ed past, bringing with it the sound of fluttering garments. She let out a soft cry, "Who" Quickly fastening a poisoned dart in her hand, she whirled around, only to be met with surprise. "How could it...Xiao Yu's song subconsciously stroked her flat abdomen and chuckled softly, "It's just a baby in my womb, it's not a big deal."

Xiao Yufu felt she was being mocked. She thought carrying a child was nothing special, yet for herself, it was like reaching the heavens and beyond difficult.

“Our dance moves are a bit difficult. Now that you’re pregnant, can you still do them” Xiao Yufu seemed concerned, but in reality, she was calculating in her heart. So many high-difficulty moves, if they could get rid of the child in Xiao Yu Ge's belly, then it would be even better. She just couldn't stand to see Xiao Yu Ge being so proud and happy.

"It's fine, even though the imperial physician said the fetus was a little unstable, I'm a doctor myself and know my limits." Besides, she didn't even have a child in her belly. Even if she did, a little bouncing around wouldn't be a problem; she wasn't that fragile.

That's good.

Xiao Yu Fu quickly glanced at An Ling beside her. An Ling seemed to understand something, and then, while they were talking, she quietly slipped out.

"The two County Princesses, it's time for you to make your appearance. The Empress sent me to check, are you both ready" At that moment, Rong'er, a palace maid serving the Empress, appeared there.

"We're all ready." Xiao Yufu replied first.

"Then it's settled, this servant will return to report." Rong'er slightly bowed and left.

Xiao Yu Ge was thinking about going on stage immediately, taking a deep breath secretly. Fortunately, this time she was dancing the water sleeve dance, and the costume was relatively conservative. Otherwise, if she wore something more revealing, the Shou Gong Sha on her arms would be exposed. Of course, she still made all-round preparations, pasting a piece of artificial skin on the Shou Gong Sha, which ordinary people couldn't see.

Qian Tingxuan never avoided being close to her in any situation. Their ambiguous manner led everyone to believe they were already intimate, so no one suspected anything.

When Xiao Yuge and Xiao Yu'fu appeared in the main hall, everyone still showed expressions of amazement.

"It's her!" The moment Wu Gang, the young master of the Jinzhou Hou Mansion, saw Xiao Yufu, his eyes widened in disbelief. He never expected that the girl he had been longing for was actually the Princess An Guo!

"Gang'er, what's wrong" Shu Xiu Chang Princess saw her son's expression and was a little puzzled.

"Mother, I saw her! I saw her!" Wu Gang lowered his voice, but couldn't hide his joy.

"Was it the girl you met on the street" Princess Shuxiu followed her son's gaze and frowned slightly. Although she had only been here for two days, she had heard quite a bit about the two sisters, the Protectorate County Princess and the National Security County Princess. Seeing the infatuated look in her son's eyes, she couldn't help but worry.

Although both the capital's beauties are stunningly beautiful, their entanglement with the Crown Prince and the King's son is secretly discussed by everyone in the capital. It seems that the son who has his eyes on Xiao Yufu might only end up with empty joy.

"The capital's double beauties, as always, never disappoint!"

It has to be said, Shen Mei Hua's teaching is still quite good. This water sleeve dance really allowed Xiao Yu Ge and the others to bring out its essence. The beautiful dancing postures, coupled with their stunning appearances, won thunderous applause!

In the final part, the two will use red silk and coordinate with the accompanying dancers to form a character for "壽" (longevity) in an overlapping lotus position. The lower part will be completed by Xiao Yufu, while the upper part will naturally be completed by Xiao Yuge, who has light kung fu skills.

Xiao Yuge originally thought that at this stage, Xiao Yufu would create some kind of surprise, but to her surprise, they cooperated seamlessly and actually did a very good job!

"I wish Your Majesty a long and prosperous life, and may the country be peaceful and its people happy!"

"Hooray!" The moment the big character for "birthday" appeared, everyone clapped and cheered.

"The two county princesses are truly worthy of being the twin jewels of the capital! Their dancing skills are unparalleled in the world!" Everyone praised them.

Just as Xiao Yuge and the others were preparing to take their final bow, the lead dancer at the top suddenly felt a sharp pain in her foot. Her body lost its balance instantly, she let out a scream, and was about to fall from the height. The audience gasped with worry!

Xiao Yu Ge leapt forward, catching the dancer who had stumbled in mid-air with ease. With a graceful spin, she returned to the ground unharmed. It all happened so quickly that everyone only breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the dancer safely back on her feet.

"I didn't expect that not only is the Protectorate County Princess a good dancer, but she's also so skilled in martial arts! The Grand Minister truly has raised a fine daughter!" Everyone showered Xiao Zhan with praise.

Xiao Zhan was a little dazed, and Feng Wuji on the side also looked at Xiao Yuge with a smile in his eyes. In her, he seemed to see the image of Bing'er again. Bing'er used to be just as smart and exceptional as she was. He secretly vowed that no matter what, he would take his daughter back.

Seeing everyone's eyes on Xiao Yuge, Xiao Yufu's hand in her sleeve was already clenched tightly: she had once been the most dazzling existence in the entire capital city, why should Xiao Yuge steal away the glory that rightfully belonged to her, she couldn't bear it!

At this point, the emperor spoke, "Ge'er, your and Fu'er's dancing skills are indeed extraordinary. I heard that at last year's Lotus Festival hosted by the empress, you and Fu'er also astonished everyone with a dance. The empress often mentions it to me, saying how unforgettable it was. Today is my birthday, would you be willing to perform another dance for me"

Xiao Yuge was about to speak when Qian Tingxuan, standing beside her, suddenly stood up: "Your Majesty, Xiao Ge'er is pregnant now. The imperial physician said that the fetal signs are unstable and she should not be overworked."

As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd was shocked. At the same time, it was also confirmed by the Prince's own mouth. It seemed that the matter of the Guardian Princess being pregnant was undoubtedly true.

At this point, the empress chimed in: "Just right, this morning, Miss Minrou said she had a bit of discomfort in her stomach. Thus, Mother Empress instructed the imperial physician to prescribe some herbs for her to take. Perhaps we could also give Ge'er a bowl as well"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Xiao Yuge secretly frowned: Anesthesia Wasn't it an abortion pill

Soon, two maidservants brought up two bowls of black, so-called "pregnancy-preserving" medicine. One bowl was placed before Fang Minrou, who thanked them and drank it down in one gulp. The other bowl was placed before Xiao Yuge. She picked it up, sniffed it lightly, and a barely perceptible smile curled at the corner of her lips. She too drank it down in one gulp.

After setting down the medicine bowl, Xiao Yuge knew that everyone was waiting for her statement: “Today is His Majesty’s birthday, since His Majesty wants to see it, it is our honor with my sister!”

"Little Song!" Qian Tingxuan seemed a little worried. Though his face was obscured by the mask, you could tell from his eyes.

"It's fine." Xiao Yuge smiled at him, then turned to go backstage to change into her dance costume.

In the eyes of others, the two looked just like any loving couple, of course, envy and jealousy were inevitable.red by the mask was marred with hideous black and brown scars from burns. Even after so many years, even though new skin had grown, the thin layer of newly formed skin, pulled taut over the distorted...
