Xia Shanshan stood on the stairs, watching Han Yuqing singing and dancing, anxiously wringing her hands as she thought of a solution.
Got it! Let Han Yuqing fall!
A vicious light flashed in Xia Shanshan's eyes. She turned around and went upstairs to her room, dug out a small bag of roasted dried soybeans that she had hidden in the morning, picked out three plump beans and went downstairs.
Han Yuqing's dance was almost over. She felt a great sense of accomplishment, and her eyes were full of tenderness every time she looked at Gu Changsheng.
Everyone was impressed by her dancing and watched quietly.
Suddenly, Han Yuqing slipped and fell backwards screaming: "Ah—"
"Miss!" The maids who were in charge of playing the piano and flute screamed and abandoned their instruments, rushing to help Han Yuqing, "Miss, how are you?"
Han Yuqing fell heavily to the ground, with stars in her eyes. She tried her best not to cry: "I... I'm fine."
"Oh, how come you fall down while dancing? Your skills are not good enough!" Li Cui laughed.
Rui Er glared at him angrily: "My lady just slipped for a moment, what qualifications do you have to laugh at my lady? If you have the guts, do one."
How could Li Cui dance? She shut up awkwardly.
"Rui'er." Han Yuqing scolded softly, helped the maid to stand up, and bowed, "Sorry, I'm embarrassed."
"No, no, Miss Han is an excellent dancer."
"We are very envious. Miss Han not only dances well, but also sings well."
"… "
The girls comforted her, but Xia Shanshan remained silent, feeling extremely proud.
Han Yuqing felt so sad that she wanted to cry, but she still maintained her good manners: "Falling during the dance is a mistake..."
"Miss Han, you are too modest. You just fell down accidentally. You can try again." Xia Qianqian took the initiative to say. Although she fell down, she did dance well. If she was expelled for this, it would be unfair for her.
Han Yuqing wanted to do it again, but her feet hurt so much that she couldn't do it anymore. She forced a smile and said, "My song and dance is almost over, so I won't waste your time. Miss Xia, please!"
Xia Qianqian looked at the priest.
The priest said: "Xia Qianqian, let's start!"
"yes."
Xia Qianqian then stood up, walked to the center of the hall, bowed to everyone, and then began.
Gu Changsheng put down the teacup and looked at Xia Qianqian intently, feeling inexplicably nervous.
Xia Qianqian took a small step to the right, slowly bent her legs and raised her hips to the left, while her upper body leaned to the right, bent her elbows and half pushed out, one up and one down, with her palms in the shape of an orchid.
"puff!"
Gu Changsheng spurted.
This was the first move of the dance he drew, but... it was too stiff! Especially since Xia Qianqian was wearing a red coat!
It's an eyesore!
The girls had never seen such an opening dance before, and they all looked at Xia Qianqian with strange eyes. Only Han Yuqing was knowledgeable and blurted out: "Religious dance?"
Xia Qianqian turned around and smiled at her, then she opened her red lips and began to sing: "I wish to be the lotus of the Bodhisattva, cultivating my mind without any distractions, blooming and falling beside you, and being the water lotus of past and present lives..."
"Ahem..." Gu Changsheng choked on his tea again. This girl is so smart, she even composed a song full of Zen!
Xia Qianqian skillfully connected and performed the postures on the dance score, chanting all the time.
This is a modern song. When sung in a low voice, it has the feeling of a Sanskrit song, and the religious priests become solemn instantly.
Han Yuqing's heart sank, and her eyes became extremely complicated. She had underestimated Xia Qianqian.
