Qian You wore a lake blue long skirt today, which was tightened by a moon-white belt, which perfectly set off her slender and graceful figure.

This outfit was not conspicuous under the various colorful dance dresses. Today she was just a spectator, observing her surroundings in a low-key manner and enjoying Nanqi's famous dance and music.

The carriage they took was also deliberately chosen to be low-key.

There was no competition at Qianmai Music House today as they did not want to cause any trouble.

The two people lined up with their tickets waiting for inspection.

It can be seen that Taichang Temple was not well prepared today. The competition was about to begin. Among the people queuing for ticket checking and entering the venue, there was also the music troupe participating in the competition, who were making anxious noises.

The officials in charge of coordinating affairs and maintaining order were all sweating profusely. There was an official who seemed to have just been transferred in. He stood there with a confused look on his face, not knowing how to answer the questions from the music troupe and the audience.

Qian You looked around slowly and had some ideas in mind.

The smooth transition of power in Nanqi this time is a good thing, but it is also a bad thing.

The previous emperor of Southern Qi was gentle and moderate in his approach to affairs. Officials were not under much pressure and there were few radical people among them.

During the regency of the Ninth Uncle Qi Yi, there was still an emperor on the throne.

Although the emperor had been feeling unwell and had no interest in state affairs since the empress's death, his status remained unchanged. The regent could not act recklessly after all, so some roundaboutness and tolerance towards court officials was inevitable.

The Ninth Prince became emperor, but due to the disappearance of the imperial seal, the succession to the throne was always flawed. He did not make drastic adjustments to the personnel, probably hoping for a smooth transition in a low-key manner.

However, without pressure from superiors for such a long time, officials have become lazy and their ambition has slackened. They can still carry out daily affairs step by step, but as for actions that go beyond the norm, it is obvious that an organization of today's scale is full of loopholes.

While Qian You was lowering his eyes and thinking, he had already entered the hall after ticket checking.

As she thought, the backstage was even more chaotic.

The stage was very large. The first band to compete had already started tuning their instruments, while the people in the stands were still trying to find their seats in a panic.

Some of the music troupe preparing backstage were tuning their instruments during this period, while others were walking around casually.

The stands were even more crowded, with people sitting, walking, and calling out to their companions, the voices rising one after another.

The officials who were responsible for maintaining order in the hall were running around, adding chaos to the atmosphere.

"Qianyou, it's a bit messy here."

Qiao Nan was a little confused.

"very good."

Qian You whispered softly, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

"Such a chaotic scene is still good?"

Qiao Nan was a little confused.

"Oh, the chaotic organization of the dance competition does affect the performance. However, we are on the third day, and it shouldn't be so chaotic by then."

"That's right. The first day was a mess. They probably just had no experience."

The two of them found their seats while talking. Qiao Nan looked at the chaos at the scene and no longer felt nervous, and even less excited.

Not long after the two of them sat down, they could see that the host of the competition was nervous. He shouted loudly to maintain order in the venue and backstage, and finally managed to calm the situation down.

There was no excessive opening remarks. The competition rules and selection criteria had been announced in advance, and the music group began their performance.

The sound of stringed instruments, the silk scarves and colorful clothes, the graceful dance, floating like fairies.

The long skirt drags on the ground, the lotus steps are light, the sleeves are suddenly gathered in the rotation, the soft waist is like a willow swaying in the wind, moving slowly like a light cloud, and spinning quickly like a whirlwind, telling the story of separation and reunion, sorrow and joy.

The music was sometimes loud and clear, and sometimes gentle and soft. The people on the stage cooperated well with each other and their movements were in unison. It was obvious that they had all put in a lot of hard work.

The lingering sound of the music lingers in the air, the flowers fall and the people disperse.

The elegant music played on the pipa strings and the harmonious melody of the zither can soothe away all the sorrow in my heart.

The overall level of music and dance of Nanqi can indeed be regarded as the best among the four countries.

On the first day, all ten music troupes performed their best works. The audience enjoyed the performance to the fullest and was fascinated by the music, and was reluctant to leave.

Qian You and Qiao Nan walked out of the Taichang Temple Dance and Music Hall together. They had a new understanding of the overall level of Nanqi dance and music. They also made a comparison with the dance music that Qianmai Music Club was rehearsing. They smiled at each other.

The second day went on as usual, with people entering the venue much faster because there was a Hongxiaoyuan competition today and many of the spectators were dignitaries.

The appearances of officials above the fifth rank in Nanqi Lidu and their main family members had long been drawn by the waiters of Tianyi Restaurant and the takeaway boys from Qianmai Palace who ran around the city. With Qian You's photographic memory, it was not difficult for him to recognize them.

The much-anticipated Hongxiaoyuan was the first to appear in the afternoon. There was no host to control the scene and the place was completely silent.

The dance and music poured out magnificently.

A thousand miles of mountains and rivers, a cold river at dusk, young and frivolous, unaware of the tact, a farewell song and a glass of wine, the fleeting life is over and the love is gone.

On the stage, the musicians and dancers were fully engaged and performed to the fullest.

Plain yet gentle.

Clear, yet elegant.

Gorgeous, yet elegant.

The music ends and the dance stops. From then on, wind and rain ask about spring and summer. I only smile and know the elegance by listening to the strings.

There was thunderous applause from the audience stands.

Qian You fell into deep thought.

What kind of circumstances could have allowed one to create and choreograph such tragic music and dance? Hong Niangzi is truly a legend.

For many days, the information that Qianmai Palace had collected about Hongniangzi were only fragments, and after putting them together, they still haven't been able to figure out the life of this person, which is truly miraculous.

Summarizing information from various sources, it is preliminarily determined that Hong Niang is an excellent martial artist and should be over 20 years old. According to the practice of Emperor Nanqi Qi Yi leaving the throne of empress vacant, she should not be married yet.

For a woman to be still unmarried at this age is considered a miracle in this era.

And she is a woman who comes and goes as freely as the wind.

Her whereabouts are unpredictable, and even it is not easy for an emperor to find and keep her.

This woman really has a special liking for dance and music.

From today's dance and music arrangement, we can see that she has a unique appreciation and insight into dance and music, and she is independent and even hopes to express something through dance and music.

Qian You thought more and more and became more interested in this woman.

This woman must be a woman with a very interesting story, otherwise her dance and music would not be so profound.

The second day's competition was as expected. Hong Xiaoyuan was once again hotly discussed on the streets of Lidu and became a dream come true for artists.

On the third day, Qian You did not appear in the stands, but was replaced by Qiao Mu and Qi Luobai who was in makeup.

A day of singing and dancing, and their moods were up and down.

This was the first time Qi Luobai appeared in public after disguising himself, and they wanted to test the effect.

As expected, Qi Luobai passed through the ticket gate easily, and no one in the stands noticed his presence. Just like an ordinary person, his appearance did not cause any other fluctuations.

Qianmai Music Hall was the second to last to appear. After three days of music and dance, people were mentally numb and some were drowsy.

The wind is strong, and swords are flashing.

The horse neighs, the hero sings tragically.

Intrigue and deception, the Chu-Han contention for supremacy.

Ambush from all sides, sad songs everywhere...

With just a flick of the pipa, there was a "clang" sound, and the sound was so touching, the music was played softly and slowly, just like thoughts and fantasies.

The judges and spectators were so excited that they were involuntarily drawn into the music and dance, staring at the stage intently.
