What she said was a bit far-fetched, but who would dare to refute the concubine's opinion? All the young ladies turned their eyes to Jiang Mingzhi, wanting to see how she would respond.
How could Jiang Mingzhi dance? Bai Hui Niang actually made her look bad with such a lame excuse. Isn't it too ridiculous?
"It's not that Mingzhi doesn't want to dance, but Mingzhi has been ill for more than ten years and can't dance..."
"It's okay!" Bai Huiniang suddenly covered her mouth and laughed. She pointed at Jiang Mingzhi and said to Han Qingyue beside her, "Look how scared she is. It's as if I'm someone you don't like to get along with!"
She pretended to be generous and stood up, walked to Jiang Mingzhi's side, and resisted the urge to vomit. She took Jiang Mingzhi's hand and said, "Why are you so nervous? I don't eat people. Come, I will teach you."
There was a provocation in her tone that only the two of them understood. Jiang Mingzhi's mind came back to the time when he and Bai Hui Niang confronted each other at Daci Temple. She said that Bai Hui Niang used to dance in the lower class.
It seems that Bai Hui Niang is still resentful about this incident, and she even wants to take the opportunity to humiliate her whenever she gets the chance.
"It's too narrow here, let's jump upstairs."
The pleasure boat has two floors, and the second floor is great for enjoying the scenery or dancing. Bai Hui Niang pulled Jiang Mingzhi upstairs, but after she took two steps, her heartbeat accelerated. Zhou Suihuan was afraid of heights, and so was Jiang Mingzhi.
The pleasure boat was already swaying as it sailed on the water. When Bai Huiniang pulled her upstairs like this, Jiang Mingzhi couldn't help but slow down her pace due to the fear and the shaking. She couldn't help but shake her head, as if she wanted to shake the fear out of her head, but it was obviously useless. When she opened her eyes again, the fear still invaded her.
"Concubine..."
She didn't dare go any further, so she stopped and called out, "Bai Hui Niang."
Bai Hui Niang had already stepped on the last step of the ladder. She paused when she heard the sound and turned to look behind her. She saw Jiang Mingzhi's fear, the trembling voice and the somewhat aggrieved expression. If others saw it, they would definitely feel soft-hearted. But today she had to let Jiang Mingzhi know how powerful she was. Since everyone else was fooled by her, she would take action herself.
The coldness in her eyes flashed across her face, and the hand that held Jiang Mingzhi became tighter and tighter. "Don't be afraid, I'm here and I won't let you fall."
Jiang Mingzhi looked back and saw that all the ladies who were in the cabin of the pleasure boat had come out.
Only then did she realize that she hadn't noticed that Pei Jinrou was also on the boat! And she was looking at her with a look of anticipation, a smile that seemed to be half a smile.
Just as she was distracted, Bai Hui Niang found strength from nowhere and dragged her up.
Because he used too much force, he almost pulled her to the ground. Fortunately, Jiang Mingzhi came to his senses and grabbed a pillar next to him with one hand, which prevented Bai Hui Niang from falling.
I have to say that the pleasure boat in Prince Jin's Mansion is really big. The second floor can accommodate more than ten people to enjoy singing and dancing again. There is a large open space in the middle, which is enough for a troupe to perform.
Bai Hui Niang stood firm, holding Jiang Mingzhi's hand, with a not-so-friendly smile on her lips, "Come on, dance the way I dance!"
As she spoke, she exerted force on her hands and pulled Jiang Mingzhi over. Fortunately, she was prepared, otherwise she would have been thrown out from the railing.
Just as she managed to steady herself, Bai Hui Niang's next move followed: "When doing this movement, you need to stretch your body a little, otherwise you'll look petty."
It's ridiculous. How generous can the dance performed by a low-class dancer be?
Jiang Mingzhi suppressed his dizziness and nausea, and tried his best to concentrate on dealing with Bai Huiniang. At this moment, a little maid hurried up from downstairs, "Your Majesty, the prince is here!"
