Xu Rong listened and his interest on his face grew even thicker: "Since that's the case, I might as well take a look."

  Shi Yu Yin smiled and nodded: "I thought that Your Majesty would certainly like new and interesting things, so I had the troupe wait outside early."

  Xu Rong heard the words, and the joy on his face was even more intense. He looked at Gong Gong beside him and said, "Announce." He looked at Shi Yu Yin with satisfaction, his face full of relieved expression, this Yu Gui Fei could understand his thoughts best.

  Yu Mengdie, who was standing beside her, naturally looked displeased. Her carefully trimmed eyebrows were tightly furrowed, and a mocking smile played on her face. "Yu Guifei is indeed skilled at guessing the emperor's intentions."

  Yu Mengdie's words were clearly meant to be praise, but spoken in such a sarcastic tone, they were quite ironic. Upon hearing this, everyone thought that Yu Guifei was not the daughter of some noble or official, and that she had probably risen to her position as consort by currying favor with others.

  Although it's nothing wrong for the imperial concubines to try to please the emperor, but now that Yuan Mengdie has said so, it makes Shi Yuyin sound coquettish.

  Shi Yuyin's face turned pale, and in her heart, she hated Yuan Mengdie even more. This woman, relying on her good birth, actually humiliated herself like this, it was really too hateful.

  Before Shi Yuyin could say anything, Xu Rong slowly opened his mouth and said: "As the emperor's consort, she should help me solve my worries and difficulties."

  Yu Mengdie heard this and although her face showed dissatisfaction, she only moved her lips but didn't dare say anything else.

  Shi Yu Yin saw Xū Róng speaking on her behalf, she was overjoyed, and she was also clever. This Yuan Meng Die, in this grand hall, it's not convenient to say anything, but privately, she might be thinking of ways to make things difficult for herself again.

  After a moment of contemplation, her gaze shifted towards Chu Lianruo, and a plan formed in her mind.

  As the eunuch finished calling, a burly man walked into the Diligent Governance Hall, with a thick beard and mustache covering his face, holding a burning torch in his hand.

  Everyone in the hall was full of surprise, what is this going to perform?

  Only to see the man holding a torch, he saluted Xiurong and said: "I have seen the emperor, today I will perform an acrobatic show for the emperor and all the princesses and princes." After finishing speaking, the man stood up, holding the torch and bowed to the people around him one by one. After finishing the salute, the man seemed to blow a mouthful of air towards the torch, and flames suddenly spouted from his mouth, jumping more than a foot away.

  The people inside the grand hall had never seen such a performance before, and their faces were all filled with astonished expressions.

  Chu Lian had also been raised in a secluded boudoir, and naturally she had never seen such street performances before. When she saw the man spitting out fire, her face also showed a hint of surprise.

  Although Xū Róng was watching the performance, his eyes never left Chǔ Lián Ruò. Seeing her expression change, the smile on Xū Róng's face deepened a few degrees.

  Shi Yu Yin, being a thoughtful person, naturally paid attention to Xu Rong's changing expressions. Seeing Xu Rong's gaze fall on Chu Lian Ruo again, she was well aware that the Emperor had taken a liking to this Concubine of the Wang clan. Originally, Shi Yu Yin had planned to get rid of Chu Lian Ruo, but with the appearance of Yuan Meng Die, her thoughts had changed.

  Since the emperor favors Chu Lian Ruo, it's better to cater to his wishes. According to Yuan Meng Die's temperament, she will definitely not let Chu Lian Ruo enter the harem. When the time comes and she offends the emperor, she can reap the benefits of others' misfortunes.

  Thinking so, Shi Yuyin's mind moved slightly, and a hint of determination flashed in her eyes.

  As soon as the fire-spewing program was over, a dozen or so men in long white robes and red sashes walked in, looking like they were skilled in martial arts.
