The crabapple tree is fragrant in the tent, and the bright moon is in my arms

Everyone was looking at the imperial concubine, and Ning Ruxin gave Lan'er a look.

Lan'er nodded and walked out.

All the delicacies were served. Taoxi walked forward to serve Zhaoyue the food, lowering her head and not daring to look at the dancing Concubine Gao.

Zhaoyue looked across and saw that Prince Duanze had left the table. She wanted to laugh and looked at Grand Tutor Gao again, whose face looked as pale as a tree.

If Concubine Gao doesn't stop, he might faint.

But Concubine Gao danced more and more vigorously. As she turned around, she looked at Zhu Dingyuan. The burning heat in his eyes made her heart numb, and she wished she could turn into his arms.

Taoxi had arranged all the dishes when Zhaoyue suddenly smelled a strange odor. The odor was so strong that even Concubine Fang, who was sitting next to her, could smell it.

She asked Zhaoyue: "What does it taste like? It tastes like it's raw."

Taoxi looked at the unopened dish and said, "I'll take it down now."

"No need." Zhao Yue stopped her and touched the small cover on it, and a stream of red blood oozed out.

Accompanied by the disgusting fishy smell, Zhaoyue held his breath and looked at the palace concubine opposite him.

Someone used Concubine Gao's birthday party to deal with her.

Concubine Fang sniffed and said, "Maybe the imperial kitchen sent the wrong thing. It smells like raw meat. Are you scared, sister? Or you can leave it with me."

She had lived in the military camp with her father since she was a child, so she was naturally not afraid of these things.

Zhao Yue shook her head: "It's okay, just leave it there, there's only one dish on either side, there's nothing to be afraid of."

Only then did Concubine Fang hum.

Zhao Yue calmly looked at the expressions of everyone opposite her. Who... brought this plate of raw meat to her?

What is the purpose?

Concubine Gao's maid Caiyue was standing beside the seat. Zhaoyue's eyes paused, and the white ball in her arms was gone.

Zhu Dingyuan picked up the wine and looked at Grand Tutor Gao: "My dear, today's dishes were also arranged by Concubine Gao. How do they taste?"

His smile didn't reach his eyes.

"Okay, okay." Master Gao stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I am not feeling well and would like to go down and rest."

"Oh, I'm not feeling well. Just now I saw you speaking with full energy and in high spirits."

"Old minister, I drank a lot of wine today, which triggered my old illness. Your Majesty, please forgive me."

Zhu Dingyuan threw the wine glass on the table, not looking at him, staring at Concubine Gao's slender waist: "Grandmaster, I will send someone to take you back to the palace."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Concubine Gao's dance gradually slowed down as the music faded. She was panting and sweating profusely. Her dance rose and fell with her breathing, and her snow-white curves were clearly visible through her revealing top.

Zhu Dingyuan curled his lips and suddenly stretched out his hand.

She stopped, walked up step by step, and was pulled into Zhu Dingyuan's arms.

"My dear, your dance really surprises me." His fingers slid along Concubine Gao's skin towards her waist.

"Your Majesty..." Concubine Gao sat on his lap, her gentle face flushed with blush.

The queen's face turned pale.

The faces of the concubines in the palace below turned pale.

Huang Quan had sweat on his forehead and wanted to remind His Majesty that they were still at the birthday banquet and should be careful about the impact.

However, the queen did not speak, and he did not dare to persuade her. He could only look at Zhaoyue for help.

Zhaoyue saw Zhu Dingyuan lifting Concubine Gao's chin, looking like he was about to lose control.

The wine glass in her hand fell to the ground with a clinking sound.

Zhu Dingyuan's eyes were deep: "I will visit you again in the evening."

Concubine Gao reluctantly stood up from his arms and glanced at the Queen, her eyes full of pride.

What's wrong? Are the means used dirty? But she has regained the favor of His Majesty, right?

She didn't even go downstairs to change her clothes. She put on her cloak and sat back in her seat, with a smile in her eyes and uncontrollable joy.

Zhu Dingyuan looked at Zhaoyue. Everyone knew that His Majesty loved her the most now, so they all looked over.

Zhao Yue's wine glass fell to the ground. Her beautiful eyes could not hide her sadness. She bit her lip and there seemed to be tears in the corners of her eyes. She stood up and said, "I have drunk too much wine. I want to go out and get some fresh air."

After saying that, he left the table quickly.

Zhu Dingyuan's heart trembled. He wanted to explain and subconsciously wanted to follow him out. The queen held his hand with a pale face and said, "Your Majesty!"

"The birthday party isn't over yet."

Zhu Dingyuan clenched his hands, and after a few seconds, he picked up the wine glass in front of him: "Continue."

Concubine Gao breathed a sigh of relief. She knew that there was no way His Majesty would have real feelings for Zhaoyue. She would definitely be the winner today.

Ning Ruxin looked at Zhaoyue's empty seat with surprise. Why, why did she leave?

Lan Er returned to her: "Alright, young lady."

What's good about that? The person is gone. Look at how pitiful she looked just now, and she has made His Majesty feel so guilty.

She had finally gotten the things delivered to her desk, what should she do now?

Ning Ruxin comforted herself, it’s okay, there is still a chance, it’s impossible for her to be so lucky every time.

The next performer, Hua agreed that she would play the supporting role to the end and danced properly.

Prince Duan Ze came back and sat down to eat: "Where is Concubine Zhao?"

Yu Yuan: "Looks like he's sobering up."

Zhu Dingyuan had no appetite for his food and kept glancing at Zhaoyue's position, distracted.

When Zhao Yue came back, he heaved a sigh of relief: "Go, deliver this to Concubine Zhao."

The queen looked at his favorite dish and could hardly hold back her smile: "Your Majesty, it's time for me to drink my medicine."

Zhu Dingyuan glanced at her and said, "Have someone bring it here. We are still at the birthday banquet. You are the queen, how can you leave?"

"……Yes."

Zhaoyue sat down, her eyes a little red, making people wonder if she had just cried. The gaze from above her head was hard to ignore, but she didn't even look up, and even didn't touch the food that Zhu Dingyuan brought.

The plate of blood and meat on her table was gone, and Zhaoyue turned her head away.

Concubine Fang smiled at her apologetically and said, "I was a little curious, so I asked Cuiyun to come over."

Zhao Yue looked at the opened plate and said, "Sister, close it quickly."

Unfortunately, it was too late. When Zhaoyue stood up, a snow-white cat rushed out and flew towards Concubine Fang, letting out an ear-piercing and extremely sharp meow.

Concubine Fang reacted quickly, dodged quickly, and grabbed Zhaoyue's hand: "Don't come over!"

Zhaoyue was surprised by her quick movements. He never expected that she was so amazing.

Concubine Fang quickly pushed the plate of raw meat off the table. Xiao Yinzi rushed over from behind, and Bai Tuan followed the meat. He looked at the scratches on Concubine Fang's hands and felt angry.

He suddenly pounced on Bai Tuan and grabbed his neck, seemingly afraid of nothing.

These series of events left everyone present dumbfounded.

Before anyone could react, the dancer standing next to Hua Da Ying suddenly drew the sword from his waist and rushed towards Zhu Ding Yuan who had stood up: "You dog emperor! I will kill you!"

She attacked from the right side, and Concubine Gao screamed in fear. Prince Duan Ze rushed out from the banquet, grabbed the hilt of her sword with his bare hands, but was still stabbed in the shoulder.

He spat out a mouthful of blood.

Zhu Dingyuan was furious: "Yulin Guards!"

It's such a mess.

He looked at the fainted Prince Duan Ze, Zhao Yue who fell to the ground, and the injured Concubine Fang.

A pair of eyes as cold as ice stared straight at Concubine Gao.

Concubine Gao fell back to her seat, her face as pale as paper: "What, what happened..."
