The woman in the red dress slowly walked towards the Emperor of Southern Xinjiang and Queen Wu, and bowed to them: "Lingyun wishes my father to unify the world as soon as possible, and my mother to be in good health!"

The Emperor of Southern Xinjiang obviously liked this sentence very much, and said with a smile: "What a good daughter I am, she actually understands my thoughts."

Empress Wu's eyes were as gentle as autumn water, and she nodded to Lingyun. Lingyun then retreated and returned to the seat of the female relatives. She said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, Lingyun has reached the age to get married."

The emperor raised his eyebrows slightly and asked: "The queen said so, but she has a man she likes?"

Empress Wu looked at Lingyun with gentle eyes like an ordinary mother. Lingyun hurriedly lowered her head and showed a shy look: "Lingyun already has a man she likes, and this man is both civilized and martial, and has a handsome appearance. Indeed,

He is a good choice for a consort.”[

The emperor shook his head and smiled: "Well, I think we should test the prince-in-law's ability, or have a martial arts contest to find Princess Lingyun a bride!"

Empress Wu frowned slightly, but the emperor obviously didn't want her to interrupt him and continued: "Since that man is a good candidate for the consort, and the empress said that he is a good man with both civil and military skills, he should stand out among all living beings.

None of this should trouble him, what do you think, Queen?"

Empress Wu originally wanted to ask the emperor to grant this marriage, but she never expected that the emperor understood her intentions and changed her mind to some kind of civil and military marriage for Lingyun? She couldn't help clenching her hands into fists in anger.

Behind the wide sleeves of his robe, his face was calm and gentle.

She nodded: "I think the emperor's idea is good, so just do it according to the emperor's wishes!"

Lin Ruoxi and Mrs. Situ were obviously in the dark. In their impression, Princess Lingyun should have been killed by Queen Wu. This was a shame to the royal family. How could she endure a person who had shamed the royal family and still be alive?

In the palace.

Suddenly, Lin Ruoxi seemed to realize something. In fact, Princess Lingyun did not die at all some time ago, but Queen Wu deliberately spread these rumors to Pingyang Hou Mansion, and only the people in Pingyang Hou Mansion knew about it. In other words, only the Situ family

People know that her purpose was not to divert the attention of the Situ family and not to use Princess Lingyun to take revenge on her.

Wu Jing on the skirt. During this period, Princess Lingyun can find a famous doctor to treat her heart disease. Now Princess Lingyun should have been cured of her heart disease. To be more precise, she should have forgotten the humiliation she experienced some time ago. That period

The memory has been erased, so she can smile so calmly and without fear.

Lin Ruoxi raised her eyes, and a pair of eyes as black and bright as a deep lake happened to meet Empress Wu's eyes like a deep pool. At this moment, both sides could see the hatred in each other's hearts, and wished to tear each other apart and save the bones, but

The two of them passed by with calm expressions and smiles, but everyone knew in their hearts that there must be an understanding between them, either she would live or she would die.

Empress Wu smiled elegantly and said: "I heard that all the female relatives here are versatile and proficient in all kinds of music, chess, calligraphy and painting. Let one of you put on a performance. If the performance is good, I and the emperor will reward you."

of."

The emperor smiled and nodded: "Since the queen has spoken like this, don't restrain yourselves!"

Everyone who was invited to the palace banquet just now saw Ling Guiren offending Concubine Situ Hui and then being dragged down and severely punished. They were already frightened. How could they dare to perform in the middle of the hall? If they were performing inappropriately,

What they received was not a reward but a punishment, so wouldn't it be worth the loss? 13v.

When they thought of this, the female relatives lowered their eyes one after another, not daring to raise their heads to look at the emperor and queen sitting on the dragon and phoenix golden chairs, for fear of being called by name to perform on stage.

"I am not very talented, so I went on stage to perform a song called 'Flying Flower Dance' to cheer up the Emperor and the Queen." A woman in a goose-yellow willow skirt slowly walked out from among the female relatives, with a peach petal between her eyebrows, and her face was exquisite and too enchanting.

, whoever sees it will be unable to help but want to take a few more glances, and will be fascinated by her beauty.

Of course Lin Ruoxi recognized this woman. She was Empress Wu's niece Yuan Liwei, the most beautiful woman in Southern Xinjiang.

Yuan Liwei walked to the front of the hall, and when passing by Lin Jingxuan, she deliberately paused for a moment, slightly rolled her eyes at him, and cast a wave of charming eyes like autumn water. If other princes were afraid that they could not control themselves, they would step forward and kill this beauty.

The man picked her up, but Lin Jingxuan raised the wine glass towards Lin Ruoxi and drank it down in one gulp, and smiled at her with curved eyebrows. It was so handsome that Yuan Liwei couldn't help but feel jealous. She turned her eyes slightly and glanced at Lin Ruoxi coldly.

However, Lin Ruoxi couldn't help but lower her eyes and smile. Jingxuan was also convinced that the beauty had already expressed her love to him, so he just didn't see her. He was still pretending to be familiar with her at this time, and deliberately made this beauty angry.

Isn't this obviously embarrassing to her?

Yuan Liwei walked to the main hall, holding a long pink arm in her hand. As the wonderful music played, Yuan Liwei turned around slightly and flicked the arm in her hand. The pink arm was flying in the air like petals. She

The steps are light,

Her body was soft, and when she turned around, her yellow skirt floated slowly on the ground, like a yellow hibiscus flower that had just emerged from the water. It was so delicate and charming, and her swaying arms were like flying petals.

It's as beautiful as a dream.

After the song "Flying Flower Dance" was completed, there was thunderous applause in the hall. Yuan Liwei deliberately glanced at Lin Jingxuan to see if he also appreciated her singing and dancing, but Lin Jingxuan did not even look at her.

He greeted Lin Ruoxi from afar in front of her, seemingly affectionately.

When the Emperor and Empress Wu saw her performance, they couldn't help but praise her excellent dancing. The Emperor also ordered someone to reward her with a glass of nectar and flower wine. This kind of wine can only be tasted by noble people like the Emperor and Empress in the royal family.

Even Concubine Situ Hui has never drunk such precious wine.[

Yuan Liwei deliberately stopped dancing not far from the seat where Lin Ruoxi was sitting. When a palace maid took the order and handed the cup of nectar and flower wine given by the emperor to her hand, Yuan Liwei bowed to the emperor and the queen to thank her, but

Just when she stood up, her left foot accidentally stepped on the skirt of her skirt, and she threw the wine glass in her hand, and it flew towards Lin Ruoxi's face.

This scene made all the guests sitting here stare in shock.

/

Lin Ruoxi reacted quickly, raised her hand, picked up the teacup, and threw it out. It happened to collide with the flying wine glass and made a "dang" sound. Yuan Liwei's face was frightened, but there was a smile of success on the corners of her lips. But this kind of success

Her smile only lasted for five seconds. A cup of tea, a cup of nectar and flower wine, and teacups all fell on her face and head, sprinkling all over her head and body.

Yuan Liwei screamed "Ah!" and when her slender fingers touched the sticky puddle on her head and face which was not only tea or wine, but mixed liquid dripping down, she rolled her eyes and almost died.

Passed out.

When people in the main hall saw Yuan Liwei in such an embarrassing state, they couldn't help but cover their mouths and laugh. Although some of the royal princes opposite were very sympathetic, but seeing Yuan Liwei in such an embarrassing state, they couldn't help but turn away and snicker.

.

The emperor smiled and said: "Daughter of the Yuan family, are you deliberately performing a comedy show to make everyone happy?"

Queen Wu could see from the side that all this was done by Lin Ruoxi, but she was the queen of Southern Xinjiang, so she would not argue with a little girl over Yuan Liwei in front of so many people.

Yuan Liwei's pear blossoms were wet with rain, she stood up and cried: "Your Majesty, my servant fell down accidentally, and the wine glass in her hand also fell down inadvertently, but..." She suddenly stretched out her finger and pointed at Lin Ruoxi.

, said with deep hatred: "If she hadn't thrown out the tea cup on purpose just now and hit the wine glass, how could I have ended up in such an embarrassing situation? How could I have made everyone laugh?"

The emperor looked at Lin Ruoxi with searching eyes. Lin Ruoxi knew that he wanted to ask for an explanation. Well, since everyone wanted to hear it, she would give it to her.

Lin Ruoxi stood up slowly, walked to Yuan Liwei's side, and said calmly: "Your Majesty, your servant just acted in self-defense. If your servant hadn't thrown out the teacup and hit the wine glass just now, the person who was full of wine and embarrassed would have

She is my daughter."

Yuan Liwei said pitifully: "But you could have run away, why did you do that to me?"

"Get away, the incident happened suddenly. If it were you, do you think you can escape? Miss Yuan, you really have a wild imagination. How about you sit on the seat this time, I will throw away the wine glass, and you

Try to avoid it and see if you can avoid it in time?"

Yuan Liwei didn't expect Lin Ruoxi to be so sharp-tongued. She used her trump card and looked at the seats of the princes with beautiful eyes. Here was King Li Yuyu. She knew that King Yu was handsome, talented and well-known as a good man. This time she

You must ask him for help.

Sure enough, Li Yu saw Yuan Liwei's tears and felt pity. He stood up and defended Yuan Liwei: "Miss Situ, Miss Yuan has already been so embarrassed by you, but you still want to be so aggressive. Isn't it a bit strange?"

Too much?"

Lin Ruoxi said calmly: "Prince Yu, you said Ruoxi is aggressive, so if Ruoxi comes to you for help now, will you help me, or will you not help me? Everyone has compassion,

But compassion should not be overflowing. You must know how to assess the situation. It is better to hide the compassion you should not have, so as not to get into trouble and make trouble for yourself."

Lin Jingxuan stood up and glanced at Prince Yu disdainfully: "This is a matter between women. Why do you, a grown man, want to get involved? It's really not embarrassing!"

King Yu's eyes were wide with anger, but he didn't know how to defend Lin Jingxuan, so he simply sat down angrily and drank a glass of wine in a sullen tone.

At this moment, Princess Lingyun in red came over. Her eyes were as dark as a deep pool, and her smile was sweet, but it hid danger. She came to Lin Ruoxi, narrowed her beautiful eyes, and said lightly: "Miss Situ.
