Quickly wear the host, don't panic, the person hasn't run far yet

"I heard that Princess Lingxi grew up on horseback and has superb martial arts skills, not inferior to men."

Mu Wanxi's expression remained unchanged, and she even cooperated by coughing twice, showing her graceful demeanor of a weak willow in the wind.

But she didn't know that her cough made Luo Chen's brows furrow even more tightly.

"I'm sorry to make you laugh, madam. Those are just groundless rumors. Don't take them seriously.

But I am not proficient in these things. I am not as talented as the women in the north who are kept in seclusion.

Although he said he was going to perform a dance, it would be nothing more than a show of skill in front of the Empress.

Although I am in the South, I have heard that you, Madam, were an excellent dancer when you were young."

Having said this, Mu Wanxi deliberately paused. As expected, when Concubine Yu heard these words, she raised her head high, looking very proud and arrogant.

Mu Wanxi had a smile on her lips.

"I heard that your majesty is even better than the best dancer. Your majesty has captured the heart of His Majesty and danced for him every night, even when he was seriously ill.

It seems that Lingxi is indeed inferior to you. Your Majesty, you are truly a role model worthy of our emulation.

I wonder if Lingxi will have the honor to see the dancing of the Empress today? It would be nice to learn a thing or two. "

After these words were spoken, everyone had subtle expressions.

This passage sounds like a compliment, but if you think about it carefully, none of it makes sense.

Especially the part about Concubine Yu, which, when translated, means that Concubine Yu is good at flirting and using her beauty to please men.

A noble concubine is like a dancer, relying on dancing to win the emperor's heart every day.

Also requiring the imperial concubine to dance in front of all the ministers, isn't this obviously treating her like a dancer?

Princess Lingxi is really brave.

The queen's expression brightened up after hearing this, and she even smiled faintly.

She didn't like Lingxi at first, but seeing that all the men in the hall were looking at her, she felt that she was a beauty who brought disaster to the country and the people, and she had a foxy aura.

But what she said was quite to her liking, and made the queen feel relaxed both physically and mentally.

This Imperial Concubine Yu usually relies on her beauty to flirt and seduce the Emperor, and she even doesn't take me seriously. Humph, it's true that evildoers will be punished by God, and it seems that she has met her match today.

The queen had a smile on her lips. She picked up the wine glass and took a sip, looking as if she was enjoying a good show.

Concubine Yu's face suddenly turned red with anger. She naturally heard the hidden meaning of Mu Wanxi's words and scolded her.

"How dare you ask me to dance in public..."

As she spoke, Concubine Yu acted a little coquettishly and pulled at the corner of Emperor Qingyuan's clothes.

"Your Majesty, look at her..."

Emperor Qingyuan frowned, looked at the wrinkled corner of his clothes, and quietly pulled it back with force.

Although he also felt that Princess Lingxi was eloquent and good at making arguments.

However, he squinted his eyes and looked at Mu Wanxi who was standing there with an unbridled posture. He thought, it's not a big deal, so if she doesn't want to jump, then she won't jump.

"Well, since the princess is not feeling well, let's watch her dance another day."

Mu Wanxi nodded perfunctorily as a way of expressing her gratitude.

Seeing this, the queen came out to smooth things over.

“Although I cannot see Princess Lingxi’s dancing today, I have ordered people to prepare an exotic dance to welcome the envoys from the Southern Kingdom. Your Majesty, why don’t you just enjoy the dancers’ dancing first.

Although it is definitely not as good as Sister Yu’s, it must have a different flavor.”

Concubine Yu glared at the queen, looked at her smug face with resentment, and bit her lower lip tightly.

Old woman, let’s see how long you can be so proud.

She turned her gaze to Mu Wanxi below.

A bunch of bitches, all of them are against me, you little bitch, you will get what you deserve sooner or later...

Concubine Yu cursed angrily in her heart.

Emperor Qingyuan nodded slightly, which was considered as his agreement.

After letting Mu Wanxi and the others take their seats, everyone began to enjoy the dancers' dance while toasting each other.

After three drinks.

Emperor Qingyuan then looked at Mu Wanxi and asked casually.

"I wonder which of my sons Princess Lingxi has taken a fancy to?"

Mu Wanxi sneered in her heart, you old fox, you act like I have the final say on whoever I take a fancy to.

Mu Wanxi lowered her eyes and fiddled with the cup in her hand, as if she hadn't heard anything, and remained silent for a long time.

The sound of stringed instruments in the hall had stopped, and everyone was waiting for her answer with bated breath.

Suddenly, the hall was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

After a while, Mu Wanxi raised her head and said with a calm expression.

“I don’t like any of them.”

The air in the hall was stagnant for a moment, and no one dared to even breathe.

Emperor Qingyuan, who was sitting at the top, laughed out loud.

"Hahaha, great! As expected of a woman known as the reincarnation of a phoenix, she is indeed extraordinary.

I like this kind of personality."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked at each other with different expressions, wondering what the emperor meant.

Mu Wanxi couldn't help but frown.

You old fellow, wouldn't you...

Sure enough, the next moment Emperor Qingyuan continued to speak to himself.

"Since Princess Lingxi has never taken a fancy to my son, I think it is God's will. However, since the marriage between our two countries is imminent, why not take the Princess into the harem..."

Before Emperor Qingyuan could finish speaking, two voices sounded at the same time.

"Wait a moment."

"Wait a moment."

Mu Wanxi looked at Luo Chen who was frowning and curled the corners of her lips.

Without waiting for everyone to react, he spoke first.

"Your Majesty, are you planning to take me into your harem and give me some kind of position?"

Emperor Qingyuan looked at her with interest and didn't care that she interrupted him.

"That's exactly what I mean. However, I am not just giving you a random title. I grant you the title of Imperial Consort."

Mu Wanxi suddenly laughed.

"Your Majesty, if you really believe those absurd rumors, a mere position of imperial concubine is probably not enough, right?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the hall was filled with gasps and discussions, and everyone took a deep breath.

There was only one thought in my mind: this woman was too rampant!

She doesn't even care about the position of Imperial Noble Consort. Does this mean she wants to be the Queen of the Northern Kingdom?

The current queen is still sitting there, and she dares to say this. Does she really want to be the queen?

He even dared to openly refute the emperor's words in the hall.

To challenge the might of heaven is truly outrageous.

But Emperor Qingyuan still did not get angry, instead his eyes showed even more interest.

From time to time, his eyes would glance at Luochen who was frowning beside him.

The queen's face turned green with anger.

He no longer had the leisurely and contented expression he had just now, as if he was enjoying the show.

Upon seeing this, Concubine Yu snorted coldly, took a lychee from the plate in front of her, and began to peel it gracefully.

The people of the Queen's family were completely unable to sit still, fearing that the Emperor would really agree in a fit of impulsiveness.
