C9 Escape from Danger

Xie Ningqian's heart sank as she raised her voice. "Your Majesty, this subject wishes to explain a few things to His Excellency envoy. If His Excellency envoy understands, I hope that Your Majesty will calm his anger."

The emperor was infuriated, but his personal feelings were insignificant in the context of national relations. His face darkened as he said, "You'd better give the envoy a reasonable explanation."

Xie Ningqian bowed before looking at the envoy with an apologetic expression. "I'm very sorry, I originally wanted to surprise you, but I didn't expect to scare you."

She had a wry smile on her face, which piqued everyone's curiosity. They couldn't help but want to know what kind of surprise she had.

The envoy deliberately asked in Sanskrit, "What does Miss mean by that?"

Xie Ningqian did not want to show any sign of weakness as she replied in Sanskrit, "Your Excellency, the Sanskrit Kingdom and the Western Regions both belong to different countries, and their customs and traditions are very similar. Your excellency, the Sanskrit Kingdom and the Western Regions both belong to different countries, and their customs and traditions are very similar to each other." Xie Ningqian also did not show any sign of weakness as she replied in Sanskrit, "My lord, the Sanskrit Kingdom and the Western Regions both came here from far away.

The envoy's calm expression was somewhat better, but he still sneered, "If it's like this, then it's a surprise. I'm afraid Miss's excuse is too far-fetched!"

Xie Ningqian smiled again, "Please forgive me, Sir Envoy. This is just an appetizer. I originally wanted to draw out the meaning of the cultural friendship between the two countries, but I didn't expect that it would lead to a misunderstanding. The real gift is — a dance of Brahma Kingdom."

These words were not spoken in the Sanskrit language, but everyone looked at Xie Ningqian in astonishment. Who knew how to dance the Sanskrit?!

Only then did the envoy's face relax. "You know how to dance in Brahma?"

Xie Ningqian nodded. "Why don't we wait until Sir Envoy has seen Qianqian's present before deciding whether or not it's a qualified present!"

Xie Ningqian and the emperor had requested to dance a Buddhist dance, so the emperor, in order to appease the envoys, naturally wouldn't refuse. He had the dancers in the palace withdraw and built the stage according to Xie Ningqian's request. The stage was originally brightly lit, but all of a sudden, all the lights in the hall dimmed, forming a dark circle in the middle of the brightly lit hall.

Everyone was in a commotion, but the emperor remained motionless. This was because the envoys of the Brahma Kingdom had a clear look of interest in their eyes as they patiently watched the performance.

Seeing that there was no movement from the emperor, the ministers quietened down, and the hall suddenly resounded with the sound of the Hu Yin Drum, a resounding and majestic sound, coupled with the melody of the Brahma Kingdom's Tao Yun, the 42 strings of the ancient zither, and Hu Qin. The music was not as elegant and profound as the royal music, instead, it was filled with a sense of rhythm.

At the same time, a faint flame lit up in the center of the room, with a peacock screen in the middle. In the middle of the room, a peacock screen lit up, and a slim figure stood in the middle of the room.

The ups and downs of the music suddenly became deep and melodious. The screen slowly opened, and a pair of soft blue and green dancing dress, white and tender skin, and exquisite and perfect facial features appeared in front of everyone.

He was like a peacock fairy who had fallen into the mortal world. With the scenery around him as well as the dancing and quietness, the dance style was constantly changing. He looked incomparably charming, and the rhythm of his music was brilliant.

This was the typical dance of the royal palace of the Brahma Kingdom. It was warm and unrestrained, with the elegance and agility of nature mixed with the soul that represented objects, causing one to be unable to refrain from entering deeply into it.

When the music ended, Xie Ningqian lifted up her skirt and bowed down, "Your Majesty, this subject will only use this dance to offer to the Brahma Kingdom's ambassadors. I hope Your Excellency will like it."

"Good!" "I never thought that your imperial court would still be able to perform the Sacred Dance of the Brahma Kingdom to such perfection." The Brahma Kingdom's envoys all clapped, and their faces finally revealed expressions of joy.

The ministers and emperor were finally able to calm their anger. Finally, they relaxed and said, "You have to be more careful when you do things in the future. Don't make such surprises. When the time comes, won't you be happy? But still, there will be a lot of surprises left behind." The envoy is generous today. Otherwise, you will surely be punished for your crimes. "

Xie Ningqian let out a sigh of relief, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace. This subject will accept your teachings."

There was no danger in a banquet like this. Xie Ningqian thought to herself: It's best to avoid these strenuous missions in the future. If I screw it up, the big shots won't listen to my explanations.

"..."

After the banquet ended, Xie Ningqian heaved a sigh of relief. She planned to return home, but as soon as her carriage left the palace gates, someone stopped her. "Second Miss, please follow this subordinate!"

Qingge blocked his way cautiously. "Who are you?"

Xie Ningqian lifted the curtain and looked at the man in black with her deep eyes. "Is there something you need?"

The man lowered his head, "My prince invites the young miss to have a chat with him!"

Qingge wanted to refuse, but Xie Ningqian shook her head. "Then let's go!" It's already getting late, so I still need to return to my residence early. "

The palanquin was sent to the Seventh Prince's Estate. Because the Emperor didn't bestow the title of Emperor, only the words' Seventh Prince's Estate 'were hung on the signboard. The signboard was filled with the words' Seventh Prince's Estate '.

"Prince, Miss Xie has arrived!" The black-robed guard reported as the door opened. Xie Ningqian walked in first, but Qingge wanted to follow her but was stopped by a guard. "Miss, please wait."

Qingge frowned, "Miss …" That was the Ghost King, how could he let the young miss go in alone?

Xie Ningqian comforted her, "Just wait here. It's fine!"

There was only a single lamp burning in the study room. It wasn't lit, and it was even more depressing. It was as if the air was suffocating.

The man wore a black robe and had his hands behind his back. He stood tall and had a long head of jade. His black hair fluttered in the wind, but he did not speak.

Xie Ningqian frowned and took the initiative to say, "Prince!" What business do you have with me? "

"What is it?" Xiao Rui let out a light snort. On the surface, he didn't look much, but his tone was clearly angry due to the matter of the painting. "What happened to your painting?"

Xie Ningqian lowered her head, her black hair falling to the side of her face, making her face seem all the more exquisite. "Prince, I'm very sorry about the painting, but I didn't mean to …"

"That's not a very good explanation." When Xiao Rui Yi saw the portrait, he was actually very angry. If it wasn't for the public, he would not have survived until now.

However, Xie Ningqian had cleverly helped him out, which made him admire her intelligence. However, appreciation was not forgiveness. What he needed to know was what he needed to know.

"Xie Ningqian …" "If you do not hand over the culprit …" Xiao Rui took a few steps forward, his large body pressing towards Xie Ningqian. His tone was cold and threatening, "Then I'll start with you …"
