Liu Yan Yu, who was immersed in her grief, heard this voice that had no warmth, and was immediately stunned. Two tears were still hanging on her cheeks, and looking down again, she found that the wine cup was filled to the brim and spilled all over the table.
Her mind quivered, and a chill went down her spine. She suddenly understood Lian Yue's meaning — —
Right now, it was the time when the Ninth Prince had been demoted. Although the princess of An Guo wanted to help him get along with her, it was something that was always known to everyone. In such an occasion, she felt indignant for the Ninth Prince. If someone with ulterior motives were to listen and report this to the Emperor, the Emperor would think that the Ninth Prince was dissatisfied with him.
Displeased with the emperor, this was a huge crime. He would implicate the nine kings in his punishment.
Thinking of this, Liu Yanyu quickly picked up the spilled wine, and hurriedly toasted Lian Ruyue, saying, ”Yan Yu, thank you for reminding me, but I will not dare to speak carelessly again.”
Lian Ruyue's expression did not change as she calmly said, ”I didn't say anything. Miss Liu, the food is getting cold. Hurry up and eat.”
”Yes, eat.” Liu Yan Yu's heart was still beating fast. If the An Princess knew that she was here feeling sad for the Ninth Prince, she would definitely be angry!
At this time, the originally vigorous and passionate melody stopped. A melodious melody slowly drifted through the air like snow, as if it was the voice of the heavens themselves.
The crowd unconsciously stopped what they were doing and looked towards the arena.
He saw four people in white carrying a jade plate over. The jade plate was only the size of a small table, and it was sparkling and translucent. There were carvings of the five grains on it, symbolizing that the five grains were abundant.
And what was amazing was that there was a single person standing on one foot on this jade plate. She wore a purple cloudy dress, and her dress was soft and green. She used her wide sleeves to cover her face, and floated in front of everyone like a fairy.
Who is this? Everyone was curious.
When she slowly moved her hand away from her face, her sleeve slowly fell down, and a face finally appeared in front of everyone's eyes – on that face, her phoenix-like eyes were half-hidden with amber, and her red lips were dabbing at a cherry.
So this person was — Consort Xuan.
She smiled slightly in the direction of Cheng Di, her charming eyes brimming with light. Cheng Di's face revealed a satisfied smile.
As everyone knows, when Xuan Fei won Cheng Di with a martial dance, she was given the title of a third rank concubine by a dancer after she was brought back to the capital from Ru Yang.” What followed next was a meteoric rise. In just two short years, he had been promoted all the way until he had become a first rank concubine. It was really enviable to see him advance from a first rank concubine to a first rank concubine. It was a blessing to be able to see her dance among the people present today.
He saw Xuanwu kneel down on the square jade plate and say, ”The noise is mixed, and beads fall onto the jade plate. ”Chenqie has learned a new song about the dance of jade plates. I hope Your Majesty can invite Chenqie to dance and offer sacrifices to the heavens and earth as a blessing for the Empress. May my dynasty last forever, and I wish the people peace and happiness.”
”Jade Plate Dance? This is the first time I've heard of a beloved concubine dancing with haste. Cheng Di had a look of interest on his face as he spoke happily.
”Yes, thank you, your majesty.”
Once finished, he saw Xuan Fei slowly get up, tiptoed, and slowly raise her hand above her head as she circled the jade plate.
This small jade plate became the dancing world of Xuan Fei. Her body was as light as a swallow, and her dancing posture was graceful, causing people to be amazed. Truly —
