Chapter 427: Strong outside and infatuated inside male protagonist x beautiful and cruel reborn female protagonist 21
The sound of a piano began to play, and a woman in a red transparent gauze dance skirt walked slowly into the hall.
The woman was wearing a red veil, her eyes were charming and affectionate, looking at the emperor with a faint light.
With just one look, the emperor sat up straight.
The Queen Mother looked at the woman in confusion and asked the nanny beside her, "Mammy, why does this dancer look so familiar?"
The nanny was also surprised. "Your Majesty, I also feel that you look very familiar, but I just can't remember where I have seen you before."
Lian Yu twisted her waist, and every move she made was quite charming.
A breeze blew by, and the veil on Lian Yu's face fell off.
The sound of the teacup falling to the ground brought the people who were watching the show back to their senses.
The emperor stood up excitedly and shouted, "Yu'er, are you back?"
Aunt Qiao held Xie Anhuai's hand tightly and whispered, "Ahuai, are you okay?"
Xie Anhuai was not at all excited to see a face similar to his mother's. He was just filled with anger. He was angry that someone was using his mother as a raft and taking advantage of her.
"Qiao'er, I have no problem with that, but I want to see who has the courage to do that."
Looking at Lian Yu, who was not revealing any flaws, Qiao Jinjin had her own thoughts in her mind. If this dancer was in disguise, then her disguise technique was truly extraordinary.
But ordinary people simply don't have such excellent disguise skills. Only the witches of the Wuling tribe have superb disguise skills.
"Ah Huai, do you think this could be a witch? After all, who else can do such an excellent disguise except a witch?"
Xie Anhuai suddenly realized that this dancer was recommended by Princess Wencheng, who was King Cheng's lover.
Then it can be said that the king and the witch have reached some kind of cooperation.
The emperor staggered to Lianyu's front, and when Lianyu stopped dancing, he immediately hugged her tightly in his arms.
"Yu'er, you are finally back, don't leave me again"
Lian Yu raised her hands and hugged the emperor back, her voice full of coquettishness, "Your Majesty, I will not go anywhere. I will stay in the palace to accompany you."
"Hahaha, good, good," the emperor laughed happily.
"Pass on my order, seal..."
The emperor did not finish his sentence and asked Lian Yu, "What is your name?"
Lian Yu bowed slightly and said, "My name is Lian Yu."
The emperor nodded and said, "Pass on my decree, confer Lianyu the title of Imperial Consort Yu and grant her the residence in Linglong Palace."
"I won't allow it," the Queen Mother said in a tone full of anger, pointing at Lian Yu and saying, "You are just a little dancer, and you dream of becoming our Tianqi's concubine. Your Majesty, you are confused."
"This..." The emperor hesitated because of the Queen Mother's words.
When Princess Wencheng saw the Queen Mother trying to stop her, she immediately stood up and said, "Grandmother, if my father likes it, please follow his wishes."
The Queen Mother was so angry at Princess Wencheng that her chest heaved up and down. She shouted angrily, "Go to the Buddhist temple and kneel down. Come out when I say something."
Princess Wencheng widened her eyes and said, "Grandmother, what did Wencheng do wrong? You want to punish Wencheng?"
The empress dowager was too lazy to say anything. She just waved her hand and asked the servants to pull Wencheng away.
Qiao Jinjin curled her lips and said, "Ah Huai, Princess Wencheng is not very smart."
Xie Anhuai sneered. He just wanted to see what his father would decide. However, this Lian Yu must not be kept. A person who had evil intentions and pretended to be his mother did not deserve to live.
The emperor was still shaken by the empress dowager's words. Indeed, if a dancer was appointed as a concubine, the civil and military officials in the court would gossip about it behind his back or even submit memorials to the emperor.
"Then confer the title of Lian Yu as Lian Jieyu"
The Queen Mother then said nothing more. She was just a small concubine and there were plenty of opportunities to deal with her.
Lian Yu's position was thus determined, and the emperor went to Linglong Palace that night.
For three consecutive days, the emperor summoned Concubine Lian to sleep with him every day, and the women in the palace became decorations.
Xie Chengyu is now at his most proud moment, because due to Concubine Lian's pillow talk, the emperor has rarely spoken to Xie Chengyu in the past few days.
"Your Highness, there is a letter from Concubine Lian."
Xie Chengyu took the letter from Liao Muchen, read it, and then burned it.
"Liao Mu, the Qiyuan Festival is in two days, get ready to act"
The Qiyuan Festival was the best time for Xie Chengyu to take action. Everyone in the palace, from the emperor and the empress dowager to the noble ladies and noblemen, would go to Shoucheng Temple to pray for blessings.
It’s just that the time for praying is different, so the emperor, the empress dowager and those dignitaries naturally have to pray at different times.
But Xie Chengyu still underestimated Xie Anhuai and Qiao Jinjin.
They had long been on guard against Xie Chengyu and Concubine Lian, so how could they take risks? Moreover, Aunt Qiao had just been diagnosed with pregnancy, so it was even more impossible for Xie Anhuai to take Aunt Qiao to a crowded place.
These days, Xie Anhuai has been investigating this Concubine Lian. According to his investigation, he found that this Concubine Lian was indeed a witch in disguise.
Xie Anhuai met the emperor after the morning court session.
"Huai'er, do you have something to ask me?"
Xie Anhuai bowed and said, "Father, please do not favor Concubine Lian anymore."
The emperor frowned, but he didn't get angry. He just asked calmly, "Oh? Why?"
Xie Anhuai pursed his lips and told what he knew, "Father, Concubine Lian is a witch from the Wuling tribe in disguise. She must have other purposes. Please be careful."
The emperor shuddered, slammed the table and said, "Do you have any evidence?"
Xie Anhuai delivered the letter he received from the Wuling tribe investigation to the emperor.
The emperor was furious after reading it. "Very good, very good, he is really my good son."
The emperor was not actually unaware of anything. Concubine Lian mentioned Prince Cheng twice in the past two days, both times praising him. The emperor felt something was wrong at the time.
Even Concubine Lian proposed to make friends with Princess Zhao, but was politely declined by the emperor.
"My son, I know what to do about this matter. You go back and wait for my news. Your princess is pregnant. You should spend more time with her."
Either way, the emperor is a cruel person, as if all his tenderness has been given to the late Empress Wende.
In the following days, the emperor no longer favored Concubine Lian, but he would reward her with delicacies from the mountains and the sea every day.
The emperor couldn't deal with the witch all at once, as she was cunning. In order to prevent her from escaping, the emperor could only deal with her slowly.
On the day of Qiyuan Festival, the people arranged by Xie Chengyu waited for a whole day but did not see anyone from Prince Zhao's Mansion, which made Xie Chengyu very angry.
"Go and find out for me why no one came from Prince Zhao's mansion."
Before the people arranged by Xie Chengyu could find out the news about Prince Zhao's Mansion, a message came from the palace.
Something happened to Concubine Lian.
Xie Chengyu naturally didn't believe it when he heard it. Concubine Lian was so favored and had the emperor's protection, what could possibly happen to her?
Xie Chengyu could see the embarrassment on the visitor's face. "Tell me, what happened?"
