As soon as dawn broke, with the color of fish belly white, Shen Qingyan was forced to crawl out of the quilt, rubbing his sleepy eyes, and his consciousness had not yet returned.

"Wake up, I'll let the emerald in." Yin Qi smiled and touched Shen Qingyan's face, took his coat and surrounded Shen Qingyan to avoid catching a cold, and after a call, Cui Wei came up with toiletries.

Shen Qingyan sighed, feeling sad for the days when he had to get up early until the Mid-Autumn Festival dinner, stretched his waist, and tried to sober up.

Cui Wei waited for Shen Qingyan to finish washing, and began to comb Shen Qingyan's bun, holding a wooden comb and combing it on Shen Qingyan's inky hair.

"You don't have to comb your bun, just tie a ponytail high, remember to tie it tightly." Shen Qingyan rubbed her eyes, she has always been like this, when practicing dance, she is so simple and convenient to dress up, and it will be inconvenient if the makeup is too cumbersome.

Cui Wei followed Shen Qingyan's words, combed Shen Qingyan with a ponytail high, and hung her soft and vertical hair high, adding a little more sassy beauty.

Shen Qingyan finished her makeup after combing her ponytail, and she herself is not a person who likes to apply rouge and gouache, even if she wants to enter the palace, Shen Qingyan doesn't take this matter too seriously, but she just changes to a place to practice dance.

"Come over for breakfast." Yin Qi prepared everything and waited for Shen Qingyan at the table, "I want to practice dancing today and eat more, so as not to be unable to keep up with my physical strength." Shen Qingyan's menstrual period had just ended, and Yin Qi was worried that her physical strength had not fully recovered, after all, Shen Qingyan's dehydration was like a serious illness.

Shen Qingyan sat down at the table with joy in her heart, now only food could heal her soul wounded by waking up early.

Today's breakfast is very rich, the staple food is beef dumplings, the dishes are eggplant box, golden hook cabbage and braised prawns, the cake is chestnut cake, today is not porridge, it is lotus seed soup.

Shen Qingyan picked up a dumpling and stuffed it into his mouth, and when he bit it gently, the delicious juice overflowed into his mouth, and the tight meat filling rolled on the tip of his tongue, with moderate saltiness.

Yin Qi gave the lotus seed soup to Shen Qingyan and put it aside to cool, picked up chopsticks again, put an eggplant box in Shen Qingyan's plate, and sandwiched another prawn, and began to peel the shrimp.

Yin Qi's skill in peeling shrimp is very skilled, and he put a whole shrimp into Shen Qingyan's plate in three or two clicks.

"Wow, that's amazing! How do you peel it, it's peeled all at once. Shen Qingyan watched with great interest on the side, and didn't send food to his mouth, just sat on the side and watched Yin Qi peel shrimp.

"You don't need to know how to peel it, I'll peel the shrimp for you in the future, and you can eat it." Yin Qi motioned for Shen Qingyan to continue eating, and continued to peel shrimp for her on the side.

Shen Qingyan listened to Yin Qi's words, smiled sweetly, picked up the shrimp that Yin Qi peeled for her, and put it in her mouth.

Shen Qingyan ate several dumplings and chestnut cakes, swept away the shrimp that Yin Qi peeled for her, poured a bowl of lotus seed soup into her stomach, and went to practice dancing unhurriedly. In fact, she has tried her best to delay her movements, for some reason, she always has a sense of resistance to the palace dominated by Yin Xiao and Concubine Li, and, I can't say why, she always wants to stick to Yin Qi's side all the time, unwilling to be separated from him, but because of Yin Qi's special situation, he can't always accompany her to dance practice, otherwise he will always show his feet and arouse the suspicion of others, not to mention, Yin Qi also has a lot of important things to do.

Shen Qingyan was sent to the carriage by Yin Qi, and after saying goodbye reluctantly, he went to the palace with the carriage.

When she arrived at the palace, the palace maid had been waiting at the door for a long time, and when she saw Shen Qingyan coming, she hurriedly stepped forward and took Shen Qingyan out of the carriage, leading Shen Qingyan to Ming Lingting, where the concubines practiced dance or other talents on weekdays, and now for the showdown of the Mid-Autumn Festival dinner, it has been specially cleared out for Concubine Meng and Shen Qingyan to use.

Shen followed the palace maid expressionlessly, but what he was thinking about was how to get along with Concubine Meng, Concubine Meng was not involved in the battle between Yin Qi and Yin Yuan, she could only be regarded as an outsider, and she was implicated this time, but because she was too favored and became a thorn in Yu Yan's side, she didn't need to treat her specially, she was just an ordinary elder, although Concubine Meng was only a few years older than herself.

Soon, Ming Lingting arrived, and after the palace maid brought Shen Qingyan to him, she retreated, Yin Xiao had already decreed that no one else was allowed to watch the dance except for Concubine Meng and Shen Qingyan, so as not to leak it out and be robbed of the opportunity by the feudal state. Shen smiled lightly, if the dance was leaked, wouldn't it be the sin of himself and Concubine Meng, and I am afraid that ten mouths will not be able to tell it clearly.

"Erchen see Concubine Meng." Shen Qingyan saluted very regularly, and his attitude was neither humble nor arrogant, as usual.

"There are only two of us here, and this palace is only a few years older than you, let's call it Sister Dream of this palace, the sisters before this palace are all called this palace, Concubine Meng Niangniang or something, it's too alienating." Concubine Meng smiled and took Shen Qingyan's hand, which was very kind.

"Concubine Mengniang, although there are only the two of us, but the etiquette cannot be abolished, I still call you Stomach Concubine Niangniang." Shen Qingyan took out her hand very calmly, and politely rejected Concubine Meng's closeness, in this deep palace, there are a few who are sincere, Shen Qingyan will never be deceived by the illusion on the surface, she has never known anything about Concubine Meng, how can she be gullible.

"Okay, it's up to you." Concubine Meng was not embarrassed by Shen Qingyan's refusal, she was still smiling, and her expression was not flawed in the slightest.

After the two exchanged pleasantries, they began to warm up. Needless to say, Concubine Meng was born as a palace player, and there was no other way out except for practicing dance since she was a child, and her body had already formed a lifelong memory, even if she had not practiced dancing for a long time since she became an imperial concubine, the simple warm-up action was still just a pinch, as simple as drinking water.

Although Shen Qingyan does not regard dancing as a way out of the world like Concubine Meng, she has also practiced dancing since she was a child, coupled with her extraordinary talent and very soft body, these warm-up movements are not a problem, and there is no difficulty.

"This time, the dance we danced was a modified version of the Phoenix Dance Nine Heavens." Concubine Meng looked at Shen Qingyan, her expression was very serious, she was very serious when she treated dance, and she was the first official in the world, and her dance was famous, so the dance was fully compiled by her, and she also taught it, without the need for other masters to teach, "The Phoenix Dance Nine Heavens is a solo dance, among which the Flying Dance is the most famous, and the focus of the dance is the softness of the body and the form of expression. In addition to the original requirements, it also requires you to cooperate with the palace tacit understanding, you have me, I have you, intertwined with each other, in order to reflect the essence of the dance. ”

"Okay, Erchen understands." Shen Qingyan nodded slightly, and became serious. Although Shen Qingyan doesn't like to have too much contact with people in this palace, dance is of great significance to her, and she will definitely take it seriously, so she took all her attention to learn dance.

"Tie the shawl." Concubine Meng handed a very long water-red shawl to Shen Qingyan, and tied a water-blue shawl herself, "The costumes we wore when we danced were already being made, and the shawl at that time would be a million times stronger than this shawl, so let's make do with it first." ”

Shen Qingyan saw that Concubine Meng did not hide her dislike for this shawl, and couldn't help but smile, although this batch of Bo is not made of high-grade silk, but it is also well-made, but she didn't think that Concubine Meng could only make do here. However, it is understandable that Concubine Meng has worn so many dance costumes and participated in large and small performances, so ordinary costumes really can't get into her eyes.

"We learn step by step, and put the flying dance to the end, which is the most time-consuming." Concubine Meng saw that Shen Qingyan had tied the shawl, so she began to teach Shen Qingyan how to move.

Concubine Meng waved the shawl in her hand, and the shawl seemed to come to life, dancing in the air, like an aqua blue snake, like a soft body. Concubine Meng turned around with a lower waist, the shawl was waved into a full arc, followed by a lower fork, and she was back to standing, and she never used her hands to support the floor during the whole process, relying on her waist and leg strength.

After jumping these movements, Concubine Meng stopped, looked at Shen Qingyan, and saw that Shen Qingyan was watching her movements and learning intently, and nodded with satisfaction, she was very pleased with Shen Qingyan's respect and seriousness.

"You dance these movements first, remember, when you turn around, you must use skill, don't use brute force, otherwise it is easy to sprain your waist." Concubine Meng reminded Shen Qingyan that she was pregnant at this time, although she only danced a few movements, but because all of them were movements that required strength, she was quickly tired, but she couldn't let Shen Qingyan notice it, so she quickly sat down to recover her strength. In fact, when she first received the order, she wanted to refuse because of the fetus in her womb, but if she wanted to say a convincing reason, she could only say that she was pregnant.

"Okay." Shen Qingyan nodded lightly, stood in the center, and waved the shawl like Concubine Meng, she had also learned the ribbon dance before, so it was not difficult to wave the shawl beautifully, and when she turned around, she was also very dexterous and finished it smoothly, because the body was soft, the lower fork was easy for Shen Qingyan, but when she stood up again, Shen Qingyan paused and did not succeed. Shen Qingyan was already weak in physique, rarely exercised, and her leg strength was not enough to support her to stand up without supporting the ground, plus she hadn't practiced dancing for a long time, and her movements were a little rusty, so she didn't succeed.

"It's already good." Concubine Meng was smiling and applauding on the side, very satisfied with Shen Qingyan's performance, "These movements are actually very difficult, even if they can be made, it is not easy to do them beautifully, your dancing posture is very beautiful, except for the last stand up did not succeed, the rest of the problems are not at all, as for standing up, just practice more." ”

Shen Qingyan just nodded lightly when he heard this, and was not complacent because of Concubine Meng's praise, but just turned around and continued to contact. Concubine Meng looked at Shen Qingyan, who was focused and serious, smiled very gratifyingly, and began to practice on the side.
