My best friend is wearing a double body! Marry the emperor! Help me win the throne

Lianxin heard the noise and followed Xue Qingyao's gaze into the bushes.

"Snake... there's a snake..."

The sun had already set, and a snake as thick as a wrist was coiled in the grass.

The snake stared at them with its green vertical pupils and hissed with its tongue.

The moment Xue Qingyao's eyes met the snake's, her scalp went numb and she got goose bumps all over her body.

What she feared most since she was a child was snakes. Her legs would go weak whenever she saw a snake.

Lianxin was so frightened that she took several steps back.

The snake was startled by the master and servant, and immediately jumped out from the grass, opening its mouth to reveal its cold and sharp fangs, looking extremely ferocious.

Seeing that the snake was about to bite her, Xue Qingyao's pupils constricted and she closed her eyes tightly in fear.

However, the expected pain did not come.

When she opened her eyes, she saw Chu Xinyue easily grabbing the snake's tail, swinging it in the air a few times, and then smashing it directly towards the rockery next to it.

Bang!

The snake's head was smashed on the spot.

Xue Qingyao watched this scene in shock and swallowed hard, "The princess is so powerful!"

Chu Xinyue looked at her admiring face and felt a little proud in her heart, "Don't be afraid, Yaoyao, this snake is not poisonous."

Xue Qingyao frowned when she saw her casually throw the snake's body into the grass.

Chu Xinyue is as rude as ever!

Chu Xinyue didn't know that Xue Qingyao disliked her in her heart, and thought that she was frightened by the snake. She reached out to pull her up, "Yaoyao, the ground is cold, don't sit there."

Xue Qingyao stared at her hand that had just killed a snake, and before her brain could think, she pushed her away, "Don't touch me!"

She used a lot of force, and her long nails scratched a bloody wound on the back of Chu Xinyue's hand.

Chu Xinyue felt pain and couldn't help but frown and gasp, "Hiss!"

Xue Qingyao came back to her senses, realized her own gaffe, and quickly made amends, "Princess, I was frightened by the snake and mistook your hand for a snake. You won't blame me, will you?"

Anyway, she has thick skin, so what's the big deal if she gets a little scratched?

Chu Xinyue looked at the scratch on her arm and recalled Xue Qingyao's reaction just now. She always felt that something was wrong.

However, before she could think about it, Xue Qingyao had already been helped up from the ground by Lian Xin. "It's getting late. I should go back. Princess, you should go back soon too. The Queen Mother will be worried if she can't see you."

Chu Xinyue met Xue Qingyao's gentle eyes and thought that she might be overthinking it.

Her mistress is beautiful and kind-hearted, how could she dislike her?

Thinking about it, she nodded to Xue Qingyao, "Okay, then I'll go back. If someone bullies you in the future, don't endure it, just tell me directly."

"Okay, I'll thank you first."

Xue Qingyao bowed to Chu Xinyue and watched her leave.

Only after Chu Xinyue's figure completely disappeared into the night did Xue Qingyao take out a handkerchief and wipe her hands vigorously.

Even though Chu Xinyue hadn't touched her just now, she still wiped her hands carefully several times, then threw the handkerchief to Lianxin, "It's so dirty!"

?

Xuanyun Hall.

When Yin Xuan'er learned that Murong Che was going to pick her card tonight, she took a bath and changed her clothes early to welcome the emperor.

She waited for more than half an hour before Murong Che finally arrived.

He walked past the huge group of palace maids kneeling in front of the hall and walked straight into the bedroom.

Yin Xuan'er quickly stood up and followed the man's back into the threshold.

The incense burner in the hall was lit with ylang-ylang incense, and light smoke rose up, and the fragrance lingered in every corner of the bedroom.

Yin Xuan'er looked at the man's handsome face that could turn everyone upside down, her cheeks flushed, and she walked forward shyly, "Your Majesty, I will serve you..."

However, before she touched the corner of Murong Che's clothes, the man had already moved sideways to avoid her hand.

"Your leg injury hasn't healed yet, so take a good rest."

In fact, Murong Che came to Xuanyun Palace on the night Xue Youli was banished to the cold palace.

However, Yin Xuan'er was not allowed to sleep with him on the grounds that she was injured.

Yin Xuan'er only suffered superficial injuries. After falling down the stairs that day, she pretended to be unable to get up, just to make Xue Youli be punished more severely.

Now that Xue Youli has come out of the cold palace, there is no need for her to pretend to be as calm as a chrysanthemum in front of Murong Che.

"Your Majesty, the imperial physician said my leg is fine now."

Murong Che raised his eyebrows, "But I remember the imperial physician saying that your leg needs to rest for a while?"

"That's just the imperial physician making a fuss. There's nothing wrong with my legs. If Your Majesty doesn't believe me, I can dance the Green Waist Dance for you."

"Yeah." Murong Che responded lightly, then sat on the couch next to her, looking like he was waiting to see her performance.

When Yin Xuan'er was still in the boudoir, the mansion invited the best master from the music academy to teach her to dance. Now she has the opportunity to show off her dancing skills in front of the emperor. How could she miss such a good opportunity?

She walked lightly in front of Murong Che, flicked her long sleeves, and began to dance.

Her figure is like a willow, her dance moves are graceful and agile, and every time her legs land on the ground, they are as light as a dragonfly skimming the water, graceful and charming.

Murong Che held his chin with one hand and watched Yin Xuan'er dance one dance after another without calling for a stop.

Seeing that the man was staring at her dancing, Yin Xuan'er danced even harder.

However, after she danced six dances in a row, she gradually became exhausted and her breathing became more and more rapid.

"emperor……"

She looked up at Murong Che, trying to win the man's affection.

Murong Che knew what she wanted to say from the look in her eyes and deliberately stopped her from saying anything else. "Yin Zhaoyi's dancing skills are extraordinary. I really enjoy watching her. Keep going, don't stop."

The main point is that if you like to dance, you can dance as much as you want at once.

When Yin Xuan'er heard the man say that he liked her, she was delighted and danced even harder.

She danced and danced until she was exhausted and out of breath.

Finally, she twisted her foot and fell to the ground in a humiliating manner.

Seeing the man frowning and about to get angry, she hurriedly knelt before him and said, "My foot injury has not healed yet. I have disturbed the emperor's leisure. I beg your forgiveness!"

Murong Che glanced at her and said calmly, "Since your foot injury hasn't healed yet, Yin Zhaoyi should rest for a while, lest she develop any underlying illness and be unable to dance in the future. That would be a shame."

Yin Xuan'er quickly said, "Thank you for your consideration, Your Majesty. I will make sure my foot injury heals as soon as possible."

"It takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone, and there's no rush to do that. I'll have the imperial physician come over tomorrow to take a look."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Murong Che stood up from the couch and said, "I remember that I still have some memorials to review. Yin Zhaoyi, please take a good rest."

How can I ever finish reviewing all the memorials?

The emperor said this simply because he didn't want to stay.

Yin Xuan'er knew Murong Che was making excuses, but she could only grit her teeth and bow her head, "Your Highness, I respectfully bid you farewell."

Today, the Empress Dowager asked her to assist Concubine Rong in managing the six palaces, so the Emperor gave her a warning to warn her to stop having any unnecessary thoughts.

In order to avoid the power of his foreign relatives, he would never allow the Xue family to produce another queen!
