Chapter 126: Chapter 126: Never Have Felt Such a Strong Heartbeat

Seeing Shen Hua silent, Cui Rong was smug.

"It seems I am better than you. So next time, you should treat me better, no one has ever dared to treat me this way. I’m being generous by not punishing you."

Shen Hua propped her chin, seemingly amused: "Ha."

Wei Yingying numbly watched the scene unfold before her eyes.

Shen Hua’s reaction irritated Cui Rong, who couldn’t help but boast: "Although I don’t like studying, I can recognize all the words taught by the teacher."

That was a teacher specially hired by Cui Yun, heard to be the same one who taught Cui Bai previously.

With this point, she had to respect him regardless of her dissatisfaction.

"The teacher once praised me specially for my intelligence. He also said there’s no girl of my age in Shengjing who can compare."

Shen Hua lowered her eyes, her expression calm.

Seeing Shen Hua silent, Cui Rong turned to Yicui: "You tell me. Has your Miss ever been praised by the teacher?"

Feeling called out, Yicui was embarrassed, knowing full well her mistress valued face, and hence she alluded only briefly.

"More than five teachers have taught our mistress."

Shen Hua calmly nodded her head: "Mmm, when they left, they all said their own talents were insufficient and could no longer teach me."

She absolutely did not mention they were driven away because of her attitude.

Cui Rong fell silent.

That those teachers were so humble in front of Shen Hua, she did not want to admit that Shen Hua really did have some capabilities.

Soon, the mansion’s servants respectfully entered the pavilion.

"Commandery Princess, Miss Wei, Miss Shen, please proceed to the table."

According to the rules, men and women should be seated at separate tables, separated by a screen in the middle. The seating also has a priority, with the one facing the door being the top seat.

But this was clearly dictated by Ji Ge.

He separated the sons and daughters sent by the Empress into different seats according to the rules, all arranged in the secondary hall.

Meanwhile, only two tables were set up in the main hall.

These two naturally consisted of what he considered ’bad company’.

Thus, there was no need to follow those rules.

The dishes were served one by one, neatly and flawlessly.

Ji Ge went to the secondary hall to offer toasts. He didn’t let anyone shield him from drinking. Obviously, he was in the mood to drink heavily.

"Where is Rong?"

Xuan Shen turned his head and asked his cousin while talking to his fiancée.

A softness flashed in Cui Yun’s eyes: "Perhaps she has gone to cause trouble somewhere again. I have sent someone to call her."

Upon hearing this, Ji Huo couldn’t help but say, "Knowing she is a troublemaker, you still don’t control her! The tyrant in your house indeed tries to reach the sky, I heard she just made a girl from the Governor’s Mansion cry."

Cui Yun pursed his lips.

"I will investigate the matter."

"Investigate what?"

"Rong would never lose her temper at an innocent person without reason."

Ji Huo: ???

It’s surprising that you could say such a thing?

Really, the beings Cui Yun fosters, whether human or cat, all are top-notch troublemakers.

It was then that Cui Rong entered.

She jogged inside: "Second uncle."

Then she bowed to Xuan Chenfu: "Cousin."

After Xuan Chen spoke and smiled, he let Cui Rong sit down next to Cui Yun.

The main seat was reserved for Ji Ge, followed by the Third Prince Ji Teng. There were two spaces next to him, then the legitimate daughter from Duke Wen’s Mansion who was Xuan Chen’s fiancée, followed by Xuan Chen, Heir of Prince Gong Ji Huo, Cui Yun, and the seat left for Cui Rong.

One table sat eight people. Two more would still be manageable.

In contrast, the other table was already full with eight people.

Ji Huo looked around and swore immorally.

"Damn."

Looking around, couples who were married or engaged were indeed all paired up!!

If he had known earlier, he should have brought his concubine along.

He abruptly stood up.

"Cui Yun."

Cui Yun casually looked up.

Ji Huo: "I really disdain being associated with you!"

Leaving behind these harsh words, he actually sat next to Ji Teng.

This way, the spot to the right of Cui Yun was freed up.

The man simply offered a bland smile, not taking it seriously.

Soon, Ji Huo regretted it.

From his position, he could clearly see two girls approaching the hall. He recognized Wei Yingying, but the girl beside Wei Yingying...

Under the light, her delicate body conveyed a sense of fragility; her appearance, somewhat youthful, yet like a jade emanating fragrance.

Her beauty was charming and her brows like moth antennae delicate.

Truly, a graceful figure.

The typically amorous Ji Huo did not even blink his eyes. Then, he came to his senses.

The spot next to Ji Teng naturally belonged to Wei Yingying. By changing seats, had he not given Cui Yun an opportunity???

Cui Yun, with his decent appearance, indeed attracted the girls’ affection.

Ji Huo excitedly stood up straight and quickly circled around before hurriedly sitting back down beside Cui Yun.

Xuan Chen couldn’t help but laugh: "You’re performing acrobatics there."

Ji Huo: "You know nothing!"

Ji Teng remained silent, obviously not accustomed to dining amidst the clamor with these people. His presence had always been the lowest.

Meanwhile, Cui Yun quietly served food to Cui Rong, without any reaction to Ji Huo’s antics.

But Ji Huo was not reassured.

He suddenly grabbed Cui Yun’s wrist.

With perfected rhetoric, he lavished praise before making a request.

"Cui Yun, you’re not all that great, but you’re still a gentleman. I won’t fuss about the past. See that girl coming this way? I’m telling you in advance, don’t compete with me over her."

Cui Yun couldn’t be bothered to turn around to look.

He withdrew his hand silently, his tone revealing neither joy nor anger.

"Princely Heir, keep your hands to yourself."

Ji Huo took that as agreement.

He was elated.

"Really, I’ve never seen anyone wear mink as beautifully as she does."

Hearing the word ’mink,’ Cui Yun’s brow twitched. He didn’t even need to look to guess who it was.

Ji Huo smiled more radiantly than anyone and greeted Wei Yingying.

"I’ve left the spot for you, come sit next to the Third Prince. Oh, and the girl beside you, I’m not sure..."

Before he could finish, Wei Yingying frowned deeply.

"Thanks, but no need for the Princely Heir’s kindness."

She pulled Shen Hua, raising her head and walking towards the fully seated table.

Whether it was meant for Shen Hua or intentionally for someone else to hear, Wei Yingying said: "I just love crowded places. What about you?"

It was fortunate that the table here was not the typical rectangular shape, but a rare round one.

Shen Hua slowly responded with an ’ah’.

"Your tastes are quite peculiar."

Wei Yingying politely asked, "Would it be alright to add two more seats here?"

People at the other table, of course, dared not say anything.

Soon, the servant brought over the round stools next to Ji Teng.

Shen Hua gave a light smile to the unfamiliar girl already seated and greeted her.

Ji Huo: ???

Reluctantly grinding his teeth, he muttered: "What’s up with Wei Yingying!"

"If I go sit at that table now, would it be embarrassing?"

He naturally asked Cui Yun.

Cui Yun indifferently replied: "It will be more crowded."

"It’s clear as Sima Zhao’s heart, everyone can see it."

Ji Huo was anxious, occasionally glancing at Shen Hua; he could even smell the scent of spring.

"You don’t understand."

"Although I have many concubines whom I all cherish, I’ve never felt such a strong heartbeat before."

Ji Huo expressed his emotions artfully.

"From that one look at her, I’ve even thought of what our children’s names would be!"

Cui Yun finally shifted his gaze away from Shen Hua.

Then, he absurdly chuckled.
