Overjoyed to receive Hongli's permission, Jin immediately signaled to her maid Shunzhen, who was standing behind her, to fetch three empty cups and plates for her.
After a short while, Shunzhen, who was unfamiliar with the Prince Bao's mansion, went with a maid to fetch three exquisite cups. After receiving the cups from Shunzhen, Jinshi got up and walked to the front of the group.
Looking at Hongli and Mingyu in front of her, Jin said, "This humble servant is about to make a fool of herself. I hope Your Highness, your wife, and all the ladies will not laugh at me."
"How could that be? I'm overjoyed, how could I laugh at my sister?" Gao, sitting on the other side of Mingyu, covered her mouth and laughed.
As soon as he finished speaking, Jin started tossing the cups and saucers, and the other person followed suit, spinning the cups and saucers quickly with both hands, managing to keep none of them from hitting the ground.
Jin's game was a kind of juggling. For ordinary people, it was a very simple and common thing, but for the princesses and noblewomen of the royal palace who rarely left their homes, it was a novel thing.
Before she was married, Jin was spoiled by her family and they didn't set many rules for her. So, Jin's favorite thing to do was to go to the marketplace and observe these things.
When Ms. Jin first saw this acrobatic performance, she liked it very much and even specially sought out some acrobatic masters to learn from them for a period of time.
This kind of acrobatics is something that children learn from a young age. Jin started learning late, and although she wasn't an expert, she had at least learned the basics. While it might not be suitable for formal occasions, it was more than enough to please everyone at this family banquet.
Hongli, who was already exhausted after quickly finishing his political affairs, was attracted by Jin's lively performance and led the applause.
Mingyu had never seen anything like it before. Seeing Hongli so happy, she was also delighted and smiled happily, clapping along with him.
From the moment the prince entered the room, none of the people present had ever seen him look at them for even a moment, but now his gaze was fixed on Lady Jin.
Even the proud and arrogant Gao Shi felt a little uneasy, not to mention Keliye Te Shi and Chen Shi, who entered the mansion with Jin Shi.
They all wanted to take advantage of tonight to make a good impression and win the prince's favor, but unexpectedly, Jin Shi seized the opportunity first.
At this moment, they inevitably felt resentful, but seeing that Hongli and Mingyu had clapped, it wouldn't be right for them to just stand by and watch. So they could only clap along, echoing Hongli and Mingyu.
Sitting next to Hongli, Xueying couldn't help but glance at this Jin Shi, because since entering the door, Xueying had never properly looked at the new princess who had just entered the door.
Upon seeing this, Xueying felt even more worried. Jin was very beautiful and charming, and she was likely to be favored.
Just as she turned around and withdrew her gaze from Jin Shi, she saw Hongli looking at her.
Xueying paused slightly, then quickly recovered and whispered to Hongli, "Your Highness, please try this black fungus. Your Highness has worked hard today and needs to eat something light. I wonder if this black fungus suits Your Highness's taste."
Hongli understood that Xueying was being considerate of his busy schedule, so she was giving him more black fungus to calm his mind.
So, Hongli picked up the black fungus that Xueying had placed in the bowl, ate it, and then turned to Xueying and nodded slightly, saying, "This fungus is very much to my liking."
