Ye Jinsu frowned and slowed down her breathing, feeling that she had lost control of herself.

Turning his head, Ye Jinxiu said to Little Red, ”It's fine.”

It wasn't worth it to make a fool of yourself over such a small matter. Furthermore, she didn't come here to join in on the fun. It was more important for her to get down to business. Ye Jinxiu regained her calm and her gaze inadvertently swept across the field.

Everyone was gathered in a circle in the yard, and the fruits and vegetables were served. Now was the time for everyone to have a good time, to have a chat with the people around them, or to raise their glasses and offer a few words of congratulations.

Most of the people here were known to Ye Jinxiu. As she hastily looked over, she was able to roughly understand the situation on the field. For example, this Yu family was probably very favored by the court. The one beside Yu Yao'er, who referred to herself as' elder sister 'and' elder sister ', was as eager as if she was serving her own mother.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see it.

There were also the sons of the princes who were all seated in a pile, all of them raising their goblets heartily. He was clearly not a blood related brother, yet he seemed to be closer than a blood related brother. The number of princes surrounding the Grand Princess was more than enough. There were also a few aristocratic children who were familiar with them.

As for Ye Jinsu's side, they were all descendants from influential families, and they were all old officials of the imperial court. On the surface, it looked happy and harmonious, but he didn't know how water and fire were incompatible behind the scenes.

Ye Jinxiu lowered her head to eat her food. It seemed like the rumors outside weren't wrong. Right now, the inner court was indeed very distinct from the outer court. Looking at the current situation, it was only a banquet, yet there were so many different tables. The situation up ahead was more tense than the rumors said.

He raised his eyes to look at Ning Yunquan. He was in the middle of a conversation with Ning Yunquan, but the corner of his mouth curved into a faint smile. He didn't seem to have noticed Ning Yunquan's expression at all.

Ye Jinxiu frowned and stopped eating with her chopsticks.

Suddenly, the music on the stage stopped. Ye Jinsu raised her head and the musicians left.

It turned out to be the main character of the banquet.

With a cute and mischievous expression, she lifted up the corner of her skirt and ran up onto the stage. Her voice was pleasant to listen to. She looked at Ye Jinsu and said, ”I heard that Sister Ye's zither arts are the best in the capital. Today is my birthday, I wonder if I can ask sister to dance with me?”

As expected, Ye Jinsu gently smiled and took the zither from Little Red, ”This is my sister's honor.”

When Ye Jinsu stood up, she attracted everyone's attention. Everyone had heard of her reputation and could not help but become more interested in her. Some people were discussing her in whispers, and most of them were praising her.

Ye JinRu grabbed her chopsticks tightly. What she hated the most was Ye Jinsu's arrogant appearance.

She was the one who should attract everyone's attention, but Ye Jinsu easily obtained it. What right did she have?!

Glancing at Ye Jingru's ashen face, Ye Jinsu sneered in her heart. She really didn't have that kind of experience and didn't like the feeling of being watched by everyone. Her hands were drenched in cold sweat, but it was worth it for her to make Ye JinRu uncomfortable.

His fingertips lightly caressed the strings of the zither, stirring it in twos and threes. The zither music flowed like flowing water, melodious and clear. At first it was as quiet as the mist in the mountains, then it was as melodious as the wind blowing through the branches of a willow tree, until finally it was as passionate as the river flowing into the sea, and the water dripping into the rocks.

Ye Jinsu slowed down, and so did Yu Yue.

One dance after another, the wind returns to the snow, stopping the clouds from circling the beam.

There was silence on the stage. Everyone was staring at the stage in a daze.

Only Ye Jingru's eyes were red. No matter how she looked at Ye Jinxiu, her gaze was still glaring. Even the applause from all around was so ear-piercing, it had been like this since he was young. As long as there was a place where Ye Jinsu and she appeared at the same time, the limelight would definitely belong to Ye Jinsu!

Under the spotlight of Ye Jinsu! Even the clothes that Ye Jingru meticulously prepared were no longer that attractive. Ye Jinxiu smiled at Little Red and glanced at Ye JinRu.
