Handsome Prince, Come to my Embrace

Shen Changqing frowned, he looked at the woman on the ground.

"What are you still standing there stunned for? Hurry up and wake her up and continue hitting her. Otherwise, how can you defend the rules of the imperial harem?" Seeing that the servant had stopped, afraid that Shen Changqing would show mercy, the dancers immediately stood out and urged him.

Seeing that the Manager Shen beside her did not say a word, the servant thought to herself, in the end, she still pulled Luo Shang up, and raised the board once again, waving it in the air.

The black shadow gradually descended.

"Stop!"

Hearing the voice, everyone turned around.

Su Qing walked over, looked at the woman on the ground, and snatched the stick from the servant's hands, throwing it to the side fiercely.

"Who told you to do this?"

She had only left for a short while, but did not expect that this group of people would actually beat Luo Shang to such a state. If they continued to fight, with Luo Shang's body, even if she was not beaten to death, she would at least be able to live a half a life without being crippled.

These silly things.

"I asked them to."

Hearing the voice from behind the crowd, Su Qing turned her head.

"Aunt?" She was surprised, she did not expect Shen Changqing to be here.

"Su Qing, see that? It was aunt's order, what, what else do you want to say?" The dancers spoke coldly, purposely provoking him.

Manager Shen had always been a merciful person, how could she be so heartless to Luo Shang?

"Sister Su Qing, don't tell me that you want to offend Aunt because of this woman again? My advice to you is not to interfere in this matter, since she won't be grateful to you." A servant whispered to Su Qing.

As for yesterday's matter, my aunt still has an opinion, if she were to take action today, it would not be as simple as irritating manager.

Su Qing did not have time to think about these things, the most important thing right now was to invite a doctor for Luo Shang. She looked at Shen Changqing and said, "Regardless of whether or not Luo Shang is in the wrong, it is normal for his to teach him. However, right now, let us ask Aunt to find a husband for her so that she can do the opposite. "

"Su Qing, you are not related to her in any way, and why are you treating her this way? Could it be that you two are hiding something from your aunt?" Qing Ning snorted, she stared at Su Qing.

"Not everyone is as cold-blooded and heartless as you, Qing Ning." Su Qing looked at her with contempt, and ridiculed.

"You …"

"Enough!" Shen Changqing snapped in displeasure, and everyone lowered their heads, not saying a word.

She also looked at the girl on the ground and shook her head. What was wrong with her? Was it just because they looked similar that she was confused?

"All of you, go practice your dance. This is what you need to do. Go down!" Su Qing, you stay. "

After Shen Changqing finished speaking, the dancers all agreed and went back to their own places. Qing Ning glared at Su Qing and angrily shook her sleeves before turning to leave.

After the crowd dispersed, Shen Changqing said, "You never cared about such trivial things, why did you make an exception for this girl, do you think that she will help you one day?"

Luo Shang had once been a Princess Jin, after all. She accompanied the Prince Jin by her side.

Hearing Shen Changqing's words, Su Qing laughed.

"Could it be that Su Qing is just a vulgar woman in my aunt's eyes? Not to mention she's an impoverished wangfei, even if she wasn't, I would still help. "

Looking at Shen Changqing's suspicious expression, Su Qing asked her: "Aunt has always been kind and amiable, but he was also acting this way towards her, why is that so?"

For some reason, just because she was similar to that woman, this was an absurd reason.

Ever since the prince's whereabouts were unknown, she had concealed her identity. It was because the Prince Jin took her in, that allowed her to live here her entire life, and the more this happened, the more she hated that malicious woman to the extreme. Every day and night, Shen Changqing would dream about the Empress' miserable death and how the prince was crying in her arms.

That was why she was so angry when she saw Luo Shang.

Seeing that she did not say anything, she must have hidden herself. She supported Luo Shang who was on the ground, wiped the sweat off the girl's forehead and spoke to Shen Changqing: "The reason I saved her, was only because she was a kind child, that's all."

Shen Changqing did not say anything else, glanced at the unconscious Luo Shang, and left with the servant.

"What are you two still standing around for? Hurry up and invite the doctor over." Su Qing ordered the two girls behind him.

In the backyard, although she was a dancer, her position was equivalent to that of someone below the manager. Even Shen Changqing had to give her face, let alone others.

As the sun shined in the sky, the clouds were moving westward.

In the Southern Garden side room, when Luo Shang opened her eyes, there was not a single person in the room.

Lying on the bed, she felt waves of intense pain on her back. Only now did she recall the scene back then.

Actually, she could guess that other than Su Qing, there would not be anyone else.

Luo Shang held onto the carriage at the side and slowly moved it. Right when she took one leg out and landed on the ground, she felt a gust of cold wind come from the window and her wound immediately started to hurt again.

She put on her shoes with great difficulty. Her long hair that was like water flowed down her shoulders as she slowly walked towards the window.

In the courtyard, under the peach tree, a group of girls were dancing gracefully, as if they were being adorned by stars and flames, decorating the beautiful backyard.

"Luo Shang."

She turned when she heard voices behind her.

Su Qing poured a cup of tea, walked towards her, and handed it over to her.

"Who the hell are you?"

Su Qing was actually stumped by her words, and she could not help but laugh: "Why would you ask that. Of course it's the same as you, we're both dancers from the rear courtyard."

Luo Shang looked at her, her indifferent eyes thinking over and over again. Ever since the first time she had met this woman called Su Qing, she had already suspected her identity.

"You're not a dancer."

Su Qing pulled up her sleeves and looked out of the window. Her hands rested on the stunned corner of the window as she turned around and smiled: "How are you so sure that I'm not a dancer? Then what am I?"

"As a dancer, your steps should be light, but you are deliberately suppressing your steps. This is also the reason why you rarely dance. Right? "

Su Qing only narrowed her eyes and looked at her, but did not speak.

"No matter who you are, you have nothing to do with me. Miss Su Qing, I am very grateful that you helped me several times, but I hope that you will not interfere in my matters again in the future." Luo Shang's beautiful eyes swept over her as she spoke indifferently, drawing a clear line between her and herself.

Luo Shang did not know where this Miss Su came from, nor did she hide her identity. She did not want to know either.

"I didn't expect you to be so intelligent. How rare. In that case, I'll tell you, yes, I'm not a dancer. I've come to the palace with my own purpose. You should have heard of the Flower Soul Exhibition. As long as I can win the title of the champion on that day, I can become the imperial concubine in one fell swoop. " Su Qing squinted her eyes, showing a deep look.

"I have no intention of getting close to you. To me, you have no value at all. It's only because I want to save you, and also because I have the ability to do so. "

Su Qing then said, "There's still half a month before the Flower Soul Exhibition. At that time, all the dancers and singers in the backyard will be going on stage, including you. So, regardless of whether you're willing or not, you still have to practice with me these next few days. "

After she finished, she patted Luo Shang's shoulders and smiled as she left.

Flower Soul Exhibition.

Why did Luo Shang feel such unease in her heart?

— —

Ever since she had entered the backyard, it had been the same as when she had entered the palace.

Shen Changqing did not care about her life or death at all.

Qing Ning still made things difficult for her and framed her, causing her to be punished time and time again.

Today …

It was the day of the Hundred Dancing Assembly in the backyard. All the females were present at the same time.

Shen Changqing went to the bottom of the jade platform early to sit.

"Is everyone here?" Shen Changqing tucked his sleeves, put down the teacup in his hand, and asked the servant by his side.

"Reporting to Aunt, Luo Shang isn't here yet."

For such an important occasion like the Hundred Dance Conference, it was only she who did not come. It was truly an unsightly scene.

By the side, Qing Ning and the other dancers of Southern Garden could not help but laugh proudly, thinking to themselves: That woman will not come.

Shen Changqing's face darkened, just as he was about to instruct the servant, he heard Luo Shang's voice calling out, "is late, Aunt, please forgive me."

Seeing that she had arrived, Qing Ning frowned, her face immediately turning ugly. She looked at the lady who was at a loss, what was going on, could it be that she drugged wrongly?

It wasn't easy for them to poison Su Qing when she wasn't around, and they had no idea that she would appear here. Could it be that she didn't drink?

Luo Shang bowed in front of Shen Changqing and apologized. She could actually feel from the bottom of her heart that this Aunt Evergreen was very kind. As for why she was treating her like this, it must be some misunderstanding.

Shen Changqing did not bother with her anymore. Seeing that everyone was present, he walked up to the jade platform and said to the people around him: "Today is the day for the hundred dances in the west wing of our courtyard. Everyone knows that the Flower Soul Exhibition will be held in ten days, so today's dance is very important.

Once she said this, Zheng Zheng Xiao Yin sounded out continuously.

The dancers were all dressed in white, with light blue silk intertwining around each other. Their black hair was dyed in ink, and their colorful fans were floating in the air, giving them the appearance of fairies from a dream.

Every one of them was graceful, their bodies as light as a swallow, their steps gentle and orderly, and Luoluo very appropriate.

The sound of the zither string music was so clear that it could be heard. The folding fans in the girls' hands were like strings, half turning, half opening, half closing.

Luo Shang and Su Qing had been practicing day and night, and their dancing skills had definitely grown. Su Qing had told her before that she must have been a flower in the middle of a dance in the past, but it had been too long since she was born.

Fortunately, she was talented and quickly mastered all the techniques.

Just as the song was about to end, Qing Ning glanced at the two dancers through her fan.
