The maidservant who walked close by suddenly was frightened, “Li, a.s.sistant general Li &h.e.l.lip;”
“What is it?” Li Jingsheng poured himself another cup of wine, evidently impatient.
“This, this was something that the second miss told this servant to give to you!” She stuffed the piece of paper quickly into Li Jingsheng’s bosom before turning around and quickly running away.
a.s.sistant general Li’s expression was super, super scary!
Li Jingsheng’s expression became even worse as he messily opened it up before swearing under his breath.
When he looked at the words on the paper, his eyebrows twitched:
Jingsheng, meet at 9pm in the empty room in the rear courtyard
--- inscribed, Lianxin
His fingers rubbed at her name before his lip corners turned up into an arrogant smile.
Who said that no one liked him, wasn’t there one here?
His mind flashed to the emperor’s birthday banquet when Lou Lianxin lifted up her veil.
His throat suddenly tightened up as a hot feeling started burning him up before his throat swallowed a few times, his whole body felt hot.
It clearly wasn’t hot tonight, so why did he feel hot?
He pulled at his lapels and exposed some of his chest but that didn’t feel right so he quickly pulled his clothes back in place.
As he was pulling and tugging, his body became even more uncomfortable.
The jittery feeling made him feel annoyed at the clamour and noise around him.
It made him impatient to rush out of this d.a.m.n cage, to go relieve his heart of this frustrated feeling.
He lowered his head to look at the piece of paper again before his eyes darkened like ink.
By his ear, a sudden stringed instrument sounded as its dark zither sounds were somewhat mournful, but also gave off an ambiguous feeling that implied something else.
The guests all froze as they suddenly turned to face the pavilion.
They saw a girl wearing a dark red gauze gown that grazed the floor as she moved agilely like she was stepping on clouds.
Her billowing sleeves were raised up above her head as her thin white fingers formed a lotus above her head.
All around her, an alluring charm seemed to emit from her.
The zither sound changed and became lowly alluring and coiling.
At the same time, the girl turned to the side and her soft waist fell backwards, her billowing sleeves fluttering to reveal an enchantingly beautiful face.
A blooming poppy emerged in the middle of her brows, giving her whole body a red light.
She was so beautiful, it mystified people.
A lightly coiling voice that was coquettish sounded, “There’s a beautiful person, to see and never forget. To not see for a day is to think of them until insanity &h.e.l.lip;”
Her softly charming voice made you feel limp and paired with her incredibly beautiful face, it made everyone stare in shock.
They all stared at her, as if they were dumbstruck, as if they were in a fantasy.
Her alluring dance was as if every step stepped on their hearts, her every movement, her every smile seemed to suck at their souls.
Everyone was staring at her silly, they’d seen beautiful dancers before but no one had seen such a beauty who made their hearts itch from the bone.
They all tried to think where this girl was from and how she could be so &h.e.l.lip;
Except for one person.
Mu Yunqing was like if someone had hit his meridian points.
His whole body was stiff like it was his own body as he stared in disbelief at this enchanting girl who was dancing in the lifted pavilion.
When she lifted her legs in a turn, she revealed her white jade-like waist and Mu Yunqing’s mind went completely blank like someone had scooped out everything.
When the girl’s dance finished and she flew towards the guest to where a dumbstruck Lou Qufeng sat, her hands were clasped as she displayed a high-grade deep-sea red pearl in her hands.
Suddenly, Mu Yunqing’s mind seemed to have been shocked awake as he suddenly stood up.
He didn’t even notice when he knocked over the table before him.
Everyone’s eyes were still glued to that white of Su Sheng’s waist that was exposed before hearing a sound and turning towards Mu Yunqing.
They didn’t understand why his reaction was so strong?
Su Sheng raised a brow and looked at him, brilliantly laughing which made Mu Yunqing’s face even paler.

TL note:
Mu Yunqing is shook.
Leave a comment and for Lou Qingwu to be in danger??
I searched so hard for the header picture but her expression isn"t as alluring as I"d like. Thinking of how I need like nearly 500 pictures for this novel and 80ish for makes my head hurt and I"ll probably accidentally reuse a photo here and there :"(
