The evil woman is arrogant and the cold emperor can't sleep at night
Chapter 42 Everyone wants to step on her!
Shen Tangan had to admit that although she didn't like Shen Qingwan, her dancing was indeed beautiful and made people immersed in it, which showed that she had put a lot of effort in it behind the scenes.
When the dance was over, there was applause one after another, and even the dissatisfied queen smiled a little.
"Miss Shen's dance is beautiful. I am very satisfied with it. Please reward me."
The queen smiled and raised her hand, and immediately a palace maid brought the reward over.
Shen Qingwan accepted the ruby and pomegranate hairpin with great joy and bowed to express her gratitude.
"Thank you, Queen, for the reward."
The Empress Dowager rewarded her with a pomegranate hairpin which symbolizes many children and good fortune. Was she very satisfied with her and wanted her to bring more heirs to the royal family?
"No need to be polite."
The Queen finally looked at her seriously. Although she was a concubine's daughter, she had a scholarly air. If Jun'er really liked her, he could reluctantly take her as a concubine.
He really shouldn't be so greedy and want to marry her as his principal wife. But just a hairpin made her so happy. He really has never seen the world and is not worthy of being a principal wife.
On the other hand, Shen Tangan sat there calmly, her demeanor was different from other women, and she was many times stronger than that concubine's daughter.
It's just this temper that I can't praise, but after marrying into the royal family, she has her mother-in-law to discipline her. No matter how sharp her temper is, how can she turn things around under her control?
Shen Qingwan was extremely proud to receive the Queen's praise, and she spoke.
"I have really made a fool of myself today. I am not even one ten-thousandth as good as my sister."
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Shen Tangan, their eyes full of suspicion.
Everyone in Kyoto knows that Shen Tangan knows nothing about music, chess, calligraphy, or painting, let alone poetry or songs. She has a beautiful face that everyone envies, but she is an empty-headed beauty.
"Sister, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want."
Shen Tangan was just savoring her dance moves when she was suddenly stabbed in the back.
I immediately threw away all the words praising her in my mind, and finally came to the conclusion that a dog will always eat shit, so why does she have to be dragged into everything?
"Sister, I know you don't like to show these things on the outside, but today the Queen is here, you have to show off your skills to please the Queen."
Shen Qingwan spoke innocently, and the look she gave her was somewhat timid, as if she was afraid of being reprimanded by her after she told this matter.
When the Queen heard this, the look she gave Shen Tangan changed. Has she been pretending all this time?
"Your Majesty, I am not good at anything. I don't know where your words come from."
Shen Tangan sneered, it turned out that he came here for her today.
Not only can he get the limelight, but he can also step on her foot, which is really killing two birds with one stone.
Everyone in Kyoto knew that she was good for nothing. According to what Shen Qingwan meant, if she showed it, she would be deceiving the queen.
If I admit that I am useless and inferior to her, I will become a laughing stock in the entire Kyoto city tomorrow.
No matter which one she chose, she was in a dilemma. Shen Qingwan really gave her a difficult problem.
"Sister, what are you hiding from the Queen?"
Shen Qingwan saw her embarrassment, suppressed her thoughts, and tried her best to appear confused.
Whether she does it or not today, she will offend the Queen. It depends on her choice.
Should he sacrifice his own face, or slap the queen in public.
Others say that she is very scheming, but today she wants everyone to think that Shen Tangan is the most scheming one.
The prince already hated her, and if she was charged with deceiving the queen, the engagement would be completely ruined.
"You really don't know anything?"
The queen looked at her calmly, and it was obvious that she believed Shen Qingwan's words.
"It's not the first day that the Queen has known me. Why do you have to ask this?"
Shen Tangan sighed silently and subconsciously said what was in his mind. When the queen reacted, her face had turned dark.
But what she said was not wrong. She had been in and out of the palace since she was a child, and the queen had long known what kind of fool she was. Yet she was led by Shen Qingwan's few words.
As expected, those in power are all very suspicious!
"Mother, don't you know what she can do?"
Mingyue sneered and glanced at her with disdain.
"Shen Tangan, you lost to this princess this time."
Alas, no!
Just because she is set up as a vicious female supporting character, anyone can step on her?
She took a deep breath, thought for a moment, and realized that she actually had something she could come up with.
"His Royal Highness Prince Chen has arrived!"
Just as she was about to speak, the eunuch's voice came from a distance. The people around her immediately stood up to greet her, and even the queen frowned.
This is a spring banquet, and it is inappropriate for Prince Chen to appear here. Besides, he punished Jun'er in public today, which already made her unhappy.
"Greetings to His Royal Highness Prince Chen."
Mu Chenye walked up to the platform slowly with an upright posture and nodded slightly.
"I've met the emperor's sister-in-law."
"Your Majesty is in a good mood today. Why did you think of attending the Spring Banquet?"
The queen had a dignified look on her face and asked with a smile.
The Prince of Chen holds military power, and even His Majesty has to respect him. How dare she, as the Queen, embarrass him in public?
"I haven't been back to Beijing for a long time. I have long forgotten the customs and people of Kyoto. I want to take a look when I have nothing to do."
Mu Chenye's voice was cold, and it seemed that he acted like this towards everyone.
However, this short sentence made the queen speechless. Her eyes darkened a little, but she still had a smile on her face.
"Prince Chen has arrived at the right time. Please give him a seat."
She waved her hand and looked at the palace servant beside her, and immediately someone brought a table and chairs and placed them in front of the prince.
"Uncle Emperor."
The prince diligently served tea himself. Thinking of the punishment he received today, he hoped that his uncle would forgive him because he was so sensible.
Little did he know that when the Queen saw his actions, her eyes became even more gloomy.
As the crown prince, why should he be so servile to Prince Chen? What's more, Prince Chen is only a few years older than him and holds great power at such a young age.
Looking at her Jun'er again, he was clearly the crown prince, but he had no real power at all, which really made her unhappy.
If the Prince of Chen had any evil intentions, no one in the Central Jin Dynasty could stop him.
I really don't understand why Your Majesty trusts Prince Chen so much and dares to summon him to the capital. He should guard the border for the rest of his life!
Better to die there!
Everyone's attention at the banquet was attracted to Prince Chen. The girls admired him, the boys worshipped him, and even Shen Qingwan had an infatuated look in her eyes.
Only Shen Tangan is so clear-headed and like a master.
Her gaze shifted from Prince Chen to the Queen, and she understood the fear and hatred in her eyes.
"I wonder what the emperor's sister-in-law meant by what she said just now?"
Mu Chenye raised his hand to stop the prince, motioning him to sit back, then looked up at the queen and asked slowly.
"Uncle, you haven't been in Beijing for a long time, so you may not know that the daughter of Yong'an Marquis's family is a vase that knows nothing. The second daughter of the Marquis's family is very talented. She just danced so beautifully that she modestly said that the daughter's dancing skills are even better than hers."
Mingyue briefly explained it to him.
Mu Chenye raised his eyebrows when he heard that, then turned to look at Shen Tangan with a slight movement of his eyes.
"is it?"
