Although the question remained, with Su Kui serving as the butterfly effect in this life, would the trajectory of history still be the same?

The young emperor, Yuan Chen gave the order for the feast to start.

Palace maids in light pink dresses hurriedly walked through the illuminated and glazed corridor like butterflies. There was euphonious music, and gorgeously-dressed dancers were dancing gracefully on the stage.

Out of the blue, the rhythm of the soothing music quickened with the beating of drums. A group of beautiful girls scurried onto the stage and started to dance. 

At times they would scatter around while at others, they would gather and slowly break out from a circle. A large water sleeve was then thrown out from the middle, which was supposed to be empty.

The gauze sleeves were soft like water, and they moved along with their owner. The girl was wearing a gauze mask, and she had a pair of beautiful eyes.

The Jing Hong Long Sleeve Dance was performed to perfection by the girl on stage. Emotions of love and hatred were all presented through the movement of her body as well as her affectionate eyes.

How could the crowd not be stunned by such a novel entrance and an amazing dance?

Perhaps, people were even more curious about the identity of this girl who was dancing smoothly on stage.

Among the crowd, only a few people were probably not bewitched by the dance. They included Su Kui, the old madam, Feng Zheng, and Jun Mo, who was sitting in a seat slightly below the young emperor.

In all fairness, Feng Qingqing was indeed a good dancer. She was pretty, intelligent, and ruthless enough, which was why she was able to screw Feng Yanran over so badly.

‘But right now, she isn’t the weak original owner of this body.’

Su Kui smiled. A girl who could sit at the same table as the old madam was surely no ordinary individual. When Su Kui saw that the teacup in front of the old madam had gone empty, she gently picked up a purple clay kettle and filled the teacup for her.

The old madam reacted with a loving smile and patted her hand. “Good girl, Ran’er!”

Su Kui only pursed her lips and smiled without a word.

When others looked at the shy girl with sweet dimples in her cheeks, she seemed extremely well-behaved. Many of the madams and ladies, who had regained their senses were in slight disbelief. ‘Is she still the same Eldest Lady Feng with the infamous reputation in the capital?’

Why did she look like…

She had a better temperament than an imperial princess. Her movements were graceful and charming.

The old madam nodded in satisfaction when she noticed the reactions in front of her. She took a sip of her tea and pointed at the person who was still dancing on the stage. “Ran Er, do you know who she is?” she asked.

Of course!

Su Kui nodded honestly. Ever since she took over the body, she had really been looking forward to seeing the Jing Hong Long Sleeve Dance. It was said to be exceedingly captivating to viewers.

From an outsider’s point of view, Feng Qingqing’s dance was so stunning that she would have no problem coming out on top tonight.

The emperor, who was sitting in the highest position, was completely mesmerized. His eyes unconsciously moved along with the girl in the red dress as she danced on the stage. He barely blinked. 

Su Kui knew that the next scene would be the young emperor developing an interest in Feng Qingqing, Then, their eyes would meet.

Even the most beautiful song had to end eventually. If he did not want to let the lady go, the best chance he had at the moment was to keep her!

So, Emperor Yuan Chen cleared his throat while he tried to appear more solemn. “Which family do you hail from?”

Feng Qingqing looked up into Yuan Chen’s eyes. As if she had been stung, she immediately blushed and lowered her head.

Her actions made Yuan Chen’s heart skip a beat, and he softened his voice. “Are you a preparative concubine too?”
