In the dance studio, four light trees illuminated the entire room as bright as day. The couple in the audience turned into little fans, staring intently at the stage.

Mingxi performed a ribbon dance. With colorful ribbons and silk scarves fluttering, she hung upside down from the ground, twirled in dazzling circles, her toes tense, each movement smooth and skillful.

In this dance, Landie danced as smoothly as flowing water, with an ethereal and agile demeanor, while her own daughter was simply performing.

After the dance, the father was so excited that he even used his cane to pick up his daughter, whose face was flushed from exhaustion, and said, "Mingxi is amazing!"

"The ribbon dance is the most difficult to learn, but Mingxi danced flawlessly, perfectly!" Wangshu slowly stood up in his soft slippers. He waited for someone to hold his daughter close, then, like a magician, pulled out a woven, almost illusory peony from behind his back. "Here, thank you, baby."

Mingxi took it and looked at it from left to right. The large peony flower, woven with colorful cotton threads, still retained a sense of elegance and luxury even in winter. "Wow, mother, it looks just like the real thing!"

"Tomorrow is the first day of the new year, and I will do another dance, a different one."

Wangshu stood on tiptoe to kiss her little face, "Then mother will start waiting from now on."

Next was Qin Yunxiao's somersault. He wore a loose cotton suit for winter training, tied his feet and wrists, and started somersaulting as soon as he stepped on the stage. He did somersaults until his eyes rolled back. When he finished, he was still a little dizzy and disoriented.

Qin Xiuyuan was very satisfied and cheered loudly, "Eighty-one!"

He went up to half-support and half-carry the person. Qin Yunxiao hugged his mother's waist to calm down the dizziness. Seeing his mother holding a box, he immediately stopped feeling dizzy and smiled, "Thank you, mother!"

When I opened it, I saw a simple small dagger made of fine steel. When it was unscabbarded, it shone with a cold light like lightning. There was a small knife in every bead of sweat on the forehead.

Qin Xiuyuan warned his son to be careful, "It's very sharp, don't use it casually, use it as a self-defense weapon."

"Yes!" Qin Yunxiao held the dagger in reverse and waved it a few times, very excited. "Mom, I have my second show tomorrow! You will definitely like it!"

He was a little sleepy just now, and someone noticed it. Wangshu smiled and flattered his son, "I knew Yun Xiao had some tricks up his sleeve!"

Sure enough, Qin Xiuyuan saw his son's nose in the air again, and he was so arrogant, "Of course!"

"Okay, mother has also prepared a new gift..."

Xiaoqing came over and squatted down to help the mistress put on outdoor leather boots. She was about to unbutton the inner button of her coat to make it easier to walk, but Qin Xiuyuan stopped her, "It's too cold, don't unbutton it, I'll hold her."

Lanterns hung high in the pavilion, the snow had been swept clear, and the newly laid wheat straw lay dry and flat. Wangshu hid her head and face in her sable cloak, while Qin Xiuyuan carried her like a princess in one hand and leaned on his cane with the other, walking steadily.

Wangshu, who was used to being held, was not afraid. Instead, Yun Xiao and Ming Xi protected Baba from both sides and watched him. Even Xiao Qing and Qin San came over just in case.

The brother and sister returned to their room, while Qin San and Qin Si brought people to stay up all night to celebrate the New Year.

Qin Yunxiao took the dagger and let his sister play with it first, while he played with the peony flower himself, "I want this too!"

Mingxi, who was taught by Qin San how to hold a dagger, shook the dagger and said, "It would be great if mother could give me a dagger tomorrow!"

The brother and sister have always had a regular schedule. It would be impossible for them to stay up all night without the guidance of their elders. After a while, Qin Yunxiao fell asleep holding a dagger and Qin Mingxi fell asleep holding a peony.

In the master bedroom, thousands of lights shine from the lamp tree, and clothes are scattered.

The wool carpet was in a mess. In the middle of the carpet, a couple was facing each other and hugging each other openly. Wangshu, with two loose braids, was hugged tightly.

"Shushu, big eyes and small appetite..."

……

Qin Xiuyuan and the others calmed down and teased her, "Do one of the dances you usually watch for your husband?"

Wangshu refused. He knew that his daughter's hard work and study could not even reach one-third of others' talent. She was just imitating others and was a laughing stock.

It makes Landie look like Xi Shi.

Qin Xiuyuan said calmly, "She can dance here for you, her ancestors are so lucky. She's nothing but a Xi Shi."

If Shushu hadn't protected her beauty, she would have been ruined by that bastard Akbar. How could she have lived peacefully in the mansion for four years?

Qin Xiuyuan used his crutch to pick up the mink fur coat and covered the woman with it. He pressed it against the man, providing him with warmth. Wangshu didn't feel cold at all. "No."

"Dancing for your husband, sweetheart?" After a pause, "If you don't dance, I'll start!"

The man immediately picked up the silk suspenders and whispered something in Wangshu's ear. Wangshu blushed, "You're doing this again..."

"no the same…"

Qin Xiuyuan put the clothes on the person, patted her little butt, asked her to sit down first, and then he cleaned up everything on the sandalwood table, spread a wool carpet that never gets boring, and carried the person up. The fairy sat there alone, pure and charming, with her curves fully exposed.

"What are you thinking about when you're dressed like this in the dance studio?" Qin Xiuyuan stood on one leg and kissed her. "You can watch that woman dance, but you are not allowed to have any other thoughts or actions."

"What thoughts and actions?"

"She's the type who attracts both men and women. What are you talking about?" Qin Xiuyuan said disdainfully, which piqued Wangshu's curiosity. He held the other person's hand and asked, "Who is the woman? Who is the man?"

"I told you, you have to promise me one thing." Qin Xiuyuan touched her and liked to see her blushing face.

"I'm not as good as a mirror!" Someone reported even the most private dances, and it even became a lesbian affair!

Qin Xiuyuan stood there and smoothed her over, "She was sent to the Prince Consort's mansion as a maid when she was thirteen. But the Prince Consort was afraid of his wife, so he took her in. Later, when Chang'an was besieged and Changping lost power, they sent her back to the Third Prince for fear that she would benefit from the Prince Consort."

"How do you collect and use it?"

Wangshu was very curious about how far people could go in ancient times.

Qin Xiuyuan couldn't elaborate, "I quite like Changping. It simply relieves my loneliness and isn't a nuisance."

"You know so much."

The man smiled and said, "Zheng Da likes to dig into people's private affairs. If you want to know anything, you can ask him. There are many secrets in big families."

"I don't want to hear what others say." Wangshu approached him, "Brother Xiuyuan, it's a bit cold."

"Okay, I'll warm you up right away."

The hot water prepared outside the house had cooled down, so Xiaoqing watched over it herself and asked someone to get a hotter one.

The mistress had a falling out with the elders, and Tang Bo was drunk and went to bed early. Chun Yang entrusted his daughter to the care of a maid and followed her in the main courtyard to keep an eye on her.

Xiaoqing whispered to her to go back, "I'll be watching, it's okay."

Even from a distance, one could hear the occasional noise coming from the room. Chun Yang was a little worried, "I need to persuade the Madam~"

The general is in his prime, but his wife can't stand it.

"A few days ago, at General Ah's residence..."

He was tortured to death.

Xiaoqing gritted her teeth in fear.

Inside the room, wrapped in a mink fur coat, they both lay down in the rocking chair. Qin Xiuyuan naturally heard the chatter outside, but Wangshu couldn't hear anything. She let the man slowly massage her belly...

“…You are a dog…” Your words don’t count!

"Okay." At this critical moment, it was really difficult to control.

"If you do this again..."

"Absolutely not."

Qin Xiuyuan didn't want anyone to say harsh words; he was even more afraid of another pregnancy. Fate wouldn't always be smooth sailing, but Heaven had already been kind enough to them both.
