His glance and smile made countless ladies who noticed all this blush and their hearts beat faster. They lowered their heads one after another, but then unwillingly looked over at him secretly, suppressing their shyness.

At this age when love begins to blossom and young girls are in the mood for spring, there are very few girls who can truly only consider the interests of their family and ignore appearance.

Jiang Si looked at all this coldly, feeling a subtle mixture of pride and dissatisfaction, and then she despised herself deeply: It would be fine to be proud, after all, her man was an outstanding man and worthy of pride, but she was not a jealous person, so what was there to be unhappy about?

It's all because of Yu Qi's jealous nature.

Thinking of this, Jiang Si pursed his lips and smiled.

Yu Jin was also in a very good mood.

Finally, he could interact with Asi openly as a prince.

After today, she will be his girl.

The King of Shu felt that his younger brother had overshadowed him, but he didn't care too much.

For a man, especially one from a royal family, appearance is the least important thing. It would be a shame for him to care about it.

Concubine Xian smiled and said, "Please take a seat, my two princes. It is a good opportunity for you to appreciate the demeanor of our noble ladies from the capital."

Yu Jin and the King of Shu sat down.

The presence of two young and handsome princes instantly made the girls excited. Even though they tried their best to appear reserved, their excitement could still be seen from their every move.

Even if she would not be chosen, even if the two princes in front of her were not princes but just ordinary noblemen, out of girl's nature, who wouldn't want to show her best side?

Soon, everyone present was treated to a feast for the ears and eyes.

There were people playing the zither, the flute, and the harp, and especially the third lady of Shouchun Marquis's mansion, Kou Lingbo, who performed a wonderful Huxuan dance that was a feast for the eyes.

After Kou Lingbo finished his dance, the whole audience was silent for a moment, and no noble lady came on stage for a long time.

No one wants to be portrayed by Kou Lingbo as a mediocre vase, paving the way for others.

Jiang Si just stopped clapping along with the crowd when he felt a pair of eyes falling on him.

Full of ill intentions.

"My ladies, Miss Jiang from the Duke of Dongping's mansion said she wants to go on stage." Chen Huifu shouted with a smile.

Chen Huifu was only fourteen or fifteen years old. His pair of almond-shaped eyes made him look innocent when he smiled. No one would have thought that he was lying with his eyes open.

Two inexplicable gazes swept towards Jiang Si, one from Concubine Xian and the other from Concubine Zhuang.

Concubine Xian thought: I just saw this girl sitting in a corner, she seemed quite sensible, knowing her own weight, but now she wants to be the center of attention? I don't know what to say!

Concubine Zhuang shook her head secretly, and looked down upon Jiang even more.

Let's not talk about the fact that Miss Jiang has little chance of performing even if she performs outstandingly. Just the applauded Hu Xuan dance she just performed is still making people savor it. It was unwise for this girl to choose to perform at this time.

If he really had the talent, it would be too competitive to choose this time to go on stage.

If you don't have anything to show for it, it would be embarrassing.

The two ladies naturally could not imagine that a girl like Chen Huifu, who looked innocent and harmless, would lie so eloquently. And the noble lady, who was not far from Chen Huifu and knew all her little tricks, would not stand up for Jiang Si.

Chen Huifu is certain of this point, so he has nothing to fear.

She just didn't believe that Jiang Si would dare to give her up.

In this kind of situation, no matter who is right or wrong, if the dispute starts, no one will suffer.

Chen Huifu had a good idea.

Jiang Si was pushed out as the leader without paying attention, so it is naturally impossible for him to retreat and become a turtle.

All she had to choose was to go on stage.

Yu Jin held the teacup, his eyes deep.

This woman was plotting against him right in front of him?

It's not an option to overturn the table right then and there, after all, the wife hasn't been decided yet.

Yu Jin endured it again and again, looking at Jiang Si with a bit of worry in his eyes.

Although he had thought about Asi for many years, he had only been in contact with her for less than a year. What was Asi good at?

I recalled it in my mind, and a few words flashed through my mind: murder, arson, chopping a man's butt with a knife...

Yu Jin didn't dare to think about it anymore.

Ahem, in this situation, it seems better for Ah Si to keep a low profile.

Jiang Si raised the corners of his lips quietly.

She doesn’t care about other people, but what’s that look in Yu Qi’s eyes?

Do you think she has nothing to show off? Well, she is definitely not the best at music, chess, calligraphy or painting, but she can still handle this kind of situation.

Jiang Si stood up slowly, bowed in the direction of Concubine Xian and Concubine Zhuang, and said with a faint smile: "I didn't dare to show my ugliness, but Miss Chen just said that if I went on stage, she would go on stage next. I couldn't bear to see Miss Chen lose the opportunity to show herself, so I dared to show my ugliness."

Chen Huifu bit his lip suddenly, the corners of his mouth trembled a few times before he swallowed his words, and looked at Jiang Si with murderous eyes.

This cunning little bastard!

Chen Huifu's dislike for the Dongping Marquis's Mansion came not only from his brother, but also from his close friend Cui Mingyue.

Mingyue was harmed by the Zhu family and the Dongping Marquis' Mansion, otherwise why would she hide at home and not come out in such a situation, and let such a not-so-presentable thing inexplicably appear at the concubine selection banquet.

Chen Huifu thought about all this and felt indignant, but just as she had plotted against Jiang Si, Jiang Si retaliated, and she could not deny it.

In other words, after Jiang Si finished showing his talent, it was her turn.

Chen Huifu felt a little flustered.

Of course, she was proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, but she was a little timid to bring them out in such an occasion.

Many of the noble ladies who demonstrated these before were better than her in several aspects. If she were to go on stage, she would be embarrassed.

Jiang Si saw a flash of embarrassment on Chen Huifu's face and curled his lips slightly.

Silly child, you will know what ugly means later.

Jiang seemed really annoyed.

She could regard the private squeezing and arguing as the little girl being ignorant and lazy, but what was the situation?

There were two ladies and the prince present. If she were an ordinary girl, she would be embarrassed by being forced to go on stage and would probably never recover from it.

Being willing to destroy a person's future, especially when the two have no direct grudge against each other, is not being ignorant but being vicious.

In Jiang Si's view, viciousness knows no age.

Since he deserves to be punished so badly, she will certainly not be lenient when it comes to teaching him a lesson.

She has never been kind to women, not in her entire life. Who says she is not a man?

Jiang Si had already walked to the center of the field under countless gazes.

Yu Jin pursed his thin lips to suppress his worry, and the King of Shu showed a focused look for the first time.

"I wonder what talent Miss Jiang is going to show?" Concubine Xian asked calmly.

Jiang Si smiled calmly: "I just admired the talents of the ladies. Their skills are far superior to mine. I will not make fun of you. I plan to perform a magic trick, hoping to amuse you all."

Magic tricks?

Concubine Xian frowned subconsciously.

The women looked at him with curiosity, and there was mockery hidden deep in their eyes.

Performing magic tricks in such an occasion? This is too unbecoming.

"Please help me pick two plum blossoms in bud and two glass bottles half-full of water."
