I was dressed in a red dress with a colorful headpiece.
Entering the palace.
When those palace concubines saw me, their eyes revealed a trace of amazement. Even Ye Li Yuan's eyes flashed with amazement when he saw me.
There were only five of us.
Those who are able to be chosen all have some skills, however, these young mistresses are of no threat to me.
There were three girls in front, some singing, some playing the zither, some drawing.
The concubines expressed their good intentions towards the girls.
He even rewarded her with a lot of jewelry.
When it was my turn, I saluted.
Then the musicians began to play.
The music was chosen by me, and it was played by the song that Qing Jue used to sing for me.
My dance music is the Golden Lotus Dance, once, this dance music can be counted as my own creation. Because, I am a dance based on a story.
There is a woman, called Qu Niang, she only fell in love with one person, only for that one person dance.
Although the man she loved didn't love her, he only held admiration towards her.
However, Qu Niang still loved that man without any regrets.
That man's country was destroyed. Another extremely powerful man had built a golden lotus throne for Qi Niang. It was a lotus flower shaped stage made of pure gold. The petals were vivid and lifelike. Especially under the sunlight, they emitted a beautiful glow.
The lotus stem was supported by a bronze pillar.
That day, the powerful man made Qu Niang dance, and Qu Niang, dressed in a gauze gown, stood on a tall pillar.
After a long silence, the dance finally began.
Her movements were light and graceful, as if she was a fairy that had fallen from the sky and landed in a flower bush.
The elves ran wantonly among the flowers.
It was like a poem or a painting, causing one to be intoxicated with her unique dancing style.
One dance, Qingcheng, then another one that could topple nations.
She was like an epiphyllum flower, blooming with unparalleled brilliance in an instant. Then, he jumped into the lotus pond.
There is poetry cloud: a crescent moon on the lotus flowers, a graceful dance scattered with light. The new design of the late monarch was enough to haunt the world's daughter.
Another poetry cloud: the layer of white between the red and red, the river light in the corner of the eaves a beautiful song. It was a rare occurrence for Gabriella to have such a beautiful dance.
I danced and thought about Qu Niang's story.
Unknowingly, also merged into it, as if I was Qu Niang, I was dancing for the man I love.
After I finished dancing.
The empress was the first to clap her hands with a smile. "What a beauty. What a beautiful dance."
The Concubine Xian, who sat next to the empress, chimed in, "Lord Zhao's Dance of the World! Actually, Prince Yuan's zither is also the best in the world! "
After saying that, she gives me an ambiguous smile.
I smiled shyly before bowing and replying, "This subject thanks the two esteemed ladies for their praises."
At this moment, Imperial Concubine Su suddenly opened her mouth and said, "It should be Miss Zhou's turn to perform. But where is she?"
Some of them whispered something to each other.
The few emperors sitting on the platform were all silent.
And I, too, withdrew, quietly waiting, waiting for the final result.
As time passed, Zhou Zhiruo did not show up.
The surrounding people were already growing impatient from waiting. At this moment, the eunuch announced, "Zhou Zhiruo, give up on this round. Lin Zhaojun will obtain victory in this Consort Selection Competition."
As the eunuch's voice fell, my heart finally sank into my stomach.
I finally got my wishful thinking and got the title of consort.
Before I left, Ye Li walked in front of me. His face was gloomy and his gaze was like a knife, wanting to cut me into pieces!
He said coldly, "If anything happens to Zhiruo, I will definitely not let you off!"
I met his gaze. "My lord, what do you mean by this?"
He sneered, "Don't you know what I mean? Lin Zhaojun! "Stop pretending to be harmless in front of me!"
With that, he flicked his sleeves and left!
I sat in the sedan chair and went home. When the palanquin stopped in front of the prince's mansion, I lifted the palanquin curtain. The first thing I saw was blue steel.
Normally, he was wearing blue clothes.
I'm actually wearing a red dress and a devilish face, which makes my heart race uncontrollably.
He looked at me with a pampered smile. "Ah Jun, you are so beautiful today."
I chuckled. "Of course, it's hard to give up such a natural beauty."
He stood there.
I circled him a few times, feeling that something was different today. But I can't tell you what's different.
I asked, "Why are you wearing red today?"
He smiled without saying a word.
At this time, Prince Rong An walked up to us and gave him a meaningful look. Then, he said in a profound tone, "Not bad, it's quite beautiful. This set of clothes suits you very well. "
Qing Jue smiled, "Many thanks to your highness for your praise."
I also think that Qing Jue looked really good in his red clothes. Compared to his elegant and indifferent self from before, he seemed more bewitching.
I smiled and replied, "Ah Qing, from now on, you should always dress like this."
He said, "You can only wear it once in your life."
I smiled foolishly. Then, I said to Prince Rong An, "Father, I have something to talk to you about."
"Then let's go to the study together."
"Mm. Alright."
When we arrived at the study room, I asked worriedly, "Father, how is Zhou Zhiruo?"
Prince Rong An gestured for me to sit down and said, "This matter is rather strange. Last night, I sent people to capture Zhou Zhiruo, but she wasn't in the mansion at all."
I was surprised. "She's not in the mansion. That... Then she did not come to participate in the selection today! "
Prince Rong An nodded his head, "Yes, this is indeed odd." However, now that you have become the consort of Ye Li Yuan, you are truly a cause for celebration. "
I giggled. "That's right! I finally got my wish."
Not long after, the imperial edict was passed down.
I am definitely going to become the princess of Ye Li. After chasing for three years, it seemed like a long time ago.
From that day on, my ears were filled with congratulations.
Especially my sisters and sisters, they always say all sorts of sour words in front of me.
I was fifteen years old at last.
The hot summer passed, and I finally welcomed the cool autumn. I also waited for my fifteenth birthday present.
I am going to be married to Ye Li Yuan after I'm old enough to be married.
However, what I didn't expect was that a few days before our wedding, news of Ye Li Yuan's death arrived. This news was like a thunderbolt from a clear sky, shocking me to the point where my heart was trembling in fear.
The Emperor has decreed that I be buried with him.
However, I don't know what the First Prince said. In the end, he asked me to guard Ye Li's spirit for three years before going to his grave to accompany him in death.
I agreed.
To my surprise, everyone was praising me, from the noble ladies to the commoners.
So I went from being a notorious bad woman to being a good woman with a strong heart.
