Chu Huaijin looked around with a serious expression, but no one dared to answer. In the past, the rich young ladies of the families of the ministers would compete to perform on stage as soon as the banquet started. Today, they were all mute. They either shrank their necks and did not speak, or pretended that they could not hear in their wine tasting clothes. Some even used the excuse of respect and left.
He sat high up in the air and saw the expressions of those people. At this moment, their evasive expressions were as ugly as they could be.
He frowned unhappily and pointed at the name of a minister on his right."Minister of Works, Lord Liu, I remember that Miss Liu's song was very stunning.”
" Ah…This, this…I'm afraid my daughter…" Minister Liu was shocked and wanted to refuse.
"Why? Is Lord Liu unwilling or is Miss Liu unwilling?”Chu Huaijin's cold gaze swept over him, and Minister Liu immediately cowered.
This young emperor of theirs was no longer a teenager who could be fooled by them.
Miss Liu struggled on the spot, but she could not resist her old father's helplessness. Helplessly, she could only get up.
Lin Mocheng looked at Chu Huaijin worriedly. He tried to hold it in, but in the end, he couldn't."Emperor, this old minister has something to say."
When he opened his mouth, Chu Huaijin immediately acted as if he was facing a great enemy. The thorns on his body instantly stood up. The civil and military officials who were far away naturally could not feel this, but Lin Yueying, who was sitting beside him, was really hurt by his thorns.
"Prime Minister, if you have something to say, say it.”Chu Huaijin's eyes were obscure, but his face was full of smiles.
Miss Liu's sparrow dance is indeed very good, reaching the acme of perfection, just like the sparrow in the forest. However, this old minister believes that at this moment, only the Empress..."
" I understand what you mean, Prime Minister…" Chu Huaijin interrupted Lin Mocheng rudely before he could finish his sentence.
He looked at Shen Pan 'er, who was sitting on the left."Since the Beichen emissary is so sincere in sending people to discuss and exchange culture, then we'll do the best. Pan 'er, I saw your Rainbow Dance last time. It was really unforgettable. Why don't you let the Beichen emissary experience it now?”
Shen Pan 'er was shocked when she was suddenly called out. She looked up at Mei Ji, who was already seated. She was slender and weak, as if she had no bones.
Her dance just now was delicate and gorgeous. It seemed ordinary, but there were many difficult movements in between. Moreover, the painting she created had the essence of the original work.
Although her Rainbow Skirt Dance was exquisite and elegant, if it was only compared to Mei Ji's dance, it might still be able to compete. However, if she added painting, she did not like to read since she was young. She did not seek to understand books, so how could she have such skills?
" Pan 'er, hmm…" Chu Huaijin looked at her with anticipation.
"I think your dance is the most beautiful in the world. No one can compare to you.”
"The emperor is too kind, ChenQie is ashamed to accept it.”Shen Pan 'er bit her lip. No matter how flustered she was, she came forward with a smile and charm.
She approached the Emperor's seat with small steps. In the past, she always hoped that there would be fewer steps on the steps so that she could be closer to the Emperor. But now, she only wished that the steps could be higher. If they were higher, she could take a few more steps so that she could stall for time and think of a way to avoid it.
When the spectators below the stage saw the Emperor's favorite concubine accept the challenge, they all stretched their necks and waited. They rubbed their fists and waved at the Beichen envoy. She told him not to be arrogant. She would definitely teach him a lesson later.
However, before the audience could finish provoking her, Lin Yueying had already noticed that Shen Pan 'er's expression was not right.
In the palace, it was neither cold nor hot. She usually wore thin clothes, but at this moment, a thin layer of sweat had formed on her forehead.
His hands were hidden in his sleeves, trembling slightly, and his legs were trembling.
She was scared!
The corners of Lin Yueying's lips curled up slightly. Before she could form a smile, she suddenly heard Shen Pan 'er scream. Her legs went soft and she fell to the ground, smashing her entire body in Chu Huaijin's direction.
" Ah…Your Majesty, Chenqie, Chenqie…" Before she could finish her sentence, Shen Pan 'er fainted.
What was going on?
The officials below the stage were all stunned. Only the Beichen envoy chuckled. His voice was full of mockery.
"It seems that we are destined to return disappointed today. The West Chu is so powerful, but no one is willing to teach us. What a pity.”
"Sudden thinking, don't be arrogant." Chu Huaijin's face was cold as he ordered people to help Shen Pan 'er down. It would be a lie to say that he was not disappointed. He had high hopes for her, but she was like this…
He looked at the civil and military officials again. His eyes were no longer as indifferent as before.
Beichen intentionally provoked him. If he didn't win this round, how would the West Chu travel in the four seas in the future?
Lin Yueying silently sipped the liquor in her glass, her throat burning.
Lin Mocheng's hands moved slightly, and he tried to get up again, but she stopped him with her eyes. She knew that her father wanted her to do it, but she was rejected by Chu Huaijin. Now…
"Ha ha ha, so the West Chu is just like this. Ai, West Chu Emperor, this one has always been straightforward and straightforward, so don't take it to heart.”Suddenly, he looked at all the ministers, but none of them dared to come forward. He calculated that none of them dared to come forward, so he couldn't help but be impudent.
Mei Ji's face, which was covered by a veil, also reflected an extremely charming smile.
Lin Yueying's eyes were stinging. Her slender fingers gripped the golden goblet tightly. Her knuckles cracked as she placed it on the table and slowly stood up.
"My West Chu has always been a country of etiquette and has always been polite and restrained. We don't do things that force others, and naturally we won't succumb to the provocation of others. Today, BenGong will experience Mei Ji's painting.”
She was dressed in a phoenix robe and makeup. Her makeup was solemn and her eyebrows were bright and imposing. Her temperament was as white as snow, pure and elegant. She did not even dance. Her aura had already suppressed Mei Ji.
While the crowd was amazed by their Empress's powerful aura, they could not help but look forward to what she would do to welcome Mei Ji's dance.
After Lin Yueying took the scalding yam, she gave Chu Huaijin a soft signal and stepped out.
Chu Huaijin watched as her yellow figure disappeared at the end of the side hall. Through the beaded curtains and jade, her slender figure was like a small boat floating in the middle of the lake. She looked weak and weak, but she was still strong. No matter how strong the wind and waves were, she was still floating on the lake.
When Shen Pan 'er heard that Lin Yueying had made a move, she could no longer pretend to be unconscious. She secretly opened her eyes and called the maid to investigate.
After a while, Lin Yueying appeared in the Longevity Palace.
Inside the hall, the glass lamps were shining brightly. Outside the hall, there was a crescent moon that shone on her white figure. She looked like a fairy from the Moon Palace who was walking on the moon.#
