Shui Yuehan leisurely sat by Night Emperor Shang's side, looking at the wives and children of the ministers beside him, sighing from the bottom of his heart.

"Tonight doesn't seem to be peaceful." Night Emperor Shang's voice rang out, sticking close to the water as it slowly travelled through his ears.

When Shui Ruo heard this, he cast a doubtful glance at Night Emperor Shang, only to see that his gaze had landed on his left side.

Shui Long looked towards the direction of the voice and saw a woman wearing a light yellow dress with tassels covering it. She was staring at Ye Tianming and Shui Ruo with shining eyes. It was obvious that his attitude was one where he did not like water.

"This is …" Misunderstood your relationship with me? " Shui Long's mouth twitched, suddenly wanting to stay away from him.

"Probably, but that's good enough. "At least you're not sitting next to Shangguan Bing." Night Emperor Shang comforted him with a smile.

"Shangguan Qing? What's wrong with him? " The water flowed slowly, not understanding.

However, before he could reply, he heard a crisp slap.

"Get lost, this is my seat." The woman's voice was cold and proud.

Shui You looked towards the source of the sound and saw a woman in blue clothes standing in front of Shangguan Bing's seat; the one he had just beaten up was a woman.

"Eh? Don't be so cruel? I'm just a little girl. " Shangguan Qing's faint voice rang out, it was obvious that he did not care about this matter at all!

"Humph!" The woman snorted coldly.

Then, he saw the beaten woman move out of the way.

"This is?" Shui Long asked in a low voice.

"That's Princess Thirteen, the only female general here. However, since the war had ended, she no longer needed to lead her troops to fight. "On the contrary, during a palace banquet, he took a fancy to Shangguan Bing, and from then on, there can't be any other women by her side." Night Emperor Shang laughed.

Shui Ruo heard this and instantly understood why he said it was fortunate that he wasn't sitting next to Shangguan Bing.

It didn't matter if she was beaten up by the princess or not, it was useless for her to have enmity with the princess.

Thinking up to this point, Shui Ruo could only sit down on his butt by Night Emperor Shang's side.

Although there was also a girl that was eyeing him covetously, that girl clearly wouldn't try to mess with him in the open, she would only do something to him in the dark.

If that was the case, she had a way to guard against it. In comparison, the princess was completely defenseless.

Princess Thirteen's personality must be very fierce. If anyone dared to touch her things, she would definitely end up in a terrible state!

"The emperor arrives, the empress arrives!" Just as Shui Long was thinking about this, he heard a sharp sound. As the sound faded away, he saw two people dressed in bright yellow clothes slowly walk in.

Their steps were light and slow, but every step they took was as heavy as a thousand gold. With each step they took, the gazes of the crowd shifted towards them.

The emperor stared straight ahead, his authority inviolable. The empress was gentle and generous, causing others to view her with utmost respect. The auras of these two people were truly superior to that of the audience.

As they reached the upper level, they slowly sat down. Only then did the ministers rise to their feet. "Long live the Emperor, long live and long live the Empress."

"Everyone, please rise." Above him, the Emperor said indifferently.

"Get up." The queen followed.

When everyone heard this, they all stood up.

He returned to his seat. Unlike before, the ministers were a bit restrained.

"My dear sirs, tonight is New Year's Eve. I've thought about it, and I've decided to have the empress organize a banquet for us all to celebrate together."

The Emperor looked at the crowd and announced.

The ministers chimed in.

The empress then smiled and said, "My lords, I have not prepared any entertainment tonight. I will have to trouble my lords and invite their families to do so."

The empress's voice was gentle, but the moment she said it, the crowd went into an uproar.

Invite your family members to help?

The ministers all looked at their own children. Although they said this was what they were looking forward to, wasn't the empress's words a little too straightforward?

"Esteemed Empress, my daughter is willing to cheer you on." Just as the officials were puzzled by the empress's bluntness, they heard a coquettish voice.

Following the voice of the young woman, the crowd turned their gazes in her direction. It didn't matter if he looked. When he looked, he was truly shocked.

Isn't this the young lady of the Prime Minister's family, Xiang'er?

"Oh? Wan-Er is in the mood to cheer everyone up? " The queen looked at Wan-Er with interest.

Wan'er was the princess consort that she had always thought highly of. However, it seemed that she had no interest in the Crown Prince. This made her have no choice but to choose Shangguan Yun.

However, if she could choose again, she would definitely marry Wan'er.

This woman looked good, had a good temper, and had a Prime Minister's father. She was more suitable for the Crown Prince than Shangguan Yun.

The empress's heart was filled with mixed emotions. After thinking about it, her gaze fell on Wan'er. "So, Wan'er, what do you want to perform?"

When Xiang'er saw the empress ask her questions, she only smiled and said, "Esteemed Empress, Wan'er isn't talented. She only knows how to dance a little. Can you invite other ladies to dance with her?" He asked Wan'er with a smile.

Wan-Er's life was beautiful and her smile added a lot of impressions to her life.

They all looked at Wan-Er with satisfaction.

"Alright, I agree." The empress was also very fond of Wan'er, so she agreed to her request.

He then saw Wan'er walk towards him, step by step.

"I have a bad feeling about this." Looking at Wan'er, who was walking towards him, Shui Ruo said to Night Emperor Shang in a low voice.

"It seems like I've harmed you." Night Emperor Shang's voice was laced with laughter, clearly showing that he did not feel the slightest bit guilty.

Shui Long heard this and gave Night Emperor Shang a hard look.

Wan-Er walked up to her with a gentle and innocent face and said, "May I ask if you can dance with me?"

"Eh …" Can I refuse? Shui Long seriously wanted to ask this, but looking at how many civil and military officials and emperors were looking at her, she didn't dare to say a word of rejection.

Thus, he could only bite the bullet and nod his head, "It is my honor to be with you." With these words, the water slowly stood up.

When Wan'er saw the water come out, she smiled in satisfaction.

Just as Shui Yuehan walked to the center of the hall, he heard the sound of silk bamboo and then the sound of zither slowly flowing out.

Wan-Er looked at Shui Long and then reached out her hand, signaling him to put his hand on her palm.

Shui Ruo carefully put her hand in hers. Then, Wan'er started to dance with her!

There had to be something wrong with it!

When Wan'er looked at her, she looked like she wanted to eat her up. How could she have had the kind intention to dance with her and even bring her along?

Shui Yuehan didn't let down his guard. As expected, he started stepping on Wan'er as soon as he got up.

It was a force that made her wish she could crush her toes to pieces.

Shui Ruo was in pain, frowning. Wan-Er smiled at her, "There's still one more period. You have to hold it in."

Wan-Er was smiling, but she felt like she was provoking Shui Long. In fact, she was actually provoking her!

"I don't know what enmity I have with the lady." Shui Ruo followed Wan-Er and spoke in a low voice that only the two of them could hear.

"Hmm? Revenge? No. "But you did something you shouldn't have done, and I was only punishing you." Wan-Er's attitude was casual. As if that was what she should do.

With that, he stepped on the water again.

If it was said that she did not do it on purpose at the beginning, then it was tolerable. If this woman really just loved Night Emperor Shang too much and wanted to vent her anger, then she could still endure. But wasn't she a bit too much?

Shui Long looked at the girl and his eyes became cold. Then, like Wan'er, he followed suit and stepped on her feet.

However, she didn't expect that the next second, she would scream and fall to the ground.

The sound of the zither abruptly faded away along with the sound of the silk bamboo.

The crowd looked at Xiang Wan'er on the ground and the confused look on her face. They were stunned.

"What's going on?" The Queen asked unhappily as she ascended the throne. Although she had seen everything, she still acted like she didn't know anything and helped Wan-Er.

He had thought that he would have to think of another way to control Shui Ruo, but he didn't expect Wan'er to help him first.

The empress was very satisfied. She looked at Wan-Er and Shui Ruo and decided to seize this opportunity.

"Esteemed Empress, I'm fine. It's just a misunderstanding." Wan-Er's voice was low, but the word "misunderstanding" had reached everyone's ears.

High-end black! Shui Ruo instantly understood when he heard the word misunderstanding.

This woman simply ate people without spitting out their bones. If she really fell down on her own, how could she say that she misunderstood? She clearly wanted to frame him, and wanted to leave behind a pure and kind good reputation for him!

Shui Ruo cursed in his heart, but immediately made his move. She stood up and helped Wan'er up.

"Are you okay?" Shui Yuehan asked with a smile.

"Don't worry, the lady definitely did not do it on purpose. So, don't worry." She smiled gently at Wan-Er.

F * ck! At this moment, if one must use a word to describe the carefree heart of water, it would probably be this word.

At the same time, Wan-Er's words had completely disfigured the image of Shui Yuehan.

"Let's continue." He smiled at Wan-Er, and then he held Shui's hand and jumped up again.

Shui frowned, wanting to see if she had any tricks up her sleeve.

Sure enough, after a short while, he heard Wan'er fall to the ground again.

This time, the screams were even louder.

"What now?" The empress looked down and asked coldly.

Then, he heard Wan'er start to cry. "N-nothing."

"This is nothing?" The Queen was dissatisfied.

"I, I really don't care. "It's just that … it's just that …" Before Wan-Er could finish, her eyes fell on Shui Yuehan, "It's just that I'm a bit sad. Why did I kindly invite this girl to dance with me, yet she repeatedly tripped me up. Could it be that she doesn't like to dance? [If you don't like it, you can say so!] After Wan-Er finished her sentence, she started crying again.

"Too much!" This is outrageous! "Who is that woman?" They cried for Wan-Er, and the scale in their hearts started to tilt towards her.
