Chapter 51 Sword Dance
In the blink of an eye, ten days later, because the Queen's birthday banquet was approaching, Jun Chenmu, who was sent to Taiqing Temple to cultivate his moral character, finally received the emperor's instructions and was able to come back early to celebrate the Queen's birthday.

East Palace.

After hearing the news of Jun Chenmu's return, Shen Sixian immediately went to the palace to visit.

When he came to the East Palace, he saw the dignified and somewhat thin figure. Shen Sixian's eyes showed a touch of distress: "His Highness has suffered a lot these days. Xian'er specially brought the century-old ginseng from home to replenish His Highness's health."

Jun Chenmu looked at Shen Sixian, his thin lips slightly curved, and he pretended to be in love with her.

"Let Xian'er worry about it."

Shen Sixian looked at the emperor in front of him, his eyes sparkling with joy and attachment, and he said a little shyly: "For His Highness, this is what Xian'er should do, regardless of the trouble."

Then, she changed her tone and said angrily:
"Xian'er feels sorry for His Highness. His Highness has lost a lot of weight. It's all her fault because of Shen Chenbi! She has a marriage contract with His Highness anyway, but she actually behaves like this, scheming against His Highness, and even with the King of Chu..."

After hearing this, Jun Chenmu's face darkened.

"Damn it! They are hateful! Shen Chenbi must have been in love with King Chu a long time ago!"

"I can't wait to kill them!"

Shen Sixian raised the corners of her lips proudly and leaned towards Jun Chenmu.

"Your Highness, don't be sad, you still have a string."

Jun Chenmu hugged Shen Sixian and sighed in his heart.

Shen Sixian was very obedient to him, which was naturally good, but his family background was too poor and he couldn't be of any help to him.

It's okay to take her as a side concubine, but it's not cost-effective to take her as a main concubine.

"Your Highness, Xian'er has one more thing to ask for."

"What's the matter?" Jun Chenmu looked at her with raised eyebrows.

"The Queen's birthday will be in a few days. I would like Your Highness to say a few kind words to Si Xian in front of the Queen and let Xian'er organize the banquet." Shen Si Xian looked at Jun Chenmu eagerly.

"Xian'er and His Highness promise that they will host this banquet well and will never let the Queen down."

Jun Chen Mu looked at her unexpectedly, thought for a moment and said, "I will discuss this matter with the Queen. Whether it will happen or not depends on the Queen's wishes."

Jun Chenmu reported this to the queen. The queen pondered for a moment, but suddenly laughed.

"Then leave it to Shen Sixian. It's hard for her to be a concubine and she still wants to try her best to climb up."

Jun Chenmu knew that the queen didn't like Shensi Xian, so he lowered his head, feeling a little uneasy.

"Queen mother, will Xian'er displease my father by saying that?"

"She is a concubine and was raised by a dancer. She cannot afford the position of a head wife. Your father originally wanted to take the opportunity to take back military power and win people's hearts before letting Xu'er marry you. Naturally, he doesn't want you to be interested in such a person. "The queen saw it very clearly.

Jun Chenmu sighed, "My child..."

The queen waved her hands and smiled dignifiedly.

"That's all, let her give it a try. It just so happens that I have a plan that may be able to save the defeat."

"Oh? What does the Queen Mother mean?" Jun Chenmu raised his eyebrows in interest. Thinking of the current situation, he naturally hoped to turn the tide and stabilize his position as the crown prince.

The queen waved to him, "Come here."

After hearing this, Jun Chenmu's eyes lit up and he gave the queen a thumbs up.

"Mother, this plan is very clever, but King Chu..."

"What are you afraid of him doing? You are the future emperor. No matter how powerful he is, he is just a minister. How can he turn the world upside down?" The queen's eyes were full of disdain.

Jun Chen nodded in admiration, "Then do as the queen mother said." Ten days later, at the queen's birthday banquet, Shen Chenbi and Ye Xuanchen entered the palace.

With the sound of "Your Majesty, the Queen has arrived," everyone stood up and saluted.

"Come on, please, today is the Queen's birthday banquet. Just feel free to do whatever you want."

After everyone sat down, Shen Chenbi noticed a line of sight staring at her and couldn't help but feel uncomfortable.

She sat upright and glanced at the queen above her with her peripheral vision, and was slightly startled.

The queen had been staring at her for some time, with a smile on her lips, as if she was planning something.

Their eyes collided. Although the queen knew that Shen Chenbi could not see, she still smiled at Yong Rong, nodded slightly at her, and naturally looked away.

Shen Chenbi frowned slightly. She felt that something was wrong with the way the queen looked at her just now, so she paid a thoughtful attention.

At this time, Shen Sixuan stood up and looked at the Emperor and the Empress, and said gracefully: "Your Majesty, the Empress, today is the Empress's birthday, and I specially favor the second young lady of the Borong Mansion to perform the sword dance to entertain the Emperor and the Empress."

The queen readily agreed: "Si Xian is interested."

Shen Sixian was in the limelight today. He held a birthday banquet for the Queen, and many noble ladies rushed to fawn over her.

Shen Chenbi was thinking about the Queen's intentions. The Queen was not happy with Shen Sixian, and the Emperor's golden words were there, so she disobeyed the Emperor and gave her the birthday banquet. Could it be that she wanted to help Shen Changfeng win the title?
Dream on!He is just the son of a dancing girl and wants to take over her father's glory. Does he deserve it?

At this time, Shi Qingyu immediately stood up, bowed respectfully to the Emperor and Queen, and then drew out the sword from his waist.

Following her movements, melodious and exciting music filled the banquet hall.

Shi Qingyu was the second young lady of the Borong Mansion, but she was not weak. Instead, she had practiced sword dancing since she was a child. This sword dance was as smooth and graceful as a giant, which amazed many people.

Shen Chenbi pretended to be blind, never forgetting his persona, pretending not to see, and needing Ye Xuanchen to feed him everything he wanted to eat.

The two seemed particularly close. In addition to watching Shi Qingyu's sword dance, they were also watching the King of Chu and the future Princess Chu show their affection.

Envious, jealous and hateful glances came from all directions, but Shen Shenbi pretended not to notice them.

Shi Qingyu, who was dancing the sword, always paid attention to Ye Xuanchen from the corner of his eye. Seeing him patiently and gently serving tea and food to Shen Chenbi, jealousy almost corroded her internal organs.

Turning around, accompanied by the beat of music and drums, Shi Qingyu recalled Shen Sixian's words and approached Shen Shenbi step by step.

The sword dance in her hand became more and more powerful, the tip of the sword shimmering with cold light gradually approached the sinking wall, and the light of the sword cast a shadow on her face.

Everyone thought it was part of the sword dance and didn't notice anything was wrong.

And Shen Chenbi was not a fool, so how could he not see that Shi Qingyu was deliberately coming towards her.

Do you think you can scare her with a few sword flowers?
Just a joke!
Shi Qingyu's sword got closer and closer to Shen Chenbi as it got older, almost pointing at the tip of her nose. It was a deliberate intimidation and humiliation.

Shen Sixian said that if she suspected that Shen Shenbi was pretending to be blind, she would let this woman reveal her true colors today.

Everyone exclaimed and started talking in low voices.

"Is the second young lady of the Borong Mansion crazy? She actually dares to provoke the legitimate daughter of the Duke's Mansion!"

"I heard that the second young lady likes the King of Chu. The two girls are competing for one husband. The charm of the King of Chu has not diminished!"

"But isn't Miss Shen blind? King Chu also likes a blind man?"

"What do you know? Miss Shen's eyes became like this just to save King Chu. Can King Chu not protect her in every possible way?"
