"I believe you don't have such thoughts, so don't blame yourself because of what others say. Just be yourself and have a clear conscience."
Su Siyi nodded, not quite understanding. Seeing his obedient appearance, Su Chenyu couldn't help but smile: "No, don't worry. Your mother also believes in you. You don't care about other people's eyes."
After persuading Su Siyi, Su Chenyu returned to her seat and was met with a dissatisfied look from Bai Yanqing: "Your Highness the Princess is really busy."
"Who is this? Isn't this my jealous husband?" Su Chenyu was already very familiar with coaxing Baiqi Yanqing, "Husband, I'm back to accompany you."
Bai Yanqing chuckled and said, "It's time to have dinner. Let's stop making noise."
This banquet was more about having fun, so there were songs and dances specially prepared to liven up the atmosphere. Rong Ruo watched a few of the performances and found them a bit boring: "Madam Shufei, you wouldn't have prepared only these songs and dances, right?"
Concubine Shu casually replied, "Of course, I can't compare to the Crown Princess's superb piano skills. Would you like to play a song for us?"
The words of Concubine Shu reminded Rong Ruo of some unpleasant things. Others could naturally imagine it and were trying not to laugh. However, Su Jinwei became angry in his heart. Why did Rong Ruo say so much? "Enough, keep reading."
Madam Taifu suddenly spoke up: "Madam Shufei, I have a daughter who is good at dancing. She can dance for everyone. What do you think, Madam Shufei?"
The Grand Tutor and his wife were usually not the kind of people who liked to show off, so now that his wife had made this request, Concubine Shu did not refuse.
Soon, several dancers came up, and the lead dancer standing in the middle was Ruqin, the daughter that the Taifu’s wife mentioned.
Su Chenyu glanced at Bai Li Yanqing, who seemed not to notice that it was Ruqin at all and was just appreciating the dance in front of him.
Seeing that Bai Yanqing did not reveal any flaws, Su Chenyu also watched the dance seriously. Ruqin was a maid Lingzhi before, so she must have never learned to dance. This dance must have taken a long time of practice and a lot of hard work to dance so lightly and gracefully.
Su Jinwei's eyes almost never left Ruqin's face. This woman was really beautiful!
When the dance ended, everyone applauded. Many people asked Mrs. Taifu, "Madam Yan, you have such a beautiful daughter hidden in your family, and we didn't even know about it."
Madam Yan took Ruqin's hand and asked her to sit next to her: "My daughter was not healthy when she was young, so she was raised in a farm in the suburbs. I brought her back some time ago. I didn't expect her to grow up to be so graceful and even dance so well."
Ruqin saw that she was very shy. She kept her head down, leaning against Madam Yan, without saying a word. This timid look made Su Jinwei, who had been paying attention to her, feel even more jealous.
Rong Ruo had a hot temper and often went against Su Jinwei. Su Jinwei did not feel any tenderness or affection from her.
Although Bai Qi was gentle and considerate, the pain of having his body seen by so many people had always been choking him in his heart, and he never felt comfortable.
He looked at the woman in front of him, her appearance was simply a figment of his imagination. She looked so quiet and gentle sitting there. She was also the daughter of the Grand Tutor. Such a person should be his Crown Princess.
Seeing that Su Jinwei's eyes occasionally fell on Ruqin, Rong Ruo said coldly: "Madam Yan, you just brought your daughter back from the suburbs, and you can't wait to let her dance. What are you thinking? How well can a person who grew up in Zhuangzi dance? It's a pity that you gave face to her for Madam Yan's sake!"
