881 Dance, dig a pit for Yaohua to dance

The New Year's Eve banquet is a place for the emperor to build relationships with his ministers, to demonstrate the prosperity and peace, and to show the emperor's wisdom and intelligence. But after the Ninth Uncle and the Crown Prince made such a fuss, is there still any meaning to this New Year's Eve banquet?

But no matter whether it has any meaning or not, the New Year's Eve dinner must go on. Delicious dishes are served one by one, but everyone finds them tasteless.

Just as Feng Qingchen had thought, the Ninth Prince had no interest in the New Year's Eve banquet in the palace. As for the others, except for the Crown Prince, Prince Qing and Dongling Zichun, no one seemed to be in the mood to eat.

Prince Yong and Prince Zhou were uneasy because Prince Luo was imprisoned and the Crown Prince was arrogant, while the Queen could not calm down because Dongling Ziluo did not show up. The entire New Year's Eve banquet seemed to be in brilliance on the surface, but in fact, everyone was absent-minded. Even the most attractive singing and dancing in the palace was not appreciated by everyone.

There has never been a New Year's Eve banquet as deserted as this year. The emperor was very angry.

Wicked son! Wicked son!

The emperor cursed the prince in his heart. The little bit of good impression he had for the prince just disappeared because of this action. The emperor now regretted that he did not depose the prince during the morning court today.

Sensing the emperor's anger, the prince raised his eyebrows, stood up with the wine glass in hand and said: "Your son, with this wine, respectfully wishes my father a long life and that the people of Dongling will enjoy eternal prosperity." After saying this, he drank it all in one gulp.

Everyone likes to hear nice words. Although the emperor was dissatisfied with the prince, he still raised his glass and touched his lips: "Okay."

This action told all the ministers that the emperor was dissatisfied with the prince. If he was satisfied with the prince, he would drink it all in one gulp. If it were in the past, the prince would definitely be trembling with fear, wondering what he had done wrong and how he had made his father hate him. But at this moment, he seemed as if he didn't see it. Anyway, no matter what he did, his father would not take him seriously.

The prince put down the wine glass and said, "Father, I have ordered someone to compose a dance piece called "The Prosperity of Dongling" for you. I am sure you will appreciate it."

After getting the emperor's consent, the prince clapped his hands, music started, and the dancers came out one after another.

This dance was prepared by the prince a long time ago. Although he now disdains to please the emperor, he has already prepared it, so how can he waste it? Of course, he has to make full use of it and perform it for others to see.

After the dance, although it was not the best, it had a good meaning. The emperor was very pleased and applauded loudly.

Upon seeing this, Nanling Jinxing quickly stood up and said that the noble lady of the Su family wanted to dance for the emperor and asked the emperor for his permission.

Noble ladies never dance in front of others. Su Rou dancing in public was definitely to save the emperor's face. How could the emperor not be happy? He waved his hand and said, "Approved."

The New Year's Eve banquet finally went in a normal direction, and the emperor's depression was half relieved. As for the other half, he had to wait for Fu Lin to come back and report on the Wang family's progress.

Su Rou stood up, bowed to the emperor, and went downstairs to make preparations. She gave Princess Yaohua a meaningful smile as she left. Princess Yaohua felt a chill and had an ominous premonition in her heart, but she could only force herself to remain calm and not dare to show any abnormality for fear of attracting attention.

As a princess, Yaohua has fallen into such a situation, but she still doesn't know it...

After Su Rou finished her dance, she knelt softly in front of the emperor. Her charming posture made the man embrace her in his arms regardless of everything.

"Your Majesty..." Su Rou called softly, her voice gentle and lingering, revealing intoxicating affection.

"Miss Su Rou, please stand up." The emperor said gently, and the lines on his face softened a little. In contrast, the queen's face was ashen.

It turns out that Su Rou's target is the emperor. No wonder she is willing to listen to Nanling Jinxing. What would happen if Nanling Jinfan knew that the chess piece he picked from the Su family had defected to Nanling Jinxing?

This New Year's Eve banquet was finally a bit interesting. The Ninth Prince shook his wine glass, but had no intention of drinking. Instead, he watched how things would develop.

Su Rou's target was the emperor, so of course she was extremely submissive to him. Su Rou stood up delicately, and only then she realized that her whole body was warm with sweat. Her dance costume clung to her body, revealing her exquisite curves, but this scene was only visible to the emperor.

Su Rou had her back to everyone and she put on another piece of clothing, successfully hiding her delicate body.

She was indeed very smart. As expected of a girl from the Su family who made her fortune from women, Su Rou completely guessed the emperor's thoughts and, while seducing the emperor, she also maintained her own reputation.

How can the emperor's woman expose her body to others? The emperor's possessiveness is the strongest in the world. The emperor would like women to curry his favor, but he would never want to see his woman exposing her back and legs in public.

Su Rou panted slightly, and her perfect breasts rose and fell with her gasps. Of course, only the emperor and the empress could see this scene. No matter what the empress felt towards the emperor, no woman would be happy to see someone seducing her husband in public.

The Queen had a gloomy face, but Su Rou looked as if she knew nothing. She bowed to the Emperor and tried her best to please him.

"Your Majesty, the dance that Rou'er just danced is a bronze drum dance that is not passed on to the public by the Nanling royal family. Only the Princess of Nanling can learn it. Because of the Queen's love, Rou'er was fortunate enough to learn this dance. I would like to borrow your help to offer you this dance. May Dongling and Nanling be forever united in friendship."

That’s right, Su Rou was dancing on a huge bronze drum just now. As she danced, the sound of drums echoed, creating a double feast for the visual and auditory senses.

The dance is beautiful, the people are beautiful, and the thoughtfulness is even more beautiful. Not only the emperor is satisfied, but also the civil and military ministers. This is a signal of weakness from Nanling to Dongling.

"Okay, okay, okay, Rou'er is thoughtful." The emperor's face was flushed, and there was more depth in his eyes when he looked at Su Rou.

The emperor has always known that Nanling wanted to form an alliance with Dongling. Before, Su Wan was arrogant and took a fancy to the Ninth Prince, but was rejected by the Ninth Prince on the spot. Although she wanted to enter the palace afterwards, how could he accept a woman that the Ninth Prince did not want?

Su Rou was different. She put all her energy on the emperor, trying her best to win his favor and even danced in public. This greatly satisfied the emperor's vanity. It was only a matter of time before Su Rou took over all the concubines in the harem.

Su Rou lowered her head shyly. She knew that she had succeeded and that she would soon be able to jump out of the Su family's fire pit. Although she was jumping into another fire pit, for Su Rou, there was no place in the world more terrifying than the Su family.

Su Rou took a breath, suppressed the joy in her heart, raised her head slightly, and revealed her snow-white neck skin: "Your Majesty, on behalf of Nanling, I will present the Nanling Royal Dance to Your Majesty. I heard that the Xiling Royal Family has a sleeve sword dance, and only the most noble princess of Xiling can learn it. I wonder when I will be lucky enough to see the princess of Xiling dance for Dongling."

Su Rou particularly emphasized the word "most honorable". All four countries knew that Princess Yaohua was the most honorable princess of Xiling's generation. Su Rou was trying to force Xiling Yaohua to dance in public.

Princess Yaohua finally understood what her ominous premonition was...
