He laughed heartily, as if he had a very good relationship with Emperor Ling, and said:
"I knew Your Majesty would criticize me today for this matter, so I was prepared. But Your Majesty, you also know that these five girls have been orphaned since childhood. Unlike other young ladies, they don't enjoy poetry and songs. They love to wield swords and spears the most. If their performance is not good, please calm your anger!"
"Hahahaha... How could that be? I'm so happy to see Lord Murong's beloved daughter perform in person! I wonder which of Lord Murong's daughters will perform for us?"
Qian Yeying said at the end "perform a show for everyone" instead of "perform a show for me", which is absolutely naked derogatory and ironic.
Murong Xiao sneered in his heart. No wonder although Nanyue ranked first in wealth among all countries, it ranked fifth in military strength, almost becoming the last. This is indeed closely related to the emperor himself.
Qian Yeying is the emperor, but he doesn't use all his strength to suppress the ministers who obviously have ulterior motives. Instead, he only knows how to play power games or just ridicule them in a harmless way. It's useless!
In this regard, Murong Qingyu is indeed much better than Qian Yeying.
"Your humble daughter Murong Shan will perform a sword dance for the Emperor."
"Okay!" Qian Yeying didn't care who was performing today. As long as he could insult the Murong family, he would be happy.
"Father!" Qian Ye Manqiao spoke and called her father in time.
"What else does Manqiao want?"
"Your Majesty, you can't ask the daughters of the Murong Mansion to perform for everyone one by one, right? The eldest daughter of the Murong Mansion is much more beautiful than the other daughters. If you want to see a performance, I think it would be more enjoyable to let the eldest daughter of the Murong Mansion perform for everyone."
At this time, Murong Shan had already stood up. To her, she was a killer kept by the Marshal's Mansion, so she didn't feel insulted at all.
But Princess Manqiao's words made her cheeks blush. She had come out to perform, but the princess didn't let her perform because she wasn't as beautiful as Murong Xiao. Wasn't this deliberately humiliating her?
Murong Xiao's eyes flashed with coldness. Although she didn't care about the women other than Murong Yan at all, it didn't mean that she would happily accept other people's provocation.
"Manqiao is right, Lord Murong, could you please let Murong Xiao perform for us?"
Murong Qingyu's eyes moved slightly. Feeling his son's almost cannibalistic gaze, he sighed in his heart: It's true that gold shines wherever it goes.
Although he had already prepared to marry Murong Xiao to Qian Yeming when he brought her here today, if Qian Yeming could change his mind a little and take a fancy to the other girls, he would definitely be happy to see it happen.
However, it seems that Princess Manqiao, who had lost the title of the most beautiful woman in South Vietnam to Murong Xiao, was quite dissatisfied with her. Even though Murong Xiao was sitting there and had not yet shined, someone took the initiative to provoke her.
Murong Qingyu looked at Murong Xiao and said apologetically, "Xiao'er... Xiao'er isn't feeling well today. How about I ask Yan'er to perform a show for Your Majesty?"
"Dad!" Murong Xiao stood up and interrupted Murong Qingyu, saying, "Since the emperor wants to see Xiao'er perform, how can Xiao'er refuse even if she's not feeling well?"
Although performing in public is very detrimental to her status, if she cannot take the opportunity to become the focus of attention,
