Rebirth is not a dream.

Long Yi found Su Yue and reported to her, "Princess, we have received news that the Emperor of Northern Yan seems to have some actions at this year's annual banquet. In addition, the relationship between the Fourth Prince and the Southern Prince is also quite complicated. On the surface, the Southern Prince has more contact with the Sixth Prince, but in fact, he and the Fourth Prince also have some intersections."

Hearing this news, Su Yue's face became very serious. After thinking for a moment, she decisively ordered: "Continue to send people to monitor their every move. I want to know every plan and action of theirs."

Su Yue thought to herself, the Fourth Prince has always been known for his deep scheming. He has such frequent private contacts with the Southern King, he must have some ulterior motives. The Southern King's true intentions are even more confusing. Does he support the Fourth Prince, or does he have other intentions? All this makes Su Yue feel uneasy. She is determined to observe the annual banquet in person to prevent any unexpected situations. After all, the annual banquet is an important occasion where all forces will gather together. If she is not careful, it may trigger a political storm. Therefore, she must remain vigilant and be ready to respond to possible changes at any time.

As the New Year's Banquet approached, Su Yue became even busier. Not only did she have to arrange various affairs in the palace, but she also had to prepare for her performance at the New Year's Banquet. However, a shadow always loomed in her heart.

Qin Yi On the New Year's Day, they packed up early, and the people from An Ning Marquis's Mansion sat together in the carriage in front of the palace to attend the banquet. On the way, Su Yue was silent and thoughtful. She understood that this New Year's banquet would be a war without gunpowder. After arriving at the palace, Su Yue got off the carriage, her gorgeous dress fluttering in the wind, her beauty attracted many eyes.

Entering the banquet hall, Su Yue saw various dignitaries and princes. She smiled and greeted everyone, but her eyes remained alert. When she saw the Fourth Prince and the Southern King, her heart tightened.

The banquet started with singing and dancing, and everyone was laughing and talking. But Su Yue knew that behind this superficial harmony were countless political schemes. She kept an eye on the actions of the Fourth Prince and the Southern King, trying to find clues from them.

At this moment, Prince Nan suddenly walked towards Su Yue, raised his glass, smiled and said: "Your Highness, you are even more beautiful today." Su Yue smiled slightly and replied: "Prince Nan, you are too kind." The conversation between the two seemed normal, but Su Yue felt a strange atmosphere.

Su Yue felt a little strange, thinking that King Nan had clearly disdained her before and was even unwilling to acknowledge their brother-sister relationship, but now he suddenly became so enthusiastic.

However, she still responded with a polite smile: "Will the Emperor of Beiyan come to the banquet today?"

The Southern King chuckled and replied, "My father's injury has basically healed, and he will be present. Moreover, my father misses you very much and hopes that you can return to Beiyan and enjoy family happiness with him."

Su Yue was very surprised to hear this. She had never thought that people in Beiyan would have such an idea. But now that she was married, what should she do? More importantly, what about Qin Yi? Did they plan to take Qin Yi to Beiyan as well? Thinking of this, Su Yue couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Su Yue's lips curled up into a smile, looking very mysterious. At this moment, the emperor and the Emperor of Beiyan walked into the banquet hall together. Everyone stood up and saluted, and the scene was solemn and dignified.

Su Yue raised her head and her eyes fell on the two emperors sitting at the top. The Emperor of Beiyan was sitting there alone, without any concubines by his side. The Emperor Da'an sat side by side with the Empress, and Concubine Su sat at the bottom. The Queen Mother did not attend the dinner, and it was said that she did not like such occasions.

Su Yue was thinking secretly, wondering what would happen at the banquet tonight. The Queen Mother would not attend, could it be that she knew something in advance? Her eyes flickered, as if she was thinking about something important.

The emperor of Da'an stood up, delivered a speech, and announced the official start of the banquet. Suddenly, the whole banquet hall was filled with a joyful and festive atmosphere.

As the melodious music sounded, a group of beautiful dancers walked onto the stage and began to dance gracefully. Their dancing was so graceful and moving that it attracted the attention of everyone present.

Su Yue used the excuse of appreciating the dance to quietly focus her attention on the Fourth Prince. She carefully observed the Fourth Prince's every move, not missing any details. When she saw the Fourth Prince talking to other noble children, she found that although his tone was humble, his eyes revealed a kind of confidence and ambition.

At this time, the singing and dancing stopped, and Concubine Liang suddenly said, "Your Majesty, I heard that Princess Mingyue dances very well. Should we ask Princess Mingyue to help entertain us and pray for Da'an and Beiyan?"

Su Yue didn't expect that Concubine Liang would be so mean to her and even help to cheer her up, thinking she was a singing and dancing girl. Concubine Hui also said, "Yes, I think Princess Mingyue will care about the people of this world."

Su Yue thought that she hadn't said anything yet, but she was put here. She really had to dance. Su Yue smiled slightly, stood up and walked to the center of the stage. Her posture was elegant and her dance steps were light, like a fairy descending to the earth. The dance music was melodious, and Su Yue's skirt danced like petals, her beauty was intoxicating.

Everyone was amazed and applauded. A hint of admiration flashed in the eyes of the Emperor of Beiyan, while the expression of the Fourth Prince was a little complicated.

The princes were all amazed by Su Yue's dance. They didn't expect Su Yue's dance to be so graceful and moving. It was like both Hu Xuan Dance and Fei Tian Dance, which was eye-catching. This unique dance style made them feel very novel, and they couldn't help but admire Su Yue's talent.

Qin Jiaojiao also looked at her third sister-in-law in surprise, secretly feeling lucky to have such a versatile sister-in-law. She originally thought that Su Yue was just an ordinary woman, but now it seems that her talents are far more than that.

However, not everyone appreciated and praised Su Yue's performance. Lu Anruo looked at Su Yue dancing on the stage with jealousy, her heart full of resentment and dissatisfaction. She glared at Su Yue fiercely, wishing to pull her off the stage.

At the same time, the pearl necklace of Princess Yuan Xian, who was born to Yunpin and was beside Concubine Rou, suddenly broke and the beads scattered everywhere. Some of the beads somehow flew to the center of the stage and landed right where Su Yue was dancing.

Su Yue was dancing very fast, and suddenly she stepped on a bead, and her body instantly lost balance. She tried to stabilize her body, but because she was dancing too fast, she couldn't control her body from leaning forward. Su Yue was about to fall on the stage, and the consequences were disastrous.

At this critical moment, Qin Yi flew forward without hesitation and held Su Yue, who was about to fall. His action was quick and decisive, successfully preventing Su Yue from falling to the ground and protecting her from harm. At the same time, the Third Prince and the Southern King also took action almost at the same time, they also hoped to help Su Yue through this crisis.

After Su Yue stood firm, she sneered and walked towards Yunpin with a firm step. With anger flashing in her eyes, she waved her hand mercilessly and hit Yunpin's face hard. The crisp sound of the slap echoed in the air, making people gasp.

Yunpin covered her slapped face, her face full of astonishment and grievance, but before she could open her mouth, the Tenth Princess beside her angrily questioned: "How dare you! How dare you hit someone in front of me..."

Su Yue turned around, her eyes as cold as ice, and responded fearlessly: "Humph, you have the guts to hurt others, and you don't allow people to fight back?"

The Tenth Princess was so angry that her face turned red. She retorted sharply, "I was just careless, I didn't do it on purpose. How can you be so aggressive?"

Su Yue sneered and said sarcastically: "Haha, you only allow officials to set fires but not ordinary people to light lamps, right?" Her tone was full of disdain and sarcasm, as if she saw through the hypocrisy of the Tenth Princess.
