Seeing Lingzhi blinking her big watery eyes and looking at Ye Wanning with a puzzled look, Xiao Qingyun opposite her laughed secretly.
He knew this girl's abilities. She was just a maid in the Shen Mansion, so she probably didn't have the chance to learn any dance music.
I wonder what talents you can perform?
Lingzhi, who was waiting for a jade ruyi to fall from the sky, felt upset when he heard this.
After all this trouble, we still have to perform?
Didn’t Lin Yao run away? Just give Yu Ruyi to her.
Seeing that everyone was looking at her, it seemed that they would not let her take it for free.
Lingzhi lowered his eyes and thought for a while, then a light bulb went off in his head and he immediately had an idea.
She immediately walked onto the stage and bowed to the Queen Mother and the crowd below. "I don't know any dance music, but I've learned a few tricks on the street. I'm sorry to show you my ugliness."
After hearing this, Ye Wanning laughed secretly: I knew you couldn't do it, let me see how you make a fool of yourself.
The crowd below was also discussing:
"You dare to show the Empress Dowager what you learned on the street, and you are not afraid of polluting her eyes."
"That's right, things from the market are not worthy of being in a refined place after all."
"He's a complete stranger after all!"
Lingzhi looked around and pointed at the woman who was talking the loudest. She said, "Madam, may I borrow your handkerchief?"
The lady was talking excitedly, and when she saw this, she was stunned for a moment, then took out her handkerchief and put it in Lingzhi's hand.
Lingzhi walked into the crowd with a handkerchief, rolled up her sleeves slightly, and raised her hands to show everyone.
"Everyone, take a good look. There's nothing in my hand."
As she spoke, she raised the borrowed handkerchief and shook it.
"I'm sure everyone has seen this. This is the handkerchief I just borrowed. There's nothing strange about it, right?"
Everyone present shook their heads and looked at her curiously.
The Queen Mother on the Phoenix Throne and Xiao Qingyun and Ye Wanning, whom she attacked, also looked at Lingzhi with confusion.
Su Shisan on the other side shouted directly: "What are you doing? Hurry up and perform!"
"Okay, everyone, watch carefully!"
Lingzhi said this, covering her other hand with a handkerchief, and looking at the guests with a smile on her face.
"Look! What is this?"
She quickly lifted the handkerchief covering her hand.
Everyone saw a bird standing in Lingzhi's hand. The moment the handkerchief was opened, the bird flapped its wings and flew out of the hall.
“Wow, that’s amazing!”
The whole room was filled with exclamations.
Lingzhi glanced at the amazed crowd with satisfaction, then looked apologetically at the eunuch outside the hall who was carrying an empty birdcage and chasing the bird, and walked to the dining table in front of Su Shisan.
Seeing her approach him, Su Shisan looked at her curiously and whispered, "You're not going to turn me into a bird, are you?"
Lingzhi knew he was joking again, so she ignored him and just picked up a red apple from the fruit plate in front of him.
She covered the red apple with her handkerchief and blew gently on it.
After a moment, she quickly lifted her handkerchief.
The red apple disappeared, but there were a few grapes in her palm.
Su Shisan picked up a grape, tasted it, and nodded, "It's really real, and quite sweet!"
“It’s amazing!”
All the guests applauded and were stunned for a moment.
Only Xiao Qingyun lowered his head, his shoulders shaking. He must have been having a hard time holding back his laughter.
Lingzhi glanced at him out of the corner of her eye.
He knew that she had a Qiankun bag in her sleeve.
After all, it was he who had the dress made, and he saw with his own eyes how she sewed the Qiankun bag into the sleeve.
In fact, she didn't think too much about it at the beginning. She just thought that there must be a lot of delicious food in the palace, and she could sew a Qiankun bag to secretly bring some back.
I didn't expect it to come in handy.
"This girl's magic tricks are really interesting. Come here and let me see them!" The Queen Mother called Lingzhi.
Lingzhi quickly walked towards the Queen Mother and slowly covered her with a handkerchief: "My daughter also has a gift for the Queen Mother."
"Oh, what is it? Let me see it."
The Queen Mother looked curious and stared at the handkerchief in her palm.
Lingzhi walked forward step by step, stepped onto the stairs, came in front of the empress dowager, and slowly lifted the handkerchief.
Under the handkerchief was a very big, round birthday peach.
The Queen Mother exclaimed: "How interesting!"
Lingzhi stepped down the steps and bowed to the Queen Mother: "I wish the Queen Mother eternal youth and a long life!"
"Good! Excellent!"
The Queen Mother smiled and said, "I am very pleased with your gift!"
Lingzhi also laughed: "I know that my singing, dancing and piano skills are not as good as those of the other ladies, so I can only use some tricks to get by. It is my blessing to be able to make the Queen Mother smile."
"You are not only good-looking, but also very intelligent. I like you very much. Aunt Qi, please reward me with a jade ruyi!"
After the Queen Mother finished speaking, she turned and glanced at the old nanny behind her.
"yes!"
The old nanny immediately came forward with the jade ruyi.
Lingzhi hurriedly thanked the Queen Mother, took the jade ruyi with shining eyes, and held it in her arms as if it were her treasure.
Behind him, Su Shisan took the lead in clapping, and the others followed suit.
Xiao Qingyun also looked at Lingzhi and couldn't help but smile.
This made Ye Wanning, who had been keeping an eye on him, even more angry.
She was mad with jealousy, her eyes were like poison, and she almost tore the handkerchief in her hand into pieces, but she was completely unaware of it.
