"Sir..." At this moment, Xia Yuhan didn't know what to do. This Mechanism had actually been given as a birthday gift for Jiang Tingyu...
Today was his birthday...
If we consider Xia Yuhan's originally modern life, today was also her birthday. If she remembered correctly, she was now four years old...
She never expected that there would be such a wonderful connection between the two of them.
Such a nearly perfect person. Every time he treated her well, she always felt a sense of disorientation.
But she knew that her heart already belonged to Cang Yile. The man whom her heart could not refuse.
Although she understood that she had lost her purity and no longer had the qualifications to be with other men, she still wanted to truly love someone before she died. To willingly give herself to that person. That way, even if she suddenly passed away, she would have no regrets. At least she preserved a complete love.
If she had crossed over without the so-called right and wrong, and then unexpectedly met Jiang Tingyu, even managing to get ahead of Cang Yile...
She thought that she would definitely shyly respond to him when she liked him before Jiang Tingyu.
But there are no "ifs" in this world.
When Xia Yuhan came back to her senses again, they had already arrived at the Palace Gate. Jiang Tingyu's attendants could not enter and could only wait outside the palace gate.
However, Jiang Tingyu's carriage smoothly drove into the palace...
Xia Yuhan did not know that throughout the country, only Jiang Tingyu was allowed to enter the palace in a carriage.
"Sir, let Yu Han down. Yu Han can go in by herself."
"It's fine. It's just on the way."
Since Jiang Tingyu said so, she could only continue riding in the carriage. If she insisted on getting off, it would be disrespectful to refuse his kind offer.
At this moment, at the Flower Viewing Banquet, the young nobles and young ladies have all arrived, except for Xia Yuhan.
Xia Wan'er made her grand entrance in a splendid outfit. As soon as she appeared, many young ladies came forward to praise her. Some of the compliments were genuine, while others were insincere; only they knew the truth in their hearts.
"Sister Wan'er, it's been a while! You look even more beautiful!"
"Yes, Sister Wan'er! Please teach us your secrets so we can look beautiful too!"
"Sister Wan'er..."
Xia Wan'er felt a surge of pride within her. Hmph. There are hardly any fabrics like the one she wore throughout the entire Azure Dragon Kingdom.
This fabric was personally favored by the Empress this year, crafted by renowned tailors from Jiangnan with exquisite skills and made from the finest silk.
Just thinking about wearing such high-quality fabric as clothing felt wonderful. And how much more so when it was on her.
Upon arriving at the Flower Viewing Banquet, surrounded by praises from the young ladies, Xia Wan'er completely forgot that she had come here seeking revenge.
Feeling buoyed by the attention from so many young ladies, Xia Wan'er had recently been overshadowed by that scoundrel Xia Yuhan at Xia Manor. Now she felt as if she were floating on air.
Hmph. No matter what she wore, she looked better than all of them.
However, Xia Wan'er did not express this out loud. She feigned modesty and responded to them: "Oh, that's not true. The dresses you sisters are wearing are much fresher than mine. They look very beautiful on you."
But Xia Wan'er was foolish because she failed to notice the arrival of the princess. In an instant, she had stolen the spotlight from the princess. Would she still be able to establish herself among the young ladies after this?
The princess had changed from her usual luxurious royal robes and wore the most fashionable light blue V-neck dress in the capital.
Although it didn't appear extravagant at first glance, upon closer inspection, one could see that her light blue dress was trimmed with gold thread and embroidered with phoenix patterns. Even without wearing luxurious royal attire, anyone with discerning eyes could recognize her identity at a glance.
Yet, Xia Wan'er was so dazed by the compliments that she completely overlooked that the princess had already entered the Flower Viewing Banquet.
The maid beside the princess knew her master's thoughts and whispered softly in her ear, "Princess, that is Xia Wan'er, the daughter of General Xia, the eldest lady of Xia Manor."
"Hmph." The princess lightly swept her delicate brows. Her noble and favored demeanor was evident in an instant. "For the sake of General Xia, we won't drive her away for now, lest it disrupt the atmosphere of the banquet."
"Yes, Princess."
Princess Changning anxiously scanned the crowd of guests arriving at the banquet but did not see Jiang Tingyu's figure.
Where is Jiang Tingyu? At the very least, she is a princess of the same country. After several attempts to seek him out, he should give her some face.
Moreover, her outfit today was entirely prepared for Jiang Tingyu. She had once pursued him and heard that he disliked her noble status.
Now she wasn't wearing the lofty attire that overshadowed other young ladies, nor did she adorn herself with excessive gold ornaments. Jiang Tingyu should not dislike her now.
As Princess Changning was lost in thoughts about Jiang Tingyu, she saw his exclusive carriage slowly approaching the direction of the banquet...
The maid beside Princess Changning quickly remarked, "Princess, the Right Chancellor has arrived."
Perhaps the Right Chancellor's reputation had already spread throughout the Azure Dragon Kingdom. Upon hearing his name, the young ladies present hurriedly turned their anxious gazes toward the direction of the approaching carriage: it was indeed the Right Chancellor. They were finally seeing him in person.
The young masters from noble families also looked toward the carriage. After all, they had heard numerous tales about Jiang Tingyu at home. At such a young age, he was already astonishingly talented and held a high position as the Right Chancellor of the Azure Dragon Kingdom. Such a position was something many ambitious young people could only dream of.
Seeing that Jiang Tingyu's presence completely overshadowed her as a princess, Princess Changning felt no anger; instead, she was excited and proud. After all, it was Jiang Tingyu who eclipsed her. Who could blame her for being deeply attracted to him? Even when he furrowed his brows, she found him beautiful and handsome.
The carriage drew closer and closer, and everyone's anticipation grew more intense.
Finally, the carriage came to a slow stop beside the banquet exit. Once the coachman set up the steps, he promptly assisted Jiang Tingyu down from the carriage.
At that moment, all the young ladies caught their first glimpse of Jiang Tingyu's true appearance. They saw him dressed in snow-white robes, his serene features framed by dark brows and bright red lips against white teeth—a clean and pure visage like a clear spring. Especially his focused and humble expression left them utterly mesmerized.
A gentle breeze blew by, stirring Jiang Tingyu's long robe and tousling his hair ribbon. He appeared like an ethereal being descended from heaven. Every move he made and every word he spoke radiated an air of nobility that captivated those young ladies' hearts.
At that moment, it felt as if with a single thought, the iceberg shattered and the vast sea surged...
The Young Ladies present were all excitedly exclaiming.
"Truly, she is as beautiful as an immortal. I don't know what words to use to describe the Right Chancellor."
"Yes, yes. The Right Chancellor is just like the legends say. He truly has an extraordinary demeanor and charm."
"A person like this... in the Azure Dragon Kingdom, I fear there won't be another."
Even Xia Yuhan, quietly sitting in the carriage, couldn't help but admire Jiang Tingyu through the gap as she saw him.
At the same time, she still couldn't understand why Jiang Tingyu treated her so well, or even liked her...
Forget it, no need to think too much...
Because Jiang Tingyu was already waiting for her outside the carriage. She only hoped he wouldn't make things difficult for her or reach out to take her hand, as she didn't want to become the target of everyone's resentment.
It seemed Jiang Tingyu had heard her thoughts; he indeed did not reach out to assist her but simply said lightly, "It's time to get off."
Xia Yuhan complied and stepped down from the carriage. The moment she descended, the Noble Young Masters couldn't help but praise her.
Naturally, those Young Ladies hated Xia Yuhan with gritted teeth. If she were to be led down from the carriage by Jiang Tingyu holding her hand, she wouldn't be able to handle it at all.
As she walked down gracefully under the bright sunlight, each step made the glass decorations on her headpiece sparkle brilliantly in the light.
Her fiery red attire made all the flowers in the garden pale in comparison...
After getting off the carriage, Xia Yuhan closely followed Jiang Tingyu. She knew that if looks could kill, she would have been slain by those Young Ladies' glares at that moment.
Among those glares was Sun Wan'er and Princess Changning.
When Xia Yuhan met Princess Changning's provocative gaze, she suddenly smiled faintly. Even Princess Changning felt a bit guilty under that smile.
It was this gentle and subtle smile that astonished the Young Masters present, prompting them to ask for her name.
The Young Ladies were also quite curious about Xia Yuhan's identity. What kind of woman could stand alongside the Right Chancellor of the Azure Dragon Kingdom?
Although Xia Yuhan's reputation had already spread throughout the capital, not many among them knew what she truly looked like.
Sun Wan'er, in an attempt to embarrass Xia Yuhan, deliberately lowered her voice and feigned sadness before Xia Yuhan approached them. "That's my younger sister. We entered the palace together, and as her older sister, I was worried about why she hadn't arrived yet. Who would have thought... sigh..."
Upon hearing this, the Young Ladies chose to align with Sun Wan'er.
"Sister Wan'er is so kind-hearted, still waiting for her sister. But little did she know, her sister went to seduce the Right Chancellor."
"Hey, isn't Sister Waner's sister the Second Sister of Xia Manor?"
"Could it be that she's the one who caused such a stir in the capital recently?"
