New Return of the Pearl: A Different Qing Er

When the Emperor learned that Xiaoyanzi had gotten into trouble again, he asked Yongqi and others to take Xiaoyanzi and Ziwei to the dinner together.

At night, Cining Palace

Everyone had dinner together and then gathered together to chat.

"Guan Bao, Fu Jin, are you full?" The Empress Dowager asked after everyone sat down.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for such a grand banquet and for asking us if we have eaten enough. We are so full." It is obvious that Lord Guanbao has a good relationship with the Your Majesty, and he doesn't have so many burdens when he speaks.

"That's good. Is your head really not injured?" After getting the answer, Mr. Buddha looked at Xinrong and asked.

"Master Buddha, aren't you checking? There are no injuries, not a single injury, don't worry." Xinrong said very happily, and it was obvious that she didn't take this matter to heart.

Song Qing thought, maybe this Xinrong is just so easy to talk to? Although she was puzzled, she didn't know the reason, so she had to continue observing.

"Grandma, now that it has been confirmed that Xinrong was not injured, please do not blame Princess Huanzhu anymore. Today, our family of three has entered the palace and several princesses and the Fifth Prince have come to greet us. I feel extremely honored. Thank you, Your Majesty and Grandma." Guanbao said this clearly, which not only did not embarrass Xiaoyanzi, but also saved the reputation of Grandma and the Emperor.

"When Xinrong was a child, he stayed with me for two years. I have never forgotten it. He was well-behaved and sensible since he was young, and he became even more outstanding when he grew up." The old lady looked at Xinrong very kindly and said.

"Xinrong, didn't you prepare something to present to the Empress Dowager? Go and prepare it quickly." Fu Jin reminded Xinrong of the performance she had prepared.

"Master Buddha, Xinrong has specially designed a stepping dance for you today. You must appreciate it and give Xinrong a score." To be honest, Song Qing didn't remember this part of the plot. What she disliked most were the clips where Xinrong appeared, and she always skipped them directly. Now, without the plug-in, Song Qing felt a little regretful. Why didn't she watch this part carefully at that time!

When the old lady heard that a dance was prepared for her, she was very happy and asked Xinrong to go down and prepare it.

Xiaoyanzi was sitting on a chair, and when she heard that Xinrong was preparing for a performance, she couldn't contain her excitement. She had been planning to perform today, but was rejected by Ziwei and others. Now that the opportunity had come, she had to seize it.

Song Qing was sitting below the old Buddha. When she saw Xiaoyanzi's eyes rolling around, she knew something was going to happen again. But she was far away and couldn't remind her! She was really worried!

While everyone was waiting for Xinrong to prepare, the emperor was not idle either. He actively talked to Guanbao, "Guanbao! I am sending you to inspect the coastal areas of Zhejiang this time. I am afraid that you will have to leave Beijing for a while. You have to be more patient. Why don't you take your wife with you to Zhejiang this time? There will be someone to take care of you on the way, so I will feel at ease." The emperor was considerate and asked his wife to go with him. However, it seemed that it was because of his wife's departure that Xinrong stayed in the palace! It seems... that's the case!

"Your Majesty, thank you very much for your grace. I will definitely follow your orders and supervise the affairs of Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Your Majesty, rest assured." Guan Bao quickly stood up and replied.

Benjamin, please draw this portrait for the censor. This portrait is a gift from me to celebrate his birthday." The emperor looked at Benjamin who was drawing the portrait and instructed him.

"I obey your order. Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will do my best to complete it." Benjamin replied.

As soon as he finished speaking, a burst of music was heard, and Xinrong walked into everyone's sight along with the music.

Xinrong was wearing a dance costume made of gauze, standing in the middle of a group of dancers, dancing gracefully. At first, Song Qing was just appreciating her, but the more she watched, the more familiar she felt. Why did she feel like she had seen this dance in modern times? Could it be that Xinrong was also wearing the same clothes?

Once this idea appears, it is like the grass after the spring rain, gradually taking root and growing uncontrollably.

Everyone was appreciating the graceful dance. Concubine Yu was also commenting on it with Concubine Ling beside her. From her expression, one could tell that she was very fond of Xinrong. When Song Qing saw her expression, she was blessed.

Quickly looking away, Song Qing saw Xiaoyanzi sneaking away at this perfect moment. She knew without even thinking that Xiaoyanzi was going to do something weird again. Never mind, let her be. Song Qing was completely giving up.

Ertai found it funny to see Song Qing looking so hopeless. He probably was afraid that Xiaoyanzi would make a fool of herself but couldn't stop her! Song Qing had worked really hard during this period. He had to prepare the surprise for her quickly!

"Good, good, Xinrong dances well. Nice song, nice music, nice dance!" The emperor's praise sounded, bringing Song Qing back to her senses.

"After watching Xinrong's dance, I want to go for an outing tomorrow!" The old lady was also very satisfied.

As soon as the old lady finished praising Xinrong, there was a sound of gongs and drums outside the door. Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw that it was Xiaoyanzi wearing a waist drum costume, and Benjamin was behind her helping to beat the gong. The wonderful atmosphere just now suddenly disappeared.

Yongqi saw Xiaoyanzi dancing alone, so he quickly sneaked out, probably to help her out.

Song Qing turned around and whispered something to Shuang'er. She also had to prepare in advance so that she could help later.

After a while, Yongqi also came wearing costume and playing waist drum, and danced with Xiaoyanzi.

They danced very enthusiastically, but unfortunately the people watching were not so happy. The Emperor's expression was even more solemn, as he didn't understand why Xiaoyanzi suddenly did all this.

"Yongqi, what are you doing? Come down quickly. How can you play the waist drum here!" When Concubine Yu saw her son wearing common people's clothes and fooling around with Xiaoyanzi, she quickly stood up to stop them.

Unfortunately, Yongqi ignored her.

"Grand Buddha, this is the Ansai waist drum we present to you. It is also a performance to apologize to the Censor, Lady Fu Jin, and Princess Xinrong. Please accept it." Xiaoyanzi said to the Grand Buddha while dancing.

It was unknown whether the Censor's family was happy to accept Song Qing, but it was very clear that the Empress Dowager was not happy to accept Song Qing.

"What a disgrace to bang and bang, this is the palace, not a market." As soon as Xiaoyanzi and Yongqi stopped, the old Buddha spoke up. Obviously, the old Buddha did not like their performance.

"Grandpa Buddha, the Ansai waist drum and the stepping song performed by Princess Xinrong are both very famous folk dances. The Ansai waist drum is the happiest expression of the people during the harvest or festival celebrations. The stepping song was also performed during the prosperous Tang Dynasty when people were singing and dancing. During the Qingming Festival, it is a performance that involves stepping on the land. It is a dance that can usually be seen by the river. The only difference between the two dances is that they are from different eras. Both represent peace and prosperity in the country, as well as good weather. Grandpa Buddha, you are so lucky tonight. You can see two folk dances from different prosperous times." Ziwei saw that Grandpa Buddha looked displeased and quickly explained.
