Chapter 337 Banquet Performance
Seeing that Ziyun was exaggerating more and more, the Crown Princess quickly told him to stop.
However, she was genuinely pleased. No one would be angry if they were flattered from head to toe.
All I can say is that this Ziyun Langjun is something else.
"What were you talking about just now?" The Crown Princess seemed to be asking Ziyun, but was actually looking at Yuechen.
Just now, when all the young men bowed together, she immediately spotted the handsome Yue Chen.
Ziyun had been keeping an eye on the Crown Princess, thinking she had taken a liking to him. However, when he noticed that she was secretly looking at Yuechen, his jealousy surged up again.
"Oh, it's nothing, just a reminder to Yuechen to be careful when he's with the Prince! Your Highness, you don't know, Yuechen is quite fond of the Prince!"
Ziyun exaggerated slightly, "You don't know, there have been many rumors in the streets about the Prince, and every time Yuechen Langjun hears them, he goes up to argue with people! The Prince is his idol!"
Upon hearing that it was someone who liked the princess, the crown princess immediately lost interest.
Well, she both loved and hated this imperial sister.
What she loved was that he had made outstanding military achievements, protecting the territory of the Phoenix Dynasty. She knew how difficult it was to fight on the battlefield and guard the border, but he did it very well.
Of course, the hatred was the same. Among all the princesses, only she was made crown princess, and only this younger sister was made prince.
Moreover, the Empress Dowager has said more than once that she is not as good as her younger sister. Every time she makes a mistake, the Empress Dowager will say, "If your younger sister were here, she would do this or that."
If it weren't for her seniority, she probably wouldn't have had the chance to become the Crown Princess.
"Hmm, my sister is a good prince!" The Crown Princess praised him against her conscience.
“What the Crown Princess says is true, and Yue Chen thinks so too!” Yue Chen’s eyes sparkled when she saw her idol being praised by the Crown Princess.
Looking at Yue Chen, the Crown Princess sighed inwardly, thinking that it was a waste to give such a beauty to her younger sister.
The Crown Princess even considered whether she could bring Yue Chen back, and Zi Yun Lang Jun immediately sensed it.
"Your Highness, Ziyun has specially prepared a dance to present to you!" he said with a hint of shyness.
"Alright, alright! Then let's watch Ziyun's dance together!"
The Crown Princess was very satisfied. Ziyun was also quite good. His mother was the Left Prime Minister, and if she could bring him into her household, it would be a great help to her career.
Soon everyone was seated in the garden, and Ziyun changed her clothes and began preparing for her dance.
Ji Xuan quietly found a corner to watch, and to be honest, Zi Yun's dancing was really not bad.
I've spun around so many times and I'm still not dizzy, but this outfit I'm wearing is so revealing, it's indecent, really indecent!
Ji Xuan thought it wasn't very good, but the Crown Princess was practically staring wide-eyed.
After all, Ziyun was targeting the Crown Princess, and all her seductive charm was aimed at her.
The other princesses were also tempted, but just by looking at the Crown Princess, they knew that she was also tempted, so naturally the princesses couldn't compete with the Crown Princess for her affections.
The Crown Princess now truly felt that Ziyun was quite good. Despite her serious appearance, she was actually attracted to this type of girl.
Passionate as fire, the Crown Princess wished she could immediately take Ziyun back to her residence, pin him down on the table, and ravage him mercilessly.
Ziyun, of course, also sensed the Crown Princess's fierce gaze and secretly felt smug.
This was deduced by his mother after she had someone inquire about it, and sure enough, it suited the Crown Princess's taste perfectly.
It can only be said that his position as Left Chancellor was not earned for nothing.
Ziyun had created such a lively atmosphere that the other young men naturally wanted to show off their talents as well.
The young man who was with Ziyun was also eager to try, and immediately raised his hand to perform a song for everyone.
He didn't ask for much; he couldn't catch the eye of the Crown Princess, but he would be happy if he could catch the eye of one of the other princesses.
Since they're all royalty, going anywhere means stepping into a life of wealth and luxury.
Believe it or not, a princess actually took a liking to him.
The other young men saw this and thought, "This won't do; all the opportunities have been snatched up."
So some people recited poems, some painted, some played musical instruments, and some danced, making the garden lively and bustling for a time.
Looking at the scene, Ji Xuan felt somewhat helpless. He had never been interested in such occasions and had said that the banquet was nothing new.
But his gaze unconsciously fell on Yue Chen again. The little fool was happily watching others perform, and occasionally clapping for them.
Just as the atmosphere in the garden was getting lively, a servant rushed over and whispered a few words in the Crown Princess's ear.
The Crown Princess's expression changed, and she stood up. "Everyone, I suddenly have urgent business to attend to. Today's banquet will have to end here, and we will meet again another day."
Although everyone was still somewhat reluctant to leave, they could only stand up and bow.
Ziyun was filled with resentment; his carefully prepared plan had not yet been fully implemented.
Yuechen was also a little disappointed. He was enjoying the show, but he never knew that these young men had so many talents.
The young man in the crimson robes was surprisingly skilled at the Hu Xuan dance, which initially attracted the attention of many people present. Yue Chen coldly observed that even the Crown Princess glanced at him several times.
The young man in blue beside him was also a skilled pipa player; his playing was truly "the large strings clanging like a sudden rainstorm, the small strings whispering like private words. The clanging and whispering sounds mingled together, like large and small pearls falling onto a jade plate."
Therefore, this young man also seems to have received praise from a princess.
Now that the Crown Princess has left, and the other princesses have also left, all the remaining young men are filled with regret.
Those young men who haven't yet showcased their talents feel they've missed out on so much.
Ziyun, still in a bad mood, started venting his anger on Yuechen, "Yuechen, when all the other gentlemen were performing, why didn't you go on stage? Did you look down on us?"
He had just seduced the Crown Princess, but she left just like that. How could Ziyun not be angry?
However, he figured the Crown Princess must have noticed him during that dance, and with that thought, he felt a little better.
"Yue Chen has no such idea."
"Since you don't have one, why not perform a song?" Ziyun said aggressively.
“Well then, I shall gladly accept your request. Ziyun will perform a sword dance for you gentlemen to enjoy.” Since someone had asked, Yuechen stepped forward.
Ji Xuan was now looking forward to it. The Crown Princess had left, but she hadn't. She wanted to see how well this little rabbit danced with her sword.
Upon seeing this, she was genuinely pleasantly surprised.
To everyone's surprise, Yue Chen's sword dance was incredibly fluid and graceful, his movements as elegant as a startled swan and as agile as a swimming dragon. Coupled with his extraordinary appearance, Ji Xuan was completely mesmerized.
Not only was Ji Xuan stunned, but the other young men present were also surprised. They never expected Yue Chen to dance with a sword so beautifully.
Ziyun Langjun's eyes blazed with fury, his teeth practically grinding with jealousy.
