But such a surge of love only lasted a moment. In the blink of an eye, Yi Fang thought of what she wanted wholeheartedly. She packed up her messy heart, raised her eyes slightly, and looked sideways. Underneath her face, there was sadness that had no place to put, and she couldn't stop talking.
Xia Jie's embarrassment and sadness made Xia Jie frown and wanted to hold Yi Fang tightly in his arms, but finally gave up because of this moment, and all his heartache and pity turned into anger.
He suddenly turned around and looked at Dou Yilan on the stage. The singing and dancing had stopped at this time, and Dou Yilan was waving her flowing clouds and sleeves, saying goodbye softly. And this tenderness, in the eyes of Xia Jie now, became
Cover up their pretentiousness about Yifang's forced expressions!
A concubine who treats her concubine like a pig or a dog, a concubine who sells her concubine to fill a house, a concubine who indulges herself and even bullies her concubine with her siblings, and a concubine who is domineering in front of others and forces her concubine to be a concubine.
She was preparing for the journey to Qingyun. How gentle and gentle could such a mother and daughter be? How could a daughter raised by a woman like Dou Wang be so virtuous and virtuous? Xia Jie was even more angry.
At the same time, he suddenly thought of the jealousy and torture his mother-in-law had suffered in the hands of the late empress because of her father's favor.
Huh, he knows the faces of his legitimate mother, his first sister, his noble and dignified queen mother, his kind eldest brother in front of others, and his queen. The so-called direct descendants are nothing more than a mask!
Xia Jie's mentality has actually been part of Yifang's calculations. People always talk about life and status, but they don't know that the high-ranking emperor today was actually born to a concubine, and he is also a concubine. However, this
The concubine is the imperial concubine, and this concubine is just the prince.
Therefore, Yifang's guidance intentionally or unintentionally for many days finally allowed Xia Jie to ignite all the anger about his life and status that he kept secret in his heart at this moment!
.
How dare you call yourself Phoenix everywhere, Phoenix? She really thought that with a face like hers that could be seen everywhere in the harem, and with a song that imitated the phoenix dance of the woman in his arms, she could seduce him.
Being included in the harem and rising to prominence from then on? What a joke!
Facing Dou Yilan's bowing to say hello and cooing, Xia Jie's face was gloomy. After a sneer, he picked up the sake on the table and drank slowly. He neither expressed praise to Dou Yilan nor did he behave like before.
The usual reward was just silence, until this silence made the surrounding atmosphere more and more stagnant, and the courtiers and royal ladies looked at Dou Yilan with more and more contempt, Xia Jie still smiled and said nothing. At this moment, he
Saying nothing was the best humiliation and lesson for Dou Yilan. He wanted to see if this mother and daughter, who boasted of being extraordinary, could still smile so wildly and be so kind to the woman he cared about.
So contemptible.
Yifang sat nearby and saw Dou Yilan standing on the high platform with an increasingly ugly expression and anger on his face. Two intoxicating dimples appeared on his enchanting face.
She didn't speak for Dou Yilan anymore, because she didn't mean what she said. Of course Xia Jie could see it, but Xia Jie would think that she had to do it for the sake of her mother and brother's life in the Dou family. She could understand it, but in Xia Jie
After Jie's clear hint, if she still pleading for Dou Yilan, it would appear false and violate Xia Jie's taboo. Everything needs to be done with a certain degree of control.
Mother and daughter Dou Wang and Dou Yilan just didn't have a good grasp of that degree. They were self-righteous and had a higher heart than the sky. They didn't take everyone into consideration. They knew that her preparation for the Hundred Flowers Banquet was because the Dou family always wanted to give away their legitimate daughter.
The reason why they entered the palace was that they dared to bother their mother to choreograph a phoenix dance for them. When I learned the news, I felt so happy, which I had never experienced in a long time!
Phoenix dance, what kind of dance music is it? How can a mortal dance lightly? Besides, Xia Jie was arrogant and did not believe in ghosts and gods, let alone those rumors. Dou Yilan and her daughter tried to use the phoenix to gain momentum and gain favor in the palace, no doubt
This is a disguised threat, how can Xia Jie endure it?
So, don’t you want me to make proper arrangements for you? Don’t you want me to make you Dou Yilan famous and stand out from the crowd? I have agreed to all of them one by one. Look, Dou Yilan, now you are all the limelight, but you can’t get anything.
The emperor's reward has aroused countless resentments and complaints. Not only are you doomed to fail in tonight's draft, but even your future marriages will never be able to find a good match because of the accumulated grudges tonight.
As for your imitation of me, you are just imitating me. My phoenix dance, even if it is a phoenix posture, I dare not blatantly name it as a phoenix. What's more, the enchanting appearance that I have cultivated for ten years is not your short and deliberate move.
You can do it. How do you know that when you meet a man once, he is fresh and unique, but when you see him for the second time, he will be boring and regarded as worn out shoes!
I arranged for you to be taught by the best singers and actors, and paved the way for you to enter the palace. You, the legitimate daughters of the Dou family, are favored in the Qunfang Palace. I tried my best to build momentum for you at the Hundred Flowers Banquet, but what about you?
If I can't win Xia Jie's eyes, I will be rejected. Therefore, from now on, the Dou family has nothing to say to me. And you, Dou Yilan, this time, you are destined to lose, and you will be completely defeated, and there will be no chance of recovery!
From then on he became the abandoned son of the Dou family!
While Yifang sneered in his heart, Xia Jie's lukewarm words came to his ears with the cool night breeze.
"The dance of the phoenix, the legitimate daughter of the Dou family, captivated the country and the city. I am very happy!"
As soon as these words came out, the people around who were waiting to see how Dou Yilan lost face were suddenly disappointed. But Dou Yilan, who was anxious and uneasy in his heart, suddenly raised his head in surprise and looked at Xia Jie on the high platform.
With affectionate eyes, at the same time, he showed a proud smile to Yi Fang on the side. Dou Wang's face turned pale, and his face became rosy. But Xia Jie's next words made the proud couple
The mother and daughter were completely thrown into the abyss.
"The day before yesterday, the prince of Kucha Kingdom in the Western Regions submitted a letter, wishing to marry Daxia. The Western Regions are rich in luminous pearls, and Dou Yilan, the legitimate daughter of the Dou family, is also good at phoenix dance. I will take advantage of this banquet today to make Dou Yilan the Princess of Appeasement.
Marriage to Prince Qiuci."
The whole garden was silent for just a moment. Xia Jie's words fell on everyone's ears. In an instant, the world was turned upside down, and it had a different thunderous effect.
Kucha, Kucha, what kind of place is that? A bitter cold land outside the Great Wall. In order to reproduce, the Kucha country can exchange wives and concubines. The status of women, whether they are concubines or concubines, is nothing more than livestock for giving birth to offspring. But the people of this country
Shanwu, in order to appease this small country, Daxia sends a group of women to get married every year, but those women, not to mention the legitimate daughters of princely families, are concubines, and even ordinary people cannot compare. Because, they are sent there.
The women are all convicted official prostitutes selected by the Jiaofang Division!
At the sixth watch, I went to eat. I was delayed for a while. Please forgive me, sweat...
