"Bring two more basins of ice to fan them."

"Bring up the lychees I requested."

…

Liu Zhao glanced at the fruits and ice cubes in front of Shi Wei, then glanced at his own empty table. His expression became tense, and he softly advised, "My dear, you already have six bowls of ice in front of you, and eating too many lychees will cause you to get a sore throat. You should eat less."

"The emperor is reluctant to part with these ice and fruits?" Shi Wei asked in a pretended angry tone.

"Of course not! I'm just worried about my beloved concubine's health. I hope she doesn't catch a cold!" Liu Zhao's back was wet with sweat and he was feeling very hot.

This woman had taken away all his ice cream on the pretext that he was not afraid of the heat. Liu Zhao hated her so much, but he could only endure it and wait to advance and retreat with Chen Lulu.

"Since the Emperor cares so much about me, please have someone bring up two more plates of ice! This weather is killing me!"

Who among those present was as comfortable and cool as she was? His beloved Lulu was still basking in the sun down below!

Liu Zhao thought indignantly, and ordered someone to go down and bring the ice.

Now there were more concubines watching Shi Wei from the audience. His Majesty didn't even need the ice himself, giving it all to the Imperial Concubine. She was the only one who felt the most comfortable in the whole audience.

Little did they know that Shi Wei had snatched the emperor's ice away, which made the emperor very hot.

When Zuo Xuanxiang was demonstrating her skills, there were suddenly a few exclamations from the audience.

The beauties in the audience gathered together. It turned out that when Zuo Xuanxiang was about to go on stage to perform, someone stepped on the hem of her skirt and injured her hand. She could no longer perform the dance she was supposed to perform.

Shi Wei's lips curled up slightly, she had finally waited for something.

Shi Wei stood up and walked downstairs.

The one who was worried about getting hurt was Chen Lulu, and Liu Zhao followed her towards the concubines.

Shi Wei asked knowingly, "What happened?"

The concubines made way for her, revealing Zuo Xuanxiang who was silently wiping away her tears.

I thought I couldn't perform this time and would be eliminated. When I saw Shi Wei coming down to check, Zuo Xuanxiang immediately knelt down and said, "Your Highness, I was about to go up to perform, but someone stepped on my foot and I fell and was injured."

Shi Wei straightened her posture and asked, "Who stepped on it?"

"It's Chen Xiunv!"

After being pointed out by the concubine, Shi Weifeng turned her eyes and shot a sharp look at Chen Lulu.

"It was you who harmed Zuo Xiunu?"

"No, no, I didn't mean it!" Chen Lulu was startled by Shi Wei's eyes.

"How dare you! You are just a little showgirl, yet you dare to call me the Imperial Concubine? Do you want to stop using your head?"

Liu Zhao was relieved to see that Chen Lulu wasn't injured. But when he saw that she was being embarrassed, he hurriedly said to Shi Wei, "She definitely didn't do it on purpose. Let's just forget it. Don't embarrass her."

Haha! Man!

Shi Wei sneered inwardly, but pretended to be concerned as she helped Zuo Xuanxiang up and said, "She's fine now just by saying she didn't mean it. But Zuo Xiunu is in trouble. She won't be chosen this time, so she can only return home in disgrace."

"What do you want to do, my beloved concubine?" Liu Zhao gritted his teeth and looked nervously at Chen Lulu, whose eyes were blurred with tears. "Ms. Chen certainly didn't do it on purpose!"

Zuo Xuanxiang also looked at Chen Lulu, whose eyes were blurred with tears, and remembered that she had been talking to her for the past three days and would not harm her.

"Someone come!" Shi Wei said, "Give the scent sachet to Miss Zuo."

What??

Are we going to keep her before she even performs?

The concubines were all shocked, especially Chen Lulu, who almost screamed and jumped out to stop it.

She risked a huge risk and stepped on that bitch Zuo Xuanxiang and made her fall to the ground. Why on earth could that bitch still be selected?
