"Princess Hu Di, is this your first time visiting Tianqi?"
On the high seat, the emperor pretended to chat and brought the topic to Chu Yan.
Chu Yan stood up and saluted. "Yes, my father said that I am not young anymore and should get married. But I have always longed for the Tianqi Kingdom, so I don't want to marry a Hu Di man."
She smiled and glanced at everyone present, finally fixing her gaze on the emperor and continued, "This subject hopes to find a destined person to spend her life with. She hopes to live in Tianqi Capital for a long time."
The meaning of this statement is self-evident.
Lu Qingyuan subconsciously looked at Shen Mingyue, worry in her eyes.
Shen Mingyue's face remained calm, and every frown and smile of hers was noble and elegant without being artificial.
"I see."
The emperor responded and said, "There's no need to rush. Marriage is a lifelong matter and cannot be compromised. You must find someone who is not only pleasing to the eye but also pleasing to the heart."
Chu Yan nodded: "Your Majesty is right, I will follow your instructions."
"Hmm." Chu He cleared his throat and winked at Chu Yan.
Chu Yan sat there obediently, pretending not to see anything, still secretly planning something in his mind.
Seeing this, Chu He stood up and said, "Your Majesty, my sister has just learned a new dance. I heard that the Royal Concubine is an excellent dancer. I hope the Royal Concubine will watch her and give her some pointers."
[My Imperial Concubine is a skilled dancer? Haha, she's more like a martial artist!]
[The dancing performance was fake, the real purpose was to seduce the emperor, right?]
[This scene also appears in the original plot. However, in the original plot, Shen Mingyue had just died and the emperor was still in deep grief. Even though the empress dowager strongly requested it, he did not take Chu Yan into the harem.]
[Alas, the Imperial Concubine is still alive, Godfather the Emperor, you...]
Su Qiqi frowned and looked at the emperor carefully.
The emperor casually scooped up the peeled and seeded grape flesh with a spoon and fed it to Su Qiqi's mouth.
"Try it."
Su Qiqi opened her mouth obediently and ate until her cheeks were bulging.
【Ahaha, how embarrassing! 】
【When you receive favors, you should be grateful. When you receive favors, you should be grateful.】
[Although our relationship isn't particularly close, you can try to get closer to me by offering something!]
"Tyrant Godfather, you gifted me with gold, silver, and jewelry, and fed me grapes. You're such a kind person! So you must obey my orders and never let Chu Yan become your concubine!"
[She's going to become the Empress, and she's going to save countless Hudi people! You're married too, so you need to be devoted to her, understand?]
Su Qiqi ate the grapes with her mouth full of "Aba Aba", with a satisfied smile on her face.
The emperor said happily, "Mingyue, look at how cocky Qiqi is. She really looks a bit like you!"
Shen Mingyue was slightly stunned.
She really didn't understand why the emperor, as the ruler of a country, would say such words on such an occasion. He even directly ignored Prince Hudi and Princess Hudi.
At least we should maintain the harmonious relationship on the surface, right? !
"Your Majesty," Shen Mingyue reminded gently, "Princess Hu Di has carefully prepared a dance."
"Oh, then jump."
The emperor seemed to realize it later.
He waved his hand and said, "Anyone who wants to dance, sing, play the piano, or play the flute... feel free to come along. It's just the perfect way to add some fun and excitement."
After saying that, he scooped up another piece of grape pulp and fed it to Su Qiqi's mouth.
Chu Yan walked into the hall, singing and dancing.
Her dance has a unique national flavor, which makes her look more bright and noble.
Her movements were sometimes like an eagle spreading its wings and soaring high, sometimes like a solitary swan on an icy lake, and sometimes like a small snake clinging to a vine...
Those bright eyes stared straight at the Emperor above Gaodi. She turned several times, changed her posture several times, and changed her position several times, but her gaze never moved even a little.
Many people in the hall were watching in a daze, but the emperor was feeding Su Qiqi with a spoon very seriously.
"This osmanthus cake is just the right amount of sweet, soft and fragrant. Would you like to try some?"
"Have a spoonful of meat and egg custard. I specially asked the imperial kitchen to add this dish."
"Come, wipe your hands. They're so greasy, don't smear them on my clothes again."
Perhaps to hide his embarrassment, the emperor always spoke to Su Qiqi.
Su Qiqi tilted her head, her eyes fixed on Chu Yan in the hall: [Hehehe, I have to say, this dance is really beautiful, really shocking!]
[Our ancestors’ folk dance is amazing! ]
emperor:"……"
"I apologize for my humble performance."
After Chu Yan finished dancing, she stood there, waiting for the emperor to speak.
The emperor looked at Shen Mingyue and said, "Qiqi was crying out for food just now, but I was busy feeding her."
Chu Yan remained calm, gritted his teeth secretly, and clenched his sleeves tightly with his fingers.
Chu He said, "Chu Yan, the emperor didn't see it, please dance again."
"No need. I know nothing about these things, nor am I interested. Why should Princess Hu Di bother with them?"
The emperor looked tired.
He picked up Su Qiqi and said to Zhao Xu, "Come, hold her over to the imperial concubine. This little fellow may not be very old, but he's not light either. My hands are sore from holding her."
[How can a mouth with a 35-degree angle say such hurtful words! ]
"Tyrant Godfather, I'm still a baby! How dare you attack me like this? This is so devastating to my young heart!"
Su Qiqi glared at the emperor angrily.
The emperor lowered his head in embarrassment and couldn't help laughing.
The little guy is so chubby and sweet, he just can't hold him enough.
He was just afraid that Shen Mingyue would be embarrassed and that someone would want Shen Mingyue to go out and dance, so he specifically asked Shen Mingyue to hold Su Qiqi.
