Hey! Host! I asked you to have a child, not to have a strategy.

Zhu Baishao pulled up a bitter smile, nodded slightly and lowered his eyebrows in agreement.

The two sat down and there was an awkward silence for a moment. After all, everyone wanted to see the two women pulling each other's hair, rather than treating each other politely like this.

Then someone who wanted to curry favor with Princess Yunzhu stepped forward and said he would play music for everyone's entertainment. Others encouraged and agreed.

Suddenly the scene became lively again.

In the open space in the middle, there are unmarried young ladies from various families, who take this opportunity to show themselves in front of the ladies of various families, with music such as stringed instruments, singing, dancing, poetry and so on.

Princess Yunzhu watched the excitement in the scene, and from time to time she glanced at Zhu Baishao, whose profile was equally beautiful. She felt sad. Such a beauty had been pursuing Li Lang for three years. Was it really true that Li Lang was not moved?

Zhu Baishao didn't care about Princess Yunzhu's thoughts. She was praising the system in her heart, "These ladies all have their strengths, and they all performed very hard."

System: [Host, please focus on the task. ]

As soon as the system finished speaking, its consciousness body lit up a red light and immediately reminded: [Host, the Son of Fortune is nearby. ]

Zhu Baishao's long eyelashes drooped slightly, her face expressionless, and she asked in her heart: "Do you know where it is?"

She really didn't know that the system could also detect the location of the Son of Fortune in real time. If it had always been like this, it would have been much simpler.

The system was silent for a while before displaying a large bold red arrow in front of her, pointing to the towering attic by the lake.

Seeing the arrow in front of him, Zhu Baishao was shocked. So obvious?! Is the system desperate?

As a result, I looked around quietly and it seemed that no one could see the arrow. So, could it be that these people couldn't see the screen either?

She tried to summon the system mall, but found that the people around her still did not respond, so she retracted the screen.

[Host, the mission target is nearby, please focus on the mission. ]

The system urges.

Zhu Baishao was just about to tell the system about her plan when she heard someone calling her.

"Miss Zhu was born in Jiangnan, where singing and dancing have been popular since ancient times. Why don't you show us some of your skills?"

Zhu Baishao raised her head. The singing and dancing in the venue had stopped at some point. Everyone's eyes were focused on her. It seemed that most of them were waiting to laugh at her.

[…It’s over. This is the scene in the original plot where the original owner lost his reputation in the capital! Host! Reject it now!]

The system was a little anxious, and it actually ignored this matter.

This is not a question of whether Zhu Baishao should be on stage or not. In the original plot, the original owner was not good at singing and dancing, and was laughed at and talked about like a monkey. The original owner was distracted and accidentally stepped on the hem of her clothes and fell. This led to the scene where Princess Yunzhu had a heart-to-heart talk with her and said that she wanted to be his co-wife.

"Why would you refuse? How can the plot proceed if you refuse? Besides, the emperor is watching."

Zhu Baishao spoke to the system in his heart, stood up, walked to the center of the field, bowed to everyone, and said softly: "Then Baishao will show his disgrace."

As he said this, he gave the band a pleading smile, and immediately the music of stringed instruments, harps and zithers began again.

Still wearing the same pomegranate red long skirt, she raised her arms, revealing her slender waist that was less than one hand's width under the belt. She danced lightly to the music, sometimes raising her hands high, revealing two snow-white arms, one high and one low, sometimes bending her knees, sometimes leaning back and half turning, her skirt and the necklace around her waist fluttering in the wind, so beautiful.

Not to mention the people present, even the emperor Gao Yang, who was on the attic with flying eaves and brackets and had the best view, leaned on the railing and looked out. He was begged by the empress dowager to come and see the young ladies of the capital, and his eyes were filled with admiration.

The eunuch arranged by the empress dowager to come nearby was sharp-eyed and immediately arranged for someone to find out which family the young lady dancing below was from and also to inform the empress dowager.

The system then suddenly realized that the original owner could not sing or dance, but its host Zhu Baishao could!

Just when everyone was immersed in the dance, Zhu Baishao's dance steps quickened, which conflicted with the music. She stepped on the hem of her skirt and fell on the bluestone slabs.

The music also stopped suddenly.

"Miss!"

Xier had never seen Zhu Baishao dance before. While admiring her, she felt a little doubtful. But when she saw her fall, she immediately ignored everything else and rushed forward to help Zhu Baishao up.

The others who were shocked by the sudden change and stood up on the spot were relieved to see that Zhu Baishao's clothes were just dirty and torn, but she was not injured.

【Host?】The system was also shocked at that time.

"I did it on purpose, to follow the plot."

Zhu Baishao replied to the system in his mind, but his face showed some embarrassment. He bowed to Princess Yunzhu and asked her if he could go down and tidy up his appearance.

Princess Yunzhu was also immersed in her dance. She felt jealous, pity and admiration for her. Finally, she pointed to the attic next to her and asked the palace maid to take her there.

After entering the attic, Zhu Baishao watched the person indicated by the red arrow getting closer and closer. Even though he had prepared himself mentally, he was still a little nervous.

She paused and stopped at the door of a room next to Emperor Gao Yang.

When Emperor Gao Yang saw Zhu Baishao fall, he just raised his eyebrows, looked away, drank the wine in the glass in his hand, and walked back to the table to continue drinking.

When Zhu Baishao and the others entered the attic, they saw that Gao Yang did not react, so the eunuchs standing nearby naturally did not dare to say anything.

Zhu Baishao walked to the place closest to the red arrow mark and stopped. There happened to be a soft couch against the wall, so she sat on it.

After the maid who led the way left, Xier said angrily: "Miss! The princess just wants to intimidate us! Let's leave quickly."

After leaving the sight of outsiders, Zhu Baishao seemed to have taken off her disguise, her shoulders trembling slightly, and her voice was muffled, with some easily noticeable fragility.

"Xi'er, I can't do anything well, and I lost someone at the banquet..."

"No wonder Li Lang said that I am all show and no substance..."

"But I don't want to give up Li Lang at all..."

Zhu Baishao's voice was sobbing, and it sounded like she was about to cry.

She asked the system in her mind: [Can the people next door hear me? ]

The system watching her performance felt disconnected: […Yes.]

Xier felt extremely distressed and quickly hugged Zhu Baishao, comforting her in a low voice.

Zhu Baishao buried her head on Xier's shoulder and confided in a very sad voice: "During the Flower Festival that year, it was Li Lang who grabbed me when I was about to fall into the water. At that time, I decided on him. In the past three years, I restrained my temper for him and secretly learned to dance for him. Even though everyone pointed fingers at me behind my back, my feelings did not change. But Li Lang warned me not to make the princess angry..."

"The princess is as precious as a pearl in his eyes, so what am I... He has never treated me like this..."

"Obviously I came first..."
