The subtle fragrance of cotton needles

Who is so arrogant as to steal the limelight from the three princes?

Everyone's attention immediately turned to the people who came, who were Xia Yanxiang and Xia Qianxiang.

"Your Highness is greeted by your humble servant." Xia Yanxiang was dressed in a light blue dress, with her hair tied up in a girlish bun, a jade hairpin and a camellia hairpin inserted diagonally, and her pair of peach blossom eyes looked indifferently at Mo Yuyang and the other two.

Even so, Xia Yanxiang appeared calm on the surface, but her heart was filled with turmoil that almost ruined her calm expression. Fortunately, she held back, otherwise she might have attacked Mo Yuyang on the spot.

But if this were to happen, she would not be able to get any good result. Instead, it would bring disaster to the Tu family. Her return would then be in vain. She had to take it slow.

Mo Yuyang didn't expect Xia Yanxiang to actually come today, and asked in surprise: "Oh? The Third Miss of the Minister of Rites' Mansion is here today?"

Many people knew Xia Yanxiang's name, but most of them had only seen her from afar. Today, upon closer inspection, it was discovered that she was more beautiful than most of the women present.

It's obviously just a simple outfit, but it has a cool and unworldly charm.

There was a hint of surprise in Mo Yuchen's eyes, but he tried hard to suppress it.

Xia Yanxiang didn't look at how ugly Xia Pinxiang's face was, and answered Mo Yuyang elegantly: "Your Highness Prince Yuan, I will discuss marriage this year, so naturally I should go out more often."

Mo Yuyang's eyes showed a hint of understanding: "I see, but why did Third Miss come so late today? The Cuju game has already started."

"Your Highness, I got up late today, so I am here late as well."

Mo Yuyang nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

Mo Yuchen looked at Mo Yuyang's expression and said, "Everyone go have fun! No need to be so reserved."

Only then did everyone regain their attention.

"Your servant greets the three princes." Before anyone else came to find Mo Yuyang and the other two, Xia Pinxiang came over first.

Mo Yuyang smiled and nodded: "No need to be polite, this is also the lady of the Minister of Rites' Mansion, right?"

"Your Highness has good eyesight. I am the second young lady of the Xia family." Xia Pinxiang smiled shyly, her face slightly red, without looking up at Mo Yuyang.

Mo Yuyang seemed very satisfied with her approach. He became much happier after seeing Xia Pinxiang's reaction. On the other hand, Xia Yanxiang was very formal and boring.

"Then who is this person..." Mo Yuyang turned around and looked at Xia Jianxiang again.

"Your servant Xia Jianxiang is the younger sister of the second elder sister." Xia Jianxiang couldn't wait for Xia Pinxiang to introduce her, so she stood up first.

Xia Pinxiang looked back at Xia Jianxiang angrily, but didn't say anything. She turned back and said to Mo Yuyang with a smile, "Your Highness, my sister is ignorant, please don't blame her."

"Haha, it's okay. It seems that your sister hasn't reached the age of marriage yet, right?" Mo Yuyang laughed heartily and asked again.

"Your Highness, yes, my sister just came of age this winter, so she is still young. Today, Madam asked me to bring her out to see the world." With just a few words, Xia Pinxiang killed most of Xia Jianxiang's chances of marrying up the social ladder.

Mo Yuyang nodded in understanding.

Xia Yanxiang had no intention of communicating with Mo Yuyang and the others, so she just told her servant Wuyi to do other things.

But she always felt that someone was staring at her, but when she turned around, there was no one there.

"Third sister!" Xia Yanxiang had never thought of attacking Mo Fuyang today. At this moment, Mo Fuyang didn't notice her. She was about to walk aside with Xia Qianxiang, but Xia Pinxiang suddenly called her.

Now Mo Yuyang, Mo Yuchen and Mo Yuxuan all turned around and looked at Xia Yanxiang. She couldn't leave even if she wanted to.

Xia Yanxiang walked over patiently, her face still calm, and bowed to Mo Yuyang and the other two.

"Third sister, where are you going?" Even though Xia Pinxiang had never expected Xia Yanxiang to come today, she could only put on a smile and ask Xia Yanxiang like a gentle sister.

Xia Yanxiang just thought it was funny. Xia Pinxiang had been smiling outside all day, and she didn't know if she was tired. "Second sister, isn't it an outing today? Sixth sister and I have an appointment to pick flowers together. Sixth sister hasn't reached the age of marriage yet, so there's no need to rush to meet her."

"What about the Third Miss? Today is a good day for unmarried men and women to meet each other. Didn't the Third Miss say so? Why does she want to pick flowers with the Sixth Miss again?" Mo Yuchen and Mo Yuxuan didn't say anything. Instead, Mo Yuyang seemed to be a chatterbox.

Xia Yanxiang didn't want to pay attention to him at all, she just perfunctorily said: "Your Highness, marriage is decided by parents, how can I interfere? All I can do is pray that I will meet the right person. Fate is not something a daughter of a good family should talk about. My sister is still young, I will spend more time with her."

It seemed that Xia Yanxiang was explaining, but in fact, one could tell that she was just mocking someone with ulterior motives.

Xia Pinxiang's face flashed with embarrassment, but it disappeared in an instant, and she put on a smile again, and quickly sent Xia Yanxiang away: "Then the third sister should play well with the sixth sister!"

Xia Yanxiang finally had a smile on her face. She bowed and said to Mo Yuyang and the others, "Then I will take my leave first."

Turning around, Xia Yanxiang no longer hid her smile and took Xia Qianxiang away with her.

Xia Yanxiang smiled, but unlike a faint smile, there was an imperceptible sense of satisfaction in her eyes.

Your Highness Prince Yuan, I have given you a gift for meeting you. Please enjoy it.
