Chapter 173 Dancing in Yujing
"Mo Tian, let's go." Jiang Xue was not interested in watching the fun, so she took Mo Tian away.
Wang Ruixuan and his group were left screaming and howling in the store, and finally the boss sent them back.
I heard that Wang Changqing was furious about this and sent people all over the city to look for Mo Tian, but naturally they found nothing.
In the following days, Jiang Xue often went to Wanbaolou, but she always dressed in men's clothes and only went when there were many people.
Inside Prince Gong's Mansion, Xiao Zhan was reading the manuscript Xiaochun had sent him a few days ago. The handwriting was beautiful and the writing was brilliant. Xiao Zhan was relaxed and happy, and a smile appeared on his lips involuntarily. He was in a very good mood.
"Fourth brother, I have already done what you asked me to do."
As soon as Xiao Yun entered the room, he saw his fourth brother happily looking at a manuscript. He raised the corner of his mouth and said jokingly, "Hey, fourth brother, are you possessed by evil spirits?"
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Xiao Zhan was brought back to his senses by the shout. He reluctantly put down the manuscript and looked up at Xiao Yun.
"I'm not talking nonsense. Fourth brother, you are really possessed. You are suffering from lovesickness! Oh my!"
Before he could finish his words, Xiao Zhan gently patted him on the forehead, and Xiao Yun cried out in pain.
"I think you are possessed, kid. You dare to tease Fourth Brother!"
Xiao Zhan smiled and shook his head. He really had no idea what to do with his eighth brother.
"Hehe." Xiao Yun scratched his head embarrassedly, "Fourth brother, what treasure are you looking at?"
Jokes aside, teasing the fourth brother is just a little too much. "I'm watching the excitement that Princess Changle has carefully arranged."
"Exciting? What's exciting?"
"You'll know when the time comes." A good show must have some suspense to be interesting, so how can we spoil the show in advance?
Time flies, and it’s the annual poetry festival season again.
This poetry gathering is held every year in the Royal Courtyard, and all the participants are young talents with lofty ambitions and elegant people. They make friends through poetry, talk about everything, and share their own experiences.
Sometimes, the emperor would come quietly and secretly observe these talented people.
If you are lucky enough and catch the emperor's eye, you might even be able to become an official.
This is simply an alternative test of the palace examination.
Who wouldn't be tempted by such a great opportunity to rise to the top overnight? Naturally, everyone was eager to try their best to show off, just to please the emperor.
Even before the poetry reading officially started, the small garden of the villa was already bustling with activity and crowded with young talents who came to participate.
Naturally, there are also several talented and beautiful ladies among them.
The male and female guests consciously stood on both sides of the small arch bridge in the garden.
"Fifth Princess, it feels like there are more people attending the poetry festival this year than in previous years." Standing next to Xiao Min was Chen Xiner.
"Indeed, the family is flourishing. I heard that the emperor might come today, and everyone must be very excited."
Xiao Min bent down and gently picked a flower, then put it close to his nose to savor the fragrance.
She was wearing a goose yellow double-breasted jacket and skirt with lifelike kingfishers embroidered on the hem, which made her look fresh and refined, yet royal in style.
Many talented men were attracted to her and couldn't help but look at her.
She really looks like a princess, and her every move reveals her innate noble temperament.
Xiao Min really enjoyed the feeling of being the center of attention, because under such attention, her dignity was highlighted.
"Princess, Xichen's day has arrived." Chen Xiner pointed to the entrance of the villa, and saw Jun Li standing out from the crowd alone.
Xiao Min was delighted and quickly went to greet him with a smile on his face: "Brother Wenshui, you are finally here. I will wait for you for a long time tomorrow."
Jun Li instinctively wanted to avoid it, but in such an occasion, he couldn't quarrel with the Princess of Beiling.
Resisting his discomfort, Jun Li forced a kind smile and replied, "Your Highness the Fifth Princess."
"During today's poetry gathering, will Brother Shui always accompany Min'er?"
"As long as the princess needs me, Jun Li will always be by her side."
Of course, he planned to sneak away as usual when he got the chance.
He had no good feelings towards Xiao Min, and even felt that the arrogance of this princess was a bit offensive. As a princess, Jiang Xue was much cuter than her before! At least Jiang Xue used to listen to him, but now...
As the saying goes, whoever you think of will appear. Jun Li was just thinking about Jiang Xue when Gan Palace's carriage slowly stopped at the entrance of the villa.
The first to come down were Jiang Xue's personal maids, a pair of sisters named Xiaochun and Fudong.
Then, Jiang Xue slowly stepped down from the carriage.
Today she was wearing her favorite light blue dress, which set off her snow-white skin and made her look particularly charming.
In order to protect her from the cold wind, Xiaochun thoughtfully prepared a white cloak for her.
She was as beautiful as a fairy in a painting, with delicate features, a tall and slender figure, eyes as deep as a calm lake, and a gentle smile on her lips, which added a bit of brilliance to her beauty.
As soon as she appeared, she became the focus of the whole audience and directly stole all the limelight from Xiao Min.
People rushed to see with their own eyes Princess Changle, who stunned everyone with her "Plum Blossom Dance" at the banquet.
"She is so graceful and beautiful! This is the legendary Princess Changle, the 'Dancing in Jade Capital'!"
"A beauty like this must only exist in heaven, how can we ever see one in this world?"
All the literati and scholars who met Jiang Xue for the first time praised her highly.
"It's just a dance, but you really think you're a fairy? How shameless!"
Seeing that Jun Li's eyes had never left Jiang Xue since she appeared, Xiao Min was burning with jealousy. Her beautiful face was slightly distorted by anger. She reached out to hold Jun Li and coquettishly called out, "Ask Brother Shui."
Jun Li suppressed his inner irritation, lowered his head and smiled at her.
Jiang Xue glanced around and found that the people with the most noble identities at the scene were Xiao Min and Jun Li.
Originally she didn't want to pay any attention to these two people, but they were standing right at the door, and she couldn't pretend not to see them.
With a soft sigh, she stepped forward and saluted the two of them: "Fifth Princess, Prince Xichen."
"Sister Changle, I haven't seen you for a long time. You look more and more radiant now."
There was a hint of sourness in Xiao Min's words, but he still had a friendly smile on his face.
"Two beauties, they are so dazzling!" The two stunning princesses standing side by side make people feel excited and full of emotion.
Jiang Xue maintained her charming smile, while Xiao Min pouted slightly.
Humph, how can a woman from another country compare with this princess?
"Sister Changle, there are guests coming later. Let's go in first and don't block everyone's way."
There is something else behind these words, and they are very meaningful.
Jiang Xue smiled secretly in her heart and nodded to Xiao Min: "Princess, you are absolutely right."
She took a step forward and walked gracefully past Xiao Min and Chen Xiner.
A gloomy look flashed across Chen Xiner's eyes. She seized the opportunity and quietly stretched out her foot, intending to trip Jiang Xue's skirt.
Ha! Jiang Xue, you want to be in the limelight? I'll let you be in the limelight!
Jiang Xue caught this action out of the corner of her eye and secretly laughed at her childishness.
