The princess does not have a bridal chamber

Chapter 196

Only then did the crowd disperse, and they were seated in order under the arrangement of several young father-in-laws.

Naturally, the emperor sat at the top, and at the bottom were General Peng and the third prince sitting on the left and right sides, and then Mrs. Peng and the third concubine, and then they were arranged in order according to their official rank.

The entire banquet was packed to the brim, only the seat of Huarongrong next to the Third Prince was vacant.

"Why is the seat of the third concubine vacant?" The emperor looked at Shangguan Chen after everyone sat down firmly, and asked pretendingly puzzled.

"Back to the emperor, the concubine suddenly felt a little unwell, she really couldn't attend the dinner, I am deeply sorry, and I specially asked this king to tell the emperor." Shangguan Chen stood up and said to Shangguanyu, clasping his fists.

"Oh? What's wrong with the emperor's wife? Is the situation serious? Have you seen it by the imperial doctor in the palace?" Shangguanyu immediately looked nervous and asked with concern.

"No need, it's just an old problem, just go back and have a good rest." Shangguan Chen said with a slight smile.

"If that's the case, that's good." The emperor nodded.

Immediately, his eyes swept over the crowd: "Open the table!"

"Your majesty is wise, for generations to come!" Everyone stood up immediately, holding up their wine glasses and saying.

The emperor was overjoyed immediately, stood up and shouted, "All lovers are welcome!" Then he drank all the wine in his glass.

Only then did everyone take their seats, and the banquet officially began.

Next came the performance time of the multi-talented concubines in the harem, with the sound of silk and bamboo music, and recently the most favored concubine Rong danced gracefully in a dance dress made of peacock tail hair, which aroused applause from the crowd.

Shangguanchen had a smile on his face, but he had no interest in enjoying singing, dancing and food. Huarongrong's sadness and despair before leaving were deeply engraved in his mind, and he couldn't get rid of it no matter what.

She should have returned to the palace by now, right?

When I go back, I have to explain it to Rongrong. The beating was really out of helplessness and I had no choice. I hope Rongrong can understand me...

After Concubine Rong finished dancing, Shangguanyu smiled slightly and asked softly, "Is it not hot for Concubine Ai to wear such thick clothes on such a hot night?"

Concubine Rong knelt down on the ground, and raised her head charmingly: "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty, although my concubine is hot, but for the sake of His Majesty's happiness, it is worth it to be hotter."

"Haha, what a coincidence to open my mouth, what comes out is sweeter than honey!" Shangguanyu laughed and said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your compliment." Concubine Rong kowtowed again, with a graceful posture like a peacock that has always been elegant.

"It's just that my concubine doesn't know that I'm allergic to feathers?" The emperor's face darkened suddenly, and he said displeased.

Concubine Rong was originally happily waiting for the emperor's generous reward, but when she heard the emperor's words, her face was shocked: "What? Your majesty, are you allergic to feathers?"

"Your Majesty, forgive me, my concubines don't know that the Emperor is allergic to feathers, I really don't know." Concubine Rong kowtowed and said anxiously.

"Concubine Rong, as the emperor's personal concubine, you don't even know that the emperor is allergic to feathers!" Eunuch Zhao beside the emperor shouted angrily.

"Pull it down." Shangguan Yu waved his hand lightly and said.

All the people present were already stupefied, and they did not dare to vent their anger, for fear of angering the emperor.

The atmosphere became extremely oppressive.

"Your Majesty, forgive me, Your Majesty, the concubine really didn't do it on purpose, I beg the emperor to remember the past love, and don't put the concubine in the cold palace, the concubine still wants to serve the emperor again." Concubine Rong who was still radiant just now At this time, he was already crying badly, and fell to the ground begging sadly, looking indescribably miserable.

All the people present couldn't help but gasped, the truth that accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger, presumably that's it.

"Your Majesty, it's Concubine Ming! Concubine Ming said that the Emperor especially likes peacock feathers, and praised that women wearing peacock feathers are truly like phoenixes. Your Majesty, you have to make decisions for your concubines. It is Concubine Ming who is setting up concubines!" Concubine Rong Suddenly thinking why Concubine Ming made herself wear a feather dance dress, she cried anxiously.

The emperor sneered for a while: "A phoenix is ​​a phoenix. No matter how hard a peacock works, it is impossible to become a phoenix. Does Aifei not even understand such a simple truth?"

After speaking, he looked in Shangguan Chen's direction.

Anyone can see that the emperor is secretly satirizing the third prince by talking about Concubine Rong!

The atmosphere became more tense.

"Like a flower blooming among thorns..." A high-pitched and transparent female voice sounded from above the roof, and the beautiful singing instantly attracted everyone to look up.

The moment they raised their heads, before everyone had time to see who was coming, all the candles in the entire hall were extinguished at the same time. The originally brightly lit hall was instantly dark, and even the outside of the hall was not illuminated by moonlight.

The singing and silk and bamboo sounds did not stop because of the sudden darkness, but became more melodious.

Only then did everyone's eyes gradually adapt to the darkness, and then they realized that the person above their heads was actually glowing!

Against the backdrop of the soft moonlight clothing, the soft waist looks even brighter, more charming than the moonlight!

Eyes fluttering, Hua Rongrong scanned the audience, with a little red lips on her pink face, her expression was shy and indescribably charming.

Everyone was fascinated by Huarongrong, and the music was even more soul-stirring. Huarong's waist was turned softly, and her beautiful face was reflected in the moonlight, flawless.

The dark and shining eyes are like a pool under the moonlight. Wherever they go, both men and women are fascinated by them. The delicate part is like pink peach petals, and the demeanor has the posture of orchid. The black hair and long hair are as smooth as waterfalls. , draped in that moonlight dress is even more like a fairyland, with a faint smile on her plain and elegant face.

Everyone was fascinated by watching, Shangguanyu had seen countless beauties, so she couldn't bear to blink at this moment.

It wasn't until the figure floated to the ground that Shangguanchen came back to his senses, the peerless dancer turned out to be Hua Rongrong!

His eyes instantly became deep, why did she appear in the hall?She didn't go back home?

His eyes fell on Shangguan Yu's body, his infatuated appearance made Shangguan Chen start to worry, won't the emperor be fascinated by Rong Rong?

It wasn't until the end of the dance that the candles in the entire hall suddenly lit up at the same time, and the hall was brightly lit again. Concubine Rong, who was kneeling on the ground, woke up and screamed: "How can you dance better than me!"

The people in the hall felt as if they had passed away, Shangguan Yu looked at Hua Rongrong blankly, and after a long time suddenly shouted: "Reward!"

Peng Yuanyuan came to her senses belatedly, looked at Hua Rongrong in a daze, but didn't dare to speak out anymore.

Peng Yuanyuan, who had always been proud, suddenly felt extremely inferior. She wished she could find a crack in the ground and sneak in. With such an amazing woman, what could I use to compete with her?

"My concubine thanks the emperor." Standing not far from Concubine Rong, Hua Rongrong saluted gracefully, with a smile curled up at the corner of her mouth.

Concubine Rong has already taken off her make-up in tears, and she has become the foil of the most disastrous defeat beside Hua Rongrong. The peacock costume she prepared mentally is even more disgusting to look at. Seeing a feather in Zaore's weather is really not a piece of clothing. comfortable thing.

The Moonlight Clothes, which are far less glamorous, look pleasing to the eye and glamorous.

"Hua Rongrong, whatever reward you want, I can satisfy you!" Shangguan Yulong Yan Dayue said proudly.

"Really?" Hua Rongrong said in surprise, then turned her head to look at Shang Guanchen.

She closed her eyes, took a deep breath and said: "I beg the emperor to dissolve the marriage between the concubine and the third prince, and demote the concubine to a commoner, so that he will have nothing to do with the third prince from now on!"

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked, the third concubine was a position that no one could get, what happened to this beautiful woman, she would ask the emperor to dismiss the status of the third concubine.

"Impossible!" Before the emperor could speak, Shangguan Chen stood up and said angrily.

This time I was really angry. Yesterday I was snuggling in my arms obediently and wanted to swear to myself, but today I changed my face and asked to have nothing to do with me?

At this moment, he really wanted to rush forward, pry open Hua Rongrong's head, and see what this woman was thinking!

"The emperor said to satisfy the concubine's wish. The concubine only made such a simple request. Can the emperor not satisfy it?" A tear rolled down his face, which made people feel distressed. Even General Peng, who hated Hua Rongrong before I can't help but feel soft-hearted, and hope that the world will not embarrass this beautiful woman.

"You are already married to this king, so you will be born to this king and die to be my ghost! Only I can let you go, otherwise no one will let you leave my side!" Shangguan Chen was already angry, hidden in his voice. With a blazing flame.

Hua Rongrong sneered: "Hehe, why? Why can you divorce me, but I can't divorce you? Your third prince may be the man that many women yearn for day and night."

As he spoke, he glanced at Peng Yuanyuan, and snorted coldly, "But I'm not a fan of beauty!"

Saying these words, a tight string in Hua Rongrong's heart seemed to be broken suddenly, her internal organs were scarred, the pain was so painful that she almost wanted to pass out.

Suppressing the discomfort in her heart, Huarong Rong struggled to put on a smile, her eyes did not conceal the deep despair: "The third prince is still so domineering, until now he is still so domineering."

Shaking his head lightly, he turned his eyes to look at the emperor: "The emperor promises everything, can he satisfy Rongrong's simple request?"

Shangguanyu didn't expect that Huarongrong would make such a request, and she was at a loss for what to do. Even if he is the emperor, he doesn't have the right to be the concubine of the emperor's brother, right?

Then he smiled awkwardly, and the emperor said: "Sister-in-law, even if the emperor bullies you, it is not necessary to divorce him. At most, I will help you make the decision, and punish the emperor below."

Jacquard had already broken out in a cold sweat from fright, if he hadn't bitten his lip, he might have already convulsed in fright.

Anxious sweat dripped from his forehead one by one, but he didn't dare to rush forward to stop Hua Rongrong.

"So the emperor is going to break his promise?" Hua Rongrong didn't waver at all, her tone became more firm.

It was as if her heart had been buried deep in the iceberg for ten thousand years and could not be shaken at all. Hua Rongrong was like this, since she had made a decision, she would die without regretting it, even if she still liked Shangguan Chen in her heart, even if she would regret it later, Also willing to suffer on their own.

"How could the emperor break his promise as the Ninth Five-Year Lord? You don't like the Third Prince, but some people like it!" Peng Yuanyuan stood up suddenly and said.

One sentence immediately pushed Shangguanyu to a higher position, preventing him from stepping down.

Even General Peng felt chills down his back, and his clothes were drenched in cold sweat, sticking to his body sticky.

"Bold, what's the matter with you before the Holy Majesty, why don't you sit down!" General Peng hurriedly stood up and reprimanded.

"Father, what my daughter said is the truth. All civil and military officials are here. The emperor clearly said that he wants to fulfill any wish of the princess. Why can't my daughter say it?" Peng Yuanyuan bit her lip and bit her teeth.

No matter what, for the sake of love, the competitor offered to withdraw at this time, how could Peng Yuanyuan let such a strong opponent stay by Shangguanchen's side, so even if she risked her life, she still had to force the emperor to agree to Huarongrong's request .
