Chapter 335: Resurrection from the dead, just a plaything
Next, the concubines performed one by one.
All of these beauties are noble ladies from the imperial capital. They have been carefully trained since childhood, just to be able to enter the palace and win some glory for their family.
The emperor has not held a beauty contest for many years. This time, it is a rare opportunity for them.
Each of the concubines tried their best to leave a deep impression in front of the emperor. Fortunately, after entering the palace, she became the first woman favored by the emperor among this group of concubines.
However, the emperor did not have any particular reaction to anyone's performance, and did not say a word.
However, not saying anything was a good thing. At least, no one was removed from the list on the spot.
"Your Majesty, all the beauties have finished their performances." The Queen reminded softly.
"Leave them all here." The emperor responded indifferently.
When the concubines heard this, they all showed joy on their faces.
The look in her eyes when she looked at the emperor was also shy and timid.
The Queen slowly stood up and looked at the concubines. "All the concubines who performed today can enter the palace to accompany the Emperor. Everyone go back to your residence to prepare. In three days, I will send palace maids to your residence to take you to the palace."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace." All the beauties knelt down to express their gratitude.
The emperor's eyes swept across the crowd and fell on Ji Chuhe.
In an environment where there are so many beautiful girls and flowers in full bloom, Ji Chuhe stands out from the crowd. Even if she just sits there quietly, the people around her can't help but become her foil.
It's really a waste of talent for a woman like this to be paired with a loser like Xiao Yan'an.
"Your Majesty." *** suddenly said, "Today, I have another gift for Your Majesty. I have carefully prepared it for a long time."
"My sister has another gift for me?" The emperor was a little surprised.
*** suddenly clapped his hands.
Several guards came out carrying a big drum.
Sitting on the drum is a woman in a dancing costume. The costume is just a layer of gauze, and on the chest is a bellyband with a big red peony embroidered on it. However, the style of this bellyband is not like the ordinary ones. Instead, it wraps the body tightly, making the woman's figure more delicate and graceful.
The skirt on the lower body was like layers of petals stacked together. When the wind blew, it fluttered up, revealing two long, white, beautiful legs.
Except for the emperor, all the people present were women, and of noble birth. When they looked at this woman, they felt that she was too vulgar, and looking at her any longer would seem like defiling their eyes.
Even prostitutes in brothels wouldn't dare to dress so revealingly.
Moreover, it’s so cold at this time. Isn’t this woman afraid of freezing to death by dressing like this?
The woman had a flowing veil on her face, so her features could not be seen clearly. She was wearing flowery makeup and looked enchanting and charming.
A drum beat sounded, and the woman began to dance to the beat.
This dance is indeed an eye-opener. It is not like the dances rehearsed in the palace, nor like the ones specially performed in brothels to seduce people. It is charming yet powerful.
The key is that this woman has to perform various difficult movements on the drums while still being graceful.
If it were a normal person, he would probably not be able to stand steadily after turning around a few times.
Ji Chuhe looked at the woman dancing on the drum and felt that she looked familiar.
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, and the woman's veil fluttered up, finally revealing her facial features.
Ji Qingyuan!
It was her!
At this moment, Ji Qingyuan also turned around and stared at Ji Chuhe closely.
There was a sneer in her eyes.
The emperor's attention was attracted by the dancer.
All the beauties in the audience clutched their handkerchiefs tightly, with expressions of indignation on their faces.
With such a beauty around, can the emperor still see them?
*** is really something. If you want to give a woman to the emperor, why can’t you give her that to him whenever you want?
Why send it at this time!
These people only dared to complain in their hearts and never dared to say a word of complaint in front of the government.
When the dance was over, the woman bowed to the emperor.
"Your Majesty is very busy with state affairs. What I give you is just a toy to relieve your boredom. Please do not refuse. Take her and these beauties together." The voice of the concubine sounded again.
"Since it was sent by my sister, I will accept it. Queen, please arrange for her to stay with these concubines."
"Yes." The queen responded immediately.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." The woman immediately knelt down and saluted.
Ji Chuhe finally understood why *** had to keep her. The wolf pack siege in front was not ***'s entire plan, Ji Qingyuan was!
However, ***'s arrogant and self-willed attitude has offended many people.
What a pity, the grace that *** has received from the emperor is so great, and he has the support of the empress dowager, so no one dares to provoke this madman!
In that case, let her be the first to take action.
It was not until the end of the banquet that *** received the news that Xiao Yan'an had not returned, and a smile appeared on his face.
She rode with the Queen Mother and sent her back to the palace.
"Mother, are you happy with today's situation?"
The Queen Mother smiled. "It's harder than climbing to heaven to get the Huaiyang Palace to divorce Ji Chuhe. The Duke's Mansion also protects Ji Chuhe very much. What you arranged today will allow Liao Yunfei to naturally gain Xiao Yan'an's favor. We can make use of Liao Yunfei and let her replace Ji Chuhe as the Crown Prince's wife."
"Didn't mother say that Xiao Yan'an must not have a woman as outstanding as Ji Chuhe by his side? I will make Xiao Yan'an divorce her with my own hands! If Liao Yunfei's plan doesn't work, I will think of the next one! If the next plan doesn't work, I will have someone destroy Ji Chuhe! I want to see if Xiao Yan'an can still accept a slut who has been abused by others!"
"If we didn't have the late emperor's jade pendant, we could have saved ourselves a lot of trouble."
"It would be so boring if that were the case! When a cat catches a mouse, it will play with it for a while before eating it. I really want to see how Ji Chuhe struggles to death."
"What about the dancer you presented to the emperor? You knew Yun'er had also entered the palace. What if that dancer took away the emperor's favor?"
"Mother, that dancer is even more interesting. Don't worry, she is just a plaything and will never dare to steal Yun'er's limelight."
"That's good."
……
Ji Chuhe sat in the carriage, deep in thought.
Ji Qingyuan is not dead!
And it is also related to ***.
With Ji Qingyuan's hatred for her, she will definitely not let her go!
So, *** wanted to make her lose her status as the Crown Prince's wife, and then ruthlessly abuse her?
"Rong Song." Ji Chuhe lifted the car curtain and called out.
"Madam, what can I do for you?" Rong Song responded immediately.
"Send someone to check the place where Ji Qingyuan died. Even if you have to dig three feet underground, you must make sure whether Ji Qingyuan's body is buried there."
"Yes, ma'am."
Xiao Yan'an anxiously waited for Ji Chuhe's return.
