Rebirth is not a dream.

Su Yue took a sip of tea from the table and watched the singing and dancing performance in the banquet hall. The emperor and the queen were watching with great interest, and all the ministers were watching attentively. At this time, Concubine Su came late. As soon as she came, she attracted everyone's attention. She was dressed in gorgeous clothes, with exquisite makeup and graceful manners. The emperor smiled and waved to her, motioning her to sit next to him. Su Yue watched all this and secretly admired Concubine Su's charm.

However, she noticed that Concubine Su's eyes looked at her from time to time, which seemed to have a hint of deep meaning. At this moment, the music stopped abruptly, and a dancer suddenly fell to the ground, causing a commotion. The emperor's face changed slightly, and the ministers around him whispered to each other. Concubine Su took the opportunity to say: "Your Majesty, I think this dancer's skills are not good enough. Why not let my maid perform a dance to entertain you?" The emperor nodded and agreed to her proposal. A graceful maid walked onto the stage and began to dance.

Su Yue watched the palace maid dancing quietly, but a trace of doubt arose in her heart. She always felt that Concubine Su's behavior was a little strange, as if she had ulterior motives. As the dance progressed, Su Yue found that the palace maid's dancing posture became more and more enchanting, and her eyes teased the emperor intentionally or unintentionally. The emperor was obviously attracted, and a trace of desire flashed in his eyes. Seeing this, Concubine Su raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing an imperceptible smile. Su Yue realized that this was a trap set by Concubine Su to lure the emperor into the trap. She couldn't help but feel worried about the emperor, and was also shocked by Concubine Su's methods. Just then, the dance ended, and the palace maid knelt down to thank her. The emperor was very pleased and rewarded the palace maid on the spot.

Concubine Su chuckled, and looked at the emperor with a hint of charm in her beautiful eyes, and asked in a delicate voice: "Your Majesty, do you like this dance, or do you like the person who dances?"

The Emperor raised his lips slightly when he heard this, and chuckled, "Are you jealous, my beloved concubine?"

Seeing this, Concubine Hui on the side said sarcastically: "The Queen didn't say anything, but Sister Su really took advantage of her favor and became arrogant!"

The queen smiled and responded gently: "This world belongs to the emperor. What does a mere dancing prostitute mean to you? I'm sure Sister Su won't care about these things."

A trace of displeasure flashed across Concubine Su's eyes, but she soon regained her smile and said tenderly, "It is a blessing for this maid to be favored by the emperor. This is a gift from me to the emperor, so how can I not be happy? As long as the emperor is happy, I will be satisfied."

The emperor nodded and smiled with satisfaction, "Well, today is a happy occasion, and I have received your kindness. Since this palace maid dances so well, let her go to the Jiaofang Division to continue dancing."

Concubine Su nodded obediently and replied, "Everything will be subject to the emperor's arrangements. After all, they are all the emperor's people, so naturally they have to put the emperor first." After saying that, she bowed slightly, showing a submissive attitude.

At this time, the Li King of Beiyan stepped forward and said, "I will present the performance of my Beiyan warriors." He clapped his hands.

A group of strong warriors came onto the stage. They were tall, muscular, holding weapons, and moving in unison. They looked well-trained. The performance began, and the warriors displayed various exquisite martial arts, which drew cheers from the crowd. The emperor was very pleased and praised the King of Li.

Princess Qingwu looked at the Sixth Princess and the Seventh Princess with a smug look on her face and said, "This is a performance. It's much better than those sleazy songs of yours, isn't it?" The Sixth Princess rolled her eyes and said sarcastically, "You are just barbarians." Princess Qingwu didn't care at all. She turned to look at Su Yue and asked her, "Princess Mingyue, what do you think?"

Su Yue was just there to watch the fun, but she didn't expect that things would suddenly turn to her. She was stunned for a moment, then smiled helplessly and said, "What's the difference? It depends on personal preference. Just watch what you like." Princess Qingwu frowned and said disdainfully, "Princess Mingyue has really been raised by Da'an to be smooth and has no integrity at all."

Su Yue muttered to herself, why are these princesses so difficult to serve? What did she do to get involved for no reason? But she still kept a smile on her face and said indifferently: "Can character be eaten? Besides, whether I have character or not is not something Princess Qingwu can decide at will." After saying that, she smiled again, as if to protest to Princess Qingwu.

The Sixth Princess raised her lips slightly, revealing a smug smile, and said, "Su Yue, you are really unpopular!" Su Yue was a little unhappy when she heard this, but she did not refute it immediately. She thought to herself, does this Sixth Princess have no brains? How did she grow up? However, just as Su Yue was about to respond, the Fourth Prince suddenly stood up and said, "Sixth sister, please watch your words." His voice was low and powerful, with an unquestionable majesty.

The Fourth Prince's words made the Sixth Princess feel somewhat dissatisfied. She pouted her lips and stopped talking. The atmosphere on the scene suddenly became somewhat awkward and tense, as if the air had solidified. Everyone was silent, not knowing how to break the deadlock.

At this time, Su Yue realized that she needed to ease the atmosphere, so she smiled and said, "Don't be too restrained, this is just a performance. There's no need to hurt the harmony because of this." Her tone was light-hearted and cheerful, trying to ease the tense atmosphere.

The emperor also nodded in agreement and said with a smile: "Su Yue is right. Today we are just here to have fun. Don't let these little things spoil our fun." His words were full of affinity, making people feel relaxed and happy.

Prince Li smiled and said, "Princess Mingyue is so generous. I admire her." Then he raised his glass and toasted the emperor. Everyone also raised their glasses and drank it all.

At this time, a group of people walked in from outside, led by a strange face, but he was dressed in the attire of the Northern Yan royal family, which was particularly eye-catching. Behind him followed the Southern King. Su Yue couldn't help but look at Qin Yi in confusion and asked, "Who is this person? What's the situation?" The emperor stood up from the dragon chair and said with a smile, "The emperor of Northern Yan, welcome to Da'an." The ministers stood up and saluted. Someone stepped forward to arrange seats for the emperor of Northern Yan, and everyone sat down as host and guest. Su Yue looked at the emperor of Northern Yan curiously, her heart full of surprise and confusion. She never thought that at this moment, the emperor of Northern Yan would visit Da'an in person. Although the two countries currently maintain a relatively peaceful relationship, who can know whether this superficial calm really means real peace? In this complex and changing era, anything can happen, and Su Yue couldn't understand what the king Ding said to the emperor after returning to Northern Yan, so that the emperor of Northern Yan dared to take such a big risk to come to Da'an. Is it just because of Princess Ming Zhao's matter? Or is there a deeper reason behind it? What kind of agreement did the Emperor of Beiyan and the Emperor of Da'an reach that made the Emperor of Da'an regard this visit as a happy event? However, Su Yue felt a vague uneasiness. She always felt that things were not that simple, and there seemed to be more unknown factors waiting to be solved.
