Are you afraid of the counterattack of quick transmigration!

At the banquet, the ministers put down their wine glasses one after another, held their breath, and sighed in their hearts: I don't know who can win the favor of General Meng.

"minister……"

Meng Huaiyuan lifted his robe and folded his hands, kneeling in front of the desk, his face was calm, and his eagle-like eyes revealed a confidence that he was bound to win.

Suyu's hands in his sleeves were clenched unconsciously, and the bun behind his ears was lifted by the evening wind. It was just a way to turn from the warm to the cold, and his clothes were thin. Wanting to have a face-to-face meeting with Chu Zhao, the two looked at each other invisible, speechless.

"Boom—boom——"

Among the lotus leaves in the green pool, a low-pitched drumbeat with a strong sense of murder suddenly broke the deadlock at the banquet.

The corner of Chu Zhao's mouth curled into a sneer, and he tilted his head boredly, his phoenix eyes finally shifted from Suyu's helpless face to the fine wine pouring in his hand.

Suyu breathed a sigh of relief, and in a moment, her back was drenched in cold sweat.

A gust of cool wind hit, and all the lanterns dotted between the pavilions and buildings were extinguished in an instant, the moon was covered with silver gray, the night was thick, and the tense atmosphere instantly permeated the crowd.

"what happened!"

Meng Huaiyuan's words were interrupted just like that, he was frustrated, and looked around vigilantly with a pair of eagle eyes.

"Where is the imperial army, hurry up and protect the emperor!"

Chu Zhao swept his eyebrows coldly, and the jade cup flew out of his hand quickly, hitting the back of the hand of the commander of the Imperial Forest Army with a thousand-ton force, and the sword he was about to unsheath retracted just like that.

The jade cup shattered on the ground with a crisp sound, and the suppressed commotion in the darkness was deterred by Chu Zhao's imperceptible anger.

"Everyone back down!"

"emperor!"

Meng Huaiyuan was about to dissuade him, but was interrupted by Chu Zhao.

"I said - back off!"

This was the first time the emperor had confronted Meng Huaiyuan head-on since he ascended the throne, the two of them were like a flame of war, and the imperial guards were in the middle and did not dare to move.

Seeing this, Suyu secretly made a gesture with the people behind the stage, and after a while, a series of tight and continuous drumbeats continued.

"Boom boom boom boom——"

"Boom boom boom boom——"

The lotus leaves on the lake are floating with the breeze, the water is sparkling, and the sound of drums is getting weaker. A lotus flower in front of you is shining faintly and accompanied by the sound of Xiao, floating from a distance. It is as desolate as water, sad and beautiful. When I reached out to pick it up, the delicate petals fell off one by one, until the last petal also withered, leaving only the wick in the middle, and then submerged in the water and turned into a phantom.

One, two, more and more lotus lanterns appeared in the sky, and there were more and more wicks in the pond. Some little maids couldn't help but put their hands in the water to hold the wicks, but found that the wicks were also fake. Yes, I can't help but wonder.

Chu Zhao lightly raised his eyelids and glanced at Suyu beside him, only to find that he was whispering to the little eunuch next to him. He didn't know what he said, Suyu suddenly laughed softly, although he was wearing a human/skin/mask, but Still can't hide a pair of smart eyes, shining and dazzling.

Just damn it!

"My father-in-law has a way, and I admire it, but those wicks are all fake, so how can the lotus lantern emit light?".

Suyu gave him an inscrutable look: "Some are true."

The little eunuch was shocked: "Then the father-in-law is not afraid of being found out?"

"Do you think there will be someone as stupid as you, who will pick them up one by one?" Suyu couldn't help but knocked him on the head, but suddenly felt a chill down his back, shook the goose bumps on his body, and pretended to glance at him casually. He glanced at Chu Zhao, and he was staring at the phantom in front of him, strange.

"Then eunuch, eunuch, when will the dancer appear?"

"What's the hurry, here, isn't that the one who dances sleeves in the air?"

Seeing the little eunuch tugging on her sleeve unintentionally, Suyu's back suddenly felt a little chilly, although she didn't know what happened, she pushed him away secretly and kept a certain distance away.

Don't ask him why, heh, a man's intuition.

The eunuch looked in the direction of Suyu's finger, and saw a dancing girl in the depths of the lotus leaf in the water, wearing a bright red gauze, holding a ribbon in her hand, slowly approaching, too far away to see her face, but that The naked/exposed white jade waist is enough to make people daydream.

But what is even more astonishing is that this woman hovered on the lotus leaf with one foot!In ancient times, there was Zhao Feiyan with a light figure who could do palm dance, but people only guessed and imagined in the literature, but never actually saw it. Even if there are envious imitators, they can only imitate that figure. Without that courage and desperate.

Thinking of this made him more curious about the woman in the lake.

I saw that the jade feet were dotted with emerald green, and flowers were growing every step of the way.

"Boom-thump-"

The lotus arm flung out the red silk, and the sound of drums suddenly rang in their ears. Only then did everyone realize that there were ten big drums around the small lake.

The drums are placed on both sides of the bank in an arc shape, the sound of the drum beating changes from light to heavy, from slow to urgent, and the jade feet are bouncing and bouncing with the dense drumbeats. I can see that the red silk is beating faster and faster, and the woman is tossing and bouncing. The figure is also getting faster and faster, faster and faster, the water droplets in the lake are splashed everywhere by the red silk, everyone rubbed their eyes, and when they looked again, double images even appeared!

The sound of Yue shaking the landslide and the earth collapsing in the ears continued, and everyone no longer had the mentality of admiring the dance, and when they were about to concentrate on listening to the drum, they suddenly found that the sound stopped abruptly——

And so the show ends.

The lamps were lit up again, and the banquet room was back to light. The woman in the lake came to the banquet, and everyone was shocked. There were 11 people in a row. Thinking of the dense and exciting drumming just now, they found the key.

"Who is at the table?"

Seeing Chu Zhao's question, Suyu thought it was because he was interested, but when she looked up, she saw that his expression was calm, she wasn't very surprised, she was inevitably disappointed.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live, the women of the people are the dancers of the capital dance workshop, and present a water sleeve dance to congratulate General Meng for his triumphant return to Beijing, and congratulate the emperor for his good minister. With such a wise king and such a good minister, the state of Chu will go In the future, the weather will be smooth, and the country will live in peace and prosperity!"

When the second daughter said the words, the originally lively atmosphere suddenly became dignified. It turns out that the dance is not the point, and the words in these words are the main theme of today.

Bai Jingjing recited the words verbatim according to Suyu's instructions, and knelt on the ground with all the sisters in the dance workshop in silence. Everything that should be done has been done, and life or death is only at the emperor's whim.

Chu Zhao saw that Suyu was following him nervously, with complex expressions in his eyes, and after a moment of silence, he said: "Reward."

Upon hearing this, both Suyu and Wuji heaved a sigh of relief.

"What are the rewards?"

Chu Zhao changed his tone suddenly and asked lazily.

"Folk girls don't ask for..."

"How about this, I also reward you with a favor, what do you want, tell me",

It was rare for Chu Zhao to speak so easily, and he seemed to be in a good mood.

Just now when the dancer girl said something, she beat Meng Huaiyuan on the sidelines for Chu Zhao, and indirectly gave a small warning to the courtiers present. The king is the king, and the minister is the minister. No matter how much credit you have, you are only doing things for the master. It is the heart.

The dancers looked at each other, as if discussing something secretly.

Immediately afterwards, Suyu saw those people cast shy looks at her, and almost knelt down on the spot!Aunts, I was wrong for joking during the day, I shouldn't be teasing, let alone exuding charming charm, please don't look at me!Really, saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. Have you seen the desire to survive in my eyes? !

When Chu Zhao saw the interaction between Suyu and the dancer, the smile in the corner of his eyes deepened, but the smile made people tremble more and more...

"Brother Huang, I really like these dancers, why don't I give them to my younger brother."

This was the most pleasing moment for Suyu to see Chu Rui, this kid is so handsome today!

Today's celebration banquet is unusual, Chu Rui is not stupid, and he didn't dare to bother the emperor during the dinner, but the dance just now has a profound meaning, whether it is dancing or illusion, he is very accomplished, he really can't help thinking check it out.

"The Thirteenth Prince is 12 years old now, it's time to add someone to the room",

Prime Minister Meng, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke.

Chu Rui blushed when he heard the words, and explained to Chu Zhao: "My brother didn't mean that."

Chu Zhao waved his hand to signal that he didn't need to say any more: "Rui'er is still young, we will discuss this matter later. Who recommended this program?"

Suyu replied: "Concubine Li".

Concubine Li got up gracefully and saluted, she was gentle and pleasant, she was a beauty, but at the moment she seemed to be absent-minded, her eyes were a little bit floating.

Chu Zhao looked at Suyu, then turned his gaze to Concubine Li, and said, "Concubine Li is a virtuous and intelligent concubine. Immediately make Concubine Li, and enter the Changping Palace. Those dancing girls, please watch and reward them."

"Thank you, Your Majesty",

Concubine Li wanted to speak, but she opened her mouth but couldn't say anything.

"What else is there, Concubine Li?"

If Suyu hadn't mentioned it now, Chu Zhao wouldn't have known this woman at all, and seeing her hesitate to speak now, he felt a little annoyed.

Concubine Li struggled a few times, and finally stepped forward slowly with a wine glass: "The emperor's grace is mighty, ministers, ministers, ministers and concubines... toast the emperor."

Suyu supported her forehead and whispered: "You should say a few good words before toasting, don't shake your hand holding the wine glass, hold it steady, hey, why did you spill it, hey, really..."

With such an obvious move, even a caring person can see that there is something wrong with the wine!I'm really worried for her!

Chu Zhao took the wine in her hand with great interest, twitched the edge of the glass with his fingertips, raised the corners of his eyes slightly, and looked at Suyu: "I'm too strong to drink, why don't you drink it for me."

Suyu: "..."
