Chapter 149 She tried every possible way to make things develop in the direction she wanted

Xu Jilin didn't know what Cheng Jin was doing, so she could only sit and watch.

"Okay, I really want to see what new tricks Concubine Rong can come up with."

These years are indeed just as Cheng Jin said. Whenever there is a banquet in this palace, it is just some singing and dancing.

It is beautiful, but it is really tiring to watch too much.

Cheng Jin asked someone to bring up the drum, which is indeed refreshing.

Cheng Jin didn't say much. He took the drumstick in his hand and beat it lightly at first, like the sound of soldiers on the parade ground. Then, as the rhythm changed, the drum sound became more and more intense, as if it was really fighting on the battlefield.

The sound of the drum that Cheng Jin beat was loud and powerful, and the rhythm was bright and powerful, which tied the emotions of everyone present to the drumstick.

Cheng Jin suddenly paused for a moment, then picked up the drumstick and hit the drum three times again.

Nine times in total.

This is the sign of victory.

The drumbeats continued.

Chu Chengye suddenly picked up a sword beside him and started fighting beside Cheng Jin.

Chu Chengye's sword was so fast that people couldn't see his movements. The sword moves in his hand were unpredictable, and the sword skills were extremely fast and sharp. The swords were reflected in the sky, and the cold light flashed.

With the drumbeats of Cheng Jin, it was really a good show.

It can be said that it was just a display on New Year's Eve. When the people present saw Chu Chengye's sword skills, they seemed to suddenly remember that the emperor in front of them was not a good character.

This world and the throne were seized by him with the sword in his hand.

When the drums stopped beating, Chu Chengye put away his sword.

The crowd applauded loudly, whether it was because of Chu Chengye or because it was really so wonderful, it was much louder than Qu Wanxin's just now.

Cheng Jin followed the trend and said, "I am stupid. Now it is the end of the year. I just want to wish that the border war will be won soon and the emperor will recover the lost land of Southern Qi as soon as possible."

Qu Wanxin almost gnashed her teeth in her heart.

Compared with what Cheng Jin said, her previous words seemed too petty.

Who doesn't know that Chu Chengye doesn't love anything but wielding swords and guns and leading troops to fight? Didn't Cheng Jin's words hit the nail on the head for Chu Chengye?

Clearly, she had planned today's event to embarrass Cheng Jin, but now she is the one who is embarrassed.

Although competing for Chu Chengye's favor is not what she wants, only by helping Chu Huaian can she take the throne of empress sooner. If

history really changes and Chu Huaian fails to become emperor, then being favored by Chu Chengye and becoming his empress is not bad.

She originally traveled through time and space, and she has weak feelings for everyone, so as long as she can become the empress, in fact, anyone can do it for Qu Wanxin.

Previously, she thought that Chu Huaian must win, so she was partial to him, but now that she thinks about it, Chu Chengye is actually not bad.

No matter what, she just wants to be the irreplaceable empress.

The development of the matter was beyond Xu Jilin's imagination. When the late emperor was in power, many people took advantage of the late emperor's happiness on New Year's Eve to show their favor, but they had never encountered a woman like Cheng Jin who rolled up her sleeves and picked up a drumstick to beat the drum.

How could Xu Jilin look good when the plan failed?

Xu Jilin clenched her hands under the table, but still praised Cheng Jin kindly: "It is indeed wonderful. Concubine Rong's song is indeed wonderful. It is beyond my expectation."

"And the emperor's martial arts is really integrated with Concubine Rong's drumming. It is really wonderful."

"Looking at it this way, Concubine Hui's dance just now was indeed a bit vulgar."

Xu Jilin looked at Qu Wanxin and pretended to comfort her, "But Concubine Hui has been in the palace for a short time, so it is understandable. In the future, Concubine Hui must learn a lot from Concubine Rong how to serve the emperor."

"Yes, I'll remember that."

Qu Wanxin stood up, raised her wine glass towards Chu Chengye, and said, "I'm sorry for my behavior, Your Majesty, please forgive me."

Chu Chengye listened to Qu Wanxin's words, but his eyes were always fixed on Chu Huaian.

Chu Huaian lowered his head, fiddling with the wine glass on the table, as if he didn't care about Qu Wanxin's words at all, but under his sleeves, Chu Huaian was pinching his palms tightly.

Seeing Chu Huaian so lonely, Chu Chengye felt particularly happy in his heart, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"It doesn't matter, as long as some people don't think it's embarrassing."

Chu Chengye's words were meant to point at Chu Huaian.

Not many people present knew about Chu Huaian's relationship with Qu Wanxin.

It's easy to guess who came up with Qu Wanxin's move today.

If Qu Wanxin was speaking from her heart, Chu Huaian would have flipped the table and stood up, and there would be no way he would be so calm and sit here.

It can be seen that Chu Huaian and Xu Jilin knew that Qu Wanxin wanted to compete for his favor, and it was possible that Chu Huaian planned it himself.

Chu Chengye really didn't expect that his royal brother would go to such lengths for the throne, not hesitating to let his beloved woman flirt with other men.

Chu Chengye sneered in his heart, the deep affection that Chu Huaian had said at the time now seemed ridiculous.

Chu Chengye held Cheng Jin's hand in his hand. What kind of ability is it if he sacrificed others to get everything he wanted.

Chu Huaian also wanted to sacrifice a woman.

Ridiculous.

Chu Huaian thought that he was really a good-for-nothing, and that getting the throne was just his luck?

No, it wasn't.

Everything he got was what he deserved, whether it was power, status or anything else.

He got it bit by bit through his own efforts, and it was what he deserved.

Things didn't work out, and Xu Jilin didn't want to delay the dinner any longer. She left early on the pretext of feeling unwell.

Chu Huaian naturally wouldn't stay here any longer, so he left too.

And Qu Wanxin seemed unwilling to leave, and was reluctant to leave until everyone in the hall had left. Qu Wanxin was still sitting there like a sculpture.

Qu Wanxin clenched her fists, and suddenly she raised her hands and slammed everything on the table to the ground.

Why?

Why didn't everything develop as it did in history?

Why did Chu Huaian always lose in this fight with Chu Chengye?

Why did Cheng Jin, who had no record in history, step on her again and again and let her suffer so much humiliation for no reason?

Why was it so difficult to get everything that was supposed to belong to her?

She was obviously the famous Empress Xiaoren in history, Qu Wanxin. She should be the most honorable person, not Cheng Jin.

Qu Wanxin stared at the wine pot that she had overturned.

The wine turned the carpet in the hall into a dark color.

Qu Wanxin secretly said: "Since things are not going as she wants, she will let everything develop according to her own ideas."

"Isn't it partiality, Sheng Chong? If I can't get it, you can't have it either!"
