“Interesting. It seems her arrogance has some justification.”
Xiao Yu felt that Miss Jin Shuang’er was very clever. Every arrangement she made was ingenious and unexpected, making it impossible to guess what she intended to do. Yet as each step was gradually revealed, it became extraordinarily captivating, keeping everyone’s attention completely hooked.
Moreover, her dance was unlike any he had ever seen before. Traditional court dances usually placed greater emphasis on movements of the hands and feet, often enhanced with flowers, fans, and other props.
But Jin Shuang’er used the suppleness of her body itself to create graceful, flowing movements. Every pose was alluring and enchanting.
As she moved, the beautiful curves of her body swayed with the rhythm.
Her full bosom, her slender waist that seemed small enough to encircle with one hand, her shapely hips—every movement stirred the imagination. Even he felt his throat go dry, his mind drifting as if among the clouds, heat coursing through his entire body.
“The dance and the arrangement are certainly captivating,” Xiao Che commented as he stared at the woman’s serpent-like silhouette behind the gauze curtain. “But it’s a little too frivolous. Just look at how many men are staring at her without blinking. She’s probably not a girl from a respectable family.”
Ordinarily, such a dance would have set his blood racing, but for some reason he now felt deeply uncomfortable instead.
Yang Ruoyao had been inwardly resentful after watching Jin Shuang’er’s performance. Hearing Xiao Che’s criticism made her feel somewhat better.
A mocking smile appeared on her lips.
“She must be a courtesan. But why would Prince Luo bring a courtesan here to support his cause? That’s beneath his status.”
Xiao Yu frowned slightly in displeasure.
“How could Seventeenth Uncle do something inappropriate like that? Besides, although this woman’s dance is bold, she doesn’t possess the affected flirtatiousness of a courtesan. Her movements are elegant, and her body is remarkably agile. Without exceptional skill, it would be impossible to achieve such a mesmerizing effect. Overall, I’d say she is seductive without being vulgar. She captivates the heart without appearing lewd or indecent. It is, in fact, an exquisitely beautiful dance.”
“I didn’t expect you to think so highly of her. A dance like this would be acceptable if performed in the privacy of one’s chambers for her husband. But if one of my concubines dared dance like this in front of other men, I’d kill her.”
“Haha, Third Brother, your concubines don’t have the courage to cuckold you, so you can rest easy. Let’s just enjoy watching the beauty.”
