All eyes were drawn to the woman in white dancing gracefully.
Under the bright moonlight, the lotus lanterns on the lake shimmered with beautiful light, a scene of earthly beauty.
In the vast open space of the pavilions and waterside terraces, a woman held a white shawl in her hand. As she flicked her sleeves and went out, the flowing shawl fluttered in the air.
This was the first time anyone had ever seen such a dance, so they naturally showered it with praise.
"How beautiful! Whose daughter is this, or which imperial concubine?"
"She's just like a fairy..."
"I have never seen such a beautiful dance. If she were to take off her veil, she would probably captivate many people."
The ministers showered him with praise.
The envoys from distant vassal states all stared intently at the dancing woman.
The envoys from the vassal states also brought Hu women, hoping that their exotic dances would amaze the ministers and that they could also send women into the emperor's harem.
To everyone's surprise, a woman with celestial dance skills appeared, instantly overshadowing the dancers from the vassal state.
Wearing a veil, Su Ruxue's eyes flashed with a hint of smugness.
Although she was confined to the palace, she did not become despondent.
The man said that there would be a grand banquet with envoys from vassal states, and if she could perform well at the banquet, the Empress Dowager could take the opportunity to lift her confinement.
She blends historically renowned ancient dances with modern stage design and the cooperation of other dancers, ensuring she will shine brightly at the banquet.
Whether they were officials or envoys from vassal states, they were all attracted to her.
Su Ruxue's gaze swept over the man, and seeing the look of amazement in his eyes, her smile grew even more smug.
It spun around a few times.
Through the bright lights, Su Ruxue looked at the emperor sitting on the dragon throne.
The most noble young emperor in the world.
The lamplight shone on the emperor, whose noble black and gold embroidered dragon robe accentuated his handsome face and exuded the majesty of a ruler.
This unapproachable, arrogant young man, with a languid expression, propped his head up with his hand, not even glancing at her out of the corner of his eye.
His gaze remained fixed on the girl beside him the entire time, and he would occasionally reach out to pick up some exquisite food and feed it to the beautiful girl next to him.
This kind of boundless pampering completely disregards other people's opinions.
Su Ruxue's joyful mood instantly turned sour.
Eat, eat, eat!
That woman had absolutely no bearing of a noble consort.
She thought maliciously to herself, "Sooner or later I'll eat myself into a fat pig."
As the beautiful ancient dance reached its climax, the dancer beside her hugged her legs, helping her to ascend to the position of flying apsaras.
This was also part of her carefully designed plan; as she spun and landed, fragrant and beautiful flowers rained down from the sky.
What she wanted was a dance that could captivate the world.
Sure enough, as she floated away, the people below clapped their hands.
The sound of clapping hands was deafening, and people exclaimed in amazement.
Su Ruxue's eyes sparkled, and her face beneath the veil was full of smiles.
Unexpected changes occurred suddenly.
The thin thread that was originally tightly tied behind her to help pull her body suddenly snapped in mid-air.
"Ahhh—"
Su Ruxue panicked, her previous joy completely gone, and she screamed in terror.
This unexpected turn of events surprised everyone.
Just as Su Ruxue was falling from the sky, a figure flashed past and flew towards the falling woman.
Unfortunately, this change was far too sudden.
"Bang!"
Su Ruxue crashed heavily onto the center of the stage.
The figure awkwardly landed next to Su Ruxue.
