Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Huangfu Lingyao was utterly astonished, his face showing disbelief. “Can’t you understand human language? You toad!”

“Your Highness, you look so handsome. In your presence, anyone would seem like a toad!” Zhang Wan’er had her own set of retorts, looking disdainfully at Liu Shimei. She continued, “Liu Shimei, with that face of yours, you can’t even compare to a man. How dare you claim to be the most beautiful woman in the Imperial Capital?”

Her triumphant demeanor suggested that Huangfu Lingyao’s good looks had everything to do with her!

Liu Shimei,”…”

She wore an expression of ‘Who am I’, ‘Where am I?’, and ‘What am I doing?’

Her head was full of question marks. She was utterly confused!

This woman probably had never looked in the mirror, unaware that she resembled a crow.

Unable to bear it any longer, Liu Anhe stood up and sternly declared, “Cousin Wan’er, if you can’t behave, I’ll have to ask someone to escort you out!”

Zhang Qian had recently returned to the Imperial Capital, and Zhang Wan’er was originally not invited to the Double Seven Festival’s poetry gathering. She had insisted on coming with Liu Yan’er.

Liu Yan’er had initially hesitated, but Zhang Wan’er pleaded with Liu Fuyun and finally gained approval after much effort.

Now, with the current situation, it was a complete embarrassment for the Liu family!

Threatened by Liu Anhe to be sent out, Zhang Wan’er’s confidence wavered. Feeling the pressure, she reluctantly glanced at Huangfu Lingyao and returned to sit beside Liu Anhe.

Liu Shimei’s beautiful face turned extremely gloomy.

It was unbearable for her to see her man being coveted. She wanted to change her position.

Zhang Wan’er had caught her attention, but causing a scene at the Yuebin Pavilion was out of the question. She would find another opportunity to deal with her later.

So, she wanted to change her seat, to avoid having to look at this despicable woman throughout the evening!

However, she merely waved to the attendant serving on the side, not having the chance to speak yet when a commotion suddenly erupted downstairs. The loud proclamation of the chief eunuch echoed, “His Highness the Crown Prince has arrived! Fourth Prince has arrived!”

The Crown Prince was here, and any thought of changing places was temporarily out of the question.

Everyone stood up, bowing respectfully towards the entrance.

Huangfu He walked in front, crossing the threshold of the Yuebin Pavilion.

Following him was a young man in a brocade robe, looking no older than 20. Whether his features were outstanding or not, he exuded an oily and powdered air.

This was Huangfu Yao, the Fourth Prince who often teased and played tricks on Huangfu Lingyao, resentful that he himself had a name pronounced similarly to ‘Yao’.

Though the people upstairs didn’t descend to pay their respects, they also stood up, following the proper etiquette.

Seeing Huangfu Yao, Liu Shimei’s expression became even more unpleasant than before. She thought, ‘If this fellow dares to provoke my silly dog again today, I must teach him a lesson, giving justice for Lingyao!’

Huangfu He spoke, “No need for formalities today; this small feast is not in the palace. Everyone can relax.”

He led Huangfu Yao to the second floor.

The best seats were, of course, reserved for the Crown Prince!

Huangfu Lingyao felt extremely fortunate; not only was his location secluded, but it also wasn’t on Huangfu He’s usual path.

So, Huangfu He probably wouldn’t notice Liu Shimei over here… right?

Just as she thought this, a reality check slapped her in the face!

After Huangfu He sat down in the main seat, his gaze swept around, and he inquired of the Yuebin Pavilion manager beside him, “Is everyone here?”

The manager replied, “Except for the son of General Liang, it is said that he went to the training camp to observe military exercises and hasn’t come. Everyone else is present.”

Those attending the gathering would bring their invitation to the Yuebin Pavilion’s entrance, signifying their arrival.

This being the Crown Prince’s banquet, people would either not come or arrive early, never daring to overshadow the Crown Prince’s grandeur.

Huangfu He looked around and asked again, “Why don’t I see Imperial Brother’s wife from the Liu family?”

Circling around, he still asked about Liu Shimei!
