Chapter 210 Why is it difficult?
  Jing Muling had been on the battlefield for many years and soon noticed Duozha's gaze.
  He picked up the wine glass and took a big sip, taking the opportunity to adjust his sitting position and face Doza's direction.
  Doza didn't pay attention to Jing Muling, he still looked at Shen Zhuoxi intentionally or unintentionally, with a smile on his lips.
  Zhengqing also noticed this. When he leaned over to refill the wine, he whispered: "What do you mean by the heir apparent of the Rongqiang tribe? He knows that the second lady is engaged to you, but he still stares at you like this."
  "Did they not avoid suspicion when integrating the Qiang people?"
  Jing Muling narrowed her eyes slightly and didn't make any response, but her face darkened visibly.
  Zhengqing didn't dare to say anything anymore and took back his wine glass.
  Doza looked at Shen Zhuoxi for a while, but still did not see Dunzhu, who had changed his clothes, come back. He got up and went to the back of the imperial garden.
  Jing Muling turned around and gave Zhengqing a look. Zhengqing understood immediately and followed Duozha quietly.
  Dunzhu had already changed her clothes. The thought of being compared with Shen Zhuoxi, who had never learned to dance, made her not want to go back to the banquet.
  When Doza found her, she was in a corner of the royal garden, holding on to the hydrangeas that were in full bloom to vent her anger.
  The hydrangea in front of her was already bald, and a circle of petals fell beside her feet.
  "What are you doing? Have you forgotten that this is the country of Dongchen?" Doza's face changed slightly, he grabbed her hand and said, "Flowers are for the emperor and his concubines to appreciate."
  "If they find out that it was you who sabotaged it, they will definitely blame you!"
  Dunzhu pouted and her eyes were red: "We were all at the banquet. No one except you would know that I did it."
  "Okay." Doza knew that she was feeling uncomfortable and sighed: "It's just a dance. There's nothing to worry about. When we were integrating the Qiang people, wasn't your teacher a better dancer than you?"
  "Brother!" Dunzhu said dissatisfied: "Can it be the same? Shen Zhuoxi has never been exposed to sword dance, but she can do it at a glance. People say she is very talented."
  "On the contrary, she trampled on my efforts and abilities. What's even more annoying is that Jing Muling turned towards her and slapped me in the face in front of everyone!"
  Doza held her shoulders and said, "Shen Zhuoxi is Jing Muling's unmarried wife. If Jing Muling doesn't love her, why can't he still love you? Why are you angry about this?"
  "If you really like her, it won't be a big deal if you have an extra concubine, King Yu."
  "As a princess, am I committed to being his concubine?" Dunzhu grabbed another handful of hydrangeas and ground them in his hands: "Shen Zhuoxi is nothing, I don't want to succumb to her."
  The petals were like burning in her heart!
  Seeing this, Doza nodded her forehead with a smile and said: "Jing Muling, Shen Zhuoxi and I only have an engagement contract and are not married. We have plenty of opportunities. Besides, the most precious princess in our family must not lower her status." .”
  "Brother, what can I do?" Dunzhu raised his head and said, "Didn't you say before that Shen Zhuoxi has something you want? You want Shen Zhuoxi, and I want Jing Muling."
  "We brothers and sisters just work together. I just asked someone to inquire. Their wedding is in September. It's only July. There is still more than a month left, which is enough for us to take action."
  Dunzhu was shouting, and since there was no one around in the night, he didn't shy away from it at all.
  Duozha was calm, looked around, and whispered: "This is other people's territory. Even if we want to discuss, we have to wait until no one is around. Be careful that the walls have ears."
  "I understand." Dunzhu's mood improved a lot. He held Duozha's arm and said, "Brother is the best."
  Zhengqing in the dark listened to their words word for word.
  Returning to the banquet, the singing and dancing were coming to an end, and the dancers in the palace were bowing to leave.
  "Princess Dundup, you came just in time." The Queen Mother saw her coming and said with a smile: "We were just talking about the lack of singing and dancing, and lost interest. Someone just proposed to make friends with poems."
  "As a little princess of the Rongqiang tribe, you must have both political integrity and talent. How about you start?"
  Dunzup had heard about Shen Zhuoxi's ability in poetry, but after being crushed by the sword dance, he didn't dare to respond. Besides, poetry was not Dunzup's strong point.
  But with so many people watching, if he didn't agree, he would probably make everyone laugh.
  Dunzhu was in a dilemma, and Doza opened his mouth to come to the rescue and said: "Empress, my little sister can do some poetry, but she doesn't understand the rules of Dongchen Kingdom, so she is not qualified to do the first thing."
  "Yes." The Queen nodded, her eyes swept over, and stayed on Shen Zhuoxi for a moment.
  Shen Zhuoxi had already made a big splash just now. At such a big banquet, there were many rich ladies, so Shen Zhuoxi couldn't just be the one to shine.
  The queen's eyes moved away from her and turned to Wei Zhiting: "I've heard that Miss Wei is very good at writing. Can you do it?"
  Dunzhu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
  As long as it's not Shen Zhuoxi, anyone else will do.
  Shen Zhuoxi also felt a little more relaxed. One dance had already caused an uproar. If she continued to crush others in poetry, I am afraid that not only Dunzhu, but also the other ladies would hate her to the bone.
  Wei Zhiting's literary talent was good, and poetry was not a problem. He composed a poem using lotus flowers as the composition. After racking his brains, the poem he composed was still a little inferior.
  But fortunately, she didn't lose face too much because she was unfamiliar with these.
  As a princess of the Rongqiang tribe, the queen naturally gave her a step. Dunzhu's ability was revealed here, and the rest of the others became bolder and started composing poems in twos and threes.
  Originally, the dinner was just these things, nothing new. Doza and Dundup traveled a long distance, and after the poem, the emperor dismissed them and asked them to go back and rest early.
  The others also dispersed, Shen Zhuoxi deliberately slowed down, and when Jing Muling joined them, Shen Zhuoxi said softly: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the accompaniment and the gift of a good piano."
  "There is no need to say thank you between you and me." Jing Muling's iceberg-like face finally relaxed, revealing a little softness: "It's just that my eyesight is not good, so I can't catch a glimpse of your dancing."
  The two of them walked out slowly. Shen Zhuoxi saw that there was no one else around and said, "There is hope that the prince's eyes will recover. I will jump again when he is well."
  Jing Muling's smile widened, with a fondness that he didn't even realize: "Dunzhu is rude, if I dare to embarrass you again, just give it back. No matter what happens, I will support you. "
  "With what the prince says, can I do whatever I want?" Shen Zhuoxi winked mischievously, his voice also quite playful.
  Jing Muling pretended to think and said: "It can be understood this way. Judging from what happened today, Dunzhu will probably be in trouble. Anyway, you don't have to be polite."
  "That's for sure, but I have never seen these brothers and sisters. Why are they hostile to me?" Shen Zhuoxi said suspiciously: "When the prince didn't come, Princess Dunzhu asked you to accompany her."
  "Could it be that she is making things difficult for me because of my engagement with the prince?"
  Jing Muling hesitated for a moment, wondering whether she should tell Shen Zhuoxi the original plan of the Rongqiang people.
  I said that I was worried that Shen Zhuoxi would misunderstand.
  If she didn't tell her, she would be afraid of getting even more misunderstood when she found out later.
  After hesitating for a moment, Jing Muling finally spoke and said, "The Rongqiang tribe's original plan was indeed to marry Dunzhu and me."
