The concubine is a man, and the illegitimate son of a divine physician has a spatial ability.

Master Yang nodded and said with satisfaction, "So the young lady knew! Then why didn't you practice harder? You're so reckless, your hair ornaments fly around when you walk, let alone dance."

"Come over here to be punished yourself, don't make me go over there. Also, remember what I said: you have a great talent for dancing, and with a little more effort, you will definitely become the number one dancer in the Great Sheng Dynasty."

Yin Zijing felt a little scared and nervous, but he still mustered up his courage and walked forward. Master Yang held a thick bamboo stick in his hand, and he swung it mercilessly, striking Yin Zijing's slender calves hard.

Instantly, a sharp pain shot through Yin Zijing's entire body, causing him to tremble uncontrollably. However, Yin Zijing bit his thin lips tightly, trying his best to suppress the urge to scream in agony.

He didn't want others to see her vulnerable side. Although tears were welling up in his eyes and cold sweat had soaked his forehead, he remained silent.

Ah Tian and Ru He, who were standing nearby, couldn't help but feel sorry for her.

While hitting her, Master Yang said, "Don't be afraid, young lady. These bamboo strips are specially made. They won't tear your skin or hurt your delicate skin."

It will only cause the girl severe pain, so she'll learn her lesson.

After finishing, Master Yang let Yin Zijing rest for a while before leading her to several rows of lit candles. The distance between each pair of candles was very close, and you could easily bump into them if you weren't careful.

Master Yang gestured, "Let's walk around and see how the girl's practice has gone."

With all her might, Yin Zijin, her bound feet light and graceful, passed through the lit candles.

Master Yang nodded in satisfaction, a pleased smile on his face. He affirmed Yin Zijing's performance but also pointed out some shortcomings.

Then, she took out a long water sleeve, two or three meters long, from the side and handed it to Yin Zijin, instructing her, "You can go even faster, and your steps should be even lighter. Now put on this water sleeve and then walk through those candles."

"No matter what method you use, as long as you can successfully pass through without your water sleeves falling to the ground, it proves you've practiced well. Then you can practice on the drum, and it will be twice as effective." After saying that, he took a few steps back, his gaze fixed intently on Yin Zijing, anticipating her performance.

Yin Zijing donned the purple flowing sleeves, resembling an elegant peacock spreading its magnificent feathers. He gently grasped the two- or three-meter-long sleeves, feeling their soft yet resilient texture. He took a deep breath, encouraging himself and telling himself to believe in himself.

He stood confidently before the candles, like a nimble sprite. With a flick of his flowing sleeves, he instantly blossomed like a flower, exuding a captivating fragrance. His movements were light and fluid, like a purple butterfly dancing freely in the air. Every turn, every leap was filled with power and beauty, mesmerizing the viewer.

All the movements were performed in one smooth motion. Once Yin Zijin had stood still, her purple water sleeves slowly fell down...

Master Yang smiled with satisfaction, inspected the sleeves and said, "There are a few holes burned in them. Keep practicing until you can practice without making a single mistake."

Yin Zijing nodded, took out a white handkerchief, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and continued practicing...

Master Yang sat there, watching Yin Zijing practice, sipping hot tea and waving to A-Tian.

When Ah Tian arrived, Master Yang handed him two pairs of underpants and instructed him, "These underpants are woven layer by layer from the finest silkworm silk, with the addition of special materials, making them quite heavy. Let the girl wear them starting tomorrow!"

It's not that Zijing is a girl, but her calves are so thick, it's really not aesthetically pleasing when she dances.

Moreover, these trousers are quite heavy. After a while, when a girl wears them and walks, her steps will become lighter and her body more supple. This will make her dancing even more graceful and beautiful.

Granny Zhou's heart skipped a beat. She glanced at Yin Zijing's calves and, before A-Tian could speak, quickly said, "Master Yang, don't worry, leave this to me! I guarantee I'll complete the task..."

Before dawn the next day, Ah Tian dressed Yin Zijin in the underpants that Master Yang had given her. Yin Zijin woke up feeling uncomfortable and said, "Why are these pants so tight, so constricting, and so heavy?"

Ah Tian quickly replied, "This is what Master Yang instructed me to wear every day."

Yin Zijing looked at the thing that resembled modern stockings, but was tighter, more constricting, and heavier, and sighed.

Yin Zijing got off the bed, her legs feeling like they were made of lead, and moved forward, feeling the dense pressure on her legs...
