Chapter 19: Stunning the Audience

came here today to tell you, I, the one I want to marry is you!"Xiao Yuge secretly sneered, but on her face, she looked very puzzled: "Why You and your sister are the ones who truly love each other. Y...At the same time, a powerful internal force swept out from the side. The tea water that was originally splashed towards the Xiao sisters unexpectedly flowed back to the palace maid as if under a spell! This all happened too quickly, so fast that everyone didn't have time to react. All they heard was the palace maid let out a scream, and then everyone saw her covering her face and lying on the ground, wailing in pain. 。"Fu'er, Ge'er, are you alright" Qiansid Chen was the first to arrive by Xiao Yu Ge and their side. 。"It's nothing" 。 。While Xiao Yufu had already been frightened out of her wits, she was still trembling in Xiao Yu Ge's arms, unable to utter a word. 。Xiao Yu Ge originally thought it was Qian Si Chen who made the move, but seeing Qian Si Chen's expression, she confirmed that the person who had just acted wasn't him. But then who was it Could it be...She unconsciously looked towards Qian Ting Xuan, but found that he was currently holding a cup of tea and sipping it calmly, looking composed and indifferent as if everything happening here had nothing to do with him. 。Xiao Yu Ge estimated the distance, based on Qian Ting Xuan's location, it was completely possible to do so. However, it also required a profound and powerful internal energy, it seemed that this man's martial arts were far superior to hers. Just with her current skill, she was critically injured. If he really wanted to kill her to silence her, then she might not even have the chance to resist. 。At this time, the entire hall was filled with the cries of the palace maids. It was scalding tea water, it seemed that her little face was ruined. 。"Come here! Take her away and call for a physician to have a good look at her!" At this time, the Empress, who had regained her composure, ordered someone to take the wailing maidservant away. She then asked Xiao Yuge and the others if they were injured. After confirming that they were unharmed, she instructed the banquet to continue. 。Xiao Yu Ge secretly observed everyone's expressions, thinking that what just happened was definitely not accidental. She wanted to see who was secretly instigating all this, but after looking around, it seemed there were no answers. 。 The banquet was still in progress, and no one's mood had been affected by the recent little incident. Those noble ladies had prepared for this banquet early on, eager to display their talents. After all, the prince was present. If he took notice of them, even becoming a concubine would be like soaring to heights, transforming from a common bird into a phoenix. Little did they know, Qian Sichin's heart was solely focused on Xiao Yufu and wouldn't spare a glance at any other woman. 。And the first to take the stage was Jiang Shufei's niece, Jiang Zhiyi. On the surface, she lived up to her name and appeared to be a gentle and understanding young lady. She gracefully and calmly played a piece titled "Phoenix in Captivity" on the piano. The exquisite and beautiful music captivated the audience, leaving them entranced. As the song ended, its lingering melody echoed through the hall, and thunderous applause erupted from the crowd. 。One by one, the ladies took to the stage. Even Princess Ning Hua, known for her wisdom and grace, began her performance. As the musicians played, she gracefully danced. It must be said that Princess Ning Hua was a little older than the other noblewomen, but her dance was still very good. 。After the dance, everyone burst into thunderous applause. She was secretly pleased with herself. As soon as she sat down, she said cheekily, "I heard that Miss Xiao of the Xiao family practiced day and night for today's performance, aiming to outshine everyone else. It's rumored that Miss Xiao is proficient in everything from qin (zither), chess, calligraphy, and painting. Her dance is also excellent. Perhaps we can open our eyes today" 。As soon as she finished speaking, the people around her immediately joined in the clamor. Naturally, it was those noble ladies who were unwilling to accept it, wanting to see what was so special about Xiao Yufu that she had won the favor of the Crown Prince to such a degree. 。At this moment, Xiao Yufu had already recovered from her shock. She stood up gracefully and curtsied to the Empress: "Your Majesty, my younger sister and I did indeed choreograph a dance earlier intending to present it to you today. However, because my younger sister was seriously injured a few days ago and has yet to fully recover..." "Sister, my injury is fine," 。"Xiao Yu Ge hurriedly stood up and interrupted her, she knew, Xiao Yu Fu had been practicing day and night for this very moment. She wanted to take advantage of Xiao Yu Ge's injury and go up alone. This little thoughtfulness, in her past life, Xiao Yu Ge hadn't been able to see through it, but after living a second life, she was wide awake." 。"I've long heard that Miss Xiao is exceptionally talented in dancing, but I never knew Miss Xiao would also dance. It seems like we're truly fortunate to witness this today." 。“Someone must have said this, now even if Xiao Yufu doesn’t allow Xiao Yuge to take the stage, it can’t be helped. Of course, in this capital city, everyone knows that Xiao Yuge dances very badly. They are egging her on to go up just to see her make a fool of herself.” 。"But, her wound..." Ning Hua didn't expect that she pushed Xiao Yu Fu onto the stage and ended up involving Xiao Yu Ge. Just now, looking at the wounds on Xiao Yu Ge's body, she was scared herself, naturally knowing how painful it was. This dance involved using the whole body, wouldn't the wound just crack open againXiao Yu Ge merely lightly raised her eyes to glance at her, and she immediately shut her mouth obediently. 。This scene happened to fall into Qian Tingxuan's eyes, he couldn't help but frown secretly. Ning Huada was known for being willful, but she was actually subdued by that girl with a light glance, it seemed this girl really had some skills. 。 "Ger, you still have wounds on your body. How about we just give up" 。Onlookers were surprised to see Qian Si Chen, for the first time ever, showing concern for Xiao Yu Ge. People assumed he was worried that Xiao Yu Ge would embarrass him onstage, after all, she was now carrying the title of future Crown Princess – any embarrassment on her part would reflect poorly on the royal family. 。"Yes, Ge'er, your wounds aren't fully healed. If you can't, don't force yourself." 。The Empress was also worried about her injuries. 。"Your Majesty, rest assured, this servant has everything under control." 。“The wound is just bandaged, it’s just a little dance, shouldn't be any problems. If she wants revenge, she has to dance this one, and she has to dance it well.” 。When the two sisters put on their dance costumes and came to the hall together, everyone stared in unison. Xiao Yufu was usually dressed delicately, but in this dance costume, she was even more dazzling. Xiao Yu Ge was used to being wild and comfortable in her clothes, never dressing up as carefully as she did now. Therefore, when she appeared, she amazed everyone, attracting all eyes. 。Xiao Yufu had a great figure, but no matter how you looked at it, she gave people a weak and sickly feeling. However, Xiao Yuge was the opposite. Her whole body was full of wild beauty. Her waist was just right; one more inch would be fat, one less would be thin. Under the outline of the dance clothes, her curves were graceful and charming. Who would have thought that this seemingly inconspicuous country girl would be so beautiful and alluring In an instant, she attracted countless envious and jealous glances. 。Even Qian Si Chen, who usually didn't even look at her directly, was stunned. His mind involuntarily flashed back to yesterday's scene, and he inexplicably felt his heart beat faster. 。> her with a strange look: "If you want to find a girl to try, why bother going to Chunxiang Building There's a ready-made little beauty in front of me, why go far" As soon as the words fell, he hooked...
