Aunt Rong looked at the person who spoke.
"Of course, the role will go to the lead dancer. Twenty-three young ladies have already recommended themselves to me. Is there any other young lady who would like to recommend herself for the lead dancer position?"
Aunt Rong swept her eyes across everyone's faces and reminded them, "This is only for today. If there are any young ladies who would like to recommend themselves, please come find me after the selection is over. No one will be accepted after that."
Those who were not chosen by Aunt Rong to appear at the palace banquet were inevitably a little disappointed, and they also lost interest after hearing about the position of lead dancer.
Their talents didn't even catch Aunt Rong's eye, so how could they expect to catch His Majesty's eye?
Are you dreaming?
Forget it, don't make yourself miserable.
Aunt Rong noticed everyone's mood and said comfortingly, "Young ladies who were not selected to attend the palace banquet need not be discouraged. This is only a palace banquet. If you can pass the selection and stay in the harem, you will have many opportunities to see His Majesty in the future."
"Besides, the selection process isn't over yet. Every young lady has the possibility of being selected in the next two rounds, so what you need to do now is to show your true abilities and participate in the next two rounds."
After hearing what Aunt Rong said, everyone who was originally listless instantly perked up and quickly adjusted their mood.
Aunt Rong was very pleased with this and said to everyone, "I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you all today. The palace banquet is coming soon, and we don't have much time to rehearse the dance. In order to show the most amazing dance at the palace banquet, let's hold the last two auditions together today."
Everyone was shocked.
A singing and dancing competition?
Why is it so sudden?
They didn't know that there would be a dance audition today, so they didn't make any preparations before coming.
What if I don’t perform at my best when dancing later?
Aunt Rong didn't know their concerns, and sat down on the chair after she finished speaking.
"Let's get started."
As soon as Aunt Rong finished speaking, the time-keeping incense beside her was lit.
The first audition today is singing. Everyone has been taking good care of their voices for this day, so they are not that nervous.
When he came in front of Aunt Rong, he started singing.
In order to save time, they only sang two lines before Aunt Rong waved her hand and asked them to leave.
After all the beauties had finished singing, the timer incense had only burned two-thirds.
Aunt Rong stood up and said to everyone, "You ladies can warm up first in the remaining time. After the timer incense burns out, we will proceed with the dance competition."
After Aunt Rong finished speaking, she went to the side hall, giving the concubines enough space.
Lin Qingwu and Bai Zhixi came to Jiang Jingyu and said, "Sister Jiang, let's go and stretch your legs first."
The beauties of every dynasty were selected in Chuxiu Palace, and all the equipment and facilities needed for the selection were available in Chuxiu Palace.
Jiang Jingyu looked at the rack in front of her that was specially used for stretching the legs. At this time, many concubines had already walked over.
She nodded: "Let's go."
The three of them walked side by side towards the leg stretching rack.
Ever since he knew that Jiang Jingyu was having an affair with someone, Shen Weining would glance at her from time to time.
Seeing Jiang Jingyu walking towards the leg-stretching rack, Shen Weining wanted to follow without thinking, but suddenly someone grabbed her arm.
"Sister Ning."
In addition to Shen Weining, there was another person traveling with Liu Linlang on the way to Chuxiu Palace.
In front of outsiders, Liu Linlang was embarrassed to ask Shen Weining about what happened last night, but now she finally found the opportunity.
After Liu Linlang stopped Shen Weining, she looked around warily. Seeing that no one was around, she asked, "How is Sister Ning? Did Jiang Jingyu go out again last night? Did she go out to meet a man secretly?"
Liu Linlang asked three questions in a row and was particularly concerned about this matter.
Shen Weining snorted, "I've personally taken action, how can this be difficult to accomplish? Don't worry, I saw that little bitch Jiang Jingyu having an affair with a wild man with my own eyes, and I remember the location. I'll go find out where it is in the next few days."
"After exposing her at the palace banquet, His Majesty will definitely send people to search that room. Since she did it, she will definitely leave clues. Just wait and see that little bitch Jiang Jingyu's reputation ruined!"
Shen Weining finished speaking in a low voice, pulled his arm out of Liu Linlang's hand, twisted his waist and walked towards Jiang Jingyu.
Jiang Jingyu was stretching with Lin Qingwu and Bai Zhixi when suddenly another leg appeared next to them.
Shen Weining came to Jiang Jingyu's side, raised his legs and put them on the rack, and then started to have sex.
"Jiang Jingyu, you're quite generous. You even think about stretching your legs?"
Jiang Jingyu glanced at Shen Weining lightly, folded his hands and relaxed his muscles.
"Why? You feel uncomfortable if you don't get beaten for a day, so you come to me and ask for help? I'm happy to help you. Tell me, where should I hit you?"
Shen Weining looked at the bare hands raised in front of her, and the shame of the past instantly flooded her heart!
She glared at Jiang Jingyu fiercely, almost biting off her teeth: "Jiang Jingyu, don't be too proud. I will repay you tenfold, a hundredfold, or even a thousandfold for those two slaps I gave you that day!"
Jiang Jingyu's lips curled up in a mocking tone: "How do you rely on this? By shouting slogans and raising flags every day?"
Shen Weining was stunned.
Fulai Pavilion? ?
What is that?
Could it be that the place where Jiang Jingyu had a secret meeting with the strange man last night was called Fulai Pavilion?
A hint of excitement flashed across Shen Weining's eyes. Jiang Jingyu, Jiang Jingyu, you are so stupid. You actually exposed the place where you met with a wild man so easily!
This saves her from asking others!
Shen Weining raised her chin like a proud peacock: "That's right, I rely on Fulai Pavilion!"
This idiot Jiang Jingyu would never have thought that all the shameful things she did in Fulai Pavilion were known to herself, right?
I wonder if Jiang Jingyu will be so angry that she will slap herself twice when she finds out that it was she who revealed the name of Fulai Pavilion to her?
It’s so satisfying just thinking about it!
Jiang Jingyu: “…” This person is sick.
Time always flies when chatting with Shen Weining.
In a blink of an eye, the remaining one-third of the timer incense burned out, and Aunt Rong came out from the side hall on time.
"Next comes the last of the six auditions - the dance."
The young ladies who had warmed up slightly could only go ahead with it.
As one beauty came down from the stage, another would go up, and this cycle continued. The last selection went quite smoothly.
Compared with the bustling Chuxiu Palace, the imperial study seems a bit deserted.
Emperor Yu stood by the window with his hands behind his back, waiting for the people he had sent out to come back.
After waiting for an hour but the man still didn't come back, Di Yu became a little impatient.
Just as he was about to dispatch the Dragon Shadow Guards in secret, Eunuch Su came hurriedly from outside the door.
"Your Majesty, the people we sent out have returned."
"Let him in."
"yes."
After a while, a plainclothes guard came in, knelt behind Di Yu, and held up a booklet with both hands.
"Your Majesty, this is what you asked me to investigate. From birth to the present, everything is here, no matter how big or small."
