Concubine's Survival Handbook

Chapter 271 Yang Qin's Determination

In the main hall, the dresses of the dancers are fluttering, and the sound of silk and bamboo is ringing around your ears.

The emperor casually held the wine glass and drank.His eyes swept over the other people in the hall, but when he passed by a woman, the emperor stopped drinking.

The woman's smile was like a flower. Although her face no longer had the youthful aura of her youth, it was still the same, bright and moving.

Concubine Lu was concentrating on watching the dancer dance, when she suddenly noticed a burning gaze resting on her body, she looked over quietly, it was the person sitting on the high hall.

Concubine Lu didn't respond either, she just glanced at the emperor lightly, and then turned her attention to the dancer.

The emperor drank the wine in the wine glass in one gulp, his eyes darkened.

Sitting next to her, the empress noticed the abnormality of the emperor, and followed the emperor's gaze, but she didn't see anything.The princes, ministers and female relatives all concentrated on appreciating the dance.

"Your majesty, what's the matter? Could it be that this dance is not good-looking?" The empress said to the emperor softly, her tone gentle.

The emperor withdrew his gaze, "I'm just a little tired."

The maid behind her was going to pour wine into the emperor's wine glass, but was stopped by the empress.

"Your Majesty, you've already drank a lot tonight, so you can't drink too much." The empress persuaded softly.

The emperor looked at the empty wine glass, but didn't insist, and responded lightly, "Just listen to the queen."

The empress smiled, and signaled the palace maid to take the jug away with her eyes.Seeing that the emperor did not say a word, the maid retreated.

The princes and ministers in the hall were all absorbed in enjoying the dance, and did not notice the actions of the emperor and empress on the high platform.

Of course, not all people will concentrate on appreciating the dance, and Yang Qin is among them.

Yang Qin dressed up carefully for the palace banquet today, but she couldn't say a word to Yun Heng, and she was very angry at the moment.

Although I usually play better, the young ladies all looked at me with envy, and praised me for being beautiful today.But these were not what Yun Heng praised himself for.

Yang Qin came here very early today in order to have a conversation with Yun Heng.But as soon as she came in, she saw Jing Ning in a pale pink dress, and Lan Yao and the others beside her.

Yang Qin felt dissatisfied that she was not as good at dressing up as Zheng Bo today.She originally wanted to go up to trouble Jing Ning, but before she could make a move, she saw the man she had been thinking about walking slowly.

Seeing Yun Heng's joy, Yang Qin subconsciously thought about it, but found that Yun Heng walked to Xiao Lin's side and seemed to be talking about something.The eyes of the two glanced at Zheng Jingning from time to time.Anyone with a discerning eye could tell at a glance that their chat was about Zheng Jingning.

If it was just dissatisfaction in Yang Qin's heart, now it is jealousy and resentment towards Jing Ning.

Zheng Jingning and Xiao Lin have a marriage contract, but they have no clear relationship with the third prince Zhao Ying, and now they are using those coquettish kung fu on Yun Heng whom he likes.

Thinking of this in her heart, Yang Qin began to gnash her teeth with a distorted expression.The young ladies standing next to her felt a little scary, but they didn't dare to leave.Because the daughters who have a good relationship with Yang Qin are all people whose father is not as high as the imperial doctor, and more than half of the reasons for the friendship with Yang Qin are also instigated by his father.So although they sometimes feel dissatisfied with Yang Qin, they dare not speak up in person.

"Sister Qin, what's the matter with you?" A young lady who was more courageous couldn't help asking.

Yang Qin realized that she had lost her composure after hearing the voices around her, so she sorted out her emotions and said, "It's okay."

Some smart women found that the direction Yang Qin was looking at was the direction of the lady of the prime minister's mansion, and they knew very well that Yang Qin did this because of Zheng Jingning.

After the banquet started, Yang Qin was sitting face to face with Yun Heng, which made Yang Qin's mood suddenly turn cloudy, but she was not happy for a long time, because Yun Heng was unhappy.

Yang Qin has been paying attention to Yun Heng, and naturally noticed Yun Heng's emotional changes.

Yang Qin suddenly felt that she was very pitiful, she was very jealous of Zheng Jingning.On the one hand, it is because Jingning has a group of good friends who accompany her. No matter what happens to Zheng Jingning, Lan Yao and others are always behind her.But she, Yang Qin, didn't.

Although Yang Qin did not think too much and was not cautious, she was not stupid either.So she also knew that none of the daughters around her really treated her well.It's all because his father is a doctor of imperial history who bothered to please his own group of people.

On the other hand, it was because Jing Ning had someone who really liked her.Young Master Xiao of the General's Mansion, His Royal Highness the Third Prince, and Yun Heng, who he likes.They all like Jingning.Perhaps the third prince Zhao Ying paid special attention to Jing Ning because of the prime minister's mansion behind Jing Ning, but Zheng Jingning is so beautiful and his family is very powerful, maybe it was because of other reasons at first, but look at the reaction of the third prince , must have been tempted by Zheng Jingning.

A flash of envy flashed in Yang Qin's eyes. She really envied Zheng Jingning. Zheng Jingning won the love of so many people without doing anything.But what about her?Yang Qin lowered her eyes, her father was just a doctor censor, and his official position was under the prime minister.She is not pretty, although she has a bit of beauty, but in fact she knows in her heart that she is not as good as Zheng Jingning.

Across the ethereal dancing postures of those dancers is Yun Heng's handsome face.Yang Qin stared blankly, her eyes were full of that person's appearance, but Yun Heng's eyes were always on Zheng Jingning's body, not even the slightest bit on Yang Qin's body.

Yang Qin's gaze gradually became firm, she must have what Zheng Jingning has!Zheng Jingning can possess these without any effort, so he can take them away, take them back!
There was a glint in her eyes, she told her father about Chen Zhi and Lan Yao, and then Lan Yao went back to her hometown, and finally Chen Zhi also left Zhao Guo, and now the two of them can never see each other again.

This is what he did.Now that Chen Zhi is gone, even though Lan Yao didn't show it on the surface, she must be very sad in her heart. Isn't Zheng Jingning also on good terms with Chen Zhi?Now she must be as sad as Lan Yao.

Yang Qin subconsciously looked at Jing Ning, separated by a few people, couldn't see Jing Ning's expression clearly, only saw Jing Ning sitting there absent-minded.

After a song, the emperor held back his yawn and said "Reward!" with a blank expression.

The dancers knelt down to thank the Lord for their kindness, and then retreated one by one after receiving the reward.

The duration of the palace banquet is not very long, but it just feels a little boring, so there is a feeling that days are like years.

Jing Ning's palace banquet was actually not that difficult. At the beginning, he might have felt a sense of disappointment towards the palace banquet, but he didn't expect that every year the palace banquet would be like this, without any creativity.
