Chu Jiaoli felt the very unkind look in her eyes and frowned slightly. She thought it was because she saw a woman next to Beigong Tengxiao and felt jealous.
She knew that Hua Yuejin didn't have a good temper, but he was no worse than her.
Seeing Hua Yuejin's clumsy dance moves and frequent mistakes, Chu Jiaoli narrowed her peach blossom eyes slightly.
Regardless of appearance, figure, dance moves, and voice, Hua Yuejin is not as good as her in everything. I don’t know how the bastard Beigong Tengxiao fell in love with her later...
If she is jealous of the perfect Xiang Yini, then she can only be unwilling to accept this Hua Yuejin.
Bei Gonglie's smile faded along with her awkward dance steps, and his expression gradually became serious.
Looking at Bei Gonglie's expression, the Minister of Rites looked at his daughter who was severely dysfunctional. He was frightened and frightened, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
If I had known earlier, I would not have brought her out to embarrass myself.
At this time, Hua Yuejin's mind was not on Bei Gonglie. She glanced at Chu Jiaoli again. When she saw the disdainful look, she became even more frightened.
She was always like this, never taking her seriously, being so disdainful, so condescending...
While she was distracted, she sprained her foot, stumbled and fell to the ground.
When Bei Gonglie saw her lying on the ground, he frowned angrily. He patted the armrest of the seat with a strong palm and said in a low voice: "It's really ridiculous. I have never seen it before."
Such an ugly dance.”
Hua Yuejin turned pale with fright, and immediately knelt down and kowtowed to Bei Gong Lie and Bei Gong Tengxiao: "Your Majesty, forgive me! Your Highness, the Crown Prince, forgive me! I didn't do it on purpose!"
The Minister of Etiquette also hurriedly rushed forward, and after holding on to the official hat that was about to fall off, he knelt down and said in horror: "Your Majesty, forgive me, it was my daughter who ruined your elegance. I caught a cold a few days ago, so..."
"That's all." Bei Gonglie raised his hand impatiently and said, "Go back to your seat."
"Yes." The father and daughter did not dare to breathe or say another word, and returned to their seats dejectedly.
Hua Yuejin held the cup with trembling hands and took a sip of tea to calm down her nervous mood.
She looked at Chu Jiaoli with a bit of hatred. If this annoying woman hadn't appeared here for no reason, how would she have missed this perfect opportunity?
Chu Jiaoli glanced lightly from the corner of her eye and slowly lowered her eyes. If she looked at her again, she might suffer.
However, Chu Jiaoli didn't understand what had offended her at this time. Even though she was closest to Beigong Tengxiao, shouldn't Hua Yuejin's hatred be directed at those beauties who dance more gracefully than her?
Before he thought too much, he heard Bei Gonglie's calm voice: "Next."
Seeing Xiang Yini stand up, Chu Jiaoli's eyes slowly darkened. As expected, she was so glamorous that she stepped onto the stage.
With a well-placed smile, Xiang Yini calmly saluted Beigong Tengxiao and said, "My daughter, Xiang Yini, pays homage to His Highness the Crown Prince."
"Yeah." Beigong Tengxiao responded calmly, lowered his head and took a sip of tea.
This reaction surprised Chu Jiaoli. A trace of surprise flashed across her eyes. Isn't Xiang Yini very important to Beigong Tengxiao?
Even when they met for the first time, she was the most special and eye-catching among all the courtiers, yet she didn't seem to care at all when looking at his reaction.
He calmly looked at Xiang Yini's extraordinary dancing skills, but he did not feel any shock. On the contrary, all the courtiers looked at her with envy and jealousy.
Beigong Tengxiao tilted his head slightly and asked Chu Jiaoli, "Can you dance?"
Hearing this, Chu Jiaoli was slightly dazed and looked up at Xiang Yini. Although her dancing was excellent, she was still a little inferior to her.
Recalling the time when Zhao was fascinated by her graceful dancing, he looked up to her in Zhao's house.
The first time she met Bei Gong Lie, she danced a stunning dance with Chu Jiao As the princess.
She suppressed the pride that flashed through her mind and said calmly: "I don't know how to do that."
Hearing this, a trace of frustration flashed in Beigong Tengxiao's eyes, and he said: "That's such a pity. If you can, I still want you to dance a song."
Chu Jiaoli showed a faint smile and said, "I'm sorry to disappoint His Highness."
If she had been in the previous life, she would have gone crazy and stole the show, and it would not be their turn to be jealous of Xiang Yini.
But...what's wrong with Beigong Tengxiao marrying Xiang Yini?
Even though Beigong Tengxiao has no intention of competing for the throne, he was born in an imperial family after all. If Beigong Qianqiu usurps the throne and ascends to the throne, will his end really be good?
The Marquis Xiang Qianting is very powerful. Only when he marries Xiang Yini will Xiang Qianting fully support him. Moreover, Xiang Yini is so virtuous and virtuous. Probably no man in the world would reject such a wife...
"Hou Xiang, your daughter is becoming more and more beautiful." Bei Gonglie praised.
Hearing this, Xiang Qanting immediately burst into laughter. With so many court ladies, Bei Gonglie only praised his daughter. It seemed like something was going on.
"Your Majesty, Yini has always been my favorite daughter. She is the best among my three daughters in terms of appearance, character, music, chess, calligraphy and painting."
Bei Gonglie looked at the butterfly-like dance, nodded with satisfaction, and said: "It is indispensable that you have worked so hard to cultivate it."
"Your Majesty is so complimentary."
Xiang Yini, who was listening to everyone's praise, remained calm and composed. She grew up in an environment surrounded by stars since she was a child. The most important thing she never lacks is praise.
No matter what she does, she is almost perfect.
Chu Jiaoli looked at such an outstanding woman with a slightly helpless expression.
No matter how many times she comes back to life, she will never be able to compare with her...
"Prince, what do you think?" When Bei Gong Lie turned his attention to Bei Gong Tengxiao again, he saw that he was napping again. He frowned in displeasure and coughed heavily.
Beigong Tengxiao sobered up a little and replied: "Miss Xiang is an outstanding girl."
After finishing the dance, Xiang Yini smiled calmly, bowed to Beigong Lie and Beigong Tengxiao each, and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your compliments."
As the banquet came to an end, the courtiers and Bei Gonglie chatted for a while about family issues, then ended the topic and everyone left.
Bei Gong Tengxiao breathed out softly as if he was relieved. Before he left, he heard Bei Gong Lie calling: "Prince, you stay."
"Yes." Beigong Tengxiao turned around, turned his head and said to Chu Jiaoli, "You should know the way, right? Go back to Muyang Palace first."
"Yes." A trace of loneliness flashed across Chu Jiaoli's eyes, she bowed her head in response, and left.
Bei Gonglie should let him make a choice. To put it more bluntly, he should let him make a marriage contract with Xiang Yini...
It was not a good feeling at all to witness him and Xiang Yiyi getting married, with the piano and the harp playing in harmony.
