Daughter's favorite concubine: Don't come here, the black-bellied prince

Chapter 246 Sword Dance, Sword Dance

After sitting down, Xinmeng still lowered her head, silently accepting the baptism of many eyes.

Among these different gazes, he was the only one who was absent.

"Taste the craftsmanship of the royal chef in the palace." Xiao Qian put a piece of pastry into her bowl.

Xinmeng stared at the crystal cake, but did not respond for a long time.

"Aren't you used to it?" Xiao Qian softened his voice and explained to her, "The custom of the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet in the palace is to use cold food. You can eat some first. If you are not used to eating, when the banquet is over, I will find a cook. I'll make you some hot ones alone."

Xin Meng turned her head and met Xiao Qian's gentle eyebrows, her heart seemed to be grabbed by something, she quickly shook her head and said: "Don't bother the cook, the servants can use these." She paused, He added, "My courtiers are not picky eaters."

Hearing this, Xiao Qian laughed out loud, apparently in a very good mood.

The hearty laughter swayed and reached the ears of the man in the bright yellow dragon robe, making him frown instantly.He waved his hand to make all the dancers in Taichung retreat.

"Shen Xinmeng!" A majestic voice made everyone stop, and successfully attracted someone's attention here.

Xinmeng got up immediately, walked quickly to the emperor and knelt down.

After staring at her for a long time, until she felt that she couldn't kneel anymore, the emperor asked slowly, "Can you dance sword?"

For a short moment, several thoughts flashed in Xinmeng's mind.

Deny it, the emperor has clearly seen her painting with a big brush in his hand, and maybe he already knows that she knows martial arts.Let's admit it, the sword is different from the pen after all, and it will easily reveal the bottom line of my martial arts.

Both Xiao Qian and Xiao Lang knew that she knew martial arts, but Xiao Yi probably didn't know it yet.He is the one she wants to hide!
The emperor didn't give her more time to think, and said coldly: "Are you going to deceive the emperor?"

Xinmeng felt a chill in her heart, and immediately said: "The courtier's daughter can dance with swords."

To dance a sword, you must know martial arts, otherwise the appearance will not be the same as the spirit.The sword dance, on the other hand, tends to be dance and pays more attention to skills.

His eyes flickered, and he heard that she deliberately changed the order of the words "Wujian", but the emperor didn't hold on to this problem, but took a dagger from his waist and threw it at her feet.

"Good dance, I will give you this dagger, otherwise, I will punish you for deceiving the emperor."

"Your Majesty, is this...not right?" The person who spoke was Empress Lin.

"The empress wants to question my decision?" the emperor said coldly.

"The concubine dare not." Empress Lin turned her head to look at the short sword, a trace of hatred flashed in her eyes.

Xinmeng didn't know, but Empress Lin knew the origin of this dagger very well.

"That bitch. Man! Even after his death, the emperor has been missing him forever." Empress Lin cursed in her heart, while secretly speculating on the emperor's intention for this move.

Did he really want to give Shen Xinmeng the dagger of his beloved woman?Or do you want to use this to punish Shen Xinmeng?
Xinmeng hesitantly picked up the short sword on the ground, and after seeing the patterns and gems inlaid on the sword clearly, her body couldn't help shaking.

Why is this dagger so similar to her dagger, as if it was made by the same swordsmith.

And her dagger was given to her by the Eighth Prince Xiao Lang for self-defense.This dagger was taken from the emperor himself.

Could it be... this short sword has something to do with Xiao Lang?
Facing the moody emperor, she was already on the verge of riding a tiger, and she dared not disobey.

Carrying the short sword, she walked to the center of the observation platform, where she stood there, letting the night wind blow her hair and skirt.
