Chapter 57: Hell on Earth (3)
"Send someone to keep an eye on Shan Zhen and Xue Han, and have the spies lurking in the palace report the emperor's every move and the movements of officials of all ranks in the court to me. Remember, nothing can be left out."
"Yes, sir!"
Zhou Yan has always been careful in his work and never allows any negligence or omissions. This is usually the case, and he goes even deeper when he is serious. Zuo Yu can clearly feel that Zhou Yan has become serious at this moment. He knows that as long as Zhou Yan is serious, he will definitely get to the bottom of things, and nothing can escape his eyes, so Zuo Yu also seems very motivated.
“Your Majesty!!”
The guard's voice came from outside the door.
"What's up?"
"Everything the prince ordered has been prepared."
"knew."
After talking to the guard outside the door, Zhou Yan stood up and prepared to leave...
"In addition to what I just said, send someone to keep a close eye on Feng Qinghan. This person must be someone special."
"yes!"
After saying that, Zhou Yan left, and Zuo Yu followed closely behind him. Generally speaking, Zuo Yu was the same as Shan Zhen. Shan Zhen was Zhou Cheng's confidant and would only leave Zhou Cheng under special circumstances. The same was true for Zuo Yu. Unless necessary, Zuo Yu would usually follow Zhou Yan.
【Xinzhu Garden】.
Yinyin is dancing with Fu Ji, while Feng Qinghan is playing the piano beside them?
After a while, the song ended.
"Ah! It's really not easy to keep up with the princess."
As soon as she stopped, Fu Ji looked exhausted.
"Sister Fu Ji, you are too kind."
"Don't be so modest. It has always been like this. It is too hard to keep up with you. If I hadn't practiced dancing since I was a child, it would have been even harder to keep up."
"I think the one who is modest is Miss Fu Ji—"
Feng Qinghan walked towards Yin Yin. He said that he was now a guest in the palace just like Fu Ji. Of course, it was because of Yin Yin's invitation. And as long as Yin Yin spoke, Zhou Yan would have no choice.
"Mr. Feng——"
Fu Ji was a little hesitant when Feng Qinghan came towards her. In fact, she had no resistance to Feng Qinghan's appearance. After spending a few days with him since they first met, she still couldn't adapt to him. It's not that she liked him, she just felt a little bit distant from him.
"Not to mention that Yinyin is the founder, this is the first time I've seen someone dance so well. Miss Fuji is truly the most popular dancer ."
Feng Qinghan's words were of course reserved. The highest popularity in the contemporary world is not reputation. Fu Ji has been traveling around performing all year round, some are invited and some are on her own stage, so you can imagine how popular she is. The reason why Yin Yin is known as the world's number one "dancer" is because her dance is rare and hard to come by, and because of her unattainable status, her fame and popularity are not comparable to Fu Ji's. It is because of Yin Yin's special identity that people will not compare her with ordinary dancers. In other words, leaving aside Yin Yin's words, Fu Ji deserves the title of the world's number one dancer.
"Mr. Feng, you are too kind. If I hadn't seen the princess's dancing, I might have felt that I deserved it. It's not that I'm being modest. I've been accompanied by dance since I was young. I've been wandering around the world for many years. I've seen many other dancers' dancing, but none of them made me feel that I could compete with them. It wasn't until I saw the princess's dancing that I felt that there are many wonders in the world. After seeing her dancing, I didn't even need to compete. I was convinced of my defeat."
Fu Ji loves dancing and is very proud of her dancing skills. She never admits defeat to anyone. However, she admits defeat before the competition even begins, which shows how much she recognizes Yin Yin.
Long before, the world-famous Four Concubines (music, chess, calligraphy and painting) were household names, but Fu Ji's reputation was also not weak. Whenever the dancer was mentioned, no one would fail to think of her. It's a pity that compared with the world-famous Four Concubines, the Four Concubines not only possessed outstanding and recognized talents, but were also born into famous families and high-ranking officials. They were people who combined talent, beauty and prominent status. Fu Ji was an orphan who had been wandering around with . Moreover, the term "dancer" generally makes people think of women in the secular world. Just by being born, Fu Ji had lost the qualifications to be compared with the Four Concubines. Later, Yin Yin became famous with a dance at the birthday banquet of the Crown Prince of Zhou. Like the other Four Concubines, she was a person with beauty, talent and status, and therefore was praised by the world. Afterwards, Yin Yin became famous as a "dancer", and the world gradually forgot about Fu Ji. In the end, if Yin Yin had not appeared, Fu Ji would have been hailed as the world's number one dancer!
"Sister Fu Ji is too kind to Yin Yin. No matter how we compare, I can't compare to Fu Ji's versatility. Sister Fu Ji knows all kinds of dances, but Yin Yin only knows one. The title of the world's best dancer is totally groundless."
Putting aside Yinyin's amnesia, she didn't know much about the Five Concubines, let alone Fuji, even though they had been together for two years...
"That's not something that was created out of nothing. Princess, you may not know that knowing many kinds of dances is just for others to watch. Princess, yours is different. It's true that many dancers can perform the Colorful Skirt Dance. It can be said to be very common and ordinary. However, under the princess's exquisite interpretation, she can perform it in many different styles. The kind of dance that makes people immersed in it is not something that everyone can imitate. Therefore, no matter how many dance steps there are, as long as you capture the essence, no one can match it."
Feng Qinghan expressed his heartfelt agreement with Fu Ji's narration. This was also his feeling after watching many dancers' performances. He felt that their dancing could not be compared with Yin Yin's at all, and there was not even the possibility of a competition. This was also the reason why Fu Ji admitted defeat before the competition.
