In the eyes of Qingge and the other women, the songs and dances of Weilong Kingdom were monotonous and lacked any beauty, and even the musicians who provided the accompaniment had a lifeless rhythm.
Huang Xi, who was eating, couldn't stand the singing and dancing any longer. She threw down her chopsticks and said impatiently, "Stop dancing! Stop dancing! It's one thing for a male dancer to be ugly, but his dancing is as lifeless as a ritual dance. Are you going to a funeral?"
The handsome young man in the audience blushed at Huang Xi's words and lowered his head, not daring to speak.
"Huang Xi!" Lan Ying coldly reprimanded, "We're in the palace now, so you'd better watch your attitude and follow the rules!"
Chengxi secretly glanced at Qingyang's face and saw that he was smiling and didn't seem angry. She gently said, "You should be careful in front of the King."
"Yes, Your Majesty has treated us to such delicious food, so please bear with it!" Green Embroidery also disliked the lifeless singing and dancing, speaking indifferently, but chewing her food vigorously.
Huang Xi said irritably, "We were having a nice dinner together, but this singing and dancing has completely ruined my mood! How am I supposed to eat now?!"
Qingyang understood that these ladies were from the Kingdom of Shuyi, which possessed artistic talents, and naturally looked down on the songs and dances of the Kingdom of Weilong. He smiled and said, "If the ladies do not like it, then I will have them leave. Dige, you may leave."
The handsome young man nodded, bowed respectfully, and then withdrew.
"Musicians, why don't you play some more cheerful tunes for our ladies to enjoy?" Qingyang said with a smile.
"Yes." The musicians nodded in unison, their faces full of respect.
"I don't need you!" Huang Xi finished his drink and waved his hand. "Let me do it!"
As he spoke, he leaped down to one of the musicians. Seeing Huang Xi's menacing demeanor, the musician instinctively stepped aside.
Seeing this, Yang Wei frowned and muttered, "What a spineless coward!"
With a smile on her face, Huang Xi sat in the musician's seat and said to Lan Ying and the others, "Sisters, why don't we join forces and show the King what heavenly music and extraordinary dance are all about!"
"This, this isn't right..."
Just as Lan Ying was about to refuse, footsteps suddenly approached. Before the person could appear, a familiar voice was heard: "Since you're so interested, I suggest we all demonstrate some advanced techniques together!"
Upon hearing the voice of the person who had arrived, Yang Wei was the first to stand up, looking expectantly at the door. Soon after, Qingge appeared.
With her stunning beauty, Qingge is even more breathtaking after careful makeup. At this moment, she is wearing a pink dress, a peach blossom headdress, and light pink lipstick, which looks absolutely gorgeous.
Ten personal maids followed closely behind her, each one beautiful and talented.
"Your subject Yang Wei pays respects to Princess Qingge." Yang Wei stepped forward excitedly, bowed respectfully, and said loudly.
Qingge glanced at Yang Wei and said with a smile, "I was able to return safely thanks to General Yang!"
"To meet Your Highness is the greatest blessing of my life, and to save Your Highness is the happiest moment of my life," Yang Wei said, overjoyed, as this was the first time he had spoken with Qingge.
Qingge smiled slightly, "Don't say that. If you say that, I don't know what to ask my brother to reward you with."
"Your subject dares not presume!" Yang Wei hurriedly replied.
Qingge smiled faintly and didn't continue the topic. Instead, she turned to look at Lan Ying and the other women, who were also smiling at her.
She immediately smiled and said, "I am very happy today. How about I lead the dance for this performance?"
"Of course!" Lan Ying nodded in agreement before anyone could speak.
"You ladies, choose dance dresses for the female generals! And distribute my jewelry to them as well," Qingge said, turning to the maids behind her.
"Yes!" Upon hearing the words of the four female generals, the maids exchanged glances and nodded in fear.
Hearing Qingge's words, Yang Wei was somewhat stunned. Weren't Lan Ying and the others the princess's personal female attendants? How did they become generals? And female generals at that!
Just as she was about to speak, Qingyang laughed and stepped down from the dragon throne to greet her, "Your Majesty, you've just recovered from a serious illness and look radiant. Are you fully recovered?"
Qingge smiled slightly, "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. I'm recovering very quickly!"
"It will probably take some time for the ladies to change their clothes. Please come and take a seat with me, Your Highness!" Qingyang said, intentionally or unintentionally, instead of continuing her conversation with Qingge.
Qingge glanced at Yang Wei and saw that he was slightly lost in thought. She smiled and said to Qingyang, "I still have to go out and perform for my brother later, so I won't go up and take a seat."
Qingyang was slightly taken aback, but didn't say anything.
Seeing that Lan Ying and the others had already left with the maids to change into their dance dresses, he immediately whispered to Qing Ge:
"Your Majesty, the Weilong Kingdom has always had men as generals. Your appointment of four female generals might cause the other generals to..."
“As my brother also said, it has been like this since ancient times, but in our generation there is only General Yang. He is overwhelmed and exhausted. All four city gates need a general to guard them. It would be perfect to send them to relieve General Yang’s burden! What’s wrong with that?” Qingge said loudly without any hesitation.
Upon hearing Qingge's explanation, Qingyang immediately understood the pros and cons and nodded, saying, "Since Your Majesty has considered everything so thoroughly, then it's settled. Tomorrow, Your Majesty will post the imperial edict to inform the world that the Weilong Kingdom has gained four new female generals."
Qingge nodded. "They would be so happy if they knew!"
Yang Wei frowned as he watched Qingge and Qingyang sing in unison, thinking to himself: They're trying to make me relinquish power to others!
