“Eh? Which family’s young lady is that?” An obviously surprised voice suddenly sounded.
“I’m sure I’ve never seen her before. She’s so charming. If I’ve seen her before, I naturally wouldn’t forget her.” Another voice sounded in a low voice.
Meng Fuying’s hearing had always been excellent. Hearing those whispers, the corners of her lips could not help but curl into a mocking smile.
She also recognized that voice. One of them was Xuanyuan Mo, the man who had called her ugly.
The other was Xuanyuan Fan.
As they spoke, the two of them casually walked up to her. Meng Fuying still had hierhead slightly lowered, but when they saw Qing Zhu behind her, they were all stunned.
“Qing Zhu?” Xuanyuan Fan exclaimed in a low voice before looking at Meng Fuying in disbelief. “S-she’s Meng Fuying?”
His tone was one of complete disbelief. How could that fool, that ugly freak, have such charm?
“Fu’er pays respect to Eighth Prince and Ninth Prince.” Meng Fuying bowed in a manner that was neither servile nor overbearing. Her face was calm and her body exuded a transcendent aura, and there was even more graceful.
Xuanyuan Fan’s eyes widened again. Was it really her? His eyes flickered. It seemed like she was really different.
Xuanyuan Mo’s lips twitched as he recalled what happened at the Lord Hou’s Estate previously. He said coldly, “Hmph, do you think you’ll become a phoenix just by wearing a beautiful dress? Ugly people will always be ugly.”
Meng Fuying raised her eyes slightly and saw that he was actually wearing a brownish-green shirt today, with an extremely ostentatious pattern embroidered on it. She couldn’t help but secretly laugh. Her red lips moved slightly, and she slowly said, “Of course, it can’t compare to the Ninth Prince’s…” She deliberately paused, and after seemingly taking a long breath, she continued, “Peacock spreading its tail.”
Xuanyuan Mo and Xuanyuan Fan were both stunned. Qing Zhu, on the other hand, had gotten used to the way she spoke these days and understood what was going on. Her lips twitched a few times, but she did not dare to laugh. She could only hold it in.
“Ninth Brother, she seems to be scolding you.” Xuanyuan Fan chuckled after he regained his senses.
“You, you ugly freak. How dare you call me a peacock?” After Xuanyuan Mo regained his senses, he could not help but scold angrily. However, Meng Fuying had already walked several meters away.
As Xuanyuan Fan watched her leave, a strange look flashed across his eyes.
When she walked into the main hall…
The moment she walked into the hall, everyone looked at her in shock. The men’s eyes flashed with surprise, while the women’s eyes were filled with jealousy.
The clothes she was wearing were made by the most famous master in the Xuanyuan Dynasty. That master was already over sixty years old and had a strange temper. It was said that he had already stopped making clothes. Right now, only the empress dowager could hire him. He definitely wouldn’t accept other people’s clothes.
Hence, the clothes on her were probably something that one could not buy even if they had money.
“Hmph, isn’t it just a piece of clothing? What’s so great about it? That piece of clothing will definitely look a hundred times better on me than her.” A woman’s low voice rang out with obvious jealousy.
Meng Fuying sneered in her heart, but she paid no attention to those gazes and those jealous discussions as she slowly walked forward.
That coldness and casualness made those women’s eyes even more resentful and jealous.
When Meng Ruxue looked at her, there was a hint of jealousy in her eyes, but she quickly concealed it. Then, she walked forward with a smile. “Little Sister is finally here. Come and sit.”
As she spoke, she wanted to hold Meng Fuying’s hand.
One who was unaccountably solicitous was usually hiding evil intentions. This Meng Ruxue had been overly enthusiastic towards her these few days.
Meng Fuying narrowed her eyes and avoided her without leaving a trace. Then, she walked to the seat that had been arranged for her.
Meng Ruxue’s expression stiffened for a moment, but then she pretended that nothing had happened and returned to her seat with a smile.
She and Meng Fuying were sisters, so they naturally sat together on such an occasion.
As soon as she sat down, she felt a cold and sharp gaze directed at her. To be exact, it wasn’t directed at her, but at Meng Ruxue. She had just been unfortunately swept away.
However, just being swept by it had such powerful destructive power!
Meng Fuying raised her eyes slightly. When she met that gaze, her heart could not help but tremble slightly. That gaze was as sharp as a hungry eagle. It was ice-cold and carried a bloodthirsty ruthlessness. He looked at Meng Ruxue as if he wanted to hack her into pieces.
This person was very unfamiliar in her original memories, but looking at where he sat and his attire, it was not difficult for Meng Fuying to guess his identity.
He should be the crown prince of the Xuanyuan Dynasty, Xuanyuan Lie.
Just that gaze alone made Meng Fuying understand that this person was definitely a ruthless character. Born in the royal family, he was definitely the kind of person who would kill his brother and father for the throne.
The crown prince had been away for many years and rarely returned to the capital. This time, he actually specially rushed back?
Under his gaze, it was difficult for Meng Ruxue to maintain her usual disguise. Her body could not help but tremble slightly.
Meng Fuying’s eyes flashed with an amused smile. Was there something going on between the crown prince and Meng Ruxue?
However, since Meng Ruxue had the halo that allowed her to rule the world, the Crown Prince’s reaction was normal.
However, the Crown Prince was born at the wrong time. He was already 36 years old today. Back then, Meng Ruxue was only two or three years old when he chose his concubine. There was no use being angry.
Ha…
In the man’s heart…
Women? The world? In the end, there was only the world.
Women were ultimately sad in this society.
Therefore, she was very glad about the disguise on her face at this moment. If it wasn’t for the disguise on her face, if it wasn’t for the many years of stupidity, Meng Ruxue’s sorrow today might have landed on her.
She was free now and could choose her own happiness.
Ha. Freedom. How nice.
However, when she saw Bai Yichen walking in with Xuanyuan Fan, she could not help but be stunned. Why would Bai Yichen appear at such an occasion?
Thinking about it carefully, it made sense. Bai Yiyu had also come for the concubine selection ceremony. He probably accompanied Bai Yiyu.
She did not think too much about it.
It was almost time. The emperor and empress had already arrived, but the main character of the day still hadn’t appeared.
This lord was indeed arrogant.
As she was thinking, she heard the eunuch outside shout, “Seventh Prince is here.”
The entire hall instantly fell silent. Everyone’s eyes turned to the door as Meng Fuying also slowly looked over.
When he appeared outside the door dressed in white, everyone was stunned.
His tall figure appeared even more slender under the sunlight. The faint sunlight shone on his side, making him look like a god that had descended to the mortal world. Even the sunlight seemed to have been stolen away by him..
