Chapter 1064 The Acrobatics Troupe (Part Two)
After everyone sat down, Luo Qingyan weed the arrival of Emperor Ning and Lady Jin. Then he
ordered to bring the performance troupe into the pce.
The first ones to enter the hall were several young women, all of whom were good-looking. Although
they were not perfect, they were very beautiful. After they entered the hall, a pink brocade handkerchief
escaped from the sleeve of one of the women. She unfolded the handkerchief and showed the front
and back side of the handkerchief to the crowd. Then she pulled another handkerchief from it. The
women around were surprised and opened their mouths, their eyes full of curiosity. They kept pulling
the handkerchief in their hands. The handkerchief was getting longer and longer, and it was several
meters long in the end. Then that woman stuffed the long brocade handkerchief into her hand and
opened it again. There was only one handkerchief left.
The woman put her hand under the brocade handkerchief and poked it upward. A Golden Phoenix
flower grew on the handkerchief. The Golden Phoenix flower was originally just a bud, but gradually
bloomed, and then it slowly withered. The petals fell down bit by bit, but it seemed that they would
never stop falling. The ground was covered with ayer of petals. The woman threw the handkerchief
into the air, and petal rain began to fall, but the handkerchief disappeared in everyone''s eyes. After the
rain of petals fell, the woman slightly opened her hand and grasped it tightly in the air. When she
opened her hand again, the brocade handkerchief was seen there.
All the people in the hall were staring at her. They apuded, and even Shu Jin couldn''t help but show
surprise and whispered to Emperor Ning.
"It''s really good. It''s beautiful, but also wonderful. It''s really different from the acrobatics I''ve seen
before," said Yun Shang. She smiled and looked at Luo Qingyan.
Luo Qingyan nodded slightly, "I know you women like this kind of tender performances."
The women performers bowed and left. Then three men pushed a big drum in. Yun Shang narrowed
her eyes and saw the three men knocking on the drum with drumsticks. The drumbeats were loud and
strong. Then, three of them slowlyy down on the ground, brandishing the drumsticks in their hands
with their backs against the drum. Suddenly, the surface of the drum broke through, and with a "bang",
a person came out.
Yun Shang tightened her grip on the ss, and even Qian Liu and Qian Zhuo behind her became
vignt.
The man crawled out of the drum. The original three men stood up, their eyes wide open, as if
regretting the broken drum. They pointed at the man who just came out, and their faces were full of
anger. The man who came out of the drum smiled and bent over the drum. A momentter, he stood
up, and the broken surface of the drum suddenly became intact.
Yun Shang loosened her grip a little.
The man who came out of the drum jumped on the drum for a while, but suddenly he fell down again.
However, after his falling, the surface of the drum was not damaged at all.
When the three men saw this, one of them shouted, "He broke our drum. Bring me the sword."
The previous women came up with many swords in their hands. Yun Shang''s eyes fell on the swords.
Luo Qingyan turned around and smiled at Yun Shang tofort her. Yun Shang nodded with a smile
and then looked back to the hall.
The three men each held a sword and stabbed it into the drum. The hall was immediately filled with
exmations and gasps. Then the three of them took out their swords from the woman''s arms again
and stabbed them into the drum several times in a row. There were more than 10 swords densely
packed onto the surface of the drum.
"Will someone be killed?" Shu Jin covered her mouth and asked softly.
Luo Qingyan hurriedly said, "Mother, go on and you''ll know."
It was the first time that Yun Shang heard Luo Qingyan call Lady Jin Mother. She was surprised, but
more strangely, she couldn''t help butugh.
Shu Jin was also a little surprised. She looked up at the hall again.
The men in the hall began to pull out all the swords inserted into the drum, and then tore the surface of
the drum apart. When they looked down, they saw the man who had entered the drum suddenly stand
up again. The other performers pretended to be panic and fell to the ground.
The crowd didn''t understand the mystery, so they were naturally shocked and apuded.
Later, the troupe performed many other acrobatics that no one had heard of, causing cheers and
exmations in the hall, and even the servants to pay attention to them.
The whole night was quiet. After the sideshow, Luo Qingyan called the head of the troupe toe over
to receive rewards. To Yun Shang''s surprise, the head of the troupe was one of the young women who
appeared at the beginning of the performance.
"This youngdy is really worthy of being a female hero," Yun Shangmented with a smile.
The woman repeatedly expressed her gratitude. Seeing this, Shu Jin turned around and said to Yun
Shang, "Although the trick of stabbing people in the drum is very exciting, it is a little breathtaking.
Actually, I''m curious about how the flower petal rain came out. I wonder if the girl can tell me the secret.
"
The woman looked a little embarrassed, and Yun Shang couldn''t helpughing. "Mother, you are
embarrassing her. This is her ability to make money, and the ministers present are their important
customers. How can she tell you her the secret in front of the guests? If you are told of the secret, there
will be no surprise."
Hearing this, the woman smiled and bowed. "If this nobledy wants to know, it''s not impossible to say
it. It''s just that I really can''t tell her all in front of everyone."
"That''s easy. Let''s go to the side hall," Luo Qingyan smiled and said to Shu Jin and Emperor Ning,
"Father, Mother, let''s go to the side hall."
Then they left the main hall and went to the side hall together.
"While the girls were performing, Qingyan told me that they were our women''s favorite tricks," Yun
Shang smiled and whispered to Shu Jin.
Shu Jin replied smilingly, "Yes, it looked great."
They both smiled and sat down in the side hall together. The women performers were brought in, and
the head of the Acrobatics Troupe walked in the front. She bowed and said with a smile, "Your Majesty,
the petals we picked before have almost been used up. I''ll ask them to pick some more first. There are
still some left here. If you feel bored waiting, Let me dye your nails first. "
"Oh, you have this kind of craftsmanship? That''s good, " Yun Shang replied with a smile. She turned to
Shu Jin and asked, "Mother, do you want to have a dye too?"

Shu Jin smiled and said, "I don''t like it all the time. You know it."
Hearing this, Yun Shang smiled. She ordered someone to bring a small bowl and handed it to the
woman. The woman picked the gold phoenix petals from the brocade handkerchief and put them into
the bowl. She then crushed them with a stick. The alum was ready, and the woman took some.
Yun Shang stretched out her hand. The woman held Yun Shang''s hand and took some crushed petals
and juice with a small piece of wood, intending to apply them onto Yun Shang''s hand. With a brilliant
smile, Yun Shang took over the small piece of wood and picked up the bowl filled with petals and juice.
She opened the woman''s mouth and poured all the things in the bowl into her mouth.
