After killing four concubines, the queen was sentenced to death and reborn

King Ming saw it all but said nothing. He just thought King Xiang was stupid and was courting the death of his own accord by coveting the emperor's woman.

However, he did not disclose the matter, firstly because of lack of evidence and secondly because it was not the right time.

He is not kind enough to help him hide this matter. He must make good use of this matter.

The music stopped, and the dancers knelt on the ground, waiting for Xiao Xuanchen to speak, "Reward!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Queen."

Zheng Xiyan inadvertently caught his eye, which was fixed on the dancer in red, and it seemed that he had developed feelings for her.

Zheng Xiyan looked at the dancer in red. She was indeed pretty and charming, a stunner. She also danced well, as graceful as a startled swan and as elegant as a swimming dragon. Many men in the hall looked at her.

But this dancer is not one to stay still either. Her eyes keep drifting towards Xiao Xuanchen. It seems that the two of them are in love with each other!

"Your Majesty! I think the dancer in red is very good. What do you think, Your Majesty?" Zheng Xiyan looked at him with a smile, the meaning of which was self-evident.

"What the Queen said is indeed true." Xiao Xuanchen turned his head to look at her with an awkward expression on his face. He felt a little embarrassed as his thoughts were exposed.

"It's a pity for a girl with such beauty to be a dancer." Zheng Xiyan said with a smile.

As soon as Zheng Xiyan finished speaking, Murong Yue sneered, "The Queen is praising her too much. She is just a dancer. Why does the Queen praise her so much?"

"Why is Concubine Rong so excited? I just think she is pretty and dances well, so I am just praising her." Zheng Xiyan had an expression as if she was watching a show. Murong Yue was really anxious.

"I just feel that a little dancer is not worthy of you." Murong Yue replied.

Xiao Xuanchen spoke up at this time, "The Queen is right. It is indeed a pity to let her be a dancer. From now on, she will be named a concubine!"

Murong Yue's face changed drastically, and she became excited, "Your Majesty!"

"What? Do you have any objections?" Xiao Xuanchen looked unhappy and was very dissatisfied with her.

Murong Yue then realized that she had lost her composure, but seeing Zheng Xiyan's calm face, she clearly did it on purpose, "I dare not."

The dancer quickly thanked him, "Thank you, Your Majesty, and thank you, Queen."

"What's your last name?" Zheng Xiyan asked.

The dancer replied, "Your Majesty, my maid's surname is Zhao."

"Okay! From now on, you are Zhao Cainv. You must serve His Majesty well. Get up!" Zheng Xiyan said with a smile.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zhao Cainv looked grateful.

Zhao Cainü's face was full of excitement. She had originally had no hope, but she didn't expect that His Majesty would actually appoint her as a Cainu. Although she was the last Cainu, she finally got rid of her identity as a dancer and became His Majesty's concubine.

That night, as expected, Xiao Xuanchen summoned Zhao Cainv to his bed.

Murong Yue returned to Fanghua Palace, furious. Xiao Xuanchen had originally agreed to come back to Fanghua Palace tonight, but now he was snatched away by a little dancer. How could she not be angry?

"Your Majesty, please calm down." Die Yun knelt on the ground and advised.

"The Queen clearly did this on purpose." Murong Yue shouted at the top of her voice, her face flushed with anger.

Die Yun also said at this time: "From my perspective, your Majesty has always intended to do this, and the Queen is just going along with it."

"How is it possible? How could His Majesty fall for a little dancer?" Murong Yue didn't believe it. In her opinion, this dancer was clearly arranged by Zheng Xiyan to win her favor.

"Your Majesty, please think carefully. Didn't you realize the way His Majesty looked at Zhao Cainv tonight in Hanguang Palace? It was obvious that His Majesty fell in love with her." Dieyun said carefully.

Murong Yue took a deep breath and said coldly, "The Queen is a bitch."

"Your Majesty, she's just a dancer, you really don't need to care about it." Dieyun comforted.

Murong Yue said angrily: "I just can't swallow this anger."

"This temporary palace is not the imperial palace, and it doesn't have so many rules. Your Majesty doesn't need to abide by those rules. The Queen will naturally obey Your Majesty. It only happens once a year, so why do you have to annoy His Majesty? Your Majesty, you really need to learn from the Queen in this regard, otherwise His Majesty will only think that you are jealous, which is not good for you." Die Yun advised earnestly.

"Going against His Majesty will not end well! You can't just follow His Majesty's orders like the Queen."

"Can this be considered a small matter? There are examples of dancers being favored concubines in previous dynasties." Murong Yue didn't know why, but she had a strong sense of crisis. She was unwilling to be overshadowed by a dancer.

"But Madam, a dancer with no background, even if she is favored, so what? Doesn't that mean she is not at the mercy of Madam?"

Murong Yue had no way to refute. She just couldn't suppress her anger. "You have a point."

Die Yun walked behind her, pinched her shoulders, and continued, "Don't be anxious, madam. There is still a long way to go. You are still young. It doesn't matter if you miss an opportunity. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future."

"Ah."

Chaoyundian

Zheng Xiyan sat in front of the dressing table. She found it funny when she thought of the expression on Murong Yue's face she had just seen in Hanguang Palace.

Biluo smiled and said, "Is your Majesty so happy?"

"Shouldn't I be happy?" Zheng Xiyan said with a smile.

"In fact, I don't understand. You don't have to follow His Majesty's wishes." Biluo felt that if she rashly promoted a dancer, the Empress Dowager would be angry when she returned to the palace.

Zheng Xiyan smiled and said, "Do you think His Majesty came to this palace for the autumn hunt?"

"Isn't it?" Biluo asked back.

"The imperial palace has strict rules, which bind the women in the harem and also His Majesty. But the temporary palace is different. Compared with the imperial palace, there are not so many rules in the temporary palace. Emperors in history have always looked forward to visiting the temporary palace." Zheng Xiyan smiled meaningfully. In her previous life, Xiao Xuanchen had often done whatever he wanted in the temporary palace under the pretext of hunting.

"At least I don't have to go to the morning court every day." Zheng Xiyan smiled sarcastically.

"So, Your Majesty also wants to help His Majesty?"

"It's not that I'm trying to fulfill his wish. There's no harm in me following his wishes, so why not do it? Besides, the dancer should thank me. Maybe I can use her in the future." Zheng Xiyan's expression became more and more gloomy. It's not easy to control a little dancer.

"I understand." Biluo said in a deep voice.

"But I'm afraid that many people won't be able to sleep tonight." Zheng Xiyan rubbed her eyebrows. She was indeed tired after sitting in the carriage for such a long time.

"That's right." Biluo said with a smile.
