The melodious music was lingering, and the thinly dressed Hu girls were dancing a fiery dance.
This may be the customs and customs of the barbarian country. In the eyes of the people from the Kowloon Mansion from the Central Plains, such a dance is too bold and explicit and cannot be appreciated.
Xuan Xi, Tang Fengling and Ling Miaoyin found it even more unacceptable when they saw the Hu girls constantly posing in front of the men around them.
However, this is only for them from the Central Plains.
As native ministers of the Barbarian Kingdom, they obviously didn't feel much about this. They seemed to have become accustomed to it and even enjoyed it.
Jie Li, who was sitting on the throne on the high platform in the middle of the hall, was obviously such a person. I saw him looking at the dancing beauties below the main hall, with one or two gleams of light flashing from time to time in his eyes.
If he gets into the mood, Jie Li will drink wine to cheer him up, and he looks like he is enjoying himself.
At the end of the song, the dancers thanked each other and left the stage.
"Okay, good dance." Jieli cheered loudly, causing the surrounding ministers to also cheer and raise glasses to drink with His Majesty the Khan. The scene was extremely lively for a while.
Chen Yutian also gave Jie Li a glass of wine symbolically.
After drinking, Jie Li pointed to the dancers who had retreated to one side and asked Chen Yutian, "What do you think of the dance just now?"
Chen Yutian's expression condensed slightly.
He knew very well that Jie Li's question was not as simple as it seemed on the surface. This question seems to be asking myself about the quality of dancing, but if I really just answer this question in such a superficial way, I am afraid I will lose immediately.
After thinking about it, Chen Yutian smiled and said, "Your Majesty the Khan, I am not good at rhythmic dance, so I can only judge based on what I see and hear."
"According to my observation, this dance must be excellent, otherwise His Majesty, as the Lord of the Barbarian Kingdom, would not have applauded him many times. It's just that I come from the Central Plains, and the customs and customs are different from those of your country, so I can't I really appreciate the beauty of this dance, which is a bit regretful to say.”
When Jie Li heard this, there was a profound fluctuation in his eyes. The next moment, he suddenly burst out laughing, "What your noble envoy said is true. This dance is the most widely circulated dance in our country, but as you said, due to the different customs and customs between the Central Plains and our country, I can't even think of it. The noble envoy will definitely not be able to appreciate it."
Hearing this, Chen Yutian smiled and said, "Thank you for your understanding, Your Majesty."
Jie Li waved his hand gently and said, "However, since your Majesty can't stand the dance of our barbarian country, let's enjoy the dance of the Central Plains together."
Chen Yutian was slightly curious. Is it possible that there are still people in this Barbarian King's palace who can dance the dance of the Central Plains?
After all, the Western Region where the Barbarian Kingdom is located is far away from the Central Plains. Even if you really learn the dance of the Central Plains, you should learn it from the peripheral areas of the Central Plains.
However, due to the geographical location, the customs and customs of these areas have long been integrated, and the dances that have been handed down are not authentic Central Plains dances.
I wonder which kind of dance this dancer from the Man King’s Palace studied?
With curiosity, Chen Yutian and the others continued to look, and saw Jieli Khan clapped his hands slightly, and a woman walked into the hall.
She was dressed in clothes from the Central Plains region, with a white veil covering her face. However, judging from her graceful figure, this woman's appearance is not bad at all.
Seeing a woman wearing Central Plains costumes in this barbaric country immediately aroused the interest of everyone in the Kowloon Mansion. The next moment, the music suddenly started, and the woman danced with it, her figure was graceful and intoxicating.
She is like a banished immortal from the nine heavens descending to the mortal world. As she dances, she gives people a wonderful feeling of pure beauty.
What this woman danced was an authentic Central Plains dance, and it was also a dance music spread in the Xuandu Palace. Not only the people of Jiulong Mansion were immersed in it, but even the surrounding barbarian ministers were mesmerized by it.
When the song ended, warm cheers erupted in the hall.
The woman bowed slightly, thinking that Jieli had performed a barbarian etiquette. Jieli smiled slightly and said, "Your Majesty, how do you like this dance?"
Chen Yutian nodded, "That's great. I didn't expect that there would be such a person beside His Majesty. It's really an eye-opener for me."
Jie Li smiled and said, "There's something even more surprising to you, Your Majesty... In fact, this dancer is the seventh princess of our Barbarian Kingdom, Lang Yun."
The moment he finished speaking, the woman gently took off the veil on her face, revealing her true appearance.
This is a beautiful face. It has some features of a Central Plains woman and some characteristics of a barbarian woman. They are perfectly integrated into one face. Not only does it not look out of place, but it makes the seventh princess Your Highness, it adds a heart-warming beauty.
The moment Chen Yutian saw the seventh princess, his body suddenly shook!
Because, the appearance of these seven princesses is clearly that of the woman who greeted them with Yuan Lin at the gate of the Barbarian King's Palace, and her eyes were always on her.
"It turns out that she is the seventh princess..." Chen Yutian thought to himself.
At this moment, there was a sudden noise outside the main hall, and someone could faintly be heard shouting, "It's on fire, put out the fire quickly."
In the meantime, there seemed to be the whirring and popping sounds of burning flames.
Everyone in Jiulong Mansion frowned slightly.
Suddenly a barbarian guard walked in outside the main hall, and he spoke eagerly to Jie Li, "Your Majesty, it's bad, there's a fire in the cold palace..."
Jie Li immediately stood up from his seat.
…
…
The Cold Palace is located in the north of the harem, adjacent to the eighth princess Langling's bedroom.
At this time, three hours had passed since Lang Yue left Leng Palace. The palace that was still intact three hours ago was now a sea of fire.
The fire was burning fiercely, with the sound of wooden beams bursting and collapsing, and the sky was reflected in red.
Countless guards, chamberlains and maids around were all running around in a panic carrying basins and buckets to put out the fire. The scene was chaotic for a while.
The Dragon Lord and the Sword Master who stayed in the inner garden of the harem looked at the red sky from a distance and nodded slightly, "This fire is really big enough."
The sword master nodded and asked curiously: "Why don't you go over and help me?"
Long Zun smiled and asked, "Then why don't you go?"
The sword master looked at half of the red sky in the distance and said slowly, "I don't like the barbarian country very much, so I don't want to take action."
Long Zun smiled, "Me too. After all, I come from a temple, and my hatred for the barbarian country may be greater than yours. At this moment, I don't add insult to injury, so I have done my best to be benevolent."
The Sword Master also smiled. She thought for a moment and then spoke again, "But if we don't put out the fire, the body inside will probably be burned beyond recognition. It will undoubtedly be more difficult for your apprentice to find out the truth."
"What's the point? If such a problem can stump him, then he is not worthy of being the son of Duke Chen. Besides..."
When Long Zun reached this point, he suddenly stopped talking. Instead, he looked at the half of the night sky and fell into deep thought.
When Chen Yutian, the others, and Jie Li arrived at the Cold Palace, the fire at the scene had been brought under control. Although a few of the guards guarding the palace were injured, fortunately, they were all unharmed.
The black-robed Imperial Master who came with Jie Li and Yuan Lin, who was in charge of Tai Palace, summoned a few uninjured guards to inquire about the cause and effect.
"It's Concubine Ling. She somehow broke out of the Cold Palace, injured several of our brothers, and then burned down the Cold Palace and escaped." The palace guards said.
"What?" Jie Li was shocked after hearing this and began to ponder slightly, "Concubine Ling actually did such a thing?"
The black-robed Imperial Master took the opportunity to speak, "Your Majesty, Concubine Ling must have known about the arrival of the Jiulong Mansion and was afraid that her crimes would be exposed by them, so she burned down the cold palace and fled in fear of crime. Your Majesty, please make a decision early and issue a wanted order to arrest her. Sinful concubine.”
Jieli didn't respond, just narrowed his eyes and looked at the pair of burned ruins quietly.
Chen Yutian looked at the black-robed Imperial Master. Although everything this person said was a reasonable guess, after it was revealed that he used a scam to become the Imperial Master, he naturally took it a step further.
From this basis, and looking at the words of the Imperial Master, Chen Yutian felt a blatant malice.
Yes, it's malicious.
Although the Imperial Master's words seemed to be a compliment to the Jiulong Mansion, upon in-depth analysis, it was immediately discovered that his remarks were simply malicious.
Although he insisted that Concubine Ling was guilty, the implication was that the fire in the Cold Palace and Concubine Ling's escape were attributed to the arrival of Jiulong Mansion. To put it more bluntly, it was because of your visit to the Jiulong Mansion that Concubine Ling was afraid that her crimes would be exposed, so she burned down the cold palace and fled in fear of the crime.
Although this is some malicious speculation, some people can't help but think so, especially the more suspicious and cautious people.
After thinking about this, Chen Yutian came directly to the ruins of the burned-out Leng Palace.
He wanted to see if the fire was really what the guards said, whether the concubine Ling set it on fire, or whether someone deliberately set it on fire.
