Chapter 196 A Shocking Dance

Then everyone dispersed and took their seats in order under the arrangements of several young father-in-laws.

The emperor naturally sat at the top, and at the bottom were General Peng and the third prince sitting on the left and right sides, followed by Mrs. Peng and the third princess, who were then arranged in order according to their official rank.

The entire banquet was full, except for the seat next to the third prince, Hua Rongrong, who was empty.

"Why is the seat of the third princess vacant?" After everyone was seated, the emperor looked at Shangguan Chen and asked pretending to be puzzled.

"Back to the emperor, the princess suddenly felt unwell and really can't attend the dinner. I'm deeply sorry, and I specifically asked the king to tell the emperor." Shangguan Chen stood up, clasped his fists at Shangguan Yu and said.

"Oh? What's wrong with the emperor's wife? Is the situation serious? Have you seen the imperial doctor in the palace?" Shangguan Yu immediately looked nervous and asked with concern.

"No need, it's just an old problem. Just go back and have a good rest." Shangguan Chen said with a slight smile.

"That's the case, that's good." The emperor nodded.

Then he glanced at everyone: "Let's start the banquet!"

"The Emperor's sage will last for generations!" Everyone immediately stood up and said, holding up their wine glasses.

The emperor was immediately overjoyed, stood up and shouted, "All my dear friends, no courtesy!" and then drank all the wine in the glass.

Only then did everyone take their seats, and the banquet officially began.

Then it was time for the versatile concubines in the harem to perform. Silk and bamboo music sounded. The most favored concubine Rong, who was recently favored, danced gracefully in a dance costume made of peacock tail feathers, attracting cheers from everyone.

Shangguan Chen had a smile on his face, but he had no interest in enjoying the singing, dancing and food. The sadness and despair before Huarong left were deeply engraved in his mind and he could not get rid of it no matter what.

She should have returned to the palace now, right?

I have to explain to Rongrong properly when I go back. I really had no choice but to hit her because I had no choice. I hope Rongrong can understand me...

After Concubine Rong finished dancing, Shangguan Yu smiled slightly and asked softly: "On such a hot night, is it not hot for Concubine Rong to wear such thick clothes?"

Concubine Rong Yingying knelt down on the ground and raised her head in a charming manner: "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. Although I am hot, it is worth being warmer for the sake of Your Majesty's happiness."

"Haha, what a coincidence you open your mouth, and the words that come out of your mouth are sweeter than honey!" Shangguan Yu laughed and said.

"Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty." Concubine Rong kowtowed again, her posture as graceful as the elegant peacock she always was.

"Is it just that my beloved concubine doesn't know that I am allergic to feathers?" The emperor's face suddenly darkened and he said displeasedly.

Concubine Rong was happily waiting for the emperor's reward, but when she heard the emperor's words, she suddenly looked shocked: "What? Your Majesty, are you allergic to feathers?"

"Your Majesty, I forgive you. I didn't know that the Emperor was allergic to feathers. I really didn't know." Concubine Rong kowtowed and said anxiously.

"Concubine Rong, as the emperor's personal concubine, you don't know that the emperor is allergic to feathers!" Eunuch Zhao, who was beside the emperor, shouted angrily.

"Pull it down." Shangguan Yu waved his hand lightly and said.

Everyone present was already stunned and did not dare to express their anger for fear of angering the emperor.

The atmosphere became extremely depressing.

"Your Majesty, forgive me. Your Majesty, I really didn't mean it. I beg Your Majesty to remember our past friendship and not send me to the cold palace. I still want to serve the Emperor again." Concubine Rong, who was still radiant just now.

By this time, I was already crying uncontrollably. I threw myself on the ground and begged sadly. I looked indescribably miserable.

Everyone present couldn't help but take a breath of air. The principle of accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger. This must be the case.

"Your Majesty, it's Concubine Ming! Concubine Ming said that the emperor particularly likes the feathers of peacocks, and praised that women who wear peacock feathers are truly like phoenixes. Your Majesty, you have to make the decision for me. It's Concubine Ming who is framing me!" Concubine Rong!

Suddenly she figured out why Concubine Ming asked her to wear a feather dance dress, and cried anxiously.

The emperor sneered: "A phoenix is ​​a phoenix. No matter how hard a peacock tries, it is impossible to become a phoenix. Doesn't my beloved concubine even understand such a simple truth?"

After saying that, he looked in the direction of Shangguan Chen.

Anyone can see that the emperor is secretly mocking the third prince by talking about Concubine Rong!

The atmosphere became more tense.

"Like a flower blooming among thorns..." A high-pitched and translucent female voice sounded above the roof, and the beautiful singing voice instantly attracted everyone to look up.

The moment they raised their heads, before anyone could see clearly who was coming, all the candles in the entire hall were extinguished at the same time. The originally brightly lit hall instantly became dark, and even outside the hall, there was no moonlight shining.

The singing and the sound of silk and bamboo did not stop due to the sudden darkness, but became more melodious.

Everyone's eyes gradually adapted to the darkness, and then they discovered that the person above them was actually glowing!

The soft waist looks even brighter against the soft moonlight clothes, and it is simply more attractive than the moonlight!

Her eyes were wandering, her beautiful face was scanning the whole place, her pink face was a little red on her lips, her expression was both eager to speak and shy, and she was indescribably charming.

Everyone was fascinated by the beautiful face, the music was even more soul-stirring, the beautiful face turned softly, and the beautiful face reflected the moonlight, flawless.

Her dark and shining eyes are like a deep breath under the moonlight. Wherever she goes, men and women are attracted by her. Her beauty is like pink peach petals, her manners are like an orchid, and her long black hair is as smooth as a waterfall.

, draped in that moonlight dress, it makes people feel like a fairyland, with a light smile on her plain and elegant face.

Everyone was watching with fascination. Shangguan Yu had seen countless beauties and could not bear to blink at this moment.

It wasn't until the figure floated to the ground that Shangguan Chen came back to his senses. The peerless dancer who performed the dance turned out to be Huarongrong!

His eyes instantly became deep. How could she appear in the main hall? She didn't return home?

His eyes fell on Shangguan Yu, and his intoxicated look made Shangguan Chen start to worry, wouldn't the emperor be fascinated by Rongrong?

It wasn't until the dance ended that the candles in the entire hall suddenly lit up at the same time, and the hall was brightly lit again. Concubine Rong, who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly woke up and screamed: "How can you dance better than me!"

Everyone in the main hall already felt as if they were in another world. Shangguan Yu looked at Hua Rongrong blankly, and after a long time, he suddenly shouted: "Reward!"

Peng Yuanyuan reacted belatedly, looking at Huarong Rong blankly, but no longer dared to say anything.

Peng Yuanyuan, who had always been proud, suddenly felt extremely inferior. She wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl in. How could she compete with such a stunning woman?

"Concubine, thank you, Your Majesty." Huarongrong stood not far from Concubine Rong, saluted gracefully, and curled up into a smile.

And Concubine Rong had already cried and took off her makeup. She has become the most miserable foil next to Hua Rongrong. The peacock outfit she prepared mentally is even more disgusting. Seeing a suit of feathers in Zaore's weather is really not a thing.

Something comfortable.

Yue Guangyi, who is far less beautiful, looks pleasing to the eye and beautiful.

"Hua Rongrong, whatever reward you want, I can satisfy you!" Shangguan Yulong said with great joy and pride.

"Really?" Hua Rongrong said in surprise, then turned to look at Shangguan Chen.

He closed his eyes, took a deep breath and said: "I beg the emperor to dissolve my concubine's marriage to the third prince, demote me to a commoner, and have nothing to do with the third prince from now on!"

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked. The third princess was a position that many people were fighting for. What happened to this beautiful woman? She actually asked the emperor to remove her from her status as the third princess.

"Impossible!" Before the emperor could speak, Shangguan Chen had already stood up and said angrily.

This time, he was really angry. Yesterday, he snuggled into his arms obediently and promised to swear an eternal alliance with him. Today, he changed his face and asked to have nothing to do with him anymore?

At this moment, he really wanted to rush forward, pry open Huarongrong's head, and see what this woman was thinking!

"The emperor said that he would grant me a wish, but I only made such a simple request. Can't the emperor satisfy it?" A tear slipped down his face, which made people feel distressed. Even General Peng, who had previously hated Hua Rongrong, felt sad.

I can't help but feel soft and hope that the world will not embarrass this beautiful woman.

"You are already married to me. You will be my son when you are born, and you will be my ghost when you die! Only I can do without you, otherwise no one can let you leave me!" Shangguan Chen was already angry, and there was something hidden in his voice.

With a burning flame.

Hua Rongrong sneered: "Haha, why? Why can you divorce me, but I can't divorce you? Your third prince may be the man that many women long for."

After saying that, he glanced at Peng Yuanyuan and snorted: "But I don't care about my beauty!"

When these words were spoken, a tight string in Huarong's heart seemed to be suddenly disconnected. Her internal organs were cut and scarred, and she almost fainted from the pain.

Suppressing the pain in her heart, Hua Rongrong put a smile on her lips with difficulty, and her eyes did not hide the deep despair: "The third prince is still so domineering, and he is still so domineering until this time."

Shaking his head slightly, he turned his eyes to look at the emperor: "The emperor is true to his word, can he satisfy Rongrong's simple request?"

Shangguan Yu didn't expect that Hua Rongrong would make such a request, and he was immediately at a loss. Even if he was the emperor, he didn't have the right to make decisions about his brother's princess, right?

Then he smiled awkwardly and said: "Sister-in-law, even if the emperor bullies you, I won't divorce him. At most, I can help you make the decision and punish the following emperor brother."

Jacquard had already broken out in a cold sweat. If he hadn't been biting his lip, he might have been so scared that he would have convulsed.

Anxious sweat dripped down from his forehead, but he didn't dare to rush forward to stop Hua Rongrong.

"So the emperor is going to break his promise?" Huarong Rong did not waver at all, her tone became more firm.

The heart seems to be buried deep in the iceberg of ten thousand years, and it cannot be shaken at all. Hua Rongrong is like this. Once she has decided to die, she will not regret it, even if she still likes Shangguan Chen in her heart, even if she will regret it in the future.

I'm also willing to suffer for myself.

"How could the Emperor break his promise as a noble? If you don't like the Third Prince, many people do!" Peng Yuanyuan suddenly stood up and said.

One sentence immediately pushed Shangguanyu to a higher position, making it impossible for him to step down.

Even General Peng had a chill down his spine, and his clothes were soaked with cold sweat and sticky on his body.

"Be brave, why don't you sit down quickly if you are in front of your Majesty!" General Peng stood up in a hurry and scolded.

"Dad, what my daughter said is the truth. All civil and military officials are here. The emperor clearly said that he will realize any wish of the princess. Why can't my daughter say it?" Peng Yuanyuan bit her lip and gritted her teeth and said.

No matter what, after fighting for love, the competitor offered to withdraw at this time. How could Peng Yuanyuan let such a strong opponent stay with Shangguan Chen, so even if he risked his life, he still had to force the emperor to agree to Hua Rongrong's request.
