C15 Oriole

Just when everyone was curious as to why the emperor suddenly laughed, they heard the Gongxuzhi say with a chuckle, "All of you, you should learn from the Huangshu.

Hearing this explanation, everyone agreed while laughing, while praising the Emperor for his carefree attitude, and at the same time praising the Gongliancheng.

However, no matter what those people said, the Gongliancheng would just ignore them. Only after Gongxuzhi gave the order for the dance music, did everyone turn their attention to the dancers.

Taking advantage of the moment when everyone's attention shifted, Gongxuzhi's face instantly changed. Staring at the concubine who had come to pour the wine for him, he scared the court lady so much that she had to pour the wine carefully, afraid that she would punish her.

However, it was inevitable that he made a mistake. His hand inadvertently shook, and the wine was sprinkled onto the dishes at the side.

The concubine's eyes were suddenly filled with terror as she immediately knelt on the ground. "Your Majesty, please forgive me."

Gongxuzhi looked down at the person on the ground and remained silent, but the hand under the table had already begun to move slowly.

Linyunruo was the first one to notice the situation up there, but she did not say anything. She only watched them indifferently, until everyone could sense the unusual atmosphere up there.

"Your Majesty, this is …"

He was the former teacher of the Gongxuzhi, and even though he did not have a proper official position now, no one dared to offend him.

Without waiting for Gongxuzhi to speak, the concubine was already the first to speak, "This concubine has done something wrong, please forgive me, Your Majesty."

It was quiet now, the dancers had stopped when the emperor's teacher spoke. It was also at this time that Linyunruo heard his concubine's voice, she only felt that this woman's voice was like an oriole, extremely pleasant to listen to.

"Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival's reunion day. Your Majesty, you shouldn't be angered." The Taifu advised.

turned to look at Taifu. In truth, he was annoyed to death by this teacher, all he knew was to say some rules that were fair and honest, extremely pedantic, and sometimes even went against him. As a result, Gongxuzhi did not pay attention to him, but looked around at the people, and in the end, set his gaze on Linyunruo.

"I heard that the Linjiangjun's daughter is good at dancing, and it just so happens that this Leefei who is short on talent can sing a song. How about the two of them cooperate and play a tune together to help the mood?"

He was speaking with an inquiring tone, but he couldn't refuse her.

Linyunruo frowned, he stared at Gongxuzhi and did not speak.

Everyone knew that the Linyunruo was the Regent King and Zhunwangfei. Even if he had not bowed before, he could not casually ask others to please him like a dancer.

When these words came out, many people's gazes were secretly focused on Gongliancheng. Some people were angry at the words of the Gongxuzhi, while others were secretly waiting for the Regent to be mocked.

Gongxuzhi was also secretly paying attention to Gongliancheng's reaction, but on the surface, he was only looking at Linyunruo. Seeing that Linyunruo did not reply, he waved towards Leefei at his feet, "Go, if you do well, then you will naturally be rewarded. If you do not do well, then you will be punished together with the mistake you made earlier.

Although these words were a reminder to Leefei, it was also a reminder to him that if she did not agree, it would harm him.

He tried to threaten the Linyunruo in this way always, and then, he would weaken the Gongliancheng's spirit.

Just that, before Linyunruo could speak, another person had already opened his mouth.

"Your Majesty, no."

Gongxuzhi tilted his head and looked at the person who spoke just now, and it was Taifu who spoke earlier. Seeing that Taifu was about to start a long lecture on etiquette, Gongxuzhi smiled calmly, "Teacher must have drank too much today. Remember to carefully escort them. "

As soon as his words fell, someone immediately wanted to send Taifu away. Taifu looked at him and said that he couldn't say anything, but the people he valued etiquette the most naturally wouldn't be able to defy his orders.

It just so happened that at this time, Gongliancheng stood up, walked towards Taifu, and raised his cup as he said, "Taifu, this king offers you another cup."

To act without permission was undoubtedly disregarding the Gongxuzhi s.

Especially under the gazes of everyone present.

The smile on Gongxuzhi's face instantly disappeared, and the hand under the table involuntarily tightened, wishing that it could directly drag Gongliancheng out and execute him on the spot.

"Huangshu!"

"Your Majesty!"

Gongliancheng turned his head and stared at Gongxuzhi, his imposing manner did not lose out to that so-called ruler, "Taifu is just too happy today, it's only right for me to drink a few more cups."

Gongxuzhi glared at the people below, "Huangshu, this is the teacher of the few, the few naturally understand."

This was a reminder to Gongliancheng that she had to remember her own identity.

However, Gongliancheng was not a kind person. Sneering coldly, he did not reply to him, but turned and continued to talk to Taifu.

The Taifu could not see Gongliancheng disregarding the etiquette of a sovereign and rebutting the emperor in front of everyone, but he knew that this action of his would help him protect his reputation, and thus was stuck in a dilemma for a while. He could only sigh, and say that he was drunk, after going back to rest, Gongliancheng decided to let it go.

Gongxuzhi stared at the person below him who did not even put him in his eyes, veins on his neck started popping out, but he was the one who said that there was no need to stand on ceremony, and he was the one who praised Gongliancheng's actions in the beginning, so Gongxuzhi could only hold it in, and did not dare to get angry at Gongliancheng openly. As a result, he turned and glared at the people who were still kneeling on the ground, not moving, "Leefei! Are you deaf when you think you're a oligarch? "

"Chenqie doesn't dare." Leefei replied timidly, he got up and took the guqin from the palace maid, and hesitantly looked down at Linyunruo.

The reason the Gongxuzhi was pressuring her was actually to pressure the Linyunruo and take revenge on her.

He intentionally passed Leefei's life and the latter half of his life into Linyunruo's hands. It seemed like he gave Linyunruo the right to refuse, but in reality, it was a choice that left no choice but to step forward.

Only, he had never expected that his plans would have no effect on the Linyunruo.

The Linyunruo stood up indifferently, tidying her dress, and bowed to the Emperor. "Reporting to the emperor, I cannot dance. Even if they did, as the regent's consort, dancing in public to please others would probably harm the Regent's reputation. His Majesty probably wouldn't want his own Huangshu to be shamed, right? "

With just a few words, she shifted the topic towards Gongxuzhi. Seeing Gongxuzhi's face become more and more unsightly, Gongliancheng tilted his head and looked at the only woman standing in the middle, appreciating Linyunruo even more in her heart.

Gongliancheng discovered that this woman was probably smarter than he had imagined. Moreover, she didn't follow common sense, so she was someone he would definitely like.

"Young miss Lin has yet to even enter the sect and has already started considering for the Huangshu. I am truly happy for the Huangshu if I am not!" Gongxuzhi was clearly gnashing his teeth in hatred, but he could only maintain his magnanimity.

Gongliancheng looked at Linyunruo. He did not intend to show any mercy, so he said in a deep voice, "There is no need to trouble Your Majesty. This king is happy."
