In previous years, the flower-viewing garden parties were hosted by female officials of the imperial court, and after the sacrifice, there would be a gathering with performances.

Occasionally, the emperor and empress would come to participate in the flower-viewing garden party, and they would be notified and prepared in advance. A situation like today has never happened.

The sacrifice was over and the emperor suddenly appeared on the scene.

"Stand up, stand up! Hahahaha..."

Emperor Hui seemed to be in a very happy mood and looked at the people kneeling on the ground.

"I just came over suddenly today to take a look. Are you all happy to see me? Hahaha..."

Everyone knelt on the ground and exchanged glances secretly.

How can I explain this? I can't say that I'm unhappy to see the emperor.

"Is the ceremony over? I came at the perfect time. This ceremony is complicated and you are tired. It's a good time to relax now."

Emperor Hui happily sat in the main seat.

Zhao Huayin stood up and saw King Xuan who was accompanying Emperor Hui.

"Father, now is the time for all the young ladies to show their talents. Father is usually busy with government affairs, so it's a good opportunity for you to relax now."

"Yes, yes. I am usually very busy with government affairs, so today is a good time to relax."

As soon as Emperor Hui said this, many people changed their expressions quietly. If the old prime minister heard this, I wonder what he would think.

But no one dared to disobey Emperor Hui's words. Everyone sat down according to the previous seating arrangement, and the young ladies who were originally preparing to perform became a little shy.

But after all, it is a performance in front of the emperor. If you perform well, it is not impossible to rise to a high position.

Many of the ladies probably regretted not preparing any talents, and some might be regretting that their clothes today were not gorgeous enough.

After waiting for a long while, a slender figure finally walked forward.

"The daughter of Xizhou, Zhou Ling, is willing to dance for your majesty."

It turned out to be the girl who had just had a conflict with the fifth girl of the Han family.

Xizhou is remote and has never been a prosperous place. The daughter of Xizhou's leader was not of high birth, so it was no wonder that she lowered her head and looked submissive in front of the girl from the Han family.

Those who had different thoughts just now looked over when they saw Zhong Ling walk to the center of the stage and start dancing.

Zhao Huayin secretly looked up at Emperor Hui who was sitting on the throne.

Emperor Hui seemed to have been attracted by the dance in the venue, and he stared at the dancing Zhou Ling intently.

King Xuan stayed beside Emperor Hui, whispering something in his ear from time to time.

Emperor Hui was very happy and delighted.

Zhao Huayin felt vaguely uneasy.

"it is good!"

When Zhou Ling finished her dance, Emperor Hui was delighted and laughed out loud, clapping his hands.

Zhou Ling's dance was not as weak as her appearance, but rather revealed a heroic spirit.

Many ladies who had just been there to watch the fun danced along with Zhou Ling and looked at her with admiration.

"Reward! A generous reward to Miss Zhong! What reward do you want?"

"His Majesty!"

Zhou Ling knelt down and kowtowed, saying to Emperor Hui,

"I would like to ask Your Majesty to give me a dress."

Emperor Hui waved his hand carelessly.

"It's natural for a little girl to like beautiful clothes. What kind of clothes do you want? I'll order the weaving department to make them for you!"

"I am not asking for this for myself. I just accidentally damaged Miss Han's clothes. Miss Han said that I cannot afford the fabric for her clothes in my lifetime. I can only ask Your Majesty to reward me so that I can compensate Miss Han."

"Ok?"

Emperor Hui frowned.

"Which young lady is so impressive?"

Emperor Hui was somewhat displeased and looked up at everyone.

Seeing that everyone around was staring at her, Emperor Hui also looked over here, and the fifth young lady of the Han family turned pale with fright.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. It was just a misunderstanding between me and Miss Zhou."

"It's really a misunderstanding, let's just leave it at that."

After that, he no longer looked at her, and said to Zhou Ling in a gentle voice,

"It's all a small matter. Get up and sit next to me."

Emperor Hui's eyes seemed to be fixed on Zhou Ling.

The fifth young lady of the Han family stood up tremblingly and glared at Zhou Ling angrily.

Zhou Ling looked a little frail, but her eyes were determined.

I don't know if she had no rank or her rank was too high, but she acted like this in front of Emperor Hui, and thus created a feud with the fifth lady of the Han family.

Emperor Hui seemed to like Zhou Ling very much. He placed her by his side and talked to her from time to time.

Many ladies present felt that it was inappropriate for Emperor Hui to place an unmarried girl by his side.

But no one dared to speak out to stop Emperor Hui. Everyone thought to themselves, "It would be great if the Prime Minister were here."

Zhou Ling didn't seem to think there was anything wrong with Emperor Hui's arrangement. She sat beside Emperor Hui and watched the talents of the young ladies from various families.

To Emperor Hui, it seemed that apart from Zhou Ling's dance, there was nothing particularly outstanding. As time went on, Emperor Hui was more and more concerned with talking to Zhou Ling.

After talking to Emperor Hui for a while, Zhou Ling stood up, bowed to Emperor Hui, and walked to the back with her maid.

Seeing that Zhou Ling was finally no longer with Emperor Hui, the fifth lady of the Han family also followed with her maid.

Just now, Zhou Ling actually sued her in front of Emperor Hui. How could the fifth lady of the Han family bear this?

The talent show continued, and the plaintive piano music attracted everyone's attention.

Suddenly, a man ran in in a panic.

"Your Majesty! Kill, kill!"

Zhao Huayin looked and saw that the person kneeling on the ground was the maid who had been standing beside Zhou Ling.

"How dare you! Who dares to offend our father?"

King Xuan had already stood in front of Emperor Hui, separating the little maid.

The little maid seemed to be greatly frightened and could not even speak clearly.

"My girl, my girl is dying! Your Majesty! Please save my girl!"

As the little maid finished her words, the crowd in the garden began to stir.

"Killing! Killing!"

"What's going on over there?"

Emperor Hui looked at the noisy crowd and asked.

"Don't worry, Father. I'll go take a look."

King Xuan led his men over there, and those who were curious followed behind him to watch the fun.

After walking through the crowd, I saw the fifth daughter of the Han family standing there helplessly, holding a blood-stained hairpin in her hand.

Zhou Ling, who had been dancing not long ago, was lying on the ground, looking lifeless.

The people around King Xuan shouted at the girl from the Han family, "How dare you! His Royal Highness King Xuan is here, why don't you put down the weapon!"

The Han family girl seemed to be stung. She threw the hairpin in her hand to the ground and protested loudly.

"It's not me, it's not me..."

The people around King Xuan stepped forward, captured the man, and escorted him to Emperor Hui.

Zhou Ling was covered with a white cloth and carried out.

When Zhao Huayin saw the unconscious girl from the Han family kneeling before Emperor Hui, she became filled with doubts.

Two people just got out safely, how come someone died in an instant?

When Emperor Hui heard that Zhou Ling was dead, he stood up and kicked the girl from the Han family in the chest.

"You bastard, you dare to commit murder while I am here!"

Although the girl from the Han family was domineering, she was still a girl after all, and how could she withstand an angry kick from Emperor Hui?

She was immediately kicked to the ground, her hairpins and rings were scattered all over the floor, and her skirt was stained with dirt and blood, she looked extremely miserable.

The maid beside him secretly glanced at Emperor Hui's expression and helped the person up.

The girl from the Han family, however, looked like a rag doll that had lost its soul, lifeless.

Everyone was sighing that someone had died on such a good day, and the girl from the Han family was afraid that there was no way she would survive.

Emperor Hui was still not satisfied after kicking her, so he pointed at the girl from the Han family and yelled,

"There are people like you in the capital who defy the law! I will punish your family severely to serve as a warning to others..."

"Tom!"

Before Emperor Hui could finish his sentence, he was knocked away by the person in front of him.

It was the girl from the Han family who had just been dying who bumped into His Majesty!
