"My beloved, don't worry. You have worked so hard on the Hundred Flowers Banquet, and I will reward you for eating with me at the same table. I believe all the ministers will have nothing to say."
Xia Jie patted Yi Fang's hand, expressing sympathy and comfort. After his sharp eyes stayed on Yi Fang's face for a moment, he turned to look at the group of people below. Wherever he looked, everyone avoided.
Seeing this scene, Yifang felt a little calm. She couldn't figure out why Xia Jie suddenly changed his color again, but she could keenly judge Xia Jie's mood at the moment. As long as she didn't offend Long Yan, she had nothing to worry about.
.
However, seeing the courtiers below, who clearly had a lot of contempt in their hearts, but did not dare to speak out, Yifang's contempt made her originally sluggish mood gradually become happy.
Seeing Yi Fang's smile again, a lot of the anxiety was gone. Xia Jie felt a little happier. He wanted to do more things for this woman, he wanted to cherish her, but one day in the future, he would inevitably have to do something for her.
Hurt her. This early realization made Xia Jie feel a dull pain in his heart. The doubts he had at the beginning turned into smoke and disappeared.
It was a foregone conclusion that Yifang was sitting next to Xia Jie. She was enjoying Xia Jie's rare tenderness and thoughtfulness calmly. If a woman wants to capture a man's heart, she can't fulfill her long-cherished wish by simply maintaining a distance.
Sooner or later, complete alienation will make a man's desire for your beauty disappear. Relaxation is the way to win.
While the emperor and the imperial concubine were enjoying each other's faces, a song and dance on the stage in the distance had stopped. It still did not cause any disturbance in Xia Jie. It was Yifang's soft whisper that made Xia Jie stop admiring the people around him.
After coming back to his senses, he touched his hand, and the routine reward of cloth was given, and another legitimate daughter retreated behind the scenes with a disappointed look.
As the song and dance stopped, countless bright candles were lit on the stage. Those candles rose one after another and slowly rose into the sky, connecting to form a huge phoenix shape. It was an ingenious workmanship. While everyone was astonished,
, a firework soared into the sky, and after the explosions scattered, the nine-sky phoenix appeared in front of the eyes, dazzling the eyes. Before they could fully recover, the music suddenly rose, and on the stage, a lotus-shaped bone slowly rose out, with carved petals.
The workmanship is meticulous, just like the real model, and even has a refreshing fragrance. People's eyes have been attracted to it. At this time, the orchestra behind the scenes played music, which was exciting and majestic but also a little sad.
The lingering melody aroused people's strong curiosity, waiting for the lotus to bloom and show her final posture.
The flowers bloomed and people came out. It turned out to be a woman with exquisite makeup. She was dressed in colorful phoenix clothes. She was rotating extremely under the reflection of the fireworks. The fire burned in people's eyes and hearts. She stepped on the flower stamens lightly with her toes, accompanied by the flow of water.
The sound of clouds singing, a flourishing song and dance, and the tragic song of a dancing phoenix finally revealed all her hidden clues.
When the rotation suddenly stopped, people couldn't help but be shocked when they saw the real body that lowered its head and looked back. It was Dou Yilan, the daughter of the Dou family!
Once the appearance was revealed, people had more distracting thoughts about this phoenix dance that was supposed to shock people's hearts.
Concubine Yi really loves the Dou family. Why does she have a grudge against the family because of her concubine? Look at how much Concubine Yi spent and how much she missed the opportunity to let Dou Yilan, the legitimate daughter of the Dou family who is most qualified to aspire to the throne of queen, enter the palace.
.There were several direct daughters of the Dou family before, but they were not treated like this, let alone the girls from their respective families. Such blatant favoritism, such painstaking arrangements, and the use of phoenix as a foil, even if they look at this song and dance.
In terms of meaning, I'm afraid the emperor will also pay more attention to it.
Once you fall in love, with such dance and music, how can you not smoothly enter the palace and accompany you!
Such thoughts are like poison that can spread silently in the air. Once it enters a person's mind, it will spread quickly. Therefore, people who already have a bad feeling towards the Dou family are even more shocked at this moment. Like having an enemy for three lifetimes, he has hatred in his heart.
As for Dou Wang, when she saw Dou Yilan's performance on the stage, and then secretly saw Xia Jie holding the wine glass with a focused look on her face, her heart was filled with infinite joy and excitement.
It was indeed worth giving up the hatred for a while. Although Hua Piaoling is a humble concubine, she is indeed different from others when it comes to singing and dancing. Otherwise, she will not be able to attract the Marquis to look at her again when he has not looked at her for a long time. His heart was seduced. But he, putting down his face, let Hua Piaoling personally perform a Phoenix dance, which was more charming than the dance of that bitch in Dou Yifang. What's more, it also concealed the meaning of Phoenix dance for nine days.
Only her legitimate daughter would dare to perform such a dance, Dou Yifang... Huh, after today, it will be the time for you, the bitch mother and daughter, to kowtow to me and beg for mercy again!
Mrs. Dou's face now showed deep hatred without concealment. She looked at Yifang beside Xia Jie, her ferocious smile was full of the joy of success and showing off.
Seeing Dou Wang's face like this, the smile in Yifang's heart spread like the spring water of three rivers. She seemed not to be aware of Dou Wang's arrogance at this moment. She gently shook her raccoon fan and put it next to Xia Jie's ear, speaking softly like The oriole murmured.
"Your Majesty, do you think my concubine's sister looks exactly like the Nine Heavens Phoenix?"
"Do you really think Dou Yilan can be called a phoenix?"
Xia Jie turned around and stared at Yi Fang. His hand firmly grasped Yi Fang's hand under the desk. At this moment, the bones were clearly visible due to the force. There was anger in his heart that could not be hidden. This woman knew that The so-called phoenix was just a carefully arranged show, and it was arranged by herself. If that was the case, why did she still talk and laugh like this in front of him, or even say such empty words openly?
"Your Majesty, I am my concubine's sister..."
Yi Fang's water-colored eyes quickly flashed with helplessness that Xia Jie could catch. From the corner of her eye, she looked at the ladies of the Dou family with an insincere and cold look.
Xia Jie was angry and heartbroken again. He quickly squeezed Yifang's hand, forcing Yifang to turn around and look into his eyes, listening to his firm words.
"Dou Yifang, listen, now that you have entered the palace and become my woman, you don't have to worry about anyone else. In your heart, as long as you have me, that's enough!"
Yifang was shocked. Although she was pretending step by step to be forced to hold a Hundred Flowers Banquet, hoping to induce Xia Jie's pity and dislike of Dou Yilan and the Dou Wang family, she did not place any hope. At this time You can hear any guarantee from Xia Jie. However, such a sudden domineering but warm few words, even if they are so blunt, make Yi Fang's closed heart, at this moment, hit hard. It has already been covered with dust. Even the rusty key began to crumble!
