Chapter 169
The palace music of Zhou Dynasty was ethereal and magnificent when I first heard it, but it also had the problem of ancient music being slow and slow. After sitting for only a quarter of an hour, Lin Susu was already drowsy.

The compliments and praises of the surrounding ministers kept coming and going, and the Emperor of Zhou responded with a faint smile, creating a scene of harmony between the monarch and his ministers.

Suddenly a burst of extremely brisk music sounded, which sounded very modern.

Immediately afterwards, a group of dancers in short skirts came on stage happily, with their long legs exposed. The first woman in a black short skirt was Liu Ran.

Everyone present frowned in unison.

Everyone present here is either a well-educated academic or a century-old family member who has been deeply influenced by their family tradition. When they suddenly saw this scene, their expressions on their faces were already very ugly.

What's more important is that there are many envoys from other countries at today's warm winter banquet.

How appropriate is this behavior to appear at a state banquet that is known for its solemnity? Isn't it just a laughing stock?
There were already several meaningful glances at the Prime Minister and King Wei.

Their faces were ashen, but since Emperor Zhou didn't say anything, they didn't dare to stop them.

So after the dance ended, Liu Ran panted heavily and looked around with great satisfaction. She found that everyone was silent and staring at her with dumbfounded eyes.

She curled her lips and smiled, secretly thinking that they are a bunch of country bumpkins who have never seen the world.

Silent.

"Clap clap clap!"

Emperor Zhou, who was sitting on the dragon throne, took the lead in applauding, smiling and nodding.

"What kind of dance is this? So new? I have never seen it before?"

Emperor Zhou's attitude broke the dead silence in the palace, and Lin Susu also recalled this episode.

After Liu Ran was given a marriage, she appeared in front of the public with a modern fast dance that shocked everyone.

"..."

Lin Susu suddenly began to doubt the authenticity of what was written in the original book. This stagnant atmosphere and condemning eyes could not be related to the word "amazing".

Looking at Zhou Huang's reaction, she had to admire the strength of the heroine's halo. If it were a passerby who had jumped, he might have been kicked out and beaten to death with sticks.

And the heroine was actually appreciated by the emperor.

Liu Ran Yingying bowed and raised her head innocently.

"Back to Your Majesty, now that people from all over the world come to congratulate me, they all rely on Your Majesty to be wise and brave in running the country and bringing peace to the country."

"This is what I want to do. I specially take advantage of today's banquet to dance to Your Majesty! I wish Your Majesty your Majesty will be forever strong and live forever!"

"Hahaha!"

Emperor Zhou raised his head and laughed, pointing at the Prime Minister and sighing, "The Prime Minister really raised an eccentric daughter. I have never heard such straightforward and bold flattery!"

The ministers were all scholars, and even if they flattered them, they were subtle and elegant. It was strange to see the heroine being so unpretentious in flattering them all of a sudden.

"How could your Majesty say such things to my daughter!"

Liu Ran covered her face and stamped her feet shyly.

Seeing the atmosphere gradually melting, Concubine Chen's face brightened slightly.

But she is still not very good-looking. Her future daughter-in-law wears revealing clothes and behaves boldly in public, just like a flower girl.

Seeing the mockery on Concubine Yue's face that could not be concealed, she wished that someone would immediately drag this shameful thing out and kill her with a cane.

Emperor Zhou liked Liu Ran's tone very much, and he condescended to make some jokes with her.

Liu Ran suddenly looked at Lin Susu with curiosity and innocence, and said charmingly, "Is this Miss Lin who is going to marry His Highness Prince Li? Has Miss Lin prepared any talents to present to His Majesty for today's banquet?"

As soon as these words came out, dozens of pairs of eyes in the hall fell on Lin Susu, but after a few breaths, they looked away again.Without him, Zhu Yan's presence is really too strong. Even though his expression is indifferent and his posture is sloppy, he is like a god, making people dare not look directly at him.

The original smile on Emperor Zhou's face dissipated little by little, and he looked at Zhu Yan with a hint of fear in his eyes.

Zhu Yan tapped the tables carelessly with his fingertips, and said in a soft tone, "Talent? Why does my wife, the king, need to be like a flower girl and practice flattery?"

As soon as these words came out, Liu Ran's whole family and Zhu Chan were scolded. The flower girl's family and husband were not cursed!
Facing the strange gazes of the ministers and nobles, Liu Ran wished he could faint on the spot.

Lin Susu almost laughed out loud. You said, you just want to be in the limelight. If you insist on provoking Zhu Yan, aren't you deliberately making yourself uncomfortable?
Zhu Chan's face turned dark and green, then blue and purple. He glanced at Lin Susu and Zhu Yan with resentful eyes. Then he glanced at Liu Ran with a sinister look, which made him lose all face. He stood up and raised his hand to Emperor Zhou. He made an excuse and went straight out of the hall.

Emperor Zhou, who was originally quite amiable, now looked gloomy.

He glanced at Zhu Yan, glanced at Lin Susu, and then looked at Liu Ran indifferently.

"Go down!"

He dismissed her with one word.

Liu Ran gritted her teeth, wondering why the development of things was different from what she imagined?
Shouldn't it be that Lin Susu, this idiot, has no merit and is in disgrace?
At this time, she finally realized that she had said something wrong, but she didn't know where the mistake was, so she could only hide her resentment, bow her eyebrows and bow down before retreating.

After the interlude just now, the solemn palace music was played again, and the atmosphere gradually became more joyful.

After staying for a while, Lin Susu was really bored, so she excused herself to change clothes and was led out of the hall by the palace maid.

Perhaps it was because of the grand banquet at the Lama Temple that there were far fewer patrolling guards and eunuchs and maids outside.

Lin Susu rolled her eyes and realized that now was a good time to explore the 'Heart Key'.

She pretended to finish changing her clothes, walked to the imperial garden, and said to the palace maid who led the way, "I just drank some wine and am feeling a little dizzy now. Please take me to a secluded place to sit."

The palace maid took the order and led her to a pavilion. There were few people around, and there was a large bush of small-leaf silk bamboo covering the pavilion. It was indeed extremely quiet.

Lin Susu was secretly satisfied and pretended to be unsteady while walking. The palace maid hurriedly stepped forward to help her, but as soon as she touched her wrist, she suddenly fell into a trance and froze on the spot.

Lin Susu looked around and made sure there was no one there, so she took out the detector, adjusted the detection range to the maximum, covered herself with a layer of stealth skills, and jumped onto the roof.

The wind was rushing past her ears. The speed was fast, and the detection range was large. It didn't take long for Lin Susu to cover the entire palace.

When she returned to the pavilion, she put away the detector in frustration.

Strangely, the heart key is not in the palace!

It seems that she has to find a way to let Emperor Zhou or Concubine Yue reveal the location of the heart key by herself!

Thinking of the Gu insects that were exchanged that day, the corners of Lin Susu's lips curled up in a sly arc.

Hearing a subtle flapping sound falling on the pavilion, she spoke in a good mood.

"Come out, you've been with me for so long, it's really hard on your little arms and legs!"

After a moment, a dark thing circled down and said flatteringly, "My lord is wise and mighty, but I was just impressed by your beauty, so I followed you involuntarily."

Lin Susu turned her head to look at the crow that had landed on the railing, sat down slowly, and said disgustedly, "Tell me, why are you following me?"

"If you dare to talk sweet words and talk nonsense..."

She smiled softly and stared at it with cold eyes.

The crow's eyes rolled around, and he swallowed hard, then hesitated for a while, reluctantly saying.

"Master, let the little one follow you."

Lin Susu, "...??"
