Across thousands of years I love you 61

  After drinking for a while, the emperor smiled and said: "Although we can't watch the moon now, it's also delightful to gather together. I know everyone has a program to celebrate, let's start."

  The empress handed him a cup of wine and said in a soft voice, "Your Majesty is so happy, I'll sing for Your Majesty's happiness, let me sing a song for you."

  "Your Majesty." Murong Xue suddenly stood up, and with this courtesy, the Emperor just saw her shy and slightly annoyed expression, **shoulders, beautiful lines, half-concealed posture, even more imaginative, voice faintly revealing a few points of shyness, although head half-lowered, still vaguely visible facial features, exquisite and perfect. "Xue'er wants to present a song to Your Majesty before you do." ——Liu Fei sister, how can I let you start first? As a younger sister, it's only right that I go first and let my older sister enjoy herself, that's the duty of being a younger sister.

  The emperor smiled, and at this moment, Murong Xue's appearance was not much different from when he first met her. This made the emperor feel a little warm in his heart, and he felt a few points of guilt. These days, he had indeed neglected her, and it seemed that she had some resentment.

  Thinking so, without seeing the hatred in Liu Fei's eyes, he said softly: "Xue Er, I've long heard that you're proficient in all four arts of music, chess, calligraphy and painting. So, please take the trouble to let Empress Dowager and everyone present have a good time."

  "Your Majesty——" Liu Fei didn't wait, and leaned her body into the Emperor's.

  "There's no need to argue over this matter." The Emperor said with a hint of annoyance, "Look at you, what kind of behavior is this? The Empress and Consort Wu have not even spoken up, why must you make a fuss!"

  Mu Rong Xue's eyes were filled with emotions as she smiled softly at the emperor, and her ears caught the gentle laughter of Li Fei, who was sitting at the same table, teasing: "Snow Concubine, it's been a few days since we last met, you've made great progress, truly worthy of being the young lady of the Mu Rong royal family, it really opened my eyes. However, this is what makes things interesting."

  Murong Xue slightly tilted her head, gazing at Li Fei, "Is it interesting? I don't think so. I just feel like we have no choice but to do this."

  There was a hint of bitterness in her tone, it was true that the Emperor had once favored her, but now she had to go to such great lengths to curry favor with him, even sacrificing her dignity. The young lady from the esteemed Murong Royal Family also had to be so charming and alluring, thinking about this, her eyes reddened slightly, but she forced herself to hold back.

  Li Fei didn't say anything, but Mu Rong Xue and others who were once so proud and admired in the Mu Rong royal palace had now fallen to the point of using their looks to seduce the emperor, which was a very sad thing.

  Murong Xue sat in front of the piano, her slender hands gently stroking, and the sound of the piano rose, elegant and moving.

  Murong Feng nodded, and this Murong Xue was indeed well-versed in chess, piano, literature, and painting. Murong Qinglang must have spent a lot of effort and time educating her. Thinking of this, she suddenly smiled lightly. In the era of Bai Min, she didn't understand music or chess, but here she had somehow picked up Murong Feng's skills and could play the piano and compose poetry. Hehe, it was quite interesting.

  Having stayed in this dynasty for a long time, I always feel that I have been assimilated to some extent, from words and deeds to behavior, and unconsciously restrained a lot.

  Sometimes it's hard to avoid feeling suffocated.

  The sound of the zither was melodious and moving, the emperor's eyes became increasingly gentle, a beautiful woman, infatuated and simple-minded, to him, was naturally an irresistible temptation, plus several days without favor, there was also a sense of guilt in his heart, he unconsciously stood up from his seat, walked to Murong Xue's side, and watched her play the zither.

  Looking down from above, the delicate skin on her chest was faintly visible, and the beautiful lines also rose and fell gently with her breathing. That unconscious temptation made the emperor swallow his saliva lightly, only to regret that he couldn't go to a secluded place at this moment and indulge in pleasure.

  Liu Fei sat in her seat, seething with anger, glaring fiercely at the Emperor and Snow Fei. The Empress and Wu Fei, however, both had calm expressions. Having gone through many Mid-Autumn Festivals and witnessed numerous such scenes, they had long since grown tired of competing and keeping score.

  Actually, Wu Fei understood in her heart that these tricks had been used by herself when she was young, and she had also relied on her appearance to please the emperor. Relying on her youth and beauty, she thought the world belonged to her, and the emperor would only favor her alone, even thinking of replacing the empress's position. But now it has all faded away. How could the emperor possibly favor just one person?

  The music ended, and the Emperor helped Mu Rong Xue up, speaking softly: "I was indeed neglecting you, don't blame me?"

  "Xuě ér nǎ lǐ gǎn guài zé huáng shàng, zhī shì xuě ér sī niàn huáng shàng, pà huáng shàng bù zài xǐ huān xuě ér ér shāng xīn, shì fǒu xuě ér bù hǎo le, suǒ yǐ huáng shàng bù xǐ huān xuě ér la?" Mù róng xuě de yǎn lèi liú le chū lái, yī fù jiāo róu zhī tài, shēn zǐ yǒu yì wú yì de xié kào zài huáng shàng shēn shàng.

  The emperor, who favored her, drew her into his arms and smiled: "Where is it? It's just that I've had a lot of things to do these past few days, so I haven't been able to go to the Snowy Garden as often. Come, come here with me, and keep me company for a cup of wine."

  "Thank you, Your Majesty." Murong Xue smiled obediently, and her smile made the Emperor's heart itch.

  The empress dowager pretended not to see and only spoke with Sima Minglang.

  Murong Feng found it interesting, but in fact, during Bai Min's era, TV had also seen similar plots, but now they were being acted out live in front of him, and there was something laughable and pitiful about it.

  Murong Xue probably didn't have the ability to understand the reasoning behind 'tempting her husband with charm', after all, she was just a young girl who had only recently left the boudoir. How could she possibly comprehend such an old and cunning way of thinking? Moreover, it was even more unlikely that a young girl who had just begun to understand the ways of love would be able to tempt her own husband with such charm and allure, especially in front of his other women. Thinking about it, it seemed rather far-fetched. The only explanation that came to mind was that someone must have been advising her, and if things didn't take an unexpected turn, it should be Murong Xuan.

  But Murong Xue listened, which means she is strong enough and smart enough. If this continues, it's likely that one day a storm will be stirred up in the harem.

  Some hidden worries.

  Murong Xue is beautiful enough, smart enough, in this realistic palace, she forces herself to mature, it's hard to say whether one day she will replace her.

  Next, the other consorts no longer wanted to make an effort. Faced with the beautiful and moving Snow Consort, everyone could only admit it. This imperial palace was indeed such a reality. Everyone was just quietly eating their food, and the atmosphere became somewhat chilly for a while.

  Murong Feng suddenly sighed and said faintly, "Simarui, the more I think about it, the more I realize that I shouldn't love you. If I did, I would lose myself completely. I'm afraid that by then, I would be like Murong Xue, using all my heart to please you, even if it means putting myself in a position that's unbearable to me, and ultimately regretting today."

  Simarui was taken aback, "Life is not that long, why think about such distant things at this moment? It's already not easy to meet each other, and it's even harder to be together. The Emperor is the ruler of a country, usually everyone yields to him, after a long time, he starts to spoil himself, if you look at me with his behavior, then you really underestimate me. I like you, my heart only has room for one person, where can I put others? Who can you compete with? Only yourself."
