The woman in the jade-colored floral crepe dress was tall and had fair skin. She had an oval-shaped face and almond-shaped eyes. She held a bamboo fan in her hand and her proud twin peaks were very eye-catching. Her expression was also extremely arrogant. The woman in the brocade red flower tube top appeared much gentler. Her facial features were exquisite, and her eyes were gentle as she looked around. She was very petite and cute. The most eye-catching one was the woman wearing a five-colored brocade dress with golden embroidery. Her skin was smooth and her hands were soft. Her facial features were unusually distinct, and her eyes seemed to be able to melt water. One look at her and one would feel intoxicated. Was this the Second Miss that everyone was talking about?
" Ye…" Mu Xiyan turned around and found Ye Mingjin looking at her. She quickly averted her gaze and said,""Why aren't you looking at them? Three beauties!"
"Very ordinary." Ye Mingjin commented indifferently.
What the hell! Mu Xiyan pouted. She was obviously a great beauty, but why was she so ordinary? Had he seen a woman more beautiful than them?
"Alright, the civil and martial dual-stage competition begins now!”Xu Zhang ordered someone to move the chairs to the stage. The three young ladies sat down and set their own questions.
First, the arrogant woman stood up and bowed slightly. Her red lips opened slightly and she said,"This little girl Xu Peixuan pays her respects to all the young masters. This little girl has always loved peonies, so please write a poem with peonies as the theme.”
"I'm Zhang Jing, and I'm willing to compose a poem for Miss Xu.”As soon as he finished speaking, a man in a brown robe stood out.
"Young Master, please." Xu Peixuan still had an arrogant expression on her face. She didn't even look up.
"I hope you will be warm in the wind and rain, and I hope you will be happy under the moon during the festival. In the courtyard of leisure to watch the wild goose, wearing peony dream to meet.”Zhang Jing waved the fan in his hand and paced around.
Everyone clapped and cheered. Zhang Jing's face was filled with satisfaction.
"A sea of brilliant purple and red, with a touch of green and tender beauty in it. Her jade-like body swayed with her jade-like steps, only to be accompanied by the sea of flowers.”Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded. Mu Xiyan was stunned. Who else could it be but Situ Chengyan?
His hair was tied up, and he looked handsome. A playful smile appeared on his face as Situ Chengyan walked out of the crowd with a group of people. He stood in the crowd and exuded a different aura.
"Young Master." Xu Peixuan was pleasantly surprised to see such a good-looking man. She quickly put away her arrogant expression and bowed shyly. Even the other two women beside her had the same look. Official Xu was also overjoyed when he saw the newcomer. He knew the identity of the newcomer.
Situ Chengyan nodded at Xu Peixuan and said,"Sorry to disturb you, Official Xu. When I heard that Miss Xu used peony as a topic, I casually spoke.”
"This little one pays his respects to the emperor. It is this little one's great fortune for the emperor to come personally!”After saying that, he hurriedly pulled his three daughters to kneel together. Even the surrounding commoners knelt down. The scene was spectacular. When the three women heard their father say this, they were even more excited. On the wedding day, the emperor must leave the palace. Weren't they doing this tonight to attract the emperor to marry into the royal family?
"Oh? You know me?" Situ Chenyan was shocked and asked.
"Emperor, please forgive me. On that night of Qiao Xi, I was fortunate enough to see the emperor.”Xu Zhang replied. Situ Chengyan thought for a moment. He probably only found out about it after he exposed his identity the night he met Mu Xiyan.
"Forget it, get up." Situ Chenyan ordered when he saw everyone kneeling on the ground. Then, he turned his gaze to the three women and said,"Official Xu is really blessed. The three daughters are as beautiful as flowers, thousands of times better than others.”
"Thank you for your appreciation, emperor. If this little daughter can enter the emperor's eyes, then this little one will be blessed for three lifetimes.”Official Xu went straight to the point and did not dare to be ambiguous. If a daughter could enter the palace, it would also be a matter of glory for the family!
Situ Chenyan looked at the three women and fixed his eyes on Xu Ziying, the second daughter of the Xu family. He could not move his eyes away for a long time. Seeing this, Minister Xu smiled knowingly.
"What's your name?" Situ Chenyan could not help but ask.
The woman who was asked was shocked. She bowed slightly and replied nervously,"Your Majesty, I am Xu Ziying, the second daughter of the Xu family.”
"Since that's the case, I'm a small child." Situ Chenyan thought for a moment and ordered,"Xu Ziying, a gentle, virtuous, and virtuous woman, has 2,000 gold taels in the Xu Residence. She will be conferred the title of Chang Zai.”
"Thank you, Emperor! Thank you, Emperor! Ziying, quickly kowtow and thank me!" Official Xu was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth. He quickly said to the woman who was still in a daze.
"Thank you for your kindness, Emperor! Thank you for your kindness, Emperor!" Xu Ziying was pleasantly surprised. She did not expect to be able to enter the palace so soon. The other two young ladies were also jealous.
"The other two will be granted permission to enter the palace with Zhen. Since they are sisters, they will be given a place in the Hall of Harmony!”Situ Chengyan continued.
Official Xu's expression was indescribably happy. He had thought that only his second daughter could enter the palace. He did not expect that all three daughters could enter the palace. The remaining two were also pleasantly surprised and hurriedly thanked him. Although they did not have a higher status than Xu Ziying, they were all sisters. It was already very good that they could enter the palace.
The commoners were all watching and discussing Official Xu. They were all envious that all three of their daughters had become concubines overnight and enjoyed endless wealth! The man named Zhang Jing had already left. No matter how outstanding he was, he wouldn't dare to snatch the emperor's woman!
When Mu Xiyan saw that Situ Chengyan had become a concubine, she could not help but snort and laugh disdainfully. So what if he was handsome? How did she promise him that she would only dote on her back then?
Forget it. It had nothing to do with her anyway. Such a tyrant killed people without batting an eye. Thinking of Xiaoling's tragic death, Mu Xiyan felt a lump in her throat. She hated Situ Chengyan even more.
Ye Mingjin took in Mu Xiyan's expression. Looking at her angry and sad smile, he also became cold.
"Ye, marry me!" Mu Xiyan choked and suddenly stared at Ye Mingjin as she spoke seriously.
"Alright." Ye Mingjin looked at Mu Xiyan with a gentle gaze. Although he liked her, he had never dared to express it because of her two-colored eyes. The more he cared about her, the more afraid he was of taking advantage of her.
Minister Xu had achieved his goal. After Situ Chenyan left, everyone dispersed. The people were also talking about what happened tonight. Mu Xiyan put on her veil again and took the initiative to hand her hand over to Ye Mingjin. He took her hand and left the restaurant.
On the way, Mu Xiyan did not speak. Ye Mingjin said,""Yan 'er, why aren't you saying anything?"
"What is the marriage festival that Minister Xu mentioned just now?”Mu Xiyan asked hurriedly as she remembered what a big day it was today.
Ye Mingjin smiled and pulled Mu Xiyan to a place.""Follow me."
Mu Xiyan was curious and allowed Ye Mingjin to drag her to a crowded place.
