Pretty Fox: Misunderstood His Royal Highness

Chapter 368 Beauty Hu Qingmei 4
In the main hall, everyone applauded everywhere, and the sound of surprise and praise was endless.

"it is good!"

"Dancing really well! It's rare to see such a wonderful dance in my life!"

"It's beautiful, it's really beautiful!"

Yuan Qingpu stood up promptly and said with a smile;
"The dance that Ms. Hu danced is called the Red Ribbon Dance. It's very exciting, but it's not Ms. Hu's best dance. Ms. Hu's firefly dance is amazing."

The emperor sat up straight, curiosity flashed in his eyes:
"Dance of the fireflies? What kind of dance is that?"

Yuan Qingpu said:
"Father Hui, the dance of fireflies means that when Miss Hu is dancing, many fireflies fly over and accompany her, dancing together."

The emperor was very interested, stroked his beard and said:
"So amazing?" He turned his head, smiled at Hu Qingmei and said, "I don't know if Miss Hu has the pleasure to perform the firefly dance for me? Let me see the wonder of this dance."

Hu Qingmei lowered her head and smiled shyly:
"The little girl is willing to perform for His Majesty. It's just that when dancing the firefly dance, the surrounding candles must be extinguished, so as to attract the fireflies. And in the dark, the fireflies can see clearly only when they emit light."

Before the emperor could speak, Concubine Wu Gui interrupted:

"Your Majesty, this is absolutely impossible."

The emperor asked:
"Aifei, tell me, why not?"

Concubine Wu said:

"The surrounding candles are extinguished, and the hall is pitch-black. If someone plots a crime, deliberately sets a trap to frame His Majesty, or an assassin suddenly appears, what should I do?"

Hu Qingmei's face paled in fright, and she knelt down with a "plop".Her eyes were slightly red, tears were about to drip, and she timidly looked at the emperor with a pitiful look:

"Your Majesty, the little girl is wronged! The little girl is wronged! Even if the little girl is naturally courageous, she dare not frame Your Majesty! The little girl is wronged, Your Majesty!"

Concubine Wu Gui snorted coldly:
"Who are you pretending to be pitiful for? It's said that people's hearts are in the belly. You, a woman with an unknown background, who knows what kind of heart you have?"

The emperor shook his head and said with a smile;
"My dear concubine, you are overthinking. I have no grievances or enmities with Miss Hu, and I consider myself not a fool. Although I have done nothing great, I can still make the country prosperous and the people live and work in peace and contentment. Why did Miss Hu frame me? Besides , Miss Hu has no strength to catch a chicken, she is delicate and weak, what can she do to me? Are all the guards around me are idiots? Are there any troubles, they won't protect me?"

Yuan Qingpu, who had turned pale and anxious, said in a hurry at this time:

"Yes, yes, what the father said is very true. Miss Hu is adding joy to the father's birthday banquet, to make the father happy, so how can she frame the father?"

Wu Guifei glared at him, and said sharply:

"Fourth Highness, I'm just talking about what if. Some things are better to be believed than to be believed, right? Be careful to sail for ten thousand years—"

Before she finished speaking, the emperor interrupted her impatiently:
"It's just a dance, Aifei, you are too fussy."

Concubine Wu Gui felt great jealousy in her heart.With a woman's naturally sensitive sense of smell, she has already sensed some kind of danger - this enchanting woman named Hu Qingmei, who is not friendly, will pose some kind of threat to her.No, taking advantage of the first signs, she must kill this possibility no matter what.

Relying on the emperor's love for her on weekdays, Concubine Wu is a bit unscrupulous:
"His Majesty--"

I don't want the emperor not to listen to her, his face is slightly dark:

"Today is my birthday, and I don't want to hear some unhappy words! No matter who makes me unhappy, I will definitely not let it go!"

Concubine Wu Guifei opened her mouth, wanting to say something else, but seeing the disgust in the emperor's eyes, she was too scared to say anything - this was the first time the emperor looked at her like this since she entered the palace ten years ago.
