The emperor plays a rogue: a cute little gambling concubine

Chapter 456 Jackal Beast
The enchanting dancing posture and the agile dancing sense are very suitable for Sun Xiaoxi's taste. She stood up from her seat and applauded Yue Xiangru. Although her dancing posture was bold and unrestrained, she really danced well, so , following Sun Xiaoxi's applause, other people's applause also sounded.

Sun Xiaoxi and Lian Jing didn't know, and neither did the courtiers present, but Lian Rui and Lian Yi knew very well after seeing Yuan Yuxuan, who was dancing like Yue Xiang, that the woman in red in front of her was the No. 1 actress in Jiangnan—— Yue Xiang So also.

Yuan Yuxuan's complexion became ugly, and he couldn't help clenching his big palm on the table.

Yue Xiangru was panting slightly, standing in the middle blankly, a little at a loss, it took a long time to remember to bow to thank her, after the ceremony, she was about to turn around and leave, but she heard Sun Xiaoxi speak.

"Oh? You don't want to go."

Yue Xiangru paused, and was about to turn around slowly, but Lian Jing stretched out his hand to hold Sun Xiaoxi's hand, "Queen, don't mess around."

Sun Xiaoxi has always been used to the wind and fire, and her temper has become more and more publicized by Lian Jing these years. At this moment, she just wants to keep this little genius with a very high talent for dancing. She shook Lian Jing's hand and rushed over. Xiangru smiled friendly and asked, "Can you take off the veil? Looking at your eyebrows, you must be a little beauty."

Hearing this, Yue Xiangru cast his eyes on Lian Yi, Lian Yi met her eyes, nodded slightly, and signaled her to take it off.

"Yes, empress." Yue Xiangru saluted slowly, raising her hand to touch the veil and was about to take it off.

"Wait a minute." Yuan Yuxuan straightened up suddenly, cupped his hands and said to Lian Jing: "Father, shouldn't the reward for meritorious deeds be the last part? There are still several programs in the future."

Lian Jing nodded, then stretched out his hand to hold Sun Xiaoxi, and comforted her, "Xi'er, don't worry, if you really like this girl's dance, then I will let her come over later when the performance is rewarded, um ?”

Sun Xiaoxi nodded, that's the only way to go.

The corner of Yuan Yuxuan's mouth curled up, and his sharp eyes swept towards Yue Xiangru on the stage.

Seeing his smug smile, Yue Xiangru felt resentful in his heart, gripped the hem of the skirt with both hands, and when he was about to retreat, Lian Yi stood up at this moment.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty the Empress." Lian Yi cupped his hands and shouted respectfully.

Lian Jing and Sun Xiaoxi cast their eyes on Lian Yi and asked, "Yi'er, what's wrong?"

"I don't know if the empress still likes the dance arranged by Yi'er?" He smiled wickedly.

Sun Xiaoxi was taken aback, "So this is the surprise you just mentioned for Bengong?"

"That's right, empress." Lian Yi stepped up to the stage and stood beside Yue Xiangru, "Empress." He suddenly raised his hand and tore off Yue Xiangru's veil. Be prepared mentally, and the delicate and fair little face is presented in front of everyone.

Seeing Yue Xiangru's face, Lian Jingxi also stood up from her seat with surprise on her face, and looked up at Yuan Yuxuan's profile, his brows were full of anger.

"The daughter of the people, Yue Xiangru, see the emperor, the empress, long live the emperor, long live the emperor, and a thousand years, the queen." Yue Xiangru knelt on the stage, and the courtiers below were all talking in low voices.

Lian Yi raised the corners of his mouth and said to Sun Xiaoxi, "Yi'er knew that the empress doesn't like traditional dances, so he recruited a girl from Yue with excellent dancing skills to perform in the palace. Seeing that the empress liked it very much, Yi'er was relieved gone."

Sun Xiaoxi didn't know anything, laughed haha, and was very proud that she guessed right, Yue Xiangru's appearance was astounding, "You really are a little beauty, you dance really well, I like it very much! "

"Thank you, empress, for your compliment."

"What kind of reward do you want? As long as you tell me, I and the emperor will try their best to meet your request." Sun Xiaoxi is in a good mood today, and her behavior is not involuntary.

Yue Xiangru pursed her lips, looked up at Lian Jing and Sun Xiaoxi, "I want to do it for..."

Lian Yi suddenly lifted his foot slightly and stepped on her skirt, looked down at her sideways, as if reminding her of something.

Yue Xiangru bit her lips, remained silent for a while, and then spoke again, "Tonight I can celebrate the Empress's birthday and show my ugly face in this beautiful imperial garden. Ask for something in return."

"That's right, art can't be bought with money and other vulgar things. How about it, you are the girl from the acrobatic troupe? I want to watch people dance in the future, can I call you into the palace again?"

"The daughter of the people is..."

"Empress, to be honest, in order for the empress to see a dance to her heart's content, Yi'er has already bought Miss Xiangru. If you ask who she belongs to now, then Yi'er can answer you with certainty, She belongs to my king." Lian Yi abruptly interrupted Yue Xiangru's words, and said.

Sun Xiaoxi raised her eyebrows and looked at Lian Yi. She seemed to be able to see the ambiguous atmosphere between the two of them. She laughed haha ​​and didn't talk about them, but said: "Okay, then I will watch the dance from now on, Yi Er You bring Miss Xiangru into the palace."

"Yi'er obeys." Lian Yi cupped his hands and replied respectfully.

Yuan Yuxuan saw all this in his eyes. He thought that no matter how much Lian Yi protected this woman, he would not dare to openly fight against him, but he was wrong. He not only wanted to fight against himself, but also brought people to the emperor and queen's house. In front of him, he didn't take his elder brother seriously at all!

Yuan Yuxuan's body exuded strong anger, Lian Jingxi was a little worried about him, and reached out to shake his hand, a touch of softness in the palm of his hand pulled him back to reality, and he looked sideways at her.

She asked, "Yuxuan, what's wrong with you?"

Of course, Yuan Yuxuan didn't want to make Lian Jingxi worry, so he raised the corners of his mouth slightly at her, and said, "It's okay, let's sit down first." After speaking, he helped him to sit down.

Lian Jingxi breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he would dismantle Xiangru's identity on the spot. If that was the case, with the protection of her father and mother, they would definitely drive Xiangru out of Liandu City, but she I don't want to embarrass Xiangning's sister.

Lian Yi led Yue Xiangru back, instead of letting her go backstage, he led her to sit beside him.

The banquet continued, and the performances remained the same. The subsequent performances were not satisfactory, and Sun Xiaoxi was still very satisfied with some acrobatic performances.

Yuan Yuxuan glanced coldly towards Lian Yi, such a cold and sharp gaze, Lian Yi couldn't ignore it even if he wanted to.

He turned his face sideways and whispered in Yue Xiangru's ear, and breathed lightly into her ear, she couldn't help shrinking, he held her hand, not allowing her to shrink back.

"My lord, leave for a moment, and you, don't walk around casually. This place is full of wolves and beasts. If you are not careful, you will be gone forever." He threatened her both softly and forcefully, how dare she walk around casually?

"I see." He replied in a low voice, he smiled lightly, and then left his seat.

Seeing Lian Yi walking away, Yuan Yuxuan also confessed to Lian Jingxi and left the seat. It seems that the two brothers need to speak clearly.

Away from the bustling banquet, Lian Yi waited for Yuan Yuxuan in a pavilion by the lake. The pavilion was brightly lit, and the rippling lake surface could be clearly seen from above the pavilion.

"Why are you against me?!" Yuan Yuxuan's tone was full of questioning, he was very dissatisfied with his current behavior.

"Brother Yuan, I will never fight against you. You should be very clear about this." Lian Yi turned to look at Yuan Yuxuan who was full of hostility, and smiled lightly.

"Then how do you explain your current behavior? What is your purpose in sending her to the emperor and queen?!"

"I did send her to the emperor and queen, but she didn't say anything, did she?" Lian Yi stepped up to Yuan Yuxuan, "Brother Yuan, I told Tang Yuan that I would never Let her destroy your relationship with the princess, I will do what I say."

"But her existence is a threat to me, not to mention you still put her so close to Jingxi!"

"Then what do you want me to do? Send her away?" Lian Yi shrugged lazily, "It's a pity, it's impossible."

"Why is it impossible?" Yuan Yuxuan looked at Lian Yi with deep eyes, and the candlelight shone on Lian Yi's side face, making his face look more three-dimensional and beautiful.

"You fell in love with Yue Xiangru?" This was the only thing he could think of.

"Brother Yuan, in fact, your senses are still very keen." Lian Yi did not deny it.

Yuan Yuxuan couldn't help but sneered, "If Prince Yu and Princess Yu who are far away in the south of the Yangtze River find out that you're actually looking for the No.1 actress there, they will definitely be pissed off by you!"

Lian Yi held back the lazy smile on the corner of his mouth, and looked at him with a frown, "Brother Yuan, since when did you become so intolerant? To a woman, you are so intolerable." .”

"Because she is not a simple woman!" Yuan Yuxuan was furious, and stretched out his hand to grab his collar, "Lian Yi, let me ask you, are you really going to turn against me for her?!"

"I never thought about it that way!" Lian Yi pushed him away. He is a general, and he has been practicing martial arts under the education of his father since childhood. If he wants to fight, he may not lose to him.

"You don't like Yue Xiangru, is it because she is not a good woman or because you feel ashamed of her and don't know how to face her?!" Lian Yi sneered, "Brother Yuan, I have always admired you as a What a hero, but in this matter, I really don't think you are a man enough, if you can be more careful, how can you not see what kind of woman Yue Xiangru is?!"
