Chapter 303
Since the emperor's eyes did not fall on He Jingqi, where did they fall?Is there something attractive on the opposite side of the stage?So much so that the emperor stared at him so intently.Since she just looked at the emperor, he has always had such an expression, with a little joy, but more of an infatuation.Such an expression should only appear when you see your beloved.

Could it be that the emperor is looking at his beloved woman now?A bad feeling suddenly rose in Qiu Yingling's heart, was she really right?Such an expression is not the expression of looking at the one you love, what is that?When she thought of this, she immediately turned her head and looked towards the opposite direction of the stage. There were several young ladies there.

Which young lady is the emperor looking at?She thought over and over in her heart for a long time, and finally, she thought that the emperor's favorite should probably be Jiang Shengqing's daughter Jiang Zhiru. Such a woman, among these women, is of the best appearance, and her talent is also among these women. One of the best among women.How could such a woman not win the favor of men?
Qiu Yingling thought this way in her heart, at this moment she had decided that the emperor must be looking at this beautiful and talented woman.Immediately, hatred appeared in her eyes.How did this woman win the emperor's attention, and when did she attract the emperor?She doesn't seem to have seen what this woman did before?
If this woman had anything before, then the people she sent out would definitely report to her.It's not like she didn't receive any news, right?And tonight, if the emperor hadn't focused his attention here, even she didn't think she would notice her.Although she is both talented and beautiful, and has some reputation in this capital, she has never seen this woman before.

Tonight, the reason why Qiu Yingling was able to conclude that this was a woman with some reputation in the capital was because sitting on her left were Mrs. Jiang Shengqing and Mrs. Jiang's original wife, Jiang Zhiru's biological mother, Li Yanwei and Mrs. Li, and Her younger brother Jiang Linyu, and on Jiang Zhiru's right hand side is her younger sister Jiang Zhiqin.That's why Qiu Yingling was so certain that this woman was Jiang Zhiru.Although she has never met Jiang Zhiru, she does know her younger sister Jiang Zhiqin. This girl who is on good terms with her younger sister Qiu Moyu has visited their house several times, so she remembers this lively and cheerful girl.

Speaking of Jiang Zhiru's younger brother, Jiang Linyu, she also met a few times.In the past, she also fell in love with this man, this man with an elegant temperament, full of knowledge, and a man with whom she had a few acquaintances.It's a pity, after all, it's because he and her don't have enough fate, even if they have met for a few times, so what?After all, they just met by chance.After all, she was going to enter the palace, and for the benefit of the family, she had to do so.She thought, maybe, he didn't know who she was until now.

Therefore, she knows that her guess is absolutely correct, and there are so many facts to prove it, so she can't be wrong, right?

Qiu Yingling looked at the woman, trying to find some clues on her face, but found nothing.She was very puzzled, was her guess wrong?But, it's impossible, she looked at the other women at Jiang Zhiru's table, how could the emperor like these women?

Qiu Yingling's eyes drifted here and there, but she finally felt that among those women, only Jiang Zhiru was the most likely to win the Emperor's favor.It should be her.Although she didn't show any emotion on the surface, she thought, maybe she was hiding it in her heart?Moreover, although she and the emperor should have never met before, maybe the emperor accidentally took a fancy to her tonight?Thinking of this, she felt angry in her heart.How can it not make her angry?She has stayed by the emperor's side for so long, but she has never won the emperor's attention. This woman won the emperor's favor just this once tonight. What is that?Could it be that her charm has really declined?

It's a pity that Qiu Yingling guessed wrong in the end.It's true that Nangong He's eyes fell on that table.However, he wasn't looking at Jiang Zhiru, the figure his gaze fell on was a man.Oh, no, not a man, to be precise, it should fall on the woman in men's clothing.It's just that, even though her gaze scanned all the women at the table, she still missed this 'man' who has a beautiful and easy look.

She didn't think about it anymore, and if she continued to think about it, she didn't know what she would do.At this time, she finally remembered her purpose, if she wanted to win the emperor's favor tonight, then she had to do something to win the emperor's favor.She knew very well in her heart that this woman, He Jingqi, was out of action tonight.Such a bad performance, I'm afraid it will never come into Nangong He's eyes.

So she got up. "Your Majesty, my concubine also wants to dance." Qiu Yingling looked at Nangong He, staring into his eyes so tightly that Nangong He had to look away from Shen Jiaqing's body, and glanced at her. , and then looked away again.

"Oh? Concubine Ling is also so interested? Okay, I agree with a festival like today."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Qiu Yingling said in surprise.Nangong He's pause just now made her think that she would disagree with her performance.Fortunately, after all, it is thanks to today's festival that the emperor agreed to dance with them.Otherwise, let alone He Jingqi, it would be impossible for her to dance in front of the emperor.

When the music started, Qiu Yingling was already standing on the stage in a red dress.Indeed, compared to just now
After all, He Jingqi's dancing skills and Qiu Yingling's are much better.It's just that although she is good, she still doesn't give much feeling to everyone. They just feel that her dance seems to only stay on the surface, and she doesn't express the deep meaning in it at all.Although such dancing skills are a bit better than He Jingqi's, they are still nothing more than that.

A dance is finally over.

However, Qiu Yingling did not back down, she was still standing on the stage, and as far as her eyes could see was Nan Gonghe who was above the main seat.The meaning in the eyes is very clear, even the ministers present can understand it, how could Nan Gonghe not understand it?However, he pretended not to understand, and moved his eyes elsewhere.How could it be possible for a man like Nangong He not to know what the woman on the stage was thinking in her heart, and what was the deep meaning in the expectation in her eyes?However, he couldn't give what she wanted.

Qiu Yingling stood on the stage for quite a while, but she still didn't see anything from Nangong He.Could it be that the meaning in her eyes is not clear enough?how can that be possible?Finally, as if realizing that she was standing on this stage like a joke, Qiu Yingling's eyes soon filled with tears.

She stomped her feet and quickly ran off the stage. She couldn't even take care of the dignity she valued the most in the past.After all, she's just a woman, she's a bit thin-skinned after all, how could she bear being so humiliated in front of everyone.

Qiu Yingling ran in one breath and left the garden of the dinner party.Along the way, she didn't stop until she ran back to her bedroom in one breath.Tears flooded her face wantonly, and she didn't bother to wipe it away.At this moment, she felt extremely resentful towards Nangong He.How could he treat her like this, how would she hold her head up in front of other concubines in the future?The way he treats her and his attitude is enough to show her status in his heart.

Cai'er was a little shocked when she saw her mother just ran out of Wanyuan without even saying hello to the emperor and queen mother.The master of their family who usually pays the most attention to manners, how could he be like this at this moment?However, after thinking about it in a blink of an eye, she already had some clues.

If she read it right just now, the empress probably ran out crying just now.She must have felt that she had lost face because the emperor was indifferent to her explicit statement on stage just now.So, there will be such a performance.With this in mind, Cai'er greeted the master on the main seat, and went back together with the other maids of Wanyue Palace.

There was such a commotion at the dinner party that everyone couldn't help but sigh.However, it was very fast. Everyone had already forgotten what happened just now, and was immersed in the joy of the festival again.

Liu Yunxin glanced around, and finally saw Shen Jiaqing in a purple robe in the corner.Coincidentally, Shen Jiaqing's gaze also drifted towards her.The two looked at each other slightly, then smiled at each other, and soon looked away again.After all, on such an occasion, if it is reported that the emperor's concubine and courtiers are eyeing each other, it is really unpredictable.

However, just looking at each other like this was still seen by someone who cared.If these people and women in the palace want to survive in the palace, how can it be possible without thinking too much?These women beat Qiu Yingling and Liu Yunxin all day long.

After all, here, only these two women have a higher status than them, how could they be reconciled?Therefore, when Xu Huiyi noticed that Liu Yunxin was looking in the opposite direction of the stage and smiling in that direction, she was sensitive and immediately turned her head to look in the direction Liu Yunxin was looking. Unexpectedly, the person she was looking at turned out to be a A man, General Shen Jia Qing Shen who is well-known in the capital city and even in the country of Lei.She was immediately taken aback.However, she soon recovered.Heh, Liu Yunxin, oh Liu Yunxin, I finally got the handle, didn't I?You and Shen Jiaqing are flirting with each other in front of the emperor, are you really blinded by everyone?This time, let's see if I don't bring you down.

But, how can we bring down Liu Yunxin?She thought about it in her heart for a long time, but she still couldn't come up with a reason.Ah, she sighed.It's not good to just say it in public on such an occasion, right?Not to mention whether the emperor and the ministers would believe her if she said it so rashly, after all, she didn't have any real evidence in her hand.Of course she can deny it.

Furthermore, if the emperor intends to help Shen Jia lightly, then she will not be able to defeat Liu Yunxin no matter what.If the emperor wants to help Shen Jiaqing, then naturally he will help along with Liu Yunxin.Also, she always felt that the timing was not right now, if she said it like this, where would the emperor's face be saved?After all, no matter what, Liu Yunxin is still the emperor's concubine, if she fell in love with other men, the emperor would naturally be angry.She was thinking carefully in her heart, she should think of a good way, so as to bring down Liu Yunxin.Well, let's take a look for now, and when the time comes, it will be easy to handle.Thinking like this, Xu Huiyi finally felt a little better in her heart.

Perhaps, Shen Jiaqing and Liu Yunxin would never have thought that they would be seen by others just looking at each other.As a result, what happened later made them a little unexpected.

The dinner was rich and lively, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

After watching the performance of the two concubines, everyone couldn't help but feel a little dull with such dancing skills.Mrs. Liu suddenly wanted to listen to the music. Maybe it would be a good idea to listen to the music in such a dark night!Thinking of this, Mrs. Liu said, "Is there anyone here who knows how to play the flute? Today, the Ai family wants to listen to the song." As soon as Mrs. Liu said this, everyone was thinking in their hearts. I really regret it, especially those concubines who wanted to win the emperor's favor, but never thought of learning the flute when they first learned to dance and chess.If they had known that it would be useful one day, they would have learned it in the first place.In this way, we can win the favor of the Queen Mother and her elders.

Seeing everyone looking at me and I looking at you, all showing helpless expressions by coincidence, Mrs. Liu shook her head with some disappointment. Hey, it seems that this wish can't be fulfilled tonight.

Those soldiers who followed Shen Jiaqing on the battlefield couldn't bear to see the Empress Dowager Liu's expression like this.After all, she is just an old man. How can such a small wish disappoint her?Therefore, some soldiers stood up and said to Liu: "The Empress Dowager, General Shen is very good at the flute. Why don't you let General Shen play a song for the Empress Dowager." These soldiers, they followed Shen Jiaqing back then. Borderlands, everyone has heard her flute, such a beautiful piece of music, people can't help but immerse themselves in it.

"Oh? General Shen can play the flute?" Liu asked slightly surprised.After all, she looked at Shen Jiaqing, the expectation in her eyes was obvious, and Shen Jiaqing couldn't bear to refuse.Facing such an eager gaze from an old man, how could she refuse?Besides, that's the empress dowager, she has to play no matter what.

The thought of being stared at by so many people later gave Shen Jiaqing some headaches, she really really didn't like to be stared at by everyone in front of everyone.But this time, she knew that she could not refuse no matter what.She glanced helplessly at the soldier, who accepted her gaze and smiled brightly at her.In fact, although she was really unhappy, she also knew that the reason why the soldier did this was to make the Queen Mother happy.And she didn't mean to blame him in her heart.
