Chapter 116: Jealous of Oneself
That was actually the first time Qi Shaoyou met the person destined for him on his marriage chart, and he couldn't take his eyes off her after just one glance.
Beneath the peach trees, occasional spring breezes would drift by, causing petals to flutter down from the branches like pink butterflies. A gentle sniff would reveal a faint floral fragrance. However, none of this could compare to Shen Mingjiao at that time.
She wore a crimson, high-waisted dress that shimmered in the golden sunlight. Shen Mingjiao's face radiated pure joy as she smiled and asked her two maids amidst the peach blossoms. That smile was more beautiful than a hundred flowers in full bloom.
"Tell me, did I dance better today, or did the dancer dance better?"
"I really don't understand why my brother and father both like watching dances. What, am I not a good dancer?"
"I danced very well too! Father and brother simply don't know how to appreciate it!"
The two maids exchanged glances, not daring to speak ill of the Emperor and the Crown Prince. They could only immediately bow and respectfully say, "Naturally, it was Her Highness the Princess who danced the best."
"You two have such good taste!" She knew they were just trying to flatter her, but she really wanted to get her father and brother's attention.
She can definitely improve!
After Shen Mingjiao finished speaking, she started dancing in the peach grove, a dance she had casually learned. In Qi Shaoyou's opinion, it couldn't really be called a dance; she thought it looked more like a kitten wiggling its bottom and shaking its head.
The sun was shining brightly, and the kitten clearly enjoyed the activity. Shen Mingjiao was very proud, listening to her maid praise her as she imitated the movements from the memory book.
The dancers' performances were much better, both in terms of their movements, postures, and rhythm.
Qi Shaoyou clearly felt that way, but when she saw Shen Mingjiao smiling among the flowers, she couldn't take her eyes off her.
She suddenly wanted Shen Mingjiao to always be this happy, and for that smile to remain on her face forever.
This was the first time Qi Shaoyou had ever known what it meant to be breathtakingly beautiful. He realized that being breathtakingly beautiful didn't require the appearance of a fairy descending to earth, nor did it require any particularly elaborate dance moves.
All you need is a kitten in the sunshine and peach blossom grove, wagging its tail and meowing for attention.
Afterwards, Qi Shaoyou returned home and painted a picture in his study to commemorate the day. After their marriage, she even showed the painting to Shen Mingjiao.
The painting only depicted Shen Mingjiao's back view, and Shen Mingjiao even praised her for painting it well.
She thought Shen Mingjiao would remember. Now it seems her little princess has no idea who she drew…
Shen Mingjiao's tireless efforts over this period have resulted in significant improvement in her dance moves compared to her previous cat-like spinning.
She's so cute that you just want to hug her and kiss her a few more times.
Qi Shaoyou watched her dance, a smile gradually appearing on his face. Actually, her dancing was already very good, but she could always find traces of a kitten wiggling its bottom in the corners. People's little habits always leave some marks.
Qi Shaoyou smiled slightly and even clapped along to the music for Shen Mingjiao.
After the dance, Shen Mingjiao threw herself into Qi Shaoyou's arms.
"How about it! It's better than the dance in your painting!"
Shen Mingjiao, despite having beads of sweat on her forehead and being slightly out of breath while speaking, couldn't help but come over and ask Qi Shaoyou.
Qi Shaoyou smelled the peach scent emanating from her and nodded in agreement with his little princess.
Shen Mingjiao could no longer suppress her anticipation; she had been heartbroken for a long time after seeing that painting. But she didn't dare tell Qi Shaoyou, afraid he would think she was too jealous. She didn't want to leave even the slightest stain on her sister Shaoyou's heart!
But things are different now; that person definitely can't catch up to this world!
All she needs to do is erase Shaoyou's memories, and from then on, she will only remember the dance she performed!
Then! She took out the anti-bite device and used the secret technique taught by Sister Chenping! Today she was going to let Sister Shaoyou know the consequences of casually telling her wife how well someone else dances!
She definitely wouldn't back down today! Shen Mingjiao was clearly overjoyed, her eyes brimming with eagerness. She was ready!
"Don't nod! Tell me right now who danced better!" Shen Mingjiao pouted, making a fierce expression.
Qi Shaoyou raised his hands in surrender, but was forced to speak by the little princess.
"Naturally, it's the one in front of me. The person I drew back then didn't dance as well as my wife."
Qi Shaoyou suppressed a laugh, unable to resist teasing Shen Mingjiao when he saw her like this.
"You're not being honest!" Shen Mingjiao took out the anti-bite device from her bag and put it on Qi Shaoyou with lightning speed.
Qi Shaoyou went along with Shen Mingjiao and let her take the things with her.
Upon hearing the click, Shen Mingjiao immediately became excited. She had actually done it! Looking at Qi Shaoyou wearing the anti-bite device, she found her Shaoyou sister even more charming.
How can someone be so good-looking? Dark blue eyes, long black hair, and slightly sharp features. Now, with the addition of a black bite stopper, the design of which is actually very simple, even more so than a dog's bite stopper.
One is a pure black iron anti-bite device on the upper lip, and the other is on the lower jaw. Wearing it on Qi Shaoyou's face, people would believe it's just a recent fashion item, not an anti-bite device.
Qi Shaoyou's temperament was originally somewhat cold, but when he looked at Shen Mingjiao, he would subtly reveal a hint of warmth. With this anti-bite device, her aloof face became even cooler.
"Thump thump," "thump thump," Shen Mingjiao listened to her rapidly beating heart and felt that she was really being a disgrace.
Think about all the preparations you've made! Shen Mingjiao! You can't let all your efforts go to waste. Today, you must make Sister Shaoyou understand the consequences of saying those things in front of Madam!
Don't let beauty ruin your career! Shen Mingjiao, you can do it!
Qi Shaoyou's indifferent eyes were exceptionally charming, and Shen Mingjiao's face grew increasingly red.
Qi Shaoyou, not waiting for his wife to speak, had to speak up himself.
“I’m very sincere. Back then, my wife could only wiggle her bottom like a kitten, but now she can dance much better.”
Shen Mingjiao bristled when she heard the kitten wiggle its bottom.
"Who are you calling a kitten wiggling its butt!" Shen Ming said huffingly, making a move to climb out of Qi Shaoyou's arms and point at her.
But after she got up, she was stunned again.
What do you mean by "I've made progress"?
Qi Shaoyou raised an eyebrow at Shen Mingjiao, and after a moment, he said, "It was all your dancing. If it's not because you've improved, then what is it?"
"What a silly girl, she's jealous but doesn't say anything? And then hides away and suffers her own jealousy?"
Qi Shaoyou's smile was particularly striking at that moment, and Shen Mingjiao finally understood.
"You're not allowed to laugh!" Shen Mingjiao then realized she had embarrassed herself.
