Chapter 206: Dance on the Drum
Ye Qingge washed and dressed herself up under the help of the servants. She looked at herself in the mirror and smiled with satisfaction. This is probably what it feels like to wake up to your own handsomeness every day. Hahahahaha
She wanted to get up and go to the Imperial Hospital. She had studied the prescription for a few days and it was almost done. She would go again today to see if there was anything that needed improvement.
Only the palace maid came to tell
"Crown Princess, someone wants to see you."
"Who is it?"
"She is the daughter of the Shangshu Mansion, Xie Qing."
Ye Qingge was wondering who would come to see her. When she heard it was Xie Qing, she stood up happily.
"Quick Pass"
"Here"
After the palace maid left, a slim woman came in.
"Your humble servant pays homage to the Crown Princess."
Ye Qingge quickly helped her up
"Sister, please get up quickly."
She pulled Xie Qing to sit down. She hadn't seen her for a long time since she returned to Xining. Now that she saw her again, even she couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.
"My sister is getting more and more beautiful"
A pair of big eyes are as bright as stars, and when she smiles, two shallow dimples make her cute and smart.
Xie Qing lowered her head shyly and said
"My sister praised me, I was so happy"
Thinking of something, she said
"Crown Princess, I just overstepped my bounds."
Ye Qingge smiled
"Silly girl, there's no one else here, you can call me sister"
Xie Qing was a little nervous just now. After all, the palace is different from the outside world. She had to be careful about everything. After hearing what her sister said, she finally relaxed.
"Congratulations, sister, for finding your ideal husband. I'm so happy for you."
I heard that after my sister married the prince, his legs were healed, and they are very loving and affectionate. It is really enviable.
"Thank you, sister. I am very lucky to have met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Looking at her sister's face full of love, Xie Qing felt that her sister had really married the right person.
Ye Qingge looked at Xie Qing and asked at the right time
"Where's your sister? Have you met someone you like?"
Xie Qing was instantly deflated when she heard this. She shook her head and then said
"Sister, actually I came to the palace this time to ask for your help."
"You said, as long as I can help, I will definitely help you"
"Sister, can you teach me how to dance? Your dancing last year was really impressive. You don't know how stunning I was when I saw you back then."
Ye Qingge smiled
"Is it so exaggerated?"
Xie Qing nodded vigorously
"Then why do you suddenly want to learn to dance?"
"Before, I was so fat and was always looked down upon. I have been hiding in the dark for too long. This time, I want to appear in front of everyone with a brand new attitude. In the future, when people mention me, they won't call me that fat guy anymore."
Since she lost weight, she has not attended any banquets and rarely goes out. She basically stays at home, so no one knows that she has become thinner and more beautiful.
"In a while, it will be the Emperor's birthday. I want to dance for him then, and I also want everyone to see a different side of me."
Seeing Xie Qing's transformation, Ye Qingge was also very pleased. She said
"By the way, I'll dance for the Sixth Prince to see, so that he knows how foolish it was to reject you."
Xie Qing shook her head
"Sister, actually I have let it go. I don't like him anymore."
"Really?"
"Really, it might be a little hard at the beginning, but after a long time, I feel that it is nothing. It's just like that. I'm not dancing to make him regret it. Good horses don't turn back to the good grass they've left."
"Yeah, my sister is right. There are many good men in the world, and we don't need him anymore."
The two chatted for a while, and then began to study what kind of dance to do to amaze everyone. She couldn't do the flying dance anymore.
Ye Qingge racked his brains for a while, and suddenly an idea flashed in his mind.
“I figured out what to dance.”
Xie Qing looked at her with shining eyes
"Let's do a drum dance"
"Dancing on the drum?"
"That's right, dancing on drums can not only show your lightness, but also make everyone's eyes light up."
Xie Qing couldn't help but give a thumbs up
"Sister, your idea is great. No one has ever danced on the drum. Please teach me. I want to learn."
Ye Qingge immediately did what he said. He ordered people to carry a big drum in the garden and invited a musician from the palace. At this time, the morning sun was still very mild, and it was the perfect time to dance.
"I'll go up and show you first, then I'll break down the movements and teach you step by step."
"Uh-huh"
Xie Qing nodded quickly
Ye Qingge took off her shoes and socks, stepped on the drum with her bare feet, and began to dance as the music started to play.
Looking at her dancing sister, Xie Qing was stunned. She was so beautiful. She had never thought that she could dance on a drum. Her sister was really amazing and could do everything. She didn't know whether to envy her sister or the prince.
……
Xiao Lingye, who came over after hearing the noise, saw this scene.
The barefoot woman taps the drum surface with her feet, swings her long sleeves, spins and jumps on the drum surface.
The whole person exudes light, bright and beautiful
Xiao Lingye's eyes were blazing. This was the third time he saw her dancing. She really could surprise him every time.
Ye Qingge was so engrossed in the dance that she didn't notice Xiao Lingye's arrival until the song ended. She paused and said,
"I haven't danced for a long time, and I feel a little rusty. Wait a minute, practice on the ground first, and then dance on the drum when you are almost ready."
As she was talking, she was about to come down, but suddenly the world spun around and she fell into a familiar embrace.
Xiao Lingye held her and flew down from the drum
Ye Qingge hugged his neck tightly. She didn't notice when this guy came. It was very scary. Others were full of envy, while Ye Qingge looked frightened.
Seeing the affection between the two, Xie Qing, who had been heartbroken, seemed to be full of fantasies about love again.
"Your servant Xie Qing pays homage to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Xiao Lingye glanced at her and asked in a cold voice
"Who are you? Why are you in the East Palace?"
Xie Qing was frightened by the prince's expression and forgot to answer for a moment.
Seeing this, Ye Qingge quickly said
"Your Highness, Xie Qing is the daughter of the Shangshu Mansion and my friend. Please don't scare her."
Xiao Lingye frowned, but said nothing. He turned around and put Ye Qingge on the drum, then squatted down to pick up the shoes and socks on the ground and put them on her.
Xie Qing was stunned at first sight. What did she see? The noble prince actually put on shoes for her sister himself. This action was extremely natural. It seemed that he did this a lot.
Qingxia and Xiaomi have become accustomed to seeing this. There is no way His Royal Highness the Crown Prince dotes on the Crown Princess. If they rush to serve him, it would be too inconsiderate.
Ye Qingge was a little embarrassed, after all, Xie Qing was there. She wanted to retract her foot, but Xiao Lingye held it tightly.
"Be good and don't move"
Ye Qingge had no choice but to let him put on her shoes. After she put on her shoes and socks, he personally carried her down.
Turning around and seeing Xie Qing still there, Xiao Lingye couldn't help but frown and ask
"Do you have anything else?"
"Your Highness, Xie Qing came to learn dancing from me, and she hasn't even started yet."
It's not good to ask people to leave.
But Xie Qing learned her lesson this time, and she quickly said
"Princess, I suddenly remembered that there is a goose stewing in the iron pot at home. I will take my leave now and visit you again tomorrow."
Xie Qing saluted the two and then quickly withdrew. The look in the prince's eyes just now was really scary, so she had better get away as soon as possible.
