After Du Mu Zhou and Du Ruanyu chatted for a while, they realized that Princess Qingying had disappeared. It seemed that she had gone to change into her dancing dress.

"I heard that the next step was Princess Qinggrong's dance. His Majesty loves slender, waist-long beauties. Tell me, Your Majesty …" Du Ruyu whispered.

However, Du Ruanyu was interrupted before she could finish. Don't say too much about what happened in the palace! "

The corner of Du Ruanyu's mouth twitched as she gave a fake smile, which showed that she did not know the rules.

After a short moment, Princess Qingying arrived at the arena.

Her dancing dress was very simple, it could be said that it was made out of several pieces of cloth. Although it was simple, it was still extremely beautiful.

His clothes were unclothed and his body was somewhat naked, but the emperor was looking at her with his eyes. He liked this kind of woman. The Southern ladies were conservative and never wore these kinds of dancing dress. However, in order to curry favor with the emperor and obtain his favor, they had to put in a lot of effort.

The people on the stage were extremely charming, but the thoughts of the people below the stage were all different.

"This Imperial Concubine Qing doesn't resemble a girl from the Southern Kingdom. She's actually so daring!"

"Another beautiful lady who's bringing disaster upon the nation? I wonder what His Majesty is going to become like after being bewitched like this?"

"The harem is about to set off another wave!"

Just when everyone was engrossed with the sight and was about to finish jumping up, suddenly, the girl did not stand still. She staggered and then fell to the ground!

Silence!

She hurriedly apologized: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I, Chenqie, am being impolite in front of the palace. Please forgive me!"

But in Du Mu Zhou's eyes, it wasn't like that at all. Just now, she clearly saw a small stone hit her alluring calf and her legs went soft before she fell.

When she saw that the Emperor didn't say anything, she became even more nervous. The sound of rapid breathing could be heard from the hall. Perspiration dripped down her forehead and her upper body was shaking. She was extremely nervous.

Du Mu Zhou also broke out into a cold sweat for the sake of Allure. It was obvious that someone was doing this on purpose.

Just when everyone thought that the Emperor would blame Eternal Rest, the Emperor suddenly smiled.

"What is a beloved concubine doing?" The Emperor stood up and walked to her side, helping her up. His eyes were burning with passion, causing everyone to be unable to react.

She was at a loss of what to do, as she didn't know what the Emperor intended to do.

"Just now, my beloved concubine's dance was really beautiful. It was as elegant as a dragon and as beautiful as a fairy. It deeply captivated my heart. Someone, come here and reward me!"

The emperor ordered someone to bring him a set of golden phoenix hairpin. Just by looking at it, one would be able to tell that it was exquisite. She liked it immediately, but she recognized it as something that shouldn't be hers. After all, the things that were hooked up to the phoenix were generally items that belonged to the empress. However, the current empress had yet to receive a reward from the emperor, so she naturally did not dare to accept it. And this caused the empress below the stage to feel embarrassed!

"Your Majesty, this … Your concubine absolutely cannot bear it! " Allure refused.

"I gave it to you, take it." the Emperor said firmly.

The phoenix headdress set was entirely made of gold. The two phoenixes on the left and right were like living creatures, carved out of thin air and glittering with golden light. It must have taken quite a bit of effort.

The emperor looked at Qing Ruo in satisfaction as she received it. He thought to himself that it would be alright if he took it, but he actually brought it on for her in front of all the officials.

The empress below the stage was so angry that her face turned ashen. The emperor's actions were like slapping her in the face in front of everyone. Though the imperial concubine's expression didn't look too good, it didn't look like this. After all, she didn't want to see an alluring beauty, but seeing the empress humiliated made her feel much better.

"Your Majesty?" Allure probed.

"Come, sit with me!" The emperor directly led Qing Ruo to the throne.

Everyone trembled as they watched this scene. It seemed that the situation in the imperial court would change once again because of the harem woman. There had been too many incidents like this already.

Thus, Allure sat down beside the Emperor.

Du Mu Zhou was also relieved. He didn't know if this sudden and inexplicable favor was a blessing or a curse.

"Elder sister, what's going on with His Majesty?" Du Ruyu thought that this was a play that was deliberately arranged by Allure, but Du Mu Zhou really didn't know, so Du Ruyu's question about the wrong person.

Du Mu Zhou shook his head and said, "I'm not sure, but the danger of being seductive should have been solved."

Du Mu Zhou looked at Qing Ruo and saw that she was still overwhelmed by the unexpected favor.

However, when she caught sight of Qing`er, Qing`er's lips curved up in a faint smile. However, the next second, the smile disappeared, and Du Muzhou was in a trance, thinking that he had misjudged her.

However, it was only later on that she found out that she was wrong!

Halfway through the banquet, the emperor went back to the palace to rest because he couldn't drink enough wine.

Soon after, the empress and imperial concubine left as well.

Since this big shot had already left, then the rest of the time would naturally be spent on dating. There was no need to think about Du Mu Zhou. Mu Ling Shao fawningly ran over to her side and sat down. He was holding several pastries that she loved to eat.

Du Mu Zhou was still puzzled and asked, "How do you know I like to eat these?"

Mu Ling Shao scratched his head and tilted it to the side. He obviously wouldn't say that he bought this information from Jian Jia for a huge sum of money.

However, Du Mu Zhou finally found out. Once they returned to the mansion, Du Mu Zhou asked Jian Jia, and when she found out, Jian Jia didn't receive any salary for three months, so her life could be said to be miserable!

"Hurry up and try it, it's delicious! The pastries in the palace have always been very good. You eat less, eat more!"

Honestly speaking, after she became the Sixth Imperial Concubine and Empress in her previous life, she had already eaten all of the palace's snacks. Because she was bitter inside, she loved to eat sweet things, but unfortunately, eating too much would make her taste worse.

"I don't want to eat it. Take it away, I don't want to see it either!" Du Mu Zhou also pushed the plate away.

This surprised Jian Jia and Mu Ling Shao.

"I've eaten too much recently, so I don't want to eat it. Don't think too much about it!"

Only after hearing Du Mu Zhou's words did Mu Lingshao let out a sigh of relief. He thought that he had done something wrong.

Jian Jia's heart tightened, she thought her young miss had changed her tastes. Then wouldn't the information she provided be wrong? What if Mu Lingshao told her to return the money?

Mu Ling Shao smiled, and poured a cup of tea for Du Mu Zhou, and chuckled as he said, "Mu Zhou, then you should drink your tea. Mu Ling smiled, and poured a cup of tea for Du Mu Zhou, and laughed as he said,"

Du Mu Zhou nodded, accepted the cup of tea, and took two sips. Indeed, it wasn't bad, it wasn't too greasy!

"Young Master Mu, long time no see!" Du Ruanyu suddenly came over with a smiling face.

Du Mu Zhou raised his eyebrows.
