The Legend of Anle 安乐传 Episode 16

When Ren Anle and Han Ye were in a stalemate, the emperor sent someone to send a letter, inviting Ren Anle to attend the crown prince's concubine selection banquet. Luo Mingxi found out that An Ning had fallen into the water when he was young, so he fell into a coma for several days and had nightmares again and again. The Queen Mother killed the eunuch Liangxi in a rage.

In the whole ten years, Princess An Ning has never been back to the capital, and she seldom communicated with the emperor and the queen mother, which is a bit strange. Therefore, Luo Mingxi and Lin Lang combined various clues and guessed that Princess Anning should be the witness to the case of killing the emperor's family and also an insider of the case.

When Di Chengen heard that the emperor was very special to Ren Anle and gave her a special decree, he was extremely dissatisfied and eager to live a prosperous life in the future. In order to be able to shine at tomorrow's prince selection banquet, Di Cheng'en did not hesitate to soak himself in cold water and treat himself harshly, thus setting up a strategy to make Han Ye feel sorry for him.

Ren Anle thought carefully that it would be a good thing if Di Chengen could be elected as the crown princess. First, it would make the people pay more attention to the old affairs of the emperor's family and create public opinion in order to overturn the case;

Di Chengen asked Mu Qing to help him prepare several barrels of cold water but was rejected. Mu Qing cared about Di Chengen's health and opposed her making such a bad move. However, Di Chengen didn't listen to the advice, and soaked in the cold water to endure the biting chill, and used all means to achieve his goal, vowing never to return to Daishan again, and never to be humiliated by others again.

The night before the banquet, Leng Bei took the initiative to meet Mo Shuang and told her repeatedly that she must not become the princess of Dajing. However, Mo Shuang fell in love with Han Ye at first sight. No matter how Leng Bei obstructed him, he had made up his mind to dress up as the prince liked. The emperor ordered a banquet to be held in the palace, and the women who are candidates for the crown princess must attend at the same time, so that the final decision can be made.

Although this royal banquet was not grand, it was rare and solemn. The attendees were all members of the royal family. Han Ye didn't want to be too ostentatious, and dressed in a low-key and elegant way. Ren Anle was also dressed in a moon-white dress, which made him unable to look away for a long time. Wen Shuo left with great sense of humor, leaving the two of them alone, Ren Anle was rare to be gentle, and smiled sweetly, which made it hard for Han Ye not to be moved.

Everyone came to the concubine selection banquet one after another, but Di Chengen and Zhong Jing hadn't appeared yet. After waiting for a while, Han Ye raised his glass to toast and hoped that Ren Anle could find a better marriage. Ren Anle's smile faded when he heard this, and he also wished Han Ye that he would give up on choosing a good match.

While talking, Di Chengen came late, pretending to be weak and about to pass out, Han Ye hastily stretched out his hand to support her, originally wanted to put a robe on her, but on second thought, let the eunuch do this, so as not to be blamed. Sure enough, seeing Di Chengen's wishful thinking come to naught, the noble ladies present at the scene ridiculed her, thinking that her methods were too clumsy.

Mo Shuang took the initiative to chat with Di Chengen, and asked about the special skills of the Di family, Di Chengen showed embarrassment, and Ren Anle deliberately urged Han Ye to rescue her. Faced with the noble ladies who were performing, Ren Anle suddenly asked Di Chengen to play music, but Han Ye refused. Unexpectedly, Di Chengen readily agreed and was willing to perform on stage. His superb skills were astonishing, which made Han Ye feel puzzled, because in his impression, Di Chengen liked to dance swords and swords since he was a child, and when would he like to play the piano. Wen Shuo felt that living in Daishan for a long time was boring, so he simply played the piano to pass the time, but Han Ye didn't think too deeply about it.

At this moment, Princess An Ning was suddenly emotional and stopped Di Chengen, scolding her for humiliating herself like this. Today is the death day of Marquis Jing An, but she is wearing a beautiful dress and playing music today. The concubine selection banquet fell into chaos, Han Zhongyuan stood not far away and witnessed all this, and felt that it was unimaginable that the daughter of the imperial family, who was flamboyant and wanton back then, turned into such a state.

An Ning calmed down and apologized to Di Chengen, begging her to give up competing for the crown princess, but Di Chengen refused. In the end, An Ning publicly announced her support for Ren Anle to become the crown princess, and everyone present was in an uproar. Mo Shuang proposed to perform sword dancing, but when she saw her brother throw a knife in the eye, she pretended to be unwell and sat back in her original position. Upon seeing this, Ren Anle expressed that he would perform on his behalf, and asked Di Chengen to accompany him.
