“Didn’t you guys say that you wanted to dance? How was it an insult? If you insist on thinking so, I will give you two words: Now that Su Qing wants to see it, you must dance. Otherwise, you will be defying the imperial edict.” Xiao Zeyu glanced coldly at the tear-stained Princess Lanting. The words he said made Lanting dumbfounded. She had been pretending to be weak for so long, but the Emperor did not even look at her and forced her to dance for that woman.

Lanting hated him to death, but she didn’t show it. This was Tang territory, not Japan, so she had to endure her temper.

Besides, she still had a mission. If she could endure it for a while, she would return the humiliation she had suffered today to that woman in the future.

The Japanese envoy was furious when he saw the princess being humiliated.

Princess Lanting was loved by thousands of people in Japan. It could be said that all the men in Japan wanted to be her man.

In the hearts of the men in Japan, she was like a fairy. As long as she said it, men would willingly go through fire and water for her.

This dog emperor of the Central Plains called Princess Lanting a dancer? The envoy was furious and protested to Xiao Zeyu,

“Your Majesty, a scholar can be killed but not humiliated. You can’t insult our

Princess Lanting like this.”

Lanting wanted to stop the envoy, but she couldn’t. Seeing that he had already

said it, he put on a look of enduring humiliation and said,

“I’m fine, as long as the emperor is happy…”

Before Princess Lanting could finish speaking, she heard Xiao Zeyu’s cold

voice,

“Then…Just kill him!”

Princess Lanting and the envoy were dumbfounded. When the two armies fought, they didn’t even kill the envoy. Why did the Emperor want to kill them?

“Spare me, Your Majesty.”

Seeing that things were not looking good, Lanting knelt and looked at Xiao Zeyu with tears in her eyes, begging for mercy,

“Lanting apologizes to the Emperor and Niangniang on behalf of the envoy.

Please show mercy!”

“Alright, then you can dance. You can only stop when the Empress smiles.”

Xiao Zeyu put on a friendly face and gave Lanting a harsh condition.

In other words, as long as Su Qing didn’t laugh, Lanting would continue to jump, even if she was exhausted.

Lanting frowned slightly when she heard that, but she could only endure the humiliation before gaining a firm foothold. Otherwise, who would she show her pride to if she lost her life?

She only hoped that by acting pitifully, she could make the Emperor feel pity for her. Even if it were a little pity, her humiliation today would not be in vain.

“Yes, Your Majesty. Lanting will do as you say.”

Lanting bowed. She had practiced in front of the mirror, so she knew what she looked like the most. Her every move was full of femininity, and her charming eyes were mesmerizing.

She had used this trick to charm many men, thinking that it would work on Xiao Zeyu as well. However, she discovered that he wasn’t even looking at her but was instead whispering to the Empress beside him.

The way he looked at the Empress was gentle and doting. It seemed that there was only that woman in the huge throne room.

“Qing’er, are you hungry? Should I ask them to bring you some refreshments?” Xiao Zeyu was worried that Su Qing would go hungry as she watched the performance, so he asked her out of concern.

He didn’t care that this was the throne room as if he was sitting on a brick bed.

“I’m not hungry.”

Su Qing knew her limits. After all, the Throne Room was a place to discuss state affairs. Letting Lanting dance in the Throne Room was already shocking enough, but it was also necessary for political affairs. Giving the Japanese a show of strength was like humiliating them.

“Alright, then let’s watch the dance!”

Xiao Zeyu looked at Su Qing with a smile, but when he looked down at the stage, his eyes turned cold. His face was dignified, like a lofty emperor. Lanting had already planned this out. She knew how beautiful she looked when she danced. Dancing in the throne room of the Emperor of the Central Plains was her key to opening the gates of the Central Plains. It was also a way to win Xiao Zeyu’s heart.

The people from the Central Plains might not know their songs, so she brought the musicians from Japan.

The heads of all the officials in the court were now numb, but no one dared to persuade Xiao Zeyu. Since the Empress wanted to watch the dance, they would lend her some light and watch it together!

“Your Majesty, Lanting wants to go down and change her clothes.

Lanting said coquettishly to Xiao Zeyu. Xiao Zeyu waved his hand,”

“Yes.”

As long as she danced obediently for Qing’er to see!

Lanting didn’t go away for too long. She came back in about 10 minutes. She changed into her native clothes and had her back slung. There were three jade hairpins in her hair. She held a small fan in her hand. The fan covered half of her face, revealing only her eyes.

Xiao Zeyu looked at her exposed skin and was puzzled. What the hell was she doing? Smeared flour on her face?

Su Qing was very familiar with the Japanese dance. She smiled and was ready to watch a good show.

Soon, the music started playing, and all the officials frowned along with the music.

What kind of music is this? Why did it sound a little like the funeral music played by the elderly at home?

It sounded uncomfortable!

Xiao Zeyu’s brows naturally furrowed deeply. He looked at Su Qing beside him, slightly regretting asking Lanting to dance. He didn’t want to scare Qing’er again.

Su Qing smiled at him.

Xiao Zeyu looked at Su Qing’s eyes carefully. Luckily, her eyes were smiling.

She shouldn’t be angry or jealous.

He sat on the dragon throne and looked down. It just so happened that Lanting made a gesture of separating her hands, revealing her entire face. Her pale face looked as if she had crawled out of a noodle jar, and her blood-red mouth looked as if she had just eaten a dead child. The worst thing was that Lanting even winked at him and flipped her hand in his direction!

This… This was a malicious ghost seeking death!ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ novelenglish.net . (ꜰ)ire.ɴet

Xiao Zeyu hurriedly used his hand to block Su Qing s eyes,

“Qing’er, don’t look. Don’t scare the child.’

Su Qing wasn’t afraid. She knew the culture of Japan. In modern times, people like Lanting were called geisha. This kind of makeup was very suitable for the country of Japan.

Su Qing had always thought that the people of this country were not people from the Yang Realm. They were like ghosts and monsters, more like rats in the gutter. In short, there was no time for them to be open and aboveboard. They would only cause trouble behind their backs.

Therefore, Su Qing had reason to suspect the true identity of Princess Lanting. The princess of Japan would never dance like this.

Lanting was still working very hard. Her eyes drifted occasionally, and she would occasionally flirt with Xiao Zeyu. Xiao Zeyu’s face was stiff as he looked away. When he looked at the civil and military officials in the court, it was as if they had swallowed fly sh * t. Some of the timid ones were so scared that their faces turned pale. They did not dare to look at Lanting anymore.

Those who didn’t know better would have thought that Ox-Head and Horse-Face had come to steal his soul during the day!

“Let her stop?”

Xiao Zeyu saw that Su Qing was watching with great interest. He feared Lanting’s big white face would affect the child’s appearance in Qing’er’s stomach. Pregnant people should not see ugly things, or else the child would become ugly.

“Interesting.”

Su Qing didn’t want to let Lanting off so quickly. Lanting was still very happy when she started to dance, but the more she danced, the less smile she had in her eyes. She realized that the officials didn’t dare to look at her anymore. Lanting wanted to stop, but Su Qing didn’t laugh at her. If she stopped, she would be disobeying the imperial edict..
