Rebirth of the Phoenix Princess novel Chapter 536

Xia Huanyu smiled and said, "rise."

Then he clapped his hands, turned around, and looked at the empress, "this dance is extremely beautiful, but you rarely see a masked dancer on the stage..."

The empress laughed when she heard his words. "Since your majesty insist, let her take off her veil."

The girl in white raised her head and took off her veil after the empress' order.

The woman had curved eyebrows like the crescent moon, dark eyes, and slightly raised the corners of her eyes, which made her more attractive beyond description. Her nose was straight and delicate, and her cherry like mouth invited in silence, which made everyone in the palace somewhat absent-minded.

Yun Shang glanced at her and thought that she was not as beautiful as Ning Qian. The dance and the mystery of the veil surprised the people here.

Xia Huanyu didn't say anything. The empress smiled, turned her head and looked at Lady Shu, who had fixed her eyes on the woman's face. The empress then said, "to be honest, something is going on between this Miss Qing Ming and Lady Shu. According to Miss Qing Ming, they have known each other since childhood."

Hearing this, Xia Huanyu also turned to look at Lady Shu. Lady Shu smiled, but the smile was so faint that could not be seen in her eyes. "Yes, I am very familiar with Qing Ming. She is seven years younger than me, and the two families live close. She has been brought up by me since she was born."

"Really? I didn't expect that you have such deep friendship with her. " The empress turned to look at Xia Huanyu with a smile. "Your Majesty, lady Shu has been in a bad mood since Prince Qi went to the Qi City a few days ago. She may be in a better mood if her childhood playmate can stay by her side and share something with her."

Xia Huanyu withdrew his gaze and looked at the woman in white. "In that case, let's keep this Miss Qing Ming in the palace and stay in the Shuya Palace."

The woman in white bowed and expressed her gratitude to Xia Huanyu, "thank you, your majesty."

Yun Shang kept staring at Lady Shu in silence. There was not a hint of joy in her eyes though she said that she had known the woman called Qing Ming since childhood. In this case, the empress would not be so kind as to bring her childhood playmate to the palace to console her. The empress was probably dedicated to dealing with Lady Shu by using Miss Qing Ming.
