The Shen family specially held a Qushui Liushang party today, which was extremely elegant.

Lin Yuanyue's eyes flickered slightly. She felt extremely uncomfortable while eating, but she still had to comfort Hua Meir beside her, "Sister Hua, I have caused you trouble."

What an idiot you are to have done this.

She was very dissatisfied in her heart, but when she thought about what her father had said, that Hua Meir would most likely become the prince's concubine in the future, she could only act good in front of her.

It doesn’t matter. Let’s put what happened just now in the past. She just needs to do something in the future to make up for her current reputation. For her future, she must be liked by these people. Suddenly, she remembered the holy monk next to her mother.

By the way, she also has a holy monk, and the ladies around her all believe in him. As long as she can make them trust her in this matter, then she would have no reason to worry about losing her future.

If Lin Yuanyue wants to be someone, she must be the most noble among the noble ladies.

"Sister Hua, why don't we go?" Lin Yuanyue said this, but her body did not show any sign of moving.

The beautiful lady shook her head, her expression changed from anger to shyness, her cheeks flushed with a blush that only belongs to a young girl, and she lowered her voice and said, "Wait a minute, the Ninth Prince will be here."

Ninth Prince?

Lin Yuanyue was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help feeling sour, but she could only clench the handkerchief in her hand and said, "Sister Hua is so lucky."

Although the Ninth Prince was not as noble as the Crown Prince, he was the son of His Majesty's most beloved concubine, so he had a high status among all the princes. He was made a king early on and had his own palace.

Hua Meiren was not as pretty as her, and her brain was not that good either, yet she was favored by the Ninth Prince. The resentment in her heart became even more intense, but she could not notice anything now. She could only try to suppress the injustice in her heart and face Hua Meiren with a smile.

"Really? Sister is so lucky, unlike my younger sister..." Lin Yuanyue paused here deliberately, and her whole person looked pitiful. "Sister, wait a moment, can you also follow me to see this noble person?"

The beautiful lady looked at her and said without hesitation, "Of course you can. There's no reason for us to be so formal."

"Thank you, Sister Hua. Only a sister would treat me like this." Lin Yuanyue said softly, her eyes reddened. "Sister Hua is so beautiful. I can't even compare to her."

When Hua Mei heard such compliments, she felt very proud. She patted her on the shoulder and whispered, "Oh, sister, you are also beautiful."

At this point, she couldn't help but say, "But your eldest sister is also very beautiful."

She didn't like Lin Xi, but she had to compliment her looks.

So what if I’m good-looking?

How can you live a good life without a good marriage?

"Yes, my elder sister is pretty too." The smile on Lin Yuanyue's lips froze for a moment, then returned to normal in an instant.

Hua Meiren thought for a moment, then leaned over to her ear and whispered, "If you really don't like her, just think of a way to get rid of her."

Lin Yuanyue looked at the fair face in front of her, hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "Sister Hua, do you have any solution?"

Hua Meiren said softly, "This is how the concubines in my house are treated."

······

Night falls.

The true purpose of this banquet was revealed.

The wife of the Duke of Zhenguo smiled and said, "It would be better to let the children take care of the feast. With us old people here, they can't do anything."

The people who could come were naturally carefully selected by her, but she felt a little angry when she thought that Lin Xi invited her, who was not presentable enough.

But when he turned around, he saw his daughter chatting and laughing with Lin Xi. His eyes became hot and he quickly went up to her and asked, "Qingran, you're out."

As she said this, she couldn't help but turn around and thank Lin Xi.

"Mom, I'm sorry to have worried you." Shen Qingran looked up, patted the back of her mother's hand, and said with interest, "I want to go play."

How could the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo not allow it? She wished that she could go out more often, so she quickly asked the two of them to go.

As soon as the two of them appeared at the table, the poetry club began, with men and women sitting at the same table, separated by a bamboo curtain.

The rule of the poetry club is that the previous person picks an item at random, and the next person writes a poem based on the previous person's item. After rounds of rounds, the most amazing person was Lin Yuanyue.

"I didn't expect that Miss Lin's poetry could be so good." The person who spoke was the ninth prince Zhao Zongze. He had come here today for the beautiful lady Hua, but he didn't expect to meet a girl who was good at poetry and songs.

But he didn't know what she looked like, and for the first time, Mr. Zhao wanted to lift the curtain.

Hua Meiren was somewhat displeased when she heard the Ninth Prince praising Lin Yuanyue. In the end, she did not think much about it, and the smile on her face faded, and she also distanced herself from Lin Yuanyue.

Hearing the Ninth Prince praising her, Lin Yuanyue was delighted and continued, "Thank you for your praise, Ninth Prince. I am overwhelmed."

The Ninth Prince was about to say something when he heard her voice again:

"I am not very strong in alcohol, so I will go change my clothes first."

Her voice was so weak and boneless that Mr. Zhao felt weak all over. Then he heard her say, "Go change clothes?"

What do you mean?

Is this a hint to him?

The Ninth Prince did not show any expression on his face, but he was overjoyed in his heart. As he watched the graceful figure leave, he pretended to be drunk and followed her. When he walked all the way behind the rockery, he heard another "Ouch" and hurried forward.

What he saw were clear eyes with a few tears in them, eyebrows like a crescent moon, and a closer look revealed her high nose bridge, red lips and white teeth, and a graceful figure like a slender willow. Her icy skin and delicate figure made his bones go weak.

Zhao Zongze hurried forward and asked softly, "Miss, what's wrong with you?"

Lin Yuanyue lowered her head, revealing a hint of spring light on her slender neck, tempting and alluring: "Sir, I sprained my ankle. Please go and call a nanny for me."

There was no one around here, so Zhao Zongze reached out and touched her arm. Seeing that she had no intention of refusing, he continued, "Why not, let me help you go back."

"No, if others see this, I..." Lin Yuanyue drooled and looked at him out of the corner of her eye.

The Ninth Prince looks like his mother, with a high nose bridge, handsome face, and heroic demeanor. No wonder so many young ladies in Kyoto love him.

Zhao Zong pretended to be angry, his eyes never leaving Lin Yuanyue, "Who dares? I am the prince."

A gentle smile appeared on his face, and the hand on Lin Yuanyue's arm became more presumptuous. He directly reached out and held her slender waist, and said in a low voice: "Anyone who dares to say bad things about you will be offended by this king."

"Over there, thank you, Your Highness." Lin Yuanyue took the initiative to stretch out her hand and hooked it around his neck. The lingering fragrance of orchid exhaled from her nose sprayed near him. Her fingers rubbed the skin on his neck intentionally or unintentionally.

However, this whole scene was seen by Lin Xi and Shen Qingran, as they happened to be standing at the highest point and had a clear view.
