The Reborn Noble Girl Is Hard To Find

Chapter 38 : Victory Dance

When the Emperor spoke, the ministers dared not show their complaints. Han Yan looked around and saw that the ladies were all looking happy and expectant. After thinking about it, she felt relieved.

This so-called talent competition between the ladies, in front of so many famous young men, is to win face and a good reputation, and even have the possibility of marrying into a rich family. For concubines who want to change their fate, it is a great opportunity. For the ladies of noble status, it is also a test of their marriage.

Zhuang Yu Shan clenched her fists excitedly and kept glancing at the male relatives. Han Yan noticed that her eyes kept lingering on Prince Xuan Qing and He Lian Yu.

Han Yan sneered in her heart. What are the identities of those two? If Zhuang Yu Shan wanted to hook up with them and become their concubine, she had to see if she was qualified enough.

Li Jia Qi, however, looked determined to win. Noticing Han Yan's gaze, she couldn't help but provoke: "Miss Zhuang is so relaxed, she must have some great talent."

Han Yan was completely confused. She was just the daughter of a third-rank minister. It was not her turn to be in the limelight. As for her talent, Han Yan felt that it was unnecessary to show it off. She was not an actor who entertained people. Why should she rush to show off? She smiled and said, "I don't have any talent. I can't compare Miss Li's amazing talent."

Li Jia Qi looked at her with disdain and pretended to be surprised and said, "Miss Zhuang, you are being modest. Everyone knows that you stay in the mansion all day embroidering and playing the zither. With such hard work, your skills must be excellent."

Before Han Yan could say anything, Zhuang Yu Shan spoke up: "Yes, Fourth Sister, everyone in the mansion knows that you play the zither very well. The sound of your zither can attract butterflies. You must perform well later."

Hearing Zhuang Yu Shan's words, Li Jia Qi immediately looked at Han Yan with some jealousy and said in an unhappy tone: "Miss Zhuang is really modest. Why is she still hiding it? It seems that she wants to give us a surprise later."

Han Yan glanced at Zhuang Yu Shan calmly, and after a while she said, "Sister, you are joking. Han Yan hasn't played the zither since my mother was ill in bed three years ago. Sister really cares about Han Yan. Even found out everything about Han Yan three years ago, not long after entering the mansion."

Zhuang Yu Shan was stunned and her face flushed. Han Yan's words implied that she was not well behaved. She asked about her younger sister's private affairs as soon as she entered the mansion. She must be restless.

Han Yan looked at her speechless appearance, and then smiled and said: "Besides, it is not Han Yan's turn to perform. There are people who are better than me. Han Yan dare not be arrogant. Don't make a fool of yourself and lose the face of the whole Zhuang Mansion." After saying that, she glanced at Zhuang Yu Shan with a warning.

If Zhuang Yu Shan wanted to take this opportunity to show off her beauty and was used by someone with ulterior motives, it would be the end of the whole Zhuang Mansion.

Although she didn't have any special feelings for the Zhuang family, but if the nest is overturned, there will be no eggs that can be intact. Before she left, if there was any mishap in the Zhuang family, she and Zhuang Han Ming would be in trouble.

Zhuang Yu Shan is born beautiful and vain. People like her are the easiest to be exploited in the palace. Han Yan lowered her head in thought. If Zhuang Yu Shan had help, it would not be so easy to bring her down.

Zhuang Yu Shan was speechless after hearing Han Yan's words. She wished she could tear Han Yan into pieces. She stared at Han Yan with a hint of viciousness in her eyes. After thinking for a moment, she leaned over and whispered in Li Jia Qi's ear.

Han Yan glanced at them nonchalantly. She could guess what bad ideas the two were up to. But what could they do in broad daylight? Han Yan was very curious. Although she still smiled easily, she was secretly alert in her heart.

Deng Chan touched her arm and said: "Look!"

Han Yan looked up and realized that she was only paying attention to Zhuang Yu Shan and the other person, and didn't notice that Princess Yun Ni had already started dancing.

The maid behind her began to play the zither. It was an extremely cheerful dance. Princess Yun Ni was dressed in bright clothes, with a light figure. She stepped to the beat, holding a tambourine in her hand, gently patting the drum with her bare hands while spinning and jumping.

Han Yan saw that Princess Yun Ni was actually dancing the long-lost battlefield victory dance of the royal family. Many years ago, the mother of the late Emperor created this dance and danced it, so the Emperor was attracted to her.

Now Yun Ni could actually dance the long-lost victory dance, not to mention the Emperor and Empress, all the civil and military officials in the audience were surprised and amazed.

Han Yan stared at the dancing girl. She was clearly in her prime. Her face was slightly red from the effort. She looked pretty and lovely. The most amazing thing was the innocence and romance between her eyebrows.

It was hard to imagine that such a girl was actually a member of the royal family. She sometimes bent over to step on the beat, sometimes turned the tambourine in her hand, and every frown and smile made people feel extremely natural and happy. The golden skirt swayed with a gorgeous edge, and the pearls and jade enamel on her body jingled.

Han Yan noticed that while Princess Yun Ni was dancing, her eyes were intentionally or unintentionally looking towards the men's seats, and the tall man sitting in the direction she was looking at was Cheng Lei.

Princess Yun Ni's sweetheart is General Cheng?

Han Yan quietly looked at Cheng Lei, but saw that he looked indifferent, neither happy nor emotional. Looking at the shy expression of Princess Yun Ni, she understood that this was the so-called man was not interested, but the woman was interested.

While Han Yan was thinking about Yun Ni and Cheng Lei, he didn't know that his actions had been seen by others.

He Lian Yu stared at Han Yan across the banquet table: "She is really a guest at the palace banquet. I wonder which family she belongs to."

The man in white beside him followed He Lian Yu's gaze and said coldly, "If you like her, go and propose marriage."

He Lian Yu was startled and waved his hands quickly, saying, "Please spare me. That girl even dared to threaten your nephew. If I marry her, there will be chaos in the backyard. Besides..," he glanced at Han Yan with disdain, "she is just a little kid who has never grown up. What's the point of proposing marriage?"

A little kid who has never grown up? Fu Yun Xi raised his eyebrows, as if he had heard a joke. The scheming of that little girl is something many adult women could not match.

Seeing his friend staring at the women without blinking, He Lian Yu was moved and joked, "Could it be that you have taken a fancy to that little girl? Tsk tsk, you two are a perfect match. One is as cold as ice, and the other is full of evil. If it works out, who knows who will win over whom?"

Thinking of this, he felt that what he said made sense, "I just don't know what the girl's family is like. If you are well matched, it would be a good thing."

Fu Yun Xi just listened to He Lian Yu's nonsense calmly, and said: "If you want to be imprisoned in the ancestral hall for a few more days, just say it."

He Lian Yu fell silent instantly, a big drop of sweat appearing on his forehead. You must be kidding me. Being locked up by my own father for a few more days would be fatal.

On the other side, Han Yan thought about it. She watched the dance of Princess Yun Ni with great interest. It was a long-lost victory dance, and it was a good thing to see. Shu Hong was serving on the side, and noticed that Li Jia Qi and Zhuang Yu Shan exchanged glances, and showed Han Yan a sinister smile.
