Chapter 32 - 32. The Emperor II

Hong er POV

After the dancers finished dancing, they retreated and now was the time for the officials' daughters or sons to show off their skills. I just sat here watching the drama unfold. There was a girl with a light pink dress who stepped forward, she smiled sweetly at both of the crown princes. She is quite a beauty, she had an impression of a fairy. Maybe she is around 10 years old, and she already wants to find a marriage partner. No matter how dense I am, I can still feel those flirtatious glances towards the crown princes.

Li Qianzi: " Greetings to Your Majesty. I have a performance that I want to show to Your Majesty. I hope Your Majesty enjoys the performance."

Emperor: " Uhm, good."

Servants put a guqin in front of her and a chair behind her. She gracefully sat down and put her hand on her guqin. She closed her eyes and opened it. She moved her hands and started to pluck the strings. Everyone seemed to enjoy her performance, they praised her silently. I looked at mother and saw her having this bored look.

Bai Huiqing: " What are they praising so highly for? Hong er can play better than that."

My face became red underneath the mask, even though mother said it with the voice that only the three of us could heard, but it was still embarrassing. I was so embarrassed that I didn't realize the girl had stopped playing. The clapping sound surprised me. The people said ' good good', I only lightly clapped.

I saw the Da Chu crown prince looked at her with a smile on his face, the girl looked at him shyly. Are they lovers? But when she looked over to Da Qi crown prince, she was disappointed and suddenly glared at me. I was confused but when I looked at Da Qi crown prince, he was talking with his aide.

Emperor: " Hahaha, as expected of the Music Prodigy. Reward!"

Li Qianzi: " Thank you very much, Your Majesty."

She bowed and went back to her seat. Then a girl came in from of the door, she was wearing a light blue dress. Is she going to dance? She bowed to the emperor and the emperor nodded. She was dancing elegantly but there was some flirtatious meaning in it. Like the way she bended her body to make her bottom and chest look bigger.

I sighed, ' why are all of them so crazy about guys?' I was getting bored so I talked to father and mother. Just like usual, the emperor rewarded her with accessories and gold. ' Are they showing off their wealth to Da Qi crown prince?' I sighed again. They didn't know that Da Qi crown prince is 3 times wealthier than Da Chu.

I looked at Da Qi crown prince again but this time he was staring at me. I cupped my fist and bowed at him, he nodded his head at me and turn away. '?'

After the dance, there were many other performances like poetry, singing, drawing, etc. Just when all the performances finished, a fat minister that sat at the table opposite of us sneered at us.

Prime minister: " Hehehe, General Xu, why is your daughter so silent? Or is it because she can't do anything?"

The three of us didn't reply to him, we could only think about how can he be so stupid for a prime minister? He dared to openly offend Xu family in the public when the emperor himself didn't dare. He really got a leopard's gut. Everyone I this room has the same thought as us.

Prime minister: " Are you even sure that she is still pure after she lived out there with that body?"

' Hey! I am only 7 years old, what body do I have to seduce people? Even my b.o.o.b.s haven't grow yet.' I calmly sip my tea and listen to his crap. Everyone knew that this prime minister is utterly useless. His father is a genius and everyone respects him so much, including father. But after the coronation of the new emperor which is the emperor that sat at the throne just now, the genius prime minister and his eldest son died mysteriously. Leaving his useless son to inherit the prime minister's position.

Xu Tingfeng: " Mind your language, prime minister."

Prime minister: " What's wrong about my language?!"

Bai Huiqing: " It. Is. Disgusting."

Mother cold voice rang in the room, the room became more silent than when the emperor got angry. The prime minister froze, his hands started to tremble. His face changed from red to white, he shakily pointed his finger to mother.

Prime minister: " Just who do you think you are?! You are just a woman, your job is to serve man in the bed so shut your mouth."

Third person POV

*Crack

The cup in Xu Tingfeng's hand broke into pieces, his face was as black as ink. Xu Tingfeng glared at the prime minister. Bai Huiqing put her hand on his hand, she took the glass pieces from his hand. Hong er wiped his hand with her handkerchief. The on looker were touched by the harmonious family.

The prime minister was afraid of Xu Tingfeng but when he thought about his position and status right now, he became confident that Xu Tingfeng couldn't hurt him. He thought that the emperor would help him because the emperor had helped him to get this position by helping him kill his own father and brother.

Prime minister: " How dare you ignore me you s.l.u.t?! And do you serve men with that s.l.u.t daughter of yours?! Hah! Look at how she pretends to be pure but actually she slept with men to survive out there?!"

The ground was shaking uncontrollably as soon as he finished talking. They could see the aura that was coming out from Xu Tingfeng and Bai Huiqing. But there was a stronger aura than those two. The aura was suffocating, the prime minister could hardly breathe. The prime minister fell from his seat. He was struggling on the floor, his fat was jiggling as he struggled.

Hong er: " Enough."

All the aura disappeared, the ground had stopped shaking. The prime minister could finally breathe again, his hair was in disarray making him looked like a beggar. He was panting on the floor without realizing his messy appearance. Hong er stepped forward and stopped in front of the prime minister.

Hong er: " If the prime minister said that I was too silent, then could you please tell me what I should do?"

The prime minister was scared out of his wit, he crawled backwards until his back hit a chair. He pointed at Hong er and shouted.

Prime minister: " W-what did you do to me?!"

Hong er: " I didn't do anything."

Hong er's cold voice made him shudder. His mouth opened and closed, he kept doing that but not a word came out from his mouth. The emperor helplessly sighed.

Emperor: " Guards, come and take the prime minister out."

Two guards came in and dragged the prime minister out. He was too scared to call for help. After they couldn't see his figure anymore, Hong er turned to the emperor. She cupped her fist and bowed.

Hong er: " Your Majesty, as the prime minister didn't tell me what should I do, why don't His Majesty decide it for me?"

The emperor suspiciously looked at her.

Emperor: " Are you sure?"

Hong er: " Yes, Your Majesty."

Emperor: " Then I want you to dance."

Hong er bowed once again, " As you wish, Your Majesty."
