That was Tang Ruozhi, the daughter of the Tang family. She was wearing a light red dance dress and dancing gracefully in the center of the stage with her sleeves fluttering. After the song "Jinghong Dance" was over, applause broke out.

I have to say, she danced really well. Even after the dance ended, Jin Suting was still in a daze for a long time.

Tang Ruozhi was calm and composed. He bowed to the Queen Mother, walked off the stage gracefully, and walked towards Jin Suting.

Only then did Jin Suting realize that there was an empty seat next to Jin Xiyan, which was probably reserved for the daughter of the Tang family.

Tang Wuqiang, Tang Ruozhi's father, is the Prime Minister of Fuding State and one of the most trusted ministers of the current Queen Mother.

If we say that the kingdom of Fuding was conquered by the General's Mansion, then Prime Minister Tang had made an indispensable contribution to the prosperity of Fuding.

The Tang family was not only involved in official circles, but also opened more than a dozen shops across the country of Fuding, covering clothing, food, housing, and transportation. They had silk shops, restaurants, inns, and the royal family was also allowed to sell horses.

In short, it means both power and money.

Jin Suting’s favorite snack shop, Tang Ji, is owned by the Tang family.

So Jin Suting still has a good impression of the Tang family.

She greeted Tang Ruozhi and said, "Miss Tang, your dancing skills are truly amazing!"

"Who are you?"

How could Miss Tang be so arrogant and rude? Jin Suting was a little surprised, but she had the capital to be so arrogant, a leader in the upper class, among the noble ladies of Fu Ning. She mistook her arrogance for being aloof and described looking down on others as noble.

Jin Suting's favorability towards Tang Ruozhi dropped several points in an instant.

Seeing her being humiliated, Jin Xiyan smiled with gloating delight and enthusiastically introduced her to Tang Ruozhi, "This is my elder sister, the famous Miss Jin Suting of the General's Mansion."

When Tang Ruozhi heard that it was Jin Suting, the contempt and disgust on his face became even more pronounced.

Jin Xiwen had ruined Jin Suting's reputation in Funing. It wasn't just the common people and the boredom of the crowd who were criticizing her; even the ladies in her circle were dressing in outrageous ways.

Especially when Jin Xiwen got into trouble again, even those stupid people wanted to suspect that it was Jin Suting's doing.

"Really? Anyone dares to attend a banquet hosted by the royal family. Aren't they afraid of polluting everyone's eyes?" Tang Ruozhi fiddled with his nails, and his words drifted into Jin Suting's ears vaguely.

If this happened outside, Jin Suting would have pounced on her and beat her up, but now it was under the emperor's nose.

Calm down, calm down. Jin Suting ignored Tang Ruozhi and turned around to continue chatting with Yu Qinglan.

The big drama that Jin Xiyan was expecting did not happen. She looked at Tang Ruozhi, who had an expression as if she had done nothing. It was time to drink tea and watch the show.

Jin Xiyan wanted to use Tang Ruozhi as a pawn, but she didn't expect that Tang Ruozhi was so skilled that he didn't fall for it at all.

Jin Xiyan was sulking alone, her mouth pouting to her forehead, and Jin Suting got goosebumps when she saw it.

Jin Suting didn't really want to watch the following talent show. The singing sounded like opera, or the voices were not beautiful. As a senior voice control, she was extremely demanding on the voice; as for dancing, after Tang Ruozhi's stunning performance, the following ones were nothing compared to her; as for musical instruments, to be honest, she had no recognition of musical instruments and couldn't tell the difference between the guqin and the guzheng.

So she was extremely bored and could only talk to Yu Qinglan.

At this time, Jin Xiyan stood up and went downstairs to prepare. Yu Qinglan reminded her quietly, "Sister Su, after Miss Yan is done, you will be the next one."

Um???

Jin Suting was stunned for a moment. They were only the first few to arrive at the General's Mansion? Shouldn't they be the last to arrive?

Yu Qinglan smiled understandingly, "Aren't you ready yet?"

Jin Suting nodded solemnly, "Sister Yu, can you take my place first?"

"Sure." Yu Qinglan hadn't planned on being chosen; she already had someone in her heart. She hadn't really prepared, but she simply couldn't lose face for the Grand Tutor's Mansion. So, it didn't matter which one she went up first or last.

Jin Xiyan had already started her performance on the stage, and Jin Suting was watching attentively.

She wanted to take a good look at what her sister was doing dressed so gaudy.

But the result surprised her. Jin Xiyan actually wanted to dance!

Or the dance of the Western Regions? In Funing, the Western Regions encompasses Tibet and Xinjiang.

In other words, she is going to dance a hot Xinjiang dance.

Jin Suting couldn't help but worry for her. With so many jewelries on her head, wouldn't her head be very tired soon?

Jin Xiyan twisted her waist, her eyes sparkled, and the pearl hairpin on her head swayed, just like a strong wind shaking the branches, making a sound of metal clashing.

But when she turned her head, her body was very stiff, as if she had a stiff neck, yet she insisted on challenging such a spiritual dance.

Jin Suting couldn't help but hold her forehead with her hand. She was still standing behind Tang Ruo, which was really like showing off her skills in front of Guan Gong.

The funniest thing was that when Jin Xiyan was halfway through her dance, the pearl hairpins on her head fell off, not one, but three.

It fell on the smooth floor, making a "bang" sound, which was the sound of money breaking.

The dance ended very awkwardly, and the whole audience was silent for a few seconds. I don't know whether it was out of respect for the General's Mansion or out of Jin Xiyan's fearlessness in having the courage to challenge the difficult dance, but there was a burst of untidy and sparse applause in Zuixianlou.

Next it was Yu Qinglan's turn to perform. She held a pipa in her hand and played a piece called "High Mountains and Flowing Water".

The charming melody flowed out from her, and even Jin Suting, who didn't know much about it, was a little addicted to it.

Such a wonderful sound, anyone would be addicted to it.

The song ends.

Jin Suting calmed down and had already thought about what talent she wanted to show.
