Pretty Fox: Misunderstood His Royal Highness

392 Chapter 5
The queen watched the reaction on Wu Guifei's face calmly, and a sneer flashed in her eyes that was not easy to detect.She was sitting on the mountain watching the tigers fight. For a long time, Concubine Wu Gui was arrogant and defiant. She didn't turn a blind eye to it, but was waiting for an appropriate opportunity to wipe out the weeds.Now there is nothing wrong with using Concubine Hu Xian's hand to deal with Concubine Wu Gui.

When Helian Sichao came this time, he gave the emperor of Nanyue Kingdom 5000 taels of gold, [-] horses, and [-] fat lambs.

The emperor ordered five hundred lambs to be slaughtered, and the whole lamb was roasted at the banquet.

During the banquet, there was constant singing and laughter.

The palace maids shuttled back and forth, bringing plates of grilled mutton, and glasses of fine wine, such as Wuyou Wine, Lanjiu, Cuitao, Fengjiu, and Yunjiang, all kinds of expensive wines that are often drunk at court banquets.

The emperor smiled, and while eating roast lamb and drinking fine wine, he turned his head from time to time, chatting with Concubine Hu Xian beside him in a low voice, and let out bursts of pleasant laughter.After two glasses of wine, the emperor got excited and said to Concubine Hu Xian:
"Concubine Ai, let's dance for fun."

Concubine Hu Xian's starry eyes were rippling, and her peach cheeks were about to faint.She pursed her lips and said in a coquettish voice:

"The concubine obeys."

A servant brought four large vats, covered with thick boards, while Concubine Hu Xian changed into a red gauze dance dress, clogs and a small bell on her skirt.Then Concubine Hu Xian stood on the wooden board above the vat and danced lightly.The graceful dancing posture is like a goddess scattering flowers, erratic and soft, graceful and varied, giving people an ethereal and magical artistic conception.

The most amazing thing is that the wooden clogs under Concubine Hu Xian's feet stepped on the wooden board, making a heavy echo of "clank, clang, clang, rattle"; The sounds are intertwined and have a charming flavor.

Everyone's eyes were straightened, and they called it "good".

Concubine Wu Gui turned her head and looked at the emperor.At this time, the emperor looked at Concubine Hu Xian without moving his eyeballs, his eyes were full of amazement.Concubine Wu Gui hated her teeth so much that she wished she could fly a knife to her eyes and cut Concubine Hu Xian into pieces.She suppressed the overwhelming jealousy in her heart, finally stood up after Hu Xianfei finished dancing, and said with a charming smile:
"Your Majesty, the concubine should also perform a song for everyone."

The emperor was in high spirits:

"What does Concubine Ai perform?"

Concubine Wu Gui smiled sweetly;
"Didn't Your Majesty like to watch my concubine play the snare drum back then? The concubine should play the snare drum for everyone."

The emperor stroked his beard, shook his head and smiled:

"My concubine, don't make a fool of yourself. Your snare drum playing is not in the elegant hall, not to mention that you haven't played it for so many years, and you probably gave birth to your hands. It can't compare to Hu Aifei, her dance , is astonishing.”

Before the emperor finished speaking, someone covered his mouth and snickered.

Concubine Wu Gui was at a loss, her face turned pale and then red, red and then blue, her charming smile froze on her face, extremely embarrassing.

The emperor's words were like an invisible hand that ruthlessly extended to the face, making Concubine Wu feel ashamed and in a desperate situation.She didn't know that she practiced playing the snare drum very diligently in the past few days, just to wait for this day's performance, and also wanted to take this opportunity to win back the emperor's heart.

At that time, the emperor was deeply fascinated by her because she was good at playing the snare drum, and praised her for "knocking out with slender hands, the rhythm is sonorous, lively and brisk, with a unique charm, which is soul-stirring".I don't want to, but now in the eyes of the emperor, it has become "your play of playing the snare drum is not in the elegant hall".It can be seen that if a man no longer loves you, his previous advantages will also become disadvantages.

The queen sat there, smiling calmly.

Helian Sichao sat there, bowed his head, and said a few words to his sister Helian Wuxie, which was the language of the Western Regions, and everyone couldn't understand it.Helian Wuxie nodded, then stood up with a smile on her face, changed the language of Nanyue Kingdom, and said in a crisp voice:

"I'll show off one too, and do a dance for everyone."
