Chapter 77 Humiliation



Suddenly, the music stopped abruptly, and all the palace maids in pink knelt on the ground, their sleeves slowly spread outwards, and a new and attractive green color stood out from the pink.

The music started again, and the woman in green began to dance, her green sleeves fluttering. Occasionally, her beautiful face, with white skin, bright eyes, white teeth, and a smile in her eyes, appeared vaguely.

Everyone stared at the woman in green, infatuated.

Yue Nanxuan also nodded repeatedly. His sister, who was spoiled by their mother, finally did something to show off. Looking at Prince A Luo, he saw that he was also watching with great interest, and he was even happier at the moment.

Just as Yue Nanxuan was nodding, a touch of green suddenly jumped out from the pink, and a sleeve hit the face of the palace maid who was serving Leng Yichen in the corner.

With a snap, the musicians were so startled that they stopped playing music and the dancers forgot to dance and just stood there stupidly.

Leng Yichen's eyes flashed with a gleam of light, he smiled charmingly, and sat still. The palace maid who was beaten for no reason immediately knelt down in fear, trembling all over.

"Nanhan, what are you doing!" Yue Nanxuan shouted coldly, and before Nanhan could make any excessive moves again, he ordered someone to pull her in front of him.

Nan Han pouted in displeasure, with a hint of anger on her face. She stood blankly in front of Yue Nanxuan, not giving Yue Nanxuan any face at all.

"Nanhan, why are you so ignorant?" Yue Nanchen said coldly.

Nan Han's face darkened, as if she was a little afraid of Yue Nanchen. She lowered her eyelids slightly, but her mouth was still pouting, with a look of impatience.

"Prince A Luo, I'm sorry to make you laugh. We only have this one princess in Nanyue, and I only have this one sister, so I usually spoil her.

Please don't laugh at me!"

Yue Nanxuan's words sounded like an apology, but they pointed out Nanhan's important identity. Prince A Luo immediately responded, smiling faintly, "Your Majesty, don't worry. Princess Nanhan is Nanyue's treasure. When she arrives in Miluo, she will also be Miluo's treasure!"

Nan Han suddenly said, "Bah, who cares!"

Yue Nanxuan was stunned, his eyes suddenly turned sinister, and he shouted coldly: "Nanhan, how can you say such outrageous words?"

Nan Han was stunned, she looked up and secretly glanced at Yue Nanxuan, seeing that he was really angry. She knew that although this third brother usually looked nonchalant and had no airs of an emperor at all, when he got angry, even her mother would be afraid of him.

So she bit her lip and knelt on the ground with a plop, "Your Majesty, Nanhan does not want to marry to Miro Country, Nanhan does not..."

"Stop talking. Someone, take the princess back to the palace to rest!" Yue Nanxuan interrupted her coldly and ordered.

The guards stepped forward immediately. Nan Han wanted to say something but couldn't, so he was dragged away by the guards.

There was silence for a moment. Yue Nanxuan cleared his throat, looking a little embarrassed. He had not expected that Nan Han, who had agreed to it, would cause such a scene. He was thinking about how to smooth things over when he saw Prince A Luo stand up...

Prince A Luo stood up. The bamboo and grass on his blue robe looked elegant and delicate under the candlelight. The faint smile on his lips was like the cold moonlight. His eyebrows and eyes were full of tenderness.

“Your Majesty, there is no need to blame the princess. The princess has an upright character, which is why she stood up in resistance. Because of this, A Luo has seen the princess’ true character, and A Luo admires her.

The princess didn't like A Luo, maybe she didn't know him well enough.

Your country, I quite like your customs and people, why not stay with me for a few more days, and it will also be a good opportunity to get in touch with the princess!"

Prince A Luo behaved in an elegant and noble style. His words not only gave enough face to the Kingdom of Nanyue, but also made the embarrassment just now disappear in an instant. Yue Nanxuan nodded with a smile and said yes repeatedly.

A Luo sat down, picked up the wine glass and socialized with the emperor and the ministers. He spoke and acted very properly, and Nanyue and other ministers were all satisfied.

Lan Shuiyao sat quietly beside Yue Nanchen, acting as a foil without making any noise, but secretly looking for an opportunity to speak to Prince A Luo alone.

Because it was a dinner to welcome Prince A Luo, there was no such formality. In addition, although the current emperor had a large harem, the position of queen was vacant, so many ministers took the opportunity to bring their unmarried daughters or relatives.

I hope if I show a little bit of my face, maybe the emperor will look at me differently.

So when the atmosphere became lively, some ministers volunteered to recommend their daughters to sing or play the piano. For a while, there was a lot of singing and humming, one after another, which was very, uh, boring!

But no one would say festive days are boring, so even though everyone feels bored, they still keep their eyes open to watch and ears ready to listen, which is a pure waste of time.

Lan Shuiyao really couldn't hold on any longer and yawned lazily, but she didn't expect that it was Jiang Yan's goddaughter's turn to come on stage, thus giving Jiang Yan a handle at once.

Because of Yu Lingshan's matter, Jiang Yan and Lan Shuiyao had some conflicts. In addition, his daughter was obviously the principal wife, but she was not as good as a concubine, so Jiang Yan felt even more uncomfortable.

Clothes.

Suddenly he stood up and said loudly, "Your Majesty, it seems that my daughter's skills are inferior to others. I am a laughing stock!" He turned to Lan Shuiyao and said, "I think your wife must have special skills. Since you don't think highly of my daughter's dancing skills, then please ask your wife to perform. It is said that your wife is worth a fortune. Let's open our eyes tonight!"

Jiang Yan didn't want to make things difficult for Lan Shuiyao. After all, she was his junior, and King Yongnan was present. But when he thought of his daughter being alone in the empty room and looked at Lan Mu's smug look, he became so angry that he directed his anger at Lan Shuiyao.

Lan Shuiyao ate the food calmly, as if she didn't hear Jiang Yan's provocation. She just glanced at Yue Nanchen lazily.

Yue Nanchen's face darkened. Jiang Yan's words "one face is worth ten thousand taels" immediately caused an uproar. Although the civil and military officials did not dare to discuss it in a low voice, they all communicated with each other through eye contact and winking, which made Yue Nanchen angry.

Yue Nanxuan was also feeling bored, but he had to give face to the beauties and ministers. The corners of his mouth were stiff from smiling. When he heard what Jiang Yan said, he immediately became interested and said to Yue Nanchen: "Royal brother, since they want to see my sister-in-law, then..."

Yue Nanchen sat there coldly without saying anything, while Lan Shuiyao stood up with a faint smile, "The Prime Minister said that Shuiyao is worth ten thousand taels of silver. I wonder if the Prime Minister will send the silver to Lanshui Tower another day or give it in cash today?"

Jiang Yan was startled. He didn't expect Lan Shuiyao to take the money from him right on the spot. He flicked his sleeves and said loudly, "Asshole, why did I…"

Before he finished speaking, Yue Nanxuan coughed twice. "Prime Minister, you said it, how can you take it back? I think I'll just pay 50,000 taels for one song!

Yue Nanchen’s expression became increasingly ugly.

Yue Nanxuan originally wanted to help Lan Shuiyao, but doing so seemed as if Prince Yongnan's concubine had actually brought her smiles to the palace, which was undoubtedly a slap in the face for Yue Nanchen.

Jiang Yan's expression became even uglier. Fifty thousand taels was a considerable sum...

She didn't want to pay attention to it, but when she saw Jiang Yan's changed expression, Lan Shuiyao stood up with a charming smile, covering the corner of her lips with her fingers, her shoulders trembling slightly, "Fifty thousand taels? It's not enough to have a cup of tea in Lan Shui Tower, at least one hundred thousand taels!"

Jiang Yan's face turned pale. One hundred thousand taels? Just as he was about to get angry, he heard Yue Nanxuan laughing and saying, "Okay, then one hundred thousand taels!"

Yue Nanchen's face was already stinkier than the stones in the toilet. He grabbed Lan Shuiyao's arm and said, "Behave yourself!"

Lan Shuiyao glanced at him lazily, seemingly indifferent, "I have no reason not to take such a good business!" Before Yue Nanchen could get angry, she broke free from Yue Nanchen's grip and walked slowly to Jiang Yan.

Yue Nanxuan excitedly sat cross-legged on the dragon throne and began to cheer loudly.

Seeing that there was something exciting to watch, all the officials followed suit and cheered one after another, but no one noticed that there was a hint of worry in Prince A Luo's brown eyes.

A fury emanated from Yue Nanchen's body. The officials next to him were so frightened that they immediately fell silent. Only some who were far away were still shouting without knowing the consequences.

Yue Nanchen didn't know why Lan Shuiyao agreed to perform. Was she really so short of money? Was she so short of money that she even sold her self-esteem? Everyone could see that Jiang Yan was deliberately making things difficult for her and humiliating her, but she actually...

For a moment, Yue Nanchen couldn't explain his feelings.
