After she became a county magistrate, she took the ghost to investigate the case

Chapter 298 Sword Dance

As time was getting closer, the prime minister and others became a little anxious. They asked around where Li Siqi was from time to time, but no one knew.

"Regent, Princess Regent is here!" Suddenly, a notification voice came from outside the palace.

Everyone's faces lit up with joy, and they immediately knelt on the ground, "Greetings, Your Highness and Your Highness Princess. May Your Highness and Your Highness Princess live a thousand years and a thousand thousand years."

Xu Yingying was still a little uncomfortable with such a grand ceremony, but Li Siqi was calm and composed. He took Xu Yingying's hand and walked straight to the top seat, until they came to the seat under the dragon throne, and then they stopped.

Li Siqi first settled Xu Yingying down, and only then did he have time to deal with the ministers who were still kneeling below.

"Everyone, please stand up. There is no need to be polite. I have invited you here today to welcome the envoys from the Western Regions. Come on, summon the envoys into the palace!" Li Siqi's every move revealed the temperament of an emperor, and many ministers were dazed for a moment.

Ye Dina and her group soon arrived at the hall.

"Greetings to the Regent and the Regent Princess." Led by Ye Dina, a group of people from the Western Regions saluted Li Siqi and Xu Yingying.

Xu Yingying just felt secretly happy in her heart, especially when she saw the grievance on those people's faces, Xu Yingying was so happy in her heart. When she was in Wenwa, Xu Yingying was bullied by these people. Now looking at these people kneeling at her feet, Xu Yingying felt extremely satisfied.

"Please stand up. You are distinguished guests who have come from afar. There is no need to be polite. Today we are just here to welcome you. It will not involve any political affairs. I hope you can have fun." Li Siqi sat next to Xu Yingying. After he finished speaking, he handed Xu Yingying the orange he had just peeled.

When Ye Dina, who was sitting below, saw this, her eyes almost burst into flames, and the look in her eyes when she looked at Xu Yingying seemed to be drilling a hole in her body.

Xu Yingying noticed Ye Dina's gaze and raised her head to look at her, but what attracted Xu Yingying's attention was not Ye Dina herself, but what was behind Ye Dina.

From Xu Yingying's point of view, there was black air behind Ye Dina. She was shocked and looked carefully. It was not black air at all, but wisps of wronged souls. Judging from the number, there were definitely quite a lot of them.

Therefore, when she looked at Ye Dina again, Xu Yingying's eyes became more thoughtful. If a ghost was haunting someone, most likely that person was the murderer who killed her, or the person the ghost was obsessed with. But looking at the people following Ye Dina, Xu Yingying thought it should be the former.

It's just that there are so many people around now, Xu Yingying couldn't tell Li Siqi about this, so she had to keep it to herself. But according to Xu Yingying, the reason why Ye Dina was able to make Wen Wa surrender was probably because she used some violent means and killed many people.

Ye Dina was very disgusted with the way Xu Yingying looked at her, and asked aloud: "Why is the Regent Princess staring at me?"

Xu Yingying came back to her senses after being called by Ye Dina. Realizing her own loss of composure, Xu Yingying calmed down and said, "The princess is so beautiful, I was just fascinated by her for a moment. I hope the princess won't mind."

In response, Ye Dina sneered and ignored Xu Yingying's words. Instead, she stood up and walked to the center of the hall.

"This princess is new here and admires the talent of the Regent, so I specially prepared a dance for him." Ye Dina's eyes sparkled as she blinked at Li Siqi.

Li Siqi was unmoved, while Xu Yingying looked at Li Siqi meaningfully, and then stared at Ye Dina with interest, wanting to see what she was going to do.

"Since the princess is in such a good mood, it would be disrespectful for me to refuse." Li Siqi looked at Ye Dina expressionlessly, but did not refute her request.

Ye Dina went back and changed her clothes. When she appeared in front of everyone again, almost everyone present was stunned.

Ye Dina was naturally beautiful, and the beauty of people from the Western Regions was mostly very aggressive. Coupled with the specially made dance dress, Ye Dina's figure became even more graceful, and many people stared at her with their eyes wide open.

Of course, Li Siqi was an exception. His eyes were clear from beginning to end, which also made Ye Dina a little frustrated.

At the end of the dance, a thin layer of sweat appeared on Ye Dina's forehead and her chest rose and fell slightly. The men present couldn't take their eyes off her. Even Li Siqi was slightly amazed for a moment.

"Good!" I don't know who spoke first, but the whole hall was filled with endless praises for Ye Dina.

After a long time, the hall finally quieted down from the noise.

"Before I went to the Great Zhou, I heard that the Regent Princess was very charming and her dancing was attractive. I wonder if I will have the honor to see her today?" Ye Dina looked straight at Xu Yingying who was looking forward to the show.

Li Siqi's expression changed first. Xu Yingying was pregnant now, and it was the time when she needed to be paid attention to. However, Ye Dina suddenly made such a request, and Li Siqi refused without thinking.

"The princess has been feeling unwell in recent days, so I'm afraid I can't let the princess get her wish." Li Siqi looked at Ye Dina with cold eyes, as if warning Ye Dina to stop while she's ahead.

But Ye Dina seemed to not understand Li Siqi's gaze, and smiled coquettishly: "But I see that the princess's face is very good. Could it be that she looks down on me because I am from the Western Regions, so..."

Li Siqi wanted to say something more, but was stopped by Xu Yingying. She smiled at Ye Dina and said, "Since the princess has asked, how can I not accept the gift? It's just that I am not good at ordinary dancing, but I know a little about sword dancing. I am sorry to show my ugliness again."

After saying that, Xu Yingying gave Li Siqi a reassuring look and went downstairs to change clothes.

Xu Yingying appeared in the hall again with her hair tied up high. She looked very neat. She took off her cumbersome court dress and put on a riding suit. The clothes tightly wrapped her figure, but compared with Ye Dina's charm, Xu Yingying was more heroic. Just by her appearance, Ye Dina knew that she was outdone.

This realization made Ye Dina extremely angry, but Xu Yingying had already started dancing with the sword, and each move was precise and looked pleasing to the eye.

Ye Dina noticed that Li Siqi's eyes were glued to Xu Yingying and she became more and more jealous.

Ye Dina, who could no longer bear it, winked at the servant beside her, and then a look of watching a good show appeared on her face.

At this time, Xu Yingying was still immersed in dancing with the sword in her hand. The next second, she seemed to step on something round and slippery. Her balance was broken at once, and she fell forward uncontrollably. She subconsciously covered her lower abdomen, but it was too late.
