Rebirth of the Phoenix Princess novel Chapter 535

Luo Qingyan paused a moment after asking the question, and then he said with a smile, "It was in fact her highness who actually helped me to find the most reasonable way to solve this problem up to now. She said if you were worried about the sons killing each other, why didn't you divided the treasure collection picture into several parts and let each of your sons keep one part by themselves? In this way, no one has the complete picture. So they can only watch the whole picture with each other then. Only in this way can they work together to get the treasure."

As soon as Luo Qingyan finished his words, Yun Shang saw that Liu Jin's face changed with a bit of anger in his eyes. Luo Qingyan continued to laugh and said again, "I don't know whether the seventh Prince really colluded with the imperial guards in private or not. But the safety of the imperial guards is the safety of the emperor. The safety of the imperial guards is of course very important, so the imperial guards can't have any problems at all. As for the seventh Prince, we haven't found out the truth yet. Today is the Empress' birthday party. The seventh prince should be released for now. We will decide whether he is guilty or not after everything is settled."

With his eyes fixed on Luo Qingyan's face for a long time, Xia Huanyu smiled and said, "Prince Rui is quite reasonable. Come one, someone go bring the seventh Prince here and tell him to wash himself before going to the Taiji Palace."

"Yes, your majesty." Liu Wenan immediately answered and then he went to the door and told the guards about this order.

Xia Huanyu then continued, "the imperial guards are of great importance. I know many people are planning to fight for the imperial guards. Since Prince Rui proposed it today and came up with such a good idea for me, I should make some plans about it as well. I'll divide the Imperial Guard's token into three parts. They are under the charge of Master of the court Liu, Field Marshal Su, and Lord Hua Guo. Except for my own orders, each of you has to show your own token for recruiting and making orders."

Yun Shang turned around and saw Luo Qingyan's smile. She was very happy, too. As she had expected, Xia Huanyu wouldn't do anything to the seventh prince. It would probably just be a small punishment. The results were unexpected as the imperial guards were only a set of go chess in the hands of the seventh prince, which could play an important role for him in critical moments. Now, Luo Qingyan had easily destroyed his plan. Moreover, the token was divided into three parts. Lord Hua Guo was given one of them, which gave him the chance to return to the court. In the past, Lord Hua Guo had no real power in the court, so even if Xia Huanyu liked his Prince Rui more, the court members didn't obviously show much respect to him. From now on, his highness will gradually established his own force with Lord Hua Guo as his back, and the situation in the court must have changed greatly.

No matter how they were feeling, the three of them stepped forward and took the decree from the emperor.

The empress watched them get back with a frown. When the three men were back on their seats, she said to the emperor with a smile, "today is my birthday. I think we'd better not solve these problems of court in my birthday party, right?"

Hearing this, Xia Huanyu turned around and looked at the empress. With a slight smile, he said, "you are right. I heard that you also prepared a special dance for us?"

The empress smiled and slowly nodded her head. "It's true. A few days ago, Lord Hua Guo and Prince Rui got rid of the rebellion of the Ya clan without any soldier. I remembered that the Ya clan members are good at dancing, and Lady Shu was good at dancing before. So I picked up some dancers from the girls from the Ya clan and made them show us a dance to make all of us happy."

"Really?" Xia Huanyu raised his eyebrows and looked at Lady Shu aside, whose face was a little pale. He paused for a moment and said, "Lady Shu was really good at dancing, but because of her body, I have never seen her dance in the past few years. Today when the empress said this, I still miss her dance. Come on, invite them to come and dance. Let me have a look and see if it's true that all women of the Ya Clan can dance and sing as it is said."

The empress smiled and nodded her head again. She clapped her hands, and the servants walked into the hall in succession, with the lantern in their hands. They walked to the pillars and blew out all the lights in the hall. The hall immediately became much dimmer, and the only light in the room was weak and red.

As the music started, a woman in white flew in, her body leaning back. Then, several other women danced in, and surrounded her in the middle. The woman in white then straightened up, wearing a veil, and her eyes filled with emotions.

Yun Shang saw it clearly. The whole dance was said to be shared by all the young ladies from the Ya Clan, but only the real ones who were dancing was this woman in white. Her eyes were beautiful, but when it came to dancing, she was much inferior to Ning Qian. The empress had recommended the beautiful woman to his Majesty in her birthday banquet. The empress came for the sake of winning his Majesty's favor. When the music was over, the lights in the hall were on again. All the people were immersed in dancing. The dancing women went to the hall and bowed to Xia Huanyu, "Your Majesty, good morning, your majesty. Congratulations!"
