"His Majesty……"

The ministers who had just been kneeling on the ground and admonishing Emperor Zhao with great sorrow now showed expressions of genuine pain and wanted to plead for mercy.

However, General Helian, who had received a signal from Emperor Zhao, led Xiao Qingfeng and other soldiers forward and covered the mouths of several people:

"The conditions in Southern Xinjiang are difficult. Your Majesty can go there, Concubine Yue can go there, so why can't you go there?"

"I'm not asking you to die. I'm just asking you to open up wasteland and farm. You're all acting like your fathers have died. Isn't that annoying?"

…

Amid the cursing of General Helian and others, the ministers who had just been howling loudly were dragged out of the hall.

Their families were also cleared out by the guards. For a while, no one dared to say anything bad about Liu Ruyue.

"Yue'er, don't be afraid!"

After Emperor Zhao had dealt with these people, he turned around and pulled Liu Ruyue, who was sitting on his left, to comfort her in a gentle voice.

The gentle and doting appearance was totally inconsistent with the previous image of Emperor Zhao as a ruthless and brutal person.

When the ministers saw this, they understood even more clearly how much Emperor Zhao favored Concubine Yue.

The concubines who were not far from Emperor Zhao and his companions could see that Emperor Zhao treated Concubine Yue differently. The concubines who did not dare to cause trouble secretly glanced at the Empress and then at Concubine Wan.

These two were the two most powerful masters in the harem before. His Majesty and the Empress treated each other with respect and doted on Concubine Wan.

However, the Empress Dowager, who treated Concubine Yue with respect, wanted to give her seat to Concubine Yue, while the favored Concubine Wan had not received even a glance from Emperor Zhao.

I'm afraid things are going to change in this harem.

The Queen and Concubine Wan were both very upset as they were being secretly watched by everyone.

The Queen, on the other hand, had been pretending to be dignified and virtuous for many years. After she sat down below Liu Ruyue, she kept trying hard to force a smile.

But that smile was a little bitter.

But Concubine Wan's face could be described as pale.

After taking a bath, Concubine Wan dressed up carefully and prepared to steal the show at the palace banquet. She wanted to see the amazement in Emperor Zhao's eyes and win him over on the first night after he returned to Beijing.

Little did she know that although she was dressed up carefully and looked very beautiful and seductive, from the moment Emperor Zhao entered the hall until now, he had not once glanced at her.

More importantly, she felt a strong sense of crisis from Liu Ruyue.

This woman is so beautiful, with a delicate forehead and beautiful eyebrows, and a charming smile. Every frown and smile of hers makes her look like a fairy in a painting.

Concubine Wan originally thought that she was the most beautiful woman in the world, but when she saw Liu Ruyue, she actually felt a little inferior.

Once upon a time, she relied on her beautiful appearance and delicate body to gain the favor of Emperor Zhao. However, now there appeared a woman whose appearance, complexion and figure were better than hers in every way. More importantly, this woman was pregnant. The tenderness and pampering in His Majesty's eyes when he looked at Concubine Yue was something she had never seen before.

Jealousy, inferiority, and anger surged in Concubine Wan's heart.

However, no one cared except her palace maids.

The Queen was also ignored.

All the glory and reverence that once surrounded them now fell on Yue Fei.

In the hall, everyone looked at their honorable emperor and the empress dowager as they nervously cared about the fair and charming little woman.

The woman had clearly only frowned at the beginning, and later when the ministers urged Emperor Zhao to kill the evil concubine, she remained calm. With such a person, how could Emperor Zhao and the Empress Dowager still worry that she would be frightened?

"My dear ministers, we have won a great victory in the battle of Southern Xinjiang. Tonight is a celebration for me, Concubine Yue, General Helian, and the 100,000-man army of Zhao..."

After comforting Liu Ruyue, Emperor Zhao leaned over to Jiaojiao'er's ear and said, "Yue'er, I have prepared a surprise for you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the rumbling sound of drums rang out. Listening to the prelude, it was obviously "The Gallant War Song".

Then she saw General Helian and others standing up. Liu Ruyue was shocked: No way, no way?

With Liu Ruyue's expression of disbelief and everyone in the hall staring in bewilderment,

General Helian led three hundred soldiers to the main hall, and they took off their clothes in a neat formation...

Aaaaaahhhhh!!!

What is this for???

Has His Majesty truly become a tyrant? He's so promiscuous!

They came to attend the palace banquet, not to see shirtless men!

Not only are they shirtless, but there are over 300 of them all shirtless, and they are all muscular men!!!

Aaaaahhh!!

The ministers were all roaring in their hearts, but with the foreshadowing of the dozen or so ministers who had been dragged away and exiled to southern Xinjiang, no one dared to speak.

The ministers' wives wanted to cover their eyes, but when they saw that Concubine Yue, who was sitting next to Emperor Zhao, was not covering her eyes, they did not dare to do so.

Not only did Liu Ruyue not cover her eyes, she also stared at the center of the hall with shining eyes.

Seeing his little cat's eyes sparkling, Emperor Zhao smiled even more dotingly: Last time, he discovered that Jiaojiao seemed to like watching these ministers dance, so he secretly asked General Helian to prepare for a long time before giving Jiaojiao this surprise.

Seeing Jiaojiao'er's satisfied and intoxicated look, Emperor Zhao knew that he had made the right decision!

When the ministers in the hall saw this scene, they couldn't help but wonder in their hearts: Is this really not the daily routine of a tyrant and a seductive concubine?

However, when they heard the "War Song" and saw the soldiers dancing the war dance in unison, the patriotic blood hidden in everyone's body was ignited.

When the song ended, everyone was overwhelmed with emotion, and some even had tears in their eyes...

After the dance ended, Liu Ruyue was still not satisfied...

Emperor Zhao saw Jiaojiao'er's expression of wanting more, and then looked at his mother's excited look, and said to General Helian:

“Again!”

"yes!"

A neat and majestic sound rang out, and the 302 soldiers danced more neatly and powerfully.

Nonsense, didn’t you see that Concubine Yue liked the war dance they performed?

Even Empress Yue is smiling, so shouldn’t they work harder?

The fact that Concubine Yue is so happy must be good for the fetus in her womb. The child she will give birth to will definitely be incredibly smart...

At first, the ministers and female relatives in the hall resisted.

But later on, I started to enjoy it.

After listening to it a few more times, I even started singing along with "The Gallant Battle Song"!

After learning that "The Gallant War Song" was actually written by Concubine Yue, the whole court changed their opinion of Concubine Yue:

Your Majesty is right. Concubine Yue is not some enchanting concubine; she is clearly the auspicious symbol of the Great Zhao State!

**

"Your Majesty, do you mind if I take a look at the bodies of General Helian and the others?"

While snuggling in Emperor Zhao's arms for warmth, Liu Ruyue tilted her little head and asked Emperor Zhao.

Emperor Zhao did not answer, but just shook his head slightly, his eyes full of calm and domineering confidence as if he had the world in his hands.

However, when Jiaojiaoer saw Emperor Zhao like this, she pouted and said aggrievedly, "Your Majesty, aren't you jealous when I look at other men's bodies?"
