Chapter 44

“Well! Well!” Helian Jue returned to his consciousness. His eyesight to Tang Xia added a piece of appreciation.

Tang Xia danced with the last sentence of her singing and finally met Chu Tiankuo’s cold eyes. There was a deep and somewhat love in his eyes, roaring towards her.

King Nanchen, who was standing beside, was also showing out his greed in his eyes. Yue Ji was as beautiful as a fairy in his eyes.

In this world, there even was such an outstanding woman!

[Fans] Feet: Our anchor’s voice is awesome! It seems that my ear is going to be pregnant!

[Fans] The Temptation to Return to the Village: I have recorded it. Did anchor sing the version of Faye Wong? The temper is a little bit different. Did you refurbish it?

[Fans] Love Me: Refurbished +1. This is a lyric version. I feel it’s better than Faye Wong’s version!

[Fans] Nightingales: I will sell anchor’s original recording of the “Prelude to Water Melody”!

There was a piece of a smile in Tang Xia’s eyes. “Please do not laugh at my performance, Your Majesty!”

There was a piece of shock in Helian Jue’s eyes. “I always know your outstanding dance, but I did not expect that your song could be so melodious.”

His eyesight to Tang Xia was adding a touch of affection, which made Chu Tiankuo behind Tang Xia deepened his eyesight.

“Piracy goods, if Faye Wong heard your song, she could not sleep well.” Chu Tiankuo cold-shouldered her voice, while the candlelight in the palace softened his handsome face.

“What’s the relationship between you and Faye Wong? Why do you say something for her? I am creating a new history~” Tang Xia’s amorous eyes curved into a crescent, raising her eyebrows and looking at Chu Tiankuo.

“Sister, you still know that your performance would be laughed at.” It was Yi Jiazi’s voice, while her eyes were full of jealousness. “I heard that Yue Ji did not like poetries and songs, so the words you sang today are written by yourself?”

Yi Jiazi’s words alerted people’s disgusting emotions and raised their eyebrows. However, their attentions were successfully transferred to the problem of the original lyricist and looked at Tang Xia.

Qingling Archduke said nothing, but her eyesight on Tang Xia was more explored.

“Yi Jiazi, don’t be stupid anymore.” Helian Jue wore a hint of cool color, and even the sound dropped a few degrees.

Yi Jiazi lowered his body. “It’s not a fabricated rumor. Everyone in the harem knows that Yue Ji doesn’t like poetries and songs. It’s absurd that she said her performance would be a joke, it really turned out to be a joke.”

There were a few blue veins showing up on Helian Ju’s forehead. He planned to say something to scolded her, but stopped by Qingling Archduke.

“Let her go on.”

Qingling Archduke’s voice was indifferent and no one knew what she was thinking.

“If those sentences in this song are not written by Yue Ji, shouldn’t you give out a reasonable explanation to everyone present, sister? If you can’t tell us the writer, it means that, Yue Ji, you are playing all the emperors in this feast!”

In order to make Tang Xia embarrassed, Yi Jiazi deliberately emphasized the last words.

Tang Xia tightened her eyebrows, while two rows of her long eyelashes curled up under her eyelids, while looked like the wings of fluttering butterfly. She wore an indifferent smile. “Your words are too heavy, sister.”

Tang Xia deliberately slowed down her speed. “I don’t like poetries and songs, but don’t forget that, my sister, our emperor likes them so much.”

She smiled and her voice was crisp and powerful. “Since I can dress in blue for our emperor, why not learn the poetries and songs for him?”

She referred to the issue that she dressed in blue to compared with Lengmei.

“Sister, are you looking down upon me? Or else, you think that our emperor’s powerful qualities could not make me change for him?”

Just a few fluttering words could push back the crime to Yi Jiazi, and even Qingling Archduke changed her impressions to her somehow.

Yi Jiazi’s face turned pale. “Sister, you’re insulting me!”

“Enough!” A cold sound raised. Helian Jue’s face was cold and he stared at Yi Jiazi with more chill expression. “Since you have insulted Yue Ji for a few times today, are you hoping to be locked up for a few days more?”

Helian Jue’s words made Yi Jiazi tremble. She immediately stopped talking, which provoked King Nanchen’s dissatisfaction.

“Helian Jue, what do you mean? I sent Jiazi from my South Country to you, but don’t hope you treat her like this.”

He might still be angry at the matter that Helian Jue was unwilling to give Tang Xia to him, while his voice and words showed out his reluctance. “Today, you treat Jiazi like this. How would you treat my South Country someday?”

King Nanchen’s hustle made Tang Xia frowned. She stepped forward. “King Nanchen, Jiazi insulted me today for a few times. If she did not come from South Country, our emperor would let her go immediately for the crimes she has made.”

Tang Xia’s eyes turned cold. “King Nanchen, our emperor has stood her so long on the base of your deep friendship.”

Tang Xia’s words were sincere and powerful. Since it was a fierce battle of the tongue between the two emperors, it was not good to blame any side. If Yi Jiazi could be obedient to be a running stone between them, Helian Jue would do good to her after this issue.

However, Yi Jiazi was not willing to be scolded. She stepped forward and her eyes were full of tears. “What do you mean, my sister? On your words, I have made a sinful crime. You insulted me in front of the emperor of South Country. Have you cared about my face?”

Jiazi looked around with aggrieved expression in her eyes. Her voice was tender and soft, which could raise people’s sympathy.

King Nanchen deepened his eyes. “Brother Helian, since you treat my people of South Country like this, I don’t have to care about your face.”

A piece of coldness showed up by his mouth. “Jiazi, come over to my side.”

Yi Jiazi trembled, and looked at Helian Jue with expectation.

However, the latter did not say anything. Yi Jiazi clenched her teeth and stepped to King Nanchen’s back.

“Helian Jue, do you have anything to say?” King Nanchen’s eyes were full of coldness. He was sure that Helian Jue dared not tear his face with him. When he made him a pressure, he must put up a condition to ask for peace, so he could own Yue Ji as his imperial concubine.

Helian Jue did not move, while his eyebrows huddled in the shadows. The candlelight set his figure tall and straight. His dark robe floated with the breeze. Suddenly, he wore a cruel smile and raised his head, staring at King Nanchen.

“I do hope to oppress your South Country. So what?”

His words made everyone present stunned.

Helian Jue looked indifferent, while his eyesight was on King Nanchen. He was on the high platform and his figure was outstanding. The black robe with golden rims set his eyes more deeply.

Helian Jue’s answer was beyond King Nanchen’s expectation. The latter clenched his teeth angrily and said word by word. “This is what you said.”

“Yi Jiazi, let’s go.” King Nanchen shouted and the atmosphere instantly decreased to the freezing point.

Yi Jiazi was stunned. She had not expected it would turn to the present situation. “King Nanchen…”

“What? Are your hating to part with Helian Jue?” King Nanchen felt angry and his eyes were full of intolerant.

“Noisy!” The voice was from Qingling Archduke, which was higher than before. “You two are both emperors. How can you behave like kids quarreling for a small issue? Ridiculous!”

Qingling Archduke’s eyesight fell on King Nanchen.

“Come back and sit down. You should talk if you two have some misunderstanding. How could you lose your tempers out of so many people like the kids?”

Her words were still very useful. The hesitation on King Nanchen’s face was quickly suppressed.

“OK, I can care about your face.”

Everyone was back to his seat, but the atmosphere was a bit strange and quiet.

“All the imperial concubines should go back. Don’t stay at Xingyun Tower to interrupt us.”

Qingling Archduke’s voice was indifferent, while her eyesight passed by Tang Xia.

Tang Xia made a bow and no longer hoped to bother them.

The women in the palace got out one by one. Yi Jiazi was reluctant, but met Tang Xia’s amorous eyes when getting outside.

“We’ll see.”

Yi Jiazi said this sentence with her teeth clenching. Tang Xia took a long sigh.

“How could she still did not understand?” Tang Xia thought of it in her mind. When she turned around, she met Chu Tiankuo.

Under the candlelight of Xingyun Tower, his silver armor shone in golden brilliance. Tang Xia was stunned. When she came back to her consciousness, her head was heavily knocked by Chu Tiankuo.

“When did you come out?” Tang Xia raised her eyebrows and looked at the person in front of her.

There was a faint smile in Chu Tiankuo’s eyes. Tang Xia could clearly tell the irony in his eyes.

“Stupid woman,” he said in a slight tone.

“You even dare to confess your love in front of so many people. You’re getting bolder.”

He squinted his eyes and looked good as expected.

Tang Xia proudly raised her chin and her eyes were clear. “Of course.”

Their conversation ended, while Yi Jiazi slowly passed by Tang Xia with a woman.

“I didn’t think that it’s you, Guard Chu. Well, are you private with Yue Ji again?”

Tang Xia was somewhat displeased by her weird words, but still held her temper and said, “Yi Jiazi, you should talk more carefully. Spreading rumors in the harem could make you die in many ways.”

Yi Jiazi half opened her beautiful eyes without any cute appearance in front of Helian Jue. “How could I behave like that? My sister, you have become such powerful. How could I make any rumors of you?”

The woman beside her stepped forward. “Is this the Yue Ji you mentioned in your letter?”

Tang Xia glanced at the woman, whose beautiful hair was bun on the back of her head. A few whips of hair were hanging over her shoulders. Her eyes were deep and her nose was high.

She was a person from South Country.

“Who will I talk about except for her. She behaves arrogantly in the harem every day and shows off her outstanding talents.” Yi Jiazi wore a cold smile and if the jealous words in her mouth were the knives, Tang Xia would gain hundreds of wounds on her body.

“I have never shown off something.” Tang Xia tightened her eyebrows and her voice was cold. “Yi Jiazi, I’m always confused why are you always looking for the troubles for me? It’s because our emperor has not come to you for a long time? Can’t you behave like a crazy lobster in front of me?”

Yi Jiazi changed color, while a few imperial concubines passed by. She immediately changed her face again and his eyes were full of tears.

Tang Xia swang her hands and said, “Enough. I have watched too many of these kinds of performances. Are you tired of it? Are you afraid of face twitching if you change your face from time to time?”

Tang Xia gained a good mind, while her words were adding some irony.

“What if I am bullying you? What’s worse, I tell you I will make a direct punishment on you if you make more troubles again!”
