Chapter 196 The Phoenix Seal is for you!

The old censor was sulking, puffing his beard and glaring at the Minister of Rites below him with a piercing gaze - I didn't ask you to offer a beauty!!!

Unexpectedly, the Minister of Rites was also confused. He didn’t know!

The Minister of Rites turned around and asked anxiously, "Madam! Did you know that my daughter was performing a dance?"

The Shangshu's wife was smug, "I know, Pingting and I have made careful preparations, don't worry about it!"

"Ma'am, you are confused!"

"I think you're confused. I'm doing both! If the old censor turns out to be unreliable, our daughter will be favored and can even enter the palace as a concubine in the future!"

The Minister of Rites had a secret argument with his wife.

The Shangshu's wife said confidently, "I spent ten thousand taels to find out. The Prince Regent likes to dance, but the princess doesn't! Our daughter's dance is the best in Kyoto!"

"Look at the Yun family. When one person is favored, everyone in the family rises to prominence! Don't you want to be promoted?"

The Minister of Rites was so anxious that he almost fainted.

How can my own daughter compare with the princess?

Helplessly, Guo Pingting had already walked out to perform a dance, waiting for Yuntang's response.

In full view of the public.

Yun Tang looked noble and cold. He looked down at Guo Pingting and nodded gracefully: "Dance."

"Thank you, Princess."

Guo Pingting is a beautiful woman with a classical temperament and is a lady from a noble family.

She stood there with a graceful figure, and after ordering the palace servants to play music, she began to dance!

The rings and jewelry jingle, the dance moves are light and beautiful, and when she spins, the skirt is like a peacock spreading its tail, extremely beautiful and eye-catching!

Just one song, but it leaves a lasting impression.

But no one dared to applaud or praise. Everyone was silent, looking up at the seat above in silence and obscure manner.

"Xiao Jin, does it look good?" Yun Tang asked him with a smile.

The little girl is coming for you.

A pair of shy and timid spring eyes, which makes me feel pity for her. She is waiting for your evaluation!

Xiao Jin raised his thin lips, put them close to Yun Tang's ear, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "This king smells sour~"

"I didn't!" Yun Tang turned his head away proudly.

The smile in Xiao Jin's eyes deepened. He reached under the table and quietly scratched Yun Tang's palm.

It's so itchy~

Stop it!

Yuntang glared at him in annoyance, her almond-shaped eyes sparkling and charming, like a hook that made Xiao Jin's heart itch.

His eyes were dark, and he clutched Yuntang's hand under the table. Then he condescended to look down and commented coldly and majestically, "You are just showing off your skills in front of an expert, but you are no match for the princess's dance on the drum."

Guo Pingting's eyes instantly turned red.

The wife of the Minister of Rites was shocked. What? The princess can dance?

"Father, Mother, what is the dance on the drum?" Little Yueya asked curiously, looking up.

Xiao Yundan was also very curious.

Even Xiao Tianchen, who pretended to be calm, couldn't help but prick up his ears and glance over...

None of them had ever seen Yuntang dance!

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jin smiled seductively: "Dancing on the drum is..."

Just as he opened his mouth, he suddenly stopped.

Yun Tang hid one hand under the table and pinched his thigh hard. Her almond-shaped eyes were moist and she warned him angrily, "Don't say that!"

Once, she and Xiao Jin encountered a folk festival. She drank too much and climbed onto a drum, jumping and dancing in circles... Xiao Jin watched her playful behavior, and when she was tired, he reached out and carried her back to rest.

He was just drunk and looked so embarrassed and ridiculous.

Xiao Jin praised her for being cute and dancing beautifully!

How can this be called beauty in the eyes of a lover? This is the end of love brain! There's no hope!

Yuntang knows her own limitations, and she doesn't want Xiao Jin to compare her dancing with others by getting drunk.

Don’t air your dirty laundry in public!

"Ahem!" Yun Tang looked at Guo Pingting with dignity and elegance, and casually praised her, "Miss Guo, you dance well. What reward would you like?"

Guo Pingting's heart was broken, her eyes were red, and she absentmindedly replied, "Pingting, I will do as the princess commands."

This is too much!

He ignored her again and again, not even pretending that she coveted Xiao Jin.

Do you really think she is kind-hearted?

Won't be angry?

Yun Tang's eyes turned cold, and he curled his lips and said coldly: "Miss Guo dances well, so take her into the palace and make her a female official in the Imperial Music Bureau."

What? ! !

The whole audience was shocked and uproared.

Guo Pingting's face changed drastically, and she fell to her knees in panic, "No...don't...please, Princess, please take back your decision!"

"I know I was wrong, and I beg the princess to revoke your order!"

The Minister of Rites and his wife were also anxious and panicked, and hurried forward to plead for mercy.

The title of "female official of the Jiaofangsi" sounds nice, but in reality, she is a palace maid! She is inferior to others!

Guo Pingting was a lady from a noble official family. Once she entered the palace and became a maid, she would no longer be eligible to get married!

Xiao Jin's voice was cold and cruel: "Didn't you hear the princess's order? Your ears are useless and can be cut off!"

His eyes were sinister, fierce, and terrifyingly cold.

The entire family of the Minister of Rites was frozen!

If you heard it, you should give thanks!

If you don’t hear it, the Regent will cut off your ears!

They regretted their decision deeply, but unfortunately, there is no medicine for regret. In a state of panic, the Minister of Rites quickly asked the old censor for help!

The old censor stroked his beard and said, "Princess, you have overstepped your bounds!"

"Only the Queen Mother and the Empress have the right to appoint female officials in the palace. You are only the regent's consort. How can you interfere in the affairs of the harem?"

The old censor glanced at Yuntang with arrogance and disdain on his face.

Then he stroked his beard and glared at Xiao Jin with piercing eyes: "Regent, you indulge the princess. Where do you put the laws of the country and the rules of the family?!"

"I have something to say!"

The old censor immediately looked at Xiao Tianchen with relief and excitement, his eyes seemed to say: Your Majesty, you should have said it earlier!

He couldn't wait to urge: "Your Majesty, what do you want to say?"

Want military power!

Severely suppress the Regent's arrogance!

However, Xiao Tianchen didn't even acknowledge the old censor's gaze. He pulled something out from behind the dragon throne and covered it with his sleeve as if it were a treasure.

Then he walked down from the dragon throne and stood in front of Yuntang.

In public, he was the emperor, Yuntang stood up and showed respect to Xiao Tianchen.

"aunt."

Xiao Tianchen looked up at her, his expression steady and serious as he said, "The old censor is right. Aunt has no right to interfere in palace affairs."

The old censor stroked his beard happily, that's right!

The Minister of Rites and his family breathed a sigh of relief. So... are they okay?

Yun Tang nodded gently, "Your Majesty is teaching me that I have exceeded my authority."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yundan and Xiao Yueya became unhappy and glared at Xiao Tianchen angrily.

Xiao Jin didn't say anything. His eyes were cold and dark. He tapped the table with his fingers rhythmically, powerfully!

Xiao Tianchen didn't finish his words, and continued with a stern face: "Aunt, you have to kneel down."

!!!

The whole audience was shocked and gasped.

The little emperor has become stubborn and wants to make a move?

Who gave him the courage?

Royalists?

Yuntang looked at Xiao Tianchen with surprise, lifted her gorgeous skirt, and knelt down in worship.

“Ahem!”

Xiao Tianchen straightened his back, his face tense and solemn as he announced, "I am young, and there is no queen or queen mother in my harem."

"The harem has been without a master for a long time. Today, I order the Regent Princess—Yun Tang—to take charge of the harem!"

???

!!!

The whole audience was stunned. Under their amazed gaze, Xiao Tianchen took out the Phoenix Seal as if he was presenting a treasure!

"Aunt, my Phoenix Seal is for you!"
