Without thinking twice, I immediately walked towards the stage.
Li Jiancheng's eyes lit up when he saw Li Mu's face. What a stunningly beautiful face, capable of bringing ruin to a country.
Looking down from her face, her swan-like neck, her perfectly proportioned figure, her curvaceous body, and her elegant, dignified, and noble demeanor are truly unique in the world.
Li Jiancheng swallowed hard, unable to control himself.
Qin Yin's eyes, hidden beneath the mask, were icy cold.
Your Highness, how about I accompany you with a guzheng performance?
Can.
Li Xiaorui didn't know much about Li Muren. She hadn't paid much attention to them when they sat together at the previous Crown Prince's selection ceremony, so she nodded to Li Muren.
As soon as he finished speaking, the guzheng was already set up on the stage.
Li Mu sat down and waited for Li Xiaorui's signal.
After taking a deep breath, Li Xiaorui looked at Li Mu and nodded to him.
Li Mu understood, and the melodious sound of the zither began.
The entire piece is characterized by its unique and beautiful melody, refreshing style, distinctive charm, and lively yet dramatic flow.
If you close your eyes and listen, you can feel the scene of crows leisurely and carefree in the water, chasing and playing with each other.
It sounded so beautiful, so incredibly beautiful. A group of people listened with their eyes closed as Li Mu played the guzheng.
that is...
Nobody was watching Li Xiaorui dancing gracefully on stage.
As the sound gradually faded, Li Xiaorui also stopped dancing. She lowered her head and smiled slightly, then lifted her skirt with both hands and gave an elegant bow to the audience below. She looked up at Qin Yin with hopeful eyes.
Qin Yin didn't look at him, but lowered his eyes and gently moved his hand on the table.
Clap clap clap, applause rang out.
Li Jiancheng smiled, his eyes revealing undisguised admiration.
Li Jiancheng strolled leisurely to Li Mu.
Seeing is believing. I had long heard that the eldest daughter of the Li family, Li Mu, was the most beautiful woman in the capital, talented and skilled in singing and dancing. Seeing her today, I can confirm that her reputation is well-deserved.
Well, this guy's actually making a fuss about it. Gu Kaizhi, watching Li Jiancheng from a distance, thought to himself, "What the hell?"
Your Highness the Crown Prince is too kind.
Li Mu nodded slightly and stepped off the stage.
Li Jiancheng watched Li Mu leave, then glanced at Qin Yin out of the corner of his eye. Seeing Qin Yin clench his fist again, he smiled slightly.
Looking at Li Mu, who was shining brightly on the stage, Ling Hao felt a pang of sadness, which reminded him of her from his youth.
Ling Hao ate a lollipop.
A chubby, adorable little girl stood in front of him, her delicate features radiating a charming smile.
A lollipop appeared in front of Ling Hao.
Ling Hao impatiently swatted it away.
The lollipop fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.
The little girl squatted on the ground, carefully picking up the broken lollipop. Her pink lips trembled slightly, as if she was about to cry but held back.
As a teenager, Ling Hao would look at the little girl in front of him who was holding back her tears and feel a little annoyed. He would suddenly get up and leave. This had happened countless times.
When did that little girl, who always seemed to be in front of him, start to leave him?
Looking at the woman with skin as smooth as jade, beauty as angel, and an air of nobility, Ling Hao's eyes were filled with complex emotions.
For a moment, Ling Hao was lost in deep memories and confusion, completely unaware that Mi Xi had stood up.
Your Highness the Crown Prince
A voice sounded beside Ling Hao; it was Mi Xi speaking.
Who are you?
Your Highness, this is my second daughter, Mi Xi.
Oh, Miss Li, is there something you need?
I've loved music since I was little, and after listening to my sister play the guzheng, I really wanted to go up and play a piece myself.
Upon hearing this, Li Jiancheng understood. This so-called second young lady of the Li family seemed to have many ulterior motives.
However, resorting to too many clever tricks is simply foolish.
Li Jiancheng naturally knew this second young lady of the Li family. She had been recognized by someone a few years ago and then married into the Ling family.
Li Jiancheng glanced at Mi Xi, smiled slightly, and gestured for her to enter.
Mi Xi was dazzled by the smile of Crown Prince Li Jiancheng, and lowered her head shyly before lifting her skirt and walking onto the stage.
Patriarch Li, Miss Li is truly stunningly beautiful. I believe that no man could resist her.
It seemed like a sigh, yet also like a joke; it didn't explicitly mention Mi Xi, but it also seemed to imply something.
Your Highness is too kind; my daughter just happens to be good at playing the guzheng.
Your Highness.
An armored soldier walked over and whispered something in Li Jiancheng's ear. Li Jiancheng's lips visibly curled up slightly.
As soon as Mi Xi sat down, she looked up at Li Jiancheng and saw the smile on his lips. She was secretly delighted. The Crown Prince must have fallen for her.
Unfortunately, my favorite is still Brother Hao. Who can blame me for having so many tricks up my sleeve? But being a princess wouldn't be bad either.
Oh dear, this is such a difficult decision!
Mi Xi was lost in her own thoughts, but quickly composed herself.
Mi Xi felt that he had been practicing piano since he was a child, and that he was quite talented in the piano.
Mi Xi became absorbed in her own world, focusing solely on showing off in front of others.
Mi Xi was overjoyed to realize that her performance had exceeded expectations.
Mi Xi could already imagine receiving countless applause and praises, and even the young masters and ladies in the audience would be filled with respect for her, or even worship her immensely.
The word spread like wildfire, reaching every corner of China. She became known as the nation's most talented and beautiful socialite and the most gifted woman, driving all men crazy for her.
This was also Mi Xi's main purpose in attending this most prestigious banquet.
Looking at her daughter, whom she had worked so hard to raise, standing so dazzlingly on the stage, Mi Lan couldn't help but sigh.
Not only were my daughter and I invited to this top-level banquet, but my daughter was also shining on stage. I felt so gratified, so proud, so incredibly proud.
Just as Mi Xi was playing the piano, an armored soldier guarding the entrance shouted loudly.
R Country Representative Miyamoto Nanhuai-do
The music was interrupted, and everyone present except for Crown Prince Li Jiancheng and Qin Yin looked toward the entrance.
At the entrance, a man and a woman slowly walked in.
The man was dressed in black and gray traditional R country clothing, while the woman wore pink and white cherry blossom-colored clothing. Both of them had the Miyamoto family totem tattooed on their chests.
The two men walked up to Li Jiancheng and bowed slightly.
Representatives from Country R, the Miyamoto Zaibatsu family, including head Miyamoto Nanhuai and his sister Miyamoto Nako, are here to congratulate His Highness the Crown Prince.
Li Jiancheng smiled slightly.
The envoy from Country R is too kind; please have a seat.
Miyamoto Nanhuai, led by a maid, arrived at the table where Qin Yin and the others were seated.
When Miyamoto Nanhuai saw that Qin Yin and the other two masked men, as well as the Li and Ling family members, had not stood up, he paused for a moment and looked at Li Jiancheng.
Who are these princes and noblemen?
Qin Yin sat there, a slight upturn at the corners of his mouth, swirling his red wine, seemingly unaware of Miyamoto Nanhuai's gaze, but the atmosphere became exceptionally cold.
Qin Yun and Qin Reng remained seated, unmoved.
I don't know why, but I feel very uncomfortable whenever I see Qin Yin, as if the two of us are incompatible.
