The Legend of Zhen Huan: Year after year, we share the spring breeze

Zhen Huan reported this and got up to change her clothes. An Lingrong thought about it for a moment and also went out to take a breath.

After wandering around for a while, An Lingrong discovered Zhen Huan washing her feet by the lake and a civet cat slowly approaching.

Seeing that they had already started talking, An Lingrong could only listen from a distance.

"Li Houzhu once used the phrase 'light blue jade soft' to praise the fair skin of a beautiful woman, which is indeed true. However, I think it would be better to use 'light blue jade slender' to better highlight the beauty of the snow-white and slender jade feet."

An Lingrong felt sick as she listened to the live teasing. Even in the open-minded 21st century, a man saying to a woman, "Your feet are so white!" would be considered a pervert, not to mention that the man was nominally her sister-in-law.

After a while, the two finished talking and were about to return to the palace when they met Jingpin, the head of the harem discipline group. After a few more words, the two of them went to the side hall together.

An Lingrong also took the opportunity to appreciate the scenery on the island for a while. The breeze from the Back Lake felt cool and comfortable on her face, making her a little reluctant to leave. When she came back, Concubine Zhen Huan and Concubine Jing had already returned, and the Queen had already finished writing the word "Shou".

Cao Qinmo, who was sitting at the head of the table, was controlling the proceedings of the banquet with a smile on her face, but Concubine Duan couldn't stand it any longer. As a mother, she had to cause trouble at her own child's birthday party, so she excused herself and left on the grounds of exhaustion.

Cao Qinmo pulled out a slip of paper from the box and, concealing it with her wide sleeves, quickly swapped it with the other slip. As she unfolded it, she said, "This is from Lady Wan. Please perform a stunning dance for her."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone in the audience was shocked.

"Lady Wan is beautiful, graceful as a startled swan and agile as a flying dragon. It is fitting that my sister dance with her."

Concubine Xin tried to help, saying, "This Jinghong Dance was created by Concubine Mei of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang. Empress Chunyuan has been searching for the original dance and has modified it. How can Miss Wan, who is only a child, perform Jinghong Dance? Concubine Cao is really asking too much!"

Noble Lady Fucha, however, was somewhat gloating, "This stunning dance is the most difficult to learn. If you dance it well, it will be stunning. If you dance it badly, it will be like a poor imitation of a beautiful woman!"

Shen Meizhuang wanted to help Zhen Huan out of the predicament, so she suggested, "Since Concubine Wan is not good at dancing, why not write a lyric to congratulate the princess?"

Today, Shen Meizhuang is also half the owner. Since she said so, the emperor and the empress have to give her some face.

But Concubine Hua, who had been silent the whole time, said sarcastically, "Forget about not being able to dance. It's a waste of everyone's time!"

There was contempt and disdain in his tone.

Seeing the emperor's increasingly gloomy expression, Cao Qinmo could only bite the bullet and say, "The Jinghong Dance has been popular among the people since Empress Chunyuan's dance rocked the world. It became a hit, and all women have tried it. Concubine Wan is intelligent. Even if she doesn't dance well, everyone here is her sister, and I think they will understand!"

The emperor and empress still said nothing.

At this point, Zhen Huan could only stand up and said awkwardly, "My dance is not worthy of such a noble occasion. The Emperor, Empress, and all the noble princes are here today. I dare not show off my ugliness!"

Hearing Zhen Huan's refusal, Prince Dun thought he could take the opportunity to poke the emperor in the face. "I heard that your brother has a new concubine, Consort Wan, whom you dote on very much. I didn't expect that she can't even dance. She's not even as good as the dancers in your mansion. She only uses her beauty to please others, which only makes your brother judge people by appearances!"

Zhen Huan knew that it was not right for her to dance today, nor was it right for her not to dance.

If she danced well, she would be imitating Empress Chunyuan, which was disrespectful to the late Empress. If she danced badly, it would be like what Prince Dun said: "To serve a woman with beauty is not as good as to serve a dancer." And the Emperor himself was judging people by appearance, which was superficial and ignorant!

She had no choice but to turn her gaze to the emperor above her, but the emperor's words shattered her expectations.

Yongzheng was indeed stimulated by Prince Dun's words, and remembering Chunyuan's graceful dancing style, he said, "It has been a long time since I have seen anyone dancing the Jinghong dance. Lady Wan, just dance casually."

Zhen Huan's heart was filled with disappointment, but she couldn't show it on her face. She could only bow and say, "Then allow me to change my clothes. I will be back in a moment."

Prince Dun smiled and said, "It's okay to change clothes, as long as you don't have to pee."

Prince Dun's wife was already slightly angered by his nonsense: "Don't speak drunken words in front of the emperor."

When Prince Dun saw that his wife was angry, he put away the teasing look on his face.

And Yong Yongzheng looked at Prince Dun as if he was looking at a dead person.

A moment later, Zhen Huan appeared in the central open space in a pink and white dance dress.

Seeing that the situation was already settled, Shen Meizhuang wanted to distract everyone with the sound of her zither. She stood up, bowed, and said, "Your Majesty, ordinary stringed instruments are too vulgar. How about I play the zither to entertain Lady Wan?"

The sound of the piano started, and Zhen Huan also started dancing to the music.

The Jinghong Dance focuses on using freehand techniques to express the graceful image of wild geese soaring in the sky through dance movements. It is a dance full of graceful charm, with light, elegant and soft dance moves.

Although An Lingrong didn't know how to dance, she knew that the moves were extremely difficult.

"It is beautiful, but it has no originality." This is Prince Dun's evaluation.

At this time, outside the hall, there was a clear sound of flute and piano.

Shen Meizhuang reacted very quickly and immediately followed the rhythm of the flute, while Zhen Huan also changed her dance steps immediately.

Zhen Huan was wearing a long-sleeved dance costume, a long skirt that dragged on the ground, and a long scarf draped over her shoulders. She jumped into the air and danced like a startled wild goose, as graceful as a startled wild goose and as agile as a flying dragon.

The emperor at the top was stunned, with great joy in his eyes.

At this moment, the jealous anger in Concubine Hua's eyes seemed to be about to erupt, and she looked at Cao Qinmo hatefully.

The queen's expression is even more intriguing.

As soon as the dance was over, Zhen Huan's eyes changed when she looked at Yun Li!

An Lingrong thought to herself that this was bad. Today's dance was not only the beginning of the love between Zhen Huan and Yun Li, but also made the Emperor regard Zhen Huan as a substitute for Chun Yuan!

"How many surprises do you have that I don't know about!" Yongzheng looked at Zhen Huan as if she had found a treasure that had been lost.

Cao Qinmo stood up and said, "Your Majesty, let me tell you what I have to say. Lady Wan is indeed intelligent and can perform a dance that ordinary people cannot. I believe her dancing skills are not inferior to those of Empress Chunyuan back then, right?"

Everyone was silent.

The Queen was very unhappy. She said that only she could use Chunyuan's credit card; no one else could use it. "I remember when Queen Chunyuan performed this dance, even Concubine Hua hadn't entered the palace yet, let alone Concubine Cao. How could you know how good Queen Chunyuan's dance was? And how could you compare Concubine Wan's dance with it?"

Cao Qinmo couldn't answer and could only apologize: "It was my fault. I only heard about it. I was not able to see the late queen's dance. It is my regret."

Zhen Huan said, "I have never seen the exquisite grace of Queen Chunyuan's stunning dance. It is truly my misfortune. The stunning dance I performed today is merely a copycat of others'. How can it compare to Queen Chunyuan's moonlit dance?"

After saying this, she looked at the emperor with a smile, and the emperor could no longer hide his smile!
