Suddenly, Dugu Qianchen smiled and waved to Shen Yi.
Shang Xian sat to the right of Dugu Qianchen, and there was another chair next to her. It was obvious that he wanted Shen Yi to sit next to her, as it was a symbol of status.
But she wasn't angry at all; in fact, she was very happy.
Shang Xian licked her lips and glanced at Shen Yi. [Even as a woman, this domineering CEO is still as good as any woman!]
Shen Yi's eyes met hers. [Is that so?]
His voice was even more seductive, and Shang Xian felt that she still couldn't outsed him.
Dugu Qianchen clearly wants to make Shenyi the enemy of everyone!
This public adoration is what makes those kinds of women jealous.
"A state banquet is like a family dinner; there's no need to be so formal."
Since Dugu Qianchen had spoken, they naturally didn't hold back.
Shang Xian sat there blankly, propping himself up on his elbows and watching the people below dancing and playing the zither.
Life is so boring.
"Brother Emperor, how was Su'er's dance?" The woman asked Dugu Qianchen charmingly after finishing her dance.
"Su'er's dancing is getting better and better," Dugu Qianchen praised without reservation.
"Then who is better, her or your Consort Ning?"
Dugu Qianchen wasn't unaware that she wanted to embarrass Lan Ning, but he pretended not to know: "There's no comparison; Su'er is inferior."
The girl named Su'er pouted, somewhat dissatisfied: "My brother the Emperor is biased. Let us have a competition and we'll see!"
"Oh? Then you should ask Consort Ning if she's willing," Dugu Qianchen cleverly passed the question to Shen Yi.
"If Your Majesty wishes to see, I will do so," Shen Yi said, remaining as aloof as ever.
Shang Xian got goosebumps all over; Shen Yi was really going all out.
Dugu Qianchen looked at the two stunningly beautiful women beside him and fell into deep thought for a moment, but he quickly recovered.
He chuckled, "My dear concubine is truly giving Princess Rongle face."
Shen Yi descended the steps, and Princess Rong Le looked at her curiously: "Doesn't Consort Ning need to change into her dance costume?"
Shen Yi glanced at her, and that look really frightened the little girl.
Shang Xian rubbed his temples speechlessly. [CEO, you scared that young lady!]
[So useless, it's terrifying!]
Shang Xian was both amused and exasperated; Shen Yi was such an adorable little devil...
Her gaze was fixed on Shen Yi, completely unaware that Rong Ling and Yu Hanzhi below were watching him, and even Dugu Lianbai would glance at her from time to time.
They were all puzzled. Why did she keep looking at Lan Ning?
Could it be because they don't want her to embarrass the royal family?
“No need,” Shen Yi said coldly.
Seeing her confidence, Rong Le panicked immediately: "Wait, I know Consort Ning dances very well, but could you please choose a different kind?"
The meaning is clear: she wants to dance a graceful dance, so Consort Ning needs to change to a different style.
Shen Yi nodded.
"Since my beloved consort has agreed, what else is needed?" Dugu Qianchen added an appropriate dose of "pampering."
"I need a sword and someone skilled at playing the zither," Shen Yi said in a deep voice.
"Is Consort Ning going to perform a sword dance?" Dugu Lianbai suddenly became interested.
"What the Prince says is absolutely right."
Dugu Lianbai volunteered and said to Dugu Qianchen, "Brother, I have a sword here, bestowed upon me by Father Emperor."
Dugu Qianchen smiled and shook his head. He couldn't do anything about his younger brother. He really liked these strange things, so the older brother naturally wouldn't be so strict.
A moment later, someone brought over a precious sword, which Dugu Lianbai personally handed to Shen Yi: "Consort Ning, the sword is for you."
