"My beloved concubine, this is General Chen." After he sat down, Fu Yuheng looked at her with a smile that was not a smile. The size in his eyes made her somewhat puzzled. She had clearly never seen this person before, and they also hadn't interacted before. Why was it that the emperor's intention was to introduce him to her?

The moment he heard the emperor mention him, Chen Siming hurriedly stood up and bowed to the two of them. He was often out in the wind and sun. His face was already slightly bronze, but there was still a bit of shyness on his face.

"Oh, so that's how it is. Since it was brought up by the Ninth Prince, then his ability must be extraordinary. These words confirmed Chen Siming's ability, but on the other hand, they also pointed out his position.

"I'm very happy today, so there's no need for all of you to be too restrained. Just enjoy yourself properly, that's all. If there's anything else, we can talk about it later." He raised his head and downed a cup of wine, the taste buds in his mouth popping out.

"Your majesty, since we are so happy today, and the Concubine Xian is better off here, why not let the Concubine Xian dance a tune with us?"

Heh, to cheer up? To put it in a good light, it was most likely a form of humiliation. Shen Qingwan looked at the Prime Minister Liu below her, thinking about her future plans.

Even Fu Yuheng, who was standing at the side, looked at her as if he had never seen her dance before. It was just that this time was not really suitable, and his eyes were slightly displeased.

"I'm afraid that Prime Minister Liu will be disappointed. Although chenqie is a fourth concubine, she does not like to dance. I presume that she has never had as many talents as Honorable Liu, and would not be able to embarrass herself in front of all the ministers." He specifically emphasized the words Honorable Liu and the various ministers to remind the few people sitting down that she might be a Fourth Concubine. Since that was the case, how could she possibly cheer the ministers up?

As expected, the moment these words were spoken, the other ministers present at the banquet all looked at Prime Minister Liu with reproach. Fu Yuheng's expression also turned cold. It seemed that this Prime Minister Liu had not learnt enough from his lesson.

The atmosphere became awkward for a moment. General Shen stood up and bowed towards Fu Yuheng, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. This old servant only knows how to fight, but I didn't expect that I would be delayed from learning these things."

Fu Yuheng gave everyone a way out, but didn't say anything else. He waved his hand and sat him down. "No problem. My concubine still doesn't need to fawn on others." He had lifted Shen Qingwan to a certain height, but that was the truth.

Prime Minister Liu's expression became more and more stiff. Helpless, he could only lower his head and struggle against the food in front of him.

With Fu Yuheng's consent, they turned around and let Lian Yun call a few pitiful people over. Thinking back to how they probably hated the dance at the banquet last time, and told them to prepare a new dance, the awkward situation had finally ended.

Shen Qingwan wasn't interested in this matter at all. She wasn't a lady of a noble family, and now that she saw these pitiful people dancing in the past, she felt that it was boring.

Fortunately, it was just for the fun of it, so he didn't have much time to waste.

When the General Shen saw that his own emperor was still protective of his own daughter, he heaved a sigh of relief. Back then when he sent her to the palace, it might not be entirely wrong, he hoped that she could understand his bitterness.

Drinking one cup after another, accompanied by the depression in his heart.

Chen Siming was the main character of the banquet. At this moment, he stood up and bowed to the crowd, saying, "This time, many thanks go to the emperor for his generous gift. In the future, I will definitely spare no effort in serving our country." They didn't know if his words were true or false. They just replied in chorus. They hid their thoughts deep in their hearts. They couldn't say.

When he had finished his meal and wine, it was about time. Fu Yuheng saw that everyone looked exhausted. He also had matters to attend to, so he did not stay with them any longer. He only asked his servants to send them off.

"Today's the end. Everyone, leave."

Shen Qingwan felt that these people were being hypocritical. Looking at the people sitting in the seat of honor, she could not help but feel some sympathy for them. Moreover, she felt that if he did so, as the Emperor, how would he be able to stay in this place?

"Your Majesty, are you tired? Why don't we rest today? " A voice as smooth as water rang out beside his ear, making him feel slightly better. However, he still shook his head and said, "Forget it, I still have matters to attend to. If my beloved concubine is tired, she should go rest first."

Last night had already been a torturous night. In addition to accompanying him at the banquet today, seeing the deep purple in her eyes, he would probably lack rest as well. If he allowed her to stay here, it would truly be too harsh on him.

"Why does the emperor say so? Chenqie is the emperor's concubine, so she naturally has to relieve the emperor of his troubles as well." As he spoke …
