Chapter 554: Western Dancer
King Jin looked at Nangong Xuanyu for help: "Brother, look, these two girls are holding me up."
Shen Zhinian picked up the wine glass again and smiled without saying a word.
She was clearly ambitious, yet she managed to act like she was having fun. The acting skills of the royal family were no worse than hers.
Nangong Xuanyu said: "I am also curious, what gift did the King of Jin prepare tonight?"
Prince Jin smiled mysteriously and clapped his hands.
As a pleasant bell sounded, a beautiful woman in a dance dress danced into the hall.
Compared to the dignified and gorgeous palace dress, the dance dress she wore was extremely unique, colorful and gorgeous. The most eye-catching thing was... it was extremely unrestrained and bold!
Her top barely covered her chest, revealing her slender waist and navel. She had no sleeves, so her two long, white arms were also exposed. Her long skirt fell to the ground and was embroidered with gold.
She wore a veil of the same color as her dance dress, armlets on her arms, and an exaggerated pendant on her forehead and a gemstone necklace on her neck, which added a touch of exotic charm to her.
She looked different from the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Her facial features were very three-dimensional and delicate. Her eyes were very large, and her eyelashes were long and thick, like two small fans. Her nose was especially high.
The bridge of her nose and the corners of her lips were adorned with ornaments, and she stepped barefoot on the ground. As she twisted her waist, the small bells on her wrists and ankles jingled, making a clear and pleasant sound.
While dancing, this exotic beauty had seductive eyes and spring-like expressions, she was so outstanding!
Her dancing moves were as light as a snake, and her every frown and smile were captivating, as if she could grab everyone's attention in an instant!
Some admired it, some were amazed, and some looked disgusted.
Princess Yun An frowned, the disgust in her eyes was obvious: "It's against morals!"
With her leading the way, many people nodded and said, "This, this... a woman's feet should only be seen by her husband. How can this dancer dress like this?"
"Yes. It's offensive! It's really offensive!"
"Just looking at this outfit makes me feel so embarrassed!"
"And she seems to look different from us?"
"..."
Some people who have seen the world explained: "Judging from her appearance, this woman is definitely not from our Great Zhou, but a dancer from the Western Regions!"
The other person nodded and said, "I've heard that the customs of the people in the Western Regions are open-minded, and the women's clothing and dancing are extremely unrestrained and bold. Seeing it today, the rumors are indeed true!"
"It seems that this dancer is the New Year's gift from His Royal Highness Prince Jin to Your Majesty?"
"..."
Many palace concubines looked at Shen Zhinian with amusement.
Anyway, they are not favored, so whether there is one more beauty or one less beauty in the harem will not have much impact on them.
But the Empress Xianfei is different.
There are many beauties of different shapes in the harem, but none is as bold and unrestrained as this dancer.
What was most striking about the virtuous concubine was not her beautiful appearance, but her charming temperament. But this dancer from the Western Regions was even more charming and seductive than her!
If she were to enter the palace, Your Majesty would probably only see the new people smiling but not the old people crying.
Some people gloated over the misfortune, while others looked worried.
Shen Zhinian was thinking about something else.
In the previous life, the emperor's harem did have a foreign concubine, who was presented by the King of Jin. She even played a crucial role in the King of Jin's rebellion!
The King of Jin was very good at forbearance. Before the rebellion, he was loyal and respectful to the emperor. Who in the world would not say that he was a first-class wise king?
Since he had endured it for so many years, why did the King of Jin suddenly decide to rebel?
It was not because he had made perfect preparations, but because the emperor had evidence of his intention to rebel, so he had to rebel.
Otherwise, what awaits him is a fate of having his head and body separated!
Precisely because of insufficient preparation, the Prince of Jin, who had just raised an army, was defeated by the emperor's army and eventually became a stray dog.
Only then did the world know that the foreign concubine was actually a spy sent into the palace by the Prince of Jin.
The emperor had long seen through the ambitions of the King of Jin, so he took advantage of her and obtained a lot of evidence that was unfavorable to the King of Jin. In the end, he forced the King of Jin to rebel and fell into the trap!
The dancer in front of him was indeed the exotic concubine that Shen Zhinian had met at the palace banquet in his previous life.
After the dance, the dancer folded her hands in front of her chest, bowed, and said in the language of the Great Zhou: "Baharguli, I greet your Majesty!"
The King of Jin smiled and said, "Brother, I met Baharguli when I was traveling in the Western Regions. She is known as the most beautiful woman in the Western Regions, and her dance is so stunning that it can captivate the whole city!"
"I dare not possess such a beauty without permission, so I will present it to you tonight."
"I wonder if my royal brother is satisfied with this gift?"
From the moment Baharguli appeared, Concubine Shu's eyes were fixed on her.
After hearing what Prince Jin said, Concubine Shu's face became even gloomier, with disgust and displeasure written all over her face!
It's fine that the concubines in the harem compete with her for favor and status, but is a tattered, immoral dancer worthy of entering the palace to serve His Majesty together with her? !
Doesn’t Your Majesty favor Concubine Xian the most, and even forget about her?
So tonight, will you accept this gift?
For some reason, when Concubine Shu thought about this, she felt unhappy, but at the same time, a hint of anticipation arose in her heart.
If Your Majesty falls in love with someone else, will that bitch Concubine Xian be heartbroken?
She was really looking forward to seeing that scene!
Nangong Xuanyu sat high on the dragon throne, making it impossible to see the expression on his face.
He knew that the Prince of Jin seemed to be obedient and loyal to him, but how could anyone who survived the struggle for the throne be a simple person?
I'm afraid Prince Jin has never given up on seizing the throne!
However, even if Nangong Xuanyu was suspicious, he had no evidence.
He didn't want to be known as a cruel person, so he couldn't do anything to King Jin.
This dancer from the Western Regions must be the spy that Prince Jin wants to send into the palace!
The Prince of Jin wanted to plant a spy around him, and he also wanted to follow the clues and eliminate this great threat.
Perhaps this woman is a breakthrough.
Thinking of this, the emperor concealed the coldness in his eyes and looked at the Western Region dancer with a hint of imperceptible surprise: "How can I not be satisfied with the gift carefully prepared by the King of Jin?"
Then, he looked at the Western Region Dancer and said softly, "Your name is unique."
The dancer from the Western Regions smiled sweetly and tenderly, with a beautiful appearance: "Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty!"
"'Baharguli' means 'spring flowers' in the Western language."
Listening to the conversation between the two, King Jin picked up the wine glass and took a sip. Under his gentle appearance, he had a well-hidden ambition.
No man in the world can resist a beauty like Baharguli!
