The Queen sealed her heart and locked up her love, and the Emperor was trapped in the crematorium

Xie Yaoqing naturally knew nothing about the affairs of the previous dynasty. After getting up early in the morning, she went to play with the parrot as usual.

The parrot was the same one that Concubine Yi had given her. After being carefully trained by Zhiyu, it became more and more clever. It could utter many pleasing and auspicious words, which often made Xie Yaoqing smile.

With nothing to do, Xie Yaoqing couldn't help feeling a little bored.

At this time, Jue Xia suggested: "Madam, would you like to go for a walk in the Imperial Garden?"

Upon hearing this, Xie Yaoqing shook his head without hesitation to refuse.

Although the Imperial Garden is indeed picturesque and beautiful, with pavilions and towers scattered around, rockery and flowing water complementing each other, and it can be said that there is a scene at every step, even such a poetic and picturesque scenery cannot be resisted by looking at it year after year.

Xie Yaoqing had already spent a full ten years in the imperial palace. The extremely familiar scenery of the imperial garden had long lost its novelty and he had no interest in going there to see it.

It would be better for her to continue playing with the parrot than to let her visit the Imperial Garden.

"Zhi Yu, I remember that we just recruited a new group of dancers some time ago, right?" Xie Yaoqing suddenly remembered this matter.

Zhiyu nodded in response.

A hint of excitement flashed in Xie Yaoqing's eyes, and he instantly had an idea.

Xiao Chengxu was able to have beauties on both sides and enjoy all the happiness. She certainly couldn't compare with him, but she didn't need to put herself too hard on herself.

Musicians played the piano and flute, graceful dancers danced, and singers sang songs... Who says only men can indulge in the land of tenderness? Women can enjoy it too.

Anyway, it's just to kill free time, so just do whatever makes you feel comfortable.

The decision was made, and as soon as Xie Yaoqing gave the order, Feng Ning took the order and left.

Not long after, Feng Ning brought a group of people who met Xie Yaoqing's requirements to Kunning Palace.

For a moment, melodious music resounded in the ears, beautiful dancers fluttered and spun on the stage like fluttering butterflies, and the singing was as moving as the sound of nature...

Xie Yaoqing watched all this with great interest, not wanting to blink, and her mood became more and more cheerful. When she was in high spirits, she grabbed a handful of golden melon seeds and gave them to the singers and dancers to express her appreciation for their outstanding performance.

After receiving the reward, the singers and dancers performed even harder. After all, opportunities like today's are hard to come by and one doesn't always have such good luck.

The current emperor does not have much interest in singing and dancing. Except for banquets where they are needed to liven up the atmosphere, they are almost idle at other times.

The palace has always been full of people who curry favor with the powerful and look down on the weak, so they often suffer from the cold eyes and contempt of others.

However, it would be a completely different story if they could win the favor of the Queen. Even if the Queen only summoned them to entertain her and kill her free time, they had to do their best to serve her attentively and not let the Queen be dissatisfied in the slightest.

After a wonderful song and dance performance, Xie Yaoqing suddenly wanted to listen to pipa music.

It's a pity that the most skilled musician in the palace who plays the pipa has been bedridden due to illness and is unable to come to Kunning Palace to respond to the call.

"Does anyone among you know how to play the pipa?"

As soon as the voice fell, a woman in a green dress stood up and responded with a soft and gentle voice, "Your Highness, I have a little experience in pipa. If Your Highness does not mind, I am willing to perform a song for you."

Xie Yaoqing waved his hand slightly to show his agreement.

She wasn't a very picky person, she just wanted to have some fun to relieve her boredom, so as long as it wasn't too unpleasant to the ear, it was enough.

The melodious and graceful sound of the pipa rang out, flowing like a gurgling stream, accompanied by the clear and sweet singing, as if bringing people to the beautiful and picturesque water town in the south of the Yangtze River. The soft Wu dialect is gentle and delicate, containing endless tenderness and sweetness, which makes people intoxicated and unable to extricate themselves.

When the song ended, the lingering sound remained, and Xie Yaoqing was immersed in it, feeling that he was still not satisfied.

When Xiao Chengxu arrived, he saw Xie Yaoqing chatting and laughing with a group of beauties. Seeing how harmoniously he got along with each of them, he felt like a thorn was stuck in his heart. He felt depressed and uncomfortable and couldn't be happy.

The moment Xiao Chengxu appeared, the whole yard suddenly became silent. All the noise came to an abrupt end, and everyone knelt down to pay their respects.

Seeing this, Xie Yaoqing frowned slightly and couldn't help but glared at Xiao Chengxu fiercely.

I thought: Why did this guy come to my Kunning Palace again? He came here to act like an emperor, making everyone panic, as if he was about to be sent to the guillotine.

When it comes to ruining people's mood, Xiao Chengxu is really good at it. No matter how good the mood is, he can ruin it. This ability is quite rare.

"Why is the Emperor here again?"

As soon as Xie Yaoqing opened her mouth, her tone couldn't help but take on a sarcastic tone, making it clear that she was not welcome to Xiao Chengxu.

Xiao Chengxu seemed not to hear anything wrong, or maybe he noticed it but pretended to notice it. He spoke to Xie Yaoqing with a faint smile on his face and waved his hand to let all the bystanders leave.

When the singers and dancers saw this situation, they immediately understood and prepared to retreat. Xie Yaoqing couldn't help but frowned slightly, feeling a little unhappy.

She had specially called these people to add to the fun, and she hadn't even opened her mouth to say a word yet, but she didn't expect Xiao Chengxu to take the initiative.

"You don't have to stop, just continue singing, dancing and playing music. I am not satisfied yet."

There was obvious dissatisfaction in Xie Yaoqing's tone.

When the singers and dancers heard this, they all looked embarrassed.

After all, the one standing in front of them was His Majesty the Emperor, and the other was the Empress, the mother of the country. Faced with the different orders of the Emperor and Empress, they really didn't know which one they should obey.

There is no doubt that the emperor must not be offended, because the life and death, honor and disgrace of himself and others depend entirely on the emperor's thoughts. However, the queen is also a big figure who cannot be provoked. If the queen is accidentally angered today, I am afraid that there will be no good ending.

For a moment, the whole scene fell into an awkward and tense atmosphere. The singers and dancers stood there at a loss and could only wait quietly for further instructions from the emperor or queen.
