"Your Majesty was originally hosting a banquet for ministers and their families from various prefectures. She went to perform her talents for everyone, which was just lowering her status for nothing."
"Even though she is a concubine, performing for us is not considered lowering her status."
Several ladies were discussing in low voices during the dinner.
Pei Shutong's expression changed slightly.
In the high seats, Xuan Yanyu and Yan Yuning did not speak, for fear of displeasing them, and the ladies also stopped whispering.
After all, His Majesty and Queen Xuan hadn't said anything, so they naturally didn't need to say anything more.
"Your Majesty." Pei Shutong called out again in a tender voice.
The wife of the Minister of Revenue glanced at Pei Shutong with contempt and murmured softly, "I don't know. I thought it had something to do with His Majesty when he called me so softly."
"Shut up! How can you say such things?" The Minister of Revenue turned pale with fright.
The wife of the Minister of Revenue covered her lips with a handkerchief and broke out in a cold sweat. She was used to being carefree in her mansion, and for a moment she forgot that this was the palace.
Xuan Yanyu squinted his eyes lazily, showing no intention of paying attention to Pei Shutong.
After standing for a while, Pei Shutong, feeling embarrassed, bit her lip and whispered softly, "Your Majesty, can you agree?"
"bother……"
As soon as Xuan Yanyu uttered a word, Yan Yuning curled her lips and smiled, "I agree."
Everyone looked at Yan Yu Ning. Interrupting His Majesty and making decisions for Him, this... this...
"Yes." Pei Shutong pushed aside her outer shirt with her slender fingertips, revealing an orange strapless dress, white collarbones, a shy face, and the graceful white flesh below her collarbones. The hairpin in her hair swayed slightly. She walked slowly to the center of the hall and bowed lightly.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince is sleepy. Take him to the bedroom." Yan Yuning looked at Ye Chen.
"Yes, Empress Xuan."
The little guy who was eating happily looked up in confusion. Before he could say that he was not sleepy, Ye Chen covered his eyes and carried him out of the bedroom.
The prince's face changed drastically. The prince was carried away. What talent would Pei Shutong perform? ?
Pei Shutong's talent was to use dance steps to mix medicine into the prince's water.
The prince left the table, disrupting all his plans.
The other ministers and their families were also stunned. This... this was too unbecoming. She was even worse than the dancer just now.
Pei Shutong was not as angry as the prince. Her original intention was to dedicate this dance to His Majesty. With a beautiful smile on her face, she began to spin on tiptoe with small steps, raising her arms and slightly raising her waist. The shoulder straps slid slightly to her shoulders, appearing faintly.
She seemed to be caught up in the dance, not realizing that the prince gritted his teeth in hatred.
It was so shameful. He was completely disgraced.
It's fine if you wear this kind of clothes in private, but how can you... can you...
Yan Yu Ning saw Pei Shutong's belly bulge slightly, patted the man beside her, and whispered, "Is Pei Shutong pregnant? If she is pregnant, why would the prince use her to plot against Xiaoxiao?"
Before the banquet began, a guard reported to Xuan Yanyu about the prince's actions today.
Xuan Yanyu lowered his head and stroked Yan Yuning's fingertips. He lifted his eyelids, glanced down, and frowned fiercely, "Get out."
Pei Shutong was startled, her body swayed, and she fell to the ground. The maid hurriedly took her taken-off coat and put it on her, then helped her back to her seat.
Xuan Yanyu glanced at the military ministers below him, and said in a solemn tone, "The prince disregarded the palace rules and brought his concubine to the palace banquet, and indulged his concubine in such a disrespectful and undignified dance. How should he be punished?"
The Minister of Revenue and the Minister of Justice exchanged glances and stood up together, saying, "Your Majesty, I think the prince failed to supervise his concubine properly and allowed her to dance in an unrefined way. He deserves a slap in the face."
