Emperor Kangxi said, "I misspoke. My beloved concubine's beauty is indeed unparalleled in the world."
Wanwan: "You know that's good. You should be secretly happy to have such a beautiful wife like me."
Kangxi immediately seized the opportunity and said, "Yes, yes, my beloved is the most beautiful person in the world. I am so fortunate to have her."
Wanwan: "That's more like it."
Seeing that Wanwan's complexion had improved, Kangxi's thoughts began to stir.
Kangxi: "How about I discuss something with you?"
Wanwan said, "You go first, and I'll see if I can agree."
Wanwan had already guessed what Kangxi was going to say, but the necessary procedures still had to be followed!
Kangxi forcefully pulled Wanwan onto his lap, then tightly embraced her waist, pressing her into his arms.
Emperor Kangxi said, "You said yourself that you used to dance well. Since that's the case, it seems that you have a talent for dancing. It would be a pity if you gave up dancing directly."
Wanwan: "So?"
Kangxi's ulterior motives immediately surfaced: "Why don't you jump for me? I swear, I won't tell anyone."
Wanwan said, "I won't dance. If you want to see it, go find the musicians of the Southern Palace."
Kangxi immediately coaxed, "You're not dancing for the Emperor, but for Xuan Ye. We're husband and wife. There's nothing wrong with you dancing for me. It can even strengthen our relationship. What's wrong with that?"
Kangxi pressed on, saying, "Besides, I can't possibly tell anyone about this. Moreover, I really want to see you dance. Before, I was an outsider and couldn't watch you dance, but now it's different. We are husband and wife. Isn't it romantic for a wife to dance for her husband?"
Kangxi said, "Besides, don't you like dancing? Then we'll prepare a room in Jingren Palace specifically for you to practice dancing."
Emperor Kangxi said, "Practice when you want to, and don't practice when you don't want to. It's just a hobby of yours."
Kangxi: "What do you think?"
When Wanwan heard Kangxi say this, she was actually somewhat tempted.
She used to dance to improve her posture and overall demeanor.
But now dancing is just a hobby, and as Kangxi said, a room has been prepared specifically for him to practice dancing.
She can practice whenever she wants and not practice whenever she doesn't want to. She also doesn't let outsiders in, so no one else knows what she's doing. That's actually quite good.
Kangxi was tempted by Wanwan's appearance and then pressed on, "I've never seen you wear clothes like this before, and the brocade fabrics that are being offered as tribute don't look like this either. However, there are many fabrics in the Jiangnan weaving workshops that are suitable for making dance skirts. Otherwise, I'll have them offer them as tribute and have them made especially for you."
Kangxi was telling the truth, without the slightest embarrassment, because the Jiangnan region was already sending tribute. The reason they had previously stopped sending this kind of fabric was because they felt it wasn't suitable for making cheongsams, so they stopped sending it as tribute.
Now that they were useful, it was natural to ask them to pay tribute. Besides, it wasn't a difficult task, nor did it require much effort or expense for the people, so Kangxi naturally had no psychological burden.
Upon hearing Kangxi say this, Wanwan immediately agreed.
Wanwan: "Okay, then promise me that you'll give me all the fabrics like this from now on."
Wanwan still loves Hanfu, and she genuinely dislikes the cheongsam from the Qing Dynasty.
Even if you can't wear it, it's good to at least make it for show!
Moreover, Emperor Kangxi would definitely wear it when he traveled to the south of the Yangtze River or to the grasslands in the future.
Emperor Kangxi's hands were never quite "proper".
After she sat on his lap with Wanwan in her arms, his hands kept moving around on Wanwan's body.
But he really wanted to see Wanwan dance, so he never did…
Emperor Kangxi said, "Now, may I have the honor of witnessing your captivating dance, my lady?"
Wanwan seemed to be at a loss after being told what to do, and said, "Fine, since you've begged me like this, I'll reluctantly dance a song."
Wanwan said, "However, without background music, the dance moves will probably be greatly diminished."
Emperor Kangxi was quite proficient in music. In fact, he was proficient in almost every field, not just music.
A teacher once said that among the ancient Chinese emperors, Emperor Kangxi was definitely the most learned, and no one could match him.
When Emperor Kangxi heard Wanwan's words, he didn't suggest providing music for her, as it would take too much time to prepare musical instruments at this moment.
Moreover, even without musical instruments, Kangxi felt that Wanwan would not disappoint him, so he directly said, "Even without musical instruments, it doesn't matter. I trust you, my dear."
Wanwan said, "Since you've put it that way, then I'll accept it without further ado."
Wanwan took Kangxi's hand out of her clothes. That's right, at this moment Kangxi's hand had already slipped inside her clothes.
After straightening my clothes, I started posing.
Wanwan bowed to Emperor Kangxi and then began to dance.
As for the name of this dance, let's call it "Dreaming Back to the Tang Dynasty"!
Wanwan is naturally healthy, and she had been practicing dance to improve her physique, so she dances very lightly, making her look ethereal and as if she were about to ascend to heaven.
Truly, she was as graceful as a startled swan, as swift as a swimming dragon.
Kangxi grew increasingly anxious as he watched, as if Wanwan was about to fly to the heavens and he, a mere mortal, could not hold her back.
Therefore, Kangxi stared intently at Wanwan, becoming more and more amazed with her beauty.
Wanwan, on the other hand, was so engrossed in the dance from the very beginning that she didn't notice Kangxi, unaware that her every move was captivating his attention.
When Kangxi watched Wanwan dance, he felt that Wanwan's waist seemed to have no bones.
The dance ended.
The final act of ascending to heaven startled Kangxi, who immediately got out of bed, quickly walked to Wanwan, and hugged her tightly in his arms.
Emperor Kangxi was genuinely flustered just now, as if Wanwan were truly a fairy, not belonging to the mortal realm.
It felt like I was about to ascend to heaven, and I only felt at ease when I held it in my arms.
Wanwan was also surprised that Kangxi would suddenly hug her, and she could sense that Kangxi seemed a little scared.
Wanwan, with her arms around Kangxi, asked, "What's wrong?"
Hearing Wanwan's words and seeing the person he was holding in his arms, Kangxi was finally relieved. "It's nothing. I just felt that your dance just now was unlike that of an ordinary person."
Wanwan found Kangxi's words somewhat amusing, for she was a mortal in both her past and present lives.
The author is truly at a loss for words; I genuinely cannot describe what a person's dance moves should look like. If you really want to know, just search for Tang Shiyi's "Dance of Dunhuang" and "A Dream of the Tang Dynasty"!
When I saw it, I was absolutely amazed. How could someone dance so beautifully?
Even I, a woman, am a little tempted.
