The second selection meeting was held as scheduled in the Wei court. This grand ceremony was not only for selecting new concubines, but also a stage for showcasing the talents of women from all over the country. Today, the first appearance of the show attracted the attention of the audience. She was Qin Qinghan from Jiangnan.

Qin Qinghan was wearing a light green dress embroidered with delicate plum blossom patterns. The hem of her skirt was light and flowing, like a spring breeze blowing over a willow tree. Her hair was as black as lacquer, combed into an exquisite bun with a few small pearl flowers inserted on it. A few strands of silver silk decorations hung from the bun, swaying gently with her steps.

Qin Qinghan's face was as smooth as jade, with delicate features and a pair of bright almond eyes that exuded a clear spirit. Her skin was white and delicate, like fine porcelain, which reminded people of the beautiful scenery of the Jiangnan water town. Her lips were slightly raised, revealing a peaceful smile, which looked gentle and moving.

She comes from a family of scholars. Her father is a famous scholar in Jiangnan. Qin Qinghan has a deep family background. She has received a good education since she was young. She is not only proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, but also has a deep understanding of poetry and songs. Her talent has long been known in the Jiangnan area and she is known as "the first talented woman in Jiangnan."

Today, she will show off her best talents - playing the guqin and reciting poetry.

When Qin Qinghan slowly walked onto the stage, everyone's eyes were focused on her. After she saluted the emperor and the ministers, she gracefully sat in front of the guqin, gently brushed the strings with her fingers, and adjusted the pitch. Then, she gently raised her hand and began her performance.

The sound of the piano is gentle and melodious, as if bringing people into a picturesque water town in the south of the Yangtze River. Her fingering is skillful, and the sound of the piano is smooth and layered. Every note seems to be telling a touching story. The sound of the piano is sometimes like the breeze blowing the willows, and sometimes like the drizzle knocking on the window, which is refreshing.

Everyone present was deeply attracted by her piano music, as if they were in the beautiful scenery of Jiangnan. Qin Qinghan's piano music not only has the tenderness of Jiangnan, but also contains a kind of faint sadness and affection, as if telling her longing for her hometown and her vision for the future.

When the piano music gradually stopped, the scene was silent, and everyone was immersed in the wonderful feeling brought by the piano music. After a while, everyone applauded and praised her talent.

Qin Qinghan smiled slightly, stood up, saluted the emperor and the ministers again, then she walked to the center of the stage, ready to show her second talent - reciting poetry.

She spoke slowly, her voice as clear and sweet as an oriole:

"The spring rain in the south of the Yangtze River is as soft as butter, and the grass grows and the orioles fly in February. When the swallows come, the New Year is approaching, and the peach blossoms are all over the ground and the apricot blossoms are in full bloom. The mountains and rivers are beautiful, and the world is beautiful. The women in the south of the Yangtze River are talented and virtuous. I hope you will not let down your youthful dreams, and enjoy the prosperity to the horizon together."

Her poems are graceful and fluent, with profound artistic conception, as if showing the spring in the south of the Yangtze River and her vision of a better life. Her voice is soft but firm, full of hope and confidence in the future.

After Qin Qinghan's performance, the emperor and the ministers praised her talent. Not only did she move everyone with her piano music, but she also used poems to show her deep cultural heritage and love for life.

Qin Qinghan's performance undoubtedly added a touch of color to this talent show. Her talent and beauty impressed everyone. She is not only the pride of Jiangnan, but also a beautiful scenery in the Wei court.

At the second talent show, the second beauty also attracted the attention of the audience. This beauty was named Liu Wanqing, and she came from a military family in the northern part of the Great Wall. Her background was completely different from Qin Qinghan's, but it was also full of legends.

Liu Wanqing was wearing a red dance costume with a golden belt around her waist, showing off her slender and upright figure. Her hair was as dark as ink, combed into a high bun with a few silver hairpins inserted on it, making her look capable and delicate. Her eyebrows and eyes were picturesque, with a heroic and determined look in her eyes. Although her skin was not as fair and delicate as that of Jiangnan women, it was full of healthy luster and looked very moving.

Liu Wanqing's family has been generals for generations. She has learned martial arts from her father since she was a child. Although she was born into a family of generals, she also has a strong interest in literature and art, especially dance. She is not only proficient in swords and spears, but also has extraordinary talent in dancing. Her dance has both the bold beauty of the northern grasslands and the delicacy and elegance of the Central Plains culture.

Today, she will demonstrate her best double sword dance and unique horseback dance.

When Liu Wanqing walked onto the stage, the audience's attention was focused on her again. After she saluted the emperor and the ministers, she stood in the center of the stage, holding two daggers in her hands, with a confident look in her eyes.

As the music sounded, Liu Wanqing's double sword dance began. Her movements were swift and graceful, and the double swords in her hands seemed to have life, sometimes like a flying swallow, sometimes like thunder and lightning. Her steps were light and agile, and her movements were both hard and soft. Every spin and jump showed her superb martial arts and graceful dance. The sword light flickered under the lights, forming silver arcs that were dazzling.

Everyone present was attracted by her dancing. The scene before them seemed to bring them to the grasslands of the northern frontier, where they felt the breath of freedom and unrestrainedness. Liu Wanqing's double sword dance not only demonstrated her martial arts, but also reflected her boldness and self-confidence, which made people admire her.

When the double sword dance ended, the audience burst into thunderous applause. Liu Wanqing smiled slightly, put away her double swords, saluted the emperor and the ministers again, and then she walked to the side of the stage, ready to show her second talent - horseback dancing.

Several guards led a tall and strong white horse, with ribbons and bells hanging all over the saddle. Liu Wanqing jumped lightly onto the horse's back, and as the music sounded again, she began her unique horseback dance.

Liu Wanqing was light and graceful on horseback, as if she had merged with the horse. She sometimes stood up, sometimes leaned over, with ribbons dancing in her hands and bells making crisp sounds as she moved. Her dancing posture not only showed her superb riding skills, but also reflected her deep understanding of dance and unique creativity.

The people present watched Liu Wanqing's performance as if they saw the galloping horses on the northern grasslands and felt the beauty of boldness and freedom. Her dance not only displayed strength but also gentle expression, and every movement was full of passion and vitality.

When the horseback dance ended, the audience burst into warm applause again. Liu Wanqing jumped off the horse lightly and saluted the emperor and the ministers. Her performance amazed everyone, showing not only her talent and courage, but also her unique charm.

After Liu Wanqing's performance, the emperor and the ministers praised her talent. She not only showed her martial arts with the double sword dance, but also her innovation and talent with the horseback dance. Her performance was full of the boldness of the northern frontier and the elegance of the Central Plains, which made people look at her with new eyes.

Liu Wanqing's name soon spread throughout the palace, and her talent and beauty impressed everyone. She was not only the pride of Saibei, but would also become a unique landscape in the Wei court.

In the days to come, Liu Wanqing's performance will receive more attention. Her talent and courage not only won the emperor's appreciation, but also brought honor to her family. Liu Wanqing is undoubtedly a shining new star in this talent show, and her future is full of infinite possibilities.
