Chapter 358 (2/2)

And it only served to stir up her mischievous side. Thus, whenever she participated in any of those social gatherings, whoever was the most afraid of her, she would stare at him until he uncontrollably trembled from fear, looking like a weak little chick.

She would only retract her sight when she got the desired effect.

With this dull life, it is not bad to be able to find delight in such pranks.

Every time she was done participating in an event, Le Xuan Emperor would always summon her and very affably try to find out which young masters caught her eyes through many insinuations.

And Ning Xuemo would always give him an enigmatic smile, not revealing any of her thoughts and not praising anyone.

When Le Xuan Emperor asked her sternly, she would lightly sigh, All those young men are pretty good, but not as much as the crown prince

With that line, it completely made the emperor shut up. He did not dare to continue the conversation and could only smile with benevolence before allowing her to go home.

After Ning Xuemo participated to four or five events, the emperor finally understood that those gatherings were thoroughly useless. However, it seemed like the little girl liked beautiful things

Then, he recalled about that event organized by the scholar association : the Garden Appreciation party.

He immediately sent a decree compelling all unmarried sons of every official with seventh grade or higher to attend the party. In fact, anyone unmarried could participate.

It would not be proper if all those young men were there for only Ning Xuemo to choose, so the unmarried daughters of officials were also ordered to participate. At the appropriate time, Le Xuan Emperor would make his appearance to liven things up.

Ning Xuemo mulled it over, How is this event a garden appreciation party? It was clearly a big blind date event!

This old emperor was really putting in too much blood and sweat to rope her in, acting like he was Yue Lao[2] and tying red strings together.

Recently Ning Xuemo lived a pretty comfortable life. Aside from refining medicine and cultivating, she would stroll around and when she was bored, she would attend those banquets and enjoy the bustling of scenes during these events.
