The other two examiners were also stunning beauties, no older than 40, with delicate faces, hot figures, and elegant demeanor. They sat on either side of Wu Xiqun, dressed in white, tight-fitting leotards… Both were top dancers who had won numerous awards and had served as dance instructors for Wu Xiqun. Even now, they remain unmarried, responsible for training palace maids in various large-scale events.
"Today's match was very simple."
Wu Xiqun personally served as the chief examiner, which was much more efficient than the previous old men; she didn't nag about repeatedly emphasizing the rules.
"Each of you sisters just needs to perform a song and dance, and I will personally score you along with the two teachers."
All eyes turned to Wang Ruoxi.
The calligraphy and painting competitions have made everyone accustomed to watching Wang Ruoxi perform first. After all, she is the only professional top artist among the contestants, and it is basically impossible for her to be defeated. So, it is better to appreciate her performance and get a feel for the competition first.
Wang Ruoxi didn't refuse. She even changed her clothes specially for the singing and dancing competition today. Instead of wearing that gorgeous but cumbersome Hanfu, she changed into a flowing gauze dress, which really made her look like a fairy descending to earth, very elegant.
She not only danced proudly under the gaze of the crowd, but also played and sang a pipa-shaped ancient musical instrument. Her voice was ethereal and otherworldly, giving people the illusion of watching the fairy Chang'e dance and eating celestial fruits at the Peach Banquet in the Heavenly Palace.
What's even more impressive is that Qin Huanyu checked both her intuition and her phone at the same time. She found that Wang Ruoxi's singing and dancing contained no supernatural powers. She truly relied purely on her skills to make people feel as if they were in a fairyland, using her exquisite dance and vocals to cleanse their souls.
"This dance skill seems to be even better than Miss Zhe Yuan's..."
After watching Wang Ruoxi's song and dance performance, Qin Huanyu took a deep breath and murmured to herself.
In terms of sheer brilliance, Miss Zheyuan's Flying Dance is no less impressive than Wang Ruoxi's Rainbow Dance. However, Miss Zheyuan's dance is enhanced by extraordinary power, while Wang Ruoxi's dance relies purely on skill... It's like comparing a paying player and a free-to-play player with the same score; the free-to-play player's skill is definitely superior.
After a round of enthusiastic applause, everyone turned their attention to the examiners, waiting for the princess to announce Wang Ruoxi's score... although everyone had already guessed the result.
Unexpectedly, Wu Xiqun smiled slyly:
"Don't rush to announce Sister Ruoxi's score... I changed the rules today, and the scores will be announced together after everyone has finished their song and dance performances."
Is there any point in doing this?
The candidates for princess consort exchanged glances, all somewhat puzzled as to what tricks His Highness was up to now.
No matter what tricks they come up with, the competition must continue.
Qin Huanyu originally wanted to be the second to appear, but Wu Xiqun's words stirred something in her heart, and she vaguely guessed what was going on. So she didn't rush to perform and gave up the opportunity.
Nangong Yue was slightly surprised that Qin Huanyu did not go up second as planned. After pondering for a few seconds, she decided to wait and see for the time being and did not go up either.
As for Yi Youyou... Yi Youyou spent most of the day glaring angrily at Qin Huanyu, her eyes full of annoyance and resentment, and she had no intention of showing off immediately.
The second contestant was Yuan Tingxue. Having practiced Taoism since childhood, she didn't know much about pop or classical dance, but she could dance with a sword and performed a sword dance with a very sharp and powerful aura.
This sword dance seemed to have some special effects. When Qin Huanyu watched it, she always felt like a seductive enchantress who was about to be cut down by the sword. Several times she almost couldn't help but draw her weapon and fire at Yuan Tingxue in the sword dance.
To be fair, the sword dance was quite good, but Yuan Tingxue made a big mistake... she didn't sing during the sword dance, and this competition was a singing and dancing competition.
"Sister Tingxue's sword dance is so cool!"
Wu Xiqun first lavishly praised the sword dance itself before slightly furrowing her brow:
"Sister Ke Tingxue, why don't you sing?"
"...because I really don't know anything about music, so I can't sing it."
After sheathing her sword, Yuan Tingxue remained silent for a few seconds before smiling bitterly:
"If I force myself to sing, my off-key singing will ruin the artistic conception of the sword dance and make the overall experience worse."
"Oh... What a pity. I actually quite liked Sister Tingxue's sword dance, but unfortunately this is a song and dance competition according to the rules." Wu Xiqun sighed regretfully.
Next, it was time for the third person to appear. Qin Huanyu first looked at Yi Youyou, only to see that Yi Youyou was still glaring at her angrily, showing no intention of making her appearance. Then she looked at Nangong Yue, exchanged a few quick glances, and made her decision.
"Let me do it."
Qin Huanyu left her seat, walked to the center of the side hall, and smiled gently at the three examiners, led by Princess Wu Xiqun:
"Your Highness and the two teachers must have seen my information, so they must know that I am actually completely clueless about singing and dancing... However, I do have some other abilities, and I can use some special methods to perform singing and dancing to please Your Highness, but I need Your Highness's help."
"Need my help?"
Wu Xiqun was clearly taken aback for a moment, then burst into laughter:
"You're not asking me, the examiner, to help you cheat, are you, Sister Yu? But you didn't come to my room last night to ask me to take advantage of you."
"I never expected His Highness to be the examiner last night~~"
Qin Huanyu merely chuckled at the princess's teasing, then said seriously:
"Your Highness misunderstands. I don't want Your Highness to help me cheat. I just want to borrow something from Your Highness... You should still have the clothes you wore when you were an idol, right? Could I borrow one to wear for a while?"
"Huh? Sister Yu, you want to wear my clothes? Could it be..."
Wu Xiqun paused for a moment, then her eyes immediately lit up, showing great interest:
"No problem! Sister Yu, you have such a great figure, my clothes definitely won't fit you, and then... hehehehehe."
The palace was Wu Xiqun's home, so most of her clothes were naturally at home. It wouldn't even take 10 minutes for a palace maid to fetch a set of idol clothes that she had worn.
"I'm sorry, Sister Yu."
When Wu Xiqun personally handed her idol's outfit to Qin Huanyu, she even winked:
"I had these clothes washed immediately after I wore them, so none of them have a 'original' smell. Will Sister Yu be a little disappointed?"
"Uh... Your Highness is joking."
Qin Huanyu originally wanted to make a few more lighthearted remarks, but suddenly felt Yi Youyou's already angry gaze behind her become even more piercing, so she quickly changed her mind.
After quickly changing into Wu Xiqun's pink dress and white stockings idol outfit in an empty room next to the side hall, Qin Huanyu began her song and dance performance.
Qin Huanyu herself doesn't know how to sing or dance, but she can use her mathematical magic eye to record every detail of other people's singing and dancing movements. She can also perfectly control her own body, not only making the exact same movements as the performers, but also controlling her vocal cords to produce sounds with the same pitch... The only thing that can't be copied is her naturally different timbre.
Qin Huanyu used this method; she wore Wu Xiqun's idol costume and recreated Wu Xiqun's most popular song and dance.
If you simply replicate the song and dance, you're unlikely to get a high score. At best, you'd get a 6, like replicating Wang Ruoxi's calligraphy in a calligraphy competition.
This time was different. Although Qin Huanyu was still a replica, she couldn't write the same words with the same pen and the same movements. Her figure and singing voice were different from Wu Xiqun's, so even if she performed the same songs and dances, they would have a different flavor.
As an idol, Wu Xiqun embodies a pure and sweet style, and her singing and dancing reflect this, full of youthful energy and girlish joy.
As for Qin Huanyu... regardless of her inner thoughts, her appearance and temperament were naturally alluring, and she followed a hot and sexy route.
Now, Qin Huanyu uses her hot and sexy body and voice, dressed in innocent and sweet idol outfits, to perform cheerful and lively songs and dances... creating a wonderful contrasting beauty.
It's like a succubus dressed as a nun, preaching to believers in a church with a soul-stirring voice... It's weird, but amazing!
Wu Xiqun herself had her eyes shining the whole time, and it was unclear what she was thinking. The other two beautiful examiners also looked surprised, seemingly not expecting Qin Huanyu's move to have such an effect.
"Sister Yu, do you want to debut as an idol?"
Almost as soon as Qin Huanyu finished her performance, Wu Xiqun couldn't wait to speak:
"Although you can't sing or dance at all, you can actually sing and dance all the time, right? I can give you my original stage name. Just create a persona based on that feeling you just described, and you'll absolutely captivate all the audience!"
"This... let's just forget it."
Qin Huanyu shook her head without hesitation:
"I have absolutely no interest in being an idol, and besides..."
As she spoke, she puffed out her chest slightly, and with a humble expression said something that was anything but humble:
"Even if I don't perform songs and dances as an idol, I can still make people swoon."
"That's true... Sister Yu, you were originally the number one policewoman in our Holy Zhou Kingdom, with a huge number of fans who are infatuated with you purely because of your looks."
It's not surprising that Wu Xiqun would refuse to become Qin Huanyu's idol:
"It's a pity. If my idol hadn't retired, I would definitely have dragged you, Sister Yu, to perform on stage with me a few times."
“If it’s a performance with Your Highness, I would naturally be happy to oblige.”
Qin Huanyu smiled and slowly retreated to her seat.
The game continues.
Now only Yi Youyou and Nangong Yue haven't performed their song and dance yet.
Neither of them seemed to have any intention of making a move. They just sat there looking at each other, but Yi Youyou's face was getting redder and redder, while Nangong Yue had a knowing smile on her face.
"...You go first, Bitch Yue."
In the end, Yi Youyou reluctantly surrendered:
"I need a little more time to prepare."
After saying that, she glared at Qin Huanyu again, her cheeks puffed out, as if she wanted to pounce on her and take a bite.
"Alright, since you're not feeling well, Youyou, then rest a little longer."
Nangong Yue was quite straightforward, but the four words "feeling unwell" were spoken with a deeper meaning, making Yi Youyou's face turn even redder and her eyes even angrier.
Then the annoyance quickly turned into surprise.
Because Nangong Yue's first action after starting her performance was to take off her clothes.
She first kicked off her two high heels, then turned them into two drones that hovered in mid-air in the side hall. One drone emitted colorful lights like those in a bar or nightclub, while the other played upbeat music.
Then Nangong Yue took off her jacket and threw it aside, and also unbuttoned most of the buttons on her white shirt, tying the bottom hem together to expose her navel.
Then she rolled up her pencil skirt a little, so that the skirt wouldn't restrict her movements, while also showing off almost all of her long, beautiful legs encased in sheer stockings.
That wasn't all. Nangong Yue then tore several holes in her pantyhose, making her look even wilder and more decadent... almost unrecognizable from her original female officer persona.
Before the viewers could even recover from this unexpected move, Nangong Yue began to dance with her hot body in very energetic movements, while making erotic lyrics that sounded like heavy breathing.
Without a doubt, this was a striptease and erotic music, something that could only be seen in various nighttime entertainment venues under normal circumstances, and would never appear in the palace.
But Nangong Yue performed it right there in the palace, and she did it very well. She did those dance moves that looked provocative without any shyness, and her skills were superb. Whether she was twisting her waist or shaking her hips, she did it all smoothly and effortlessly.
The other three contestants besides Qin Huanyu were all surprised, and the two beautiful female examiners' eyes flashed with anger.
But Princess Wu Xiqun, the true protagonist, watched with shining eyes, completely engrossed. Even the Empress showed a look of reminiscence on her face, without the slightest hint of annoyance.
Papapapapa
"Sister Yue is amazing! Hehehe~~"
After Nangong Yue's glamorous song and dance ended, Wu Xiqun immediately clapped and praised loudly, causing the other two beautiful examiners, who were originally about to say something, to distort their expressions. They then looked at each other and finally fell into a helpless silence.
Qin Huanyu, who had noticed this detail, was delighted once again, and exchanged a subtle glance with Nangong Yue:
'You bet right, this hand is in the bag.'
The competition continued, and now it was finally Yi Youyou's turn.
Yi Youyou's face was very pale. She seemed very reluctant to perform the song and dance, but after hesitating for more than 20 seconds, she did not choose to give up directly. Instead, she gritted her teeth and walked to the center of the side hall, where she began her song and dance performance to the sound of musical instruments.
It's clear that Yi Youyou has also trained in singing and dancing. She's definitely not as good as Wang Ruoxi, and she's slightly worse than Nangong Yue, but she's at least at the level of a popular online female anchor.
But she clearly underperformed today. Not only did she frequently make mistakes in her dance moves, but she also sang off-key several times... By the end of the song and dance, she was covered in sweat.
"Hmm... Sister Youyou, you've clearly underperformed. Are you feeling unwell?"
After watching Yi Youyou's song and dance, Wu Xiqun seemed very concerned, but her eyes were full of teasing smiles:
"Should we have Dr. Linglan take a look at you? Prescribe some medicine to help you recover?"
"...Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness, but it's not necessary. I'm fine and just need a day of rest."
Yi Youyou answered reluctantly, and then glared at Qin Huanyu again.
"Haha... Alright then, Sister Youyou, you should rest well today... Don't worry, there won't be any more matches that require physical exertion today."
Wu Xiqun smiled and glanced at Qin Huanyu. Her once innocent eyes were now full of charm, and even carried a hint of eager provocation.
Qin Huanyu chose to play dead, ignoring all the stares coming from around her.
With that, the song and dance performances of all five contestants have concluded, and it's time to give scores.
Just as Qin Huanyu and Nangong Yue had predicted, Wu Xiqun didn't consult the other two examiners at all. She simply pondered for a while, resting her chin on her hand, before announcing the score.
Wang Ruoxi 9 points, Nangong Yue 9 points, Qin Huanyu 8 points, Yuan Tingxue 5 points, Yi Youyou 5 points.
"why?"
Upon seeing this result, Wang Ruoxi immediately frowned and stood up, clearly unconvinced.
"Does Your Highness have any dissatisfaction with my singing and dancing?"
Her anger was genuine; she even seemed to feel insulted.
For someone like her who pursues refined dance art, it is absolutely unacceptable that her singing and dancing achievements are on par with those of nightclub-style striptease and erotic music.
"I'm sorry, Sister Ruoxi."
But Wu Xiqun had clearly anticipated this. She first stuck out her tongue at Wang Ruoxi, using her cuteness to slightly calm Wang Ruoxi's anger, before seriously explaining:
