The night before the Hundred Flowers Banquet, Duan Hong and Duan Sijin brought almost all the best things in the general's mansion to Duan Qingxi's yard.
It seemed as if he particularly hoped that she would be granted marriage at the Hundred Flowers Banquet and get married quickly.
Perhaps out of spite, Duan Qingxi didn't take care of himself.
The next day, she casually put on a brocade robe and a jade hairpin and entered the palace.
There are about forty or fifty noble young masters and young ladies in Kyoto, including those who are not yet married.
After careful selection, there were twenty or thirty people who were able to enter the palace.
Each of them seemed to be looking forward to today's Hundred Flowers Banquet, so everyone was dressed up in bright colors, all in red and green, and everything on their heads, hands, and bodies was covered with valuable items.
In contrast, Duan Qingxi was wearing a plain brocade robe, a simple jade hairpin on her head, and no special items on her body except for a sachet made for her by Chanxue, which made her look more attractive.
Those young masters from aristocratic families were attracted to her the moment they saw her.
The beauty who is as fresh and unworldly as a lotus emerging from the water, I am afraid this is the kind of person I am talking about.
Duan Qingxi felt very uncomfortable being stared at by them, so he had to keep his head down as much as possible to reduce his presence.
However, they didn't know that such behavior would make those young masters of aristocratic families even more itchy.
What a shy and lovely little beauty! She is so pitiful!
There was a young man who wanted to approach and strike up a conversation with the beauty, but he was afraid of offending her, so he hesitated and seemed a little anxious.
Just then, the Queen arrived.
Everyone knelt down quickly and saluted. Only when the queen sat down and offered them seats did they stand up and walk towards their seats.
After sitting down, many people still stared at Duan Qingxi.
The queen also noticed Duan Qingxi. After learning from the palace maid that she was Duan Hong's daughter, she nodded with satisfaction.
After being accustomed to seeing colorful and beautiful flowers in the room, suddenly seeing a fresh, fragrant and elegant hibiscus that does not compete with others is quite pleasing to the eyes.
After saying some customary polite words, the queen asked the dancer to come forward and perform.
In fact, it is also an opportunity for everyone to take a closer look at the young ladies and young men from aristocratic families who are coming to attend the banquet.
Because men and women were sitting separately facing each other, they could see the person opposite them clearly just by looking up.
Although Duan Qingxi's purpose of coming here was not to choose an ideal husband, it was not wrong to appreciate the handsome men and beautiful women, so she looked around.
When I saw this, I was stunned.
She saw a very handsome man sitting right opposite her. Although that man was not as handsome as the handsome man in white that she had seen at the hunting competition before, he was on par with her brother!
The handsome man was wearing a blue robe, his hair tied with a jade crown, and his every move gave people a feeling of elegance and humility.
Elegant and gentle as jade, this is the kind of handsome man we should be talking about!
The handsome man seemed to know Duan Qingxi. After noticing that she was staring at him, he actually curled his lips slightly and nodded at her.
At this time, someone nearby whispered, "I really didn't expect that Young Master Su would come to this Hundred Flowers Banquet!"
"Yes! I came here just for him. I heard that he was forced to come by Lord Su! It's a pity that Master Duan Sijin didn't come. Otherwise, the two of them alone would have outshined all the other young masters from the noble families!"
"Alas, Young Master Su from Su Yuecheng is already in his twenties, but he doesn't have a woman to serve him. Many people say that there might be something fishy going on between him and Young Master Duan!"
"Ah? No way? They look like good brothers to me, not...that kind of people, right?"
"Who knows! But even if they are that kind of people, I am willing to marry him! These Young Master Su and Young Master Duan are really handsome!"
At this time, someone else interrupted and said, "If we talk about beauty, our Crown Prince is the most handsome, right? I'm afraid that the most beautiful woman in the world today can't compare to him!"
