Allure of a Country Maiden-Chapter 722 - 720

If the first performance was a fairy descending to earth, then the second performance was a dance of flower fairies amidst mortal beings.

Eighteen youthful, beautiful girls, like the lively and dreamy elves, wearing dress skirts designed in different flower shapes, danced in the air: lively, elegant, and full of fairy spirit.

The dances, revamped by Jing Xiao’er, integrated some elegant moves from ballet, peacock dance, and folk dance, were simply stunning.

Pink petals kept falling in the sky.

Through the use of objects like steel wire, steel hoop, and thousands of autumn items, the flower fairies gracefully and smoothly completed one after another high-difficulty dance moves in mid-air, accompanied by tigers, lions, giraffes, zebras, sika deer, elephants, etc., which were drawn in by the joyful scenery from the forest.

The girls’ happiness spread to the animals, which followed the rhythm of the music, kicking, running, jumping, and roaring. Under the candlelight, in the mist, a joyful and harmonious atmosphere was created, as though they were having an animal carnival party.

Over a hundred carnivorous and herbivorous animals performed happily, bringing the audience into a stunning, beautiful, romantic, joyous, and interesting fairyland park.

"My, it’s so beautiful! Am I dreaming? How can such a harmonious scene possibly exist?"

The Fifth Princess pinched Fu Ranhui’s arm hard.

"Ouch! What are you doing, Fifth Cousin?" Fu Ranhui rubbed her arm.

"Is it a dream?"

Listening to this, Fu Ranhui laughed again: "No! Xiao’er is too awesome!"

The following were some hilarious performances by animals and performers, like monkeys cycling, tigers jumping through hoops, black bears playing parallel bars, dogs jumping ropes, etc.,

The clumsy moves by the animals and the exaggerated expressions from the performers, along with the unique costumes and weird makeup, had the audience bursting into laughter!

There were also some thrilling and exciting adventure performances that kept the audience’s hearts racing, with screams erupting one after another.

The cheering and clapping from the audience kept alternating, boiling the audience’s enthusiasm to its peak.

The performances even had the Empress Dowager grasping at her heart. After the performers completed high-difficulty, high-skilled dangerous moves, she could not resist patting her chest with a sigh of relief: so dangerous, nearly scared her to death.

Many people said that the performances were worth several hundred coins, some seats cost only 100 coins for such an amazing performance!

The whole circus lasted for one hour, and during the performance, the roaring cheers, warm applause, and screams almost blew the roof off!

Some people were even planning to come again tomorrow night, especially some audiences who sat at the back or weren’t facing the stage. They didn’t see it clearly, so they were thinking of coming again, spending a bit more for the best seats.

By the time the performance ended, it was already night. The Empress Dowager, being of old age, would have been asleep at this time, but tonight she was unusually excited, discussing the circus performance enthusiastically with the Fifth Princess and the eldest princess.

A man was preparing to take his son home.

The boy clung to the back of his seat tightly: "I don’t want to leave, I want to watch more! It’s too good!"

The boy’s father responded patiently, "It’s already over, there’s no more! Let go, we should head home!"

"No, you’re lying to me, in a moment when they pull the cloth open, the circus will start again!"

"Good boy, listen, it’s finished! Didn’t you see everyone leaving? Let’s go! If you love to watch, Dad will bring you to watch again when we have time!"

The boy heard this and finally let go of the seat. He allowed his father to pick him up: "You better keep your promise! I want to watch tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, and the day after that too. I want to watch it every day..."

The boy’s father: "..."

Do you really think this zoo is owned by your father? And you want to watch it every day!

The emperor and others happened to pass by and smiled at the conversation of the two.

To avoid unnecessary trouble that the night might bring, the emperor and Empress Dowager would naturally not stay outside the palace overnight.

On the way back to the palace, the Empress Dowager was so excited that she talked all the way, expressing her lingering feelings.

"The circus was fantastic, but the lights were dim. I don’t have as good vision as you young folks. I would still like to see it again during the day! By the way, how about inviting the circus troupe to perform in the palace for your father’s birthday?"

The Empress Dowager said this to the Fifth Princess, who she sat with.

"Your Majesty might be disappointed. I assume it’s precisely because of the dim light and the music rendering that created the dreamy fairyland effect. Also, setting up such a scenery and designing the circus venue wouldn’t be an easy task. Hence, performing this circus in the palace might be impossible."

"There are still half a year till your father’s birthday. Can’t we just build a stage in the palace? But I can’t go out often to see."

"Your Majesty, we have already seen these circus performances, and the officials have seen them too. Building a special stage for the circus that we have already seen is too wasteful, I don’t think father would agree."

"That makes sense." The Empress Dowager knew it was impossible and put down this idea.

"By the way, it doesn’t seem that Ling’er went to see the circus."

"I don’t know too, she probably has returned home!" The Fifth Princess only thought of her after hearing this. But she didn’t go out in the afternoon, so she wasn’t aware of it.

The Empress Dowager got excited for a whole day and at this moment, when she calmed down, a strong wave of drowsiness hit her, she didn’t think much, nodded her head and fell asleep.

Princess Ling’er’s hand was beaten to fracture, and her tendons were injured. Even after the wound healed, it wouldn’t be too flexible.

She knew she was in the wrong, so she didn’t dare to make it public before the Empress Dowager, after all, it was the Sixth Prince who hit her.

But she put the blame on Xiao’er instead, her mind filled with a strong bitterness and hatred!

It was because of this vixen, Shen Xiao’er, that the Sixth Prince hit her hand.

One day, she would make him shatter this cheap woman’s bones for herself.

"Someone, help me find a piglet of two or three months old, and send it to the Sixth Prince’s wife tomorrow morning! Say that this is to prevent her from cheating and using a pig that has been trained to herd sheep. The bet in ten days must use the pig that I send."

The next day, Xiao’er received a pink piglet. After hearing the message relayed by the gatekeeper, she raised her eyebrows without saying a word.

Someone was so bold to remember someone that they should not. This left Xiao’er admiring her courage. Was Princess Ling’er a natural masochist? She wasn’t even afraid of getting beaten!

"Someone, take this piglet, wash it clean, and make it look delightful. I am going to take it for training later!"

A maid quickly came forward and took the piglet away.
