Charm King Domination: No. 9 Favorite Concubine

Chapter 64 The Rhythm of the Storm
Mu Lianyi looked at her sideways and smiled: "Why are you nervous?"

"Isn't this the first time you have congratulated the emperor on his birthday? There are still so many foreign envoys here, aren't you worried?" The little girl said, and sat down next to Mu Lianyi with her big watery eyes blinking.

Mu Lianyi looked around.

Ever since she said that she was going to perform a painting, those official daughters either avoided her like a snake or scorpion, or simply looked at her secretly with gloating eyes.

This little girl was the only one, and she looked at Mu Lianyi with pure curiosity.

Mu Lianyi remembered that she was sitting with the Minister of Rites just now.

"Your name is Xi Yan?" Seems like that's what his father called her?
The little girl nodded and smiled, revealing two dimples, she looked really pretty.

"I know you. You are the daughter of Prime Minister Mu, the fiancée of His Highness the Crown Prince."

"..." Mu Lianyi smiled.

It seems that all those who say they know her only know who she is, so-and-so's daughter, and so-and-so's fiancée, and all they pay attention to are those who put on her head, all of them seem to be glamorous, but in fact they are all invisible shackles title.

"My name is Mu Lianyi!"

"I know! What a nice name."

Zi Xiyan was playing with the instrument in her hand, her big bright eyes were shining like stars, she was talking to Mu Lianyi like a curious baby.

With her here, Mu Lianyi didn't feel bored anymore.

Around them, the official daughters took a deep breath and waited to go on stage. When they were nervous, they glanced at Mu Lianyi and Zi Xiyan, their faces full of speechlessness.

From the looks of it, among the many people present, only the good-for-nothing Miss Mu's family and the innocent and careless young lady from the Minister of Rites could chat and laugh in such a tense atmosphere.

In fact, Zi Xiyan was very nervous, even though she had participated in three banquets like today, she still couldn't help tensing her nerves when she thought of waiting for so many pairs of eyes to fall on her.

"Sister, let me play with you later, okay?"

For banquet performances, in order to save time and improve the effect, the ladies who came to perform for the emperor's birthday can perform with their friends.But, is she sure she wants to follow her?

Mu Lianyi blinked her clear water eyes, and looked at the watery little girl in front of her with some uncertainty.

From the very first sight she fell in love with the clarity in Zixi's eyes, but...

"Are you sure?" She didn't ignore the gasping voice around her, and everyone looked at Zi Xiyan as if they were looking at a super fool.

Some people even sneered in front of them: "The daughter of the Minister of Rites is also stupid, right? Playing with Mu Lianyi, isn't that courting death?"

"That's right, Mu Lianyi might be sheltered by the Queen Mother and His Highness the Crown Prince if she got into a catastrophe, but she? Hehe... If something really happens, the Minister of Rites can't afford it!"

Mu Lianyi shook her head: "You should play by yourself?" She can't hurt others!

"No, sister, I will be nervous if I play alone."

Zixi pursed her lips and said with some embarrassment: "A few times before I was on stage with my elder sister, but today my elder sister is sick, I... I will be afraid alone!"

"You can find someone else to accompany you."

Zi Xiyan shook her head: "No, they are all very nervous, and I will be even more nervous when I am with them. Moreover, they all look down on me and will not be willing to perform with me."

Mu Lianyi: "..."

But isn't she afraid of being dragged down by her?He is known as a "bad criminal record"!

Listening to the voices around her, it seemed that Mu Lianyi's embarrassment on the stage was already a certainty. Didn't this little girl feel Alexander when she stood with her?
Mu Lianyi wanted to say something else, but the little girl took her arm and swayed coquettishly: "My good sister, just help me, I promise I won't make trouble for you..."

"..." Woohoo, I'm afraid of causing you trouble!
Mu Lianyi tearfully looked at the arm that was being held tightly. She didn't take today's performance seriously at first, and even wanted to play some farce to make Hua Yuanhao completely disappointed in her, but now she had to Get serious.

She frowned slightly: "You really want to be with me?"

"Seriously!" Zi Xiyan nodded heavily, her determined expression was unquestionable.

Mu Lianyi sighed: "Okay!"

Because of the little girl's trust in her, she should change her intentions towards Huayuanhao...

……

In Yunxiao Palace, Hua Yuanhao, who was sitting in front of the wine table, was staring at the golden booklet presented by his confidant, his face was so gloomy that water could be wrung out.

"She wants to paint?"

Like a cold wind passing through, the chilly tone came out of Hua Yuanhao's mouth, and the confidant shuddered suddenly, and replied in a trembling voice: "Yes, Eunuch Lu asked several times, and she was sure not to change it."

"Bullshit!"

Hua Yuanhao slapped the golden booklet on the table, and saw that the people around him turned to look at him strangely, he endured it, and his eyes subconsciously fell on those dignified and majestic figures in the distance.

Emperor Qingxuan was talking to a foreign envoy, but he didn't notice his abnormality, but...the empress dowager and empress looked at him.

Confusion was written in the eyes: Why did the prince lose his composure?
Hua Yuanhao clenched his fists with mixed feelings.

After nodding to them apologetically, he withdrew his gaze and told his cronies in a cold voice: "Tell her to change the show, just say it's my order."

"……Yes!"

The confidant gave Hua Yuanhao a surprised look, lowered his head, and hurriedly turned to leave.

When he came back again, he had a drooping bitter face, struggling to move.

Hua Yuanhao sensed his aura, turned around and asked coldly, "How?"

"If you go back to Your Highness, Miss Mu, she, she..."

"Huh?" The cold nasal voice seemed to be frostbitten.

The confidant's legs were weak, and he subconsciously wanted to kneel on the ground, but was enveloped by Hua Yuanhao's coercion, so he didn't dare to act rashly.

I had to look around hard, and said in an unattractive tone as much as possible: "Miss Mu said, if Your Highness doesn't want to be ashamed, then don't interfere with her performance, or she will not be responsible for the consequences."

Poor young and strong boy, bitter haha, after saying these words tremblingly, I can't wait to stick my head into the ground like an ostrich.

After waiting, Hua Yuanhao couldn't respond, he raised his head weakly, and then was dizzy from fright for a second—can the face in front of him still be called a face?

Oh my god, that is simply Yama, carved out of black charcoal.

A certain prince squeezed out a word from his thin lips in a sinister way: "Good! Very good!"

What is it?

Why did he have a premonition of a storm coming?

Just as he was making his cronies nervously prepare to accept Huayuanhao's anger, suddenly, a heart-pounding piano sound came from not far away.
