The Regent's Little Wife

Three days later feast

The strength of Beili Dynasty is also very powerful, comparable to the second Si Dynasty.

Li Yuan brought Empress Feng Nishang, Prime Minister Qin Rui, Imperial Master Wanqi Cheng, and Jinyiwei Chief Minister Lou Shuheng to attend the banquet. A total of five people attended the banquet.

Li Yuan came here to see his biological daughter Sang Ning. Because the queen was ill and could not attend, Sang Ning had to dress up and attend on her behalf.

This was the first time in three years that Sang Ning had dressed up to attend a ceremony. It was also the first time for all the civil and military officials to see Sang Ning. On the day of the empress's enthronement ceremony, only a few officials had seen her, but most officials had never seen Sang Ning.

But the banquet had already begun and the officials did not see Sang Ning or the queen. The officials felt strange. Wasn't it said that Concubine Ning would attend the banquet today? But where did Concubine Ning go?

Any performance is required before the banquet. At this time, a woman wearing exotic clothes, holding a pipa in her hand, flew down slowly from the air.

He was seen dancing with a group of fluttering ribbons and flying in the air. He had a deep state of mind. All the ministers had never seen such a dance before.

The dancer's body was as soft as a ball of cotton, twisting from head to toe, forming an S-shape. Accompanied by the beautiful pipa music, it was like entering a fairyland.

At the last note, the pipa music stopped abruptly. The woman came to the emperor.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. This Flying Dance just now... is a gift to you. Please accept it, Your Majesty."

Emperor Beili just watched the whole dance, and saw the woman called herself "concubine". She was... Only then did he raise his eyes and carefully observe the woman in front of him. She turned out to be Sang Ning's own daughter. He was just appreciating her graceful dance and did not look at her appearance.

Shen Yan raised his hand with a smile on his face.

"Your Majesty, I will go downstairs to change my clothes..."

Only then did all the civil and military officials realize that the woman who had just danced was actually Concubine Ning.

"Wow, this is Concubine Ning? Concubine Ning can actually dance. I clearly remember that she couldn't do anything six years ago. I remember that time was the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet. At that time, His Majesty had not yet become the emperor, and she was still a princess. As a result, she became the laughing stock of the entire court."

"It was a sharp contrast with the most talented woman in the Si Dynasty. Everyone called her the most stupid woman in the Si Dynasty. Later, it seemed that the regent would not let her appear at any banquet. I didn't expect her dancing to be so perfect."

At this time, another person next to him spoke.

"Yes, it would be impossible to dance like this without more than ten years of practice. It was during the Mid-Autumn Festival six years ago. She did it on purpose."

"This is the Prime Minister's cleverness. He deliberately let his daughter pretend to know nothing. So that no one would pay attention to his daughter. Now is the time for her daughter to appear. Didn't you see? As soon as her daughter appeared, the newly appointed queen was overthrown by this woman. She was overthrown in just a few days."

"No wonder the Prime Minister acted as if nothing had happened after his daughter made a fool of herself that year. It turns out he had a backup plan."

At this time, a woman nearby heard their conversation and said unhappily, "It's just a dance. She is a waste. I guess she practiced this dance in the past few years in the palace. I don't believe that his literary talent is so good."

The one who was speaking was Prime Minister Lin’s daughter, Lin Yao, now the wife of the Shangshu Mansion.

"Why? Just because she is a concubine, she is qualified to attend this kind of banquet. If Sister Dieyi was not sick and could not attend, would she have a place here?"

When the civil and military officials nearby heard the Shangshu's wife's lofty remarks, they thought to themselves, how could Prime Minister Lin give birth to such a brainless daughter?

One of the ministers could not help but say, "Even though she is a concubine, she is still noble. She is now your Majesty's consort. Madam Shangshu, please be gentle with your words. If these words were heard by Concubine Ning, what do you think she would do to you?"

"You... I am the legal wife. Even after I die a hundred years later, I will be buried with my husband. But it's different for her. She will always be just a concubine." He raised his voice as he spoke.

But what she said was heard by Sang Ning and Shen Yan.

The Shangshu beside him felt so embarrassed. He didn't expect his wife to say such words in such a serious occasion. If he angered the emperor, his life would be in danger.

"Okay, stop talking. Do you think you can say anything about His Majesty's harem?"

"Oh... Jun Youxian, I am your wife, and my father is the prime minister. Who gave you this position as the minister? If it weren't for my father, would you be able to sit in this position? How dare you criticize me in front of so many people? If it weren't for my father, you would probably still be working in the Dali Temple. I'm telling you, Jun Youxian, to look at the situation clearly first."

Lin Yao was there mindlessly criticizing her husband. Her voice was quite loud, and the ministers around her could hear it.

Jun Youxian was originally the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple. Three years ago, Lin Yao took a fancy to him and forced her father to ask the emperor to grant her marriage to Jun Youxian. After Jun Youxian married Lin Yao, Lin Yao beat and scolded Jun Youxian like a shrew every day. She looked down on Jun Youxian's position because the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple was only a fourth-rank official, which was too embarrassing in front of his friends. So she regretted marrying such a man, so she asked her father to make Jun Youxian the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, a second-rank official.

So she insulted Jun Youxian more unscrupulously every day, saying that if it weren't for him, he would never have been able to sit in the position of Minister of Revenue.

Jun Youxian was a second-rank official in the imperial court. But when he returned home, he was not even as good as a servant. Even Prime Minister Lin couldn't stand it and often advised his daughter not to treat her husband like this, as it would chill her husband's heart. But Lin Yao was very confident and said that Jun Youxian would not dare to do this. He was just a coward and a waste.

Sang Ning looked at Lin Yao. It turns out that you are like this in every life. In the next life, you almost made me fall into your trap. It seems that this evil is evil in nature. If I don't teach you a lesson today, it seems that you don't know that the horse king has three eyes.

"So you are the Shangshu's wife. How about we compete in literary talent at today's banquet? Madam Jun..." Sang Ning's aura was very strong. She looked at Lin Yao in front of her with a smile.

Lin Yao suddenly felt a chill on her back. What was going on? He never dared to look me in the eye, but now he dared to look me in the eye, and it seemed like I was a little afraid of him. Why should I be afraid of you? You are just a concubine.

"Okay, let's compete in literary talent. If I lose, I will be punished. Are you willing, Your Majesty?" Lin Yao thought that her literary talent was first-rate. Could this loser in front of her compare with her?

"Okay, I agree." Sang Ning sneered inwardly, "Lin Yao, Lin Yao, today is the day you die."

"My lady, if you lose, you will kneel down and serve me tea...how about that?"

As soon as she said this, the civil and military officials below began to discuss.

"He doesn't care about the Three Bonds and Five Constant Virtues. He actually dared to ask Concubine Ning to kneel down and serve her tea. I think he is risking his life. It seems that Prime Minister Lin's position is unstable. It's really unfortunate to have a daughter like this."

"That's right, we are just waiting to see Prime Minister Lin make a fool of himself..."
