Suddenly, a sharp voice reached everyone's ears: "The Emperor and the Empress have arrived..."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone knelt down to welcome the emperor.
Xie Shizhu knelt on the ground and looked up at the emperor and the empress. They were both over fifty years old, and were followed by other concubines.
She silently counted how many concubines the emperor had. It turned out to be quite a lot, at least twenty or so.
In the original plot, the emperor was a lustful man. If he were not old and in poor health, he would probably continue to take concubines.
However, there are not many princes, only five.
The crown prince is the queen's son.
After the empress and the emperor took their seats, they dared to sit down only after the emperor gave the order.
During this time, Xie Shizhu glanced at Song Yan inadvertently and saw that his usually gentle eyes suddenly had a strange look, which quickly disappeared.
If I'm not mistaken, this anomaly is Song Yan's ambition for the position of emperor.
Unfortunately, in the plot, despite Song Yan's superb martial arts and meticulous mind, he still did not sit on the throne of emperor.
It’s just because, later on, the heroine came to her senses and realized that Song Yan was still using her and didn’t love her at all, so she deliberately went along with Song Yan.
Finally, he and the prince worked together to kill Song Yan.
These actually have nothing to do with the original owner's maliciousness. What is related is that after Song Yan died, Xie Xi fell in love with the prince and betrayed Beimo for the prince.
Later, the Northern Desert became a wasteland.
This is the main source of Xie Shizhu's malicious value.
The dishes were served soon, and Xie Shizhu picked up his chopsticks and lowered his head to eat.
The delicacies before him were not available in the palace, including chicken, duck, fish and goose, which was very rich.
Xie Shizhu only cared about eating and didn't care about anything else.
At this moment, no one was paying attention to the food, and almost all of them asked the concubines and daughters around them to dance.
The Crown Princess had finished her dance. The Emperor was very pleased and directly rewarded her with a thousand taels of gold.
This made the others' eyes widen, and they volunteered to dance one after another.
However, only the Crown Princess received the bounty.
At this time, Chao Lan turned her head to look at the woman next to her who was concentrating on eating with her head down. Seeing that Xie Shizhu's lips were covered in oil, disdain and mockery flashed across her face.
Then, she rolled her eyes, stood up, and said to the emperor respectfully, "Your Majesty, the women of Northern Desert have always been good at singing and dancing. Why not let the princess of Northern Desert dance for Your Majesty..."
Xie Shizhu paused while gnawing on the chicken leg and looked a little confused for a moment.
The system couldn't help but say: [Host, this bad woman! You should teach her a lesson!]
As soon as the words fell, everyone's eyes were on Xie Shizhu.
Many people have never seen the most beautiful woman in Beimo, but today they finally saw her.
Her skin is as white as cream and her eyes are beautiful. She is indeed very beautiful.
But it's a pity that he is a mute.
I heard that the Princess of Beimo was forced to marry the sickly Sixth Prince after being rejected by the Crown Prince.
In everyone's eyes, Xie Shizhu is just a pretty girl, not even a normal girl, and she can't speak.
The emperor was silent for a few seconds and then said, "If you dance well, I will definitely reward you."
Xie Shizhu's scalp tingled. She had no choice but to go up and dance. If she dared to refuse the emperor, she would lose her head.
But she can't.
Song Yan took out a handkerchief and wiped the oil from the corner of her mouth. A smile appeared in his eyes, as if he was comforting her.
Xie Shizhu hesitated for a few seconds, then gestured to Song Yan, "I will not embarrass Your Majesty."
After saying this, Xie Shizhu bravely stood up, stepped out from his seat, stood in the open space, and then knelt down to salute the emperor.
Since she can't speak, she can't say compliments like other people.
Song Wenyan looked straight at Xie Shizhu and began to worry about her.
The Crown Princess beside him frowned slightly, and was indeed a little surprised when she saw Xie Shizhu's face.
Fortunately, he is a mute. If he could speak, it would be terrible.
After Chao Lan sat down, her face was full of disdain. After all, she knew that Xie Shizhu was good for nothing except his face.
The emperor raised his chin and signaled Xie Shizhu to start dancing.
Xie Shizhu froze all over, and suddenly regretted the big words he had just said in order to curry favor with the boss.
Under everyone's gaze, Xie Shizhu suddenly made a move that startled everyone present.
She took off her outer clothes and threw them on the ground.
Song Yan was slightly startled, his eyes suddenly becoming gloomy.
Xie Shizhu took off her rather cumbersome outer garment. Her inner garment was pure white and tight fitting, outlining her beautiful figure. Like her usual clothes, her inner garment was also in the style of a skirt.
Amidst everyone's puzzled gazes, she raised her eyes slightly, a faint smile curled her cherry lips, and her originally clear eyes suddenly became charming.
After a moment, Xie Shizhu swung his arms, twisted his waist, and danced the Beimo dance.
A breeze blew by, she stood on tiptoe, slid her body gently, and the hem of her skirt floated because of her movements.
The woman's black hair moved with the rhythm of her dance steps.
She was like a light butterfly, dancing with the wind.
The wind blew her hair on both sides, and her every frown and smile was captivating.
Song Yan noticed that the looks of the people around him changed from disdain to shock, and then to amazement.
Moreover, they were obsessed with Xie Shizhu and could not get out of it.
He frowned slightly, turned his head and looked at Xie Shizhu with burning eyes.
Xie Shizhu's waist is very thin and soft, not even thick enough to be held in one hand.
A different expression appeared on Song Yan's face. After he realized that he was frowning, he quickly relaxed his brows.
He picked up his chopsticks again and lowered his head to eat, in order to hide the strangeness in his heart.
After the dance ended, Xie Shizhu picked up his casual clothes on the ground and put them on quickly.
