After returning from rebirth, the eldest sister of Hou family destroyed her household registration b

Liu Zhaoran's face turned pale.

Chu Huanyan frowned, while the other female relatives secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Third Prince, I am not good at dancing." Liu Zhaoran immediately stood up and spoke.

When Liu Qianran and Pei Zhaoqing saw this situation, they instantly frowned.

After Liu Zhaoran spoke, Liu Qianran quickly raised his hands and said to Xiao Rongxuan.

"Third Prince, please forgive me. She has been afraid of heights since she was a child. She doesn't even dare to go to high places on weekdays. She really can't complete the dance on this high platform."

Xiao Rongxuan's cold expression has not faded yet. This third round is specially prepared for Chu Huanyan. He actually doesn't care whether others dance on the stage.

But if someone gave up in the first round, even if it was Chu Huanyan's turn later, she would have to find reasons.

But... Xiao Rongxuan looked at Liu Qianran.

Liu Qianran has now become his helper. If he really doesn't give him any face, he might have resentment in the future, which would not be good.

Xiao Rongxuan's thoughts were spinning rapidly, and the next moment, his eyes suddenly fell on Chu Huanyan again.

"Of course, these rules cannot be changed at will, but since Miss Liu is afraid of heights, I don't want to be too hard on others. If someone is willing to perform this high-stage dance for Miss Liu, Miss Liu does not have to go up."

After that, Xiao Rongxuan smiled directly at Chu Huanyan and said, "I heard that Miss Chu and Miss Liu have a good relationship. Why don't you jump up for her?"

"No!" Liu Zhaoran objected subconsciously.

"If there is no one to replace you, then Miss Liu can go up." Xiao Rongxuan said bluntly.

Today, his purpose has been extremely obvious, and he is too lazy to hide anything at this moment.

If Chu Huanyan doesn't get to that high platform, all her arrangements will be in vain, and she will become the laughing stock of some people.

In the garden, the atmosphere was stagnant.

If some people had doubts when they saw the high platform before, now they are completely sure that the third prince is obviously targeting Miss Chu!

Compared to just now, more people are secretly fighting for Chu Huanyan.

I don’t know how this Miss Chu offended the Third Prince, so he insisted on forcing her to dance on the high platform. In previous years, most of the meandering banquets were voluntary, but this year’s third round, the sense of coercion was too strong. .

However, although he was unhappy, no one stood up to defend Chu Huanyan.

After all, the third prince is the third prince, and the other party's purpose has been so obvious. If anyone stands up to stop the rebuttal at this time, wouldn't it be a clear way to make the other party jealous.

What's more, one is the dignified Third Prince, and the other is the young lady of the declining Hou Mansion. It's obvious who is more important and who should be helped.

Even though the smile usually seemed to grow on his face, at this moment, Xiao Jinzhi's expression still darkened.

Xiao Rongxuan's attitude of refusing to give up without achieving his goal was indeed beyond his expectations. I am afraid that in addition to the temptation, he was completely angry because Chu Huanyan repeatedly dodged him.

"Are you not willing, Miss Chu?" Xiao Rongxuan spoke again, with sarcasm and playfulness in his tone.

"There is no need for Miss Chu to take my place. I can just go by myself." Liu Zhaoran took a deep breath and gritted his teeth.

Today's humiliation is probably unavoidable, but after all, she is the legitimate daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, so the Third Prince will not let anything happen to her in Liuyun Garden!

only……

Turning his head to look at the high platform, Liu Zhao began to sweat on his back.

Liu Qianran frowned even more tightly, "Zhaoran, you..."

"My daughter takes the place of Miss Liu." Chu Huanyan spoke.

Liu Qianran turned to look at Chu Huanyan.

Liu Zhaoran also looked at her instantly, "Huanyan, no, I..."

"It's okay." Chu Huanyan shook her head at Liu Zhaoran, and then spoke to Xiao Rongxuan, "It's just that I haven't danced again for many years, and I'm afraid I'm already very unfamiliar. If it ruins the elegance of the third prince, I hope the third prince Forgive me."

"Miss Chu is serious. You are willing to dance on the high stage, which is already a blessing to this prince and everyone." Xiao Rongxuan said casually and perfunctorily, "There are dance clothes in the house. Come and take Miss Chu to change."

Chu Huanyan followed a maid and temporarily left Liuyun Garden.

Liu Zhaoran was worried and followed him.

After leaving Liuyun Garden, Liu Zhaoran caught up with Chu Huanyan, frowned and said: "Huanyan, actually you don't have to..."

"This incident was originally about me, and you were just innocently involved." Chu Huanyan interrupted Liu Zhaoran's words softly, "What's more, even if you go up this round, the third prince may not be able to do it. Let’s start the second and third round again.”

"Third Prince, this is too blatant!" Liu Zhaoran frowned and couldn't help but speak.

Chu Huanyan shook her head at her and pointed her eyes at the maid leading the way, asking Liu Zhaoran to pay attention to his words.

In fact, for a moment just now, she felt that Xiao Rongxuan's performance was too obvious, but soon, she figured it out.

The more obvious the temptation is, if Xiao Jinzhi still takes action, the more it will prove that he and Xiao Jinzhi have a close relationship.

More importantly, Xiao Rongxuan didn't take him seriously at all.

If it were Liu Zhaoran, or other female relatives with high birth status and family protection, Xiao Rongxuan might be able to restrain himself.

But she was different. Her status as the legitimate daughter of the Hou family might be of some use to the Zhou family and the Lin family, but in today's banquet with nobles everywhere, she was just an insignificant existence.

Even if something happened to him in this house, no one might pursue it.

Chu Huanyan thought clearly. Seeing that the place to change had arrived, she comforted Liu Zhaoran and asked her to wait outside with the maid who was leading the way. Then she walked in.

In the room, the first thing that caught her eye was the row of dance clothes of different colors and styles, and then, Chu Huanyan saw Yun Chen sneaking in through the back window.

"You can't do this dance." Yun Chen looked coldly.

There were people guarding under the high platform, so he couldn't get closer to inspect it carefully, but just now he was hiding in the dark and could clearly see the whole process of the game and the banquet. He was clearly here for the young lady.

"I have already agreed." Chu Huanyan said.

"But……"

Chu Huanyan shook her head at him, glanced in the direction of the door, and after making sure the door was closed, she walked to Yun Chen and whispered to him in a low voice.

After Yun Chen left, Chu Huanyan's eyes swept over the row of dance clothes, and finally stopped at the bright red dress.

After burning the incense, Chu Huanyan changed her dance clothes, makeup, and bun, and returned to Liuyun Garden.

The garden, which was originally filled with discussions about poetry, suddenly became quiet the moment Chu Huanyan appeared...
