The ladies have prepared a wealth of talents today. I'm curious who you will give the award to.
Concubine Xue was wearing a graceful pink dress. She twisted her slender waist and came over, holding Xuan Ling's arm.
"Your Majesty, do you think my lotus dance looks good?"
I didn't even look at it, I just said solemnly, "Not bad, keep up the good work."
Dun Shuyuan came over holding a lotus lantern, knelt down and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, good luck. I, your concubine, am using this lotus lantern to wish you good health, peace and prosperity for your country, and a long and prosperous era!"
The other concubines knelt down and echoed, "May the Emperor's sacred heart remain forever firm, his dragon power spread far and wide, his country be at peace, and his people be blessed!"
"Get up."
Xuan Ling picked up the lotus lantern and admired it. "It's quite creative. Good. Let's go ahead and light it."
Dun Shuyuan's eyes were as charming as silk, and she pleaded in a gentle voice, "Your Majesty, can you accompany me to release the lotus lanterns?"
Xuan Ling glanced into the distance and heard the sound of a pipa. He made an excuse and said, "I'll take a walk, you go and release it yourself."
Dun Shuyuan pouted in grievance, "Yes, Your Majesty."
Along this long scenic line, Xuan Ling did not see the person he wanted to see, and his heart was like a lotus leaf swaying in the lake.
Concubine Shu and Concubine Liang came over and said, "Your Majesty, we have prepared a lotus banquet and are waiting for Your Majesty to enjoy the beautiful scenery before we start the feast."
"Thank you for your hard work, my two beloved concubines."
Xuan Ling walked forward, followed by dozens of concubines.
When they reached the stone bridge, Concubine Min was playing the pipa at its climax.
Xuan Ling stopped by the lake to admire the scenery, cursing inwardly: Sheng Xiyan, you didn't come. Is the palace so unattractive to you? Did I make you not want to see it?
Gao Shurong and Lin Xiuyi came running over and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, there is a lotus fairy dancing over there. It is so beautiful. I invite Your Majesty to come and watch."
Xuan Ling held on to the last bit of hope and led a large team to Taiye Lake.
The second-floor viewing platform of Taiye Lake was originally a place for watching the moon during the Mid-Autumn Festival.
At this time, a fairy wearing a pink veil, holding green duckweed in her hands, danced gracefully.
Sometimes she leaped into the air, sometimes she leaned over to kiss the water, like a lotus flower blooming freely in the pond.
It blends seamlessly with the lake surface behind Taiye Lake, where lotus flowers are in full bloom.
Sheng Xiyan was like a fairy bathing in the lake, standing there with a smile on her face, shy and wanting to speak, her tender buds condensed with beads, about to drip.
Her hair was in an exquisite bun with a delicate lotus flower in the pin and her face was covered with a half shimmering pearl veil.
The fiery gaze met the man's dark eyes, and the moment they met, it seemed as if they were entangled with each other.
She turned her head charmingly, and the hem of her pink skirt spun from slow to fast, while her embroidered shoes stood on tiptoe as she circled from the middle of the viewing platform to the edge.
"Sheng Xiyan, be careful!"
Xuan Ling saw that she was about to leave the viewing platform and hurried forward.
Just as he was getting anxious, he saw Sheng Xiyan falling from above. He flew a few steps at a rapid speed and caught her steadily.
The beauty is in my arms, as light as a cloud, and the rich scent of lotus and tuberose fills my face.
Sheng Xiyan's peach blossom eyes stared at him with a slightly blurred look, with a hint of resentment in her charm, and a soft gasp came from her red lips.
"In 'On the Love of the Lotus', it says, 'Lotus is the gentleman among flowers.' The lotus represents the emperor's purity. Xiyan transformed herself into a lotus and gave it to the emperor. Does the emperor like it?"
Her voice was so sweet that it made his back go numb.
"Well, I am very satisfied."
I felt that her waist had become much thinner.
Sheng Xiyan smiled, picked up the flower, slowly closed her eyes, and snuggled in his arms, as if she had exhausted all her strength to complete a very important task.
"Sheng Xiyan?"
Xuan Ling realized that she had fainted.
