Li Shuning, however, ignored them and returned to her room by herself.
She knew why Lou Ge said those words today; it was to make the other dancing girls exclude her.
When Lou Ge moved closer to her, the others would isolate her, and she feared her relationship with Lou Ge would strengthen, leading to total trust without any suspicion.
Since childhood, Li Shuning had been learning dance skills. It's said she was abducted and became a dancing girl in the palace at the age of thirteen. Though her childhood experiences made her mature early, she remained kind and innocent.
She has been in the palace for seven years. For the first six years, she continuously studied, immersed in the world of song and dance, absorbing all useful skills. She seldom communicated with others and never maliciously imagined people. Those who treated her well, she naturally reciprocated.
This year she began to show her talents, thus attracting the attention of the Empress Dowager.
