At the dinner, there was a lot of drinking and chatting.

Yu Nian was holding the wide hem of her pink gauze skirt, and a blue ice crystal necklace was worn on her snow-white neck. Her curly hair was dotted with stars and moons, revealing her slender neck and elegant jawline, making her look like a noble princess.

The man's dark eyes fell on her.

Those clear amber eyes were more dazzling than any gorgeous jewels on her body.

"Marshal Mu, disrespectful and disrespectful."

Mu Yuan raised his wine glass and saw the nobleman who came to talk to him drink the whole glass of wine with his head tilted back, then took a sip.

Seeing that Mu Yuan actually showed him favor, the person in front of him immediately wanted to continue the conversation.

But she saw the man frown and said, "I have something else to do. Excuse me."

A burst of chill instantly froze the nobleman in his tracks. Seeing Mu Yuan leaving, he said, "Goodbye, Marshal Mu!"

Seeing him so shameless, the people around him couldn't help but sneer in their hearts, as he was a well-known businessman traveling between the Empire and the Federation.

But when he thought about how Marshal Mu would do him the honor of drinking a sip of wine, he immediately felt envious.

Yu Nian was brought to Yu Wanying by the waiter, and on her other side was Yu Zhaozhao, who was also dressed in gorgeous clothes.

Yu Nian looked up at her and found that Yu Zhaozhao seemed to have applied a lot of brightening makeup on her face.

Before Yu Zhaozhao's gaze turned to her, Yu Nian hurriedly retracted it, but deep down she was very concerned about this matter. Why did the heroine look so bad...

Is it because auspiciousness has befallen her?

Yu Wanying noticed that her little daughter was absent-minded, and the smile on her face froze. She whispered to Yu Nian to pay attention to her manners and etiquette.

"I'm so glad you all can attend this banquet." The Queen, wearing a crown and gorgeous attire, stood in the center. Her voice was calm and unhurried, reaching every corner of the banquet hall.

After a brief greeting, Yu Wanying began to formally introduce her two daughters to everyone.

At once, countless eyes fell on the two of them.

Yu Nian was originally secretly pinching the hem of her skirt to relax herself, but she gradually felt adapted to these admiring gazes.

Those gazes, those people, with their absolute class admiration and fear, reverence and jealousy, were like the splendor hidden beneath the white, appearing and disappearing.

When Yu Nian withdrew her gaze, she suddenly noticed the man standing in the distance.

The black windbreaker makes his already tall figure appear even more upright. His deep facial features are like a perfect work of art meticulously crafted by an artist. His dark eyes are like obsidian that has not seen the light of day for a long time, hiding a hidden light.

Yu Nian was almost immediately captivated by the man's unique aura.

He stood among the crowd, exuding a noble aura.

The man also saw Yu Nian and raised the wine glass in his hand.

Silently said: Cheers to the Imperial Rose.

Yu Nian noticed the badge on his chest, a dove of peace with its wings spread and a red leaf in its mouth.

After the Queen's speech, the banquet officially began.

"Niannian, let big brother take you for the first dance." As the eldest prince, Yu Shuo was taught etiquette since childhood. He was also very powerful, and his mental strength and supernatural powers were among the best among his peers. Although he had no right of inheritance, there were always females around him who wanted to take him into the harem.

Yu Nian placed her hand on Yu Shuo's palm and saw that the heroine was invited to her first dance by a handsome man.

"That's Zhuo Ning, a favorite in the eyes of the Queen Mother. He recently held resettlement supplies allocated to the disaster area." Yu Shuo explained.

Although Yu Nian had never met this person, Zhuo Ning was the first man accepted by the heroine in the book, and he brought her a lot of benefits.

"Hiss..." Yu Shuo gritted his teeth and felt a slight pain. There was a footprint on his black leather shoes.

The culprit, Yu Nian, quickly apologized. Fortunately, Yu Shuo didn't care about it. After she stepped on countless footprints, the first dance finally ended.

Although Yu Shuo's expression did not show, the twitching corners of his mouth vaguely revealed the torture he had suffered.

Yu Nian wanted to say something to ease the situation, but saw Yu Shuo hurriedly leaving on the pretext of having other things to do. There was a hint of embarrassment in his seemingly unhurried steps.

Yu Nian knew that her dancing skills were "superb", and when she saw that the Queen Mother was no longer paying attention to her, she secretly ran to the corner.

She hid in the corner, picked up a glass of juice and sipped it. This place was hidden enough, and no one would notice Yu Nian's presence unless they deliberately found this place.

“Da da da—”

The sound of leather soles tapping on the gorgeous ground was getting closer and closer.

Yu Nian was just distracted for a moment when he found himself blocked by a black figure.

"Your Highness, do you mind if I sit here for a while?" The man's voice was as low as the slowly plucking strings of a cello, classical yet charming.

Yu Nian nodded, recognizing that this was the man who had amazed her at first sight at the banquet just now.

Even if she saw him again now, Yu Nian still felt that this man had a unique temperament.

I don't know who this person is, but he looks either rich or noble.

"Your Highness likes to be alone." The man said.

Yu Nian exclaimed "Ah", then realized that he was talking to her, so she nodded.

"Your Highness's dancing skills still need to be improved. I wonder if I have the honor to invite Your Highness to dance with me?" Yu Nian's figure was clearly reflected in the man's black eyes.

Yu Nian refused: "Forget it. I'm not very good at this, so I won't hurt your feet."

Her eyes fell on the man's shiny black leather shoes.

"Your Highness, are you worried that others will see us? I know a place where no one passes by. Your Highness can dance with me there. I wonder if I have the chance to become the first orc to surpass the eldest prince today?" The man's words were measured and he even guessed what Yu Nian was thinking.

But Yu Nian was still a little hesitant, she didn't know this person...

"I see quite a few people over there looking for Your Highness. They seem to be male orcs assigned by the Queen..."

As the man finished speaking, Yu Nian stood up and said, "Let's go, let's go dance."

Mu Yuan looked at Yu Nian's hurriedly leaving back, his thin lips slightly curled up.

As for why Yu Nian reacted so strongly, it was because her mother had just specifically told her that she was already an adult, but her backyard had always been empty. Even if she liked a low-ranking proton, she should fill it up as soon as possible...

Yu Nian didn't expect that she would be urged to get married at such a young age, and these were people she had never even met. She instinctively resisted.

The moon was bright and the stars were sparse. It was so quiet outside the banquet hall that you could hear the rustling of the wind.

Yu Nian stood in the quiet little pavilion. The moonlight in the yard was like a tranquil and clear lake. Two elongated shadows gradually approached each other in the moonlight.

"Your Highness, don't be nervous. This is a ballroom dance. You don't have to worry about stepping on me."

The man held Yu Nian's hand and led her to dance to the rhythm.

"Sorry..." Yu Nian stepped on his foot for the first time. After apologizing softly, she found that the man remained calm. If she hadn't stepped on his foot with her own hands, looking at the man's expression, he would have thought that she danced very well.

"I haven't asked for your name yet. It's okay if you don't want to tell me."
