The arrogant imperial concubine arrives, the favorite of the regent

Ye Xiaohan nodded and confessed: "A little worried."

"Your Majesty, I still have many skills that I haven't shown you yet. Don't worry about me. Just wait and see."

Yun Mujiu and Ye Xiaohan went out together, followed by Ye Chufeng and Ye Chuhe.

Ye Chuhe's expression was indifferent, with a hint of expectation in his eyes.

Ye Chufeng glanced at Yun Mujiu's back inconspicuously and became worried.

In the Biquan Garden, the venues for the competitions of playing chess, calligraphy, painting, singing, dancing and archery had already been divided, and the corresponding platforms had been built one by one. Some people gathered around the venues for chess, calligraphy and painting, and some young ladies had already started competing in the corresponding events.

The prince had a stern face and looked around. When he saw Ye Xiaohan and Yun Mujiu coming out, he quickly withdrew his gaze and his expression became serious.

He curled his lips in disdain. Even if Yun Mujiu has a little IQ now, so what? She has never learned music, chess, calligraphy, painting, singing, dancing, and archery. Even the most basic women's work, Yun Mujiu can't do it.

Wanyan Gu found it a little funny to watch the prince's changes in behavior. It was the prince who first rejected the engagement with Yun Mujiu, and now the prince was paying special attention to Yun Mujiu.

Wanyan Gu cheered up and planned to watch a good show. His intuition told him that Yun Mujiu was not a simple person.

Yun Mujiu walked up to Bei Liyi and said, "If you want to compete, compare the bigger one with us."

Bei Liyi was surprised: "What do you mean?"

Her temples twitched slightly, and a bad premonition came over her. Why did Yun Mujiu not look stage-frightened at all?

No, Yun Mujiu must be pretending!

Yun Mujiu raised his lips and said, "We will have three matches, and the winner will be decided by best of three. If you lose the first match, I can give you two more chances."

"Princess Ye is so arrogant!" Bei Liyi raised her head, becoming more and more proud. Isn't Yun Mujiu asking for trouble? He actually dared to compete in three events in a row.

The onlookers became noisy, and some looked at Yun Mujiu with hesitation, and some even with regret.

Is Princess Ye losing control of her emotions? How dare she say she wants to compete in three events?

You have to know that everyone has their own strengths, and it is rare that they can be the best in everything. There are so many ladies present today, most of them can only do well in one or two projects.

In addition, there are always people better than you, and even if someone is outstanding in a certain talent, there is no guarantee that there won’t be other people who are better than him or her!

The Empress looked at Yun Mujiu with deep eyes, wondering what Yun Mujiu wanted to do? Was he just joining in the fun for fun, not even caring about his face?

Bei Liyi was very excited and asked hurriedly: "What event do you want to compete in the first round?"

Yun Mujiu looked calm and said calmly, "Since you are a visitor from Beihan, we, Zhongyue, as the host, will let you choose the first event."

Bei Liyi smiled: "Then choose 'dance'."

She turned and leaned towards the Emperor and Empress, then went downstairs to change her clothes.

Yun Shirou took small steps to Yun Mujiu's side, first glanced at Ye Xiaohan quickly, then looked at Yun Mujiu and said quickly: "Sister..."

Yun Mujiu interrupted: "Do you remember how I asked you to call me?"

Yun Shirou's face changed, and she remembered the lesson Yun Mujiu had taught her before, and quickly changed her words: "Princess Ye, I'm afraid you don't know how to dance. If you need me, I can take your place and fight Princess Bei Liyi."

Yun Mujiu understood that Yun Shirou wanted to show off her presence in front of others and secretly mock her. She said calmly with a cold face: "If you want to perform your talent, then perform it. You don't have to use the excuse of doing it for me."

Yun Mujiu turned his head away, too lazy to pay attention to Yun Shirou.

Yun Shirou was about to speak but stopped herself, and suffered a loss in silence. She hated it! Yun Mujiu dared to be so arrogant now, she would cry soon!

Bei Liyi was well prepared. She went downstairs to take off her outer skirt and quickly changed her clothes. Then she tied her already done bun with a colorful hairband.

She wore a light, thin shirt decorated with ribbons and a slim green silk skirt.

There were two backless benches on the stage with a flat round blanket placed across the middle.

The small round blanket has a beaded pattern around it. The blanket is not very heavy, and it is placed on two separate benches, so you have to be careful when standing on it.

A lady said, "How can people stand in the middle of the blanket if it is placed like this?"

Another person continued: "And we have to dance on it. If a fat person stands on it, the blanket will collapse immediately, not to mention dancing."

Bei Liyi looked proud and stepped directly onto the blanket.

When the drums sounded, Bei Liyi quickly started dancing, her sleeves raised high, her movements as fast as the wind.

On the small round carpet, she kept spinning and jumping without any pause.

The dance moves are graceful, sometimes like snowflakes floating in the sky, sometimes like catkins dancing in the wind, turning left and right, with ever-changing movements.

Everyone was gradually surprised and stared at Bei Liyi dancing.

Ye Xiaohan had an indifferent expression. He only glanced at Bei Liyi before casting his gaze on the towering cypress trees in the garden.

Seeing this, Wei Bai also followed Xue Ye Xiaohan to look at the scenery in the distance.

Yun Mujiu turned his head and asked, "Your Highness, is this a dance unique to Beihan Country? Why do everyone look as if they have never seen it before?"

"This dance is called Hu Xuan Dance, and it was adapted from a court dance of the Tianji Dynasty. After the fall of the Tianji Dynasty, many supplies in the palace disappeared, and some of these dance books would have fallen into the hands of others."

"So, the Hu Xuan Dance actually originated from the Tianji Dynasty. The Beihan royal family got the choreography book, and then they got the adapted dance?"

"That's right." Ye Xiaohan comforted Yun Mujiu, "It's just a dance, it's nothing special, don't worry, Mumu."

"Have you guessed what kind of dance I will perform?"

"I don't know," Ye Xiaohan raised the corner of his lips, "I haven't seen Mu Mu dance yet. But I know Mu Mu will give me a surprise."

"Then wait, Your Majesty. Mu Mu will dance for you right away."

Not long after Yun Mujiu and Ye Xiaohan finished their conversation, the sound of the drums gradually died down, and Bei Liyi's movements also gradually stopped.

Yun Mujiu glanced at the expressions of the people around him and knew that everyone appreciated the Hu Xuan dance.

The Queen was the first to applaud, and then she exclaimed: "It is indeed a Hu Xuan Dance adapted from the palace dance of the previous dynasty, it is really exquisite!"

Bei Liyi raised an eyebrow, "Does anyone want to continue dancing?"

Bei Liyi and Yun Mujiu's first competition is dancing, but other ladies can also participate in this event. After all, the emperor said that he would select a winner in a certain event to reward him.

Bei Liyi and Yun Mujiu will compete, and the winner will be decided between the two. Other girls can also join the competition and compare their level with Bei Liyi and Yun Mujiu.

Some of the young ladies who were eager to try were embarrassed. They didn't expect Bei Liyi to dance so beautifully. Wouldn't it be embarrassing for them to go up?

What should I do? Do I still dare to go up and dance?
