The queen's Qifeng Palace is extremely gorgeous, showing the dignity of the lord of the harem everywhere. The dinner has not yet begun, and all the participants have already arrived. The queen wore a phoenix robe and a phoenix crown on her head, sitting on the main seat, and her condescending majesty overshadowed those present.

On the right hand side of the queen sat a young girl, with a princess bun on her head, and her body exuded a beautiful and noble air everywhere.

On such an occasion, being able to sit next to the queen is naturally extraordinary.

Liu Shihua stood behind Hui Guifei with her hands down, looked around the entire hall with her eyes, and her eyes unconsciously fell on this girl.

Concubine Ping turned her back to Liu Shihua, but seemed to have completely seen Liu Shihua's every move, and said in a low voice, "That's Princess Linglong, Your Majesty's daughter, with excellent dancing skills, no one in the harem can compare." She is about to marry Zhao Guo and make peace with the prince, and this time the queen chose a dancer, but also to choose a dancer for Princess Linglong. ”

Liu Shihua listened attentively, and when Ping Guifei said the first half, Liu Shihua secretly praised her noble birth and talent, but when Ping Guifei talked about harmony, Liu Shihua's heart couldn't help but hurt for her.

However, he was born in the emperor's family, and such a stunner in the world has become a puppet at the mercy of others. marrying relatives far away, exchanging a woman's happiness for the temporary stability of a country. Is it worth it? As far as the world is concerned, it is worth it. But what about a woman?

The main hall is divided into left and right compartments, and the right side sits the female dependents of the harem and the official eunuch's family, Ping Guifei is the first, and Hui Guifei is second. The others are also dressed up in a fancy way, each with their own style. However, Liu Shihua did not recognize them.

On the left side of the main hall, there are all men, among whom are the officials of the Tongyin law, as well as the musicians and dancers specially invited by the queen to judge. For these people, Liu Shihua only knows a few celebrities in Jinling City, but the first four sons, Liu Shihua is very familiar. These four people are the four famous princes of the capital, and they are sitting in turn Gu Ranchen, Mei Fuqian, An Ruozhan and Bai Yueteng.

The other three are all children of the official family, except for Mei Fuqian, who is a special guest invited by the queen today. Mei Fuqian's romantic name is not only very loud among the people, but even the queen in the palace has heard of it. When it comes to women and singing and dancing, Mei Fuqian is an expert among experts, and the queen wants to choose dancers for Prince Zhao's reception banquet, so she naturally thought of inviting Mei Fuqian to be a judge. Mei Fuqian and Gu Ranchen have a good relationship and are inseparable, which is also a well-known thing, so at Gu Ranchen's request, Mei Fuqian had to come here.

With the sound of the musicians' silk and bamboo, the display of the ladies officially began, and the queen looked at the ladies dancing in the hall with relish, and nodded appreciatively. And the princess Linglong on the side didn't seem to think so, and looked at it without a match, and couldn't be interested at all.

After a few young ladies showed, the next girl was stopped by Princess Linglong before she could appear on the stage, "Queen Mother, I heard that the eldest lady of the Liu family has the reputation of the first talented woman in the south of the Yangtze River, since she is coming to Jinling this time, the retainer can't wait to see Miss Liu's demeanor." The competition is going on so far, their level everyone has an understanding in their hearts, we might as well let Miss Liu dance first, if there are dissatisfied, come out to challenge, what about the queen mother's mind? ”

said that she wanted to see Liu Daimeng's demeanor, but Princess Linglong's words were actually full of provocation. What a haughty princess, judging by her expression, she didn't pay attention to anyone present.

"Sister, Dai Meng's dancing skills sister has heard Ying Xue mention, it is really eye-catching, dancing for Prince Zhao, it is none other than Dai Meng, my sister might as well follow the princess's suggestion, so as not to waste time." Concubine Hui Guifei saw the stitches, and now Liu Daimeng is a person in the queen's palace, and she said this because she wanted to stammer with the queen.

The queen nodded, "Well, since Concubine Hui also said so, let Daimeng come first." ”

The land south of the Yangtze River has always been the hometown of singing and dancing, and dancing is Liu Daimeng's forte, she can't wait to show her talent in front of the queen and win the queen's favor. When she heard that the queen suddenly decided to let her perform first, she was not only not timid, but full of confidence. With the melody of the music, Liu Daimeng rotated her light posture, like a flower fairy, which made people fascinated.

At the end of the dance, applause erupted.

is worthy of being the first talented girl in Jiangnan, this dance is shocked, and the young ladies who came to participate in the selection are also ashamed of themselves, and they are silent.

The queen admired Liu Daimeng's talent, slapped everyone a few times, and then praised again and again, "Daimeng's dancing is beautiful, and she deserves the name of the first talented woman in Jiangnan." ”

After receiving the queen's appreciation, Liu Daimeng was overjoyed, and quickly blessed her body, her face was filled with unconcealable joy, "Thank you for your praise." ”

The queen raised her phoenix eyes and looked down, "Which girl wants to come out and compete with Miss Liu?" ”

There was silence in the hall for a while, and after watching Liu Daimeng's dancing, the other people present were already ashamed of themselves, who could run up and be embarrassed?

Seeing that everyone was speechless, the queen raised her voice and announced, "Since no one challenges it, then ......"

Liu Daimeng was full of interest and was ready to thank her, however, Princess Linglong suddenly stood up and interrupted the queen's words, "Queen Mother, although Liu Daimeng's dancing is beautiful, it is just some vulgar moves, I am afraid that it will not be able to enter the eyes of the prince. ”

As soon as these words came out, it was like a boulder entering the sea, and the entire hall was in an uproar.

"Why did the princess say that, doesn't she like Liu Daimeng?"

"I guess Liu Daimeng offended the princess somewhere."

"I see, it must be Princess Linglong who is afraid that Liu Daimeng will steal her limelight."

……

The queen coughed lightly twice, interrupting everyone's discussion, "Linglong, the queen mother knows that you are superb in dancing and wants to find a suitable dancer, but at the moment, except for Miss Liu, there is really no more suitable candidate." ”

Princess Linglong didn't seem to listen to the queen's words, "If you can't find a suitable one, Erchen would rather dance alone than be embarrassed in front of the prince with a backup dance." ”

That's a bit of a weight. Liu Daimeng's face was blue and purple for a while, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that Princess Linglong was clear that she couldn't get along with Liu Daimeng, but Liu Daimeng and Princess Linglong met for the first time, how could she not figure out what offended her.

"Since the princess dislikes Dai Meng, Dai Meng has a suggestion, the princess might as well show her skills to everyone in this hall, so that everyone can know what kind of dance skills can match the princess, and help the princess find a suitable one." Liu Daimeng has never been willing to be wronged, even in the main hall, she still ruthlessly took Princess Linglong's army. Liu Daimeng is confident that her dancing skills are unbeatable, Princess Linglong dances, if she can't compare to her, she will naturally be ridiculed, she said this, she made up her mind to see Princess Linglong's jokes, and kill her arrogance.
