Come, This Imperial Daughter Will Dance a Dance for You

Xuan Tian Ge froze. Feng Yu Heng wanted to dance? Why did she suddenly have this sort of thought? The question was… “Do you know how?”

Feng Yu Heng shrugged, “Where is there any matter of knowing or not. If I can’t dance well, could it mean that I can’t dance poorly?” After she finished speaking, she stood up and looked forward.

The people saw her stand up and stopped talking in an instant. They also stopped moving. Even the Empress and the imperial concubines were a little surprised. The majority of the imperial concubines were just wanting to watch something interesting, but the Empress was feeling apologetic, “That, uh… A-Heng, everyone was just joking. There’s no need to take it seriously.” Imperial Daughter Ji An did not know how to dance. Although she did not know this very clearly, Feng Yu Heng had never participated in an arts competition before. Thinking about it, she must not be proficient in these things.

The Empress speaking up was to smooth things over for Feng Yu Heng, giving her a way out, but there would always be some people that refused to step down. They then heard the seventh princess of Gu Shu say: “It was indeed a joke, but Imperial Daughter Ji An has already stood up. This means that Imperial Daughter has that desire. We can’t just brush her off.”

The Empress’ expression sank. The princess of Gu Shu coming without an invitation was already annoying enough. Now, she was openly opposing Feng Yu Heng during this banquet. What exactly was she wanting to do?

While she was preparing to speak up to stop things, she heard Feng Yu Heng say: “That’s right! What Princess said is correct. You can’t brush me off, thus this imperial daughter cannot brush everyone else off. Dance? Alright.” After she spoke, she bowed to the Empress: “A-Heng thanks Your Highness for your understanding. Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival. It’s good for things to be a little livelier. Please allow A-Heng to prepare for a moment.”

Upon seeing that the situation could no longer be salvaged, the Empress could only nod and allow Feng Yu Heng to head to the stage.

When Feng Yu Heng departed, the people began to discuss once more. Imperial Daughter Ji An was about to participate in a dance. This could be considered something big! These people hated that they could not call the men from the front of the palace over to the garden. Unfortunately, they could only think about this. In the end, this side was reserved for the womenfolk to enjoy a banquet. Officials would not be permitted to enter.

Feng Yu Heng did not spend much time preparing. Very quickly, the music started, and dancers in colorful clothes appeared. The people stared wide-eyed toward the back while waiting for the important person to appear. But after waiting, their necks grew longer from craning them. They stared straight ahead but did not see even a sliver of Feng Yu Heng’s shadow!

Someone said: “Perhaps this is not the dance. Imperial Daughter Ji An might still need to prepare for a little while longer, and this is just to fill the time.”

The people were all nodding in agreement with this, “That’s right! Let’s just wait a bit. Perhaps the next one will be it. Or perhaps the one after that will be imperial daughter’s performance.”

But there were also some people that expressed their doubts: “Huh? Look, why does there look like there’s someone familiar in the middle of the dancers?”

Once this was spoken, everyone’s attention was immediately captured, as they saw a young miss point toward the group of dancers and say: “That one, the one in the middle, the one that seems to be a little unable to keep up with the beat! Even when performing a spin, she turns the wrong way.”
