If An Lingrong was reborn before the draft

"If everyone follows Concubine Jing's example, is there any point in playing this game? If everyone breaks the rules like Concubine Jing, there's no point in playing it today." Concubine Hua was already in a bad mood, and Lingrong was still arguing with her. She felt like a powder keg.

Concubine Cao didn't say anything when she saw the argument was going on, just waiting for someone to speak. She hadn't intended to embarrass Concubine Jing, mainly because Concubine Jing couldn't think of any way to embarrass her, so she was just going to randomly pick a piece of paper, wondering if it would be okay. But she didn't expect that she would end up in such a mess.

"I don't think I've ever heard of any talent that Concubine Jing has," Concubine Qi continued. Lingrong knew that she was just trying to mock herself. After all, she was a lady from an official family, but she didn't even have a single skill in the arts of music, chess, calligraphy, or painting.

"Forget it, don't make it hard for her. You don't want her to show you how to drink a pot of wine in two gulps." The emperor joked. He remembered that he once asked Lingrong what she was good at and asked her if she could sing because she had a good voice. Lingrong said she couldn't. He told her that if he forced her to show her talent again, she would show him how to drink a pot of wine in two gulps. He was amused at that time.

"Your Majesty, just go ahead and discredit me." Lingrong covered her face and laughed. Damn, the dog emperor really guessed it.

"Next, let Qin Mo draw the lot," the emperor said, glancing at her.

"Next is Concubine Wan, please perform the "Jinghong Dance."" After receiving the emperor's signal, Concubine Cao turned around and reached into the lottery tube, then took out the long-prepared note from her sleeve.

The atmosphere in the palace suddenly froze when the song "Stunning Dance" was heard. Concubine Cao continued, "Your Majesty, Concubine Wan's appearance is as graceful as a swimming dragon and as stunning as a swan. It is right for my sister to dance with her."

The emperor smacked his lips and said nothing. He knew their purpose today.

"This 'Jinghong Dance' was created by Concubine Mei of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty. It has been lost for a long time. However, Empress Chunyuan loved singing and dancing very much. She searched for the original dance for many times and modified it with great effort. It once moved the world and was very popular in the palace." Xin Changzai said as if recalling the past.

Ling Rong was of low status in her previous life and was not worth their attention. This time, she just subconsciously did not want to entertain the guests. Even if she avoided the game, she did not think clearly about the purpose of the play sung by Cao Qinmo. After listening to Xin Changzai's words, she understood that Zhen Huan was very similar to Queen Chunyuan. Now she can also perform the "Jinghong Dance" that Queen Chunyuan is best at. If she dances badly, she will be outdone by Queen Chunyuan. Even if she dances well, it will remind the emperor of Queen Chunyuan, making Zhen Huan always a substitute for Queen Chunyuan and never get out of this curse.

"This 'Jinghong Dance' is the most difficult to learn. If you dance it well, it will be stunning. If you dance it badly, it will be like an ugly imitation of a beautiful woman." Noble Lady Fucha seemed to be talking to Concubine Xin, but her voice could be heard by everyone present, and the mockery in her expression was evident in her words.

"How old is this Miss Wan? How can she perform the "Jinghong Dance"? Lady Cao is really asking too much of her." Concubine Xin was trying to find an excuse for Zhen Huan so that she would have something to say about her dancing, whether it was good or not.

"Ah, Concubine Wan is very talented. This 'Jinghong Dance' is something that all women can dance," Concubine Cao smiled and took over what Concubine Xin said. She was determined to do this, so how could she easily let a few words break her goal? She first looked at the emperor and said, "If you say that your dance is not as good as Queen Chunyuan, that is understandable. Everyone present is a sister, so why should we be so formal?"

What Concubine Cao said was the most vicious. She has found reasons for you to dance well or not, and said that we are sisters and there is no need to be so formal. It means that you can dance poorly today but you must dance.

At this point, if Zhen Huan didn't stand up and express her opinion, she would be ungrateful. She stood up, bowed, and said, "Sister, your dance is really not worthy of being in an elegant place. I'm afraid it will be laughed at."
