Ye Jinyun felt a little uneasy when she heard the imperial concubine's proposal. Could it be that she was targeting her? Did she want to see her make a fool of herself or to harm her?
While the imperial concubine was having someone prepare the props, Ye Jinyun quickly ate something else. While eating, she was thinking about what she could offer if she was chosen.
Music, chess, calligraphy and painting?
I shook my head in my heart, no, no, I don’t know anything about this.
Reciting poems and writing essays?
She hesitated a little, thinking this one was okay. She had learned a lot of ancient poems when she was in school in her previous life. If she really drew this one, she seemed to be able to memorize a few of them.
Just when I was wondering if there was anything else, the palace servant who was preparing the props came back.
When the imperial concubine saw that everything was ready, she signaled to the emperor that he could begin.
Mo Qiyuan nodded at her.
He did not stop the imperial concubine from drawing lots because he was a little curious and wanted to see whether his beloved would bring him any more surprises.
…
After receiving the order, the imperial concubine immediately started drawing lots. She herself was the first to draw lots and drew "A Piano Piece".
This was something she was very good at, so she gestured for someone to bring her zither and place it in the hall, then she sat down and began to play it.
Ye Jinyun ate while enjoying the music. Well, although the imperial concubine is not a good person, she plays the piano well and it sounds nice.
After the song ended, everyone applauded. Ye Jinyun also stopped eating and joined in the applause.
Next it was Concubine Shu's turn to draw lots, and she drew 'Perform a Dance'. Although Concubine Shu was not very willing to dance in front of everyone, she still changed her clothes and danced a song.
Ye Jinyun was amazed again and clapped her hands vigorously after she finished dancing.
Concubine Shu also thanked everyone slightly and went downstairs to change her clothes.
Then it was the turn of Concubine Xian, Concubine Jing, and Concubine Qi.
The items drawn were calligraphy, couplets and paintings.
All three of them performed according to the topics they drew.
Because Ye Jinyun sat below Concubine Qi, it was her turn next.
Seeing that everyone in the room was staring at the situation in the hall, the imperial concubine winked at the palace servant holding the props. The palace servant immediately and secretly replaced the paper in the lottery box and stuffed it into his sleeve.
Since the time was short, Concubine Qi casually drew a picture and handed it over. Although it was not a masterpiece, it was still a good painting.
Ye Jinyun also applauded her enthusiastically. After sitting down, Concubine Qi smiled at her sideways.
At this time, the palace maid holding the lottery box came to Ye Jinyun and asked her to draw lots. Ye Jinyun took a deep breath, reached in and drew a lot.
When I opened it, I was dumbfounded.
Is this a question that the ancients could ask?
…
Ye Jinyun stood there in a daze. If she hadn't seen the imperial concubine looking at her with a gloating expression, she would have thought that this question was asked by someone who was reborn in the 21st century.
Because the topic she got was, 'Sing and Dance'!
Why not be a little more outrageous and add a rap.
But in order to find out if it was the "singing and dancing" that he understood, he still asked:
"Excuse me, Your Majesty, what does this 'singing and dancing' mean?"
The imperial concubine chuckled, "Sister Yun Zhaoyi, as the name suggests, of course you will be singing and dancing at the same time."
She just wanted to make her look bad. If she could sing, dancing would not be a problem for her either. Singing and dancing at the same time would probably make her look ridiculous.
Ye Jinyun looked at her smug smile and felt a little relieved.
Fortunately, fortunately, it was not the 'singing and dancing' that she understood.
In fact, if it really is that "singing and dancing", she is not incapable of it. She was also a fan in her previous life and learned a lot of girl group dances.
But for the ancients, that dance was too shocking. She didn't want to reveal too many things that were inconsistent with this world, so that others would not mistake her for a monster.
Now that it has been confirmed, she has nothing to fear.
Isn't it just singing and dancing? She had a dance foundation in her previous life. Now her singing voice is beautiful, so singing and dancing at the same time is easy for her.
After making up her mind, she went to the side hall to change her clothes.
…
She chose a light blue base with a white gauze dress with long sleeves.
He then asked Qing'er to let her hair down and tied it up with a crescent-colored ribbon and let it hang behind her head.
Looking in the mirror, Ye Jinyun was very satisfied with the look, which was very suitable for the piece she was going to perform.
She had already thought about it. Since it was going to be a performance, it must be stunning.
So she chose a particularly beautiful dance. Not only was the song nice to listen to, but the story expressed in the dance was also very touching.
In her previous life, when she was watching TV, she really liked the dance performed by Princess Yu Shu in the movie "The Myth".
She later enrolled in a dance class specifically to practice in order to dance out that feeling, and every move was deeply engraved in her mind.
…
After Ye Jinyun was ready, he returned to the main hall.
When the people in the palace saw that she had not come for a long time, they thought she was stage fright, and many concubines had mocking expressions on their faces.
Suddenly seeing her appear in elegant attire, everyone turned their eyes to her and the hall instantly became quiet.
When Mo Qiyuan saw her dressed so simply, he couldn't help but think of the first time he met her, when she also looked so pure and untainted by the world.
Seeing that everyone had quieted down, Ye Jinyun did not delay any longer and bowed slightly to the emperor:
"I'm sorry to show off my ugliness."
Then she began her performance.
La la la la...
La la la la la...
She began to hum the prelude of the song, her feet moved along with it, and her sleeves began to wave.
