Chapter 31: Flirting and Little Actions

The Queen smiled and said, "That's what I said too!"

All the concubines agreed with a smile.

Concubine Lian no longer cared to find fault with Xu Lanshan. She glanced at the emperor with affection and smiled: "I thank the emperor for his concern. What kind of opera does the emperor like to listen to? Why don't you order a few as well?"

The Queen smiled upon hearing this and said, "That's right. Your Majesty, please order two good plays so that we, your concubines, can also enjoy the show."

The concubines all tried to curry favor with him.

Emperor Yuan Yong did not want to give face to Concubine Lian. When he saw this woman, he was filled with disgust.

No matter what, Xu Changzai was still his woman, a member of the harem. Who was she to force Xu Changzai to dance for her birthday just because it was her birthday? Who gave her the guts?

Lan'er hasn't jumped over him yet.

Emperor Yuan Yong glanced at the Empress and smiled, saying, "I will not order anything today. It is up to the Empress to order."

He actually ignored what Concubine Lian said.

The Queen was naturally pleased to see this, and she smiled and said, "In that case, I will respectfully obey your command!"

So he took the opera script and selected two plays that he liked, and asked Concubine Lian and others to select their own plays as well.

Concubine Lian gritted her teeth and almost lost her temper again, but she didn't dare and held it in.

Soon, performances and singing began on the stage. There were few entertainment activities in the palace, and singing was a great way to pass the time. Everyone loved to listen and watch, and everyone who watched listened with gusto, and from time to time they whispered a few words to the people around them.

Xu Lanshan also found it quite interesting, but for Xu Lanshan, who had seen countless more and better entertainment activities in modern times, it was not that attractive.

She casually tasted the fruit and snack plates on the table. The fried pine nuts were particularly delicious. She couldn't stop eating them. This made it even more delicious.

Emperor Yuan Yong was still drenched in the excitement of that stunning dance, eager to embrace her and give her a good, intimate hug, and to interrogate her, asking her why she hadn't shown off her abilities earlier in front of him, otherwise Concubine Lian wouldn't have gotten such a great deal. His eyes would occasionally fall on her.

Xu Lanshan didn't notice it at first, but he looked over so many times that he would definitely encounter it once, twice, or three times, right?

When their eyes met, he raised his chin slightly and smiled at her. Xu Lanshan also blinked and responded to him with a charming look. Her eyes were so affectionate!

Secretly exchanging glances in public is so exciting that it makes people feel sweet and secretly happy. The feeling is indescribable, but it makes people happy.

It also seemed that the relationship between the two of them was closer than that of others.

Of course Xu Lanshan likes this feeling.

Everyone else was listening to and watching the show, and the two people's small movements were quite covert, so no one else noticed.

But Concubine Lian noticed it.

Concubine Lian's thoughts were completely focused on the emperor, and she paid attention to him all the time. As long as the emperor was around, there was no room for anything else in her eyes.

Although it was her mistake today and she was almost upset to death for giving Xu Lanshan the opportunity to take the lead, but the emperor came to her birthday party after all, didn't he?

The emperor has given her enough face!

Tonight, I will definitely go to her Yuming Palace.

She became more and more excited, and looked at the emperor with affection, unwilling to take her eyes off him.

After a few interactions, I finally noticed the little things going on between the emperor and Xu Lanshan.

Lian Fei's mind was buzzing and exploding, and she was so shocked that she felt a little stupid...

Feelings of jealousy, sadness, and resentment flooded in!

That bitch Xu Lanshan, how dare she!

This is her birthday party, and that bitch actually dared to seduce the emperor in front of her at her birthday party.

Vixen, shameless.

No wonder the emperor has been doting on her recently. Who knows what dirty tricks he might be using behind her back?

The other concubines had all been chosen to enter the palace through selection. If they weren't noble ladies, they had to be ladies from wealthy families. Who wouldn't be well-educated and well-mannered? When it comes to vile and shameless tricks, who can compare to that bitch!

Your Majesty, Your Majesty is so foolish!

Concubine Lian gritted her teeth secretly. After today, she would definitely report this matter to the Queen. If the Queen did not punish that bitch, she would report it to the Queen Mother and let the Queen Mother make the decision.

The emperor is a wise ruler and cannot be seduced by such a shameless witch.

Although Concubine Lian was furious and resentful, she could do nothing at the moment.

This is her birthday party, she can't ruin her own birthday party, right?

But all the good mood and expectations are gone!

Every moment sitting here turned into torture, and the lively conversation on the stage made me particularly restless and irritable.

After finally waiting until the banquet was over and everyone was leaving together, Concubine Lian's anger had reached its peak, like volcanic magma about to break through the last layer of earth, and she could no longer hold it in.

She glanced around and saw a bunch of thorny roses in full bloom in front of her.

Her heart moved, and the idea of ​​pushing Xu Lanshan into the rose bush and stabbing her hard a few times, even if it were to cut her hands and face, became stronger and stronger, and she couldn't suppress it no matter how hard she tried.

Lian Fei took Chun Qi and walked forward quickly. When she saw Xu Lanshan passing by the rose bush, she took advantage of the crowd and pretended to push her hard.

Unexpectedly, Xu Lanshan had been on guard against her for a long time. She became alert when she saw her coming. How could she succeed so easily?

Xu Lanshan retreated quickly.

Normally, the matter should have ended here. The emperor and the empress were still there. No one had any evidence to prove that Concubine Lian had done something "accidentally" and she did it on purpose.

But if she did it on purpose again, it would be too obvious and unacceptable.

Unexpectedly, although Xu Lanshan retreated, Concubine Lian's push affected the innocent Concubine Bai.

Lady Bai screamed and fell forward.

Everyone was shocked!

Xu Lanshan was also startled, but she subconsciously reached out to grab Bai Guiren, but the two of them fell to the ground nearby. Bai Guiren fell on Xu Lanshan, and the blow made Xu Lanshan's eyes go black and cold sweat broke out.

So why did her hands react faster than her brain, and why did she save Lady Bai? In this palace, isn't it better to be prudent and protect yourself?

What a good person you are!

Look, this is retribution, right?

It hurts so much...

"My lady!" Yu Chan hurriedly helped the pale-faced Xu Lanshan up.

Before Xu Lanshan cried out in pain, Concubine Bai started crying out in pain, holding her stomach.

Both Emperor Yuan Yong and the Empress were alarmed.

Queen: "What happened?"

Emperor Yuan Yong said sternly, "Quickly call the imperial physician!"

Concubine Bai's features were distorted and her face was pale with pain. She clutched her lower abdomen in extreme pain. It was impossible for her to be faking it. Emperor Yuan Yong couldn't ignore her, so he followed her into a nearby palace.
