I saw that the woman leading the dance in the middle was indeed wearing a dance costume that looked like that of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady, with a veil on her face. Everyone in the audience watched her dance gracefully, like a dragon.
She was as graceful and light as a dragon. However, her smiles on the stage gradually attracted the emperor's attention.
I could only hear him murmuring to himself: "Jin'er..."
Concubine Shu was sitting next to the emperor. When she saw the emperor's expression and heard the emperor's murmurs, she still had a smile on her face. But this smile was very meaningful, and there was a strange flash in her eyes.
.
Although Murong Xi was not close to the emperor, she could naturally hear the emperor's murmurs due to her internal strength. Jin'er? Isn't that her mother's maiden name? Her father actually looked at the woman dancing in the audience and softly called her
Now, could it be said that her mother also danced this dance?
Murong Xi didn't notice the performance on the stage at first, but after hearing the emperor's shout, he carefully looked at the dancing woman under the stage.
Only then did she realize that the woman on the stage was wearing the clothes of Jiutian Xuannu. Looking carefully at the dance, wasn't this what she had done a few days ago while dressing up as her mother in the imperial garden and harem? This dance was still performed by Aunt Jade.
She was taught by herself, so why could the woman in front of her dance so well? She narrowed her eyes, then called Aunt Yu, and asked in a low voice: "Aunt Yu, do you think this dance is very familiar?"
"Your Highness, when I saw it just now, I was very surprised. This is the dance you learned some time ago. But..." Aunt Yu was caught in doubt.
"We'll talk about it when we get back," Murong Xi said briefly.
"Yes." Aunt Yu nodded and responded, then retreated.
After the song ended, the seven women knelt on the ground and said in unison: "I wish the Queen Mother happiness, longevity and health."
"Reward." The Queen Mother said with a smile.
"Wait a minute, you, what's your name? Can you take off the veil?" The emperor asked the woman in the middle intently.
The woman glanced at the emperor and then lowered her head. She did not speak and seemed to be very shy. Of course, she did not take off her veil.
Concubine Shu interrupted at this time and said: "What is the emperor asking you? What is this girl's name? Why don't you take off the veil?"
The girl was startled, then she knelt on the ground again and said, "Go back to the Emperor, Your Majesty. The girl's name is Luo Qin'er. Please take off the veil now." She lowered her head and took off the veil.
When the emperor saw that she had taken off her veil, he quickly said, "Raise your head."
Luo Qin'er slowly raised her head and looked at the emperor. The emperor suddenly stood up, looked at Luo Qin'er in shock and couldn't help shouting: "Jin'er, are you my Jin'er?"
Luo Qin'er couldn't help but lower her head when she saw the emperor acting like this.
The Queen Mother frowned. She was as shocked as the Emperor. When the woman was performing the dance just now, she did think that the woman's temperament was similar to Jin'er. However, just now she saw Luo Qin'er's appearance.
, this face is actually 60-70% similar to Jin'er. Although it is only 60-70% similar, the charm and temperament are 100% similar.
Concubine Shu was also a little surprised. The woman in front of her looked so similar to the Queen. When she saw the Emperor losing his composure, she hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, you scared Miss Qin'er."
The emperor was called back to life by Concubine Shu, and then he sat on the chair. Concubine Shu said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, may I ask you a few words?"
The emperor nodded, and then Concubine Shu said: "Miss Luo, where do you live? How did you come to Qingchengfang?"
Luo Qin'er said slowly: "To tell you that Qin'er's parents died when she was young, and she almost starved to death in the capital. It was the boss of Qingchengfang who brought Qin'er back. Therefore, she has been learning dance at Qingchengfang since she was a child.
This is also my first time performing in the palace."
"It turns out that Miss Luo's life experience is really pitiful." Concubine Shu said sympathetically.
The emperor's eyes still could not leave Luo Qing'er, and Concubine Shu naturally saw it clearly. At this time, Concubine Shu comforted the emperor with her hand, and then said slowly: "You all go down first."
"yes."
Concubine Shu called Eunuch Shun and whispered a few words in his ear before letting Eunuch Shun go down.
Luo Qin'er originally had her back turned to the ministers and envoys, but the moment she went down, people still saw her profile. Suddenly, a fiery gaze from below was staring at the leaving Luo Qin'er incredulously.
He clenched his fists tightly with both hands, as if he was about to rush over. In the end, his eyes calmed down and he resisted his impulse.
The emperor came back to his senses after seeing Luo Qin'er go down.
Murong Xi was also very surprised when she saw Luo Qing'er. Although her face was somewhat different from that of her mother, there was a 60-70% similarity between her eyebrows and eyes. The resemblance was not scary, but what was scary was that her dancing posture today was different from that of her mother.
The mothers and queens are very similar.
Ye Tianmo, the third prince of Nanzhao Kingdom, looked at it with amusement in his heart. He didn't know the background of this woman, but the emperor seemed to be very interested.
However, he had to complete today's task, especially what Murong Xi said just now. He thought that Murong Xi was not a fool at all. So, he stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, today I not only represent Nanzhao
The reason why I came to wish the Queen Mother a happy birthday is because my father wanted to marry the Linfeng Kingdom. I hope that the two countries can continue to maintain friendship and there will be no more wars."
Murong Yu looked at Ye Tianmo, thought for a while and then said: "Marriage? I wonder which royal family member of the Linfeng Kingdom the Emperor Ye wants to marry? My prince has not yet reached his prime, so I don't know..."
"Your Majesty has misunderstood. It is the emperor who wants me to marry the Linfeng Kingdom, not the princess." What he means is to choose a princess from the Linfeng Kingdom for marriage, not the princess to marry to the Linfeng Kingdom.
"Oh, but my two princesses have not yet reached the age of hairpins." Murong Yu said slowly. Murong Yan has not yet reached the age of hairpins, Murong Ya is still a child of seven or eight years old, and Murong Xi has never thought of letting her marry far away.
, let alone Nanzhao Kingdom.
"I heard that Princess Jingruo of Linfeng Kingdom is already pregnant and is your Majesty's eldest princess. I want to ask your Majesty to marry Princess Jingruo. I wonder what your Majesty's opinion is?" Ye Tianmo said with a smile. He was telling lies with his eyes open, Jing
If the princess hadn’t just gotten haircut?
"The third prince is talking about Xi'er. The third prince doesn't know. It took me fifteen years to find Xi'er with great difficulty. I am reluctant to marry her off so early. I also want to keep her for a few more years.
Nian, please forgive me, Third Prince." Murong Yu said with a smile.
"I am not in a hurry. It is natural that Your Majesty feels sorry for Princess Jingruo and is reluctant to part with her. I can go back and explain the situation to my father. Your Majesty can grant the marriage first, and then wait until two years later for me to marry you again." Ye Tianmo's eyes were filled with emotion.
Calculation, he said with a smile.
Are you reluctant? Are you still reluctant to marry you after two years? What's more, I am really not in a hurry.
Murong Xi looked at Ye Tianmo as if he were seeing a joke.
You have the courage to ask to marry me. Do you think that without my consent, my father would directly issue a decree to grant the marriage?
Murong Yu didn't expect that Ye Tianmo would be so difficult to deal with. Originally, he would give up the marriage on the grounds of reluctance, but what he didn't expect was that he actually said that he was not in a hurry and was still willing to wait two years?
However, Concubine Shu's eyes were full of smiles. It would be best if Ye Tianmo took Murong Xi away. It would save her the time to deal with Murong Xi.
Concubine Shu knew that the emperor was definitely not willing to marry Murong Xi, but she couldn't just remain silent. So, she smiled and said to the emperor in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the third prince is right. For Lin.
Fengguo, it’s okay to aggrieve Princess Jingruo first. Who said that the engagement can’t be broken off once the marriage is granted? It’s only two years, who knows what the situation will be like by then?”
Murong Yu thought about it for a while and agreed that Linfeng Kingdom could agree to the marriage first. And after two years, the engagement could also be terminated. However, Xi'er... Murong Yu was in a dilemma. He couldn't let go of Xi'er, but facing Nanzhao
The country's attacks are also difficult to deal with.
Murong Xi naturally listened to Concubine Shu's words carefully. What did Concubine Shu mean? The harem was not allowed to interfere in politics, so she wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to drive her away?
At this time, even the Queen Mother frowned slightly. Although she could not hear what Concubine Shu said, at this time, a woman should sit there quietly and not speak. Concubine Shu was so unruly.
However, Murong Xi wanted to see her father's attitude, so she just sat there and said nothing. Marriage? Are you kidding? If she was granted a marriage, she would leave immediately.
After thinking about it, Murong Yu decided to ask Murong Xi personally, so he asked slowly: "Xier, what do you mean?"
Murong Xi smiled, and then said to the third prince Ye Tianmo: "Is this the third prince? What is the purpose of Nanzhao's marriage?"
Ye Tianmo saw Murong Xi asking him, and then said: "Of course it is to consolidate the peace between the two countries. The princess doesn't want the two countries to start wars year after year, right?"
Murong Xi smiled even more wildly at this time, and she said: "Haha, what the third prince means is that if there is no marriage, the two countries will not maintain peace? If there is no marriage, there will be a war, right?"
As soon as Murong Xi said these words, Murong Wei wanted to applaud her. The peaceful coexistence between the two countries depends not on women, nor on the so-called marriage.
Ye Tianmo was also choked by her and couldn't say a word, but Ye Wuyou was a little angry. She thought that the marriage with Linfeng Country was to give Linfeng Country face. How could she know that Princess Jingruo was so ignorant of praise? She
He said arrogantly: "As a princess of a country, how can you say such a thing? It is a great blessing for my Third Emperor brother to marry you, why do you refuse?"
Murong Xi smiled again and said, "Are you that green onion again?"
Murong Yu also frowned after hearing this, and then said: "Third Prince, Princess Wuyou is right. My daughter thinks she is not blessed enough, so I will just forget about this marriage."
Ye Tianmo scolded angrily: "Wouyou, you still won't back down."
"Brother Imperial?" Ye Wuyou looked at Ye Tianmo aggrievedly.
Ye Tianmo said apologetically: "Your Majesty, Your Highness Princess, you are Wuyou and rude. Please forgive me."
Murong Yu snorted lightly and ignored Ye Tianmo.
Ye Tianmo saw this and said, "Wouyou must not be rude. I apologize to Her Highness the Princess."
"Brother Imperial, why should I apologize to her?" Ye Wuyou looked at Ye Tianmo and asked in confusion.
