Chapter 327 Yu Xiruo Dancing
"My cousin is too modest," the Third Prince said, and then sat down.
"Which young lady would like to showcase her talent next?" Princess Changning set a good precedent, and the eldest princess's smile became even brighter.
"Your Highness, I would like to humbly offer you a dance to enhance your refined taste."
The person speaking was Yu Xiruo, one of the people who had been fighting earlier. She had changed into a light-colored outfit, which was the complete opposite of her previous flamboyant bright red. However, even so, her charming face still drew everyone's attention to her.
"So you are the daughter of the Yu family? I have long heard of Miss Yu's outstanding talent and extraordinary skills. It would be an honor for all of us to witness it today!"
She had heard about what had happened before, but she never expected that such a charming-looking girl would fight with another woman in front of everyone. It really shows that you can't judge a book by its cover.
Everyone turned to look at Yu Xiruo, especially the young ladies who had seen her fight before. They were all eager to know what kind of dance Yu Xiruo was going to perform.
The drums and music resounded like rolling thunder, echoing throughout the banquet hall. A woman moved gracefully into the hall, her figure slender and elegant, like a fleeting glimpse of a beautiful shadow.
She was draped in fine silk, her ribbons fluttering in the wind, and danced gracefully to the rousing drumbeats. At times, she was as light as a swallow, her skirt billowing like flowers as she twirled; at other times, she swayed like a willow branch, her waist moving with a supple, boneless grace.
Her jade-like hands flipped and turned, like a nimble butterfly, drawing beautiful arcs in the air. The fingertips shimmered with light, reflecting the brilliance of her exquisite nail polish.
The audience was captivated. The room was completely silent except for the music and the light footsteps of the woman. It was as if all the troubles of the world were shut out by the exquisite dance. When the music ended, thunderous applause finally brought everyone back from their reverie.
Xiao Siyue was also stunned. Yu Xiruo's dance was truly breathtaking, like a graceful swan or a swimming dragon. It was so beautiful.
The others were also completely mesmerized; such graceful dance moves were truly captivating.
After Yu Xiruo finished dancing, she was slightly out of breath. She bowed to everyone to express her gratitude, and her gaze seemed to casually sweep over a certain prince.
"Miss Yu's dance is truly unparalleled in the world, leaving this prince speechless." The Second Prince's eyes widened. Such a beauty should be in his own household, but it's a pity that she is Grand Commandant Yu's granddaughter. Taking her as a concubine is definitely out of the question.
But he dared not take such a woman, whose reputation was tarnished, as his legal wife.
"What my second brother says is very true. Miss Yu's dance is so beautiful that it is truly rare in the world. I admire her greatly. I really regret that I didn't accompany Miss Yu with a song just now." The eldest prince's thoughts were completely opposite to those of the second prince.
Even if Yu Xiruo's reputation is damaged, so what? If you want to achieve something truly earth-shattering, why bother with such trivial matters!
Putting aside the Yu family's illustrious background, just considering the immense power that Grand Commandant Yu wields in the court, marrying Yu Xiruo would undoubtedly make his own power as strong as a tiger with wings, making him even more invincible.
If you truly feel this matter is inappropriate and you have some reservations, that's fine too. It's not too late to deal with it after you've successfully ascended to the highest position. After all, by then, with supreme power in your hands, wouldn't resolving such a small problem be a piece of cake?
The Crown Prince's words greatly excited Yu Xiruo. What the Crown Prince meant was... Everyone also saw the underlying meaning in the Crown Prince's words and were all somewhat surprised.
"Eldest brother really will stop at nothing, daring to accept anything." The second prince immediately understood what the eldest prince meant and said sarcastically.
Upon hearing this, Yu Xiruo's face turned pale instantly. The Second Prince's words were undoubtedly a sign of disrespect. The excitement she had just experienced from the dance vanished without a trace, and she felt too embarrassed to look at the gazes of everyone present.
Everyone was shocked by the Second Prince's words. Was the First Prince really that brave? That girl was Grand Commandant Yu's granddaughter. Wasn't he afraid that Grand Commandant Yu would trip him up by insulting her like that on the spot?
At the same time, everyone looked at Yu Xiruo, who was pale-faced, with some sympathy. She was really unlucky.
"Second Prince, aren't your words a bit too much? I know you have some misunderstandings about me, but you can't involve others, especially a frail woman." The First Prince frowned, disapprovingly rebuking him.
Yu Xiruo was deeply moved by the Crown Prince's protection, and her gaze towards him carried a hint of affection that was difficult to detect.
"Hmph." The Second Prince snorted coldly. He knew he had gone too far, but he was still annoyed by the First Prince's mask.
"Alright, alright, you two are both so grown up, why are you still acting like children? This is a banquet that your aunt specially organized, you can't ruin it for your aunt, or your aunt won't forgive you." The princess smiled and turned the confrontation between the two into a quarrel between brothers.
Everyone kept their eyes down, remaining silent; these were matters of great importance for the royal family, and they had no right to interfere.
"Miss Yu's dance has truly broadened my horizons. After watching your dance, I understand what it means to be 'graceful as a startled swan and lithe as a swimming dragon.' Your agile movements are so captivating that even the Goddess of the Luo River could not compare. It is truly mesmerizing!"
"Your Highness is absolutely right. I was also captivated by Miss Yu's dance. Today, I not only heard the Princess's soul-stirring music, but also witnessed such a beautiful dance. It is truly my honor," Madam Cui echoed.
The two of them, speaking in unison, immediately eased the previously tense atmosphere.
Yu Xiruo smiled again, bowed and thanked them, and returned to her seat.
Next, the young ladies took turns going on stage to showcase their talents, which made Xiao Siyue very happy.
I must say, this scene was a wonderful treat for my eyes. These young ladies were all so beautiful and charming.
As the saying goes, "Everyone has a love for beauty," and when faced with so many exceptionally beautiful young ladies, it feels like being in an unparalleled visual feast.
However, this grand event wasn't just a stage for women to showcase their talents; men would also occasionally take to the stage! Some would gently strum the strings, playing moving melodies; others would wield long swords, their movements powerful and graceful, captivating the audience. Such a dazzling spectacle was truly mesmerizing, leaving everyone mesmerized!
Just as Xiao Siyue was having a great time, someone started to cause her trouble.
