Prince Shou was grateful that Lian Muhan had saved Dongfang Ruoxue's life. As for his daughter's reputation, although Lian Muhan was not the son of a powerful official in the court, Prince Shou could not help but look up to him because of his relationship with the prince. Over the years, the changes in imperial power and the royal family struggles made him realize the importance of this relationship. With this kind of relationship, it was only a matter of time before he would become a powerful official.

From the time Dongfang Ruoxue got ashore to the time she changed her clothes, there was a hint of shyness on the corners of her mouth, but she also had a smile on her face. She had already secretly given her heart to Lian Muhan, thinking that she would never have a chance in this life. However, she had not expected that he would actually save her life. Even if her reputation in this life was ruined, she was willing to do it. She had not expected that her father had a different opinion of Lian Muhan.

Next is a performance to celebrate the birthday.

It had been decided long ago that the daughter would perform to celebrate the birthday. Which daughter wouldn't want to show up at this palace banquet?

First, the singing and dancing girls from the palace came on stage, and after the singing and dancing, it was the turn of the daughters of the families.

Dongfang Ruoxue painted another picture for the empress, which was a picture of a graceful peony. After the painting was completed, a pair of butterflies flew over from somewhere. When they flew over the peony, they actually stopped and landed on it. Everyone exclaimed in surprise and applauded. The butterflies were startled and flew away, but still hovered around, obviously not wanting to miss this delicate flower that they had never seen before.

Queen Yun clapped her hands in delight: "The princess's paintings are getting better and better. Even butterflies can't be distinguished from the real ones..."

Someone presented the painting to the Queen, and the butterflies kept circling and following. The Queen took the painting and looked at the butterflies again, the joy in her eyes growing more and more. Dongfang Ruoxue turned around and saw Lian Muhan standing next to her brother. At this moment, he stood with her brother, with a very different demeanor, but his limelight was not overshadowed by her brother at all. Dongfang Ruoxue only took a glance at him, and her heart was pounding. She still blushed and her heart was beating fast after she stepped down...

Dongfang Run and Lian Muhan stood together. The reason why Dongfang Run stood next to Lian Muhan was mainly because Lian Muhan saved his sister and he went to thank him.

Prince Dongfang Jin was standing in the crowd at this moment, looking at An Qingran who was in a white dress in front of him. The look in his eyes was still uneasy. He could not forget the scene just now, and he could not imagine what would happen if he did not arrive in time?

Although he had crippled that bastard Qin Jianren, he still couldn't get rid of the hatred in his heart.

He was thinking about how to deal with that thing.

The most annoyed person now is Dongfang Ye. He searched for Qin Jianren for a long time but couldn't find him. However, he knew very well what had happened. He never thought that Qin Jianren would attack An Qingran. An Qingran was the woman he wanted to marry, but he dared to interfere, and used such despicable means. If An Qingran really got involved with him, would she be okay?

But this beast is so bold that he actually dares to do such a thing in the palace!

He forgot that Qin Jianren had already told him his purpose, so wasn't he still an accomplice?

At this time, the sound of piano rang out. Two beauties sat opposite each other on the stage. The two pianos were not far apart. The sounds of the pianos were one high and one low, just like two birds chasing each other, and finally flew into the air. They could no longer be distinguished, there was only one song, so harmonious!

These two people were An Yanran and An Ranyue. They had already made up their minds to stand out before they came. Although there were the three best in the capital before them, An Yanran had already secretly learned a lot of Qin Xiangning's piano skills, and the two of them had been practicing secretly for a long time, just to prepare for occasions like today.

The last time at the Lou Mansion, they didn’t have the chance to perform on stage, and An Qingran stole the limelight. How could they possibly swallow this?

The two's performances were a perfect match and won everyone's applause.

Lou Wanyue's flying dance stunned the audience.

The piano skills that Qin Xiangning still performed were indeed unique. After all, she was worthy of being one of the three best in the capital, and her piano skills were even better than those of An Yanran and An Ranyue.

After her performance, An Qingran stepped forward and said, "The Queen is so kind and saved my life. I have no way to repay her. I want to dance for her as a token of my gratitude."

Queen Yun was delighted when she heard this: "Great! Today is a good day for me. I am not afraid of the crowds. I have heard that you dance beautifully. It is a good opportunity for me to enjoy the show..."

An Qingran stood up slowly, wearing a white dress. After experiencing what happened just now, there was a hint of determination and tranquility on her face, and her eyes were distant, as if she no longer belonged to this world at this moment. She was an elf who had accidentally fallen into the mortal world from somewhere. Just standing there made everyone's heart ache. This girl was definitely meant to be pampered, and no amount of love would be too much.

The music started, and she chose an ancient piece of music. She was barefoot, as if she had come from the ancient world, had gone through hardships, and suddenly discovered the human world. Her face was obsessed and happy. She jumped into the air and knelt on the ground, causing the crowd to roar. If she didn't control the strength just right, she would definitely hurt her knees, but she hit the ground silently. Someone knew clearly that this girl either had martial arts skills, or she had practiced this dance to perfection...

The expression on An Qingran's face infected everyone. She played and lingered, all so vividly as if everyone was there in person. They saw the most beautiful world through her eyes!

But suddenly, panic appeared on her face. That expression was one of fear, reluctance, and understanding. No one knew how such a little girl could have so many expressions on her face, and they were expressed so well. Everyone could clearly hear their own heartbeats, and felt panic and reluctance with her. Was she going to leave?

Where is she going?

On the stage, her waist was flexible and the dance she performed was incredible to everyone. Some even felt that she was exactly the same as Lou Wanyue, who was known for her dancing skills. However, her dance was even better and not only astonishing, but also able to penetrate into people's souls, making people's hearts tighten and breathe with this elf on the stage!

Until the elf flew high up, then landed heavily, struggling, gasping, and finally fell to the ground, without a sound...

Everyone was sweating. Even after the dance was over, everyone was still shocked. It was the first time for them to read a story from a dance. This was unprecedented. They didn't understand why she could perform so well. Everyone had their own story in their hearts, but they didn't know if it was consistent with the dancer's expression.

Even the queen was surprised. Seeing An Qingran get up, she breathed a sigh of relief. The moment she fell to the ground, she was really worried: "Qingran, can you tell me what the dance you performed really means? It makes me feel sad!"
