Chapter 69 Prelude to Borrowing a Knife to Kill

  Bai Ruo Xi no longer paid attention to Yun Jing Hua, and began introducing the scenery of the mansion to the people behind her. The corners of her mouth were always curved upwards in a happy smile, and her face radiated a dazzling light that captivated everyone's eyes.

  It was said that it was for everyone's introduction, but in fact, it should be specially introduced to Yun Jingchu, because others had more or less come to the Ningguo Gongfu and understood a thing or two about the scenery in the mansion.

  Yun Suiyu noticed that Bai Ruoxi's gaze would always linger on Yun Jingchu's face, seemingly unintentionally. Although her face was filled with a gentle smile, her fingers were clenched tightly into her palm.

  "Huh? Brother, the young masters and misses of the Yun family have arrived?" Suddenly, a crisp voice came, a girl wearing a pale green skirt walked towards them with a bright and clean smile on her face. "I've seen all the others, I suppose this must be Jingchu, whom I haven't met yet." She said, walking up to Yun Jingchu's side and warmly grasping her hand.

  Yun Sai's suspicions about Bai Ruo Xue liking Yun Jing Chu grew stronger.

  This green-robed girl is Bai Ruoxi's sister, who extremely admires her own brother and takes all of his preferences as her own. Now seeing her being so affectionate with Yun Jingchu, whom she has never met before, it must be that she had already learned from her brother that he likes Yun Jingchu.

  They soon arrived at the banquet venue.

  The banquet was held on a large lawn by the lake. In front of it, there is a vast expanse of lake with lotus flowers all over its surface, and on the other three sides are sparse flowers and trees.

  When Yun Jingchu and others arrived, many young masters and ladies from prestigious families had already arrived. They were chatting in groups of three or five, either sitting or standing.

  The five siblings of the Yun family were led to their respective seats, and Bai Ruoxue left, but Bai Rulan stayed behind, sitting next to Yun Jingchu and chatting warmly with her.

  The conversation was roughly about what food you like, what color, where to play usually, and then started inviting Yun Jingchu to come to Ningguo Gongfu often.

  Yun Saiyu listened on the side, wanting to interrupt several times but couldn't get a word in edgewise. Yun Jingchu played the role of a naive and silly girl, answering one question from Bai Ruolan at a time.

  Suddenly, a loud announcement sounded: "Princess Jianning has arrived!"

  Everyone's chatting voices stopped, all looking in the same direction. On the garden path leading here, a red-clothed girl with a dignified and elegant appearance, like a peony, walked quickly, with a hint of urgency and excitement on her face. It was Jian Ning Gong Zhu, the most willful princess of the imperial family.

  Jianning Princess is the current emperor's half-sister, her mother, Empress Li, only has this one daughter, so she didn't get involved in the struggle for the throne back then. In the early years, when Empress Li first entered the palace, she had a favor to ask of Dongfang Chen, so after Dongfang Chen ascended to the throne, he treated Jianning Princess and her mother with great love and gave them many special privileges.

  "Brother Xi, you're hosting a banquet, why didn't you send me an invitation?" Princess Jian Ning walked up to Bai Ruoxi with big strides, pouting her lips in distress.

  "Didn't the princess tell you to stay in the palace and not run around during this time?" Bai Ruoxue's face stiffened for a moment, but she quickly covered it up. As for Jian Ning, she was always at a loss as to how to deal with him.

  Li Tai Fei and his mother were close sisters, so Jian Ning Gong Zhu and he were cousins. From a young age, he was entangled with this stubborn cousin of his.

  "I knew it was my mother who said something to you. I don't care, I must attend your banquet today." Princess Jianning pulled on Bai Ruoxue's arm, shaking it back and forth in a spoiled manner.

  "Alright, alright... I can't outdo you. You've come all this way, how could I possibly ask you to leave? Someone, bring a chair for the princess." Bai Ruoxi instructed the busy servants.

  On the other side, Yun Xiao's eyes flashed with light, and she suddenly stood up, bowed to Princess Jianning, and smiled: "Princess, come over here, Miss Yulan is also here, we can chat."

  Jianning gave Yunshui Yu a cold glance, raised her chin proudly and said, "This palace has no good feelings towards the people of the Yun family. Ruo Lan, come over here quickly." Jianning beckoned to Bai Ruolan.

  Her eyes sparkled slightly, and there was no hint of unhappiness on her face. Instead, she smiled mysteriously: "The princess really isn't coming? I know who Brother Ruoxi likes! I'm just about to confirm with Rouran."
