The Western Region dance skirt is the Dunhuang style that people usually think of.
Among them, exposed shoulders, navels, and slits are common practices.
In particular, this dress was designed by Wen Yuan based on her personal modern aesthetic and after consulting local embroiderers about their understanding of the Western Regions.
Even though it was piled with various jewels and precious fabrics, it could not change the prejudice of the conservative and pedantic Qing Dynasty women towards this dress.
Bold, erotic, and even a little... obscene.
The moment An Lingrong saw the dress, her face turned red and then white, and then white and then red.
"Come, help Lady An change her clothes."
Longsha clapped his hands, and Lanyue and Baiduan, the second-class maids, came forward, while Longsha moved to the door.
"Girl, stop."
Having said that, he closed the palace door and stopped Baojuan outside.
"Hey! Aunt! Our young lady..." Baojuan, who was rushing to get in, was almost hit in the face by the door. She stood outside, feeling anxious and a little jumpy.
"You can't just go into the Madam's dressing room whenever you want."
Longsha just gave a faint warning through the door, and Mo Yi, who had been following them, took Mo Jia and Mo Ding to "invite" Baojuan down.
There is a special room in Chuxiu Palace, which is responsible for receiving these uninvited guests.
Today, Baojuan is the first guest there, and Mo Yi is getting a little excited.
An Lingrong naturally heard the noise at the palace gate, and she became even more panicked.
The tortures that happened to Noble Lady Fucha, Noble Lady Hui, and even Concubine Wan at the hands of Nian Shilan seemed to be still vivid in her mind. An Lingrong was both envious and extremely afraid of Concubine Yi, whose position had risen to the sky since she entered the palace.
Can anyone save her...
With the help of the palace maids, An Lingrong, who was trembling like a quail, changed her clothes.
Longsha took the needle and thread and walked to An Lingrong, pinching the corners of her clothes and exclaiming,
"Your Excellency is indeed slender. Your chest and waist need a few more stitches."
Hearing this, An Lingrong closed her eyes in horror.
But... as expected, the stinging sensation of the silver needle piercing the skin did not occur.
All I felt was the feeling of my clothes tightening on my flesh.
Noticing An Lingrong's breath holding, stomach tightening, and body stiffness, Long Sha seemed to be completely oblivious to An Lingrong's fear and just spoke to her as if it was a routine matter, without even a rise or fall in his tone,
"Does your Excellency feel a little tight?"
“This dance skirt must be fitted and not loose, otherwise when you dance, you will be naked, or even half-dressed, which will only make you look ridiculous.
It’s best if you can press the skin and put half a finger in it like you are doing now.”
Listening to Long Sha's explanation, which was for her own good, An Lingrong pursed her lips, looked at Long Sha, and nodded slightly.
"Thank you for your advice, Auntie..."
Longsha was somewhat surprised by An Lingrong's thanks, but when she finished stitching and looked up, she found that An Lingrong had already unconsciously lowered her eyes and didn't even look at her.
Your Majesty is truly able to foresee things and has a very accurate understanding of people.
Thinking of this, Longsha smiled and said, "Mr. An, you are too polite."
Changing the size of clothes is not a big deal for Longsha.
Soon, she circled around An Lingrong, looked her over carefully, and nodded with satisfaction.
"This is the queen's dance dress. It has never been worn. Today I am giving it to Lady An."
"Thank you, Empress Yifei for the reward."
"Okay, stop moving, your hair will get messed up."
As Longsha was speaking, Lanyue and Baiduan also pulled An Lingrong to sit in front of the dressing table.
Then, I listened to her continue preaching.
“The dancer’s hair accessories are also very important.
It does not need to be complicated or exquisite, but it must be the finishing touch.
I heard that Lady An has a slender figure, the most ethereal, and like a swimming dragon, so this headdress cannot be a drag.
It wants to float with you.
Depending on the dance music, you can choose tassels, wear thin hairpins and jewelry, or keep it simple with just one gem.
Although velvet flowers are beautiful and vivid, they are cheap and ultimately inferior. They unconsciously lower their status, suggesting to the audience that you are just like that toy, just for people's entertainment.
When a noble person dances, every frown and gesture is very particular. A little more would be flattering, and a little less would be boring.
The bangs will make the lady look like a lotus in clear water, but it will also make her look a little more gloomy and timid.
Fold up these two sides and clamp them in the middle..."
As he spoke, Longsha took out colorful hairpins from his jewelry box and began to dress up An Lingrong.
As An Lingrong listened to Long Sha's explanation, she couldn't help but recall the various hints and "teachings" the Queen had given her in the past, and her eyes narrowed unconsciously.
By the time she came to her senses, her makeup had already been applied.
"That's all right."
When standing in front of the floor-length mirror, An Lingrong's mind was a little confused.
Mirror, she had heard of it.
This silver-white, rare foreign item that can truly and completely reflect one's face, even if it is only the size of a palm, can be sold for at least forty or fifty taels of silver.
However, the one in Concubine Yi's dressing room was taller and much wider than that of ordinary people.
After being briefly shocked by the financial resources, An Lingrong finally saw herself clearly in the mirror.
She never knew that she could be as beautiful as a person in a painting.
What made An Lingrong even more unbelievable was that she suddenly had a sense of nobility.
This made her straighten her back unconsciously, raise her chin slightly, and stare forward with bright eyes.
Look, I can too...
But, after just a moment, she instinctively lowered her eyelids again, straightened her body, and looked at the dancing shoes inlaid with unknown rubies and the crystals hanging from the cuffs of her dress in the mirror with her peripheral vision.
She suddenly felt like a thief.
Wearing other people's gorgeous clothes, using borrowed nobility, and feeling complacent in front of the mirror.
Expected inferiority complex.
However, An Lingrong could not ignore the ambitions that were rising in her heart.
Although what Aunt Longsha said to her seemed unintentional, it must have been instructed by Concubine Yi.
Let’s not talk about Concubine Yi’s purpose for now, but... dressing up as she said, even if she was treated as a dancing prostitute, An Lingrong felt an indescribable sense of pride in her heart.
It’s hard to describe, but it’s just different from before.
"Mrs. An, the queen has been waiting for you in the main hall for a long time."
main hall……?
Before An Lingrong had time to think, Longsha brought her from the side hall to the main hall without any obstruction.
This was the first thing Wen Yuan did after completely taking control of Chuxiu Palace.
The main hall of Chuxiu Palace and the three side halls on the west side were connected.
A route was designed that would allow one to walk through the four palaces without having to pass through doorways or go out.
An Lingrong was the second guest on this road.
In just a moment, An Lingrong, after changing her clothes, stood in front of Concubine Yi.
There was clearly no barrier between the two of them, but An Lingrong suddenly felt a sense of fear that she was being scrutinized.
The most memorable interaction between her and Concubine Yi was the scene when she knelt on the ground and cried bitterly with her maids when she met the Queen that day.
Indeed, who in this palace is truly innocent and harmless?
Moreover, how could someone who could come up with such a philosophy of dressing be just a superficial woman who "treats people with her looks" as people say when paying respects?
Imperceptibly, during the time of changing clothes and putting on makeup, An Lingrong's impression of Concubine Yi changed drastically.
