Chapter 23: Invitation from Concubine Rou
The more flexible she is and the better she is at singing and dancing, who benefits? The emperor!
Oh wow, it really is a weapon to win favor!
"Tongtong, I have the talent for dancing, but I can't dance. Where can I learn? Can I ask the Shanggong Bureau to find a few people to teach me how to dance? That's not going to happen, right?"
She didn't mind it too much, but the practical conditions might be a little inconvenient. She was favored as a palace maid, and she was in the limelight. Now who knows how many people were watching her. It would be better if she kept a low profile. If she continued to work so hard to learn the skills to win favor, she would be hated to death!
Someone is bound to cause trouble!
System: "Don't worry, dear! We are professionals in palace fighting! You can enter the space to learn dancing. We have the most professional dance teaching system. We guarantee you will learn it! The time in the space is not synchronized with the outside world, so you don't have to worry about the practice time! It won't affect your normal life!"
Xu Lanshan smiled brightly, "Tongtong, you can do this! Do you think someone like me, who has absolutely no basic dance skills, can learn to dance well? I'm going to perform something so stunning that everyone can't take their eyes off it. Do you agree?"
If you want to keep the emperor's heart, it is not enough to just act like a spoiled child and sleep with him. You also have to make him ask with anticipation and shining eyes, "How many surprises do you have that I don't know about!" That will work.
So, since we have such ready-made advantages, of course we have to learn this dance.
"Of course you can, dear! Our system has Flying Dance, Hu Xuan Dance, Sword Dance, Jinghong Dance, Colorful Feather Dance, Fan Dance, Bent Waist Dance, Long Sleeve Dance, Pangu Dance and so on. You can choose two or three to learn after taking a look, or you can learn all of them. It's always good to have many skills, dear!" Xu Lanshan was so motivated that the system couldn't stop smiling. Xu Lanshan could imagine its joy from the tone of his voice.
Xu Lanshan was also happy to hear this, and rubbed her hands eagerly: "Okay, okay, then I must take a good look at them, pick out the best ones and learn from them carefully."
Then wait for the right opportunity to show your talent and amaze everyone!
Of course, the most important thing is to amaze the emperor!
"Okay, dear!" The system quickly agreed, and then reminded: "Why don't you start today? It's not good for you to delay too long."
When Xu Lanshan heard this, she knew that this system must have some tricks up its sleeve. Since it reminded her to learn it earlier, she might as well learn it earlier. There was nothing else to worry about anyway, especially since the speed of time flow was different and it would not affect real life, so there was no need to think about it too much.
"Oh! All right! Let's do it tonight. I'll go and pay my respects later. I'm afraid there'll be a lot of fun!"
Who asked her to sleep with him again last night?
It seems Concubine Lian has been under house arrest for three days this morning. Is it time to go and pay her respects? This is truly a Shura scene.
system:"......"
Its host seems really pitiful. How long will it take for this hell mode to end?
It could only cheer: "Come on, dear! We all support you, dear!"
Xu Lanshan: “Haha!”
What's the point of just saying support? She's such a practical person, she just wants some tangible support, like giving her another life or something.
After a while, Xu Lanshan got up and Yuchan happily went forward to serve her.
When the master is favored, the servants are also proud! Their backs are straighter than others.
Xu Lanshan chose relatively low-key clothes today. She wore a light purple square brocade skirt embroidered with chrysanthemums. She wore the pair of gold hairpins inlaid with red gold and pearls given by the Queen in her Chaoyun bun. She also pinned a small piled gauze crabapple flower on her temples. She looked ordinary yet delicate, not too plain.
Being too plain is not good either, as it will make people feel that she is too deliberate. After all, she is in great favor now!
Xu Lanshan hadn't expected that Concubine Lian would come so early today, a rare occasion. When she arrived, Concubine Lian, Concubine Bai, Concubine Fang, and Concubine Deng had already arrived. Concubine Rou also arrived shortly after her.
Lian Fei's gaze was still as cold as a knife. Maybe the confinement to copy scriptures had some effect, but when Xu Lanshan bowed and greeted her, she just sneered and said, "Pretentious!" and didn't make any other difficulties.
When Xu Lanshan heard this, she didn't take it seriously at all.
Soon, the concubines arrived one after another. When they saw Concubine Lian, they were all more or less surprised - she came so early.
Concubine Lian was so angry!
After a while, the queen took her seat, and everyone greeted her and sat down to talk.
The Empress was somewhat pleased to see that Concubine Lian had behaved herself and remained calm, so she smiled at her and said, "If I remember correctly, Concubine Lian's birthday is coming soon, right? The peonies in the garden will be in full bloom then. Why not set up two tables in the Imperial Garden to celebrate Concubine Lian's birthday this year? It's a perfect opportunity to enjoy the flowers in such beautiful spring weather!"
The Queen didn't mind showing off to Concubine Lian. After all, Concubine Lian was favored by the Queen Mother, and her birthday was celebrated every year.
Upon hearing this, Concubine Lian's expression was indifferent. "Your Majesty, your Majesty has a good memory. My birthday is in half a month."
On her birthday, the most beautiful flower in bloom was not the peony, but the tree. This was originally a very good omen. Everyone in her family said that the King of Flowers was celebrating her birth and that she was destined to be the Queen, but she had unexpectedly been snatched away by someone else.
She doesn't care about the queen's kindness at all!
The Queen was completely unaware of her attitude and said with a smile, "Then we'll invite the Shengping Office to play some good opera. Sister Lian Fei can choose whatever she wants to hear."
Concubine Lian replied calmly, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
The concubines joined in the fun and chatted a few words to celebrate the birthday, but soon they all dispersed.
Xu Lanshan no longer tried to hide from Lian Fei today. Lian Fei glared at her fiercely, but in the end she did not make things difficult for her anymore and left with a gust of fragrant wind.
Xu Lanshan was about to go back when Concubine Rou called out to her with a smile, "Sister Xu!" and then said, "Sister, if you have nothing to do, why don't you come over to my place and sit for a while?"
Concubine Rou was the main concubine in Xia Si Palace, and the honest Concubine Bai lived in the side hall.
Since Concubine Rou had taken the initiative to invite her, how could Xu Lanshan refuse? With a smile on her face, she nodded in surprise: "Sister Roupin doesn't mind, I couldn't ask for more!"
Lin Guipin suddenly came over and said with a smile, "It just so happens that I have nothing to do, so why don't I join in the fun? My two sisters, please don't despise me!"
Concubine Rou and Xu Lanshan smiled and politely gave way.
How can those of lower status dare to look down on those of higher status?
The three of them went to Xia Si Palace talking and laughing.
The furnishings and decorations of the place where the master of the first palace lives are naturally not comparable to those of the small Cuiyinxuan. Xu Lanshan couldn't help but take a few secret glances at it.
Roupin saw this, smiled slightly, and looked a little contemptuous.
The three of them sat down and the palace maid Manqing served them tea.
