Chapter 83 Just Want to Reward the Moon

"Your Majesty, since it's the Mid-Autumn Festival today, it's unavoidable to watch the moon." Si Ningchi smiled, looked at Zhao Zongheng seriously and said, "It's a pity that it's cloudy tonight, covering up the moonlight."

"The concubine thought of a way and ordered Si Lefang to make up a dance to invite the moon." Si Ningchi looked at Zhao Zongheng with a smile and said, "The emperor accompanied the concubine to enjoy the dance outside the palace, okay~"

It is not a new thing for the queen to like singing and dancing in this palace, now the queen said that there must be arrangements for singing and dancing, Zhao Zongheng looked down at her and responded: "Since it is singing and dancing, why do you have to go out of the palace to enjoy the dancing? "

Si Ningchi took Zhao Zongheng's hand and said, "How can I enjoy the moon without leaving the palace?"

Zhao Zongheng raised his eyebrows, looking at the look of enthusiasm in Si Ningchi's eyes, as if he was going to take him to see something extremely interesting, the joyful smile on that face was so joyful and moving.

"Okay." Zhao Zongheng got up immediately: "That's it, my lords will go with me to see how the queen invites the moon with a dance."

"Yes." All the officials in the hall were also a little curious, and they all got up and followed the emperor out of the hall.

"Can the empress push the dark clouds away?" Empress Dowager Cui said with a sneer, "The Ai family would like to see what kind of ability the empress has to make the clouds open to see the moon."

"Then Empress Dowager, you have to watch carefully." Si Ningchi turned his head with a smile like a flower, and showed a very bright smile to Empress Dowager Cui. The smile hidden in his eyes made people think deeply.

Many people came to the open space outside the hall, the emperor and the empress stood at the front, and those who stood next to him said that the Empress Dowager Cui who was following closely, followed everyone out of the hall to stand still, and the sound of silk and bamboo sounded next to them, boom The sound of drums came from small to large, and the dancers who filed in were holding fire rings in their hands, so clearly visible in this night.

The flaming fire circle was approaching, and the frightened ministers couldn't help exclaiming, looking at the dancers who were extremely flexible waving the fire circle, as if they were afraid that they would set their dresses on fire.

With the sound of a drum, a brazier suddenly rose on the left side with a bang, and the fire that soared into the sky shone brightly, and then the brazier on the right also started to burn.

Dozens of men holding torches and wearing dance costumes filed in. The torches passed by in front of them, and everyone felt as if they were surrounded by flames, and the heat wave hit their faces , I have to say that these dancers are dexterous, and under the reflection of the fire, the twisting waists are really eye-catching.

Just as everyone was staring at the leading dancer, the dancer approached step by step, suddenly waved the fire ring in her hand, and passed in front of Empress Dowager Cui, everyone's eyes were terrified Look at the trajectory of the fire circle.

But, the next second——

"Ah!" There was a sudden exclamation from the crowd, and the palace lady who came from nowhere looked at Empress Dowager Cui in horror, pointed at the phoenix crown on her head tremblingly, and was so frightened that she lost her voice.

"Why is there blood on the empress dowager's phoenix crown!?" The exclamation sounded one after another, causing everyone to look sideways.

Empress Dowager Cui didn't know why, her heart trembled when she heard the exclamation, and she turned her head to ask what's wrong, but saw that everyone who was standing beside her took a step back involuntarily.

Empress Dowager Cui was about to speak when she suddenly felt something dripping from the top of her head onto her cheeks, which was a little hot but solidified when she touched it. This is...

Red candle wax oil?

The red orbs originally inlaid on the phoenix crown melted and dripped down one by one. The temperature of the brazier next to it was so hot that the red candle wax oil flowed down the phoenix crown. From a distance, it looked like the phoenix crown was stained with blood. It was weird and terrifying. .

"Look, the moon has appeared." Si Ningchi smiled coquettishly and lifted his chin, staring at the fine rubies on the phoenix crown melting and falling. The top of the phoenix crown was originally inlaid with fine rubies to form the pattern of a phoenix. Now When those gems fell, it suddenly became a blood moon crying blood.

Everyone around watched this scene gasped, Si Ningchi waved, took the torch from Shen Ting, and held it in front of the Empress Dowager, as if wanting to melt the red candle more thoroughly.

The red candle wax oil flowed down the phoenix crown, and Empress Dowager Cui's face turned white inch by inch under the light of the fire, she raised her eyes to look at Si Ningchi with strong resentment in her eyes: "It's you!"

Si Ningchi raised his lips and smiled: "So what?"

She moved a little closer, lowered her voice and looked at Empress Dowager Cui with a bright smile, with a wicked smile in her eyes, and said in a low voice: "If you have the ability, you let the emperor depose me~"

"Bitch!" Empress Dowager Cui was furious, and raised her hand suddenly to hit Si Ningchi.

"What's the matter with the Empress Dowager?" How could Si Ningchi be unprepared?

When Empress Dowager Cui made this move, she took two steps back, and said with an innocent and pitiful face: "The concubine just wants to reward the moon, why is the empress dowager still angry?"

Si Ningchi returned the torch in his hand to Shen Ting, with a dazzling smile, looking at the phoenix crown on the queen mother's head with such joy, he said with a smile: "Look, how beautiful the blood moon is."

Empress Dowager Cui was about to suffer from a heart attack, and she turned her head to look at Zhao Zongheng after a long while and said, "Your Majesty! Does the Emperor intend to sit idly by for such a vicious behavior of the Empress!?"

Zhao Zongheng: "..."

He watched this scene with deep eyes, and looked sideways at Si Ningchi slightly, but he saw that she was very interested, as if she was having fun, admiring the phoenix crown on Empress Dowager Cui's head, as if praising her own masterpiece.

"The empress is too stubborn." Zhao Zongheng lowered his eyes slightly and said in a low voice, "But..."

"The Queen Mother wears the wrong hair crown, and she should remember it long."

"I also watched the dance, and I also enjoyed the moon." Zhao Zongheng waved his hands calmly: "It's all gone."

"Come here, help the Queen Mother go down and change clothes."

Seeing the emperor's protective attitude, Empress Dowager Cui screamed angrily: "Your Majesty! Did the Empress expose it so easily when the Empress humiliated Aijia so easily!?"

"Aijia is the Queen Mother of Tianqing Kingdom!" Empress Dowager Cui screamed, such a ferocious look coupled with the phoenix crown full of red candle wax oil looked weird and frightening.

"What?" Zhao Zongheng turned his head, looked at Empress Dowager Cui with a fixed gaze, and said, "I need to put the queen's phoenix crown on your head so that it is not humiliating?"

"Cui Shi, do you mean to wear the phoenix crown today and the phoenix robe tomorrow, and be my queen tomorrow?"

"The queen mother is the queen mother, and the queen is the queen. You are wearing the wrong phoenix crown."

Zhao Zongheng looked cold, turned his head and said: "Come here, take off the phoenix crown and send the Queen Mother back to Ci'an Palace!"

Zhao Zongheng's eloquent words shocked the faces of all the people present, although it is well known that the emperor and the queen mother have been at odds for so many years.
