Rebirth Nunnery

Chapter 70
Yunyuefang is divided into two main halls, east and west. The west hall, Yunliu Pavilion and Yunnuan Pavilion, are places for dancers to practice dancing. The east hall is a place for musicians to practice.

Of course, in addition to these three halls, there are also many pavilions and bridges with excellent scenery.

Although most of the people in Yunyuefang are women, there are also some men who are musicians or singers, and they all live in the Fengliang Pavilion in the east hall.

When Ding Jiayi was brought to the Yunliu Pavilion in the West Hall, he saw several dancers practicing dancing.

These dancers are all graceful in figure, slender in stature, and excellent in appearance, even surpassing the famous girls such as Shuangwu in Qingzhou City.

When they saw a stranger, everyone stopped and looked over.

Ding Jiayi stepped forward gracefully, bowed his knees and bowed to everyone, and said in a low voice.

"Little sister Ding Wan, I have met all the sisters."

At this time, Ding Jiayi's veil had already been taken off, and her shy and timid face made people want to protect her, but her dodging and nervous expression fell into the eyes of everyone.

Among the group of dancers, a person came out immediately.

"Here's a newcomer? Sister, you don't need to be too polite. When you go outside Yunliu Pavilion, you can treat it as your own family. If you don't understand anything in the future, just ask me. I am the eldest sister here, Huanyue."

Ding Jiayi looked up, this woman was about [-] years old, she was indeed the oldest among the crowd, but her face was extremely beautiful, her skin was as fair as snow, her brows were like daisy, and her hair was long blue silk, which gave people a sense of gentleness.

In particular, her figure is definitely the most perfect that Ding Jiayi has ever seen. Even Ding Jiayi couldn't help but sigh in his heart, let alone how crazy those men would be when they saw it.

"I've seen Sister Huanyue."

Ding Jiayi only took one look, then hurriedly lowered his eyes, and called out in a low voice.

Na Huanyue was very satisfied with her attitude, recruited other dancers and introduced them to each other.

Before coming here, Ding Jiayi already knew that there are about 500 singing and dancing girls in Yunyuefang, of which 300 are musicians and singers, and the remaining more than [-] are dancers.

However, among these dancers, there are only a dozen or so who are really famous, and only these dozen or so can occupy the most important central position during the performance, while the others are at best only backup dancers.

Since Ding Jiayi has entered Yunyuefang, his goal is naturally to become one of the dozen "centers".

The Huanyue in front of me has been in Yunyuefang for the longest time and is also the most talented. It is said that she has been secretly taken care of by a certain royal prince for several years. Apart from performing in the palace, she has rarely appeared in it.

Ding Jiayi greeted those dancers one by one with a smile, but she sighed in her heart: Sure enough, there is no simple woman who can enter here!
Although there is no rule in Yunyuefang that dancers and others must live in the workshop, and they can also go out to find their own accommodation, but as the first day of coming to Yunyuefang, Ding Jiayi decided to stay.

As a newcomer, the residence is fixed, in the wing room at the back of Yunliu Pavilion, there are two people living in each wing room.

Ding Jiayi was placed in the most remote wing room. The furniture inside was quite furnished, and it seemed that it hadn't been cleaned for a long time.

The woman who led Ding Jiayi in seemed to have no background, and looked timid. Seeing Ding Jiayi frowning, she hurriedly explained.

"This is the only unoccupied room. Newcomers can only live here, not in the front yard. Everyone is the same."

Ding Jiayi was not angry, and smiled at her gently, and asked, "Where do Sister Huanyue and the others live?"

"Miss Huanyue doesn't live in the west hall. As for the other girls, they all live in the big room in the front yard. Their status is high, unlike us..."

Ding Jiayi has a good impression of this little girl. Although she is not outstanding in appearance, at most she is pretty, but her eyes are very clear, but her behavior is a bit petty, and she looks like she comes from a poor family.

Seeing that the little girl seemed a little nervous, Ding Jiayi casually chatted with her.

Ding Jiayi learned from the young girl that her name is Wu Mingxi, and she has been in Yunyuefang for more than half a year, but she has never been out to perform formally, and she actually does the work of a maid every day, and is called to drink by those dancers go.

In this regard, Ding Jiayi is not surprised, where there are people, there are fights, not to mention that most of the people living here are scheming women.

The little girl Wu Mingxi is only 15 years old this year, and she also lives in this backyard, not far from Ding Jiayi's wing.

As if feeling Ding Jiayi's kindness, Wu Mingxi also talked a lot.

After a while, the two talked and laughed and tidied up the wing room.

While the two were chatting in the yard, suddenly a group of seven or eight people walked into the backyard one after another.

The appearance, temperament, and clothes of these people are slightly inferior to those of Huanyue and others before them, but there is a sense of superiority in their eyes, which makes people very uncomfortable.

Seeing Ding Jiayi, the leader couldn't help but sneered, raised his chin, and walked over arrogantly.

"Hello, new here?"

This woman is not very old, but her face is extremely cold and arrogant, and the people around her are vaguely centered on her.

Ding Jiayi raised his eyebrows, but he didn't show his cowardice before. He calmly leaned against the pillar beside him, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and waved his hands casually.

"Where did the house sparrow come from? It's so noisy?"

These slightly sarcastic words immediately made the woman's face darken, and her pair of red phoenix eyes instantly became cold.

"Where did the bitch come from! Do you know who I am? How dare you talk to me like that?"

This woman's voice is quite pleasant, but her voice is top-notch, which ruins this good impression.

"Do I need to know who you are? This is Yunyuefang. Do you still think of yourself as everyone's daughter or Miss Xungui?"

Glancing at the woman with cold eyes, Ding Jiayi turned around and led Wu Mingxi, who was already petrified, back to the wing.

Outside the house, the woman's face was full of resentment, and the anger in her eyes almost set the surroundings on fire.

Inside the house, Wu Mingxi couldn't help patting her chest in fright.

"Sister Ding, why were you so tough just now? That's Lu Yuer."

Lu Yu'er entered Yunyuefang through the relationship of the chief eunuch in the palace. She was very arrogant. Although she had only been here for three months, few people in Yunyuefang dared to provoke her.

Ding Jiayi has also heard about this person, but to her, it is not important.

When she entered Yunyuefang, she naturally wanted to attract everyone's attention, and she would offend others anyway, so she didn't care about it for a while.

After staying in the side room for a short time, someone came and asked everyone to go to the main hall of the west hall.

Ding Jiayi walked at the end with the crowd, quietly looking around along the way, secretly remembering it in his heart.

In the lobby of the West Hall, the female steward and several female officials in the same attire were sitting and waiting.

When many dancers walked into the lobby, they all held their breath subconsciously, not daring to make a sound.

From Wu Mingxi's mouth, Ding Jiayi had already learned that the female steward she had seen before was named Wen Yan, a sixth-rank female official, and she could be regarded as the chief steward of their west hall.

Sitting next to Wen Yan were two women who were also wearing green palace attire, about thirty years old, one was thin and expressionless, the other was round and smiling.

These two are also sixth-rank female officials, they are the stewards of the female officials responsible for teaching etiquette and talent in the palace, named Yanlan and Dongqin.

Looking at the eight pretty women in the hall, a strange gleam flashed in Wen Yan's eyes, and he spoke immediately.

"Today is the day to test your results once a month. Last month, two people were kicked out of Yunyuefang due to poor performance. I hope there will be no more people today."

When the words fell to the ground, Wen Yan waved to both sides, and several palace ladies in yellow clothes came out from behind, and arranged various props properly.

"Two sisters, let's start!"

Wen Yan nodded to the two people beside him, and the two female officials stood up immediately.

"Now, the person who reported the name will step forward to perform a special talent, which will be judged by the three of us."

After Yan Lan finished speaking expressionlessly, she immediately called out a name.

Ding Jiayi has been standing at the end. She just arrived today, and she is not willing to ask her to perform. She just needs to watch it carefully.

It has to be said that these people are more or less talented to enter Yunyuefang, especially that Lu Yu'er, although arrogant, but has arrogant capital, playing the piano, composing poems, dancing, etc. are all the best among them.

The talent shows of these people basically only took a while, and soon it was Wu Mingxi's turn next to Ding Jiayi.

Wu Mingxi walked forward tremblingly, it was obvious that she was extremely nervous.

Ding Jiayi gave her an encouraging look, Wu Mingxi smiled timidly, pulled out a red fan, and began to dance lightly.

Wu Mingxi is a bit petite, but her body is very soft, and she can always make amazing moves. If she is not too nervous, her dancing skills are even inferior to that of Lu Yuer.

Ding Jiayi stood at the back, watching Wu Mingxi finish the dance music, sweating profusely from nervousness, and couldn't help thinking.

Going to Wumingxi for it, a total of seven people have finished performing.

But just as the three female officers of Wenyan were about to communicate, suddenly Lu Yuer spoke.

"Wen Guanshi, I heard that a new sister came today. With such a rare opportunity, why don't you let her perform and let the sisters open their eyes?"

Wen Yan couldn't help but frown at this abrupt voice, and subconsciously looked at Ding Jiayi who was the last of the crowd.

Before Wenyan could speak, the round Dongqin nodded with a smile.

"That's great, I just heard about the newcomer from others, but I haven't seen it yet!"

Wen Yan couldn't say anything more, so he nodded and pointed at Ding Jiayi.

"Ding Wan, you come forward."

Ding Jiayi didn't lose her nervousness and shyness at all, she stepped forward generously, put her hands on her waist, and bowed her knees to salute.

"Little girl Ding Wan, I have met three adults."

Ding Jiayi's etiquette was impeccable, and even the three female officials in the palace couldn't point out a single mistake.

A gleam flashed in Dongqin's eyes, but the smile on her face grew stronger.

"Ding Wan, right? You're quite attractive, I wonder what kind of talent you're good at?"

Ding Jiayi got up slowly, with a calm expression, and said calmly: "How dare the little girl claim to be good at it in front of the three adults? She just knows a little bit about it. If the three adults don't dislike it, then the little girl will have to make a fool of herself."

As he said that, Ding Jiayi said to the musician beside him, "Please everyone, please play the Qingping music just now."
