The Proud Prince and the Arrogant Princess

Xue Shaoli took it and opened the bag to see a black porcelain bottle rolling out.

"Be careful!" Liu Xu caught it and gave it to Xue Shaoli.

Xue Shaoli picked up the bottle and carefully removed the cap. She was about to sniff it, but after some thought, she suddenly handed it to Liu Xu: "Smell it."

"Yes, miss." Liu Xu brought the bottle close to her nose, took a deep breath, lowered her head and seemed to be carefully savoring the taste.

"Miss, what is the liquid in this bottle? Colourless, tasteless, and airless …" Before Liu Xu finished her sentence, she felt dizzy and her face turned red. He saw her scratching her head and twisting her body.

Xue Shaoli gave him a hint with his eyes, and the maidservant quickly took a basin of water and sprinkled it on Liu Xu's face. It took her a while before she came to her senses.

"Miss, I …"

Xue Shaoli waved her hand and a sinister smile appeared on her face. "I didn't expect the effects of this medicine to be so obvious. Just a sniff and it'll have such an effect. What do you think would happen if I drank a little?"

"The effect is extraordinary." After saying that, the two of them looked at each other and smiled.

The next day, Xue Ruyun and Xue Shaoli were driven into the palace by palanquins early in the morning. From afar, he saw a proud and aloof gaze staring straight at Xue Ruoyun who had entered the palanquin. He suddenly gripped his sword tightly, exuding a murderous aura.

On the other side, née Zhao and Xue Lianqing were gnashing their teeth in hatred as they helplessly watched Xue Ruyun enter the palace. Yet, the thing that they had begged for was easily obtained by Xue Ruoyun. Xue Lianshu thought back to a few days ago. He had begged the crown prince bitterly, hoping to enter the palace. The empress dowager and empress dowager were to add the names to the list as they saw fit. The Crown Prince had no right to speak.

This Xue Shaoli was the daughter-in-law that the imperial family had pointed out, and this Xue Ruoyun was a summons from the emperor. Only Xue Lian's painting, nameless and flawless, was disturbed by the rumors that had framed his eldest sister some time ago. It was impossible for him to enter the palace this time.

Mu Zheng was very happy to see Xue Ruyun here, but the palace banquet was unusual. Everyone from the Royal Clan was there. Therefore, Mu Zheng had to wait for the court banquet to be over before he could be alone with her.

At the palace banquet, everyone exchanged toasts and drank wine, it was very lively. When the concubines saw that Xue Muyun had arrived, they were very displeased, but when they recalled that she was personally called over by the Emperor, they didn't dare to do anything to her. However, she deliberately arranged for Xue Ruyun to sit alone in one corner, letting her suffer from the cold.

Xue Ruyun had never liked this sort of scene to begin with. Right now, he was arranged to sit in a corner. There was no social interaction, just like her. As a result, she only drank wine by herself. Even though her concubines winked at her and intentionally flaunted her position, it did not attract the slightest bit of her interest.

However, there were people who were timid, so naturally, there were some who were bold. He had brought her to the palace with great difficulty, so how could he let go of this opportunity to humiliate her on his own territory? Princess Changle lightly bit down on a piece of dessert before raising her voice and grumbling, "It's all because of these singers' performances this year. I'm tired of watching them."

She knew that she had always relied on the Empress Dowager's preference, her arrogant words, and her domineering attitude. Although all the palace ladies looked down on her as a princess, they had to take the empress dowager into consideration as well. Thus, they didn't bother with her, only treating it as though she was deaf and continued to eat the wine.

When the empress dowager saw that no one was making fun of her, she had to at least give her some face. "What do you think, son?"

"Reporting to mother, all year round I have watched these palace maids dance. I think that everyone must be tired of watching more than just me. How about we visit some new ones this year and watch them dance?" Changle suddenly said.

"You actually have some strange ideas? How could these palace maids know how to brandish their swords? Aren't you trying to make things difficult for them?" The empress dowager wiped her mouth, tapped her forehead, and rebuked.

"I don't know how, but we can find someone to dance with." The moment she said those words, everyone present, those who were smart, understood what she meant. Back then, she had been unable to tease Xue Ruyun, and instead made him easily fly up to the treetops. He had taken the handkerchief, and had even asked the Emperor to reprimand him. She did not forget that in the name of the palace banquet, she definitely wanted to let Xue Ruoyun display his abilities in front of the crowd and become their target of entertainment.

"Where can we find him?" Unknowingly, the Empress Dowager had been led away by Chaney.

"Your son has heard that this Xue Li Yun from Xue Xiang Manor has some skill and skill." Chang Le pointed in the direction of Xue Luoyun, finally revealing his purpose.

The Empress Dowager looked displeased when she heard Chang Le's words. "What kind of martial arts does a girl learn? If she doesn't learn well, she'll be a laughingstock in the future."

Using the empress dowager's words, Xue Ruoyun was ruthlessly humiliated, but he could only endure it.

Following the direction of Chang Le's finger, everyone finally discovered the seated Xue Luoyun. He saw that she was wearing a plain long skirt that covered her chest. Her jacket was covered with a blue gown of smoky yarn, and on it was embroidered a pure white and elegant lily flower. Her black hair was tied behind her ears with a green tasseled tube, hanging down to her waist. Her skin was as white as cream, and her cheeks were slightly red. Although her appearance was pretty and delicate, it couldn't conceal her beauty. Slender body, graceful body, dignified and virtuous, magnificent. As he raised his head, his eyes were filled with spirit and freshness. Every frown and smile was captivating.

Everyone present was stunned. Looking at the crown prince, the emperor and the various princes, they were all mesmerized.

"That sister is so beautiful." The little princess, who thought that she was innocent, clapped her hands as she spoke. Hearing this tender voice, everyone felt as if they had just awoken from a dream, and couldn't move their eyes away anymore.

Seeing how the crowd looked as if they had taken in their souls, the ladies were even more dissatisfied. Which woman would admit that others were prettier than them? Now that they saw the princess stepping forward, they had to seize this opportunity. Yu Le Jun was one of them.

She stood up and bowed towards the emperor, her red lips parted slightly. "Your majesty, what this Princess Changle says isn't unreasonable. Chenqie and the rest are shallow, and stay in the palace all day long to watch these female dancers. They're very vexed. Why don't we make an exception today and have a sword dance to broaden our horizons?" Yu Leyan had always been good at observing people's expressions and expressions. Thus, she only mentioned the sword dance and didn't mention Xue Ruyun's name. She didn't cause the Emperor to be displeased.

When the other consorts heard this, they all rushed to beg for it.

"If that's the case, then it's impossible to disobey everyone's wishes. Today, I'll make an exception. I'll invite some warriors to perform a sword dance, and show you what a man from the Western Paradise looks like." Mu Zheng thought that today was the afternoon, and seeing everyone so excited, he couldn't refuse. He also couldn't let Xue Ruyun down, so he could only make arrangements like this.

"Your Majesty," the Empress coughed, stood up and said, "I'm afraid it would be inappropriate to call the warriors over. Apart from the princes and princesses, one of the warriors present here was vulgar and vulgar, afraid of scaring the princes and princesses. The other people on scene are all female servants and concubines. It is inappropriate for men from outside to come here. " The empress had thought it through, and her words were not without reason. She had not only considered the etiquette of the entire palace, but had also protected the emperor's intentions.
