The black-bellied prime minister's red makeup

Chapter 130 Talent Competition
Today in the harem, the empress held a talent contest, and all the concubines who participated were the concubines with status and favor in the harem, naturally including Shen Qingnan and Concubine Ming.

The concubines in the harem include daughters of civil servants and daughters of military officials. Naturally, there are also dancers and singers like Concubine Ning.

Everyone who participated in the competition performed the same talent, and everyone present voted, and the person with the highest vote could win the prize prepared by the queen.

Concubine Yan was the first to perform on stage. She played a Jiangnan ditty.

Concubine Rong was the second to come on stage, and she drew a landscape painting.

The third.
Concubine Ming will perform next, and today she will perform a dance.

Hearing that Concubine Ming is going to dance, many people are not very optimistic. After all, who would dare to dance with Concubine Ning?More importantly, Concubine Ming is Concubine Ning.

Concubine Ming finished her dance, Concubine Ning from the audience sneered and walked onto the stage slowly, playing music, Concubine Ning twisted her waist along with the music.

In the distance, the eunuch shouted, Xia Hanche slowly walked towards him with his hands behind his back.

All the concubines were very excited to see the emperor coming. After all, this is the first time the emperor has come to see the competition after so many years.

On the stage, Concubine Ning's dance became more and more charming. From time to time, she would wink at Xia Hanche who was in the audience, but Xia Hanche didn't look at her at all and kept staring at Shen Qingnan who was separated by a distance.

Concubine Ning finished her dance, and there were praises everywhere. She slowly walked down from the stage to Xia Hanche's side. Not far away, Shen Qingnan walked up the stage step by step with her skirt in hand.

"Your majesty, why are you here? Did the emperor like the dance my concubine just performed?"

Concubine Ning sat in Xia Hanche's arms in front of everyone. He would have smiled and hugged her tightly before, but this time he pushed her away.

"All the concubines are here, Concubine Ning should sit down in her seat."

"But the emperor."

"I asked you to sit on the seat." Without anger but with shock, Concubine Ning shook her body in fright and obediently sat on the chair.

On the stage, Shen Qingnan quietly inscribed poems on the rice paper. After being a prime minister for many years, all she could do was literary talent.

After the poem was finished, the rice paper was picked up by the maid beside her and displayed in front of the concubines.

The breeze on the top of the cliff is as cold as a screen, and the distant reeds are fluttering with fireflies.

The grass is as cool as water at night, lying down and watching the Altair Vega.

This poem describes the scene where she and Xia Hanming caught fireflies on the cliff that night and looked at the stars.

"it is good!"

With a loud shout, Xia Hanche stood up from his seat: "Concubine Chen is very talented, this poem is very well written."

When Concubine Ning was dancing, she didn't see the emperor complimenting Concubine Chen's poem. It seems that Concubine Chen is the one whom the emperor loves the most.

The game continued, because the political emperor left the harem just after watching Concubine Chen's performance, but something happened just after he left the game scene.

When Cheng Jieyu performed the sword dance, the sword in her hand accidentally flew out of her hand, and the sword stabbed straight in Shen Qingnan's direction. In the end, Concubine Ming pushed Shen Qingnan away in time to save her from being injured, but Concubine Ming's arm was stabbed by the sword.

In Concubine Ming's Palace, the imperial doctor was applying medicine to Concubine Ming, not far away, all the concubines including the empress were waiting there anxiously.

Originally, Xia Hanche was dealing with matters, but when he heard about this, he hurried to the Concubine Ming's Palace.

Anxiously walking into the room quickly, regardless of other things, she came to Shen Qingnan, looked at her from top to bottom to see if she was injured: "Nan'er, are you okay, where are you hurt?"

Concubine Ming was the one who was injured, but the emperor was the first to worry about Concubine Chen, which made the concubines who witnessed everything present, especially Concubine Ning, hate Shen Qingnan to the core.

"Your Majesty, the concubine is fine, but Concubine Ming was injured to save the concubine."

Looking at the pale concubine Xia Hanche on the bed, she asked the imperial physician:
"How is Concubine Ming's injury?"

"Going back to the emperor, the empress is only injured on the flesh, and she will recover after a few days of rest."

"That's good"

Suddenly, with his hands behind his back, Xia Hanche asked all the concubines present angrily, "Who hurt Concubine Ming, stand up for me?"

"Your Majesty, the concubine didn't do it on purpose, I hope the Emperor will make amends."

Cheng Jieyu knelt on the ground in a panic, begging and kowtow.

However, this didn't seem to calm down Xia Hanche's anger. Fortunately, Concubine Ming blocked him. If it was the injured Nan'er, he wouldn't even dare to think about it.

"Come here, throw Cheng Jieyu into the cold palace and never see the light of day."

"Your Majesty, atonement, Your Majesty, my concubines really don't have any intentions."

Cheng Jieyu kept kowtowing and begging, even though her head was broken, Xia Hanche was not moved at all.

The queen on the side couldn't bear to stand up and said: "Your Majesty, I hope that the Emperor will open the Internet, Cheng Jieyu really didn't mean it."

"Wuxin? She hurt Concubine Ming unintentionally this time, if she hurts Concubine Ming next time." Shen Qingnan Xia Hanche looked aside and continued: "I can't allow this kind of thing to happen again, drag it down and put you in the cold palace."

Everyone didn't expect that the emperor would stop listening to the queen's words. Seeing that she was about to be dragged down, Cheng Jieyu suddenly climbed up to Shen Qingnan and kowtowed and begged: "Chen Concubine, I beg you to help my sister beg the emperor, my sister!" Is it really intentional, my sister just slipped her hand at that time, please help my sister."

Shen Qingnan knew why Xia Hanche was so angry, but if she begged for mercy, the emperor who didn't listen to the queen's request but agreed to her request, what would the heavy concubine think? She couldn't bear Cheng Jieyu.

Shen Qingnan hesitated all this time without opening his mouth, and the servants stopped waiting and dragged Cheng Jieyu to the cold palace.

night,

If the former Shen Qingnan would definitely not mind any nosy business, but now she is different, her heart is no longer so cold after recovering her daughter's body, she can't bear to ignore such things.

Putting down the chopsticks, she knelt down and begged Xia Hanche who was eating: "Your Majesty, I have something to ask you."

"What's the matter? Get up, get up and say it" Xia Hanche helped her up and asked, "What does Nan'er want from me?"

"Your Majesty, today Cheng Jieyu is really unintentional, and I hope that the Emperor will show mercy and release Cheng Jieyu from the cold palace."

"Are you pleading for her?"

"Yes"

"Why didn't you say it then?"

"Concubine can't"

"At that time, the empress begged and the emperor didn't agree, so the concubine was afraid."

"Raise your eyebrows and ask:" Afraid that I won't agree to you? "

"No, I'm afraid that the emperor agreed to the concubine, and the empress pleaded for mercy and the emperor didn't agree but agreed to the concubine. The important concubine will definitely think about it."

"Really?" Laughing, Xia Hanche approached her, and raised her chin with his finger: "Then do you think I will agree to you now?"

"The concubine doesn't know, but the concubine knows that the emperor's answer or not is your business, and whether the concubine asks or not is the concubine's business. The concubine just wants to make peace of mind."

"I just want to make my heart feel at ease." Withdrawing his hand and doing it well, Xia Hanche touched his chin and said suddenly: "I can promise you, but you have to promise me one condition."

"Please speak, Your Majesty"

"In a few days, I'm going to visit you privately, you can go with me"

"Weifu private visit?"

So she can go out?Then she has a chance to escape to find Han Ming?
Nod: "OK"
