The fairy slowly floated down to the center of the dancers, who covered her with their long, flowing sleeves and spun around her in circles, each one fluttering like a butterfly.
As the dancers slowly crouched down, pulling back their long sleeves, the fairy among them suddenly straightened up, her posture extremely charming, like a swan emerging from the water.
Everyone at the table was stunned. If their wives hadn't been there, they probably would have exclaimed in admiration.
Wei Shuwan was also secretly amazed. Driven by a bit of curiosity about men's nature, she stole a glance at Li Qingchen beside her. He always seemed so aloof and detached from worldly affairs; she wondered if he could still remain calm now.

However, none of the ministers and nobles present dared to speak out directly, and even Consort Wen restrained herself; everyone remained silent.
