Chapter 680 Invite Ice Princess Again!
The Xie family in the capital naturally received Madam He's message as well. After inquiring outside, Madam Xie learned that the Duke of Ying's mansion did indeed have a mysterious young lady who was recorded in the Wang family genealogy.
This is a serious matter.
As soon as Mrs. He received the news, she immediately regretted not giving Miss Wang a generous gift when they first met.
When Princess Chang Le revealed Chu Chu's identity, Madam Liu immediately took off her jade bracelet and put it on Wang Chu Chu's wrist. Madam He naturally followed suit and presented a gift.
However, at the time she thought that she was just an adopted daughter, and that in the Duke of England's mansion, she wouldn't be considered very well treated.
Therefore, the gift given at the time was far inferior to Madam Liu's bracelet; it was merely a gold hairpin inlaid with gemstones.
If I had known, I should have sent something more presentable.
Mrs. He was now filled with regret.
However, before Madam He could fully understand what was going on, she heard that the Prince of Changle's mansion had sent someone to invite Madam Bing to come to the mansion for a chat.
This made Mrs. He even more agitated.
That Lady Bing, to put it nicely, is just called Lady Bing, but in reality, she is nothing more than an ordinary concubine.
How could someone of such lowly birth as a dancer possibly have a bright future?
Madam He called the person out and, after asking carefully, understood that it was Princess Chang Le who wanted to choreograph some dances, so she had sent someone to invite her.
After hearing this, Madam He felt a little better.
In the end, she's still just a dancer. What is there to worry about?
After Bingji was invited to the Chang Le Prince's Mansion, she was immediately led to Yijing Garden.
Mu Xin Nuan and Chu Chu were sitting in the pavilion, and from a bungalow not far away, the sound of stringed instruments seemed to be coming from.
"Greetings to the Princess Consort, greetings to Miss Wang."
"Madam Bing, you may rise. Rongyue, please ask Madam Bing to go and take a look. She is an expert in this field, and I believe that she will notice anything amiss in the dance and music. Thank you for your trouble, Madam Bing."
Lady Bing quickly bowed and withdrew.
In fact, she was quite nervous when she came to the Prince of Changle's residence today.
She was originally a gift that the Xie family prepared to present to the prince, but unexpectedly, she ended up serving He Jiajun instead.
To be honest, He Jiajun treated her really well. He had spent at least half of the month staying in her courtyard. For that alone, she felt content.
Now that she has given birth to a son for the He family, and He Jiajun has even made an exception and allowed her to raise the son herself, this favor has truly surprised her.
As a dancer, she had naturally witnessed many struggles within the inner courts of high-ranking families.
Generally speaking, a woman of her status would not be entitled to raise her child on her own, even if she gave birth to one.
Now, not only is the child being raised under her name, but he has also given her the title of Lady Ice and a quiet courtyard. Bingji feels that her life has been truly wonderful.
Among her fellow dancers, how many are as fortunate as she is?
Bingji could see clearly that a woman of her status could only ever be this far. So, she should just obediently serve the master and raise the child. That way, she would have someone to rely on for the rest of her life.
Ice Princess went inside and began watching the dancers gracefully perform, pausing occasionally.
Half an hour later, Ice Princess emerged.
Mu Xin Nuan and Wang Chu Chu remained seated in the pavilion.
"Your Highness, I have seen all of these dances. The rehearsals were a little rough, but there is nothing wrong with them."
Mu Xin Nuan looked at her with a half-smile, "Bing Ji, I invited you here because I saw your talent in dance. I believe you can definitely choreograph these dances even better."
"This servant dares not. This servant does not even possess one-tenth of the Princess's talent, how dare I claim to be blessed with such extraordinary talent?"
At this moment, a little baby was sitting on Mu Xin Nuan's lap; it was Duanmu Zonghua.
"I really don't have the energy right now. Besides, I don't mean to discriminate against you. I just think that since you have a talent for this dance, you should make the most of it. These dances are all to be performed at the girls' school during the Mid-Autumn Festival in August. How about this, I see you're not too busy, so come over every two or three days to see how their rehearsals are going."
Ice Princess was stunned again. Was she supposed to perform at the girls' school?
"The people in the Prince's mansion today are just ordinary musicians and dancers. I want those girls to see and know that every woman has her own way of showing beauty. If one dances for personal pleasure, how can there be any sense of humility?"
Ice Princess was stunned and speechless!
She had always known that the princess in front of her was no ordinary person, but what she had just heard had suddenly enlightened her.
Yes, whether it's for your loved one or for your own enjoyment, what's shameful about dancing?
It's just because I'm always fixated on my identity and deeply trapped in it that I've been unable to let go.
"Alright, it's settled then. You'll go every two days. I'll send someone to the He residence to pick you up then."
"This servant wouldn't dare, this servant will do it myself."
"Alright, I'll send someone to fetch you. If you come by yourself and something happens, things could get complicated."
Bingji suddenly looked up and gazed at Mu Xinnuan with gratitude.
The princess's words were clearly in her favor; she was worried that someone might use this opportunity to do something detrimental to her.
After Bingji left, Wang Chuchu asked with some puzzlement, "Master's wife, although I've always known you're kind and gentle, weren't you a little too lenient with Bingji?"
She knew that Bing Ji was given to the prince as a gift.
Mu Xin Nuan shook her head. "She is also a pitiful person. Fortunately, He Jiajun has treated her well since she entered the He family. Otherwise, this woman would have been ruined. She is a dancer with a lowly background, but such a background is not something she chose."
"In fact, if there really were a choice, which woman would be willing to make such a choice? Chuchu, she is just like you, she has no choice in the matter. It's just that you are luckier than her because you met Aze. But what about her? She met the Xie family, who are full of scheming."
Wang Chuchu thought about everything she had suffered, and now, thinking back to this Ice Princess, she realized that she was indeed a woman who had not had an easy life.
