Imperial Concubine Anna shrugged and said, “So what if it’s a loss? The losses today are not small. Why don’t you worry about yourself? Look at you, you’re covered in blood. Hurry up and deal with it.”
Long Yuning simply rushed towards Feng Qing after she knew that the Imperial Concubine wasn’t listening to her. “Qingqing, at such an important occasion today, don’t you want to show the Imperial Concubine and all the guests your superb violin skills? Previously, I accidentally caused a performance accident at the Hong Meng Theater, and it was all thanks to you that the entire performance was saved that day. Therefore, I want to beg you to do it again.”
“What’s going on? Could it be that Master YLL really knows how to play the violin? Is there anything she doesn’t know?”
“Fragrance and violin are two completely unrelated skills. Master YLL is already a Nine-Star Fragrance Master. Could it be that she’s also a powerful violin master?”
“As the chief ballet dancer of the Sun dance troupe, Miss Long has already used the word ‘beg’. It can be seen how much she yearns and likes the violin played by Master YLL. However, it’s indeed a little disrespectful to let Master YLL perform at this occasion.”
The guests at the scene started discussing as they listened to Long Yuning’s continuous requests. Many people revealed looks of anticipation, wanting to see how good Feng Qing’s violin was.
Meng Xiaodong frowned and asked, “Yuning, why do you want Feng Qing to perform?”
Long Yuning said sincerely to her master, “Teacher, you don’t know. There was an accident during my performance at the Hong Meng Theater last time, and Feng Qing saved the scene with the violin. Therefore, I also want Feng Qing to do it again today. After all, this is Country F’s palace. I’m afraid that foreigners like them will look down on our Xia country, but she seems to care a lot about her identity today, so she doesn’t want to show her talent.”
Speaking up to this point, she deliberately pretended to be aggrieved and depressed. “If we let today’s matter go like this, I reckon that tomorrow morning, the news of our Sun dance troupe messing up in the palace will spread throughout the world. I wonder how those countries that originally didn’t treat our Xia country well will make use of this matter to make a big fuss.”
Upon hearing Long Yuning’s explanation, Meng Xiaodong couldn’t help but nod. She finally understood her beloved disciple’s thoughts. Hence, she looked at her with a satisfied and gratified look. Her disciple was right. This time, only the Sun dance troupe in Xia country was invited to the palace of Country F for a performance. The girl from Xia country sitting beside Imperial Concubine Anna should be the overall champion of this year’s International Fragrance Competition, Feng Qing. She was sitting at the main table today and was the main guest invited by the Imperial Concubine, but such a huge accident had happened. As a member of Xia country, this girl called Feng Qing should put down her status and stand out to save the show.
Meng Xiaodong couldn’t help but frown as she looked at Feng Qing, who was sitting on the chair without moving. Her beloved disciple had already begged her so much, but she still didn’t agree. Moreover, she was young. Wasn’t she putting on too much airs?
At this moment, Feng Qing spoke. “Since Miss Long has repeatedly begged me to help your Sun dance troupe clean up this mess, I’ll help you again on account that we’re both from Xia country.”
With that, she looked at the man beside her and slowly stood up. She walked towards the place where the accident happened. Although it was a mess, she still walked elegantly.
Feng Qing had a smile on her face like the spring wind brushing against the willow. As she walked, she said, “I don’t want to play the violin today. After all, in the next program, a violin master from Country Y will be playing. Since I’m here to save the situation, I should make up for the dance that Miss Long didn’t finish dancing just now.”
Upon hearing this, Long Yuning’s smug face froze. She naturally understood what Feng Qing meant and what she wanted to do. Contrary to her, the guests, including Imperial Concubine Anna, were confused. They didn’t understand what she meant at all. What did she mean by making up for Miss Long’s unfinished dance?
Although there was an accident in the performance just now, Long Yuning was already about to finish dancing the second section. She was only short of finishing the performance with the last small set of dance movements. Many people guessed in their hearts that Feng Qing might very well want to dance the second section that Long Yuning had just danced. It had to be known that dancing was not something that could be learned in a day and night. It required years of practice. As the saying goes, one minute on stage requires ten years of hard work below the stage. It was not something that one could dance just because they felt like it, so everyone doubted that she knew how to dance.
