The Farm Girl's Charismatic Fortune-Chapter 352 - 348 Does she really know something?

Ruo Xuan certainly knew that Yan Jiaojiao was helping her, she felt that whether she performed or not was of no consequence, and she saw through what Princess Kangyi intended to do.

But since Yan Jiaojiao had spoken up, she couldn’t ignore Jiaojiao’s request, so she said, "Jiaojiao is right, this is not my own banquet, stealing the host’s thunder is not appropriate, Princess Kangyi, you perform on your own, I won’t."

Because of her dislike for Ruo Xuan, Princess Kangyi always observed her and, in fact, understood Ruo Xuan quite well, knowing she was vain and loved to be the center of attention.

It was somewhat unexpected that Ruo Xuan would actually refuse.

She had assumed that Ruo Xuan would agree, but she had actually refused!

She asked subconsciously, "Why are you refusing? Don’t you love beauty? Dancing would let everyone see your grace and beauty."

Ruo Xuan: "I do love beauty! But I am not foolish. Why should I agree when you want to harm me?"

Ruo Xuan was a flower, with the nature of a flower, something that couldn’t be changed, nor would she want to change it, so she never hid her preferences and personality.

Because there was no need!

She was a Flower Fairy who had cultivated for a hundred years and was only a step away from becoming an Immortal, and to her, all the people in this world were just ordinary mortals, their thoughts transparent before her.

Therefore, she lived freely, doing whatever she liked, not caring how others looked at her!

Thus, everyone in Capital City who had interacted with her knew she loved beauty and enjoyed others’ compliments.

Some people tried to exploit this trait of hers, like Princess Kangyi, seeking benefits from her or scheming evil deeds—Ruo Xuan was also aware of this!

To help them or to teach them a lesson depended on her mood and the circumstances.

As for Princess Kangyi, Ruo Xuan intended to teach her a lesson!

And that included the girl in pink.

Princess Kangyi’s heart skipped a beat, "Don’t talk nonsense, when have I ever tried to harm you?"

Ruo Xuan covered her mouth and yawned, "If you say you didn’t, then you didn’t!"

People, they never give up hope until they face the inevitable end.

She bothered not to argue, she just waited for her to learn her lesson.

The sun today is so nice, makes me want to sleep!

Princess Kangyi: "..."

She couldn’t possibly know something, could she?

No, she hasn’t done anything yet, how could Ruo Xuan possibly know?

Princess Kangyi looked instinctively in the direction behind Yan Jiaojiao.

Seeing her look over, the girl in pink turned her head to the left, pretending to talk to Zhou Wenxuan.

Princess Kangyi understood when she saw this, she said, "If Princess Wuyou doesn’t dance, then she doesn’t. Who wants to dance with me to liven up the mood?"

Although that despicable Ruo Xuan wouldn’t dance, not dragging her down directly was actually safer.

All she needed was to make sure Ruo Xuan couldn’t participate in the beauty selection, nothing else mattered.

Zhou Jie, the daughter of the Minister of Personnel, spoke up, "I remember Jiaojiao is very good at sword dancing, and Princess Kangyi also knows martial sword dance, why don’t you and Princess Kangyi perform a sword dance together, Jiaojiao?"

Yan Jiaojiao certainly wouldn’t help Princess Kangyi.

She shook her head, "I won’t dance, I’ve been too busy lately, it’s been too long since I last practiced sword dancing, I’ve forgotten how. If you want to dance, go on stage yourself, don’t drag me into it."

Zhou Jie: "..."

Yan Jiaojiao, just like Princess Wuyou, always says things that irritate people.

Ruo Xuan: "Isn’t there are four talented ladies in the Capital City? How about the four of us perform a dance together? Such an opportunity, if missed this time, I’m afraid it will be gone forever. Does everyone want to see it?"

Yan Jiaojiao immediately echoed, "Xuanbao is right, a dance by the four talented ladies of the Capital City will definitely make a mark in the Capital City."

Gao Yan, He Xi, and Zhu Yan all nodded their heads.

Gao Yan: "Xuanbao has a good idea!"

Zhu Yan: "This opportunity is indeed rare, and if we miss it, I’m afraid the chance for us four talented ladies to dance together on the same stage will be gone."

All of us have reached the age for marriage discussion; after getting married, for the sake of dignity and elegance, generally, there won’t be any more public dance performances.

After all, for a Head of Household’s wife to dance for the entertainment of others, what would that look like?

He Xi: "The four of you haven’t danced together before, right? This is the perfect time to try it out. After we watch, we can also give some suggestions, which might just dazzle everyone at the selection event."

The four talented ladies of the Capital City are Princess Kangyi, Zhou Wenxuan who stands behind Yan Jiaojiao, Zhou Ludong’s cousin Yin Xiaoxue, and just now, the Minister of Appointments’ daughter Zhou Jie who spoke up.

Zhou Wenxuan is Zhou Ludong’s sister, and Yin Xiaoxue is Zhou Ludong’s cousin.

The person in pink clothing that Princess Kangyi was looking at just now was Yin Xiaoxue.

Yin Xiaoxue is merely the daughter of a merchant, unsuitable to participate in the selection event.

However, because she has lived in the Marquis Mansion since she was young and has a good relationship with Zhou Wenxuan, the Marchioness often brings her and Zhou Wenxuan along to various mansion banquets.

By keeping her niece by her side, the Marchioness hopes to one day arrange a good marriage for her, just like she had the fortune of marrying into the Marquis family and becoming the Head of Household’s wife.

Although Yin Xiaoxue is a merchant’s daughter, because she has lived in the Marquis Mansion since childhood, and often accompanies her aunt to various prominent families’ gatherings, she, herself being excellent in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting as well as pretty, with a good temperament and a friend of Princess Kangyi—with the four of them often playing together—she has been acclaimed as one of the four talented ladies of the Capital City since childhood.

The other ladies, upon hearing this, also voiced their agreement: "Yes, Princess Kangyi, Miss Zhou Jie, Miss Wenxuan, Miss Yin, you are all the four talented ladies of the Capital City. Why not dance together and let everyone appreciate the grace of the four talented ladies?"

"Princess Wuyou has a great idea. If the four talented ladies of the Capital City dance together, it will undoubtedly amaze the world!"

...

What four talented ladies of the Capital City? These are just titles bestowed by those flattering Princess Kangyi. But among the noble daughters of the Capital City, which one hasn’t been learning music, chess, calligraphy, and painting from a young age?

Deep down, everyone somewhat resented the so-called four talented ladies.

After all, who would dare to offend the status of Princess Kangyi?

Hearing everyone’s words, Zhou Jie was tempted. Her looks were average in the Capital City, but she had a good figure. If she could perform a dance with the other three at the selection event, and it was a masked dance, she would certainly be able to highlight her strengths!

She smiled and said, "Good idea! Princess Kangyi, why don’t the four of us dance a piece together."

Princess Kangyi glanced at her coldly—this fool had ruined her plan. Since she had hurled herself at her, she couldn’t blame her then.

She smiled, "Alright! Then let’s the four of us give a humble performance to liven up the occasion, how about that?"

Zhou Wenxuan asked Yin Xiaoxue, "Cousin, would you like to dance?"

Yin Xiaoxue smiled gently, "I have no objections; if cousin agrees, then I will accompany cousin in the dance."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Wenxuan said, "Then let’s dance! We’ll liven up the occasion for Princess Kangyi too."

Princess Kangyi asked again, "So, what dance shall we perform?"

Ruo Xuan: "The most breathtaking dance is, of course, the Feathered Garment Dance accompanied by Immortals spreading flowers!"

Princess Kangyi’s heart skipped a beat—how did she voice the very idea she had in mind?

The others, upon hearing it, expressed their concurrence eagerly, "The Feathered Garment Dance is beautiful! Paired with Immortals spreading flowers, the scene will surely be extremely beautiful!"

"Let’s choose that, Princess Kangyi! Today we came to appreciate flowers, and even though the lotuses are not in bloom, the Feathered Garment Dance with Immortals spreading flowers will also be akin to enjoying the blossoms."
