Prince Pampers the Escaping Consort

Moments later, Liu Zhixue had changed into a light dancing dress with a thin veil covering her curvy body.

"Your majesty, Xue'er has a presumptuous request." After everything was ready, Liu Zhixue suddenly made another request.

"Tell me about it." Although Nangong Xiao had seen Liu Zhixue's dance once, she had never forgotten it.

"I need someone to play for Xue'er." Everyone had thought that it was some sort of request. The zither music paired with Liu Zhixue's dance was simply a match made in heaven.

"Approval." Nangong Xiao agreed without any hesitation.

"Xue'er has heard that Princess Snow's zither skills are superb. I wonder if it's possible to talk about a song for Xue'er?" When those words were spoken, everyone's gazes immediately shifted to Yan Xiaoxi.

Next, everyone saw a scene like this.

At this moment, Yan Xiaoxi was eating happily. With the crystal dumpling in her left hand and the grape in her right, she ate until her hair was dirty and her face covered in grease.

Faced with such a situation, Nangong Lin, who was beside her, actually drank his wine quietly and watched the singing and dancing. He did not seem to feel that Yan Xiaoxi's actions were weird or embarrassing at all.

"What does Princess Lin think of this?" Nangong Xiao frowned. Just now, her attention had been on Nangong Lin, so she had not paid any attention to her daughter-in-law who had just entered.

It was fine if he didn't look at her, but at a glance, he felt that this woman looked a bit like her.

However, looking at the mesmerizing look on Yan Xiaoxi's face, he quickly rejected that idea.

Yan Xiaoxi, who had been eating, did not expect that other than delicious food and a beautiful man, other things would also be related.

She wiped off the grease at the corner of her mouth and swallowed the pastries in her mouth. She looked at the crowd with an expression of helplessness as she blinked innocently at Nangong Lin beside her.

"Xi Er is not feeling well today, Xue'er might as well choose someone else." Nangong Lin saw through Liu Zhixue's thoughts with a single glance. Her goal was nothing more than to humiliate Yan Xiaoxi.

Liu Zhixue's dance was very unique, sometimes slow, sometimes gentle, sometimes strong. Even an expert in the zither arts would not be able to follow her, let alone Yan Xiaoxi, who might not even know how to play the zither.

"Xue'er and Princess Lin seem to know each other at first sight. Thus, they wanted her to accompany me in the performance." Liu Zhixue naturally would not miss this perfect opportunity.

Everyone had seen all of this, and they all understood that Liu Zhixue was deliberately making things difficult for Yan Xiaoxi.

"Princess Lin, why don't you give this crown prince some face and accompany Xue'er for this performance?" Nangong Zhen originally did not want to meddle in other people's business, but once this matter involved Nangong Lin, his interest was piqued.

Firstly, I really want to see your peerless dance. Secondly, I can use Yan Xiaoxi to poke at Nangong Lin's spirit.

Even the words of the birthday star caused the situation to enter a white-hot phase.

"If Eldest Miss Liu doesn't mind if this wangfei doesn't play well, then this wangfei doesn't mind making a fool of herself." Yan Xiaoxi clapped her hands and walked out.

This was because she knew that no matter what she said, Liu Zhixue would comply. Her goal was to get her to play the zither.

Fine, if you want her to play, then play!

Suddenly, a brilliant smile appeared on Yan Xiaoxi's face. That sweet smile actually had a hint of conspiracy.

The speed at which the Imperial Palace was doing things made people sigh in amazement. When Yan Xiaoxi arrived at the center of the Imperial Palace, she had already placed a high quality zither there.

She slowly sat down and raised her eyebrows as she gave Nangong Lin a coquettish look, as if she was saying, "Look at me."

Nangong Lin smiled. He didn't understand what this Yan Xiaoxi was planning, but he was extremely at ease with her. This woman was strange and seemed silly, but she was actually extremely clever. She wouldn't do something that would make her suffer a loss.

"Is Miss Liu ready?" Yan Xiaoxi had already placed her hands on the zither strings.

Liu Zhixue nodded. As she looked at Yan Xiaoxi's attitude, which made her seem like an expert, she could not help but feel slightly more worried.

She had clearly probed before. Yan Xiaoxi had been nurturing her body on the mountain since childhood, so she shouldn't be able to play the zither. Could it be that she was just putting on an act?

While she was wandering, a melodious and melodious zither sound rang out from within the hall. Each tone was very melodious and refreshing.

Liu Zhixue also did not want to be outdone. She began displaying her dance, performing her absolutely beautiful dance with the music. In an instant, everyone's gaze was attracted by her.

"Alright." Nangong Zhen could not help but yell out.

This praise gave Liu Zhixue encouragement and made her twist her waist even more vigorously.

At this moment, he was completely immersed in the dance of Liu Zhixue. Yan Xiaoxi frowned, and her hands began to move faster, causing the originally melodious zither music to suddenly change and the rhythm to become faster and faster. However, everyone could clearly feel the climax and rise of her zither music.

Slowly, everyone's gazes moved from Liu Zhixue's body to Yan Xiaoxi's hands.

Yan Xiaoxi's zither seemed to possess some sort of magic, firmly attracting the ears of everyone present. They closed their eyes in enjoyment, having long forgotten the existence of Liu Zhixue.

Liu Zhixue, who was dancing, was not surprised by Xiaoxi's zither skills either. Within the four kingdoms, there should not be many people who could be her match.

In order to not lose to Yan Xiaoxi, Liu Zhixue had messed up her own tempo, causing it to be in complete disarray. Gradually, it turned into a situation where she was opposed to the role of guest.

Soon, Liu Zhixue had caught up to Yan Xiaoxi's zither music, using her dance to disrupt the harmony of the zither music, pulling everyone's attention back onto herself.

Yan Xiaoxi smiled. The rapid movements of her hands had suddenly stopped. The sound of the wind had changed from excited to gentle as water. In an instant, it was as if she had walked from the mouth of a volcano to the side of a clear spring.

On the other side, Liu Zhixue was performing her ultimate technique, spinning hundreds and thousands of times in circles. Her speed was extremely fast, as if she had been rolling on the ground like a wooden top.

"Ah!" Liu Zhixue cried out loudly. Her knees and elbows had been scratched, and a small amount of blood flowed out.

"Xue'er." Liu Zhitian quickly went forward to help his daughter up.

Even after the song was over, everyone still wanted to continue. When they realized that Liu Zhixue had been injured, she had already returned to her seat.

"Princess Consort Lin's zither music is truly marvelous." Everyone present knew that this official had studied Qin Su and had never even heard of him praising anyone. Yet today, he was praising Yan Xiaoxi.

It could be seen how superb her zither was. It was definitely on par with Liu Zhixue's dance.

No, it should be said that her technique was superior. Just now, everyone had seen that it was Yan Xiaoxi's zither controlling Liu Zhixue's dance.

"No, that's not it. This Concubine was just messing around." Yan Xiaoxi mischievously stuck out her tongue, stood up, and returned to her seat.
