Ma'am, she only wants to be promoted

What Zhou Cairen prepared was a pair of exquisite gold teacups with pastel flowers and birds.

Showing the congratulatory gift he had prepared to Lu Wanning, Zhou Caicai said again: "Although the famous inkstone prepared by Lu Meiren is good, she has lost her ingenuity and intentions. Why don't Lu Meiren make a painting or play a piano by herself? How about a dance?"

This is the normal method of fighting for favor.

Lu Wanning understood Zhou Cairen's meaning, she smiled, and said, "Zhou Cairen, have you heard of Weng Jieyu's talent name?"

Zhou Cairen nodded, "I seem to have heard that Weng Jieyu is the most talented woman in Beijing."

Lu Wanning said: "That Zhou Cairen should have heard of Weng Jieyu's piano skills. Her piano skills can be compared with Mr. Liang's."

Weng Jieyu fell out of favor within a few days after entering the palace. If she still wanted to be favored, she would definitely not give up this opportunity to become a leader.

As for dancing, it doesn't mean she can't, but she can. There is also Wen Zhaoyi who is good at dancing in the palace.

While the two were talking, the other concubines also slowly said that Qu Cairen came a little later than many high-ranking concubines, but she is pregnant now, and she has the confidence to do so.

Qu Cairen was less than three months pregnant, and her belly was not yet visible. She walked in with the help of her personal maid. Seeing Zhou Cairen and Lu Wanning who were talking together, Qu Cairen stepped forward and said to Zhou Cairen : "Why doesn't sister Zhou wait for her younger sister?"

Zhou Cairen sat up straight, and said with a smile: "My sister heard from the maid next to my sister that my sister is not in a hurry to come here, so my sister has no choice but to come here first."

Qu Cairen sat on his seat, gently touched his stomach with one hand, and said to Zhou Cairen with a smile on his face: "Sister Zhou can come with me, anyway, I'm just waiting for you if you come early."

Zhou Cairen knew what Qu Cairen wanted to hear, she shook her head and said: "My sister is pregnant with a dragon heir, so it's okay to be late, it's not appropriate for my sister to come late."

Qu Cairen looked down at his stomach, and wanted to continue to say something, but Zhou Cairen said: "The concubine Hui is here."

When Qu Cairen heard the words, he immediately stopped showing off to Zhou Cairen the special treatment he had for being pregnant with a dragon heir, but turned his attention to Concubine Hui's belly.

Concubine Hui came very late today, at this time, Concubine Jing and Concubine Gui have already arrived.

Concubine Jing looked at Concubine Hui, who was proud of the spring breeze, and said: "My sister still thinks that Concubine Hui is not feeling well today, and I can't come to today's family banquet. I was thinking about whether to visit my sister after the family banquet is over. Now that my sister is here Now, my sister can rest assured."

Concubine Hui glanced at Concubine Jing, and said coldly: "Sister Jingfei is disappointed, sister, I am in good health."

Concubine Jing glanced at Concubine Hui's stomach, nodded, "I'm a little disappointed."

"You..." Concubine Hui was about to explode when the eunuch's shrill voice came from outside, "The empress is here!"

Concubine Hui's words got stuck in her throat, and she had to salute the queen who came in with everyone.

After the queen came, the emperor, the empress dowager, and the concubine Ming also came.

The time has come, and the feast begins.

The concubines in the harem presented congratulations to the emperor one by one, beginning with the queen, and congratulated him on his birthday.

Most of the congratulatory gifts from the empress, noble concubine, concubine Jing, including Concubine Hui and Concubine An were famous paintings and treasures, while Wen Zhaoyi prepared a dance as Lu Wanning expected.

When concubine Hui offered a toast to the emperor, Wen Zhaoyi retreated quietly. By the time concubine An finished offering the gift and returned to her seat, Wen Zhaoyi had already changed into a dance dress and appeared in front of everyone.

When Wen Zhaoyi appeared in the field, everyone's eyes fell on her. Seeing this, Lu Wanning couldn't help but glance at Xu Jieyu, and found that although Xu Jieyu was also staring at Wen Zhaoyi, what she was looking at was not Wen Zhaoyi's face , but the walking stick on her head.

A trace of doubt flashed in Lu Wanning's heart, what's wrong with that Bu Yao?Or Xu Jieyu fiddled with that step?
There are many small and round pearls hanging from the tassels on the bottom of the step shaker. If Xu Jieyu really moved her hands and feet on the step shaker, and Wen Zhaoyi was dancing, and the pearls on the step shaker spilled all over the ground, then Wen Zhaoyi would definitely die if she stepped on the pearls. Fall down and make a fool of yourself.

Holding the wine glass, Wen Zhaoyi walked up to the emperor with a slight twist of her waist, bowing gracefully, "I learned a new dance some time ago, and I want to present it to the emperor today. I wish the emperor good luck, Life without bounds."

Luo Chengjing took a sip of the wine in his glass and nodded.

Wen Zhaoyi handed the wine glass in her hand to the maid at the side, walked to the center of the palace, bent down, flicked her sleeves, and danced lightly.

Wen Zhaoyi is the best dancing concubine in the palace, every move she raises her hand and every step she stomps her feet show a soft charm.

From the point of view of Lu Wanning, a layman who doesn't know how to dance, she also thinks that Wen Zhaoyi dances very well.

It's just that Lu Wanning had doubts before. When Wen Zhaoyi danced, her eyes would always be attracted to that exquisite walking swing unconsciously.

But Lu Wanning stared at that Bu Yao for a long time, but there was nothing wrong with that Bu Yao, and the pearls on it fell safely on it.

Maybe she was thinking too much, Lu Wanyi no longer paid attention to the Bu Yao on Wen Zhaoyi's head, but seriously watched Wen Zhaoyi dancing.

But I don't know if it's Lu Wanning's illusion, why does she feel that Wen Zhaoyi doesn't seem to jump as smoothly as in the beginning, whether it's pointing to the ground, or spinning and jumping, there will always be a momentary stagnation, and her face seems to be a little bit wrong.

Wen Zhaoyi is a person who is used to dancing, so it is impossible for her to have a problem with her physical strength, so what is the problem?

Just as Lu Wanning was thinking, Wen Zhaoyi's feet suddenly went limp when she was doing a jumping and landing movement, and she fell to the ground.

This... the dance to celebrate the emperor's birthday went wrong, Lu Wanning looked at the emperor, and saw the emperor frowned, and said: "Wen Zhaoyi is not feeling well, go back and rest."

With a pale face, Wen Zhaoyi was helped out of the Yunyin Palace by her maid, and Lu Wanning noticed that her face turned paler with every step she took.

After Wen Zhaoyi left, the banquet in Yunyin Hall continued.

And Wen Zhaoyi walked out of Yunyin Hall with the support of two maids, and immediately found a place to sit down, sweating coldly on his forehead, asking his maid to take off the soft-soled dancing shoes on her feet for self-sufficiency.

The maid took off the shoes on Wen Zhaoyi's feet as Wen Zhaoyi said, and then found that the soles of Wen Zhaoyi's feet were dripping with blood, and there were broken silver needles densely hidden in the two soft-soled dancing shoes.

"This..." The two maids were shocked, and Shuang Jiang, who was in charge of keeping Wen Zhaoyi's shoes before, swore to Wen Zhaoyi with a pale face: "Zhaoyi, I dare to swear that I have never betrayed my mother, and I don't know what is going on in these shoes." Is it like this?"
