The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy
Chapter 284: doomed man
Chapter 284 The Destined Person
He secretly clenched his fists. Anyway, the Emperor of Jin and Prince Xian had already agreed to his proposal to marry the princess, and the palace banquet would announce it today. He was not in a hurry. Even if the princess had no feelings for him, he believed that he could make the princess fall in love with him.
Wei Qiheng sat back in his seat with his eyes as if glued to Bai Qingyan, his face filled with unconcealable joy.
He has seen countless women, but the one who could make him so worried after just one meeting was only that one woman. He wished that there would not be any other beauties accompanying him in his life, and only she would be enough.
Wei Qiheng thought that he might have met his destined person just as his eldest sister had said!
When they heard the eunuch singing loudly, the Emperor of Jin and the Emperor of Yan had arrived, everyone in the hall stood up and saluted.
Bai Qingyan raised his eyes and looked towards the Emperor of Dayan. Without even making eye contact, Bai Qingyan’s calm eyes contained a warning. Murong Yu was stunned for a moment, then smiled with a headache. It seemed that he had offended the girl his brother liked badly last time.
The Emperor of Jin and the Emperor of Yan, Murong Yu, came together and sat side by side on the high platform.
The young prince Murong Li, who followed the Great Yan Emperor Murong Yu, saw Bai Qingyan, his eyes brightened and he was led by the prince himself to sit next to him.
The prince treated Murong Li gently, like an elder brother.
Murong Li resisted the urge to look back at Uncle Jiu. The Crown Prince pretended not to know about their boat trip and introduced them to each other. Murong Li then said, “Mr. Xiao accompanied us on the boat trip yesterday. I know Mr. Xiao.”
Emperor Yan looked in the direction of Murong Li and Xiao Rongyan, smiled, raised the wine glass in front of him and gestured to Xiao Rongyan from a distance.
Xiao Rongyan acted as if he was flattered. He quickly stood up with the wine glass in hand, bowed respectfully, covered his face with his sleeve, raised his head and drank it all in one gulp.
The prince was very happy. Yesterday, after learning that Xiao Rongyan and Emperor Yan had gone boating on the lake together, he instructed Xiao Rongyan to interact more with Emperor Yan.
“Does the Emperor of Yan know Mr. Xiao?” the Emperor of Jin asked Murong Yu.
“Yes, the chief eunuch beside me met Mr. Xiao in Nanyan. Yesterday, my youngest son wanted to go boating on the lake, and he used Mr. Xiao’s pleasure boat.” Murong Yu answered truthfully without hiding anything.
“Mr. Xiao is extremely talented. Although he is a businessman, he is deeply loved by His Majesty the King of Jin. I didn’t expect that the Emperor of Yan also admires Mr. Xiao so much.” said the Queen.
The empress, who had not been seen for a long time, accompanied the emperor to attend the banquet. What was unexpected was that the prince’s biological mother, Concubine Yu, actually sat below the emperor, while the now favored Concubine Qiu was actually brought by the emperor’s side.
Just as everyone was shocked that Concubine Qiu was so favored and that the Emperor of Yan was such a stunning figure, a rapid sound of huqin rang out, accompanied by dense drum beats.
A woman wearing a fiery red dance dress with gold and jade pendants and a golden veil on her face walked barefoot into the palace accompanied by the sound of music. Her steps were light and the golden bells on her ankles rang crisply with every step she took to the drums. Behind her followed a dozen strong men from Xiliang holding drums.
Bai Qingyan looked towards Li Tianfu. Li Tianfu, who was heartbroken yesterday over the death of Lu Tianzhuo, seemed to have been reborn today. She was full of charm and seductiveness, and her eyes were looking straight at the emperor… Her purpose seemed very clear.
She turned her head to look at the emperor who was sitting on the high seat, talking to Concubine Qiu with her head tilted to one side. The corners of her lips curled up slightly. It seemed that no matter how charming Li Tianfu was, she could not attract the emperor.
Women from Xiliang were always bold in their dressing, almost exposing their breasts, and never hesitated to let people admire their beauty. The contrast between the white skin on her waist and shoulders and the red skirt was very clear and strong, which made many young men in the hall feel distracted.
The graceful woman stepped forward to the beat of the drum. Her slender waist like a water snake was full of tension and swayed left and right with the beat of the drum. Her dance was captivating. She smiled charmingly in the direction of the emperor, and under her feather-fan-like eyelashes, her eyes were full of mysterious and seductive charm.
As the sound of the erhu changed, the woman’s eyes, more charming than peach blossoms, smiled, and she jumped lightly onto the drum that the strong man held high above his head, causing everyone to exclaim in surprise.
This woman can actually dance on the drum so lightly!
Li Tianfu smiled and spread her sleeves, tapped the drum surface with her toes and spun at high speed. The dress flew into the air because of her spinning speed. From a distance, it looked like a blooming red plum, breathtakingly beautiful and exciting.
The sound of bells, drums and pianos was accelerating, and the woman was spinning faster and faster.
Even the emperor sat up straight and looked at Li Tianfu…
The corners of Li Zhijie’s lips curled up, and his folding fan tapped against his palm from time to time.
Seeing Li Tianfu moving from one drum to another at such a high speed, so fast that people could only catch her red afterimage, everyone was worried for the graceful woman, but at the same time, their blood was boiling.
The sound of the piano suddenly rose, and Li Tianfu’s rotation stopped immediately. She clasped her fingers into the shape of a peacock and stood firmly on the drum… The strong men who were kneeling on the ground slowly stood up. Under the bright palace lanterns in the hall, Li Tianfu seemed like a peacock high above.
She turned her head and looked in the direction of the emperor. Her clear eyes seemed to be filled with desire, making all the men feel itchy when they saw her.
She slowly stretched out her arms and slender waist, stepped down on the drum and landed barefoot on the ground, like a fairy coming from the sky, kneeling down and bowing.
Not to mention the men present, even Bai Qingyan felt bewitched when she saw such a woman.
Li Zhijie stood up and bowed to the emperor, saying, “Princess Xiliang dances for the Emperor of Dajin. I wish the Emperor of Dajin a long life!”
“Good!” The Jin emperor clapped his hands. “The princess’s dancing is truly unparalleled in the world.”
“This time, the foreign ministers are following the orders of the Queen of Xiliang to send the princess here for marriage. We are willing to maintain eternal peace with the State of Jin.” Li Zhijie said with a smile.
Concubine Qiu, who was being pulled by the emperor to sit beside him, tightened her grip slightly. Seeing that the emperor had already laughed out loud, she gently grasped the emperor’s clothes and looked at him with her bright, watery eyes, full of resentment.
The emperor smiled and shook Concubine Qiu’s soft little hand, saying, “Princess Xiliang is so beautiful, it would be a good thing if she could marry into our Jin Kingdom, but… the prince already has a principal wife, so the princess can only be a concubine.”
As he spoke, the emperor’s eyes fell on Concubine Qiu, full of doting and indulgence.
The Crown Princess was startled. She looked up at the emperor who was sitting on the throne. Her pupils trembled slightly and she tightened the handkerchief in her hand.
The prince was quite surprised and quickly stood up to express his gratitude.
Li Tianfu is proud of her beauty. In Xiliang, as long as she wants, there is no man who will not surrender to her. Her target was originally the emperor, but she didn’t expect that the emperor was not attracted to her?
She tightened her grip. Even if it was the crown prince… as long as he stayed in the power center of Jin State, he would be able to kill Bai Qingyan’s family.
She raised her head, looked at the emperor with her alluring eyes, raised her hand to take off her veil, and bowed gracefully.
