Return after the poison of rebirth

Chapter 9
The carriage stopped at the gate of the imperial palace, goodbye after a lifetime, the simple and unsophisticated gate of the imperial palace revealed a familiar and vicissitudes of life.

She once stood here and was conferred the title of empress to accept the worship of all the officials. She was also imprisoned in a prison car and escorted out of the palace from here, where she was scolded by the people all over the world.

Liu Yunxi who was standing behind was also looking at the palace gate, her face was full of anticipation, one day she would live here and accept the admiration of the world.

The two sisters walked into the palace with different expressions.

The queen mother's birthday is celebrated everywhere.The palace was decorated with lanterns and festoons, so it was very lively.

After all the people arrived, the Holy Majesty walked out with the Queen Mother, and the two of them sat upright in the court hall.

Today's empress dowager, with phoenix clothes and snow hair, holds a pure gold walking stick carved with dragons in her hand.The whole body's style is not inferior to the emperor's son beside him.

"I wish my mother a long and boundless life, as long as the sky!" Emperor Yuxuan took the jade cup and drank the fine wine in his cup.

The ministers who were seated also toasted and congratulated: "The ministers also wish the Empress Dowager a long life without bounds, and live as long as the sky!"

"Okay, okay!" The empress dowager smiled happily on her old, shrewd face, and took a sip from the jade cup in front of her.

It's just that what's in the jade cup is not wine, but clear tea brewed with thousand-year-old ginseng.

"Everyone, you don't have to be restrained, let's start the banquet!" The empress dowager gave an order, and dozens of maids filed in, carrying all kinds of dishes in their hands, and began to prepare dishes in front of the ministers.

The Empress Dowager's sharp eyes turned around in the hall, and finally fell on a pair of daughters of the Liu family.

Two girls, one in purple and the other in pink, talked and laughed together, like two lotus flowers blooming side by side, each with its own merits.

After taking a closer look at the two daughters, the queen mother withdrew her gaze and sighed.

These two children look pretty good, but they come from a humble background. What kind of talents can a daughter trained by the door have?Pointing to her grandson, he was also afraid that he would not be able to control the backyard and hold the stage.

"Let's play music! The Ai family hasn't seen the singing and dancing in the palace for a long time!" The empress dowager stroked her forehead. Except for the eldest prince, the other four grandsons were not married yet.

On the surface, this birthday banquet was to celebrate her birthday, but secretly it was to choose wives for the four grandchildren.

How could Emperor Yuxuan beside him not understand the thoughts in his mother's heart, and said along the way: "It's boring to watch songs and dances every year. This year, it's better to let the noble daughters of Aiqing's family perform a performance, so that I can also open my eyes!"

Although the noble ladies had received the news a long time ago, they inevitably looked at each other. The eagerness in their eyes was in stark contrast to the shy and delicate expression on their faces.

The eyes that wanted to refuse but still greeted raised up and turned around the five princes before stopping at the empty seat behind.The King of Nanling was not present, and according to the rumors, Mu Xue's man, for example, did not show up.

The aristocratic ladies who had been beaten like chicken blood lost half of their momentum.

Seeing this scene, Liu Yunjin just wanted to laugh, these noble girls didn't want to marry the prince to be the imperial concubine, but they actually wanted to marry a short-lived man with great achievements.

She had never seen this famous man in her previous life, but she only knew that he assisted Emperor Yuxuan to ascend the dragon chair and was named King of Nanling.He led [-] elite soldiers to repel the [-] troops of Nanzhao Kingdom, and became a tyrant in the south.Let Emperor Yuxuan feel like a stick in his throat, but he dare not disrespect him.

This person later married a princess of the Nanzhao Kingdom, who was also a fairy-like person. It was rumored in the world that they were a pair of fairy couples.

But what about the final outcome?A legendary man died at the hands of his beloved wife. After the princess of Nanzhao killed King Nanling, she was secretly brought into the harem by Emperor Yuxuan.

Therefore, the four most ridiculous words in the world are "deep love without regret". The deeper the love, the more blind the person will be.

"Sister, what are you laughing at?" Liu Yunxi couldn't help asking softly.

Secretly, Liu Yunxi frowned, thinking in disgust, did this little bitch come up with some tricks to deal with her?
Liu Yunjin shook his head, "It's just funny looking at these noble girls."

"What's so funny about them? Is my sister laughing at them for being greedy for wealth, or for dreaming of their dreams?" Liu Yunxi leaned over and asked in a voice that could only be heard by two people.

If Liu Yunjin really thought so, she would be right, she used to be proud, she thought that she could be equal to the prime minister's daughter.In the past, I had figured out her arrogant character, and I often let her stumble on it.

Thinking about it, Liu Yunxi still felt a little relieved.

Looking at Fu Rong's face approaching, Liu Yunjin suddenly felt a little disgusted, she didn't understand how the more vicious people are, the more charming they are.

Seeing that Liu Yunjin didn't speak, Liu Yunxi snorted unhappily.

Now the little bitch's cautious personality is difficult to deal with, but she has a lot of ways to let Liu Yunjin show her feet. She doesn't believe that a person's usual personality can change so easily.

Someone must have pointed Liu Yunjin, if she was allowed to catch this person... Liu Yunxi's beautiful face suddenly became ferocious.

The noble ladies went up one by one to show off their talents. Don't watch the effort on the stage for a while, I don't know how much thought and time they spent in private!They hoped to fall into the eyes of the empress dowager, marry the prince, and make the whole family proud of them.

The empress dowager was cheerful on the surface, but she was disappointed in her heart.

She took a closer look, and found that these noble ladies were either poor in appearance, or lacking in strengths and mediocre.

Her five royal grandsons are five golden bumps, and they must not be wronged.

In the blink of an eye, it was the turn of the noble daughter of the Liu family to perform. Liu Yunxi was already impatient. Although she was a modern person who was used to seeing big scenes, her palms were sweating coldly.Not because of nervousness, but because of excitement.

She can finally stand out in front of the empress dowager and pave the way for her ambition.She not only wants to be a queen, but also wants to be Wu Zetian of this era.

"Sister, hurry up and get the piano, and remember not to play it wrong. If you make a fool of yourself in front of the empress dowager and offend Longyan, you will be beheaded!" Liu Yunxi said threateningly with her face downcast.

"When the time comes, our Liu family might all be implicated because of you!" She put on an air of being a concubine.

The He family next to him said: "Listen to what your sister said! Know the general idea! If you make Yunxi ugly today, I will go back and pick your skin off!"

Liu Shicheng also nodded, "Yunjin, today's matter is related to the future of our Liu family, you must be of one mind with your sister."

Liu Yunjin suppressed the disdain in her heart, and assured her earnestly: "Mother, don't worry, father, my daughter will never make mistakes after practicing this song for a long time."

He's expression of disbelief, she knows that Liu Yunjin's character has always been higher than the sky.I'm afraid they will play tricks behind the scenes to steal Yunxi's limelight.

Liu Yunxi thought the same way, she said that because she wanted to beat Liu Yunjin so that she would not dare to play tricks in front of the Queen Mother.

"Remember! If you dare..." Before He could finish his stern words, he was interrupted by the palace servants who came over.

"Is the noble lady of the Liu family here? If she doesn't perform on stage again, she will be disqualified!" the eunuch said impatiently with a high-pitched voice.

Liu Yunxi smiled, took off the jade bracelet from her wrist, and handed it to her father-in-law.

"The two sisters had a conversation just now, and made adults wait anxiously..."

The eunuch weighed the jade bracelet in his hand, and didn't say much else, "Hurry up! Empress Dowager, the emperor is waiting!"

Liu Yunxi hurried to the center of the hall. After the eunuch made such a fuss just now, she became a little flustered. She always felt that things today would not be as smooth as she imagined.

Behind the curtain, Liu Yunjin was seated gracefully, stroking the Jiaoweiqin with her slender fingers.

With a flick of Su's hand, a string of crisp notes fell like water.

To the sound of the piano, Liu Yunxi danced slowly.Before crossing, she liked peacock dance very much. This time, she perfectly combined peacock dance and classical dance, and she showed off the beauty and arrogance of peacock to the fullest.

The Empress Dowager enjoyed watching it very much. The girls in the palace looked extremely graceful when they were still or moving.

"This dance step is quite new, it looks like a bird, does Fushun's dance have a name?" the Empress Dowager asked with satisfaction, and she didn't take her eyes off Liu Yunxi when she spoke.

The eunuch serving nearby hurriedly reported: "I heard that this dance song is called "Hundred Birds Facing the Phoenix"."

"Hundred birds chasing the phoenix?" The queen mother nodded thoughtfully, "He is a caring child, not like he was trained by a martial artist."

Seeing this, Liu Yunxi's eyes were full of complacency, and he danced harder and harder.Seeing the smile on the empress dowager's lips, Mrs. He, who was sitting below, pierced the ears of the wives around her with a sharp voice, "Did you see it, my lord? The queen mother smiled with satisfaction, she must be very satisfied with her daughter's dance! I said Yun Xi is the lucky star of our Liu family, much better than some conceited concubines!"

Liu Shicheng stroked his beard and nodded slightly, "If Yunxi can really catch the eyes of the queen mother and marry him to the prince, our Liu family can be regarded as relatives of the emperor in the future!"

To be able to get married with the royal family, I don't know how many ministers in the court would be jealous of the red eyes!
Before Liu and his wife could be complacent for a long time, they were horrified to find that the face of the Empress Dowager had darkened, and even the face of Emperor Yuxuan looked gloomy and terrifying.

Liu Yunxi didn't notice this change, she was still dancing on her own, trying to fully show the softness of her body.

Bending down, the soft waist outlines a perfect arc.

I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, she was facing the direction of the five princes, watching them distractedly, and immediately remembered this stunning daughter of the Liu family.
