Rebirth of the Banshee Concubine

Chapter 105 The Princess Is Courteous
Tianxiang was displeased: "Your son is too eager, I naturally have a way to get rid of those people, why bother him?"

As soon as the words fell, the nostrils were filled with a familiar aroma.The next moment, Luo Tianqi hugged her and hid in a cave: "Little girl, you hurt my heart too much! Did I do that because I was worried about you?"

Tianxiang blushed, pushed him and said, "Can you stop hugging like this?"

"No way!" Luo Tianqi rubbed her neck and said, "You don't even know that I miss each other every day!"

Tian Xiang was stunned, and stopped talking.

Luo Tianqi said again: "Promise me that you will never say those things that hurt my heart again, okay?"

"Hmm..." Tianxiang replied shyly, feeling sorry for him.

"Today's palace banquet is not well-attended, you must be careful." Luo Tianqi reminded.

"I'll save it, but no matter what happens, you will always face me, right?" Tian Xiang suddenly felt a twitch in her heart and subconsciously probed.

Luo Tianqi immediately said: "It's natural, if I don't turn to you, who else can I turn to?"

"Then, if Luo Zhaoyi attacks me, will you also attack me?" Tianxiang raised her eyes, staring intently into his eyes.

When Luo Tianqi heard the words, anger suddenly arose in his heart, he gritted his teeth and said, "Don't worry, she dare not do anything to you!"

Tianxiang felt his anger, and thought that Luo Tianqi seemed to dislike his sister very much?

"Master, someone is here." Yiju reminded suddenly.

Luo Tianqi reluctantly let go of Tianxiang, watched her leave, and then slowly walked out from another exit.Facing him were some nobles, who greeted him and said, "Hey, so our Mr. Luo is here!"

"Well, it's quiet here, and it's exquisite." Luo Tianqi lied calmly.

"That's true, but I think it's more suitable for a private meeting with a daughter..." one of the young masters joked.

Luo Tianqi smiled indifferently, and everyone couldn't figure out what he meant.

"It's getting late, let's quickly enter the palace!"

"I heard that this time the envoys from Nanyue are the prince and princess!"

"That's true. In such a comparison, the Tai Tuo of Dongli Kingdom shivered a little."

"The emperor is here—the empress is here—"

"Long live my emperor! Long live the empress!" Everyone knelt down.

Emperor Xiande of the Xijing Kingdom, sitting high on the dragon seat, raised his hand: "Let's be flat!"

"Thank you!"

Nanyue Murong Zijin and Murong Zishu stepped down from their seats, and said with blessings: "Murong Zijin, the special envoy of Nanyue, brought his imperial sister Murong Zishu to see His Majesty the Emperor! Congratulations on His Majesty's birthday, Your Majesty will live forever!"

"Prince Murong, you are welcome, you have come from a long way, and I will have a drink with you as a landlord!" Emperor Xiande was surprised by Nanyue, and even sent the crown prince here.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Murong Zijin drank the wine in his glass in one gulp.

"Ah, look at that Nanyue princess, she is actually wearing a phoenix dress!"

Wei Yunpan originally thought that his attire today would definitely outshine others.But who would have thought that Murong Zishu's dress would compare to her by a distance!With a cold snort, Wei Yunpan shouted angrily: "Hmph, what's so special? Isn't it just a dress decorated with a few phoenix feathers, what's the air!"

Empress Wei coughed dryly and said: "The princess of Nanyue is really beautiful. I saw her today, and I feel like a picture!"

"Your Majesty's ridiculous praise, Zishu is ashamed and dare not take it!" Murong Zishu smiled humbly, but deep in her eyes was deep contempt and disdain.

The Queen naturally noticed it, and turned to Emperor Xiande and said, "Your Majesty, since the distinguished guests are all here, let's start the palace banquet!"

Emperor Xiande nodded, and the eunuch beside him shouted loudly: "Your Majesty has an order, the palace banquet begins!"

Next, several princes presented their birthday gifts one after another.And the envoys from Nanyue and Dongli also presented congratulatory gifts one after another.Emperor Xiande was already slightly drunk, but he wasn't drunk at all in his heart, instead he became more sober.

Suddenly, Murong Zishu stood up: "Your Majesty, you must have been bored watching the dances of Xijing Kingdom all day long. Why don't you allow Zishu to perform dances to cheer you up?"

"It's rare for Princess Zishu to be elegant. I have always heard that Princess is good at dancing. Don't let me down!" Emperor Xiande said with a twinkle in his eyes.

Murong Zishu didn't agree immediately, but said provocatively: "Since performing dances, you must have a bit of a prize. Zishu suggested that a talented girl from Xijing Kingdom perform dances together, and compete with Zishu on dancing skills, the one who won Your majesty will give you a reward, what do you think of your majesty?"

Tianxiang despises her from the bottom of her heart, this Murong Zishu's brain is flooded.Didn't she deliberately slap Emperor Xiande in such a provocative way?To congratulate Emperor Xiande on his birthday, she insisted on having a contest. If she won, wouldn't it make the Xijing Kingdom lose face?

Emperor Xiande thought for a while and said: "This proposal is good, why don't I give the lottery now, and the winning party, I will give her a good marriage!"

Murong Zishu smiled enchantingly: "That's very good! If Zishu wins by chance, please marry me! But Zishu's son-in-law must be chosen by Zishu herself!" After finishing speaking, she looked straight at King Yan, King Xuan's direction.

All the daughters stared at Murong Zishu with resentment, but Murong Zishu said proudly: "Then, Your Majesty, can the Xijing Kingdom choose someone to compete with this princess in dancing skills?"

As soon as these words came out, the entire hall immediately fell into silence.Everyone began to think carefully, this Murong Zishu was obviously confident, so who would want his daughter to make a fool of herself on stage?
"Your Majesty, there is a suitable candidate for my concubine..." At this moment, the two voices said in unison.

Emperor Xiande followed the prestige, and it turned out to be Concubine Liang Hui and Concubine Nian who spoke out, and immediately said with a smile: "Both concubines are suitable candidates, but it makes me think less, why don't you just say it, and let all the ministers consider it together !"

Concubine Nian immediately lowered her eyes and said: "The concubine dare not, sister Hui Concubine should speak first!"

Concubine Liang Hui sneered: "The concubine thought that Miss Wei, the empress's sister-in-law, could take on this important task. Miss Wei has a reputation as a talented woman, and she is good at playing piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. If you think about it, her dancing skills must be superb."

The queen was startled, and then understood the deep meaning, her complexion sank: "Sister Huifei praised her, but Pan'er only has a little superficial knowledge, it's really hard to compare with the princess."

Wei Yunpan was very excited and proud when he heard Concubine Liang Hui's words.But her sister's words undoubtedly made her face a bucket of cold water, and her complexion immediately became ugly.Pursing her lips, she was about to stand up and invite herself to perform a dance, but she was stared at coldly by her brother and dared not move.

Emperor Xiande looked at Concubine Nian: "Who do you want to recommend, Concubine?"

Concubine Nian smiled slightly: "Your Majesty, my concubine feels that Miss Ning Mengqi of General Huwei's residence has an excellent dancing posture."

Hearing this, Ning Mengqi raised her eyes and met everyone's eyes generously.It was only then that everyone remembered that this Ning Mengqi was known as the number one beauty in Xijing Country.

"Miss Ning is the daughter of the General's Mansion. She is known as the number one beauty in our country, so she must have good dancing skills!"

"That's right. Miss Ning is the cousin of Miss Qi, the number one talented woman. I think her dancing skills will not disappoint."

Luo Zhaoyi's face was gloomy, because of that incident, she hadn't smiled all this time.The people in Ganlu Palace whispered, saying that Empress Zhaoyi was ill, everyone looked at it and felt that the rumors were true.

Luo Zhaoyi glanced at Qi Tianxiang, and when he realized that Yizhu and Yiju were standing beside him, his expression became even more sinister.Unexpectedly, the master actually cherishes Qi Tianxiang so much!They all sent Xuanji Pavilion's capable subordinates to her side to guard her!She has always known the importance of this girl in the heart of the master, but it is still an extravagant hope!

Especially in the last trial, what he got was almost irreversible.This made Luo Zhaoyi feel even more indignant and sad.

Emperor Xiande looked over inadvertently, and found that Luo Zhaoyi's face was sad and haggard, and his complexion immediately hurt.Concubine Ru realized this, and suddenly said worriedly: "Sister Luo's complexion is not very good, is there something wrong? Do you want Xuanyu doctor to check the pulse?"

All the concubines looked over immediately when they heard the words, this Luo Zhaoyi used to be the most smiling, but today he suddenly looks haggard.Hearing Rufei talk about Xuan Yuyi again, she immediately thought, could it be that this bitch has one?

Luo Zhaoyi calmed down, shook her head and said, "Thank you, sister Rufei, for your concern. This concubine just got a cold a few days ago, it's fine."

When the queen heard the words, she immediately said: "The wind and cold can't be taken lightly, come here, the imperial doctor Xuan will diagnose Luo Zhaoyi's pulse!"

Luo Zhaoyi's unhappy mood was even more unhappy: "Thank you, Empress, for your concern. It's okay for my concubine. Today is the emperor's birthday banquet. I don't want my concubine to spoil everyone's interest because of me. Please allow me to retire first!"

Just as the queen was about to speak, Concubine Liang Hui interjected: "Your Majesty, since sister Zhaoyi is not feeling well, let her go back to rest first! Now it is important to choose a daughter with excellent dancing skills, and you must not lose Your Majesty's face!"

"Forget it, just take your leave first!" The Queen waved her hand, Luo Zhaoyi blessed her body, and took her leave first.

Emperor Xiande thought for a while, and thought that Ning Mengqi had a better chance of winning, so he looked at Ning Mengqi and said, "Ning Mengqi stepped forward to listen to the order—"

Ning Mengqi curled up and Tingting stepped forward: "My daughter Ning Mengqi accepts the order."

"I order you to compete with the Nanyue princess in dancing skills with all your strength. If you win, I will reward you a lot!"

"Yes, the courtier will live up to her mission!" Ning Mengqi was excited for a while.

Ning Mengqi stepped onto the stage and said arrogantly to Murong Zishu, "The princess is polite!"

Murong Zishu retreated backstage and changed into a hollow long-sleeved dance dress, exposing her flawless white skin.Especially around her waist, wrists and even ankles, there is a bell hanging. As she dances, the bell makes a melodious sound.Everyone's eyes were unblinking, Murong Zishu believed that she would never lose.

After the dance was over, Murong Zishu knelt down: "Your Majesty, I wonder how Zishu's dancing skills are?"

"It's really not bad! It's an eye-opener..."

"I don't know how Miss Ning's dancing skills are, but don't..."

Ning Mengqi's face was pale, all her confidence was shaken the moment she saw Murong Zishu's dancing skills!Ning Mengqi went backstage in a daze, feeling uneasy.

Tianxiang sighed, losing is not losing, but Ning Mengqi's expression just now indicates that she will definitely lose.

Yizhu worried: "Miss, it seems that Miss Ning is a little bit powerless!"

Tianxiang said: "It's okay, it's good to let her lose once. Overly inflated self-confidence is arrogance. This time, let her gain insight and memory."

Ning Mengqi was dressed in a white dance dress, as tall and pure as a lily.And her dance is gradually around the shape of the lily, which looks like a lily fairy descending from a distance.At the very end, Ning Mengqi planned to end up like a fairy scattering flowers, but her ankle hurt and she fell to the ground hard.

Xia Yixuan immediately looked at Murong Zijin, and suddenly stood up.Xia Yifei grabbed him and said, "Fourth brother, wait a minute, don't be impatient."

Xia Yixuan's face was full of anger: "Third brother, that's too much! Could it be that I let that vulgar princess choose..."

"Shut up! Be safe and don't be impatient, this matter is not over yet!" Xia Yifei scolded coldly.

Ning Mengqi couldn't figure out why she fell down, tears fell down her eyes, she wished she could hit her head to death.

Emperor Xiande saw that she was seriously injured, and ordered the maid to help her down.After all, Ning Mengqi is the general's daughter.But General Hu Wei was the first to stand up and confess the crime: "Your Majesty, I have lost face in Xijing because I have no way to teach my daughter. Please forgive me!"

The displeasure in Emperor Xiande's heart softened when he saw this: "General Ning doesn't need to blame himself, this matter is God's will, I will order someone to treat Miss Ning's injuries, I believe Miss Ning will be fine."
