Reborn as a concubine's sister, the eldest lady went crazy

Xu Yixing recalled that Siqin said there were other princes in the prince's mansion that day. He thought they also knew about the message early on, and they would definitely ridicule Ying Wu when they saw him today.

Alas! Poor Yingwu!

Xu Yixing looked at Ying Wu through the gap. He shook his head slightly to indicate that everything was fine. Xu Yixing didn't say anything more.

Several princes looked at Xu Yixing, with different expressions and thoughts on their faces, but everyone just maintained respect and face.

Xu Yixing came out from behind Lu Anyuan and bowed to everyone: "Your Highnesses, it's the first time we meet. I wish you all a happy Dragon Boat Festival and all the best." After that, he went back to the bridge, not admitting his mistake at all.

The fourth prince looked at her leaving figure and said, "Seventh brother, this is my future sister-in-law. She's tough enough."

Lu Anyuan was unhappy: "Is fierce a word used to describe women? Fourth brother, don't tease her."

The fourth prince raised his eyebrows and shut up, but his eyes still showed his resentment. I was obviously standing up for you, why are you talking about me instead? Humph! Marrying such a troublesome prince consort, your future life will be difficult, seventh brother.

The sound of stringed instruments began to sound again on the shore, and several other princes came up to help, and went to play the activities they were good at together.

When Xu Yixing returned to the pavilion in the middle of the lake, the attitudes of the people around her seemed to have changed. From being silent when she first came, they now came over one after another to greet her. She didn't know why these people had changed so much.

In fact, it was because the ladies of various families, seeing the Seventh Prince defending Miss Xu, naturally wanted to curry favor with the future Seventh Prince's wife. So much so that the two blushes on her face did not seem so annoying in their eyes.

The Dragon Boat Festival banquet at Prince Cheng's Mansion was still a bit boring. Although there were various small games for everyone to choose from, the female guests were just making some small toys and competing to see whose child was more dexterous.

Xu Yixing had clumsy hands and was not good at manual work, so he could only sit there with his head down and taste the pastries in the snack box, which were tasteless.

There were more male activities on the shore, but after all, they were in the mansion, so they couldn't play competitive games. They would just copy some sour poems from time to time and send them to the pavilion in the middle of the lake to please the noble ladies there, or to satisfy their vanity in the hope of being admired and praised.

Xu Yixing didn't see the poem written by Lu Anyuan, and he didn't know whether he was hiding his talent intentionally or he was really not familiar with poetry. But today, the Sixth Prince didn't write a poem either, maybe because he has been famous for a long time and doesn't want to steal the limelight from others.

Xu Yixing looked at the shore from time to time, and suddenly saw a familiar figure. He silently retracted his head and turned his back to the shore.

"Why is Sun Ziyou here today?" She asked Siqin in a low voice.

"It's not surprising that people from the Duke's Mansion are coming to host a banquet at Prince Cheng's Mansion."

"Well, I just think that my sister has been sick all the time, and he comes here to show off. He has no conscience at all."

"Then we can't let the Sun Mansion cut off contact with the outside world just because of the eldest lady, right?"

Xu Yixing rolled her eyes. Even if what Siqin said was true, she just didn't like her grandson You. The murderer could still live freely every day, but she, the victim, had to live cautiously. Damn it!

"Wow, look!"

Someone shouted, and everyone turned their heads to look at the water in the middle of the lake. Suddenly, a small boat came on the lake. It was decorated and it looked like it was going to perform for everyone.

Xu Yixing finally became interested. Although it was not as ethereal as what Lu Anyuan had described as watching the fairies under the moon, it was still interesting.

The music now matched the boat's sound, changing from pure string and bamboo sounds to include some crisp zither sounds.

The boat slowly approached and finally stopped between the pavilion in the middle of the lake and the shore, forming a triangle to ensure that both male and female guests could see it.

At this time, a person stood at the bow, half-masked, and as the boat stopped, he gently swung his limbs and danced to the beat. In the background, there was a girl's chorus of a little song, so soft that you couldn't even hear the lyrics clearly, like a whisper in a dream.

Xu Yixing was not good at dancing, but he could see that the woman's body was really flexible. She danced all the way from the bow to the center of the ship as if she had no bones and just floated across.

"This dancer is amazing. To get such a good figure, she must have practiced a lot." Xu Yixing sighed from afar, knowing in his heart that this dancer was probably a gift from someone important, specially to show her face.

Siqin was also watching, even more fascinated than Xu Yixing: "Such a beautiful dancer, but I don't know whose family she belongs to?"

Xu Yixing turned his head and glanced at Princess Cheng, who was also watching attentively in the main seat. This dancer should not be from the Cheng Palace. The two masters of the Cheng Palace both liked musical instruments but were not interested in dancing.

I'm afraid someone wants to present it to Prince Cheng, but that's not certain. All the princes are here today, and there are many people hoping to curry favor with him.

"Well, that seems to be Sister Xueyan, right?" This was said by a little girl in the pavilion, and was immediately stopped by her parents.

"Nonsense! This is a dancer, how could she be Miss Wu San? Don't make the mistake!"

Wu Xueyan? She looks familiar, but I can't remember where.

However, at this time, people in the pavilion also started talking about it. Several ladies who were familiar with Miss Wu nodded secretly, saying that they did look very similar.

"Who is Wu Xueyan? She looks very familiar to me." Xu Yixing pulled Siqin closer and asked in a low voice.

"She is the third daughter of the Wu family of the City Defense Department. She was rumored in the capital for a long time three years ago."

"Oh! I remember now. Wu Xueyan was the girl who competed with my sister in horseback volley shooting three years ago and was thrown off the horse and injured her legs and feet, right?"

"Yes, but you never go to the horse farm, so you have never seen her."

Until this moment when the dance was over, the woman's veil fell off at the right time. I don't know whether it was designed or a coincidence.

"Oh, it's really Miss Wu!"

This time everyone saw her face clearly, and it was indeed the Third Miss. Everyone present was quite disdainful. This Miss Wu had been famous for a long time, and had disappeared for a while. Unexpectedly, she appeared in front of everyone again today.

But no matter what, it is not a glorious thing for a daughter of an official to appear in public and act like a dancer for everyone's entertainment.

I really don't know whether Old Wu knew about it. If he knew but didn't stop it, that would be too despicable. If he didn't know, who arranged Miss Wu's dance today and what was going on?

After Miss Wu San finished her dance, the boat slowly rowed away, but it did not leave or go to the pavilion in the middle of the lake. Instead, it went straight to the shore. Under the puzzled gazes of everyone, she helped her maid get off the boat.
