The Useless Miracle Doctor Consort Is Spoiled Rotten by the Prince!

Chapter 1553: Chapter 1548: A Dance Shocks the World

The consent of Qin Muyan surprised everyone. Qin Ge saw the look of loss in his eyes, while Li Bo was secretly delighted. With a warning glance, he reminded Li Yunshu to behave herself tonight.

Li Yunshu nodded, taking Li Bo’s meaning to heart, but sitting next to Qin Muyan, her heart felt as if it were soaring in the skies.

She gazed at the man beside her, striking and tall, with a look of infatuation that reached its pinnacle.

When she was younger, she had been this close to him. Now, at last… she was sitting by his side!

But before her joy could last long, the music in the hall began to play again.

The current melody was not as stirring and spirited as the one during her sword dance just before—this dance music was lingering, a melodious sound so tender and lovely that it settled the majesty that had been stirred in their hearts.

As everyone wondered, dancers in flowing gossamer gowns gracefully brought a large drum to the center of the stage. After placing it, they stepped back to the sides, extending their arms in preparation to welcome what was next—and suddenly—

A ribbon flew to the roof of the great hall; a woman with a graceful figure holding the ribbon danced into the air.

She flew across the room, drawing a beautiful arc in the air, and scattered a sky full of petals, like a fairy descending, astonishing everyone!

“My goodness! Is it a fairy descending from the heavens?”

“So beautiful!”

“Look, she landed on the drum surface. She’s so light, not a sound was made!”

Wearing a golden phoenix dance costume, Rong Yun flexed her slim waist with tiny steps, showed off her fair wrists through the gossamer, and with the tips of her toes lightly tapping, she danced airily like a phoenix soaring in the nine heavens, her form slender and alluring.

Nobody expected her to make an entrance like this, so captivating and mesmerizing!

From the moment she appeared, Qin Muyan’s gaze was tightly locked onto her. His heart was thoroughly captivated, and both his eyes and his heart were fixed upon her, unable to move away.

He was astounded by her enchanting dance, yet he also worried she might fall from the thin drum surface, which seemed hardly capable of supporting someone’s weight for long.

But Rong Yun was so astonishing that, when her dance finished, not only did she not fall, she even managed to bend her knees slightly on the drum surface with grace and ease.

She looked up towards where Qin Rulie was seated above, her voice gentle, “This secondary consort, Rong Yun of the Scarlet Flame King, offers the ‘Phoenix Dance in the Nine Heavens’ as a tribute for the emperor’s eternal blessing and longevity.”

Qin Rulie was still in shock until the empress called out to him and gently reminded him, then he suddenly burst into laughter.

While applauding, he laughed, “Excellent, indeed excellent! This birthday banquet is truly spectacular! Princess of the Scarlet Flame King, such a Princess of the Scarlet Flame King!”

The entire Moon Splendor Hall was dazzled by Rong Yun’s dance!

For everyone present, led by Qin Rulie, the common perception of Rong Yun had always been that of a young girl who had just married into the Great Wei Dynasty, unassertive and willfully proud.

However, to everyone’s surprise, in just two years, she had blossomed into a radiantly beautiful and elegant woman. Describing her as a nation’s beauty wouldn’t be an exaggeration at all!

“The Princess of the Scarlet Flame King, so beautiful and moving, has even touched Her Majesty’s heart!”

The empress looked at Rong Yun, her eyes full of gratification. She turned to Qin Rulie, “Emperor, the dance of the Princess of the Scarlet Flame King is an unprecedented beauty we have never seen before. Her dance atop the drum is an indication of exceptional skill, indeed the foremost beauty of our Great Wei. You must reward her well!”

Qin Rulie nodded repeatedly, “Naturally, a grand reward is due. She may choose whatever she likes from the tributes of various nations!”

“Boom——”

The hall erupted in astonishment.

What an extraordinary honor this was!

Even for the Scarlet Flame King, the emperor had never publicly announced that he could freely choose from the tributes of other nations.

This showed just how much the emperor and empress adored Rong Yun.

Rong Yun kowtowed in thanks, “I thank the emperor and empress for your generous gifts.”

She descended from the drum surface, her steps light, still tender and lovely.

But before she could take two steps, Qin Muyan, like a whirlwind, swept up to her side, holding onto a large cloak, and wrapped her tightly and firmly in his embrace, lifting her up.

When Qin Muyan was about to carry her back to their seats, Xie Qing You shouted, “Mu Yan brother, what’s the rush? We haven’t had a good look at the Princess yet! Don’t be so stingy!”

Tonight, Rong Yun is so beautiful that not even fairies descending from heaven can match her!

Everyone wants to take a good look at her!

Yet Qin Muyan seems unwilling to let them have even one more glance at her.

Qin Muyan turned his head, glaring fiercely at Xie Qing You, “Do you want to die?”

Xie Qing You instantly felt a chill down his neck and sat back down hunching, “I can’t afford to offend.”

When his brother Mu Yan gets fierce, it’s truly terrifying!

Qin Muyan carried Rong Yun back to their seats, where Li Yunshu was still sitting, making it somewhat crowded.

Qin Muyan glanced at her and said in a low voice, “Go back to your own seat.”

Li Yunshu’s heart felt as if it was being stabbed fiercely, bleeding from the pain. She bit her lip angrily, “Your Highness, this concubine can…”

“Step back.”

Qin Muyan said coldly.

There was another seat behind him, reserved for Li Yunshu.

Strictly speaking, at such an event, a secondary consort should not be seated at the main hall table, but Li Yunshu’s status had earned her a seat and special treatment. He didn’t want her by his side causing a disturbance now.

Just now, he had thought that Rong Yun would not come.

Li Yunshu, holding back her resentment, got up and retreated behind Qin Muyan.

When she stood up, she saw Rong Yun being held in Qin Muyan’s arms, and Qin Muyan’s careful and affectionate gaze ignited a raging jealousy within her.

Damn it!

Why doesn’t Rong Yun just die!

Qin Muyan, holding Rong Yun close, felt his heart pounding excitedly in his chest. Rong Yun’s head rested against his chest, and in a soft mumble, she said, “Qin Muyan, your heartbeat is so fast…”

She was a little scared.

That night, when he was pressing down on her fiercely, she could also hear his heartbeat like the sound of a drum.

Qin Muyan tried hard to contain the excitement within his body and pinched her cheek, “If you talk again, I won’t be able to restrain myself.”

Somehow, Rong Yun seemed to understand something.

She pouted and lowered her head sheepishly.

Normally, it would be quite improper for Qin Muyan to hold her like this during the palace banquet, but Qin Muyan insisted on it, and who could say anything to him?

Qin Ru Lie, happy from too much wine, celebrated with his subjects, and he didn’t reprimand Qin Muyan too harshly, letting him have his way.

The subsequent musical performances were not as captivating as Rong Yun’s dance, leaving everyone’s enthusiasm waning.

Tonight, no act could surpass Rong Yun’s.

This dance became legendary in the Great Wei Dynasty, and for years to come, the court officials would still enthusiastically talk about this stunning scene at banquets!

Of course, that’s a story for another time.

When Rong Yun tugged at Qin Muyan’s clothes, saying she had something she wanted to tell him alone, Qin Muyan used the excuse of being drunk and carried her away.

Xie Qing You looked at the half-filled cup of wine left in front of Qin Muyan and pursed his lips, “Since when is your alcohol tolerance so poor?”
