Rebirth of a Lost Nation: Princess, Please Respect Yourself

The Nanchu sacrificial dance is a dance performed by Nanchu to pray for the prosperity of the country, and it has a very strong Nanchu flavor.

The restless drum beats sounded, and two women were seen standing on the big drum with their faces covered by white gauze, one red and the other gold, with slender waists, light movements, and tassels in their hair jingling. They coordinated well, and the red and gold colors intertwined to complement each other.

Although the woman in the golden shirt looks noble, the woman in the red shirt is even better. Her graceful dance moves are in perfect harmony with the music, easily capturing everyone's attention.

"Wonderful, wonderful! This song should only exist in heaven, how often can it be heard in the world?"

"That's right. The dancing of the woman in red is truly stunning!"

Sacrificial dance is a must-learn dance for noble ladies in Nanchu. Jiang Chuchu has also been practicing diligently since childhood. However, when they danced together, Jiang Lige received all the praise, which Jiang Chuchu naturally disagreed with.

However, Jiang Lige did not notice anything wrong with Jiang Chuchu, and was only focused on dancing well.

After all, this sacrificial dance is related to the diplomatic relations between the two countries and the reputation of Empress Dowager Jiang.

After completing a beautiful and difficult move, Jiang Lige had not yet breathed a sigh of relief when he felt himself tripped. Before he could react, he flew out of the drum.

A red shirt fluttered in the air, and everyone thought it was a dance move and cheered loudly.

Only Jiang Lige was desperate and thought: which one is worse, falling on your face or falling on your butt?

Well... probably the face.

As it was getting closer and closer to the ground, a long red silk ribbon came through the air, wrapped around Jiang Lige's waist and threw him into the sky.

Following the long silk thread, Jiang Lige saw Ning Yunxiao.

It was clearly an expressionless face, but it made Jiang Lige inexplicably calm down.

As long as Ning Yunxiao took action, he would be fine. After all...

In his previous life, Ning Yunxiao was an omnipotent being.

Thinking of this, Jiang Lige was completely relieved. In a moment of wit, he pulled out the flowers from his temples, crushed them, and scattered them along the long silk.

Bright petals were flying all over the sky, and Jiang Lige was spinning down in the lingering long silk, like a fairy from the nine heavens descending to the mortal world, so beautiful that it made people forget to breathe.

Off the court, Ning Luyang's gaze shifted from Jiang Chuchu to Jiang Lige.

Ning Luyang often lived in the palace and had met Jiang Lige several times.

In my impression, Jiang Lige is good-looking but very spoiled. Unfortunately, the empress dowager dotes on her very much. She wants to hang anything good on her. She is like a walking money bank in the palace and cannot be touched. I used to avoid her when I saw her.

But Jiang Lige now seems different from usual, less domineering and more lively and gentle, making people unable to take their eyes off her.

Marrying a girl like Jiang Lige...seems like a good idea, right?

It was not until the end of the song that Jiang Lige, who landed gracefully on the ground, and Jiang Chuchu, who was still standing on the drum, performed their exit ceremony. Only then did everyone come back to their senses from this wonderful dance and burst into applause.

Emperor Sheng Ling was particularly enthusiastic and praised them highly: "The two princesses' dance astonished the world, especially the nine-sky scattering flowers, which was particularly wonderful and can be called the best performance of the day!"

Jiang Lige took off her veil and smiled.

"Zhaohua dared not be careless in performing for His Majesty. He practiced diligently for a long time."

Emperor Sheng Ling laughed heartily upon hearing this, "Very well, I will reward you handsomely!"

Jiang Lige was not polite and accepted the award gracefully, then left with Jiang Chuchu to change clothes.

Jiang Chuchu knew she was in the wrong. Seeing Jiang Lige walking in front with no intention of paying attention to her, she trotted forward and carefully pulled Jiang Lige's sleeve, looking aggrieved as if Jiang Lige had bullied her.

"It's all Chuchu's fault for not dancing well. She almost caused her sister to fall and make a fool of herself. Will she blame me?"

You can trip someone up and still perform a good move. How can you say you are not a good dancer?

It's simply too exquisite, okay!

Although he was secretly complaining, Jiang Lige still looked embarrassed.

"No one is perfect, right? I naturally won't blame you, but today's dance concerns the diplomatic relations between our two countries, so the decision still needs to be made by my great-aunt."

Jiang Chuchu bit her lip and was about to cry, "The Queen Mother will definitely punish Chuchu severely, but Chuchu really didn't mean it! Sister, can you plead for Chuchu?"

Jiang Lige deliberately put on a stern face and said anxiously.

"Chu Chu, how could you say that to my great-aunt? I'm so disappointed!"

After saying that, she flicked her sleeves and left, leaving Jiang Chuchu at a loss for a moment, and hurriedly chased after her, calling "sister".

Feng Quan, who was following beside her, couldn't help but laugh. Her master's move was called "following Jiang Chuchu's path and leaving Jiang Chuchu with no way to go"!

……

After the hunt, there was a palace banquet hosted by Emperor Sheng Ling, and the female guests were naturally hosted by Empress Xiao.

Jiang Lige returned to the table with a stern face. Jiang Chuchu didn't dare to cause trouble anymore. She chatted with the noble ladies next to her with a faint smile.

Empress Dowager Jiang happily pulled Jiang Lige aside and praised her a few words, then gave Jiang Lige a push, indicating that she should also chat with the noble ladies of the same age.

After all, she is about to get married. How can she take care of her husband's family in the future without some connections?

Jiang Lige sighed, and once again lamented how stupid he was in his previous life.

In the past, she was proud of her status and was unwilling to make close friends with the noble ladies of Sheng Ling.

Apart from Jiang Chuchu, she has almost no friends, and there are very few people who are willing to lend a helping hand to her when she is down.

Thinking of this, Jiang Lige walked forward with a smile and went straight to Dong Lianchu.

Dong Lianchu's father died in the battlefield and his mother committed suicide for love.

Empress Dowager Jiang took pity on Dong Lianchu because she had no one to take care of her, so she brought her into the palace to raise her by her side and bestowed upon her the title of Princess An Ning.

In fact, Dong Lianchu can be considered as a close friend of Jiang Lige who grew up together. They had a good relationship when they were in the palace, but since Dong Lianchu got married, they have completely lost contact.

But in her previous life, when Jiang Lige's life was hanging by a thread, it was Dong Lianchu who found a way to invite an imperial physician for her.

Jiang Lige remembers this love.

"Sister Lianchu."

Dong Lianchu was stunned when he heard this, but when he saw it was Jiang Lige, he smiled, stretched out his hand to measure the height and said with a smile.

"In the blink of an eye, Sister Li Ge has grown so tall."

Dong Lianchu is a few years older than Jiang Lige, but she got married early. Now her child is almost three years old. Looking at Jiang Lige, her tone has a bit of coaxing tone.

Jiang Lige just smiled, "Sister Lianchu rarely comes to the palace now, and Lige can't leave the palace easily. I haven't seen you for a long time, but I'm still as friendly as ever."

"According to the date, Sister Li Ge will be getting married soon, right?"

Dong Lianchu didn't have many relatives, so he was naturally happy to be close to Jiang Lige. "After my sister gets married, I will definitely come and bother her when I have time."

"Li Ge couldn't ask for more..."

"Princess Zhaohua dances so beautifully, even better than the sisters in Yihong Courtyard. Even Aya is stunned by her."

Jiang Lige was talking to Dong Lianchu when the woman who had just suggested that Jiang Lige dance came over and interrupted their conversation rudely.

You came just in time, I still haven’t settled the old score with her!

Jiang Lige thought.
