Xia Nian stared at the song and dance out of boredom, but someone used it as a topic of conversation.
Consort Hui asked," Princess, do you like singing and dancing? She was afraid that the princess would definitely achieve great success in singing and dancing in the future. No one in Xia Country could compare to her.”
Hearing this, Xia Nian thought to herself, Consort Hui, are you indirectly mocking me for being a girl? No matter how intelligent I am, I will be a disaster in the future.
The question itself made Xia Nian's interest wane. She calmly answered perfunctorily," Who doesn't know how to worry and dance in Apricot Blossom Tower?”
One had to know that Emperor Xia had chosen Consort Hui to enter the palace because of her dancing skills.
The elegant smile froze on her face. Consort Hui probably never thought that Xia Nian, who was less than four years old, would not show her any mercy. "Princess, you are talented."
It was unknown if he was intentionally changing the topic, but King Xia said," This king's Nian 'er likes to play with the beautiful flowers.”
The queen just smiled and said nothing.
"Father is teasing me." Xia Nian jumped down from her seat and ran to the Queen's side. She said angrily," Mother has invited Master to teach Nian 'er to dance, but no matter how many years it takes, she can't dance to Apricot Blossom Tower. I'm afraid Empress Hui is praising me too much."”
Just as everyone was immersed in their own thoughts, a delicate shout suddenly erupted from within the hall," Kill!”
Xia Nian turned around in surprise and saw dozens of dancers in colorful clothes pulling out their weapons from their sleeves.
"Assassins!" The guard reacted immediately." Protect the emperor!”
The Vermilion Bird Palace Hall was in a mess. The sounds of weapons clashing, cries, and cries were mixed together. Xia Nian was protected by a guard as she retreated. Unfortunately, the lead dancer, the girl in red, flew over. The short sword in her hand flashed with silver light, and the guard's throat instantly turned red. She widened her eyes in fear. No one could take care of Xia Nian. In the next second, she was brought into someone's arms and a sharp blade was placed on her neck.
"Stop!" The girl in red brought Xia Nian back to the center of the hall.
The guards immediately stopped attacking and waited for the emperor's order.
Emperor Xia was originally protected at the back. When he saw Xia Nian being captured, he disregarded his own safety and pushed through the crowd to come out. He said in a deep voice," Let go of the princess!”
"Release?" The young girl's breath was like orchids and her voice was charming. "If we let the princess go, will Emperor Xia let us go?”
Suddenly, she felt a pain in her neck and a cool breeze swept across it. It seemed that it had been broken. Xia Nian suppressed her anger and murderous intent and said calmly," I don't think Sister has any grievances with the royal family. Who hired you to work for them?"”
"Princess, do you think Die Yi will say it?"
So her name was Die Yi.”
"Then why bother asking Die Yi?”
"Perhaps this princess doesn't want to be someone's hostage and feels uncomfortable.”After the two sides were in a stalemate for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Xia Nian said," Sister, why do you need to use this princess to threaten me?"”
Xia Nian purposely emphasized the word 'princess' to tell Die Yi that if Emperor Xia really wanted to capture the assassin, she was just a small princess and could be sacrificed at any time.
Whether it was the assassin, Emperor Xia, or the queen, they all understood the meaning behind Xia Nian's words. The queen's already pale face turned even paler.
Die Yi suddenly laughed lightly," The princess is not like a child.”
"Many people say that about this princess, but I still have to thank elder sister for her praise.”Xia Nian was speechless. She didn't expect Die Yi to skip her words.
Perhaps Die Yi knew that Emperor Xia couldn't bear to see Xia Nian get hurt.
"Die Yi admires Junzhu's courage. It's not wrong to let Junzhu go today. However…" Die Yi whispered into Xia Nian's ear," Princess, please try to protect us and our sister.”
"Phew." Xia Nianxin heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed like there was still room for negotiation.
