The group's favorite, the blind princess is both a doctor and a poisoner

The dance was beautiful and alluring, but Xiao Heng, who was in a higher position, remained unmoved. There was not a single ripple on his handsome and profound face, as if he was a saint who was beyond the earth and looked down on everything.

Only when he looked at the woman below him who was also wearing a royal blue dress, did his distant and indifferent eyes reveal a rare tenderness.

Noticing the pair of eyes in the crowd below who were staring at Su Yuejian, Xiao Heng narrowed his cold eyes slightly.

Xie Jiusi seemed to sense something, and their eyes met, and in a flash, there was a sense of tit-for-tat.

Xiao Heng didn't know what he was thinking about. His dark eyes darkened and a terrifying murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

Crown Prince Xiao Chengnian noticed that the temperature around him seemed to be a little lower. He looked around and finally his eyes fell on Xiao Heng, who was standing aside with a distant look.

He frowned in confusion. Wasn't he here to appreciate the dance? The dance was beautiful, so why was the emperor's uncle angry?

As soon as the dance was over, the crowd cheered and praised endlessly.

"It really is a dance that captivates the whole city. The Luoshen Dance truly lives up to its reputation!"

"Yes! Wonderful! Beautiful!"

The eyes of the men present were all wide open, and some of them were even drooling.

The response from the crowd was enthusiastic, and Liang Xinrou enjoyed everyone's admiring gazes. She had spent a lot of effort to find this Luoshen Dance from outside the palace, and had practiced hard for many months, just to be able to shine at this Qianqiu Banquet.

More importantly, to attract Xiao Heng's favor.

Now it seems that the effect is quite good.

Liang Xinrou was filled with vanity and pride, and looked up with confidence. Seeing that Xiao Heng still had that cold and ruthless expression, her eyes darkened.

Then she calmed herself down, stepped forward, and said in a gentle voice,

"Rou'er congratulates the Queen Mother on her good health. May you be blessed with blessings as vast as the East Sea and as long-lived as the evergreen pines of the Southern Mountains."

The Queen Mother narrowed her eyes in a smile and nodded with satisfaction, "Good, good, good, you dance very well, you have put your heart into it."

The emperor praised, "Princess Roujia has always been ingenious. It's truly rare that she has mastered such a unique dance to celebrate her birthday! Very good, very good. Come, I will give you a jade ruyi!"

The palace maid brought the reward, Liang Xinrou took the jade ruyi, bowed and smiled,

"Rou'er thanks His Majesty. To please the Empress Dowager is Rou'er's greatest reward."

The Queen Mother was so amused by her that she couldn't stop laughing. "You kid!"

As he spoke, he raised his hand to beckon her forward, took her hand affectionately, and turned to the emperor and said, "Today is my birthday, and I do have a wish that I would like the emperor to grant."

The emperor laughed and said, "Your Majesty, your words are truly humiliating to me. Since this is your wish, how could I refuse?"

The Queen Mother smiled and nodded, then took Liang Xinrou's hand and said, "Rou'er was raised by me. She has the best temperament and character. Now she is old enough to find a relative. It's not okay to keep her by my side like this."

Listening to the Queen Mother's words, the Emperor nodded with a smile on his face, "That's right, Mother."

Everyone in the hall was speculating differently.

Rumor has it that Princess Roujia was the princess chosen by the Queen Mother for Xiao Heng early on.

Could it be that the Queen Mother is looking for a husband for Princess Roujia now that Su Yuejian has been arranged to marry Xiao Heng, leaving her with nowhere to go?

Princess Roujia grew up in the palace since she was a child, and everyone knew that the Queen Mother loved her very much.

Her father and brother died saving the emperor, and the emperor was very fond of her. Although she had no maternal family support, she had the support of the empress dowager. With her beauty and talent, if she could really be married...

After hearing what the Queen Mother said, many young men in the banquet hall became interested.

He Ming stared at the delicate white figure above with burning eyes.

Liang Xinrou's eyes flashed with panic, and her voice trembled unconsciously, "Empress Dowager..."

The Queen Mother gave her a soothing look and then said with a smile, "Among my children, only Heng'er has not yet had an heir. I am old and just want to enjoy a few more years of family happiness."

Hearing the Queen Mother suddenly mention Xiao Heng, everyone looked up. Su Yuejian suddenly had a bad premonition in her heart. Sure enough, the next second she heard the Queen Mother say,

"Rou'er has a gentle temperament, outstanding character, beauty and talent. I want to give her to Heng'er as his principal wife."

When these words were spoken, everyone in the hall was shocked.

The emperor's smile froze for a moment, he was stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses and smiled.

"I'm afraid your Majesty Queen is mistaken. I just arranged a marriage between Brother Heng and the daughter of Su Shangqing a few days ago. He already has a wife."

"If Mother wants..."

"I'm right, she's the principal wife," the Queen Mother repeated. "Heng'er has no one in the backyard, so giving Rou'er to him as his concubine would be a double blessing, the best of both worlds."

The emperor was suddenly speechless. He didn't expect that the empress dowager would have such an astonishing idea.

She knew Xiao Heng's temper, so why...

Su Lin and Lu Zhenting, who were sitting at the bottom, had ashen faces, while Lu Zhan and Lu Lang's faces were already dark.

Fair wife?

His Yue'er hasn't even entered the house yet, but he's already getting a concubine!

This clearly tells everyone that the Queen Mother does not like Su Yuejian as her daughter-in-law!

They actually made such a request to insult their Xiaoyueer!

Hearing the Queen Mother's words, Shen Wenshu's eyes flashed with surprise. She turned to look at Su Yuejian beside her, only to see that she had her eyes lowered and her expression was calm, with no emotion to be seen. Shen Wenshu's brows moved slightly.

Liang Xinrou's heart was pounding. She didn't expect that the thing she had been looking forward to for so long would come true today!

When she heard that the Queen Mother wanted to arrange a marriage for her, she was thinking about how to refuse, but she didn't expect that she was going to be given to Xiao Heng!

Liang Xinrou's joy was beyond words, and her face turned red with shyness.

The Queen Mother looked straight at the Emperor, "What does the Emperor think?"

The emperor had just promised the queen mother that he would grant whatever she wished, but he didn't expect it was about Xiao Heng's marriage, and for a moment he didn't know how to start.

"I..."

"Nothing." Xiao Heng said lightly, his eyes full of coldness.

The Queen Mother seemed to have known that he would say this. "Heng'er, you are not in good health now. If you don't get married soon and postpone it, do you really want me to not even be able to see my grandson..."

Xiao Heng scoffed, and the Queen Mother continued, "Don't misunderstand me. I know you and Minghua are destined to be together. Minghua is a beautiful and virtuous woman, and a good child. I am very satisfied with her. However, she has always been frail, and I feel sorry for her."

The Queen Mother spoke earnestly, "Now, let Rou'er marry into the palace with her as a concubine. This will not only fulfill your marriage, but also fulfil my wish."

Upon hearing this, everyone in the hall looked solemn and dared not say a word.

The news of Xiao Heng's 699 carts of betrothal gifts had already spread everywhere, and the fact that Bai Hu was on the gift list as the betrothal gift shocked the capital city even more.

Now the Queen Mother's words have somewhat made the Regent feel like he is contradicting himself.

However, everyone has heard that Princess Minghua is in poor health, and it is even more common knowledge that the Regent has been poisoned. It is not surprising that the Queen Mother is worried.

She is just a concubine...which may be a bit unfair to Princess Minghua, but it can also be seen that the Queen Mother really loves and values Princess Roujia.
