred flowers is Concubine Li, she is the daughter of the right prime minister, impulsive and reckless, but she has no bad intentions. Do you know why Li Shuyuan died? ”

Seeing Leng Yue shaking her head blankly, Ling Tian continued: "Since the founding of the Holy Dragon Dynasty, there has only been one noble concubine, who is the biological mother of the founding emperor, and the status of the noble concubine is equal to that of the queen, so the current Yan Concubine Niangniang and Concubine Li Niangniang are not noble concubines, do you understand?" ”

Leng Yue was very surprised and said: "So that's the case, that day Li Shuyuan's maid said that Li Shuyuan would soon be named a concubine, and it was this sentence that caused the murder." ”

Ling Tian nodded, patted Leng Yue's shoulder, and said, "Go back, be careful not to be discovered by your master." There was a lot of concern in his eyes.

Leng Yue looked at Ling Tian, smiled gratefully, and then quietly returned to Bai Yuhe's side, Bai Yuhe didn't even notice that she had left. The more Leng Yue thought about it, the more wrong it became, so she whispered in Bai Yuhe's ear: "When it's your turn to perform for a while, don't mention the word concubine." ”

Bai Yuhe asked strangely, "Why?" In addition to the queen today, there are two concubines, what do you want me to call them? ”

Leng Yue said: "You see, it is Concubine Yan who wears red clothes, and it is Concubine Li's mother who wears flowers in flowers, and when you greet her, you have to put Yan Fei Niangniang in front of Concubine Li, and I will explain to you later." ”

Although Bai Yuhe was ignorant, he still obediently wrote it down. At this time, the banquet had begun, and the first to perform was Wang Shuyuan, whose piano skills were very good, and she did attract the attention of the emperor. followed by Sun Shuyuan, who came up and wanted to please everyone, saying: "Long live the emperor, long live, the queen's mother, thousand years old, thousand years old." But he didn't greet the two concubines, I don't know if he forgot them nervously, or didn't take them in his eyes at all. The emperor and queen were naturally very happy, but the faces of the two concubines were comparable to the bottom of the pot.

Bai Yuhe also seemed to notice that something was wrong, and quietly asked Leng Yue: "She didn't greet the concubine, how can I say it so that I don't offend people?" ”

Leng Yue thought for a while and said: "You just said that I wish the emperor and the queen a long life and Tianqi, and the two mothers will always accompany Long Yan to travel all over the world." ”

Bai Yuhe said with a smile after chattering a few times: "I didn't expect your writing to be good, fortunately you have no intention of competing for favor, otherwise you would really be my great enemy." ”

Leng Yue didn't speak, and stepped aside. Several Shuyuan have been changed to perform between the words, and it is Wu Shuyuan who is on stage at this moment, I saw her on stage, with a beautiful posture, and her figure is comparable to Zhao Feiyan, light and enchanting. Dressed in a pink gauze dress, fluttering like a fairy, it seems that he is going to dance. Wu Shuyuan's lips rose lightly, and she said softly: "Long live the emperor, long live, the queen mother and the two concubines are thousands of years old." After finishing speaking, she was about to start performing, but the queen shouted: "Degrade this nonsense Shuyuan to a palace maid and send it to the Huanyi Bureau." The voice was cold, although the emperor had a good impression of Wu Shuyuan, but he was just reluctant, and he didn't say a word, it seems that the emperor is still a little jealous of the queen.

"The queen mother spared the concubine, where was the concubine wrong?" Wu Shuyuan was driven by two eunuchs, and she shouted loudly.

The queen snorted coldly: "Hmph, where did the concubine come from?" Pull it down. ”

"Your Majesty...... The emperor saves the concubines ......" Wu Shuyuan's voice was far away, and the concubines in the audience were all frightened, for fear that if they said something wrong, they would end up with the same fate as Wu Shuyuan.

Leng Yue secretly glanced at the queen, and saw that she had regained her indifferent expression, Concubine Yan had a sneer on the corner of her mouth, and Concubine Li looked at the queen with an angry face. The queen once interceded for Long Lan'er, and Leng Yue's impression of her was good, but today's events made her a little puzzled, is the queen really a good person? But think about it, this Holy Dragon Dynasty does not have a noble concubine in this generation, and Wu Shuyuan is indeed transgressing when he says that.

"Leng Yue, what's the daze, it's almost me, I'm a little nervous." Bai Yuhe pushed Leng Yue, and a trace of blush appeared on her face due to nervousness, which actually made her look even more delicate.

"It's okay, just remember what I said." Leng Yue smiled, Bai Yuhe was the last performance, and it was also the finale.

"Okay, then I'll go." Bai Yuhe stood up and walked to the center of the empty field, her fresh and elegant clothes and makeup were as different as the white plum standing proudly among the flowers, and she actually compared the other concubines for a while.

"The concubines wish the emperor and the queen a long life and Tianqi, and the two mothers will always accompany Long Yan to travel the four seas." As soon as the words fell, the emperor applauded, and it seemed that Bai Yuhe had successfully attracted the emperor. This congratulatory speech did not offend anyone, and the queen was very satisfied, with a smile on her face. Concubine Li and Concubine Yan were also very satisfied, and nodded slightly.

Bai Yuhe took a deep breath, flicked her sleeves and danced, only to see her lotus steps moving lightly, promoting her Hunan skirt, looking like a begonia Zixiaolu, and her waist was like a willow welcoming spring flower, which was better than a fairy flying from the Guanghan Palace. The emperor saw that she was emotionally moving, her figure was elegant, and he fixed his eyes for a while, and he didn't realize that his eyes were fluttering, and he applauded and said: "The dance is wonderful, the dance is wonderful...... The eunuch behind the emperor saw that the emperor liked it, so he stepped forward and whispered a few words.

The emperor nodded, stood up and said: "Shuyuan Bai Yuhe is knowledgeable and knowledgeable, and her dancing skills are superb, so she is named a noble person and is given to live in Anrui Palace." ”

Bai Yuhe was overjoyed when he heard this, and quickly knelt on the ground to thank him. Leng Yue carefully observed the queen's expression, and saw that she was always smiling faintly, and she didn't show any dissatisfaction. Concubine Yan was disdainful, Concubine Li's eyes were cold, her lips were pursed, and her big eyes were full of anger. The most angry was Wang Guiren, the silk handkerchief in her hand had been crumpled, and her silver teeth were crumbling.

Bai Yuhe thanked him, returned to his seat, saw Wang Guiren from a distance, smiled disdainfully at her, and said in his heart: "Now I am also a nobleman, with equal status, see that I don't kill you." ”

Wang Guiren seemed to guess what Bai Yuhe was thinking, and suddenly the ground turned pale, and the whole person began to panic.
