Liu Qiuchan stroked the nail polish and glanced at Lady Wang with a forced smile.

"The affairs of the harem are numerous, and I am responsible for sharing the worries of the emperor. Naturally, I did not get a good rest last night. Unlike some idle people who have neither favor nor practical work, they have plenty of time to rest every day."

After the voice fell, many concubines laughed softly, while Concubine Wang's face looked a little ugly.

Concubine Wang has been rarely favored in the palace for several years, and even the emperor has forgotten that there is such a person in the harem.

Just then, Concubine Qin came. After being nourished by last night's rain and dew, her face was rosy, and the corners of her eyes and eyebrows were full of moisture like rain hitting banana leaves.

"Sister, I'm late today. I hope you won't be angry." Concubine Qin walked in with a smile on her face and sat down directly with a very casual attitude.

Thinking of Lin Zhan's instructions, Liu Qiuchan did not lose her temper immediately. She held back her anger and pretended to smile. "My sister must have been tired from serving the emperor last night. How could I be angry if she came a little later today?"

"Thank you for your understanding, sister. The emperor was in a very good mood last night and I had no choice!" Concubine Qin said this deliberately, and then raised the corners of her mouth shyly. The pride and provocation in her eyes were self-evident.

After dealing with these concubines, Liu Qiuchan felt angry. After a while, Dongxiang hurried in and whispered a few words in her ear.

"Okay, I understand. I'll go right away." Liu Qiuchan hurriedly changed into a set of light clothes and followed the palace maid Dongxiang to the side hall.

There was a large open space in front of the side hall, and Lin Zhan was waiting there at the moment.

"Your Majesty, you are here. These are the steps of the Jinghong Dance. Your Majesty is smart, so I'm sure you will remember them quickly." Lin Zan smiled and handed a picture album to Liu Qiuchan.

Liu Qiuchan took it and looked at it for a few seconds. She immediately felt that this dance was unique and she felt that she had some chance of defeating Concubine Qin.

"That's great, but where did you learn this dance at such a young age? You didn't choreograph it yourself, did you?" Liu Qiuchan said in surprise.

Lin Zhan pretended to be profound, shaking his head and said, "The secret cannot be revealed, Madam, you just need to know that you will never suffer any loss if you cooperate with me."

Seeing her confident look, Liu Qiuchan couldn't help but smile, then rubbed her little head lovingly.

Lin Zan stood aside, and Liu Qiuchan began to dance in the courtyard according to the dance steps in the picture album.

However, the steps of the Jinghong Dance are complicated and difficult to practice, so when Liu Qiuchan first started practicing it, she inevitably imitated it a bit, which looked very awkward.

Fortunately, Lin Zan had seen the Jinghong Dance in a film or TV series, so he could give Liu Qiuchan some pointers from time to time.

Gradually, Liu Qiuchan's dance steps became smoother, and the sky darkened.

"You can stay here for dinner today. I will ask the kitchen to cook a few of your favorite dishes for you." Liu Qiuchan, who was sweating profusely, did not feel tired at all. Instead, he felt relaxed and happy. He said to Lin Zan with a smile.

Lin Zhan shook her head. "My Lady, in order not to arouse other people's suspicion, I'd better go back. After all, the later people know about our relationship, the better."

Considering the complicated and dangerous relationships in the palace, Liu Qiuchan did not insist on letting Lin Zan go back.

When Lin Zhan passed by the Imperial Garden, he suddenly saw a white figure passing by in a hurry. He immediately stopped and narrowed his eyes. "Hey, isn't that Si Xueyi?"

Thinking of this, Lin Zan followed Si Xueyi as if possessed by a ghost and entered the imperial garden together.

Finally, he saw a familiar figure in the pavilion in the lake. That person was Prince Jun Beiqi.

At this moment, Jun Beiqi was holding a green jade flute in his hand and playing it under the waning moon.

Under the cold moonlight, he gave people a hazy feeling of an immortal. Si Xueyi, who was standing not far away, could not help but stare at him in amazement. Then, with determination in her eyes, she gritted her teeth and walked over.

"Interesting, she hasn't given up yet." Lin Zan didn't go over, but stood aside and watched the show.

After Si Xueyi walked over, she naturally disturbed Jun Beiqi's interest, and the two of them looked at each other.

"It turns out to be His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. I was attracted here by the ethereal sound of the flute. I didn't expect that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is such a good flute player." Si Xueyi looked at Jun Beiqi with admiration.

Jun Beiqi glanced at her coldly, then put away the jade flute in his hand, stood up and was about to leave.

Just as he passed by Si Xueyi, Si Xueyi suddenly stumbled and fell towards him.

"Wow, a classic falling scene." Lin Zan's eyes lit up not far away, and he curled his lips, thinking that Si Xueyi's trick of hooking up with Jun Beiqi was nothing new.

Seeing Si Xueyi about to fall to the ground, she thought that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would always give her a hand, but imagination is beautiful and reality is very cruel.

Si Xueyi's delicate body fell heavily to the ground. Instead of helping her up, Jun Beiqi dodged to the side.

"Your Highness." Si Xueyi looked as if she was about to say something or cry, and she looked up at Jun Beiqi in disbelief.

Jun Beiqi frowned with a look of disdain. "If Miss Si is not feeling well, she should go back to Hanfang Pavilion and recuperate. She can't even stand steadily. Is she seriously ill?"

"Your Highness, I am not seriously ill. I just felt a little dizzy. Could you help me?"

Si Xueyi gritted her teeth in her heart, but still pretended to be weak and unable to take care of herself, and stretched out her tender and white little hand to Jun Beiqi.

Seeing this scene, Lin Zhan finally stopped standing idly by and walked out from the darkness, clapping his hands gently, attracting the attention of the two people.

"Oh my, what a picture of a sickly Xizi and a pretty young man. What happened to Miss Si? It's a cold spring night. Why are you lying on the ground and can't get up?"

As Lin Zan spoke, he walked over to Jun Beiqi and looked at Si Xueyi with a concerned look.

"I just felt a little dizzy and couldn't stand steadily. I'm much better now." Si Xueyi bit her lip, her face turned pale, and she stood up reluctantly.

However, she didn't expect Lin Zhan to walk up to her, grab her wrist, and pretend to take her pulse.

Si Xueyi was stunned for a moment, and then she struggled to pull her hand back, but she didn't expect Lin Zhan to look serious and warned her. "Miss Si, your health is really in serious trouble. I advise you not to leave Hanfang Pavilion in the near future, so as not to harm others when you go out."

"Ms. Lin, what do you mean?" Si Xueyi's face turned ugly in an instant.

Lin Zhan smiled again in the blink of an eye. "What I mean is, don't come out and cause trouble for others."
