Just as he was thinking, he heard an official say, "Since everyone is here. Let us congratulate His Highness the Prince's birthday together! "
Everyone raised their cups and congratulated. Xie Jing Xing's lips curled as he drank his cup. One of the madams said, "Speaking of which, Madam Ye has just found Miss Ye and Young Master Ye. Miss Ye is so beautiful. She must be talented and has a good relationship with Prince Rui's residence. Why don't you accept Jing 'er? Why don't you show your skills to His Highness the Prince? "
These words were somewhat belittling. A young lady from a wealthy family performing in front of everyone. If it was not a proper competition, it would seem frivolous. What's more, Ye Mei was raised by a merchant's family. Who would know about her talents? This furen was obviously here to nitpick. The Ye family had many political enemies in Long Ye.
Ye Ke was unhappy and Ye Furen was about to return the compliment when she heard Ye Mei say with a smile, "It is not impossible but I am afraid of spoiling everyone's mood and dare not make a fool of myself."
The furen who made the suggestion could not wait for her to make a fool of herself and immediately laughed, "How can that be? Thinking about it, it should not be. Isn't that right, Your Highness the Prince? "
Xie Jing Xing raised his eyebrows and swept a glance over. His lips curled up and he said with a smile that was not a smile, "Dance."
His tone was somewhat casual, as if he was instructing a dancer to entertain others.
Ye Mei's eyes flashed and she stood up. She first bowed to Shen Miao and said, "Since everyone is in such a good mood today, I do not know if I have broken the rules by coming to Long Ye. I am not very sensible but I am willing to make a fool of myself to make everyone happy. After all, I am in the mood to play around. "
Her words were well-behaved and seemed to be thinking for others. There was some naivety but there was some charm and provocation.
But Shen Miao saw the provocation in Ye Mei's eyes.
"I have learned a type of water sleeve dance from my adoptive mother in Qinzhou. Today I will dance it for everyone to see." She said.
Shen Miao lowered her head slightly and a sneer flashed across her lips.
Ye Mei quickly changed her clothes and came out. She was born with a somewhat charming appearance, but she was wearing a snow-white long dress, and a wide belt wrapped around her waist, making her extremely slender. To think that she was dressed in filial piety, she was indeed complemented by this snow-white dress, which made her look even more beautiful and graceful. Rice paper, paper, brush, and ink were placed on the four neatly arranged screens. The maidservant who played the zither was also present. When the first note began, Ye Mei shook her long sleeves and began to dance.
Shen Miao's nails almost dug into her palms.
The ink wash dance was Ye Mei's best dance. Ye Mei was proficient in the four arts of zither, chess, calligraphy, painting, and painting. In the imperial harem, being the only pet naturally had its charm. The Ink Water Dance was just one of them. When dancing, the sleeves would be dipped in ink and painted on the Xuan paper. After the dance, the painting would be completed. It was elegant and unique. The beauty was beautiful and picturesque.
But this Water Sleeve Dance was the blood of Shen Miao's heart, a thorn in her eyes and every time she saw it, the pain was unbearable.
In the beginning when the Xiong Nu came to request for a marriage, Fu Xiu Yi wanted to marry Wan Yu over. Shen Miao used both carrot and stick and even used the Shen family to threaten, but Fu Xiu Yi's heart was like a boulder and was unmoved. Wan Yu thought for a long time and came up with an idea. She learned a song and personally played it for Fu Xiu Yi.
That song was something that Wan Yu searched for for a long time and was changed by Shen Miao again and again. What Wan Yu wanted to say was all in the song. She only hoped that Fu Xiu Yi would remember the father-daughter relationship and not be so ruthless in his actions, and give Wan Yu a way out and dispel this idea.
But on that day, Shen Miao invited Fu Xiu Yi to Kun Ning Palace and let Wan Yu play it for Fu Xiu Yi. Just after she finished playing, she saw a trace of emotion in Fu Xiu Yi's eyes and Mei Furen came uninvited. She smiled as if there was no one else present, "So Your Majesty is here. This official's concubine learned a new dance today and wanted to dance it for Your Majesty to watch. Since Her Ladyship is also here, then let us watch it together."
She danced charmingly and he watched with deep affection, but he completely forgot about Wan Yu and Shen Miao who were still waiting. Shen Miao would always remember the disappointment in Wan Yu's eyes. Just a young female of ten years of age, the vitality in her eyes slowly faded and almost returned to calmness.
On the second day, Wan Yu came to kowtow to her and said, "Empress Mother do not waste your thoughts for this son. This son is willing to have a marriage."
How could anyone be willing to have a marriage? It was just that Wan Yu had seen Fu Xiu Yi's ruthlessness and Mei Furen's methods earlier than her. Perhaps Wan Yu felt that even if she rushed to the future without knowing the future, it would be more comfortable than staying in the Palace and being stabbed in the dark.
Finally, Wan Yu was free.
But Shen Miao would never be able to let it go.
The snow white long sleeves fluttered in front of her but Shen Miao felt that the long sleeves were not stained with ink. Every drop was the blood of Wan Yu's heart.
It was also a thorn in her eyes, a nail in her bones.
