Master's Chief Disciple

The two maids were stunned for a while when they saw her beauty. In the blink of an eye, it was evening twilight, which happened to be the time for the banquet to start.

Many ministers and related people have already taken their seats in an orderly manner. Mu Huayan is sitting in a sedan chair pulled by a spirit beast and is heading to Changle Palace.

There were also many people from other palaces flying along the way, and the atmosphere was very chaotic. Many unknown gentlemen were attracted by the strange fragrance emanating from her sedan chair.

When the autumn wind blows up the light pink gauze curtain of the sedan chair, you can vaguely catch a glimpse of the beauty sitting in the sedan chair. Unfortunately, you can't see her beautiful face.

The two maids who were driving away the spirit beasts secretly covered their mouths and laughed at those who tried to peek. About a quarter of an hour later, they arrived at Changle Palace.

When she landed in the air, she instantly attracted a lot of people's attention. Two of them were Su Mei and Gu Lianyin.

There was a hint of jealousy and surprise in the eyes of the two men, not understanding why she was still alive and well, so they held hands tightly and watched her attract everyone's attention.

"Who is this girl? Even though I can't see her face, judging from her beautiful posture, she must be a stunning beauty."

"Such a stunning beauty is hard to find in this deep palace."

"Look at her appearance, she must be a dancer."

"What? Just a dancer? What a pity."

"If she is really a dancer, then wouldn't we have a chance to chat with her?"

"......"

Amidst everyone's curious gazes and praises, she walked into the backstage of the hall. The structure of this hall is divided into the main hall where everyone sits and watches the performance,

The main seat on the middle step is the seat of the current emperor, and there are two seats on the left and right sides.

On the left and right sides of the steps are seats for ministers and court officials.

At this moment, Gu Qingtang and the dancers were waiting in a side hall, ready to start the performance at any time. The concubines were also waiting in another side hall. Su Mei paced back and forth, wondering why Gu Qingtang was fine.

She wanted to run out but was stopped by the maid at the door, "Please wait here, Princess, and don't leave again."

She had no choice but to give up and kept moving around restlessly, her eyes fixed on the outside of the palace. Gu Lianyin came over and told her not to worry and to wait for news.

The hall was filled with laughter and chatter. The hall was now completely occupied. Just as someone was wondering why the emperor had not yet appeared, a woman with an elegant temperament and elegant clothes entered the hall.

Everyone present stood up and saluted, saying, "We are here to see the Grand Princess!"

Behind her were two palace maids holding up her long skirt. Then everyone noticed a strong aura emanating from outside the palace.

They all looked towards the entrance of the hall, and saw a man with extraordinary temperament sitting on a dragon-shaped sedan chair.

In front of everyone's eyes, he waved his sleeves and stepped into the air. When his toes touched the ground, a very strong aura emanated from him.

He stood outside the hall with an air of looking down upon the world, wearing a deep blue brocade robe and holding a jade fan in his hand.

A pair of eyes like the abyss were cold but sharp, and a cold smile was on his handsome face.

"Your Majesty, I bow to you."

He just responded indifferently and walked up the steps to take a seat. The eldest princess smiled at him, and then a gorgeously dressed and beautiful woman walked in from the door.

"I am waiting to see the princess."

Song Wanyin smiled and nodded in response, then sat down on the left side of His Majesty. She called out to His Majesty and elder sister softly.

The current emperor's sharp and cold eyes swept through every corner. His eyes were as sharp as a blade, as if he could see through the secrets in people's hearts.

"My dear ministers, please take your seats."

As His Majesty spoke, an extremely powerful aura spread out in all directions, and everyone sat down upon hearing his words.

"Since ancient times, the king has been respected. The king is the most powerful. I hold the kingship because it is the destiny."

When he said this, a chilling light flashed in his eyes, and his calm tone revealed a domineering aura.

After the words were spoken, several people present had gloomy expressions, but they quickly adjusted themselves. Some people even had a flash of hostility in their eyes.

"Your Majesty is wise and powerful. We are willing to do our utmost to loyally assist Your Majesty." All the ministers present said in unison.

He showed a satisfied smile and looked down at all the ministers present, but there was a strong sense of oppression in his eyes.

Some of the ministers present slowly shifted their gazes elsewhere, while others confronted him calmly.

"And all of you present here are people I value, so I specially invite you to come here to share a dinner tonight."

As he spoke, many palace maids came with trays of dishes. When all the dishes were served, he gave an order and white smoke rose from the scene.

Under the blessing of the smoke, many outstanding dancers took their positions one after another, followed by the musicians standing on both sides.

As the soul-stirring sounds of flutes and pianos gradually rose, the white mist gradually dissipated, and dozens of graceful figures also danced to the music.

Their graceful dancing postures were like butterflies flying in the air. This beautiful scene made everyone present immersed in this moment.

Suddenly, countless red petals appeared out of thin air, emitting bursts of refreshing fragrance. The dancers' dancing postures became even more graceful.

Just when everyone's eyes were on the dancer, a bright and beautiful figure appeared out of nowhere, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

When a pair of jade feet stepped in the air, beautiful flowers suddenly appeared. Her dancing posture was ethereal and fairy-like, yet light and graceful. As her bare hands danced,

The beautiful flowers turned into countless petals and fell to the ground. People were intoxicated by this beautiful dance.

But they were puzzled as to why the lead dancer had not taken off her mask. They thought so in their hearts but no one dared to speak.

His Majesty's eyes never left her, but he was more curious about what Gu Qingtang looked like under the mask.

The eldest princess Song Shulan smiled and nodded slightly, showing her satisfaction, until the music ended and the dance came to an end.

When Gu Qingtang left the stage, she did not take off her mask. Everyone was discussing her but they were also curious about her face under the mask.

Her actions stunned the emperor, and Song Shulan didn't know what she meant.

Just as she was about to leave, the emperor called her, "Stop! Take off your mask and let me see it!"

But she didn't seem to hear his words and turned to walk out the door. Everyone was talking about it.

This woman is so bold that she dares to disobey the order of the current emperor.

Many people also found it funny that he couldn't even command a dancer.

So he had no choice but to move from the dragon throne to Gu Qingtang and try to take off her mask, but she dodged it easily.

This aroused his desire to win, and he smiled slightly and stopped thinking about the mask.

Instead, he held her sideways, with a hint of a smile in his eyes.

Seeing him so anxious, the regent was a little worried. After all, he suspected that this person might have ulterior motives.

The beauty in his arms struggled to get down but was held back by his brutal force. "Your Majesty, this person..."

But he interrupted the regent before he finished speaking, saying, "My dear ministers, please excuse me for a moment."

Then, he carried her away in front of everyone, leaving the ministers and the eldest princess at a loss.

Then the eldest princess declared that the banquet would continue, thinking that he was already too overworked, so she let him go.

"Eldest sister, the selection of concubines..."

She sighed softly and sent people to inform those beauties to cancel the selection, and gave them sufficient compensation and dismissed them or sent them back to their corresponding places.
