Chapter 223 Magnificent Dance Surpasses the Ancients and Dazzles Everyone Part 3/3
Then Zi You rotated in the air again . She flicked her sleeves out to paint on the screen . After she rotated a few times, everyone saw a lifelike painting of plum blossoms appear . Her actions were done in one movement, like moving clouds and flowing water . She was like a drunk and captivating Chang’e .
A lot of people seemed to be drunk too . They looked at Zi You in infatuation and watched her sleeves dance and the ink slowly dry . The painting was elegant and excuded a faint fragrance, like Zi You . She lightly flicked her long sleeves and the contrast among red, black, and white was strong . Her clothing actually seemed like the rainbow-colored clothing worn by the Eight Immortals . It was part of a beautiful dance .
When the dance was nearing the end, she held a brush dipped in ink . While she recited, she wrote down the poem . “When the middle of winter comes, the flowers are withered . The red plum blossom doesn’t yield and stands tall among the wind and snow . ” She finished writing just as she finished reciting the poem .
A plum blossom painting appeared in front of everyone . The ink branches were strong . The vermilion flowers vividly depicted the plum blossoms’ pride .
The structure of each flower and branches shape was dynamic and fluid . The brushstrokes and ink collaborated seamlessly . The lines were rigid, but soft and fluid . The ink was used exquisitely and cleverly, while the composition was vibrant . The painting was passionate and vivid . The spirit and essence of the ink painting fused brilliantly with the dance .
The poem was also graceful and elegant . The use of the ink was exquisite . The writing was charming and natural, but also very proper .
The palace hall was silent at first . Finally, Xuanwu Emperor started to clap his hands . In an instant, the applause was thunderous and deafeaning .
Xuanwu Emperor was so excited that he actually walked to the middle of the palace hall . He stroked his beard and admired the painting left and right . He finally exclaimed and said, “This…… These plum blossoms look like plum blossoms at first glance, but they actually form the word ‘Longevity,’ right?”
“Yes, Emperor . ” Zi You calmly replied . She looked at the Empress Dowager and bowed deeply and gratefully . “Chen didn’t prepare a gift for the Empress Dowager . This Plum Blossom Longevity painting is dedicated to the Empress Dowager . Chen wishes Empress Dowager happiness as immense as the East Sea and a life as long as Mount Zhongnan!”

If you take a closer look at the plum blossom painting, you would discover that the branches and flowers were scattered and made up the word “Longevity . ” The fusion of words being embedded, yet hidden in the painting was something unheard of .
The Empress Dowager didn’t expect that Zi You actually drew this painting for her . She stood up excitedly and went to the middle of the palace hall with Shangguan LingRan’s help . She looked at it and smiled . She finally pulled Zi You over and said, “Good child . You kept your imperial grandmother in mind . ”
She removed a blood jade bracelet from her wrist . She placed it on Zi You’s jade-like wrist . “En . It looks good . ”
Zi You looked at the blood jade bracelet . It was bright red, as if there was blood flowing in the jade . She knew it wasn’t ordinary . It must have been worn for a long time for it to look like this . It was extremely valuable, so how could Zi You dare to accept it?

She quickly refused, “Empress Dowager, this is too valuable . Chen can’t take something you’re fond of . ”
Yi He (Shangguan LingRan) immediately scolded Zi You lovingly . “Fool! Imperial grandmother dotes on me the most . Of course her good things will be given to my wife . Wife, take it . There’s nothing to be embarrassed about . ”
Zi You’s face turned red . She glared fiercely at Yi He .
Yi He shuddered . He shouted injustice in his heart . Little martial aunt, it’s not my fault!
