Chapter 478: House Fight Turns into Thriller 17
At this time, Liu Ruyan was like an ant on a hot pot, extremely anxious. She watched Liu Hui move among the crowd with ease, and the fire of jealousy burned in her heart.
"Aunt, look at her!" Liu Ruyan said angrily in a low voice.
The aunt's face turned livid, with a gleam of resentment in her eyes: "This damn girl actually dared to steal the limelight from me! I won't let her go!"
Liu Ruyan was even more flustered when she heard this. She didn't know what crazy thing her aunt would do, but she knew that she couldn't just sit there and wait for death.
She took a deep breath and decided to take the initiative. Holding the wine glass, she walked towards Liu Hui with a smile: "Sister Huier, what a coincidence, I didn't expect to meet you here."
Liu Hui looked at Liu Ruyan and understood her intention. But she did not back off, but responded with a smile: "Sister Ruyan, it's been a long time since we last met."
Liu Ruyan pretended to be concerned and asked, "Sister Hui'er, are you better now? Why don't you take a few more days off?"
Liu Hui smiled faintly: "Thank you for your concern, sister. My illness has improved a lot. How can I miss the flower viewing banquet at the princess's mansion today?"
When Liu Ruyan heard this, a trace of anger flashed in her eyes. But she still kept smiling: "Sister Hui'er is really in a good mood. However, not everyone can come to this flower viewing banquet. Sister, you'd better be careful and don't cause any trouble."
Liu Hui smiled and responded calmly: "Sister Ruyan is right. But I believe that the flower viewing banquet in the princess's mansion must be fair and just. As long as everyone abides by the rules, there will be no trouble."
Liu Ruyan was choked by Liu Hui's words and was speechless for a moment. She looked at Liu Hui's calm demeanor and became even angrier. But she knew that she couldn't lose her composure here, otherwise she would only make more people laugh at her.
She suppressed her anger, smiled and turned away. But she had secretly vowed in her heart that she would find a chance to teach Liu Hui a lesson.
At this time, Princess Jing'an noticed something was wrong with Liu Ruyan. She smiled and walked over to her: "Miss Ruyan, what's wrong? You don't look very happy."
Liu Ruyan forced a smile: "Nothing, I just saw something unpleasant."
Princess Jing'an thought to herself when she heard this. She knew that the two daughters of Liu Houfu had always been at odds with each other, but she didn't expect that they would have a conflict in this occasion.
Seeing Liu Ruyan's forced smile, she couldn't help but feel sympathy for her. She decided to help her and resolve the embarrassment.
"Miss Ruyan, today's flower-viewing banquet is for everyone to relax and have fun. If there is anything unpleasant, you might as well put it aside for the time being. Look at the beautiful scenery in this garden, can't it make you forget your worries?" Princess Jing'an said.
Liu Ruyan was moved when she heard this. She looked at Princess Jing'an's sincere eyes and knew that she had met a kind person.
"Thank you for your comfort, Your Highness. Ruyan will keep it in mind." Liu Ruyan said.
Princess Jing'an smiled and nodded: "That's good. There are many wonderful programs waiting for everyone at the flower viewing banquet today. Miss Ruyan, please enjoy it."
Liu Ruyan smiled and nodded, the haze in her heart was swept away. She cheered up again and began to try to communicate with other guests.
At this time, Liu Hui also made some new friends in the crowd. With her gentle temperament and smart mind, she quickly won everyone's love.
"This Miss Liu is truly a woman of both talent and beauty." said a man in gorgeous clothes.
Liu Hui said modestly: "Sir, you are too kind. Hui'er only knows a little bit."
The man smiled and said, "Miss Liu, you are too modest. Look at all the flowers in this garden. You can name them one by one. This is not something that most people can do."
Liu Hui smiled and shook her head: "Sir, you are too kind. I just like to appreciate flowers on weekdays and have some knowledge about these flowers."
After hearing this, the man admired Liu Hui's humility and talent even more. He decided to find an opportunity to communicate with Liu Hui in depth and get to know this unique woman.
At this time, the aunt was like an ant on a hot pot, extremely anxious. She watched Liu Hui move around in the crowd like a fish in water, and the fire of jealousy burned in her heart.
"This damn girl actually dared to steal the limelight from me!" the aunt said angrily in a low voice.
She looked around, searching for an opportunity to exploit. Suddenly, she saw a familiar figure—a noble lady with whom she was on good terms.
"Madam!" the aunt called in a low voice.
Hearing this, the noble lady turned to look at her aunt: "What's wrong? You don't look well, are you feeling unwell?"
The aunt forced a smile: "Nothing, I'm just a little worried about Ruyan."
The noble lady understood what he said. She whispered, "Don't worry, I will find a chance to help you vent your anger."
The aunt was delighted when she heard this. She knew she had found a powerful helper, and now she just needed to wait for the opportunity.
At this moment, Princess Jing'an suddenly announced a good news: "Dear guests, for today's flower viewing banquet, I have specially prepared a talent show. If you are interested, you may come on stage to show your talents."
As soon as this was said, the guests started talking about it. They all knew that this was a good opportunity to show their talents.
Liu Ruyan's heart was moved when she heard this. She decided to seize this opportunity and perform well. She stood up and said with a smile: "Your Highness, Ruyan wants to go on stage and play a song for everyone."
Princess Jing'an smiled and nodded: "Okay! Miss Ruyan is really versatile. Please!"
Liu Ruyan stood up and walked towards the guqin on the stage. She took a deep breath and began to play. Her sound was melodious and beautiful, like the sound of nature, which intoxicated the guests.
When the song ended, the guests applauded. Liu Ruyan showed a proud smile on her face, knowing that she had successfully attracted everyone's attention.
At this time, Liu Hui was sitting quietly in the crowd. She knew she didn't have the talent of Liu Ruyan, but she was not discouraged. She decided to show her talent in her own way.
She stood up and said with a smile: "Your Highness, Hui'er wants to recite a poem for everyone."
Princess Jing'an was a little surprised when she heard this. She didn't expect Liu Hui to stand up at this time. But she quickly regained her composure, smiled and nodded: "Okay! Miss Liu, please!"
Liu Hui stood up and walked to the front of the stage. She took a deep breath and began to recite: "A hundred flowers are blooming in the garden, and I am alone in the art gallery in search of fragrance. The wind blows the willow branches and dances lightly, and the moon shines on the flowers, reflecting the splendor..."
Her voice was clear and melodious, like the sound of a spring. Her poems were fresh and refined, making people feel as if they were in a beautiful painting. The guests cast admiring glances at her, and they were all impressed by Liu Hui's talent.
