Chapter 1382: Backing

Consort Liu De's face turned livid with anger when she heard Lin Yuelan's question. She looked at Lin Yuelan and asked through gritted teeth," Princess, are you joking about diplomatic relations with the Black Clouds Kingdom? Is this a joke you can afford to make?"

Lin Yuelan retorted coldly," Consort De, this is just a personal talent show. What does it have to do with the diplomatic relations between the two countries? Or is it that as the concubine of the Longyan Kingdom, the relationship between you and Princess Linglong of the Black Cloud Kingdom represents the diplomatic relations between the two countries? If that's the case, for the sake of the diplomatic relations between the two countries, I can ask the general to sacrifice his precious time and accompany Princess Linglong for a song. How about it?"

Upon hearing Lin Yuelan's words, both Consort Liu De and Princess Linglong's faces turned pale instantly!

Lin Yuelan's words hit the bull's eye. It was too much for them and too disadvantageous!

The two of them were just concubines and princesses. How could they represent the diplomatic relations between the two countries?

Otherwise, it would be treason and heresy!

Lin Yuelan was obviously trying to frame them!

It was really hateful, extremely hateful!

Consort Liu De instantly understood why Imperial Consort Zhou and the Third Prince's faction had lost so inexplicably and so embarrassingly!

Such a sharp-tongued woman, such a smart and cunning person, how many people could be her match?

Seeing that the situation was out of control, Consort Liu De knew that she could not force it anymore. Otherwise, if someone with ill intentions caught her and said that she was rebellious, the consequences would be serious.

At the thought of this, Consort Liu's expression froze. She immediately put on a fake smile and said," Princess, why are you making it sound so serious? Since the Great General was unwilling, then forget it!"

Lin Yuelan might know how to play the Xun. But even if she did, would Princess Linglong dare to ask her to play the instrument?

However, Lin Yuelan did not give up." No! Princess Linglong said that she wanted my fiancé to play the xun as an accompaniment, but my husband wasn't willing, so I had to do it myself. This was to prevent people from saying that she had affected the normal diplomatic relations between the two countries in the future! This princess cannot bear such a huge crime!"

Consort Liu De almost fainted from anger at Lin Yuelan's words.

It seemed like Lin Yuelan was really going to challenge her.

She had already conceded, but she was not going to let it go!

What the hell does she want?

Consort Liu De's hands were tightly pinching her thighs through her dress. Her face was pale and flustered.

For a moment, she did not know what to do.

Princess Linglong, Xiao Jingyu, did not expect that Lin Yuelan would be so ruthless. It was just a dance, a song, and a man. Yet, Lin Yuelan had gone to such great lengths to embarrass her. She was even willing to charge her with treason!

However, she did not know what to do now. How could he refute?

Just as the two of them were at a loss, the Crown Prince, who Xiao Jingyu had praised as gentle, elegant, and humble, suddenly said," I know how to play the xun. If Princess Linglong doesn't mind, I'll play a song for you. How about it?"

"No, of course not!" Xiao Jingyu agreed eagerly.

At this moment, the words of the Crown Prince of Longyan Kingdom were like a life-saving straw. Xiao Jingyu held on tightly.

She was determined to get Jiang Zhennan!

But that was when she had the upper hand.

Lin Yuelan's words were obviously coming for her life. Compared to her life, a man was nothing!

However, she still did not want to give up on Jiang Zhennan.

As long as she had the chance, she would definitely snatch him away from that hateful woman!

No one knew what Xiao Jingyu was thinking!

Because of the Crown Prince's sudden rescue, Xiao Jingyu's dance soon began to dance under the Crown Prince's accompaniment.

Lin Yuelan was sitting in her seat. She opened her mouth and took the peeled grapes from Jiang Zhennan while enjoying Xiao Jingyu's dance.

Even Lin Yuelan couldn't help but praise Xiao Jingyu's dancing.

She was wearing a scarlet dance dress. It seemed that she had come prepared. Otherwise, why would she bring her own dance dress into the palace?

Her dance was like a dream. The joints of her whole body were as flexible as a snake, and she could twist freely. Suddenly, she flung open her sleeve, causing countless flower petals to flutter down from the sky. The petals swayed gently, spreading the scent of agarwood.

"Tsk tsk, Princess Linglong's dance is indeed not bad!" While Lin Yuelan was eating, she would occasionally comment and praise her sincerely.

And she did not hide her praise!

Many times, when the guests heard Lin Yuelan's " compliments ", they noticed that Princess Linglong paused several times while she was dancing. Then, she continued dancing.
