Pampered Consort of the Fragrant Orchard Chapter 73.1

Chapter 73 . 1 – One Dance Shocks the World (1)

Du Xiao Li calmly looked to Lu Jun Qi . She didn't expect that attending this banquet today, would cause this many
things to happen . However since there was already no retreat, then she'll just have to bravely advance .
She didn't like trouble, but has never feared trouble either!
“Since Miss Ji just now said her sword dance was taught by you, then surely your dance skills must be pretty good .
Then let's compete in dancing!” Lu Jun Qi although was arrogant and willful, she didn't want to fight a one-sided
battle either . She didn't know what kind of talents Du Xiao Li knew . Thinking that dancing was her strong suit, and
Du Xiao Li shouldn't be bad at it either, competing like this should be a little more fair .
“If you don't want to, you can not compete . ” Han Ming Yi tightened his arm, letting her sense his presence .
“No need . ” Du Xiao Li lifted her head and smiled at him, then said to Lu Jun Qi, “Dancing it is then . Since third
princess has put forth a request, then does it mean that Xiao Li can also put forth a request?”
“Of course!” Lu Jun Qi said .
“Thank you third princess . Du Xiao Li's request is very simple . Although I still haven't married Ding Wang, but
since the Emperor has generously bestowed Ding Wang and I this marriage, then Ding Wang is considered mine .
I've never liked other people coveting after my people and things, so if Xiao Li beats princess by chance, then

asking princess to please stop clinging to him in the future . ” Du Xiao Li said .
(T/N: MC staking her claim on her man lmaooooo)
“Ss—”
“This is just too arrogant! What Ding Wang is hers, this is too disgraceful!”

“Such disregard for propriety!”
All the officials and womenfolk present were startled by Du Xiao Li's 'Ding Wang is considered mine' . Since
ancient times, it was alway 'with the husband as the sky', yet unexpectedly she actually said such arrogant words .
When Luo Qi heard Du Xiao Li's words, his hand around the wine cup tightened and suddenly looked towards Du
Xiao Li . This was her acknowledging Han Ming Yi's identity? Or could it be, he's already walked into her heart, just
she's still unaware herself?
Han Ming Yi, who was next to Du Xiao Li, heard her words and his handsome face that usually never smiles for the
first time, let out a smile in front of others, instantly letting the even moonlight lose color .
“En, this prince is Li'er's person, you have to protect me, and not let other women take advantage of me . ”
Lu Jun Qi looked to Du Xiao Li's aggressive appearance . Her view towards Du Xiao Li rather changed a little .
“Alright, it's a deal! Whoever lose won't be allowed to cling to Ding Wang anymore! However, everyone here are all
your Feng Ming's people, who should we pick to be the judge? If not picked right, they'll all lean towards you!”
“Whoever third princess chooses . ” Du Xiao Li spread her arm out and said .
Lu Jun Qi looked around, and then said to Luo Qi, Feng Ru Han Shui Qing Fairy, “Asking for you all to be the
judge this time . ”
“Hahaha, this one has always heard Eastern Li's third princess's dancing is crowned the best in the world . For us to
be able to judge for you today is our honor . ” Feng Ru Han said with a hearty laugh .
“Shui Qing also wants to witness you two's graceful bearing!” Aside from greeting the Emperor, these were Shui

Qing Fairy's first words tonight . That voice sounded like a burst of clear spring, directly flowing into everyone's
hearts .
Du Xiao Li glanced towards Shui Qing Fairy, seeing the other party smile towards her .
“Haha, then we'll be troubling you three to be the judge for this competition!” Han Ming Ze said with a smile, and
then looked towards Du Xiao Li and Lu Jun Qi and asked, “Do you all need to prepare anything?”
“No need, just directly let the musicians play for me . ” What she was wearing today was a dress that could be used to
dance in anyways, so she can just directly start dancing .
“This subject needs to prepare some props and change into dancing clothes . ” Du Xiao Li said .
“If you don't have dancing clothes, you'll be in trouble . ” The Empress said .
“Sister Jiang Zhuo and I are similar is size . When the time comes, I can just change into her clothes . However,
preparing the props need some time, probably need about a quarter or two of an hour . ” The moment Lu Jun Qi
mentioned competing, Du Xiao Li had already made up her mind .
“Then quickly go, after two quarters, we'll begin the competition!” Lu Jun Qi said and then headed towards her own
seat .
Du Xiao Li curtsied towards Han Ming Ze and the others, and as she was turning to leave, Han Ming Yi grabbed her
hand and said, “I will give you a vast sky, letting you spread your wings as much as you like . Whether it'd be wind
or rain, I will all block for you . Your splendor need not be hidden away . Go, let them see just how outstanding the
wangfei I chose is . ”
(T/N: Alright HMY how many romance books did you read in the last 6 years to become this smooth——help I'm
dying here . )
“You just believe in me this much?” Du Xiao Li asked .
“Of course . Your everything, I all believe, especially that confidence leaking from your eyes . I just know you're
capable of it . I'm relying on you to protect after all . ” Han Ming Yi patted Du Xiao Li's hand and continued, “Go
prepare then, just worry about dancing, everything else, I'll take care of . ”
“En, then I'm going . ” Du Xiao Li nodded her head and said .
“Alright, you two, don't be this lovey-dovey in public . Du Xiao Li, quickly go prepare, this grieving one is still
waiting to go back after watching your competition!” The Grand Empress Dowager saw how Du Xiao Li was still
not moving, opened her mouth to push things along .
Du Xiao Li and Han Ming Yi both spoke relatively quietly, but seeing the smile on their faces, everyone all could
guess what they were saying .
“Imperial grandmother, I'm very familiar with the palace, how about I go together with Xiao Li, see if there's
anything I can help with . ” Han Ming Xiang got up and said .
“En, go then . ” The Grand Empress Dowager waved her hand .
Du Xiao Li, Meng Jiang Zhuo, and Han Ming Xiang left the banquet site, preparing to use the resting palace hall for
Du Xiao Li and Meng Jiang Zhuo to change clothes . But, after Du Xiao Li saw the unused dance clothes inside, she
changed her mind, because she saw an even more fitting outfit . After changing, she let Han Ming Xiang help her
prepare some props for dancing

With Han Ming Xiang, this princess, here, those palace maids and eunuchs were all swift and orderly with their
work . In less than two quarters, the props Du Xiao Li needed were prepared .
“Didn't you go change clothes with Jiang Zhuo? Why aren't you wearing that one?” Ji Liu Xia and Fu Ya Lan were
worried, so the two quietly snuck over too . Seeing her not wearing Meng Jiang Zhuo's clothes, they curiously asked .
“En, discovered this dress, so decided to wear this one . ” Du Xiao Li said .
“The things you wanted, are they ready?” Fu Ya Lan asked in concern .
“En, everything's fine now, let's go back . ”
When Du Xiao Li returned, Lu Jun Qi saw her wearing a cerise color dress and found it somewhat strange, but
didn't say anything either . She got up and said, “Since you're here, then let's begin . You first or me first?”
“During that time just now, I suppose princess has already finished preparing, so asking princess to please go first . ”
Du Xiao Li said .
“Hmph, then I won't hold back!” Lu Jun Qi looked to her servant girl, who at the same time, was also her musician .
The two then quickly headed towards the stage .
