A life of ups and downs is pure joy

Chapter 300 The Secret Between Me and My Sister

Su Jin sat quietly before the bronze mirror, gazing at herself in it. Her gorgeous, exotic attire made her look particularly charming, especially the dazzling beads and flowing veil on her head, which added a touch of mystery and allure.

When she saw herself like this, a smile appeared involuntarily in the corners of her eyes, as gorgeous as a blooming spring flower.

"Sister, it seems that you are somewhat similar to your aunt."

Wei Lan's gentle voice came. She was sitting next to Su Jin, holding an exquisite wooden comb in her hand, slowly combing Su Jin's silky long hair.

The senior palace maid Wan Yi was concentrating on combing Su Jin's hair. However, in the midst of her busyness, she couldn't help but look up and glance at Su Jin a few more times, with undisguised surprise in her eyes.

"The princess's outfit is indeed quite similar to the empress's."

Wan Yi said softly, with a hint of amazement in his tone.

Hearing this, Su Jin turned to look at Wei Lan's pretty face, his eyes full of sincere praise.

"Sister, if you wear this kind of exotic clothing, you will definitely look much better than me. After all, you are not only naturally beautiful, but also have a pair of rare purple eyes, which make you as charming as a fairy in a dreamland."

After saying that, she turned her gaze to Wan Yi and muttered, "Why are Wan Yi's pupils brown with purple? The Scarlet Snake Female Doctor doesn't seem to have such unique purple pupils."

Faced with the question suddenly raised by Su Jin, Wei Lan couldn't help feeling a little confused. She frowned and asked curiously.

"Sister, what is a pupil?"

At the same time, Wan Yi stared at Su Jin with a puzzled look, obviously curious about this unfamiliar word.

"Sister, your eyes are really beautiful."

Su Jin couldn't help but think to herself that this word was a little uncommon here. After meditating, she decided to find another word to describe these charming eyes.

Wei Lan lowered her head slightly, the corners of her mouth curling up slightly in a faint smile. Her fair face gradually turned a faint blush, like the first peach blossoms blooming in spring, shy and charming.

"So that's what you're talking about."

Wei Lan responded softly.

Wan Yi explained, "My Lady, in our entire foreign land, only members of the royal family can possess such pure and flawless purple eyes. This servant and I, Lady Chi Lian, are both daughters of imperial officials."

Su Jin stared into the blue eyes closely, and suddenly, a familiar face flashed through her mind.

"I seem to have seen the same eyes somewhere before..."

She couldn't help muttering to herself.

Upon hearing this, Wan Yi said in surprise, "Princess, in the entire Great Yan Dynasty, apart from the old imperial concubine who has long since passed away, only the Empress has such unique purple eyes!"

Her words could not conceal her pride and honor as the most trusted maidservant to the Queen.

"Perhaps it's because my sister is so beautiful that I've become so bewitched by her that I can't even tell whether I saw her in a dream or whether I've been looking at her beautiful eyes every day in Chaoyang Palace."

Su Jin shook her head slightly and muttered to herself. Wan Yi beside her was right. She had just arrived here, so how could she have seen another pair of purple pupils besides the Queen's?

"Look at your personality, you're so lively, cheerful, and quirky! In the past, I always mistakenly thought that you were shy and introverted, and that you had trouble getting close to others. This really made me worry for a long time."

Wei Lan smiled and looked gently at the woman in front of her who had a beautiful smile and was very playful and cute. She couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Oh, my clothes are already changed. Now it's time for me to trouble the Queen to teach me how to dance."

Su Jin said coquettishly.

Yesterday she had told Wei Lan about her plan to perform the exotic Green Waist Dance at the annual banquet.

However, she didn't know whether the Green Waist Dance here was the same as the one she was good at, so she urgently needed to find someone who understood this dance to give her careful guidance.

Wei Lan spoke slowly.

"I'm not the one teaching you..."

Wei Lan's eyes, like deep lakes, sank slightly, and her long eyelashes trembled gently, as if some thoughts were surging in them.

She raised her hand gracefully and waved casually towards Wan Yi. Wan Yi nodded in understanding, then turned and walked quickly towards the door, calling out in a delicate voice, "Lotus Leaf!"

Accompanied by melodious music, a beautiful dance slowly came to an end.

Su Jin stood there, her face filled with ecstasy, her heart blooming like countless gorgeous flowers. She stared intently at the lotus leaf that had just finished its performance, thinking to herself.

Although this exotic green waist dance is indeed unique, upon closer inspection, apart from a few more complex movements than the version I learned, there are not many differences in the rest.

Wei Lan said softly, "This dance is by no means easy to master, especially as it requires extremely high flexibility in the woman's waist. He Ye's ability to perform such a wonderful dance is entirely due to her diligent training in the dance studio since she was young."

After saying this, she turned to look at the woman beside her who had remained silent the entire time, just concentrating on enjoying the dance.

Noticing Wei Lan's gaze, Su Jin smiled slightly and nodded, indicating that he agreed with what he said.

"He Ye dances beautifully. With her here, I won't embarrass my sister at the year-end family banquet, and I can also put a dent in that Empress Xian's prestige."

During this period of time, when no one was around, Su Jin would quietly practice basic skills such as bending down, lifting legs, and splits.

Fortunately, the original owner had very good physical fitness and was born with the advantage of flexibility.

Therefore, after just a few days of practice, she has gradually regained the light and agile feeling she once had when dancing.

Now I can control various movements with ease and comfort.

As he spoke, Su Jin had already walked slowly into the center of the hall with confident and light steps.

When He Ye saw this, she tactfully retreated to the side, but her eyes revealed a hint of imperceptible pride.

She knew very well that not everyone could dance the Green Waist Dance well. The most crucial point was that the dancer's waist had to be extremely flexible.

Because the old emperor had praised her green waist dance, the master allowed her to come to Dayan as the queen's maid.

Wan Yi, who was sitting down, looked up and glanced at the Queen who was sitting on the seat. After seeing her nod slightly, he gently stretched out his hands and plucked the strings of the zither, playing a beautiful melody as an accompaniment for Su Jin who was about to dance.
