r Xiao.""Xiao Yu's song It's actually her!" The man repeated the name, seeming quite surprised: "Keep an eye on her. If she gets into danger, secretly help her out." Just as a way of repaying her for...At the same time, a powerful internal force surged from the side, and the tea water that was originally splashed towards the Xiao sisters miraculously flowed backward, splashing onto the palace maid!

All of this happened so fast, faster than anyone could react. All they heard was a scream from the palace maid before everyone saw her clutching her face and collapsing to the ground in agonizing pain.

"Fu'er, Ge'er, are you alright" Qian Sichin came to Xiao Yu Ge and the others first.

"It's fine." Xiao Yuge shook her head.

While Xiao Yufu was already terrified out of her wits, she was still trembling in Xiao Yuge's arms and couldn't even speak.

Xiao Yu Ge originally thought it was Qian Si Chen who had made the move, but seeing Qian Si Chen's expression, she realized that the person who had just acted wasn't him. But then, who was it Could it be...

She unconsciously looked towards Qian Tingxuan, but found that he was now calmly sipping tea, looking calm and collected as if nothing around him mattered.

Xiao Yu Ge estimated the distance, based on where Qian Ting Xuan was standing, it was entirely possible to achieve. However, it also required a profound and powerful inner strength. It seemed this man's martial arts skills were far superior to hers. With her current abilities, she was still injured. If he truly wanted to kill her to silence her, she might not even have a chance to resist.

At this moment, the entire hall was filled with the wails of the palace maids. It seemed they had been scalded by boiling tea water, and their faces were ruined beyond recognition.

"Come here, take her away and get a physician to have a good look at her!" At this moment, the Empress regained her senses and ordered someone to take the wailing maid away. She then asked Xiao Yuge and the others if they were hurt. After confirming that they were fine, she instructed the banquet to continue.

Xiao Yu sang secretly observed everyone's expressions, thinking that what had just happened was definitely not accidental. She wanted to see who was secretly behind it all, but after looking around, she seemed to find no answer.

The banquet was still in full swing, and the guests were not affected by the recent minor incident. Those noble ladies had prepared for this banquet long ago, eager to showcase their talents. They all hoped that the Crown Prince would be present, and if he favored them, even becoming a concubine would be a leap from an ordinary bird to a phoenix. However, Qian Si Chen's heart was entirely focused on Xiao Yu Fu, and he wouldn't spare a glance for any other woman.

And the first to take the stage was Ginger Zhiyi, the niece of Concubine Ginger. On the surface, she lived up to her name and looked like a gentle and considerate young lady. She gracefully played a piece titled "Phoenix in Captivity" with composure and elegance. The skillful and beautiful music intoxicated everyone present. As the song ended, its lingering melody resonated, and thunderous applause erupted from the audience.

< >

The ladies took the stage one after another, and even Princess Hui Min Ninghua began her performance. As the musicians played, Ninghua lightly danced. It has to be said that Ninghua was older than the other noblewomen, but her dance was still quite good.

After a stunning performance, thunderous applause filled the room. She basked in the praise, then, without missing a beat, said, “I heard that Miss Xiao of the Xiao family had been practicing day and night for this day, determined to outshine everyone else. Rumor has it that Miss Xiao is exceptionally talented in everything from music and calligraphy to painting. And her dance was truly exquisite! Why don't we all open our eyes and be amazed today”

As soon as she finished speaking, the people beside her immediately joined in the commotion. They were naturally those noble ladies who were dissatisfied and wanted to see what was so special about Xiao Yu Fu that she was so favored by the Crown Prince.

At this point, Xiao Yufu had recovered from her shock. She rose gracefully and bowed to the Empress: "Your Majesty, my younger sister and I did indeed choreograph a dance intended to present to you today. However, because my sister was seriously injured a while ago and hasn't fully recovered yet..."

"Sister, my injury doesn't matter." Xiao Yuge hurriedly got up to interrupt her. She knew that Xiao Yu-fu had been practicing day and night for this day, waiting for her to be injured so she could go up alone. This little thoughtfulness was something Xiao Yuge from her past life couldn't see, but now that she had lived again, she was clear-sighted.

“I’ve heard that Miss Xiao the Elder is exceptionally skilled in dancing, but I never knew Miss Xiao the Younger could dance as well. It seems like I’m truly fortunate to witness this today.” Whoever said that certainly had everyone's attention now. Even if Xiao Yufu didn't want Xiao Yuge to perform, it was impossible. After all, who in the capital city didn't know that Xiao Yuge danced terribly They were egging her on just to see her make a fool of herself.

But, her wounds... Ning Hua hadn't expected that forcing Xiao Yu Fu onto the stage would end up involving Xiao Yu Ge. Just now, looking at the injuries on Xiao Yu Ge's body, she was already scared, naturally knowing how painful it must be. Since dancing involved using the entire body, wouldn't those wounds just rip open again

Xiao Yu Ge only lightly raised his eyes to glance at her, and she immediately shut her mouth out of fright.

This scene happened to fall into Qian Tingxuan's eyes, he couldn't help but frown secretly. This Ning Hua was notorious for being willful and domineering, but she was actually defeated by that girl with just a casual look. It seems like this girl really has some skills.

“Ge'er, you still have injuries on your body. Why don't you just give up.” Qian Sicheng, surprisingly, showed concern for Xiao Yuge. This made those watching think that he was afraid of Xiao Yuge embarrassing him, after all, she was now the future Crown Princess. If she disgraced herself, it would be a stain on the royal family's face.

"Yes, Ge'er, your wounds aren't fully healed. If you can't do it, don't force yourself." The Empress was also worried about her injuries.

"Your Majesty, please rest assured, your servant has it all under control." The wound had just been dressed, and a simple dance wouldn't cause any problems. To seek revenge, she had to perform this dance, and she had to do it well.

When the two sisters put on their dance attire and came onto the main hall, everyone couldn't help but stare. Xiao Yu Fu was always meticulously dressed, but in this dance outfit, she was even more dazzling. As for Xiao Yu Ge, she was usually wild and free, dressing for comfort above all else. She had never been so elaborately dressed before, so when she appeared, she took everyone's breath away and captured all eyes.

Xiao Yufu's figure was excellent, but no matter how you looked at it, she gave people a weak and sickly feeling. Xiao Yuge, on the other hand, was the opposite. Her whole body was filled with a wild beauty. Her waist was just right; if it were any thicker, it would be fat, and if it were any thinner, it would be too thin. Under the outline of her dancing clothes, her curves were graceful and charming. Who would have thought that this ordinary tomboy usually looked unremarkable, she was actually so stunningly beautiful, attracting countless envious and jealous glances in an instant.

Even Qian Si Chen, who usually rarely looked at her, was stunned. His mind couldn't help but recall the scene from yesterday, and he felt a strange acceleration of his heartbeat., I want to sit here for a while." Xiao Yuge opened the flower window, and suddenly a cool breeze blew in her face. She lazily leaned on the window."Yes, Miss." Qingluo closed the door behind her as s...
