She knew today's family dinner wouldn't be peaceful.
First, it was Liu Shangshu who deliberately made things difficult for them. Now, the emperor wants them to dance for his amusement.
Who knows what will happen next, let alone the fact that Han Qingyun and Fei Fei, this dog-man couple, haven't made their move yet. They clearly have something up their sleeves!
But the emperor spoke, and in the palace, she couldn't publicly refuse.
Moreover, Yun Feifei, that little bitch, has already walked to the center of the main hall.
"Sister, come quickly, do not keep the Emperor waiting."
Yúnfēi said softly, as if accusing Yún'ān on purpose.
It is well known to all that the two daughters of Yun Xiangfu's family are vastly different, as distinct as heaven and earth.
The eldest daughter, Yun'an, is utterly useless. She's lazy, tone-deaf, and has no knowledge of poetry, books, etiquette, or decorum.
In contrast, the second daughter, Yun Fei, is adept at all aspects of art and culture—playing the qin, painting, calligraphy, and chess—she excels in everything. She is a role model for women in Beichen Kingdom.
"Your Majesty."
Yun'an An bowed respectfully.
"I am not good at dancing, it would be better if Lady Han danced first. I can play music to accompany her."
"Okay."
Whether it be dancing or playing music, everyone can imagine that the next scene will surely be magnificent.
A eunuch carried in a zither. Yun An'an sat gracefully before it, her fingers dancing across the strings, creating ripples of sound.
Only a jumble of harsh and discordant piano notes disturbed the furrowed brows of those present.
"Get ready for a good show, my lord. I bet you one hundred taels of silver that the emperor will be furious and hold Lady Yì responsible."
"My Lord, aren't you being unreasonable It's obvious to anyone who understands music that Princess Yi doesn't know how to play the qin."
People laughed, they knew the purpose of this family dinner.
The Regent and His Majesty have always been at odds, a relationship as sharp as needles against wheat. Whenever one side shows a weakness, the other will stop at nothing to exploit it.
Watch the movie, watch the movie!
While it appeared to others that Yun An'an was just fooling around in front of the guzheng, she was actually tuning it.
"My Lord, what tune would you like to hear I can play it for you."
"My beloved, I love all the music you play. Play freely and boldly, for I will always enjoy it."
In those deep eyes, there was tenderness and affection, tangible and real.
Although no one knows why the Regent and Miss Yun's family would be so deeply in love.
Could it be...
Suddenly, the eyes of everyone were fixed on Bei Chen Yi and Han Qing, who had never spoken a word.
Could it be that General Han's wedding day, the person who had an affair with Yun An'an was the Regent King
My God!!!
General Han's green hat on his head turned out to be worn by the Regent King. No wonder after he divorced his wife, Yun Anan became Princess Yi today.
People imagined the complex and intense relationship between the three, their gazes all openly fixed on Han Qing, who was visibly uncomfortable.
sparkle
A single note of the qin sounded, like a murmuring stream.
crisp and clear ~~
Two notes of the qin arose, their overtones spreading out, like streams converging into a small river.
jing jing jing jing~~~
As the music flowed, a magnificent landscape seemed to unfold before their eyes.
The imposing waterfall cascaded down, its water spraying like thousands of horses charging.
How magnificent, a scene of grandeur beyond the reach of language to describe.
In an instant, the scene shifted. Everything returned to stillness. The dissonance caused by the listeners' emotional responses resonated with the mournful notes of the music.
A lone plume of smoke rises in the desert as the sun sets in the evening glow.
People feel like travelers walking in a dark desert, devoutly worshipping towards the direction indicated by the stars in the sky.
When the last note of the piano faded away, everyone's eyes were slightly red, and a tear slid down their cheeks.
"As a lowly subject, my skills are lacking. I humbly beg Your Majesty's forgiveness."
Yun'an An stood up, bowed, and returned to her seat.
Beichen Yichao noticed a trace of unconcealed mockery at the corner of the woman's lips. It must have been related to the music just now.
"I did not know that Princess Yì was so accomplished in music. Here's a reward."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your gracious gift. Compared to Lady Han's dancing, my music is but a mere trifle."
When Yun'an said this, everyone finally came to their senses.
Yes!
Just now, not only did Yun An'an play a heavenly melody that was breathtaking, but also Yun Feifei, the second young lady of Xiangye's family, danced beautifully.
"What dance did Mrs. Han perform"
"I don't know, Your Grace. I was only admiring the music and didn't see Madam Han dancing. Didn't you"
"No! This celestial melody of Princess Yi is something only heavenly beings should have heard. This king hasn't seen it either."
Everyone is like that.
One by one, they were attracted by Yun'an's piano music and had long forgotten that there was also Yunfei Fei dancing.
Yun Fei Fei, who had just put on a vigorous dance performance, ended up dancing alone.
Lady Han's dance was truly mesmerizing, and everyone present was amazed.
"Thank you, your Majesty."
Yun Feifei, who was inadvertently bestowed with the favor, clenched her fists tightly and glared at Yun An'an fiercely.
She was unwilling to accept it. Her meticulously prepared dance had been stolen away by that despicable person, leaving her in the shadows.
The little bastard must have done it on purpose.
Yun An'an, you wait!! She won't let it go.
Though she longed to be with Yun Anan right away, Yun Feifei still returned to her seat with a gentle demeanor.
"Lady Yi, this Marquis is also a lover of music. I've never heard the tune you just played before. Would you mind telling me its name"
Lord Liu Lao of Beichen Kingdom asked.
"This one, I don't know the name of this tune either. Several years ago when I was traveling, I happened to meet a woman who played this very song."
Yun'an smiled faintly. Seeing Elder Marquis Liu's disappointed sigh, she continued,
"If Lord Hou likes it, I will have the qin score memorized and sent to your residence tomorrow."
Upon hearing the regained musical score, the old lord was delighted again.
"Princess Yi is generous, old man, I toast to you!"
"My lord, as a senior, you should be respected by your juniors. Please accept my respects."
Yunan An poured a cup of wine and drank it all in one gulp, which earned a look of approval from Elder Marquis Liu.
This girl, she's definitely not as innocent as she appears on the surface.
After three rounds of wine, the family dinner came to an end.
The emperor discussed the rebellion in the northern desert with Bei Chen Yi in the palace, while Bai Shiqi drove An Yun'an, who had been drinking too much, away from the imperial palace.
"Stop~~~~"
Near the palace gate, before Bai Shiqi could stop his car, Yun An'an leaped out and leaned against a tree to vomit.
"He jumped out of the carriage without it stopping. Even reincarnation wouldn't be this…"
I wanted to humiliate him, but Bai Shiqi frowned tightly when he saw Yun An'an spit out a mouthful of black stuff.
"How much poisoned wine has he drunk"
"I didn't know him very well before, but Lord Liu got it into his head that we were close friends and kept calling me brother."
It's not the wine that's the problem, it's the glass.
Bei Chen Yi cannot drink alcohol during her treatment, otherwise all her efforts will be in vain. She'll have to take his place and drink instead.
Fortunately, I ate a self-made antidote before entering the palace, which prevented me from kicking the bucket.
"You wait here for Beichen Yi, I'll go back and sober up."
Seeing Yun Anan walk unsteadily, her body swaying with each step, Bai Shiqi immediately stepped forward to support her.
This scene happened to be seen by Han Qing, who was passing by.
Shameless.
The carriage came to a stop. Han Qing snatched Yun An'an from Bai Shiqi's hands.
Are you crazy
Yunan An was already feeling dizzy, and when Han Qing pulled her forcefully, her head felt like it was about to burst.
"Fighting in broad daylight with your guards, Yun An'an, have you no shame" Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Glaring at the woman before him, Han Qing, who had remained silent throughout the entire family dinner, suddenly erupted with rage.
"This general has something to tell you, come here."
"As a general, to be so rude to the Duchess. General Han, don't you think everyone in our Yiwu Palace is easy to bully"
Bai Shiqi stood between the two, preventing Han Qing's violence.
He could annoy Yun An'an, it was his business, but Yun An'an also had another identity as the Princess Consort of Yi, she was the mistress of their Yi Wangfu.
This is a matter between General myself and Yun An'an, it's none of your concern.
"Ugh~~"
One couldn't hold it in, Yun Anan vomited again, hitting Han Qing's clothes just right.
"I'm sorry, you're really disgusting, you made me sick."
"You're saying General Han has no memory, that I have to say this over and over again Men and women shouldn't be intimate, especially with Mrs. Han watching from the carriage!"
When it came to Yun Feifei, Han Qing glanced at the carriage before reluctantly letting go.
Speak your mind and let it out.
She didn't want to see these bitches chattering away in front of her anymore. All she wanted was to find a wonton stall and eat some piping hot wontons to warm her belly.
"When did you go to Tianbaoge."
"What"
The alcohol, combined with the lingering effects of the poison, made Yun An'an's head feel a bit dizzy.
I didn't immediately understand what Han Qing meant by that sentence.
"I asked you when you went to Tianba Pavilion and who you went with."
"You're asking me this, naturally because you want to go to Tianbao Pavilion with my dear prince, aren't you Or are you insane!"
Ignoring Han Qingbai and the other two, Yun An'an turned and left.
Before leaving, she stopped by a passing carriage. Raising her phoenix eyes slightly, she met Yun Feifei's gaze.
"Since you're involved with Han Qing, you better keep your man in check and don't let him run around like a rabid dog."
And besides, put away your venomous heart and quiet down. Right now, I want to kill an ant just as much as I want to crush it.
As soon as her words left her lips, she ignored the various gazes that followed her and vanished from sight at the end of the street.
Watching the woman gradually disappear from view, Bai Shiqi shrugged his shoulders and sneered at Han Qing.
General Han, you should be clear, Yun'an is now the legitimate wife of the Prince and the mistress of Yiwu Palace.
"Whatever happened between the former Princess and General Han in the past, it's all water under the bridge."
Moreover, the princess is the regent's favorite, and General Han is still self-disciplined.
Bai Shiqi drove the carriage away, and Yun Feifei, supported by servants, got out of the carriage and walked to Han Qing's side.
"My husband, have I upset my older sister again"
"I know elder sister has always disliked me and held a grudge against me, which is why she has been targeting her husband everywhere. Tomorrow, I will go to the prince's mansion to apologize to my elder sister."
Yun Fei Fei's pitiful appearance instantly melted Han Qing's heart.
"Fei'er is not wrong, the woman is."
Holding Yun Feifei in his arms, Han Qing's gaze was fixed on the direction where Yun Anan had disappeared.
Since Yun An'an and Beichen Yi went to Tianba Pavilion, then the things inside the box...“...”"...."Everyone looked at each other, that palm strike was definitely not something an ordinary expert could pull off. I didn't expect Dabao to be a hidden master.> Is there anyone else who wants...
