Chapter 186 Dancing in Public

The Queen Mother and the Emperor both looked at the dancing woman in silence.

The faces of several princes looked strange, and they turned their heads to look at the Regent, but they saw Rong Yu drinking with his eyes downcast, and he didn't even look at the woman on the stage, so people had no idea what he was thinking.

The Regent Princess danced on stage in person?

The ministers fell silent involuntarily, quietly put down the wine cups in their hands, and secretly thought about what the Regent meant.

Let his princess dance for the Queen Mother, and show weakness and loyalty to the emperor in this way?

If so, does it mean that the Regent has planned to hand over the power of regent? Or, the Regent didn't know that his princess suddenly danced, and it was the Regent Princess who took the initiative to ease the relationship between the Queen Mother and the Regent?

However, no matter what the reason is, it is an extremely inappropriate act for the Regent Princess to dance in public. To put it more seriously, it is simply a disgrace to the royal family.

Does she think of herself as a dancer?

Everyone had their own thoughts, but they couldn't help looking at the woman in red in the middle of the red carpet.

The bright palace lanterns shone on the woman's slender and soft body. Her dancing posture was agile and soft. When she turned her wrist, the red silk ribbon on her wrist fluttered like a spirit snake. She stood on tiptoe and flexibly rotated her body. The wide skirt of her dance dress fluttered like a blooming red lotus.

The veil was lightly lifted, revealing the outline of the woman's beautiful face. It was clearly the daughter of the Nan family - the new regent princess Nan Xi.

At that moment, no one dared to deny that the woman's appearance and dancing posture were both beautiful beyond description.

However, the banquet was silent, and no one dared to stare at the regent princess blatantly. But the more they were shy, the more awkward the atmosphere became, forming a sharp and weird contrast with the girls' graceful and agile dancing posture.

Prime Minister Nan's face was particularly gloomy and ugly.

If it weren't for the fact that this was the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, he would probably lose control of his temper and slam the table on the spot.

It's so embarrassing! So embarrassing!

Except for the sound of stringed instruments, the banquet was so quiet that no other sound could be heard.

The overly quiet and strange atmosphere made the princesses and noble ladies on the side of the partition also notice something unusual.

Rong Miaomiao quietly told her maid to go and see what was going on. After the maid came back and whispered in her ear, Rong Miaomiao was stunned for a moment: "What did you say?"

The maid repeated in a low voice: "It's true."

Rong Miaomiao was shocked and felt incredible.

The Regent Princess danced in public?

This...

She subconsciously turned her head to look in the direction of Nan Xi's seat and found that Nan Xi was not there. This... This is simply immoral and outrageous. How can it be?

"Miaomiao, what's wrong?" Rong Le next to her said lightly, "What happened?"

Rong Miaomiao turned her head to look at Rong Le, her expression was a bit hard to describe.

Rong Le frowned: "What happened?"

Rong Miaomiao leaned over and whispered: "Nan Xi is dancing for the Queen Mother."

Rong Le was stunned. Nan Xi was dancing for the Queen Mother?

How is this possible?

During the banquet, a noble lady quietly stood up, stood behind the curtain partition and looked over, and was immediately shocked and speechless.

"The Regent Princess is dancing." Someone whispered this, and the noble ladies present were immediately shocked. Seeing that the Regent Princess's seat was empty, they became more and more suspicious and could not wait to get up to find out.

So soon, one after another, they squeezed behind the partition and, with the curtain covering them, blatantly observed the dancers in the middle of the red carpet.

"It seems that she is really the Regent Princess. This... This figure is so beautiful."

"And her dancing is skillful and light. It can be seen that she has practiced... But why haven't I heard that Miss Nan is such a good dancer before?"

"What kind of dance is she dancing? Flying Dance? It seems a bit like it, but also a bit different."

"I didn't expect the Regent Princess to be such a good dancer..."

"Are you all paying attention to the wrong point?" Rong Le stood aside and reminded them lightly of the most important point, "The Regent Princess is a royal lady. She danced in front of all the court officials. Does she not know the occasion or deliberately want to embarrass herself?"

Even if she is an unmarried woman, she has to pay attention to the occasion when dancing in front of the Queen Mother and the Emperor, not to mention that she has become a royal princess.

The mistress of the palace should be dignified and virtuous, presiding over the inner house of the palace, not showing her face like this, flirting, and pretending to be a prostitute in front of so many civil and military officials!

After she reminded them, several noble ladies fell silent and whispered, "Does the Regent know about this?"

"Shouldn't he know? There seems to be no reason for the Regent to let his princess dance for the Queen Mother..."

"In front of so many people, the Regent is so embarrassed that he will divorce her in anger?"

"The Regent loves the princess deeply, he shouldn't divorce her for this matter, right?"

"This matter? Is this still this matter? It's a serious matter, okay?"

Rong Le listened to the discussion of several noble ladies, narrowed his eyes slightly, and raised a sneer at the corner of his lips.

It would be best to provoke the Regent to be angry and divorce her directly.

The sound of stringed instruments slowly fell.

After the dance on the red carpet, the dancers knelt down again to salute, wishing the Queen Mother a long life and good health.

The woman in red elegantly arranged her dance clothes and bowed to the emperor and empress on the high throne: "I wish the Empress Dowager a long life and a long life for the Emperor."

Her voice was not loud. Because she had just performed a dance, her breathing was still a little rapid, and her voice seemed a little different from usual.

However, this abnormality was ignored.

When the voice fell, the entire imperial garden seemed to be quiet in an instant.

"The princess is thoughtful." The queen mother said in a light tone, as if with a little relief, "I like this gift very much."

The ministers were silent.

Like it very much?

Was the queen mother sure that this sentence was not a slap in the face of the regent?

After the queen mother said no need to be polite, the dancers retreated, and only the woman in red turned and walked towards the regent.

Everyone's eyes followed her involuntarily, and some people subconsciously turned their heads to look at Rong Yu, who was silent from beginning to end.

"Your Highness." The woman in red walked up to Rong Yu, her white forehead slightly sweaty from the exercise, "Do I dance well?"

A faint and strange fragrance permeated into his nose, Rong Yu slowly raised his eyes, his dark pupils were soaked with an icy color: "You dance well."

The expressions of the ministers froze slightly.

Dance well?

"Then..." The woman lowered her eyebrows, her tone seemed to be a little shy and happy, "I am a little tired, Your Highness, can you accompany me to walk in the imperial garden?"

Rong Yu put down the wine cup and stretched out his hand to her without saying a word, and the woman in red gently handed her hand over.

In the eyes of outsiders, they are really a loving couple.
